HBO taping

03/04/98 Chris Stills @ The Westbeth Theatre NYC

by Lorraine Kaczorowski


I went to the taping of an HBO music show called REVERB. I saw several musical acts perform their set that was taped for the series, including Kacy Crowley and Chris Stills! (At the time, Kacy & Chris had just completed 10 day's of gigs at Border's Music and Books).

Chris was in fine form. He hit the stage surrounded by a plethora of wooden axes. He was accompanied by Ethan Johns, (son of classic record producer Glynn Johns) and producer of Chris' current release "100 Year Thing".

I had seen these two in an electric band format in November 1997 @ their Brownie's gig in NYC. At that time Ethan sat behind the drum kit. This time, Ethan, a young captain manyhands, sang & played various acoustic instuments including guitar & banjo, along with Chris. He is a very accomplished musician.

Chris sang and played guitar great. He taped eight songs, and one was the non-released "Jezebell". He intro'ed it as a song that was about his "Mrs Robinson".

He did two takes on the song"Countryside", otherwise one take on the other songs and they were outta there.

Great performance.

THINK I'LL GO BACK HOME...
