Stephen Stills

The new disc, Live At Berkeley 1971 is out now.   I got it yesterday and it's on repeat.  I am biased I am sure, but I think he is one of the best singers, songwriters, musicians of my generation.  Plus he plays Sugar Babe on this disc, a favorite of mine, from SS2.

Pun accepted

OK. Got it. Had no idea they covered this -- when you said you were a "huge SS fan", I erroneously assumed you were specifically referring to his own compositions.  

Yeah; this is pretty good. Personally I find many performances from that '74 tour were degraded rather than enhanced by drug intake but I realize this is a minority opinion. 

This is my favorite version of his Tree-Top Flyer...

Thank’s for the tip. I am listening to it now, Qobuz. Funny, I just finished listening to the version from Four Way Streets.

It is enjoyable. The sound quality not quite as good as 4 Way Street, but still great. It is great to have another album where they were sober enough to perform… there were so few.

 

The album really takes me back…
