Liner Notes:
Disc One (electric)
1. Black Queen - Stills-Young Band - Boston - 1976
"This is a song about a card game."
June 26, 1976 - Boston Garden - A Stills original released in 1970 on
the Atlantic LP "Stephen Stills", his first solo effort, as an acoustic
song. The acoustic version that was released was actually a demo, Stills
had envisioned the song in an electric arrangement, but it was decided
that the demo was right for the LP. Performed here by the Stills-Young
band, the song was a constant in the setlists of the eighteen shows
played on that short-lived tour.
