He was on Howard Stern this morning. Graham spoke about Brian Jones (he knew him) and Nash sounded supportive of Jones. He said that when the stones toured(1965) with his band The Hollies, Brian was travelling with them because he wasn't speaking with Keith and Mick.
Great interview with Howard on Sirius radio.
Rock and roll,

They've been talking about that '74 set for years. Kee-riste, I hope I live long enough to hear it. I saw that tour.

From what I've read Neil Young is the stumbling block to getting the album released as it doesn't live up to his expectations

I too saw this tour. Have bought a dvd of one performance of it with JM, very bad sound. Now Neil being the recording nut (justifiably) I could see him not being happy with the raw material, the sound was pretty poor for this tour.

No kidding.. It's got to sound better than "Four Way"..... I saw the 74 tour but was too young to appreciate it..Quote

Good or bad the one thing I love about Neil is when he walked from BS he said he would not do another project he was not in control of. I appreciate he saw the seedier side of the music biz and wanted to find his own way without the trappings. From what I read this tour was full of Neil's complaints. I saw second night, Neil gets up from the piano stating "I don't want to play the #%&$ing piano anymore" and walked to his guitar. The rest looked at each other and declaired there goes the set list. Some 30 years later you read he had fought to maintain a CSNY tradition of starting slow and acoustic building as you go. He let them do it there way one night then just tanked early into the second show....a huge screw you in public to the others. And you will find Crosby lied to us regarding his voice failure as a post opening night thing, turns out him and GN got real drunk a night before the tour and decided to sing the entire catalog, just not very responsable. Probably the worst opening song of all time, 4 electric guitars, tons of testosterone, all screaming Love the One Your With, Neil had a point.

Yeah, I heard the interview - wish it went on for another hour. He sounded very good for 7AM and being 71 years old! He also thinks Brian was murdered. That Shady Oaks home where Stills was living is the same house that the Stones lived/practiced in 1969. The Peter Tork house...

I'd buy that if it weren't for "Road Rock Vol. 1", the worst sound I've ever heard out of a live album that wasn't an unofficial bootleg recorded by a stoned hippy with his boom mike accidentally pointed towards himself.
Neil's a great guy, but he's full of shit. But people buy his bullshit hook line and sinker. And I think he probably sees the comedy in it more than anybody.

Always got impression Neil Young was difficult to get along with and a prima donna. Always loved Graham Nash's vocals.Quote

i mentioned this on here before but if you look at neils high points as far as album sales are concerned he always seemed to use crosby, stills and nash and crazy horse to boost his popularity when his sales were declining. trot out a tour or album with these guys and then dump them to reap the sales increases

The times I met him (he was a regular at the the place I used to wrok at), he was ALWAYS embarassed about the Hollies. I got to talk to him about the harmonies in Carrie Anne, but he was reluctant even to do that. Nice guy, though.
