Reading these comments pages, it turns out that Crosby is a lot more controversial than I thought.

For me, he was the genius of CS&N, and this album, which was the soundtrack of the summer of 1972 in the 8 track player in my Chev Malibu, illustrates why.
 
100% right on. One of the best albums in my collection, and Crosby is a genius, taking CSN(Y) to levels they never would have reached without him.  Saw him and Nash in Denver a couple of years ago and he still has it, man.  Opened with Eight Miles High "to get it out of my system" and it just soared from there for 2 1/2 hours.

It was the 60's and 70's man, no going back now. Great music, mostly great memories as far as I can remember. Just kidding, not, no I really don't remember everything from that era, it did become blurry at times, but the brotherly and sisterly love was very much all around with so much less anger. That's what I miss most of all. I think we just ignored the angry folks and hung out whereever the vibes were positve. Peace.

I bought this album in vinyl in the 70s, made a cassette for the car in the early 80s and then bought the CD in the 90s. Needless to say...

So awesome to now hear it on the interweb! Thanks RP.

Mt. Tamalpais was a part of my childhood in the Bay Area as a kid, too.  Whenever we went from Berkeley to Stinson Beach, Tamales Bay and other points nearby we went over the montain to get there.  This was before there was the San Rafael bridge.  Take the ferry across, get off and go a little bit and make that left hand turn by San Quentin, go through Mill Valley and up and over.  We always kept an eye out for the little frozen waterfalls and patches of snow along the roadside.  It was the only place in the Bay Area where you could see things like that.  There were also the wild ferns and all kinds of vegetation that made the trip rather magical.

A very special place indeed.

What a golden era, late 60's to the mid-70's. I had lost track of CSN after CSN&Y. Just discovered this album 3 years ago. Good stuff. Stephen Stills I suppose commanded my attention with his solo albums after the breakup and this album really helps define the differences. Stills solo works, especially the Manasas albums had a lot of cool latin influences and interstingly, blue grass and country influences. Those were the days. These days are pretty cool as well if you let them be.
