And so begins the task
I have dreaded the coming of for so long
I wait for the sun to remind
My body it needs resting

    This is not from Just Roll Tape. It is from Manassas first album.

    1968?! Stills was still in the Buffalo Springfield in 1968. This is from Manassas in 1971.

    I think the information on this is wrong ... this is not from "Just Roll Tape". This, I think, is the official Manassas version. CSN do this on the new "CSN 2012" DVD. It's a great show - check it out!

    I live in Manassas, VA. The pic on their album was of our civil war era train station.

    Stephen Stills' solo work outshines any of CSN's work

    Murphybeach: This isn't CSN. Stephen Stills put this band - Manassas - together in 1973(1974). He only recorded the one double disc album with the band. It is a very good album.

    Always my fave of CSN...Neil always in a class of his own.

    The "Uknown Album" this song is taken is Manassas and it is one of the few truly great double album discs in Rock history. No filler on any of the 4 sides.
