January 19 2023....who else is watching. RIP David Crosby
Tonight is a tribute night to David Crosby at our house. SO VERY SAD to hear tonight of his passing although not totally surprising. A little eerie because in a conversation today with a 30something who asked me what my favorite kind of music was...and my response without hesitation was 'old rock and roll'. When pressed for more specifics I said 'Well, if I'm going to be on an island and can only have one music it will be Crosby,Stills and Nash. So strange. But I loved and admired this man...for his talent, his genius, and his human weaknesses. It's hard to believe that we will never again hear that golden voice or the harmony it created with Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young. We're toasting you here tonight David....Rock On.
Truly a sad day that will continue forever..keep the music alive...thru the kids, grandkids, and they will pass it on
I hope you had the CSN mid-70s album/CD with the sailboat. 'Darkstar' was on it & a lot of great songs.
His best lyric was the line 'Sunset smells of dinner' on 'All Along The Lee Shore'
I’m going to listen to Shine on you crazy diamond with Crosby and Nash joining David Gilmour at the Royal Albert Hall. One of my favourite songs with an added dimension with their harmonising vocals added to it.
“Try some of my purple berries”
Marva, I hope for your & your family's sakes, the mid-70s CSN LP w/his sailboat on the cover- played fully or at least completely as it's really the best of all incldg w/ Neil (CSN+Y). Why? Because he's the best & most flexible & productive, prolific of the bunch. If he was a Babe - he'd be Marsha Brady or Lori Partridge; *edited for clarity:Re NY-instead he's a Man into coke woman & not the Mother & his Wife (Pegi Young) who deserves better than she rcvd by a spouse.
One of the highlights of my life was meeting Mr. Crosby in a jewelry store in Coconut Grove (Miami) and I told him, truthfully, that IOICRMN was my favorite album, that I'd worn out 3 copies of it, and he said if I'm bring it in the next day, he'd come in and autograph it. And he did! Great guy!!
Beautiful
Is it not IICORMN ?
Still one of my favorite albums!
❤🎸🎵🎼🎤
If I Could Only Remember My Name, is what you mean I think {IICORMN
Rest In Peace David Crosby. Watching this is making me so sad you are not here anymore..
I could listen to him talk for hours
I've always described him as The Great Harmonizer. 💞🙏🎤
RIP brother
With no sole
Im very proud of my uncle David!
My sincere condolences ❤️ From Nigeria...I'm a muscisn too..I love his song Hero... beautiful song.
YOU HAVE ALOT TO BE PROUD FOR. I GREW UP LISTENING TO YOUR UNCLE 'EVERYDAY', MY FAV SONG IS (FOUR DEAD IN) OHIO BECAUSE I LIVED THROUGH IT AND IT STILL AFFECTS ME TO THIS DAY. AND DAVID CROSBY WAS MY FAV OUT OF 4 SINGERS...GOD BLESS YOU CHRISTOPHER, AND LET'S KEEP HIM ALIVE BY PLAYING HIS SONGS FOREVER...
@@kathrynejones2590 lol
Rest In Peace, David Crosby. Thanks for the music and all of the joy it brought to my life. Hopefully, you've found some of your old buddies gone too soon and you're jamming and harmonizing tonight. Give Cass a hug for me.
Ok I didn't cry when I heard Crosby died, but I just did watching him play Dejevu solo. Powerful shit man!
One of my favorite albums is Crosby and Nash! Wind on the water! Rest in peace David!
David Crosby was one of my most influential and inspirational musicians that increased my desire to play guitar and sing. He was a musical genius. He will be missed.
Goodbye old friend.
Rest in Peace.
You were part of the soundtrack of my youth.
1/19/23
One great human has taken leave of this plane of existence
Blessings of light & love
Rock the cosmos~ David
Yes,he knew how to cross over!!!!
Rest Peacefully David Crosby. I grew up listening to my older sister playing your music and I grew to love your talent. 🙏🏼☮️💙✨❣️
His explanation of sleep and creativity is spot on. I'll fall asleep and wake up with a great story in mind, or poem or song. Always keep a pad notebook, next to your bed.
Crosby's gone. What a complete loss. The heart of Crosby, Stills and Nash. So sad. Love you Cros.
When Crosby speaks about DejaVu, and having been here before, it's not past lives, rather the lives of ancestors passed. Genetic memory. It goes back to pre-history. It's older than the human race.
I love David Crosby ... he will be missed ! Thank God his music lives on
This man's music has brought me back from hell many , many times . I love and respect the Croz so much.
