Such a strange and unexpected pairing, this performance has always had its charm, it really sticks with me. Looking forward to seeing Neil and Willie at the Outlaw Music Festival in September!
The version of "Long Time Gone" aired was a edited combination of multiple takes. The CSNY harmonies soar on backup and Stephen's vocals hit all the highs.
We recall having a cassette tape of this but completely forgot about it. We seemed to recall that Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young were on the This Is Tom Jones TV program but didn't realize that Tom Jones actually performed with CSNY on the song "Long Time Gone".
From our friend on Sugar Mountain come the details of the recording on 1969-09-06 at ABC Studios in Los Angeles, California. CSNY also performed "You Don't Have To Cry".
Recorded just weeks after their 2nd public performance at the Woodstock Festival, CSNY were a very hot act. And Tom Jones appears to have wanted to get in on the deal.
Supposedly, the taping included CSNY backing up Tom Jones on his song 'It's Not Unusual'.
