I saw Crosby solo twice in small clubs during his "lost" years. The second time he was really in tough shape, kept taking short breaks - which I now know was to ingest drugs, but I didn't know it at the time.
Here's Crosby and Nash, an amazing duo. I'm pretty sure Crosby played mostly Martins, but occasionally....

Crosby also recorded "For Free" on the album of the same name released in July of '21. It was his last solo studio album. He sings it as a duet with Sarah Jarosz. Joan Baez did the portrait on the cover.

Sad. All the good ones seem to be leaving us it seems. He led a pretty amazing life though so good on him.

And it was the same Guild D-50 as in that other picture I posted, and he had an upside down TRC already back in the mid 70's!
That below picture was taken at the Frost Amphitheater in Stanford/CA in 1976:

My favorite song of Joni’s - imho, no cover version will ever be able to touch her original artistry. Just beautiful.

Crosby was one of the first people outside the Beatles and Co to hear A Day in the Life
A shy Crosby photo-bombing (or trying not to photo-bomb) a Beatles interview:
Crosby described the day he heard ‘A Day in the Life’ for the first time: “The best thing that ever happened to me was visiting The Beatles when they were making Sgt. Pepper,” he began. “I came in and I was very high. They sat me down on a stool in the middle of the studio and rolled up two six-foot-tall speakers on either side of me. Then, laughing, they climbed the stairs back to the control room and left me there. And then they played ‘A Day in the Life.’ At the end of that last chord, my brains just ran out my nose onto the floor in a puddle. I didn’t know what to do, I was just stupefied.”

Love this performance with Chris Thile
Crosby talks about his guitars, from 2016.

Don't think I've ever seen a D50 without a Chesterfield, and that's why I thought it was a D40 In this photo. It must be pre-1967, because by some time in 1967, they did have one, even the D40s.
Found a '67 on Reverb with no Chesterfield.

While on a flight last year I had the pleasure last year of watching his documentary "David Crosby: Remember My Name."
Great insights to the man and his life. He was an original. We all just lost something special....

I watched this documentary last night -- great. Crosby is disarmingly honest about his failures and the many low points in his life, most of them self-induced. He is unsparingly critical of hs behavior and the effect it had on family, friends and fellow musicians.
(BTW, from that documentaty, the clip of CSN performing the most horrifyingly out-of-tune "Silent Night" ever, for the Obama's xmas celebration, is jaw-dropping and hilarious. The looks on audience members' faces are priceless -- especially Barack's and Michelle's.)
I love the Byrds, was never a fan of CSN (or CSNY) in spite of some good songs. The *If I Could Only Remeber My Name* album is the one I like, an album which was savaged in the press when it came out, only acheiving its "stoner classic" status in later years,
Being an open tunings person, respect for some of Crosby's six-string inventions in that area.

Hans wrote in his book: "ca. 68 Chesterfield", so earlier models had no Chesterfield.

Yes, I had to check back on that. Always keep the Bible handy!
