RIP, David Crosby, thank you for your music and being in my life and others around the world. The amount of music that these 3 have made is tremendous. peace and love everyone
The boss and the glue was the musical genius Stills- hands down. Nash was the interactive “conscience” of the group.
The story about the teens holding up their radios is awesome !
My memories that I’ll take to my grave will include your three names! Thanks to all involved in making it work
I wish i could tell CSN&Y how much they meant to me during 1969 -1973. My generation found truth, love & peace and my generation was all in unison with a philosophy & wanted a better world. It's still here in me & all those who shared a global consciousness! I was 18 when the Hippie revolution hit. I'm 75 now & still am the same! :)
Ditto fellow traveller ;-)
Love their arguments it makes them real. Wonderful interview thanks for posting!
All three guys signed my box set DVDs back in like 1996 (or 1997) in Atlantic City. They were all very gracious. Jeff Pevar, James Raymond - also amazing people.
a really good interview. Not too many rock celebrities could carry on a conversation like this.
They have a lot to talk about.
They like the attention. 😳
I Love Listening To Them Tell Different Stories, They're Interesting People, With ALOT Of History, AND The Bond They Share Is Priceless!!!
I remember when I was 15 playing their first album on my Dad's old Garrard record player. Their music was groundbreaking and can't be labelled with any genre. Little did they know they would become living legends.
I have always tended to think of Stephen as the heart of this group, probably due to his musical abilities I think. However, David and Graham really articulate the strengths and direction of their music in the best possible fashion.
Malheureusement David Crosby nous a quitté. Un homme talentueux et hallucinant. Un de mes héros! Repose en paix Croz❤.
These men were heroes of my generation, and would be much more if not for aging. Wisdom comes with age cut short without pity, not withstanding the historical insights that nature might provide in a longer healthy life we should all promote. CSN delivered; should we never forget?
SIMKINETICS; "Wisdom comes with age, cut short without pity" That is extremely pithy and all too correct. Where/who did the quote come from?
Such special great people so different but so special together csn forever
This was a beautiful forum..rip n God bless them all..as a young girl ..I heard n I listened....I'm still studying n Croz speak s to me in spirit amen!!❤we are all connected around the world 🌎🌍
@GrahamNash-xx8fh Hello..you are very welcome!! Many years..I heard your music growing up all the way til now so a good 50 year s +....Croz said you were the only one that could sing Genivere with him..I would like to see you again in concert 🎵🎶👍
I was lucky to see them live..I also saw Neil Young live
What an out of my seat exciting interview... the audience comments were fantastic...So happy your still writing, performing , creating such great artistry...Such Talent🎶🎵
Crosby is criticized by the public and band mates , I am sure he burnt a lot of bridges. On the other hand he has come to a place in his life where he is comfortable in his own skin and honest, pointing out his own faults which is refreshing.
Hes an a**hole
David is a really good and generous human being.
He has had great problems and made huge mistakes, but I think he has had the greatest personal growth of the three of them.
@@sammyscotch9945 you think that because he is judgemental? If so, look in the mirror based upon your statement.
@@jeffwisener1378 At least he admits it ,and most assholes dont.He is actually a very smart man ,and he made alot of mistakes anyway...he knows hes an asshole better than anyone else.
Yup, I understand exactly what Crosby is saying about time, there is never enough.
These guys are running out of time
Love these guys so much...
Wonderful !!! I Love YOU Guys. I grew up with you guy's
I Love The Fact That They Are So Approachable, The More I Listen To Them Speak, As Well As Their Music, The More I Love Them As Human Beings As Well As Musicians...
I hope they watch this interview repeatedly.
WE NEED YOUR MUSIC NOW AS BEFORE. Please. 💘✌✌✌
Croz was always my favorite musician. I loved him more when he would not get along well with others.
Thank you!! My ❤ is warmed, just knowing this interview exists!! These guys are a crack up in addition to making millions of people so happy by sharing their unique gifts! I couldn't LIVE without this music!! Peace, all
@GrahamNash-xx8fh Since a very young age in the 60's!!!! I don't remember life without your music and I feel so blessed that it fills my soul❤❤ Bought your book & look forward to reading it!!🧜♀️
@GrahamNash-xx8fh I lived (still do )in a Beach Community not too far from Laurel Canyon L.A. so I literally felt that magic even though I was so young at the time I just can't explain it all I can do is say God bless and THANK YOU, Graham Nash, we love you!!!!
