Notes:
- Opened for The Grateful Dead
1960s - #7: On October 25, 1969, 55 years ago today when the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane were scheduled to play Winterland, one or more of the opening acts had to cancel. Stephen Stills and Graham Nash were at the venue as they were in San Francisco at the time recording the Deja Vu album with David Crosby and Neil Young, so they filled in, performing a short acoutic set as a duo, as captured in this soundboard recording This show might be the only time just the 2 of them performed together, sans Crosby. The 2nd song of the night was Teach Your Children, which wouldn't be officially released until March 1970 when Deja Vu hit stores so this might be the first time the song was ever perfromed live. The set ends with Black Queen, a tune Stills had written in hope that the Grateful Dead would record it, though they never did. When I saw Stills sit in with the Dead, however, in April 1983, they backed him oin that tune! Note - with a thanks to Albums That Should Exist for the original files.

Wow! I never heard of this show before. Only S&N. It has to be the only time they performed as a duo, and its a SBD boot! Thank ya kindly, Speedy!
Speedy, good evening from AZ Just wanted to mention that Stills and Nash, together and separately, appeared at a benefit for the Verde Valley School in 1991. also appearing were Shawn Colvin, of course Jackson Browne, and some guy named Kenny Loggins
The concert ended with Stills, Nash, Colvin, Browne and Loggins singing 'Rock Me On The Water' on a postage-stamp stage; they did another song as together but time has faded the recollection of what it was
I realize your mention of the Stills-Nash appearances was centered on the early time period, thought you might like to hear about this wonderful show
Note, these became an annual October event for several years, and other folk sharing the stage at times were Lyle Lovett, Bruce Cockburn, Melissa Etheridge and more
Like your site a lot, thanks for the shows
What a great post! You have a knack for posting cool stuff I've never seen, again and again - thank you speedy! Also, cool liner notes that this might have been the first public airing of "Teach."
Thanks!
Glad folks enjoyed this one!
Thanks for this, Speedy, and thanks for the background info!
