"It Doesn't Matter"

Manassas - "It Doesn't Matter" What another great band of greats: Stephen Stills's Manassas Studio Live in 1972. Stephen Stills; guitar and vocal, Chris Hillman(Byrds/Burrito Brothers); guitar and vocal, Dallas Taylor(CSNY/many others); drums, Paul Harris; keyboards, Joe Lala; percussion, Al Perkins(Leonard Cohen, Gram Parsons,The Rolling Stones,Bob Dylan) ; steel and Calvin "Fuzzy" Samuels(CSNY); bass. I love these live in studio versions cuz it captures the band in a certain vibe you don't find on any others. They almost always seem to be havin' fun(void Tom Verlaine/Richard Hell's clip) and that great synergy happens. It's really like being in rehearsal with 'em.