@GrahamNash-xx8fh At the beach!
@GrahamNash-xx8fh Beautiful! Do you still live in L.A.?
@GrahamNash-xx8fh Not at all.
I wish I'd watched this before trying to get Crosby's autograph having easily got Nash and Stills when they toured the UK. Stood outside for 2 hours after the show and when he came out I held out my copy of his first solo album and he just shrugged past me: "Sorry man. I don't sign." I have bought every single note of any music he has ever released and I was gutted. He did apologise to me on Twitter later. I suggested he should ask questions like: "What film did my Dad win an Oscar for?" [Tabu] or "What was the first folk group I joined?" [Les Baxter's Balladeers ] that only true fans would know.
I always loved Crosbys work the best, due to the jazz he infused into his sounds and the incredible scat singing he did with Nash, it was far above and beyond the usual folk and rock stuff. However I met him, outside a venue, we couldn't move the traffic out was so bad, we parked, went behind the hall and had a smoke, where we found Stills doing the same, he came over, there was just me and a friend, he asked for a cig, he left his pack in the tour bus, so we chatted about all sorts of stuff, he was such a nice friendly gentleman, then from the bus appears Crosby, marches over obviously cranky about something, I said hi David, he said fuck off, and then shouted at stills "I need you in the bus now!!! we walked off, they walked off it was a horrible end to a beautiful night....
I saw them sev times, David was such a presence...
Nash has always been the glue that held these guys together. Not the greatest song writer or player in the bunch but the one who kept it all together and as long as he is mad at Crosby this band will never play again.
I could be mistaken but I think I heard Nash starting to crack as far as his not wanting to reunite with the band yeah I think I heard him insinuate that there is a chance so yeah I think it's a good way to develop more of a desire for the public to really want to buy tickets I mean sounds like good promo bait to me anyway
He was the one to write and sing Marekesh Express in 1968 that went into being the #1 song on the charts.
@@lisamoroney3036 his album for beginners is really good. All good songs
@@lastnamefirst4035 yes . I am aware of that!
I would never buy a ticket to see Nash on his own because between the (great) songs, he nauseates with his endless preaching. 😳
I just want to say that I’m interested in Crosby Stills, Nash an Young ? Back one more time!
As off right now,Nash And Crosby are in a Hate fest and are not talking,so i wouldn't hold my breath.
Stephen seems to be a history buff. Mentioning the Battle of Hastings.
RIP David. Till 4 years my sailboat named...CROZ
David Crosby was always accused of bad-mouthing everyone and saying things that pissed everybody off but in most interviews he seems like the diplomat of the band.
Great interview!! Thanks ❤
They so smoothly coordinate talents. Glad they brought in Graham from England. His high vocal tones balance out the 2 other guys. These 3 peaked from about 1969 to the early 1980s. Moods of the times mirrored their creations. Love 'em! * Cav *
Crosby’s voice, high tenor, makes me cry and thrill simultaneously ❤❤❤
I grew up with a friend like a brother, together we went target shooting, fishing and backpacking, sang together in the High School choir, played CB radio (I was on his roof putting up a new antenna more times than I can recall) went mountain biking, shared stereo gear, sports cars, Thai dinners, LPs, CDs, cigars and joints.
- He recalls a lot of things correctly - *_except for the memories from his drinking years,_* then he gets all sorts of things twisted & confused while thinking he's dead-on accurate.
Its so sad to see the love they have for eachother here and to hear them toward the end
I Love them all.I first heard them at 6 yrs old.Im 56 now.Love them all more today.
Great interview as always great anecdotes! Steven seemed like he had a few too many cocktails in the "green room". Also he seemed to have a problem getting used to his new teeth whether they be false or implants. Crosby was the most well spoken. I have loved all three 45 years!
Steven has a hearing problem so it sounds as though he had a few but that is his speech a hearing condition since childhood.
He's deaf in one year and partially deaf in the other.
love cannot die if you open up your eyes and sail inside your mind with your sails set on high, love can fly like you would fly on your flying horse, with wings open wide, love should be there to open your sky up wide, and pure love will endure if you. are sure that you want pure love, pure love should embrace the whole population of mother earth, imagine how that would be, if pure love could be achieved!
Stills giving the interviewer grief for squeezing his hand to hard by saying “it’s not a contest, oww!” Nice way to set the tone for the evening 😆
One band, I would love to see live. I got to see Neil when he did Hyde Park, London
I think I would have traded to see Neil Young doing solo from let's say the mid 70s then seeing CSN and why
@@arlenmargolin1650 Glad to have seen both. CSN 3 times. Neil once.
