Having spent over 50 years forging a quite extraordinary musical career,
Stephen Stills remains
a stunning musician, a consummate performer and the first person to
have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice on the same
night, as he was in 1997 as a member of both Buffalo Springfield and
Crosby, Stills & Nash.
This triple-disc collection contains a selection of live radio broadcast
recordings of Stephen in concert, made at various junctures during the
man s awesome solo career. First up, disc one features two such
transmissions, recorded in the fall of 1976 in Portland, Oregon and New
York City in the wake of his own Illegal Stills album, and his joint
record with Neil Young Long May You Run, both released earlier in 76.
Next up, on disc two, Stills appearance at the 1978 Bread & Roses
Festival is featured in its entirety, played about a month after the
release of his Thoroughfare Gap album. However, he only performs the
title track from the recent release, along with his version of Buddy
Holly s Not Fade Away , filling his set instead largely with oldies and
covers. On the third CD, Stephen s more recent but still wonderful
concert from Las Vegas in 1995 is included, a show renowned as being
among the finest, most electric shows Stills ever performed.
