Walking home from 3rd grade after school I found the Neil Young Harvest album in someones curb trash pickup . Went home an told my mom what I found . Mom was completely blind but told me to put it on the console stereo turntable . The record was badly scratched but we didnt care , we played it over an over . Christmas that year santa left me that album under the tree , thanks santa lol . That was 50 yrs. ago . Great memory , thanks mom . RIP
Harvest was also my entry in to their world. My older brother had bought the album. He would rarely let me touch his stuff, so I would ask him play it...😅
Neil certainly added something special to CSNY. I have a vivid, lifelong memory of a particular Neil song that was included in the sound track of the movie, "The Strawberry Statement", which was about the student protests at Columbia University. I think it was back in '71. Somewhere In the movie, after some scenes of action and conflict, the visual goes to a night scene of the sky, with Neil's voice lamenting: "Big birds flying across the sky, throwing shadows on our eyes, leave us helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless." Neil certainly was not helpless, but he surely helped us, at that cinematic moment, to express our frustration in trying to end the war in Vietnam.
Thanks to guys like Earle Bailey, you hear quite a bit of Manassas on Sirius/XM's Deep Tracks.... Dude always plays great stuff, since his days on WMMR in Philly. 🚬😎👍
Great film, please do the follow up. Complicated man is Neil Young. I saw him at Hammersmith, it was epic, he played an hour of solo acoustic, then two hours of electric with the band, an incredible night.
Somebody else suggested this, but I think it's worth repeating. In his heart Neil is a soloist first, who uses bands when they suit his purposes. Stephen is a collaborator with extraordinary technical chops. He seems to relish working with others and doing whatever is needed, whether it's taking charge or filling gaps.
Well, 7 days since your posting,I feel fortunate to have this show up on my YT feed. I really appreciate your presentation of this music history. Whenever you have a group of people working together,people are going to bang heads. Friends,family,the job,etc. At best it will eventually disintegrate to a status quo, so as to maintain some level of function,as necessary. Water seeks it own level. Just human nature,as I see it. Talented,unique individuals,in unique situations,at a moment in time. The ebb and flow,and the beauty created,if but for a moment... Think of The Beatles,The Kinks,Cream,CSNY,Grand Funk Railroad,Greg Allman/Dickey Betts,... How many times did Janis Joplin,Jimi Hendrix,Bob Dylan,Joni Mitchell,Miles Davis, and Neil Young,switch gears,and follow their vision? Why continue with a situation,that is untenable? Or boring? The list goes on,and on,and on,does it not? We all "gotta do,what we gotta do". They all touched our lives,forever...? I'm a big Neil Young fan,and enjoy playing many of his acoustic tunes. Although I don't/can't play a single tune,from either of these albums- On The Beach,and Tonight's the Night. They are by far, my favorite Neil Young albums. Spontaneity,and undeniable heartfelt energy,at it's best. The Real Deal Cheers!
Odd I always thought that "tonight's the night" is one of his best efforts. I really like Neil Young's music and have many of his recordings "Tonight's the night" is probably my favorite.
Neil is amazing CSN amazing all 4 was magic. saw them all together and separate over 40 years, Good documentary its hard to capture the vibe in the early seventies, the timing of there music and social issues couldn't have been more perfect. stills young was great
Oh, man same here! My wife and I have used it many times on a couple of different cats we've had. They don't mean to be annoying, destructive, whatever...they just can't help themselves.
I love that line from "Tired Eyes", hysterical! Neil certainly is a one off original. My favorite artist of all time, but it's quite obvious that he was not "easy" to work with!
Considering all the turmoil going on between band members, it’s pretty amazing CSNY were able to launch two quality albums, and only one of them a studio release. No wonder Deja Vu became such a legendary piece. I think it’s impressive when a group can set aside their differences to put out timeless, memorable music.
"Impressive" to "set aside their differences"? Isn't that something every group has to do to be successful? And every marriage partner? Every set of friends? That's the norm. Doing what you are supposed to do anyway is not my definition of impressive. And wow, they released two entire albums? And one of them studio? Not my idea of "pretty amazing".
I concur, and they set the genre and got out there and did it with no handbook, no support, with no real idea of consequences or much technical expertise, at a time when there was zilch in terms of recovery from narcotic addiction and alcoholism and at a dnagerous time of social unrest, when the drugs were 100% pure, the judgement around the perosnal clashes of the band members are neither here nor there, plenty of other bands and musicians were like it around the same time, and punk made a point of it later on in the 70s.
