SM58's all around. Sounded great.

Chris Hornbeck

I hate to say this, but they haven't sounded very good in years, at least
when I heard them on TV.
They sure were great at the Greek theater in '69.

Hey Chris,

Yup, work with 58s (and the board) a lot and they come to be just grand.

I heard one of their new songs on the radio the other day. Sounded
fantastic. Those guys can still sing.

I think Nash has always kept himself pretty together, singing well all along.
It's Crosby and Stills who really lost it, Crosby most famously for his
virtual-suicide drug binges over an absolutely unimaginable number of years.
Such a shame. He had one of the best sounding high male voices ever (insert
"high" joke here). In addition to CSN, he was probably the biggest single
contributor to the distinctive sound of The Byrds next to Roger McGuinn's 12
string (and voice).

I don't know much about CSN other than their music but from what I've
observed Nash seems to be the one keeping the whole thing "on track". There
was a few years ago on a show (possibly 20/20, etc.) that showed them in
rehearsal and Stills was excessively drunk and Nash was giving him hell
right on TV. I can't believe Stills allowed that to be aired (if he had any
choice).

Check out Crosby's singing on the CPR studio albums. He still sounds great (at
least in the studio)! I NEVER heard a live performance by CSN that sounded that
good. Of course this was before in-ear monitors wer available.

I don't care for CSNY very much (I can't stand Stills..), but Crosby's
first solo album, If I Could Only Remember My Name, which was also
recorded by Stephen Barncard, sounds absolutely gorgeous.

You know term "egomanic with an iniferiority complex".
I think that discribes Mr. Stills to a tee.
Add lots of coke and booze, and you got one real swell guy. Never met David,
but talked with him on the phone a few years ago, he seemed ok.
From what I've heard, Graham is the saniest and nicest.

I did sound for a CPR gig, and David was an absolute saint the entire time. He
also sounded amazingly good. And he seemed very happy to be alive and kicking.

They did have some nice tones, and Steve was/is a pretty aggressive
collector, so he knows what's what in terms of good acoustics. I worked on a
D-45 of his once (fret was popping out on the high-E strng side) that he
acquired by outbidding some Japanese company that was going to buy it & tear
it apart to make Martin copies... he paid $10k for it, and this was in like
'81 or '82. I just about **** my pants as I was getting ready to pull the
fret out & I mentioned to him: "Hey, I hear you paid 10 grand for one of
these not too long ago", and he said: "Yeah, that's the one, right there"
LOL I was just a little nervous as I was working on that guitar.

I don't know if it was a different guitar or just an inflated version
of the same story, but I heard that he bought the last available D45
for over $100,000. Nobody was willing to sell one after that.

$10K in 1982 wasn't a bad price, actually.

I'm pretty sure this one was $10k, and that was a record amount at the time
for a D-45... I remember it caused quite a buzz. As to the $100k figure - I
dunno about that one; like you said, could be an inflated version of the
story or another incident altogether.

$10K in 1982 wasn't a bad price, actually.


Was it? Hmmm... ISTR that was one of only a small handful guitars that went
for in that price range around that time... the others being '57 bursts &
that Strat that David Gilmour now owns. Maybe I'm not remembering correctly,
but it seems to me that was right around when you first started seeing those
five-figure prices at guitar auctions for regular "production" instruments
(not counting original Flying-V's or some other rare birds like that) . Of
course, now, $10,000 vintage gitfiddles are pretty commonplace.

It's been so long since I followed the price of rare guitars that I
really can't say. But it was the Japanese collectors (two or three of
them) that caused the steep run up in prices in the late '80s and
'90s. They had more money than anyone else, and were willing to pay
so much that even collectors in the US (and the few active players who
had D45s) had to think seriously about those offers. That's when the
price went through the roof. But Stills had a lot of money and loved
the D45, too.

Eventually, the wealthiest of the Japanese collectors went to jail for
tax evaision so the really big money dried up. But by then, all of the
D45s were in the hands of people who simply wouldn't part with them,
so their value was indeterminate.
