Crosby, Stills and Nash provide what I think to be the best harmonies only second to The Beatles...love most everything they did too...some truly amazing songs and lyrics...I also like them solo and hear is one of my favorites from Graham Nash... really love the lyrics in this song...

Graham gave Jerry the "Alligator" (the '57 body/'63 neck Stratocaster that gave Garcia what I believe to be his greatest guitar tone...that slinky, sinuous, punchy timbre he used during the Europe '72 era) primarily for his work on this album.

Nash brought in an impressive group of guests to assist in the recording, including David Crosby, Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, Dave Mason, David Lindley, Rita Coolidge, and Neil Young under his early 1970s pseudonym Joe Yankee. The making of this album directly followed his break-up with longtime girlfriend, Joni Mitchell. Many of the songs are about their time together. The album featured the traits that Nash had come to be known for: a good sense of pop song construction, expressions of emotional sincerity, and fervent political activism.

Thanks! for posting the original mix. I just bought the CD and it's all the 2008 remix. Garcia is pushed to the back and the drums and bass are out in front. They cut out the talking at the beginning and they've even fiddled with the vocal line (adding some more "No, No"s from GN). It's discouraging for those of us who remember the original version from 40+ years ago.
