Guitar on "Helpless"

Can anyone provide a citation that "Helpless" actually has pedal steel on the recording. Jerry Garcia is credited on the album as playing steel, but not specifically on "Helpless". The steel on "Teach your Children" has a different timbre and playing style to the "electric" sound on "Helpless", which could be Stills playing a standard electric guitar, and using either the volume knob or a volume pedal to obtain the "swell" sound effect. Maybe Garcia only plays on "Teach"?--Design (talk) 06:47, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

For "Helpless", the booklet in the CSN box set credits Stills for "lead guitar", Young for acoustic guitar, and no steel. JoeBrennan (talk) 21:54, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

POV?

This seems really POV, and kind of elitist to boot. Am I alone in thinking this? Mogwit (talk) 00:07, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Can you be more specific as to exactly which sentences? CitiCat ^♫ 17:08, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

The history section makes CSNY sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread. Zazaban (talk) 02:44, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

This is an extremely vague criticism on history section. I cannot see anything that may be needed other than slight expansion and maybe a couple footnotes. The “white bread” perception may be yours, but I do not get that at all. No doubt the band and the album were quite good/popular as reflected in overall album rankings. There is little doubt that CSNY was highly influential during the time period, and the album remains one of their classics. It seems the only item needing support here is the Garcia claim.

There's no doubt DejaVu is one of the most influential and important works in rock and roll and folk/rock history. It's not a matter of musical taste. When this album came out CSNY filled the place the Beatles left behind, they actually were the biggest act in the world. If the history section reflects that, it's only right.Admsh (talk) 03:30, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

There's no doubt your parochial views have led you to this statement. Please get some real global perspective.82.93.10.238 (talk) 17:53, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

See http://www.deaddisc.com/disc/Deja_Vu.htm for citatio re Garcia's input to Deja Vu. (86.156.179.245 (talk) 21:54, 31 August 2008 (UTC))

I second that. I'm looking at the LP and Jerry Garcia is credited specifically for "Teach your Children". No mentioning of anything else.Admsh (talk) 03:30, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't see anything actionable to resolve, so I removed the POV tag. Viriditas (talk) 14:11, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Down, Down, Down

"Down, Down, Down" written by Neil Young was originally recorded by Buffalo Springfield but not released until the Buffalo Springfield (box set), which has two versions of the song. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.32.107.132 (talk) 02:27, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Credits per song

Why were the credits per song were removed on Feb 16 by TXiKiBoT? The comment on the edit is in Japanese. JoeBrennan (talk) 21:54, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

I think the bot just added some Japanese-language link (Japanese Wikipedia?), but it doesn't look like that edit removed info. - Special-T (talk) 00:02, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

George Starostin Review

This reviewer does not seem to be a professional more like his hobby. It probably should be removed.
