Stephen Stills, I think, is the
most underrated singer/songwriter/musician of the past three decades. A
musical genius associated with such eminently notable bands as Crosby Stills
& Nash and Buffalo Springfield, we here see Stills at an early 80's
Crosby Stills & Nash (CSN) show.
Born
in 1945 in Dallas, TX, Stills, who's family moved often, also spent childhood
years in Louisiana, Florida and various locations in Central America--thus
his roots in the Blues and Latin-flavored music.
Later
in the same show as above, Stills concentrates on a typically complex yet
fluid, stylistic guitar solo. Lately, Stills has gotten his long-deserved
critical acclaim by being the first musician in history to be inducted
into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame twice in the same year--as a member
of both the Buffalo Springfield and of Crosby Stills & Nash. And if
you missed the live Real Audio induction ceremony web broadcast, I hope
you've caught the ceremony highlights on VH-1.
In
the same late-80s show as pictured above, Stills cradles one of his many
beloved Martin Guitars and lets an open chord impeccably reverberate before
continuing with a dazzling solo during his classic "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes".
