Is it just me or does it sound Stephen Stills is using some kind of modulation on those two songs - leslie cab set to slowest setting? No phase shifters back in '68.
First CSN Album: leslie on electric guitar on Suite Judy and Long Time Gone?

I don't know why he got rejected.
I would love to know. I'm a huge CSN&Y fan. I've actually met Crosby on three occasions. I know someone who knows Croz. Stills walked by once. I've never talked to him.
Why did Stills get rejected?? Please.

Stills' teeth weren't that bad. He was rejected because he was from the South.
Game Set Match.
Don't forget Manassas and the (very short lived) Stills & Young Band. My hero Neil Young behaving badly (again).
Steve was also the bandleader for one of the late night TV talk shows in the mid to late 70's, I remember the Firebird. What a disaster, nobody needs to be treated that way.
For Leslie Galore, check out audiophile version 'Younger Than Yesterday" cut #14, alt unused version of 'My Back Pages' with Roger playing the Rick thru a Leslie Cabinet, same vocals, same Crosby and Hillman guitar parts. Sehr cool.

Studio1087 you might find this web page interesting. 100 little known facts about CS&N. Enjoy. Stills has always been one of my favorites, although I prefer his "lost woman" songs over his activism. 1969 was a great year and when the first CS&N record hit the shelves, I snapped it up. I still play many of the tracks on this first disk. Playing "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" in open E tuning always makes me smile. It most definitely was a Leslie. The organist in the band that I played with in 1969 had two of them that we hauled around with his Hammond. I remember two things about them - how heavy they were up a flight of stairs 
and how cool a guitar (and organ) sounded through them. My Roland can imitate, but; cannot duplicate that total sound.
(link removed)
Fact 49 - "Stills scuffled with a drunken spectator who was heckling the band during a benefit performance at a 1969 nonviolence festival." That was the "Concert for Big Sur" and he was directly heckling Stills. I was offered free tickets and declined them because I didn't see anyone on the bill that I wanted to see. The next day I found out that Stills and Young had performed along with Joni Mitchell. When the video was released years later, I bought it to remember my error in judgment. I did see CS&N in concert a number of times after that.

"Stills' teeth weren't that bad. He was rejected because he was from the South" ......Yeah that too
Could never forget Manassas - "The Treasure" is one of my favorites. Snatched that DVD up when it was released.
Love the alt takes that keep coming out of the wood work.
I'm a big Clarence White/Byrds fan too.

Love these guys stuff. Probably most played albums in my house ever were,
CSN, CSNY, various solo albums, Neil Young and Crazy Horse, mBuffalo Springfield, and even CPR. Always loved "Wooden Ships" Just so evocative. Playing was OK too...actually I think the playing was great. Somehow "4 way street" seemed to never come off my stereo for weeks at a time. Plain wore out the first copy I had.
Never have been able to get "suite judy blue eyes" right. Love "cost of freedom".
Is Crosby still in jail? Or did he manage to avoid that?

Didn't Stills actually take guitar lessons from Jimi at one point?
Also heard that the Grateful Dead spent a Summer with CSN learing to sing harmonies, though not from the same guy.
Any band with TWO guys that have White Falcons has gotta be bada$$!
Seen CSN 3 or 4 times, but never Neil, which is a huge black mark on my concert resume. But so is seeing Creed. Twice.

I was thinking about that, too - in "Shakey," Neil makes it sound as if that whole exercise was solely to wind up Stills. You gotta love it!

Great video, much better quality than the first time I saw it on Youtube. This was recorded back when Stephen's Falcon was still white. After lusting after one for more years than I want to admit, I bought one last year. "Down by the River" is one of the songs that I like to play on it. "Wooden Ships" is the other. As weird as it sounds, it a fun guitar just to look at. Makes me smile.
Studio1087 try tuning your guitar to EEEEBE for "Suite Judy Blue Eyes" and "Carry On". I can post some of the chord structures if you need me to. I have an old Sigma that I leave it that tuning all the time. While not much of a guitar in standard tuning in comes alive in open E.
I also do "Cost of Freedom" in standard E tuning and "Daylight Again" in double drop D - DADGBD. Still's uses drop D and double drop D tunings for many of his songs. I do "Treetop Flyer" in drop D, but; I have seen it done by others both ways. Just before performing "Treetop" on the "Daylight Again" video, Stills hits an open chord to check his tuning. On that performance he was in Drop D.

Speaking of his effects, does he get that sound on Wooden Ships and Just a Song Before I Go? Does he use an auto-wah?
I believe Wooden Ships is an old Tele or Esquire in the "mud" position. Not sure about "Just a Song."
On the Manassas video the only thing between his guitars and amps seems to be a wah-wah pedal.
On Still's "E" tuning, which strings are unison and which are octave?