Stills so underrated ..
RIP David ☮💔😢
A special for steven,graham, david. crosby stills and nash a tribute,IF LOVE WAS FOR SALE, LOVE WOULD BE A GOOD BUY, IF LOVE WAS FOR SALE, EVERYONE WOULD WANT TO BUY PURE LOVE! BUT PURE LOVE IS NOT FOR SALE, AND IT MAKES ME CRY! MY ONE REGRET IN LIFE IS THAT PURE LOVE IS NOT FOR SALE, BECAUSE LOVE HAS A WAY ALL TO OFTEN , OF FLYING AWAY, AND THAT'S NOT OK, SO TAKE ALL THE LOVE THAT YOU CAN GET AND TREASURE WHAT YOU'VE GOT, FOR THE TIME YOU'VE GOT LEFT CUS YOU HAVEN'T GOT A SECOND TIME AROUND! TREASURE THE LOVE THAT FLOWS OVER YOU, THE LOVE THAT SAILS YOUR WAY, THE LOVE THAT YOU COULD MAKE' IF YOU COULD ONLY OPEN UP TO LOVE GRAHAM YOU SAID YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHAT PEOPLE THINK , WELL THIS IS A PART OF WHAT I THINK, AMONG MANY MANY UNPUBLISHED THINGS THAT I WRITE! IM GLAD I COULD WRITE A TRIBUTE TO YOU THREE! THANKS FOR LETTING ME HAVE MY SAY ! THE MUSIC IS FABULOUS THAT OF CROSBY STILLS AND NASH!
they are talking about Napster! i really feel old all of the sudden...love CSN anyways:)
A musician in LA stayed at Crosby's home, and at that time he took in a homeless man; she didn't care what negative things others thought about him.
In case anyone is curious/wondering/interested, the song someone asks them about that they can't recall is called "Chuck's Lament", from a 1987 movie called Amazing Grace & Chuck. It's absolutely beautiful and you can hear it here: czcams.com/video/V_GO3NqWRmw/video.html
I learned everything about NYC in the 1970s from watching Good Times! Especially what it was like in the ghet-to! 😂
❤ thank you ❤😊
you 3 may never hear my words , CSN. I ONLY WISH YOU COULD , BUT I CAN IMAGINE CANT I ! BY FOR NOW!
33:00 Oh Graham.....if it was only true now. WE love you guys very much.
I met all three of them in 2004.I got backstage passes BC my counselor who brought me knew their roadie from going to Woodstock 69 with him and I got all of their autographs and they briefly took the time and effort to walk over to my shy self sitting at a table after the show and shake my hand and sign my sticker.. wish I kept that sticker but I lost it in the following years
Look up the words LEGEND and GENIUNE in the dictionary. There you will see a picture of CSN.
I think more people than not would love to see a CSN show with NO hits whatsoever. At least I would.
32:49
😂😂 too late now sadly.
A recent CBS interview was quite different. They had to be interviewed separately. Very bad blood between Crosby and Nash.
Not Crosby’s choice. But no surprise, from Nash.
The world is a better place because of CSN.I heard them first is 1978 as a kid.I still listen to them..I cannot not listen the CSN after a doobie..😁
Stills and Nash are so aggro. Crosby stays cool.
Crosby, Stills & Nash - in that order !!
jb Yesterday : Can't ever forget OR replace Neil Young. He just beats to a different drummer or muse I should say. The Three can't be beaten but the four together are off the charts as well out of this world. TRUTH !!! MY own opinion.
three greats
Wow Crosby seems to look way different in more current videos his face is changing of course whose isn't as we age
We all look different as we age, dumbass
They're all very good but I never realized that Stephen stills had such a good voice too
Seriously?
❤️
Between them they have about 900 songs...the honeymoon is over for CSN...Graham Nash has re-invented himself, moved to NY and remarried (2019).This on the heels of his book and now a new album...his heart is wide open now and he examines the effects of it all with his lyrics. He's been asked often recently about the current rift with David. Won't discuss it but possibly he's feeling the "so much love wasted on the way" right now on a man he called brother and friend, jus' sayin'...
Yo quando sea grande quiero ser como Stills......
I couldn't believed that Stephen is very much intimidated to Joni.
