For me Graham Nash is a largely unrecognised giant. He went from the being top of the charts with the Hollies, to an integral part of a supergroup in the 70s, to producing exquisite work as a single artist.

These guys worshipped their craft. Its almost like being in a prayer meeting. Great harmonies. Perfect control. Total blend of sounds to create their signature product. Overtones are beautiful and a tribute to their talent.
What a Blessed audience.... All will carry this wonderful memory to the grave and beyond....I'm awestruck! Heard this song all through my life... everywhere I went in America I've heard this song! Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High school CA ✌️
One of the greatest - their voices blended in such a unique way - and their phrasing was perfect. I also love Stephen Stills guitar playing skills - underappreciated by some.
My 10 year old granddaughter and I were at an outdoor concert where the band was playing the music from my era, including CSN&Y, and I told her that when the music is really well crafted and classic, it doesn't matter how many years pass. It sounds just as good today as it did the day it came out. I kept hundreds of albums which I recently gifted to my oldest daughter and my daughters and grandkids grew up listening to and appreciating the music that we had front row seats to.
WOW! I have never watched this song played live. wow. I could feel Steven Stills put his HEART into playing that song. At one point it seemed he was spent form the intensity, then he came forward to lead the finale. Whew!
It took me a long time to distinguish Crosby's voice when they go into 3 parts. Nash is easy to seperate, its Stills and Crosby that seem to blend. Even though Crosby is in what the critics call "zombie mode" here, he doesn't miss a note, and his intonation is near perfect. This dude could sing, perhaps even when he was high as a kite. RIP, a truly great harmony singer
I don't know how anyone can even tell if he's making any noise with the stash. He seemed to be out of it the whole show. It sounded nice though even if it was only 2.5 voices.
@yootoob20011957 Here is a specific example where if you listen very carefully you can distinguish the 3 parts. And yes, I had to use visual clues to get it, mustache be damned. Voices of the angels (Stills) ring around the moonlight (Stills and Nash) asking me, etc (all 3) Really focus on the timbre of Stills' voice on ring around the moonlight and track it to the next phrase. Crosby's part on "asking me etc" is the low one, which really blends with the guitar. This is at 06:40. Elsewhere in the song Crosby sings unison with Stills and his voice is really the one you hear, not Stills' which is perhaps why it took so long to figure out who was who
Es cierto, las voces de Stephen y Graham son las más notorias. Cuando canto está canción me es fácil saltar de la primera de Still a la tercera de Nash, pero la segunda de David es fácil ignorarla.
@@rntrojasrojas2204 I can read that in spanish, y gracias . But, mostly, not always, crosby sings the root, and stills sings the third, Nash sings up a 5th or an octave of Crosby even going all the way back to woodstock. wait? the second of david is ignorantly easy? I'm speaking in intervals, you are speaking in parts. Stills sings the lead (la primera) , but in harmony he usually sings the third
I didn't know until I read your post that he died. When I was still on Twitter when it was still fun, I used to talk to him, and he actually responded to my posts. We talked about our strict fathers and growing tomatoes. It was so cool to be able to speak to him as an everyday, family guy. CSN&Y was so much a part of my youth... I saw them together and separately in concerts in the seventies... in Milwaukee, he played Guinevere for me when I yelled out my request. 🥺
This piece is on the list of my 10 favorite songs of all time. I have my original album that I bought 50+ years ago. It sounds like an Indian raga played on sitar in parts.
In the 1960's I loved to listen to Judy Collins. I guess you could say I had a crush on her. Upon finally finding out what Suite Judy Blue Eyes was about (and how great the music and the voices of the band were), I always thought of Judy when listening to their great song.
