<P> In early 1976, Stills and Young reached a rapprochement, and began to work on a joint album project from a desire by both to pick up where they left off with their Buffalo Springfield - era guitar explorations, a decade after the inception of the band . Crosby and Nash signed on as well, and briefly Long May You Run looked to be the awaited CSNY reunion album . However, on a deadline Nash and Crosby left Miami to finish the sessions for what would become their 1976 album Whistling Down the Wire, and Young and Stills reacted by removing the duo's vocals and other contributions from the master tapes . Crosby and Nash vowed never to work with either again, although less than a year later they would regroup with Stills for a new CSN album in 1977 . </P> <P> The Stills - Young Band, comprising Stills' current touring band behind the pair, began a tour in 1976 prior to the album's release . The tour commenced in Clarkston, Michigan on June 23, but after nine dates Young dropped out after July 18 via a telegram to Stills, forcing Stills to complete the concert tour solo through October . The telegram read: "Dear Stephen, funny how some things that start spontaneously end that way . Eat a peach . Neil ." Young would later cite cryptic personal reasons for his departure, namely that the tour "wasn't working" and that the "balance was off in some way" as it progressed . </P> <P> The album's advance single, "Long May You Run", peaked at #71 on the UK singles chart . The song was an elegy for Neil Young's first car (which he nicknamed "Mort"), a 1948 Buick Roadmaster hearse that died in 1965 when its transmission blew in Blind River, Ontario . Mort was a different vehicle from the 1953 Pontiac hearse, nicknamed Mort 2, that Richie Furay, traveling with Stills, saw Young driving in a Hollywood traffic jam in 1966 that led to the formation of Buffalo Springfield . "Long May You Run" was performed by Young on the final broadcast of The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien on January 22, 2010, and during the closing ceremonies for the Vancouver Olympics on February 28, 2010 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> No . </Th> <Th> Title </Th> <Th> Writer (s) </Th> <Th> Length </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1 . </Td> <Td> "Long May You Run" </Td> <Td> Neil Young </Td> <Td> 3: 53 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2 . </Td> <Td> "Make Love to You" </Td> <Td> Stephen Stills </Td> <Td> 5: 10 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 3 . </Td> <Td> "Midnight on the Bay" </Td> <Td> Neil Young </Td> <Td> 3: 59 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 4 . </Td> <Td> "Black Coral" </Td> <Td> Stephen Stills </Td> <Td> 4: 41 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 5 . </Td> <Td> "Ocean Girl" </Td> <Td> Neil Young </Td> <Td> 3: 19 </Td> </Tr> </Table>
