Stephen Stills Live At Berkeley 1971 – Vinyl LP (Orange)

STEPHEN STILLS / LIVE AT BERKELEY 1971Live archive release. Fourteen tracks from Stephen Still’s First U.S. Tour, previously unissued and recorded Live at The Berkeley Community Theater in 1971. In 1971 Stephen Stills embarked on a U.S. tour, opening each show with an intimate acoustic first set, and closing each night with a riveting electric set featuring the Memphis Horns. These historic, previously unreleased recordings took place over two nights at the Berkeley Community Theater, with David Crosby joining him on vocals and guitar for “You Don’t Have To Cry” and “The Lee Shore.” These recordings find Stills at peak performance in both vocal delivery and musicianship, effortlessly incorporating alternate instrumentation on his instantly recognizable tracks, including a seamless medley of “49 Bye Byes” and “For What It’s Worth” unexpectedly played on piano.