@@kvernon1 I read a quote from Graham Nash calling CSN [and maybe CSNY] failures. Because they couldn't get along well enough to make more than a few good recordings. I don't remember if he attributed this to ego and substance abuse :^) He seems to have been a very patient person.
Yes Buffalo Springfield had a lot of drama but they were so much more than that. Their albums are now recognized as classics and they did include tiimeless singles that everybody has heard including For What It's Worth, Mr Soul and Bluebird.
wait a second, you said Neil is a nightmare of a human being, what about all the benefit concerts Neil did for disabled children, farmers, environmental issues, humanitarian issues, etc..........making millions of $$$$$$$$ for these organizations.
I was at that Boston show. Neil was also pissed at some bubblehead screaming, ‘Neil.., your bogus!’ Neil responded, Someone slap that guy before I do!” This huge guy told the bubblehead, Knock it off. Then Neil rocked the night. Saw him so many times with great stories and memories. Love sent
Love the music all of these extremely talented musicians made. Its unfortunate that they couldn't hold it together. They all made some of my favorite music.
I understand why, but I'm usually disappointed when music documentaries don't feature the music of the artists they profile due to copyright, but I didn't miss it at all with this one. Well told and engaging. Keep it up!
You don't hear THAT very often, but tbh I really liked it too. The inclusion of The Beach Boys Let's Go Away For A While was perfect. Handel's Messiah not so much.
You too. This channel is SO good. If you love music and learning about the people behind the classic - you're in the right place. To use 60s slang it's Groovy! David
Saw Neil and Crazy Horse at The Rosemount Horizon outside Chicago over 30 years ago with my wife. Opening show for the Weld Tour. Sonic youth opened and blew everyone's ears out.
Stills' historic "Something happening here. . ." is recalled in page 248 of my novel, King of Soul, recalling events at Kent State U, May 1970, a classic moment of American tragedy.
Yes, I understand that. But I believe Stephen Stills himself will attest that the message in his song about protest had become an anthem for our generation, especially after their "Ohio" song. "Four dead in Ohio"@@JJS1953JJS
My college girlfriend and I were walking on that beach when they were taking photos of Neil facing the water. My girlfriend walked up to him and asked if he lost something. I was shocked at her balls. I had been around Neil before, but this was pretty weird as nothing moved for hours.
Great presentation! This was informative, in-depth, and really a joy to watch. Born in 63 I do remember some of these events. The detail and photos along with the time line was just terrific. Lot's of info I knew nothing about! Subbed! Keep up the good work! Best wishes😌
@@derhandtrommler yea true you have a point, but they all inspired many sounds such as the eagles; the eagles stole their bassist twice haha. It doesn’t matter where you are from, you can still inspire a sound in a certain dynamic. All artists eventually move to LA and try to make it big there, then a sound get constructed as “the California sound” even if they aren’t from there
I was fortunate enough to see Neil Young and Crazy Horse in the late 70’s. First half of the show was Neil playing acoustic, Crazy Horse with Neil playing electric guitar the second half. Huge blow up amps, cone heads, hooded monks with red eyes…it was a great show.
I was in a thrift store in Los Angeles around 2015 and found "4 Way Street" on wax for a few dollars and bought it only because Neil was on it. His originals on there are so tasty. Plus Im from Ohio. So you cant ignore the live version of "Ohio" on that record.
Stills’ performance of “4x20” on Dick Cavett is mesmerizing. Whenever I watch it I always look at Joni Mitchell. She’s so into it, it’s like she’s in a trance.
In the liner notes for Neil's "Decade" compilation album many, many years ago, he wrote that the LP Harvest "put him in the middle of the road. I soon headed for the ditch. The ride was rough but I met more interesting people there."
I'm familiar with that quote, as I have "Decade" and have read the liner notes. Based upon things I've read about Neil, it's not surprising that that quote is somewhat contradictory. When he was with Springfield, he seemed to be distraught that they didn't achieve commercial success, but when he does with Harvest, he seems "dismissive" of it. I guess it's just typical of young people and "artists", especially. Most of them are egomaniacs, which is why it's so rare they can get along with bandmates.
I dunno. Neil might have balked upon listening to how horrendously out-of-tune was the guitar that Stephen was forced to play-seconds before they went on.
That was a new one to me, although long ago I read that at least one guy in the Springfield, bass player Bruce Palmer, would refer to Stills as "Sarge" because Stills always tried to run the show. And I do think Stills was a military kid.