Right ON BROTHER DAVID IS THE MAN MYTH AND LEDGEND HIS LEADERSHIP AND TALLENT IS LIKE NO. O N E. STEPHEN IS GOOD BUT NEIL I'VE LOST RESPECT FOR HEAY NEIL ARE YOU A POLITICAL NUT BAG OR JOHNNY ROTTEN. ? DUDE YOU CANT CHANGE THE WORLD
@@stephengiffith1010 Neil Young is great! He is not the only One trying to change the 🌎 for the better! #Imagine
I think I’ve finally figured out Crosby. He was a cat in human form.
A cat always pursues his own agenda, never says no to pleasure, and thus can be a pain in the neck. But you put up with it all, because a cat’s so d*mn charming.
Crosby was one charming cat.
After all, he was a Leo.
Purrr purrrr purrr
Wouldn't have necessarily agreed with that before I became a cat owner, or I should say cat provider. Long story, but this cat I named Houdini, because he's an escape artist, magical, and a thief...as he stole my heart. So now knowing what I've learned from a cat, and having met David Crosby even for a brief time, I would say he does closely resembles a cat's personality.
Very fitting, since a “cat” is also a jazz musician (and I even think Crosby referred to himself and the others as “cats” sometimes).
Sitting here on the day of his passing, in wonderment watching his talent. Rest in peace...
As soon as he starts playing and singing it's instant magic 🔥
The last time I saw them CSN&YOUNG
Nash and Cosby just stood on-stage looking
very incompetent in the Huge Shadows Flung Across
That Stage.
Stephen Stills and Neil Young just blew the lid off the place.
It is in my Top 5 concerts I have ever attended !
I attended my first concert in 69/70.
Emerson Lake &Palmer first tour of America.
Crosby had a guitar hanging from his neck and he was just
fingerings it.
There was no way he was ever going to stay with those two
Monster's Musican`s
d
Breathless for 56 minutes. Yet more alive than ever. Thank you Mr.Crosby!
Gained a new appreciation for David's songwriting and playing
There's nothing or no one like the one and only DAVID CROSBY. I have much respect for this individual. I'm just a nobody but I would love having a few moments to meet him and thank him for his contribution to all the beautiful music he has made..
Great program. Thank You.
Hes now dead without JESUS.
You know where he is right?
Too late...never put off telling someone how much they mean to you, family, friend, teachers, celebrities. We aren't promised tomorrow
Really?! 🙄🙈
David Crosby may have done some of his best work in the last 8 or so
so years. i just loved him, & now he’s gone missing. you know he had to, i guess it was his time. except you never want it to come.
He became just so sweet
& generous with his words & his time in the last few years of his life-
from judging joints on twitter to an advice column for Rolling Stone Magazine. One
of the most inspired song writers of his generation.
Those of us who grew up with him will miss him.
i Salute you David Crosby!
I am so thankful that David Crosby lived to be as old as he has and to share as much of his talent as he has. I often wonder what John Lennon could have given to us, and I get an idea from watching the genius of Crosby.
Just love this man to death.
With you on that.
I cried the night Lennon died... did the same thing when Crosby died
If I could only remember my name. Such a wonderful classic. Every song is so full of creative wonder.Those were awesome days. Everything was new and full of life. Deja Vu ,Just such a masterpiece.
RIP David Crosby, thanks for all the music you had done for us, a legend is now gone but his music goes on forever.❤🙏(❤´艸｀❤)
He is just a beautiful human being and says it all with his music. Thank you for being in our world.
David Crosby rest in peace
If only I could remember my name???
Crosby has a great sense of humor and was probably a blast to hang out with.
Aybe when he wasn't psychotically high on crack
His second phase with his son.... is just phenomenal!
I will miss him.
I started missing him the second I heard the somber news..still teary
May you rest in peace David
What a gem of an interview by Paul Zollo of David Crosby. Such an intelligent, passionate, funny and insightful poet and songwriter. Fascinating mention of his love of the Everly Brothers - same love of the Everly Brothers was expressed by Graham Nash and Alan Clarke (from the Hollies). ❤. Rest in Peace, we all miss you, David.
Awesome Singer Performer Songwriter Still Listen To David Crosby Rest In Peace Amen
I 💝 how he talks about neil pulling up in his car and singing those songs and how blown away he was. Neil is definately also a treasure. In a league of his own.
But he's dead to me.
His skill, talent and love continued thru to the last day of his life..God I miss him..been 2 days now😢💔
1/28/2023. This show of your series with David Crosby is like gold now. Thank you.
I left my heart at Laurel Canyon! David Crosby's talent & impact are forever. We loved the guy. * Cav *
David Crosby is so articulate and that comes through in his lyric writing which uses allegory exceptionally well. Couple that with his sense of harmony and that makes for music that lasts probably well beyond his time here on the planet. His politics is not to everyone’s taste but that’s ok. He’s not ramming it down people’s throat.
Thank you so much for putting this up on CZcams as it is so enlightening.
This was a perfect capture of Crosby.
R.I.P Croz, we love you.
