And another D45 that Stills gave him later that had a very funny story attached to it. He brought his White Falcon and 2 tweed Deluxes to play it through. And, most amazing to me - he brought FOUR keyboards: his 1870 grand piano, a baby grand, an upright piano, and his pump organ. These are the instruments that he played on all his records over the decades; and he played them all that night. As he picked up each instrument, he told a story about it before he played the song. It was surreal, and cool beyond words.
I now feel a little ridiculous for leaving my Martins at home when I have a gig, and playing the Yamaha.

Great that Neil brings his guitars with him.
What Martins do you have that you leave at home?