I thought the same thing, and it's so obvious I'm sure it was suggested. I could see Stills saying, "man, I don't want people to think I play left-handed" :)
So much is left out : Bluebird , Roger McGuinn's contribution to the style and substance Crosby brought to the group ..... So much important detail left out of what was undeniably a masked soap opera
What! George Harrison didn't care for Neil Young's music? I find it very hard to believe I know I read somewhere John Lennon didn't care for Neil Young's music and that I do believe well whether or not George Harrison cared for Neil Young's music or not George Harrison is still my favorite Beatle I love Crosby stills Nash & Young and I like the solo careers been listening to them since I was a small child now my children listen to them especially Neil Young this is 2024 and there's so much more. Unfortunately David Crosby is no longer with us😢 Stephen stills Graham Nash and Neil Young please Keep on rockin in the Free world by the way Neil Young has a new album out❤❤❤ and I'm not sure what the other two are up to😮 this was a very good interview yeah it's so hard to believe that George Harrison did not care for Neil Young's music 🎶❤️🙏❤️🌍✌️💯
He said Neil made a lot of 'noise' and it wasn't what he personally enjoyed listening to...George was listening to Ravi Shankar and searching for Higher Consciousness...i think Neil's anger in a number of songs turned off George.
Fascinating. And so not like I always imagined the lives of rock stars to be like. IMHO, the spectrum between Stills control and calculation and Young's spontaneity is exactly the realm in which magic is created. One without the other can be quite excellent. But not magic.
While this was a good video and it's obvious that a lot of work went into it, there's many mistakes on these quotes. Please proof them before posting. It'll probably save you a lot of comment corrections. Other than them, nicely done.
I had the Buffalo Springfield albums (in high school). I thought they were a major band (like The Doors). I also thought the "Neil Young" album was awesome. I understand that talented people are not satisfied with anything less than perfection.
I've read some old interviews where Crosby used to refer to it as the "extreme psychodramas" that he'd have with the Byrds and CSN&Y. For some reason, extreme psychodramas seemed to follow him wherever he went.
Neil young refused to sign the release for the footage for Woodstock the movie as did many others. He wasn’t cut out they couldn’t use his footage till years later. Before he joined CSN had met w Nash and won Nash over.
I saw CSN&Y in houston. Nash said Neil missed the fisrt couple of numbers. Because he was throwing a tantrum . He said it to the audience in attendance.
Wow! Excellent documentary. A toxix relationship. They needed relationship counseling before it became popular. Their music may have flourished if they had.
Here's my order of favorites amongst these people: 1. Neil Young 2. Stephen Stills. Then the other 2 guys. Listen, I love me some "CSN and Occasionally Y" (and Buffalo Springfield), and I like some Stephen Stills' solo stuff, some, but I love Neil's non-CSN output. He's on my Mount Rushmore. He's also on most peoples' Mount Rushmore of assholes in the business. It is what it is. But Neil wasn't the reason CSN imploded much later. That involved other huge assholes.
@@garypaquin9571Crosby and Nash could sing, Stills a bit less; Neil, not so much-though, like Dylan, his songwriting chops were so extensive who could care?
George Harrison probably didn’t sign CSN because Graham Nash was in the Hollies and George hated the Hollies version of “If I Needed Someone,” which George wrote.
This documentry should've been longer. It was well told and held my interest.
The follow up.

Stills played with a band he formed with Chris Hillman called Manassas , their first album , I thought it was one of the best he ever recorded,
Agreed. An absolutely fantastic double album.
One of my all time favorites.
Chris Hillman is so great -loved him in McGuinn, Clark and Hillman.

I guess it's just typical of young people and "artists", especially. Most of them are egomaniacs, which is why it's so rare they can get along with bandmates.
Neil Young is somehow a hero to me. I still cover songs like After the Gold Rush.
The irony of a fight breaking out on stage during the concert for the study of non-violence.
Young has always been a scumbag and hypocrite.
After the gold rush & Everybody knows this is nowere are great albums to listen to on acid.
I have to say that I don't blame the producers of the Woodstock film for editing Young out of the final cut. The guy had his priorities backwards.
It''s basically Karma. If you treat photographers like crap-they might not want to film you. I thought it was funny!
I dunno. Neil might have balked upon listening to how horrendously out-of-tune was the guitar that Stephen was forced to play-seconds before they went on.

For the CSN cover, they should have flipped the negative. Or done it optically.

Unfortunately David Crosby is no longer with us😢 Stephen stills Graham Nash and Neil Young please Keep on rockin in the Free world by the way Neil Young has a new album out❤❤❤ and I'm not sure what the other two are up to😮 this was a very good interview yeah it's so hard to believe that George Harrison did not care for Neil Young's music 🎶❤️🙏❤️🌍✌️💯
He said Neil made a lot of 'noise' and it wasn't what he personally enjoyed listening to...George was listening to Ravi Shankar and searching for Higher Consciousness...i think Neil's anger in a number of songs turned off George.
