David Crosby will release his first live album on November 25th.
David Crosby & The Lighthouse Band Live at the Capitol Theatre (in Port Chester, New York) contains 16 songs, including “1974,” a long-lost demo track that Crosby had floating around on his hard drive for decades.
Lighthouse vocalist and guitarist Michael League says, “I found the demo and I listened to it. I fell in love with this and I thought, you know, Crosby should finish this and he said, ‘Man, it’s been sitting on my computer for 40 years, so you know, whatever, sure’. So I sent it to [to my bandmate] Becca Stevens and she was like, ‘Give me a crack at it’. So she came in a couple of days later with four-part harmonies for the entire song, lyrics and we sat down that day and kind of fine-tuned things, and so 44 years after it’s kind of conception a song was born.”
In addition to songs he recorded on two albums with this band, there are such classics as “Guinnevere,” “Carry Me,” “Déjà Vu” and “Woodstock.”
David Crosby & The Lighthouse Band Live at the Capitol Theatre will be available on CD and digitally, with a video of the show on DVD.
