Many of my classic rock interviews have subsequently been used in DVDs and feature films, but never more prominently than these conversations with The Byrds Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, and Chris Hillman in the two-part rock documentary now running on Epix called “Laurel Canyon” .
The Band’s sublime third effort, “Stage Fright” , released in August 1970, went Top 5 and sold over a million copies.

Aerosmith “Rocks”. It was a definitive statement in Summer 1976 with no equivocation.
