Crosby Stills and Nash - Just a Song Before I Go
"Just a Song Before I Go" is a song from Crosby, Stills and Nash that appeared on the 1977 album CSN. It was also released as a single and made it to number seven on the Billboard singles charts and ended up being the band's highest climbing hit.
The song was written by Graham Nash about leaving loved ones behind before going on a concert tour. It was written in Hawaii in about 20 minutes at the piano while Nash and Leslie Morris were staying with a friend, waiting for the rain to stop before leaving the house. The opening line came from the question: "You've got half an hour, why don't you just write a song before you go?" [1]
"Just a Song Before I Go" is lyrically straightforward about the situation Nash was in at the moment he wrote it, and there is also an undercurrent of regret towards rootlessness, a feeling that Nash — born and raised in England, a resident of the United States who had lived in California and was now living in Hawaii — might very well have had at the time.
Crosby, Stills and Nash arranged "Just a Song Before I Go" as a straight ballad, with mostly acoustic textures anchored by two tasteful, understated electric guitar solos from Stephen Stills.
I think this video clip was taken from the CSN Acoustic Concert.

Jackson Browne - The Load Out Stay (Live 1978)
WIKIPEDIA
"The Load-Out" is a song by Jackson Browne from his 1977 album Running on Empty. It is a tribute to his roadies and fans. The song was recorded live atMerriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.
"The Load-Out" describes the daily practices of a band and its road crew on a concert tour, and the emotions evoked throughout such an endeavor. The first three verses of the song consists of Browne singing and playing piano with David Lindley playing steel guitar. They are later joined by a synthesizer, followed by the rest of the band. Eventually "The Load-Out" segues into a fitting interpretation of Maurice Williams' 1960 hit "Stay," sung by Browne,Rosemary Butler and Lindley.
Many radio stations played "The Load-Out" and "Stay" together as a medley and although it wasn't released as a single, "The Load-Out" charted as a tag-along to "Stay" on the singles charts based on airplay.

Doobie Brothers - Black Water LIVE
A famous line from this song "I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland, pretty mama come and take me by the hand". This song typifies the kind of rock in that era.... there is no single sound format!!! . . . . unlike today where everybody sounds alike.

ERIC CLAPTON LIVE BELL BOTTOM BLUES
In his concert One more car, one more rider concert in 2002, EC made a beautiful rendetion of this song. With him in that concert was Steve Gadd, Nathan East and Billy Preston among others. Unfortunately, the embed code won't allow reposting of the video. Just the same, this is also a great performance (1973) from the slow hand Eric Clapton.