I saw CSN&Y in a reunion concert in 1974 in Milwaukee. I had seen them all separately a coupke if times before. With open seating, I was sitting about 50 feet away from the stage and when it was time for the acoustics set David Crosby said, "Well, what should we play?" and I yelled out, "GUINEVERE!" He looked at me and laughed and that's what they played next... They were part of the soundtrack of my youth.
After 5:30 this song comes really alive. Stills singing spanish. And the exiting ritmes of the Caraïben. Stills father was a trator and Stills picked up all the local sounds and mixed them with the american music. I love it very much
Nobody can play guitar like Stephen. If somebody asked me who was the best guitarist I would say it would have to be a tie between George Harrison and Stephen Stills
@@marklee9268 it ws a while ago i researched it and found the year so i dont have the source before me, but it clearly was NOT 1969 because in 1969 they were all still in their 20's -- here they are in their early 40's except Stephen stills who was in his late 30's. here's a clip of them in 1974 where they are clearly younger -> czcams.com/video/FtFqzTcWTBE/video.htmlsi=UYa-CpCd2zvKKi2j
I have heard this by others and thought great--whats's spcial about CSN. Just had another to listen to CSN and by the cringe,nobody can beat that for sheer and utter brilliance. I feel a twassack for thinking other versions were the best. Now I know. the Brilliance of CSN,and I feel like a weed!!
How important to a viewer of great paintings on what kind of strokes did Michelangelo do to make something magical CSN made their harmonies “sing” (musician’s term), whatever they did. Memorable music is not programmable or “perfect” - it just works If one is transported away and mesmerized by the sounds, relish and treasure those moments Note: I had worked with the late Dallas Taylor, who worked with CSN&Y from before/during/after Deja Vu days and he just marveled at how the magic of the harmonies were created/recreated Having worked with Brian Wilson, had experiences with legendary creators of angelic harmonies that have transported myself to worlds I have never imagined before .
Crosby is comatose and Nash is wired to the gills. And still they sound like a heavenly choir. :-)
Yeah, Graham looks like he's been into the marching dust! Stills is ALWAYS Fantastic!!
For me Graham Nash is a largely unrecognised giant. He went from the being top of the charts with the Hollies, to an integral part of a supergroup in the 70s, to producing exquisite work as a single artist.
We are slowly losing our all time greats from 60's, 70's. 80's & yes even some of 90's fantastic performers.
It's getting to the point where I'm no fun anymore
I am sorry
Sometimes it hurts so badly I must cry out loud
I am lonely
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard
Remember what we've said and done
And felt about each other
Oh, babe have mercy
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now
I am not dreaming
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Tearing yourself away from me now you are free
And I am crying
This does not mean I don't love you
I do, that's forever
Yes and for always
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard
Something inside is telling me that I've got your secret
Are you still listening?
Fear is the lock and laughter the key to your heart
And I love you
I am yours, you are mine
You are what you are
You make it hard
And you make it hard
And you make it hard
And you make it hard
Friday evening
Sunday in the afternoon
What have you got to lose?
Tuesday morning
Please, be gone, I'm tired of you
What have you got to lose?
Can I tell it like it is? (Help me, I'm sufferin')
And listen to me baby
It's my heart that's a-sufferin', it's a-dyin' (Help me, I'm dyin')
And that's what I have to lose (To lose)
I've got an answer
I'm going to fly away
What have I got to lose?
Will you come see me
Thursdays and Saturdays?
(Hey, hey, hey) What have you got to lose?
Chestnut brown canary
Ruby throated sparrow
Sing a song, don't be long
Thrill me to the marrow
Voices of the angels
Ring around the moonlight
Asking me, said she's so free
How can you catch the sparrow?
Lacy lilting lady
Losing love lamenting
Change my life, make it right
Be my lady
Qué linda, me la traie a Cuba
La reina de la Mar Caribe
Cielo, sol, no llega tarde aquí
Y qué triste que no puedo bailar, oh va, oh va
Stills is the real genius of this group ❤

