Description
In late 1976 and early 1977, Stephen Stills was operating on his own after the collapse of the short-lived Stills-Young Band, and before hooking up with David Crosby and Graham Nash for CSN’s self-titled hit 1977 album. This gave him the opportunity to tour solo, showcasing his skills on vocals, guitar, and piano, sometimes with a rhythm section, and sometimes entirely on his own. Originally broadcast on the syndicated radio show the King Biscuit Flower Hour, Stills let his versatility fly on CSNY classics, highlights of his solo career, and material that had yet to find release, as well as a cover of Fred Neil’s classic “Everybody’s Talkin’.”

I'd really like to hear a lossless dl of the Stills before making a decision. WGV has a couple shows from this period that are to die for.

I did see where one of the reviewers stated what's called Portland is really the Seattle show. I have a lossy version of that from an old WGV stream, & it's to die for.

Here's the info on the 2 WGV shows that I have, if that reviewer is correct that it's the acoustic tour: KBFH 12/8/75 & 10/25/76.

The reviewers seem quite divided on the sound quality!

The price has to go down 2/3 from 12 pounds + shipping for me.

read a horrible review of the sound on this CD. it said it wasn't even from the shows mentioned.

The reviews at Amazon UK currently stand at 3 1/2 stars overall::

One of them says that the recordings are from The Paramount Theatre, Seattle, Washington 1975 and The Palladium, New York City 1976.

I believe the info Linda lists is LIKELY correct. I will try to remember to pull the cd I burned of the WGV shows & double check.

I finally went upstairs & grabbed my copy from WGV. The shows are Seattle Paramount 12/8/75 & The Palladium, New York, 10/25/76. Linda is correct.

I would kill for an official release of this. The performances are great; especially Seattle which has THE definitive performance of Treetop Flyer. That version should have been on the Stills box.

Story: When I was a teen I taped the Seattle show from the Radio.

Some B#%$^#%DS stole my tape case from my car in my dad's driveway; I lost this & the amazing Maria Muldaur KBFH with Benny Carter.

That's why I love the net: WGV streamed the Stills (though I wish they would have sold it!) & sold a lossless version of the Maria (Which I very happily bought!)

Final comment (I haven't played this for a long time): On my version the Seattle show has pretty good sound under the circumstances; the New York show has pretty bad sound. Is that the case with this edition?

anyone heard this yet?

There are audio samples on the Amazon UK listing page now:

linda,

thanks.......sounds pretty bad

renny

I can't get the samples to play in Firefox, Pale Moon or Opera. Clicking on a sample (the link on the title) just takes me to a "buy this song on mp3" page.

Guess I've got too much security installed on my pc for Amazon's liking?

UK is different, click on the bar at the top of the song title list, not the song itself like US.

Renny, thanks. I had to go to Opera, it won't work with Firefox, but it did work with Opera.

Compared to the WGV streams, on this cd Seattle sounds worse, while New York sounds slightly better.

These are originally KBFH shows, so SOMEWHERE there are decent master tapes.
