I had the good fortune of seeing Crosby, Stills and Nash a few weeks after their appearance at Woodstock and when this song was climbing the charts. They played outdoors in a small football stadium. They did the transitions of the different parts of this song with ease. I can't remember who else was at that concert... CS&N stole the show.
I've always liked this song because it's so different. I've always loved the different.
The whole title is Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, with suite indicating disparate sections being woven together in on song. It is also a play on the phrase sweet Judy blue eyes, as it about Stephen Stills travails in an on again off again relationship with the brilliant folk singer, Judy Collins, who has china blue eyes as well as an angelic voice. Very clever and one of the all time classics. Wonderful reaction!
I read the her response was, "Great song. It's still no."
@@bierce716 Lol!
Thanks for the explnation of what a suite is . How about that, he with Judy Collins and Nash with Joni Mitchell (Our House) .
When you describe Judy's eyes, it reminds me of Vincent's "eyes of China blue .
Yes thanks. I was about to remark that.
Thank you for acknowledging the fact that it is a take on the musical form of the suite!
Always knew this was about a longing for Judy Collins. She has always been amazing to me but a young Judy Collins, yawwwzzzuuuhhh!!!!!And then there are those sweet blue eyes, from both sides, now.
I heard them live in Honolulu around 1970 and they OPENED with it. As I recall they only played with acoustic guitars and the percussion was supplied by Stills knocking and slapping his guitar. What a concert!
I was at a concert where they played it live. It was beyond awesome. Their harmonies were stunning. Pure talent, no auto tune.
Another classic from m childhood. I fell in love with it the first time I heard it. Thank you for including this.
A musical suite is multiple pieces combined into a single piece
I think you will like the song, Teach Your Children
"fear is the lock, and laughter they key to your heart". One of my favorite lines in all of music.
They were so awesome with lyrics! Another lyric line that hits deep: "She is all that I have left and music is her name." Southern Cross.
Agreed!
Try Wooden Ships next.
You ROCK !
Funny story about that song. Jefferson Airplane did a cover of it, added a single line and Paul Kantner gave himself co-writing credit! LOL. Bands in those days were so incestuous. Crosby was in a triangle relationship with Grace Slick and Kantner (no, not a menage a trois but Crosby called it a triad) and Paul had heard the song before CSN recorded it.
Was thinking the same. czcams.com/video/AdiuqQ7xm30/video.html Also suggesting an early Stills-Young collaberation with Buffalo Springfield's "Mr. Soul." czcams.com/video/jyc0JSd5q7U/video.html As much as Harri loves The Beatles, getting into Neil Young -- and his deep, deep catalog -- is a logical next step.
Neil Young joined CS&N after they recorded this album. They needed someone else who played guitar etc. because Stills played most of the instruments on the album.
Like Simon and Garfunkel, the voices fit like that’s why they were all on the planet at the same time-to make us happy with the perfect balance.
One of the greatest "singing" bands of all time.... CSN.....thanks Harri...
Love this song. Loved watching you enjoy it too. It’s brilliant 🥰
Good cover of one of the TOP singer/ songwriters of the last century. Stephen Stills. The guy just ozzzed with the perfect lyrics and music. Check out the album Stephen did with Judy Blue Eyes several years ago. Should also mention that Stephen played bass and organ as well as some of the percussions.
The harmonies and acoustic guitar is epic!❤
CROSBY,, STILLS & NASH "WOODEN SHIPS" & "SOUTHERN CROSS"..ABSOLUTE CLASSICS
judy blue eyes,,,she has the bluest eyes ever!!!
There's a live version where Stephen Stills absolutely shreds his guitar on the guitar solo, beautifully done.
This was from their first album and Young had not yet joined them. This is quintessential Southern California singer/songwriter folk rock from late sixties.....1969 if I recall I wore this album out that summer And yeah, the close harmonies would remind you a bit of S&G.
Young was with them on stage playing this song... he was left of off the credits out of spite for refusing to be on camera at Woodstock when he saw the bands were playing to the cameras instead of the 300,000 fans.. He and Stills sang two songs together from their Buffalo Springfield days, later that day..
Find the cost of freedom, 4 way street, my mom, sister and I would harmonize and sing this song for my dad, it’s magnificent
“Our House” was written about the home Graham Nash & Joni Mitchell shared together as a couple 💜
Nash is the one on the right in this picture
...and "Just a song before i go " ; "Carried Away" and "Teach Your Children" 👍 by CSN 🙂
Teach Your Children is awesome!
