These are tracks recorded for both of their albums “Manassas” and “Down The Road” but that initially were left off the albums. Amazing unreleased material featuring early Manassas versions of later recorded Stills classics like “Sugar Babe” “Word Game” and “Do You Remember The Americans” Review: Superb!!!! - ....I couldn't wait to get my hands on this album (especially when you pre-order, time seems to stand still(s)....)and I wasn't disappointed! Stills has always been my main man when it comes to melodic tunes with a bite and Manassas proved to be an excellent vehicle for his creative prowess. If there is a downside, I only wish that some of the "pieces" where longer in length. What I wouldn't give to hear a five minute version of "Tan Sola Y Triste"!!! Anyway, if you're a Stills fan, do yourself a favor and buy this LP. Like everybody else, I'm looking forward to purchasing that "promised" box set that Nash is putting together for Stills. No doubt there will be a few choice "gems" to surface from the archives. Besides, its way past time to critically reevaluate the Stills canon. Song for song, I think Stephen Stills towers over the likes of an over-hyped Neil Young. Keep em coming, Stephen! Review: Manassas Redeemed - Stills should have been the American Clapton. He certainly had no fewer vices and yet his muse was a fragile thing that would come and go as he engaged in different projects or dissolute directions. His records, then, can be very hit or miss, and by the 90's were largely less than impressive. And that's the tragedy. He had talent to spare and Manassas at its peak was a force to be reckoned with. After a very strong debut, he followed with an overproduced second album, a protean live document and then the brilliant Manassas double CD. Unfortunately, that was followed by Down The Road, as low a point in Stills' canon as there is. PIECES represents sessions engaged between the first record and DTR, and it's a genuine pity that this was not the second album. All of Stills' strengths are on display and none of his weakenesses. DTR followed these sessions and somewhere along the way the songs fell flat and the musicianship got unfocused and Stills' voice sounded like he had spent the weekend yelling at people. It was a mess. This, while not quite Stills 1 or the first Manassas, is a joy start to finish. There are songs you have not heard before, songs that would find life with the Flying Burritos, songs that recapitulated earlier statements from Just Roll Tape and Stills 2, and what results is a well-disciplined band hitting on all its cylinders. This band must have been a powerhouse live, and God willing, Stills has some tape worth releasing that documents just how good both the front line and the rhythm section were in concert. Obviously, in the overly competitive framework of CSNY, this band was a gauntlet thrown at Crazy Horse and the CN back up bands of the time. Crazy Horse was a barely competent gaggle of misfits who could somehow rise above their abilities under the direction of Young and Briggs. CN's group of crack session players had to deal with Crosby's relentless indulgences of a different crack, and over a very short time could no longer rescue him from free fall. Manassas in some ways would not be able to save Stills from himself either, but while they were on, they were mighty. And how can you lose with Chris Hillman, Al Perkins, Joe Lala, Calvin Samuels, et al? As I mentioned, Stills' career would have erratic highs (STILLS, Illegal Stills, Stills Alone, CSN 2) and lows (everything else), but just when you'd be ready to write him off, along comes MAN ALIVE, his very best CD. He readily admits that he isn't sure if he still has it, but perhaps by reviewing his CV he'll find he can rejuvenate his strengths. As a cancer survivor and dedicated Democratic campaigner, Stills has something to say that we all could learn from. While the next CSN CD is purported to be a Richard Rubin covers set, I'd rather have Stills head to the woodshed. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B002JPZ93W | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (149) | | Date First Available | September 6, 2009 | | Label | Rhino Records | | Manufacturer | Rhino Records | | Number of discs | 2 | | Original Release Date | 2010 | | Product Dimensions | 12.44 x 12.32 x 0.31 inches; 1.16 Pounds | ## Images ![Pieces - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71XLn4wb5BL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb!!!! *by G***A on October 8, 2009* ....I couldn't wait to get my hands on this album (especially when you pre-order, time seems to stand still(s)....)and I wasn't disappointed!
