Stills's performances with Crosby and Nash in late 1976 and early 1977 led to the permanent reunion of Crosby, Stills, and Nash. They released the ''[[CSN (album)|CSN]]'' album in 1977 and unsuccessfully attempted another album in 1978. The band toured major arenas including Madison Square Garden and the LA Forum in 1977 and 1978, and during the 1977 tour they visited President Jimmy Carter in the White House. Stills released his final album on Columbia Records entitled ''[[Thoroughfare Gap]]'' in October 1978. It was comparatively unsuccessful and reached number 84 on the US charts. In 1977 and 1978, Stills played only one solo engagement, at the Bread and Roses Festival in 1978.

After a four-day residency at the Roxy in January 1979 with original CSN bandmate Dallas Taylor on drums, Stills spent most of 1979 on tour in the US playing with his California Blues Band. One of these dates in early 1979 included a trip to [[Cuba]] to participate in the [[Havana Jam]] festival that took place between March 2 and 4, alongside [[Weather Report]], the [[Trio of Doom]], [[Fania All-Stars]], [[Billy Swan]], [[Bonnie Bramlett]], [[Mike Finnigan]], [[Kris Kristofferson]], [[Rita Coolidge]] and [[Billy Joel]], as well as an array of Cuban artists such as [[Irakere]], with whom he toured the US after the Havana concerts. His performance is captured on Ernesto Juan Castellanos's documentary ''Havana Jam '79''.

In 1979, Stills recorded one of the first entirely digital albums;<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Music/Archive-Billboard-IDX/IDX/70s/1979/Billboard%201979-02-24-OCR-Page-0041.pdf |title=Sound Business |website=Americanradiohistory.com |access-date=2018-12-17}}</ref> however, it remains unreleased, as the record company did not feel it was commercial enough.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NRB6NnYW7_IC&q=csn+dave+zimmer|title=Crosby, Stills & Nash: The Biography|last=Zimmer|first=Dave|date=2008-09-23|publisher=Da Capo Press|isbn=9780786726110}}</ref> The songs recorded for this album include "Spanish Suite" and "Cuba al Fin" and the 1982 CSN hit "Southern Cross". The album was produced by [[Barry Beckett]] and was slated for release in 1979 or 1980.

CSN played only two dates in 1979, both at Madison Square Garden for Musicians United for Safe Energy. Their performance was released on ''[[No Nukes: The Muse Concerts for a Non-Nuclear Future|The Muse Concerts for a Non-Nuclear Future]].''

In 1979, Stills's wife filed for divorce, which was finalized on July 12, 1980.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Google Translate|url=https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=fr&u=http://harmonies-v-sanson.blogspot.com/1974/&prev=search|access-date=2020-06-18|website=translate.google.com}}</ref>
