David Crosby isn't necessarily ruling out performing live again. He and his Lighthouse Band are receiving great reviews for the new concert set, Live At The Capitol Theatre. Back in May, the now 81-year-old Crosby publicly stated he was quitting the road due to his age and his lack of stamina.
During a new chat with Ultimate Classic Rock, Crosby backtracked a bit, saying, “It's possible that I could teach my guitar parts to somebody else. I can't play well enough anymore. I've got tendonitis in both hands. I can't play well enough for my standards on stage. I could probably get away with it and you'd probably like it, but it’s not good enough for me. It's possible I might do a residency some place. We'll see. . . I miss it really badly. I love playing live.”
Regarding his connection to the younger players in the Lighthouse Band, he said, “Y'know, in your lifetime, man, you could try a lot of times to put a group of people together in a room and make music. Every once in a while, it will be magical. That's when there's a chemistry going on in there. This one was definitely one of those. It was like the last night of a tour and we had done really well. We'd polished ourselves up to where we were very confident and very happy. You can hear it in our voices. We're just extremely joyful and really into it. It's rare that you get that kind of thing recorded, but we did and we're lucky.”