This is a masterpiece
Check out Long Time Gone. It is an absolute classic!
That is what a Suite is, a number of songs within one song.
Watch them sing it live at Woodstock..."This is only the second time we've played in front of people, man. We're scared sh*tless!"
Monterey Pop and Woodstock are concert films for you. Right up your alley! ✌️😎
Stephen Stills played all of the instruments on this album save for the drums. After the record he was dubbed 'Mr. Many Hands'.
One of my favorites, always a good road trip song to sing along!
"Southern Cross"
I'm so old that I can remember when this used to get played on BBC Radio 1
Something so unique in the 60s and 70s. The talent, was obviously inspired by something incredible. Great piece, great song!
Crosby, Stills and Nash were wonderful in concert. The harmonies..... Check out "Helplessly Hoping" and Guinnevere for some of the most beautiful harmony ever.
Too right! Actually the whole debut album is sublime...✌
While we have Judy Collins in mind, "Her cover of Joni Mitchell's "Both Sides Now" was for me the most beautiful song to my young teenage ears and brain. Really. You should listen.
Not knocking Judy Collins but I've heard Joni Mitchell disliked her version of "Both Sides".
I prefer the Gargoyles' Filk version, "Send in the Clones".
Send in the Clones. There have to be Clones. Don't bother, we're here.
I remember Graham interviewing Judy on a tv show he was doing at one point . He said to her: Do you know how many questions we have had to answer, about you, everytime we sing Suite:Judy Blue Eyes? She grinned from ear to ear. Then Stephen came out and they sung a song together. Beautiful!
This is my mum and dad's song. He persuaded her to marry him by singing this and "Words" by The Bee Gees to her. He had a gorgeous voice. They have been married for 46 years! He is my step dad but to me he's just dad. When he married my mum, he brought his record collection with him. Oh deep joy! L.Zeppelin; Uriah Heep, CSNY, Sabbath, Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, Free and on and on...I already had The Beatles but my musical education expanded exponentially with every vinyl dream I played. They still love this.
Wow
"Words" is a really romantic song. I can understand how that worked.
Uriah heep oh my. Phew
@@billycaine4075 hey, now. There's no call for this. Everybody is entitled to their opinion.
There's room here for Chocolate AND Vanilla. Maybe even Strawberry or Pistachio, but definitely NOT Rum Raisin, and Sherbet is right out the window. Yes, people are entitled to their opinion ... but one must maintain standards.
Hubby and me just had our 48 anniversary on May 23.
Yeah, they did it live a few times. They did it once after not having done it for years and pulled it off great. They were renowned for their great vocal harmonies. Samsbro 1952 tells the story of its origin.
what an arrangement this masterpiece is
One of the greatest songs ever written. Can't think of anything the past decade or so that compares.
Songs of that era frequently excelled at changing up melodies, beat and lyrics. Even in the 80s you had a song like Come Sail Away which starts out as almost a classic piano tune and morphed into rock and electronica.
“Southern Cross” is beautiful 👍👍
" Wooden Ships " ✌️♥️
Notice that the person who sings lead is also the songwriter! (Any combination of the 3 or 4). I've been listening to their music for over 40 years. Love them all, Any combination!
Want beautiful harmonies? ABBA every time. :) Crosby Stills & Nash's harmonies are great too!
I would bet they loved playing this live often. More chances for all types of experimental changes.
Sometimes Young!!!👌🎼👍🎶✌️😁
Timeless song and harmonies, one of the greats of the 70's by a monster US band.
Graham Nash has written some great ones.
Try TAKEN AT ALL or IMMIGRATION MAN
This and Helplessly Hoping are two great songs of the genius of Stephen Stills songwriting.
These guys, with and without Neil Young, had some of the best harmonies of all time. This song is a showcase of the talent of each one. Just exquisite for your ears. They were actually amazing live. I was lucky enough to see them (with Neil) in person. The show went on for over two hours. They did songs as a foursome and then various combinations and solos. Fantastic!!😂
Lucky lucky lucky you!
*Harry* I'm going to inject an artist { I think is new to your channel } .... *Bob Segar* !!!!! He is an AMAZING storyteller and his catalog is VERY deep.! My top 3 suggestions below and he does soft rock, bangers, funk, you name it.! These 3 are *MUST LISTENS* IMHO...
