Album Review: David Crosby - Dallas 1987

As he emerged from his drug-fueled descent and subsequent imprisonment, David Crosby returned to the scene of the crime to perform a solo club set at Rockefeller’s, a gig that’s been turned into Dallas 1987.

It marks the first posthumous album from Crosby, who died in January.

It’s a one-hour, full-show recording that finds Crosby in strong voice on Easter Sunday and accompanying himself on guitar for eight of the 10 tracks and switching to piano for “Delta” and “Oh, Yes I Can.”

“Compass” follows “Yes” as the other prisoner-era composition and Crosby tells his audience to never get busted in Texas and to consider his life up to that point before getting into freebase or other hard drugs.

Crosby spends the balance of the set playing Joni Mitchell’s “For Free” and looking back at Crosby-Nash on “Lee Shore;” CSN with “In My Dreams,” “Guinnevere,” “Wooden Ships” and “Long Time Gone;” and CSNY on “Almost Cut My Hair.”

These versions are akin to the demos Crosby might’ve made for his bandmates. And though it’s clear he’s still finding his way back, Dallas 1987 shines some nice light on one of Crosby’s darkest periods.

The record ends with stage announcements reminding patrons of upcoming gigs by Donovan and Arlo Guthrie, a mirror into the sad state of 1960s musicians in the ’80s.

David Crosby 1941 - 2023; Music is Love - and Healing

- Steve Postell reveals setlist planned for Croz’s Feb. 22 gig; it’s a doozy

It’s Nov. 5, 2017, and Sound Bites is preparing to take a solo road trip to see David Crosby.

The trek from Columbus to Kent, Ohio, is about 2.5 hours. But opting to leave room for contingencies - and perhaps dinner - I set out early for a long-anticipated concert.

The blog had seen Crosby with CSN and CNSY multiple times; with Crosby-Nash once. But never as a solo artist. And given Crosby - who died Jan. 19 - was Sound Bites’ favorite of the four and probably his favorite male rock ‘n’ roll singer, this solo gig was a long time coming.

The drive was a bitch. The weather turned and rain fell so hard, 35 mph on the freeway felt reckless. A tornado warning was issued. Taking temporary shelter in a rest area seemed only vaguely safer than just driving, so after contemplating bagging the whole thing and turning south, I headed north once again.

The trip seemed to take eight hours, but it was closer to four.

There was no time for dinner. And nowhere to park.

After driving around the rain-soaked streets of what Crosby referred to as “the scene of the crime” before playing “Ohio,” Sound Bites found a side-street parking spot. It started to pour. No umbrella. Mad dash toward the venue, the 600-something seat Kent Stage, where a front-row seat awaited Guy Who Goes to Out-of-town Concerts Alone.

Winded, wet and wondering what the fuck I’d gotten myself into, I wander down front and … no seat.

Oversold.

A very nice and apologetic usher brought out a chair and Sound Bites was set. Uptight. Wound up. But seated. And still wondering what the fuck I’d gotten myself into when the lights went down and Crosby and band took the stage and lit into “In My Dreams.”

Less than five seconds had elapsed when … everything was perfect. Just splendid. Lost in the music, Sound Bites couldn’t have been happier as he internally scolded himself for ever considering turning back and for wasting time wondering what the fuck he’d gotten himself into.

This was a sublime gig; an all-timer among more than 700 concerts over the past four decades. Chills all night. And they had nothing to do with the rain-soaked attire or the skipping of the dinner.

It took me back to all those times I’d walked into Grateful Dead concerts feeling pretty lousy from the previous night’s Grateful Dead concert and wondering what the fuck I’d gotten myself into. The second the houselights went down and the band was onstage, all that stuff - physical, mental or both - utterly evaporated. Same thing on Nov. 5, 2017, in Kent.

And it wasn’t simply seeing Crosby, a guy I’d followed for as long as I’d followed music and one of the few artists from whom I’d purchased virtually everything he’d put on the market and some things he had not - like a killer Crosby, Nash & Young gig recorded inside a prison and released on cheap vinyl titled Waterbabies. I saw him a year later at the same venue with a different band and the results were not the same.

But on that night in Kent, David Crosby personified the power of music to heal, to restore and to make white-knuckle driving through a potential death storm feel like a small investment yielding a big return.

This is why you buy the goddam ticket and go to the show. Every once in a while, you witness something like David Crosby in Kent. Always a special memory, it’s even more so now.

Sound Bites is going to miss that guy.

——————————

Meanwhile, Crosby had been planning a dream setlist for his Feb. 22 show in California, according to guitarist Steve Postell, who posted the setlist the new band had fleshed out.

It read:

“Naked in the Rain;” “Long Time Gone;” “Homeward through the Haze;” “Carry Me;” “Wooden Ships;” “Delta;” “Guinevere;” “Dèjá Vu;” “Carry On / Questions;” “Woodstock;” “Almost Cut My Hair;” “Ohio;” “Anything at All”

“I once asked (Crosby) if I had to be as big an asshole as he was in order to play on his record; he told me that was something I could never achieve,” Postell said.

“ … This music is indelibly etched in my hands, heart and mind, and through that I will carry the memory of one of the most magnificent, flawed and beautiful human beings I have ever known.”

Hi, dear my friends❤️

Before I knew it, it's the last day of September. I've been so busy this month that I haven't been able to check my Tumblr's dashboard much… I'm sorry for not being able to visit your blog🙏🏻💦

I would like to give you a little update on the current status of our pack. Today, Nico was successfully spay surgery and discharged from animal hospital after an overnight stay. She's still in low spirits, but she'll be back to her active self soon!✨🐶✨

You’re home, Nico💕 Please rest calmly, don't get too excited until the stitches are removed!!

依然として慌ただしい日々が続き、またまたTumblrを長らく放置しているうちに今月も終わろうとしております😅 9月末だと言うのにまだ日中の気温が33℃もあったりしてさすがに今年の夏はしつこすぎる💢

でも週明けからはようやくだいぶ秋めいてくるのだそうで（リアリィ〜？笑）気がつけば野辺には彼岸花やコスモスなども咲き始めています♫

そんななか、生後７か月半になったニコは昨日無事に避妊手術を終え本日退院してきました。さすがに少しだけしょんぼりぎみですが、すぐ元気になってくれるでしょう✨🐶✨てか、１週間後の抜糸までどうか暴れずにすごして欲しいものです（切実w）🦖😂

なにはともあれ、おかえりニコ😘💕🐾🐾

Love how Stephen Stills auditioned to be a Monkee and they were like “um, your hair line is receding :/“ so he was like “I can send my friend Peter, people say we look alike” and then the world’s first puppy boy was introduced to America
