We just about finished mixing the record at my house in Hawaii, Crosby was there and Russell and Nathaniel, and when we figured out that we would be going out with CSN this year and that we had all this new music. I knew that it would be a burden for Stephen to try and learn 20 new songs, because they - they're not easy.

Especially when other stuff is not in the way. We've already done it the other way. We've already booked a million tours and 20,000 records for the record company; it all adds too much pressure. One piece of music at a time, one show at a time. We can handle that and we're doing well at it.
absurd almost david gone neither realized record
I realized at one point that David and I had not made a record together in almost 26 years and I thought that that was absurd because, first of all it had gone so fast, I didn't really realize, neither did David, that it had been that long.

I plowed myself into listening to about 98% of everything that was ever recorded in the past 20-odd years-I began to fall back in love with why I love David and Steven in the first place. It put us back in touch with what our strengths were, and it was a thrilling process.

band cared charts committed companies company couple days felt giving last lukewarm nobody promotion record several singles understood
After the lukewarm promotion of our last couple of records, we felt nobody at the company really understood us and cared about us. In days past, record companies were committed to working a band over several singles not just giving up if the first single did not set the charts on fire.

I think Stills has been playing better than ever. I know a lot of it sounds self-serving, but he truly has.
changes four lucky matter three worth
We have been through our changes as individuals and as bands. Sometimes it's been really rough, and sometimes it's been really wonderful, but it's always been worth it. And no matter what we've been going through, the three of us, or the four of us, or any of us individually, we still feel that we've been lucky that we're able to be making music.
fantastic people secondary staying toward worked
We've kind of tended toward staying in the - what's called the secondary markets, where you know, where people don't necessarily go, and it's worked out fantastic because the people have been very appreciative, you know, and they've been going wild, you've been there to some of the shows, its been fantastic.

People like us probably didn't have any real answers. But at least we brought up the questions.

That was one of the things that James Taylor said about us when he inducted us into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; that this was a real working band. It's very obvious when people come down to see the show tonight, they'll understand that this band has been getting along better personally and musically for the past couple of years and we're flying.
