instrumentation on CSNY version

anyone know who plays the intro riff (as well as the solo) on CSNY's version? I assume it's Neil Young, but i've listened to it so many times, i can't objectively analyze the style. --Alcuin 21:52, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is the origin story correct?

Is the story of the song's genesis correct? I don't doubt that Mitchell was not at Woodstock, but my perhaps imperfect recollection is that she performed the song - stunningly - on the Cavett Show in question. (I am more certain that Cavett devoted an entire show to examining the phenomenon of Woodstock, more or less immmediately after it happened - for much if not all of the program, Cavett and his guests sat directly on the set platforms, rather than on the customary chairs.) So perhaps the chronology, or the key detail of what Mitchell was watching, is incorrect? MIchael 09:56, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stardust - Star Stuff

Don't see the relevance of the Carl Sagan reference - he calls us "Star Stuff", Mitchell calls us "stardust". Both are perfectly correct but different ways of putting across the same (apparently poetic but literally true) fact, but what is the connection supposed to be? Sagan did not learn his cosmology from Mitchell; she might have learnt hers from him but, even if so, so what? 88.104.31.128 (talk) 12:44, 29 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