1) Turn The Page
2) Night Moves
3) Against the Wind
"Famous Final Scene" and "Hollywood Nights".
Thanx David..he's on the bucket list😀
Down on Main Street is another good one by Bob Seger.
Good choice. CSNY is probably one of the first supergroups...try out also 'wooden ships' from CSNY.
Written for folk singer Judy Collins. She & Steve Stills have remained friends all these years later. The word that should stand out after hearing it is HARMONIES!!!
HARRI its just a journey through my musical life. Please enjoy the ride, it will be a rollercoaster of great times, and music.
Probably my favorite group. Well my top 5! Lol good stuff Harry!
What a great album. I was 17 when it came out
I love that song!
As a musician, I can easily see how you’re really able to dissect the songs in your mind… enjoying your enjoyment.
Very good reaction HarriBest, the other musicians that you mentioned at certain parts of the song I can totally see. You gave me a lot to think about even though I have heard this song so many times. Well Done.
Great reaction Harri! Crosby Stills and Nash also had another great hit with Marrakesh Express.
I have seen them do the Suite: live so many times. Stills man, that guitar, those voices!! WOW!! Harri is sooooooooo mellow and cool. It is that proper British thing. haha
A "Suite" is a collection of short musical pieces which can be played one after another. I'm a solo guitarist and I played it live...a great song to perform. Of course, when I played there were always 500+ drunk people singing with me.
Now listen to Judy Collins singing "Both Sides Now" to see why Steven wrote a song about her. Then maybe Joni Mitchell singing the same song to see the best female singer songwriter of the era.
David Crosby had been in The Byrds. Steven Stills was in Buffalo Springfield. And Graham Nash was in the Hollies. (L-R in the picture on the album cover seen here, they are Nash, Stills, and Crosby.) All three of their previous bands are well worth exploring. Check out "Mr. Tambourine Man" and "Turn Turn Turn" by the Byrds. Check out "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield, arguably the most important protest song of the '60s. And when it comes to the Hollies, where do I begin? "Bus Stop," "Stop, Stop, Stop," "Look Through Any Window," and "The Air That I Breathe" (recorded after Graham left the band) are some of their best.
This song was their second single from their self-titled album. Marakesh Express was the first. There is a song on the album that you definitely should listen to called "Lady Of the Island." Sung by David Crosby. One of the most beautiful, intimate songs you will ever hear. This is one of those landmark albums that seemingly EVERYONE with any taste in music owned. Neil Young would join them later and the group became Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, which released one album together called De Ja Vu. Another landmark album. These guys didn't stay together long (just the two albums), but boy, they made every track count. Both albums are just chocked full of wonderful songs that are held in the highest esteem by countless millions of music lovers.
And he is the biological father of Becket Cypher (Melissa Etheridge and Julie Cypher's son).
Very nicely told, thank you.
I would add that these three all relesed solo albums after their parting. If you check them out, you'll be able to hear the individual styles and playing upon a re-listening to their collaborative work.
I love this album and their other giftings, prior and later to come.
Thanks, Harri, for your love of music.
Nash wrote and sang “ Lady of the island”. Cros did “Guinevere”.
Part of Buffalo Springfield, part of the Hollies, forming one great band.
A masterpiece in so many dimensions: writing, composition, vocals, instruments, arrangement -- there are very, very few songs like it.
Great song and one of the all time best trio vocals!
I learned how to sing harmony by singing along with CSNY back in their time. No other group has perfected rock harmony than CSN and Y. They stand alone in this regard!
They did perform this song live at Woodstock, with their 3-man supergroup having been just newly formed. They were nervous about performing it but they got it done splendidly, captured beautifully in the film.
Joni Mitchell was supposed to ride with them to Woodstock but couldn’t go and ended up watching Woodstock on tv and then wrote the song “Woodstock “
I missed it too but listen to the intro at Woodstock...Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Neil didn't want to be filmed.
Neil Young was actually with them at Woodstock, but gave strict orders he was not to be on Camera. Don’t know why, but he Stay out of the Spotlight..Harri, Please React to “Wooden Ships” next. It’s about Post-Apocalyptic earth, the opening lines are…” I can see by the clothes you wear you’re from the other side. Can you tell me….Who won?” Beautifully done, Thnx!.. SanJoseBob
David Crosby- "This is our second gig.."