Heard this song all through my life... everywhere I went in America I've heard this song!

What an amazing, brilliant song. A classic. Stills is one of the most underrated guitar players.
Stephen Stills, Jerry Reed, Glen Campbell, and Roy Clark. THE most UNDERRATED guitarists.
One of the greatest - their voices blended in such a unique way - and their phrasing was perfect. I also love Stephen Stills guitar playing skills - underappreciated by some.
This is from their “Daylight again” tour in ‘83. Great show !!
I Almost Forgot What A Great Guitar Player Stephen Stills Was!!!
Now we'll never forget! 🙋✌️
Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High school CA ✌️
Was!!!! He still is.
He’s still alive😂
My ears are happy my heart is full and my soul is smiling when I hear them
Stills is a genius.
An underrated all time great songwriter. Just this song and For What It's Worth alone are masterpieces.
Crosby & Nash too !
ひとつの時代を作った😮曲ですね❤😮
stills is a genius. he wrote this and played the principal musical instrumental voice.
This makes me want to cry with joy for the gift they have shared with us.
Crosby stand so easily and peacefull, he's the boss.
To listen to this timeless work of art an infinite number of times is not nearly enough!
❤❤❤

Agreed. I listen to this version just about every day. It never gets old. Just magnificent!
Goddam Stills was on fire for that piece that night. Play it again and listen to how he uses silence in his picking. Fucking genius.
One of the greatest songs ever ❣️
I sing it for my Mother...
We never got a long that well...🤷🙋💞
Wow, that was a f'ing great performance. I can't find any musical acts like this in my generation :'(.
WOW! I have never watched this song played live. wow. I could feel Steven Stills put his HEART into playing that song. At one point it seemed he was spent form the intensity, then he came forward to lead the finale. Whew!
Ahhhh .. such fond memories of good people and better times, all now gone

Favorite song ever.
First time seeing it "live"
And loved watching Stills do his guitar work.
Brilliant song, unique blend of voices that can't be duplicated. RIP David Crosby.
THANKS DAVID.
YOU'LL LIVE IN OUR HEARTS ....
sensationell ... sollte 2millionenfach geklickt werden
Never before or since, have 3 voices melded like this....beautiful! And wonderful guitar accompaniment; nothing like it!

one of the all time greatest songs
Best melody group ever

la più bella canzone di sempre, Love this soooo much❤❤❤🎶🎶🎶💜💜💜💫💫💫
Loved them. Thier the bomb.
Hits you right in the head and stays there.
Nice treat at 4 in the morning
I wish I could see the whole concert!!!!
Just sublime.
Superb blending of voices nd musical sounds.
Excellent content.....thank you!!
Brilliant! 😎
And THANK YOU for sharing this with me!!
Crosby’s vocal parts very subtle in this version. You have to listen very carefully to hear what he is singing. A musical genius
because he's stoned out of his mind......
@@brucenotalmighty and he nails it!
Agreed . He owned it .
How could you not sing along? Especially at the end?
Nobody can play guitar like Stephen. If somebody asked me who was the best guitarist I would say it would have to be a tie between George Harrison and Stephen Stills
my fav song of all time, this version is a bit too fast but guitar sounds the best I've heard
This is just fkn beautiful
Stills’s “dreadnaught” sized Martin guitar is in his hands a symphony orchestra. He drives forward the performance’s energy and positivity.
One of the greatest songs ever!
Grandiose prestation 🙂
MONUMENTAL.....I LOVE ...
It's still about Judy Collins
These guys are perfect! Rest your soul David and we will always love you!
Canzoni immortali ❤
Martin D-28. EEEEBE tuning.
David Crosby and Graham Nash brought Stephen Stills' songs to life. CSN is incomparable.
Except when it’s CSN&Y 👍.
Totally agree, man. Young added only ego to this group.
This might have been 1979, NOT 1969. Maybe in the 1980's even.
it was 1982
Fabulous live performance by CSN. This performance was Thanksgiving weekend 1982 at the Universal Amphitheater - not 1969.
David Crosby was the tenor suprano. Any body who has played music can hear this
There voices are like a sunrise 🎉!
Fan-damn-tastic!
🙏🏻 Stephen Stills ✨
Talent
this performance is from 1982
thanks, do you know where this was? and how do you know the date? I have been looking for this info but can't find any clues.
@@marklee9268 it ws a while ago i researched it and found the year so i dont have the source before me, but it clearly was NOT 1969 because in 1969 they were all still in their 20's -- here they are in their early 40's except Stephen stills who was in his late 30's. here's a clip of them in 1974 where they are clearly younger -> czcams.com/video/FtFqzTcWTBE/video.htmlsi=UYa-CpCd2zvKKi2j
EXTRA !
Lol love the music but look at the personalities. Classic.
I love this version but the Woodstock version remains the best of this song
4:46 - 5:58 Stephen Stills!!!!
wish I could put more likes......like a thousand, heck 100k...........a million and that aint enough
Stephen Stills worked it...
extra terrestri scesi tra noi con l'astronave.
AKA angels.

OMG
Crosby was probably afraid to move his head around it might scramble his brains and he’d forget the words..🤪🤪😂😂😂
GN is zooming
When/Where was this amazing performance?
how stoned is Crosby?
Nash is really nuts or very high.
Anyone know what concert this is from?
i wish i could play the string instrument -
This is from 1982, not 1969.
Agreed.
This is not from 1969 they are older then they were in 69
Why did graham perform barefoot
How important to a viewer of great paintings on what kind of strokes did Michelangelo do to make something magical
CSN made their harmonies “sing” (musician’s term), whatever they did. Memorable music is not programmable or “perfect” - it just works

.
Dropped down a step from the original key. From E to D.
That's not 1969 lol
not 1969
This is not 1969.
More like 1989
Stephen😂
This certainly isn’t 1969
But when?
I prefer the Foxes and Fossils version.
Brilliant. It’s just such a shame that Graham Nash is such a posing knob end.
crosby isn't even singing he's so high.