George, God luv him, but he had something negative to say about a lot of performers.
Excuse me but George Harrison was very spiritual and I would not believe that he would judge anyone!
George Harrison was probably concerned about Neil Young's anger 😠 but I bet you that he prayed for him! 💔❤️🙏❤️🎶🌍✌️💯
Fascinating. And so not like I always imagined the lives of rock stars to be like.
IMHO, the spectrum between Stills control and calculation and Young's spontaneity is exactly the realm in which magic is created. One without the other can be quite excellent.
But not magic.
To paraphrase : “ dear Steven it’s funny how things that start spontaneously… end spontaneously, eat a peach…”
Good doc and research…
@jpaulsteadman When it came to commitment Neil was the pits.
Crosby always gets the bad wrap for being disagreeable. But really all four of them seemed hard to work with and had stubborn personalities
By the time we got to Woodstock, we were half a MILLION strong, not billion.
Much enjoyed. It held my interest throughout. Well done man.
* "By the time we got to Woodstock, we were half a MILLION strong."
The picture of Crazy Horse ( The Rockets) is wrong. Frank "Poncho" Sampedro was a replacement for Danny Whitten.
While this was a good video and it's obvious that a lot of work went into it, there's many mistakes on these quotes. Please proof them before posting.
It'll probably save you a lot of comment corrections. Other than them, nicely done.
Nice work, never really knew about all the regroups. You can't have that many chiefs and all be artists
I had the Buffalo Springfield albums (in high school). I thought they were a major band (like The Doors). I also thought the "Neil Young" album was awesome. I understand that talented people are not satisfied with anything less than perfection.
HARVEST is a very good album!
Musicians names who are multi millionaire’s and “hard times” should not be allowed in the same sentence..!
I've read some old interviews where Crosby used to refer to it as the "extreme psychodramas" that he'd have with the Byrds and CSN&Y. For some reason, extreme psychodramas seemed to follow him wherever he went.
Neil young refused to sign the release for the footage for Woodstock the movie as did many others. He wasn’t cut out they couldn’t use his footage till years later. Before he joined CSN had met w Nash and won Nash over.
I saw CSN&Y in houston. Nash said Neil missed the fisrt couple of numbers. Because he was throwing a tantrum . He said it to the audience in attendance.
Whoa you totally skipped 'After The Gold Rush' recordings, dude.
In Neil's book he spoke very favorably of Stills, not so much of Crosby.
I've read that Neil didn't care who he hurt on the way to the top. I guess stardom is all that mattered.
Wow! Excellent documentary. A toxix relationship. They needed relationship counseling before it became popular. Their music may have flourished if they had.
i was there.
amazing how egos clash
Always thought that Neil saved his best tunes for his solo work. For instance, After the Goldrush released 5 months after Deja vu.
Art is fascinating. Appealing to one and torture to another, all from a single work. Thus comparison is pointless, it’s all subjective.
well stated
It was ever thus.
I always loved Neil's work but now can't get past his attacks on people who question the covid vaccine. He tried to get Joe Rogan kicked off Spotify.
Rogans words killed people.
Neil Young was right about the Covid vaccine. Those mindless anti-vaxers did a lot of damage.
rogan makes people eat bugs and worms Neil makes music.
Here's my order of favorites amongst these people: 1. Neil Young 2. Stephen Stills. Then the other 2 guys. Listen, I love me some "CSN and Occasionally Y" (and Buffalo Springfield), and I like some Stephen Stills' solo stuff, some, but I love Neil's non-CSN output. He's on my Mount Rushmore. He's also on most peoples' Mount Rushmore of assholes in the business. It is what it is. But Neil wasn't the reason CSN imploded much later. That involved other huge assholes.
Crosby and Nash were back-up musicians and sang decent harmony. The magic was supplied by Stills and Young.
Darn Tootin' 100%
@@garypaquin9571Crosby and Nash could sing, Stills a bit less; Neil, not so much-though, like Dylan, his songwriting chops were so extensive who could care?
@@JayAr709 I'd listen to Stills singing lead any day over the other three.
Corporate Music America has dollar bills as blinkers in its field of vision
He even had the Beatles haircut and imitated them in Buffalo Springfield
George Harrison probably didn’t sign CSN because Graham Nash was in the Hollies and George hated the Hollies version of “If I Needed Someone,” which George wrote.
