Questions for America/bass fans

"Tin Man" is one of my favorite songs of all time. However, in the last couple of years, I have really gotten into America in general. I know the three front men, Beckley, Bunnell and Peck, but does anyone know who the bassist was on the Holiday album? I want to try to find more stuff from him. This is the problem of downloads - no liner notes! Some said that he used to play with Neil Young, but I could not verify that.

Thanks for any help. Enjoy!

David Dickey was their studio bassist during that time period, but that's Calvin Samuels in that clip; apparently, Dickey couldn't make the European Tour, so Samuels stepped in:

..and BTW, you're right, he played with Neil Young as well as Crosby Stills, Nash and Young.....
