I'll see your lousy :> ) "If I could only remember my name" and raise you a 
Stephen Stills stinker.  

Funny, I spent $13.99 for Stephen Stills' 1st solo album the other day for 
*just* one track, "Go Back Home", in which Clapton (back before he got so
mellow 
and laid back he disappeared into the woodwork) goes nuts.  

His passion and ferocious  playing on this 6 minute song remind me of Tom's
raga-like 
solo on "1880 Or So" on the official "Television Live At The Academy
12/04/92".    

>From Robert Christgau's (The Village Voice) Consumer Guide Reviews:

If I Could Only Remember My Name [Atlantic, 1971]
This disgraceful performance inspires the first Consumer Guide Competition. 
The test: Rename David Crosby (he won't know the difference). The prize: One
Byrds 
LP of your choice (he ought to know the difference). The catch: You have to
beat 
my entries. Which are: Rocky Muzak, Roger Crosby, Vaughan Monroe. D-

Stephen Stills [Atlantic, 1970]
Stills always projects an effortless swing, and his tradeoffs with Eric
Clapton on 
"Go Back Home" are keen and then some. He seems too damn skillful to put
down. Yet 
there's something terribly undefined about this record. Hmm--maybe it's the
songs. C+
