Stephen Stills and Manassas were booked to perform at Winterland Arena in San Francisco on
October 4, 1973. When Stills took the stage for an acoustic set, fans were shocked and
thrilled to see him joined by Graham Nash and David Crosby. After four songs Neil Young
emerged giving us the first Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young performance in over two
years. The group wound up performing a number of tracks they had recorded earlier in the
year for an album that never saw the light of day.
In watching black-and-white video of the set it's clear the foursome didn't have time to
rehearse much before taking the stage, but it adds a sense of excitement and a tense
energy to the performance. One thing the quartet didn't have any issues with were their
harmonies, which we mostly spot-on.
