Manassas was an American rock band, formed by Stephen Stills in 1971. The nucleus of the band had already backed Stills on his July 1971 album, Stephen Stills 2, and in May 1972, the double album, Manassas, was released. Down The Road was released in 1973, but in October of that year the band split up. This occurred just after Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were re-united on stage, during a Manassas concert at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom.
Passarelli and Lala went to Stills' backing band. Harris, Perkins and Hillman joined the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band.
Manassas is the 1972 debut double album from Stephen Stills' band of the same name.
"It Doesn't Matter" was released as a single and peaked at #61. Bill Wyman of the Rolling Stones plays bass on and co-authored "The Love Gangster" and is reported to have said that he would have left the Stones to join Manassas.
Manassas would mark somewhat of a critical comeback for Stills with Allmusic going so far as to call it a "sprawling masterpiece". Even Rolling Stone in a joint review with the Graham Nash/David Crosby album, said "it's reassuring to know that Stills has some good music still inside him".
The album debuted on the Billboard Top LP's chart for the week ending April 29, 1972 and eventually peaked at #4 in June. Interestingly, Stills' album shared the Top 10 with an album by David Crosby and Graham Nash (Graham Nash/David Crosby) and an album by Neil Young (Harvest), all collectively members of the quartet Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