Stephen Stills- "This is the second time we've ever played in front of people man... we're scared shitless."
Said to 300,000 people at Woodstock 1969.
4 Way Street did it better but then top 40 garbage radio doesn't play long versions
Someone else mentioned the live 1990’s version. Stephen Stills guitar so is not to be missed. I didn’t notice anyone commenting on Stills hearing loss. It was diagnosed as a child and has progressively worsened. He is still able to sing with help of hearing aids.
Love this Band with or without Young. " Wooden Ships" please. Enjoy
Please listen to this performed live at Woodstock - watching the video is a bonus. They play it so well, it is impressive.
I would play this song at parties. One of my pals would often ask if could play the "45 minute" song.
Foxes & Fossils does a GREAT cover of this song.
"Teach Your Children" next
Harri in 1969 we were spoilt ,Led Zeppelin ,Beatles ,Black Sabbath ,Free, Fleetwood Mac,the list goes on and on ,kids today don't know what they missed
They were all inspired by each other, the grouth expirience out of that is what made great music even better
Another CSN song you might like is Love the One You're With. The song was also covered by a number of artists, notably the Isley Brothers and Luther Vandross.
Song was recorded on a Stills solo album. However, Crosby and Nash are singing on the song.
Thx for another CSN
Super group
We played this live in a 4 piece band (with 4 lead vocalists).
4 songs in one -- hence the title "SUITE: Judy Blues Eyes"
The band was so full of talent that you can spin off solo works from any of them - Neil Young (Old Man) Stephen Stills (Treetop Flyer) Graham Nash (Lay me down) and David Crosby (Music is love) HARMONY GREATNESS
David Crosby (Music is Love) and (Laughing) from his If I Could Only Remember My Name album... fantastic!
Jerry Garcia plays on a lot of their solo albums (not Neil Young) and also Deja Vu. He's the main sideman on the Crosby album.
Another song by "Crosby Stills and Nash" is - Carry On (It's definitely worth a listen)
Grahsm Nash is from Manchester where the Beatles used to play in the old days. He studied them first hand in a Msnchester club before they were famous which is why he might sound like Paul McCsrtney at times
Reminder me so much of Paul
CROSBY,, STILLS & NASH "MARRAKESH EXPRESS"...TRUST ME!!
Young joined after Crosby, Stills, and Nash released this album. Young and Stills were in band together prior to this called Buffalo Springfield.
Whenever you want to get your mellow on, try "Southern Cross" by them and also they did one of the best covers of "Blackbird" by the Beatles that I have ever heard. Peace and love ❤️
Southern Cross is spectacularly beautiful!
I had this vinyl album when I was a kid. You should really listen to the rest of the "Deja Vu" album by CSNY. Especially the song "Carry On."
Neil Young joined a bit later.
STEPHEN STILLS SOLO CAREER CLASSICS... "LOVE THE ONE YOUR WITH",, "CHANGE PARTNERS" & "TREETOP FLYER"
I enjoy your reaction videos so much because you are so excited by the music. Please stay amazed at the music that is out there. The 60's and 70's were magical. Catch some of that lightening in a bottle.
One of my favorites‼️. Still fresh and wonderful after all these years🎶. I knew you would enjoy this. What's not to like? Stay well Harri✌️🦋
Hey Harriet..Havent seen you in a while..sending hugs
@@HarriBestReactions sending hugs back! Spring has sprung and I am in full gardening mode. 🌻🌼🌸🌺🪴🍃🌾🌺🌸🌼🌻. Keep up the good work👏👏✌️🎶
There is a great live version they did at the original '69 Woodstock. Just one guitar their 3 voices.
I love the fact that you are a musician, Harry. You hear things that so many others miss.
A good live version of this song is the woodstock one. It has neil young on it as well. Also Harri, i suggest you listen to csn& y ' s " Teach Your Children ". As a son and a father this song has always pulled at my heart.
These guys were music heroes back in the day. I bought a Guild D-35 in '72 because of them. Note: I always thought this song could not be covered. Check out the "Foxes and Fossils" cover. Even Graham Nash complimented them on it.
The confluence of Buffalo Springfield, the Byrds, the Hollies around the one and only Judy Collins, and Voila: a masterpiece.
