"... ain't this song a bust?"    Well, not completely, but definitely from an era when Mr. Stills had musical influences from outside of his main strengths.

If sub-par had a sound track, this would be on it.

For some reason this song always reminds me of Strawberry Letter 23 by the Brothers Johnson.

Funky CSN :) Bob James (Theme from 'Taxi') could be playing the Electric piano on this one (he's not). I have this album on vinyl, a great track.

These guys were/are so much better with Neil Young along for the ride. When they miss, they miss it completely.

True on many of the accounts. Except the groove part.

 

At first I thought you were describing techno-beat.

Oops. I thought the original poster was abbreviating Crosby Stills & Nash. Of course Dark Star isn't on that one!

In my memory, this song is awesome, powerful and deeply moving. The technology and style of music has moved on. Still, however, this is a good song. it would be great to hear someone with a feel for depth of emotion and an ear for tastefully renditioned music do a cover of this.

I agree - this sounds like perfunctory yacht-rock to me.   At least it's better than the dreadful "Just A Song Before I Go", which I believe is on the same album.

Well, not exactly prior - for this song at least.  Released in '77.  Mr. Young wanders in and out of their work.

The band formed in the spring of 1969.  Neil joined that summer and the first time the band toured, he was on board.

For some reason I always think of the movie Dark Star. It has nothing whatever to do with the movie but I still somehow associate them.

I really like the movie and have it on VHS and found I can buy the DVD now. Maybe I will.
