00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:04,bandmates Chris Hillman and roger

00:03:04,820 --> 00:03:07,McGuinn troubles that were magnified by

00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,his performing with Buffalo Springfield

00:03:08,990 --> 00:03:12,I remember it being a very kind of sour

00:03:12,980 --> 00:03:15,experience it was sad on stage there was

00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:17,the camaraderie that we'd had as a band

00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,wasn't there anymore it was David

00:03:19,610 --> 00:03:23,Crosby's wanting to be in what became

00:03:23,060 --> 00:03:25,Crosby Stills and Nash that really drove

00:03:25,490 --> 00:03:28,the situation to an end there was some

00:03:28,580 --> 00:03:32,friction there and also I just I've

00:03:32,330 --> 00:03:35,never been here the the easiest person

00:03:53,959 --> 00:03:55,better without you when Buffalo

00:03:55,970 --> 00:03:57,Springfield split for good Crosby

00:03:57,980 --> 00:04:00,instills decided to team up

00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:02,we sort of found herself spending a lot

00:04:02,670 --> 00:04:05,of time together and driving around and

00:04:05,900 --> 00:04:08,on singing songs and to basically man

00:04:08,580 --> 00:04:10,cries we're hanging out and we went and

00:04:10,709 --> 00:04:13,saw Graham sing with the Hollies and

00:04:13,799 --> 00:04:16,then cast comes up and whispers to me do

00:04:16,829 --> 00:04:18,you think you guys need the harmony

00:04:18,510 --> 00:04:20,singer

00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,Cass Elliot of the Mamas and the Papas

00:04:29,510 --> 00:04:31,introduced David and Stephen to the

00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:34,English pop star Graham Nash Graham had

00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:35,been a member of the Holly since the

00:04:35,390 --> 00:04:38,early 60s but by 1968 he was beginning

00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,to feel the limitations the group is

00:04:40,580 --> 00:04:43,putting on

00:04:47,380 --> 00:04:50,when I made the decision to leave the

00:04:50,050 --> 00:04:52,Hollies three things have happened one I

00:04:52,780 --> 00:04:54,was getting frustrated that I was

00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:55,writing songs that I thought were pretty

00:04:55,930 --> 00:04:58,cool and that they didn't want to record

00:04:58,090 --> 00:05:00,secondly they wanted to do an entire

00:05:00,190 --> 00:05:02,album of Bob Dylan songs in a kind of

00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:06,Las Vegas horn section swing band can

00:05:06,460 --> 00:05:09,detain and the third thing is that I'd

00:05:09,220 --> 00:05:11,actually been befriended by this teddy

00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,bear called David Crosby Cass Elliot

00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,said get in the car I want you to meet

00:05:16,180 --> 00:05:18,somewhere she rather modern and told me

00:05:18,340 --> 00:05:22,to get him stoned on his chest was a lid

00:05:22,750 --> 00:05:26,from a shoebox and in the lid was a pile

00:05:26,260 --> 00:05:30,a'dope I had this pullover pot meaning

00:05:30,250 --> 00:05:31,if you smoke something we're going

00:05:31,840 --> 00:05:33,someplace you pull over and try to

00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:35,remember where you were thought it was

00:05:35,380 --> 00:05:38,done air weed so he we laughed all

00:05:38,620 --> 00:05:39,through the afternoon

00:05:39,850 --> 00:05:42,and I liked him a lot in the summer of

00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,1968 crosby Stills and Nash sang

00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:46,together for the first time at a house

00:05:46,750 --> 00:05:49,in Laurel Canyon belonging to either

00:05:49,060 --> 00:05:52,Cass Elliot or Joni Mitchell nobody is

00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,absolutely sure now this is possibly

00:05:55,300 --> 00:06:00,because we might have smoked but you

00:06:00,250 --> 00:06:01,know none of us is absolutely sure

00:06:01,690 --> 00:06:03,whether it was Joanie's or cats as I say

00:06:03,370 --> 00:06:05,it was Joanie's say Davis g***t it wrong

00:06:05,740 --> 00:06:08,it would sit casas hills were we sang

00:06:08,770 --> 00:06:10,together in the morning when you arise

00:06:10,330 --> 00:06:11,we had you know I had a pretty good

00:06:11,950 --> 00:06:14,harmony - and are we saying it - Graham

00:06:14,140 --> 00:06:18,you would do that again would you

00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,and the third time he put the top part

00:06:22,130 --> 00:06:25,on Stephen I look to each other in my

00:06:25,870 --> 00:06:28,before crosby Stills and Nash could make

00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:30,their group official Graham had to go

00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:31,back to England to quit The Hollies

00:06:31,820 --> 00:06:34,David and Stephen joined him in London

00:06:34,330 --> 00:06:37,we could to Britain to rehearse now and

00:06:37,940 --> 00:06:40,there were like fans that would spot us

00:06:40,970 --> 00:06:44,in a card and holler things at us

00:06:44,150 --> 00:06:46,because we were blowing up one of their

00:06:46,100 --> 00:06:47,groups now

00:06:47,030 --> 00:06:49,oh there's horrible Americans I didn't

00:06:49,250 --> 00:06:50,know that it's that big a deal

00:06:50,510 -->...