And the Eagle flies with the Dove
W climate change might not be many eagles and doves left😀
💘✊✌
I can't believe Stephen said that he's very much intimidated to Joni.
Love 'em, saw them in 2004, learned much from them on harmony...but these are 3 self-absorbed guys, who are WAY too convinced of their importance in this world
Au contraire mon ami...
I don't think that applies to Crosby and Stills...they both know they made music that was important to lots of people, but it's only Nash who seems to want to point that out and underline it over and over again.
Graham's ego is soooooo gigantic, I'm surprised his head doesn't explode. And this was before he dumped his wife of 36 years and took up with a joni look-alike waif half his age. I can't stand his latest solo effort, pure drivel imho; waif, now wife, took the cover photo.
App not available in my country.....
They pretty stilted and their differences personally seemed to have made them seperate, but they can still sing great. Nash is coming across a bit angry though
Nash is a bitter angry old man
NASH IS FULL OF HIMSELF.@@sammyscotch9945
If you're watching this and under the age of 30 then God bless you. 😁
Ps- SS was drunk. It was at Joni's house. Lol.
Love their harmonies but their iconic status was assured when they added an edge to their repertoire in the personage of Neil Young.
Neil Young’s awesome 👏
You're with yourself all the time so you better,LOVE THE 1 YOU'RE WITH😘😂Right on,eh?Then you're with the mother,earth,then thy father who's within you,eh?Eh!?🇺🇸👊
He was the best ever

@@dannyholmes2801 Thanx!
@@sharonramone7186 👍🏻
Nash has got a lot to say hasn't he.
He is a very intelligent and articulate man and he has done a lot of work with the old tapes and the history of the group.
I'd let an uber producer like Rick Rubin or Glyn John's wrangle their attitudes and get them to put out a end message LP essentially out muscle them lol Stephen is playing great and Croz is writing again.
They worked with Rubin and were going to make an album of covers. It was to be called "songs we wish we wrote". The band wanted to have a couple Beatle songs on it but Rubin only wanted one.
The project led to a disagreement between Rubin and CSN that it didn't work out.
They continued without Rubin, but ultimately it didn't work. The several songs they did work on are in the Sony vault. Hopefully one day it'll come out.
Now they don’t talk to each other anymore. Lol.
Before the flood human beings had hundreds of years to live on the earth. (Much more than two hundred years). After the flood our time was cut short drastically.
anyone know when this interview took place?

Time ......the old enemy.
Check out from 32:50-33:00 And 43:05-43:10 😢 It's such a tragedy that Graham has decided never to forgive David, ever. The whole story of their falling-out is awful. Complicated. Only a situation that two people who have loved each other fiercely, supported each other unconditionally, and harmonized so magically can sadly be in.
Nash was a great part of the trio but, personally, the least liked. He has an arrogant attitude that grates, at times.
41:36 lmaoo look at croz
I’m so upset about the riff between Graham and David! It’s very sad because according to Graham, he will not talk to or perform with David again!
Nash is the diva in the room. No surprise at his attitude. But he is correct in his comments about autographs. Crosby is (literally, now) dead wrong and sounds like a miserly 🦨.
3 antique relics.I love the guitar four feet in front of Crosbys stomach.

Yes we need whistleblowers.
53 years. You’ve touched so many lives. Still listen and am grateful for the thoughtfulness, playfulness and companionship of your universal anthems throughout my life.
I'm convinced, mostly by Nash whom is one of the most honest people on earth, I'm convinced that Crosby did a lot of $hit stirring up that led to a lot of arguments and tearing apart of the band....
From the first album until he cleaned up, It was the Croz's drug use (and denial of it for FAR too many years) - as well as Stills's mammoth ego - that created most of the turmoil. Then there was Neil Young -- an unquestioned musical genius, but nearly wholly unreliable as a bandmate. 😩 ☺️
You're correct though about the last 10 years or so, until Croz's passing last year: His scathing criticism of Daryl Hannah, and Young's decision to marry her, seemed to be a sad, final breaking point for the band. 😢
Some things are better left unsaid, certainly after you've been through so many "wars" (good & bad times) with people you claim to love. I found it interesting that, to my knowledge, Croz _didn't_ similarly lambast Nash for doing exactly what Young did (at least not publicly).
RIP Croz 🙏🏻💛, and here's to hoping that Graham & Stephen get at least one more collaborative project in, before they hang up their guitars for good.
