Logic Posted January 19, 2023 Author Share Posted January 19, 2023 I used to work at a big hotel near a convention center and arena, so we'd get a fair amount of famous guests staying with us. The one and only time I really got star-struck is when David Crosby rounded the corner from the elevator. I just froze in place and stared. I didn't mean to, but that's what happened. Absolute titan of music. You can't tell the story of folk and rock music in America without including a good bit about David Crosby. Legendary. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 RIP. I saw them once with friends as a teen at the Aud. Great show, and worth every penny. These guys I was with had a habit of sneaking into concerts, and this is one where I joined them. Very memorable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Man, that’s sad news indeed. I saw them twice and they were so good live. Here’s a great version of “Almost Cut My Hair” with John Mayer trading guitar licks with Stephen Stills as David sings with great gusto. RIP, David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) At least he lasted longer than his liver. Remember 97 rock giving out tickets (to I think a CSN concert) if you could get closest to the # of times Crosby was arrested. I think the winning # was 79.

muppy Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) I saw him live at Rich Stadium way back in the day with CSN&Y. De ja vu was my very first album I ever owned. Legendary musician.

leh-nerd skin-erd Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I recall that he was a complicated guy, prickly, adversarial etc. Reading about him today, he talked about his frustration that he lost 10 years or so along the way due to drugs etc, and that at one point he said not one person he made music with liked him. Great musician, lucky af to get the liver transplant when he did….and probably time to listen to some music I haven’t heard before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really a shame when former bandmates end up estranged. It seems to happen quite a bit. Frey/Felder; Robinson brothers; Fogerty brothers; Bachman brothers; all of the strife between Van Halen ... the list goes on and on. And in the examples I wrote, the Robinson brothers are the only ones who seem to have mended ways BEFORE someone's death. I find it very sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Things Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 RIP David. I'm very grateful to have seen CSN open up for the Grateful Dead in Buffalo, in the early 90's.

The Dean Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 A real loss. I was not shocked, but a little surprised at his death because he has been pretty productive in the past few years. Even performing live with his band, which included his son. From what admittedly small sample I have heard from his newer stuff, I'd say it's VERY good. His voice sounded better than ever. RIP. My theme song when I was younger. Really still applies I suppose: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Just came across this video of David and the band Venice playing a benefit, to aid a child’s elementary school, in a living room with an exclusive audience of 70 people. Very cool and very classy. Edited January 27, 2023 by ChevyVanMiller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvian Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 a great artist who stayed true to his ideals even if they were self indulgent. Deja Vu is a desert island album as is the debut CSN record. Popular music will never be that good again in our lifetime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crosby cost him lots of money be alienating Neil Young and others. Crosby was not a nice person but everybody respected his talent. He was a harmonic genius. Btw I heard an old interview with him in which he said that his favorite band was Steeley Dan, and that Donald Fagen asked him to sing with him.

Wacka Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Crosby's immune system was f'd up because of the anti-rejection meds he was on after his liver transplant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
