Stephen Stills concert chronology

The Stephen Stills Manassas North American Tour 1973 was a concert tour by American musician Stephen Stills and his band Manassas. It was in support of their 1973 album Down the Road. Manassas released the album Down the Road in April 1973, it was less well received than their debut, with many of the recording sessions for it being disjointed. This resulted in the cancellation of a few dates of the first leg of the tour. The first show back was recorded for the ABC in Concert TV series, during which Stills remarked that he hadn't played with the band since before Christmas. Unsurprisingly this show wasn't very well received. CSNY reunited to record an aborted album in June–July 1973 further complicating the tour. However CSN and CSNY reunited at the October Winterland Arena shows which planted the seeds for the CSNY 1974 reunion tour. It was during this second leg of the tour that John Barbata filled in for Dallas Taylor on the drums for one show due to his drug addiction and Kenny Passarelli filled in for George "Chocolate" Perry on bass due to prior commitments.