♥️🙏👏✌️🦋
Wow these guys really saw the world thru similar specs ... i think they have too high a degree of scepticism for me , tho i love them very much .... if u watch the dvd box set of monteray festival 1967 ... crosby gives a tirade about JFK being assassinated by CIA which i still think is a little far fatched but god bless them... hope they can patch up their differences
If anyone know's who killed JFK, I'd believe Croz 100%!

Howard: Graham +You ~Feel like you guys are almost brothers. CROZ: Well, i did too. It came as a kinda shock to me. He blew it pretty badly with me, man. He said a bunch of really awful stuff (Howard: book {Wild Tales**}) “David Crosby Doubts CSN&Y Will Ever Reconcile”**Croz calls Graham’s memoir Wild Tales “shallow” and “very self-serving” and is one of the reasons behind their feud started in 2014.

Best of David Crosby! - czcams.com/video/CAU7oA1a6v8/video.html
I understand they have broken up due to fueding. and now are going to go solo. that rarely is successful. not that they need the money I'm sure.
John Jarou-- If you knew their history, this is a cycle-- the un-trioing, duoing, going solo, and playing with other people. It's the artist's journey. These guys have been a part of each other's life in a big way for over 50 years. How many of us can say that about our friends? They are successful and they don't need the money. True musicians that they are, they will be writing songs in their head and, singing and performing til they breathe their last breath on earth.
Nash seems a bit defensive,and chip-on-shoulder-ish?
He's always come across that way
Let's give him an attitude adjustment
Yeah but can't you hear him asking those tough questions in his songs? Graham said it best, ''We are your voice.''
Because he was by far the lesser of the trio
@@Golfstar17 Why do you say that Jonathan? Graham spent years, starting in the early 2000's going through all the CS&N catalogs, then Crosby's & Stills solo catalogs so he could build a master collection of all their music, then produced the Digital Re-Mastered Box Sets for each of them. Crosby's, Stills & his own. That's about 1,000 songs that I've heard of. So he was pretty busy doing that, plus still touring, writing new material & producing everything. I just think he keeps to himself, plus doing a lot of studio production work sorta leads me to think he does the most work out of CS&N.
Not just America, Nash - dont forget China
Graham Nash is showing his butt and has a lot of "know it all B S" about him.
David is going to be 80 years old. If they want to make any more CSN music,
they had better forgive David for whatever they still hold against him, speaking
mainly of Neil and Graham. Life is short. If David dies, they will ALL be very sorry.
my thought exactly...Croz has apologized ad nauseum...
Too late now 🎸
One of my absolute favorite bands since they came out! Stephen Stills, out of the three, is the best, in my opinion. He wrote the best lyrics, best music and kept his mouth shut. He also didn’t live a life of debauchery like Crosby, and doesn’t pontificate & wax philosophical on everything, Iike Graham Nash does, ad nauseam. Neil is just awesome! Stills and Young, the best two. Graham Nash, and I believe Crosby has the least amount of talent out of all of them. That’s not to say I don’t like any of his songs. I do!
Surely Nash is the least significant no? Crosby is iconic.
@@marcusbradley4399 Crosby is iconic to the 5% who like to give the middle finger to society, cordiality, humility and politeness. So yeah he has that rebel patina on him while Nash took the more conventional route. But those of us from that era grew out of the Crosby mentality when, well, when we grew up. Musically Crosby is a jazz-man, avant grade mad scientist. Nash is a hit maker. Different strokes for different folks. But Crosby could literally disappear from CSN and you wouldnt miss him. He barely played on the Daylight Again album because he was so out of his mind and they used session vocalists. You love Southern Cross? He didn’t sing on it. I think that makes Nash more “significant”
@@edd2771 I think Nash also had the ‘middle finger to society’ mentality. Crosby was more vocal about it. And I think you do miss David on Daylight again. His one song on that album is arguably the best. And when you look at their solo careers it’s obvious that Crosby was on another level in comparison to Nash. Nash was good for sure. But not as good as CS or Y.
@@marcusbradley4399 Delta is a good song. They dug it out of archives and included it to make the album plausibly a CSN album. It’s a good song whose inclusion makes my point. Name one interview where Nash spouted Crosby-like vitriol such as Crosby saying “i stand up for what the hells angles did at Altamont “ or Neil young’s wife is purely poisonous predator. Doesn’t exist. Not even close. If you prefer Crosby as a solo artist that’s great. If you prefer him as a human being, I fail to understand.
You have poor taste, and are clueless as to songwriting, to make such a dopey comment
