There's a bit more interest in this performance for me. Not just musically but visually as well. There's a flippancy to Nash that makes it fun IMO. He does what he does to get that signature high part.

In fairness it's one of those songs that does rely on it's evenness and vocals lining up in favor of a oneness of character. Stills guitar work has a little more happening than Brandi's guitar player, though he is solid.

Agree about the slight sterility, but overall it's a good effort.

When I used to perform that song in a trio back in college (I handled the middle Crosby part), part of what made the song interesting is not so much being "dead-on", but each part having its own character. The blend was what made it cool.