Maybe the hardest to get along with in the band, but his ear was the finest. His composition was the most complex. His voice is such a beautiful instrument
Overshadowed by Young and Stills and crippled by his addiction. His music however is seeing a new level of recognition. Deja Vu was a masterpiece.
Couldn't tie Still's shoes.Crosby didn't write 1 good song by himself.NO TALENT. The male YOKO ONO
He doesn't even know where he is.If he still has the guns he was arrested with maybe he will.shoot himself.
Composition?Crosby wrote embarrassing lyrics for flakes.
@@randallkennedy2066 Please point me to your body of work. :)
Randall Kennedy I'm not the biggest Crosby fan, but suggesting that he kill himself shows what a horrible human being you are. I feel sorry for you. You need to seek help.
They are all getting up there and I have been dreading the day we start hearing the names of our heros leaving us....😔...hell I'm in my 60s.....you never know when.......we grew up with the greatest of the greats!! Time is short.....I really hope they can all make up and at least be on good terms before it's too late.....
David you are a good human being you has given back more than you took so THANK YOU 🙏 for the Gifts that keeps on Giving! May go things continue to come to your lift David! 🙏👋❤️🤗
RIP, David. Love your songs; love your harmonies.
I got to see him at The Doheny Blues Festival on the beach of Dana Point . Right after I moved from Aspen. Music is a big part of my life.
The most beautiful voice. Hearing him sing is warm honey
That is the best description.
RIP David. Will always cherish the moments we met, back in 89. Am speechless 😢
TDC?
I never really heard David sitting and playing and interacting with a room full of people. He is only one of the 3 or 4 musicians in CSN, no wonder their careers went over 40 years, Amazing!
It's heartbreaking that we lost David💔
He’s been my guiding light for harmonies…may I forever do justice to his vocal memory🧡
David Crosby, Forever Loved, Forever Missed, Forever Remembered ❤❤
So glad I got to see Crosby and Nash at Stanford in 1976. A huge part of my growing up.
I was there!
What a great musician, twice with Crosby Stills Nash & Young, and three times with just Crosby, Stills and Nash. May their music live in Infinitesimally🎤 🎸 🥁 🎼 🎶 🎵
Don’t leave out the Byrd’s, even though, in my mind the group ended, when he was no longer on the cover.
One of best memories as a person was tripping with my woman and listening to David's album on vinyl with traction in the rain on it. My woman and I loved on each other for the whole album like never before. It was amazing.
David Crosby had such a funny sense of humor. I could listen to him all day. Great storyteller. Great music and the best harmony singer
Safe travels, Croz.... miss you already. ⛵♥🎶
When I was 15 at Woodstock we listened to CSNY all the way up to New York and then again on the way back! What a great time in life! ✌⛵❤
Tell me more stories of that summer. I was half a year old, but that music is my thread. Please tell me more...
Gosh, such a beautiful Soul. Thank you forever Croz💖 .
CSNY will live on in harmonic infamy and in our hearts and minds for forever.
Sad he is gone. He stirred up trouble here in the ATL but not everyone booed I was at that show.Anyway he was cool. RIP Croz
I studied piano for many years, and piano was for me almost always a solo endeavor.
But later in life I found that my greatest joy comes from playing/singing in an ensemble with other musicians.
What an amazing life and a giant talent.
Since very young I loved above all your weird songs about love ! such a special
deep poet David Crosby
One of the greatest rock and roll bands in the world Crosby stills Nash and Young the best ever
I adore Croz. Always have, always will. ❤
shit... what took me so long .... back in the day all i wanted to be was a friggen wankin lead guitar player ....... way back in the 60,s shoulda paid more attention to the great folk and vocal groups and songwriters .... now i get it .. crosby is one of us ..love his pet names .... his humbleness ... stick around crosby .... love everything your doin . took me a long time but im a fan now
a couple of years ago one of Crosby's songs saved me.
Far away in time and place but to me that song he wrote, to me it was central and made me be able to live though some bad time.
A time later i heard about If I Could Only Remember My Name.
As a DJ of northern soul.
I'd like to know which one... It may leave me 'Laughing".
Almost Cut My Hair(:
Yes,that c.d is in my vintage music collection right there with Rod Stewart!!!!
My wife also loved him,and she taught me to acquire a strong taste for their music, David's especially!!!!
If only I could remember my name is the best!!!!!!
One of my earliest recollections of harmonizing was CSN, Carole King, and James Taylor. When I could go to concerts I oftentimes had to go alone because no one else had money. I absolutely loved the energy I felt at each one. I understand.
My husband (rip) and I loved you best when we were in High School, and then we saw you after we were married, 😍
then we saw Graham and now our grand children love you too!💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
I met you at the Beverly Hills Hotel Fundraiser where my daughter's children's choir sang.
Thank you for what you've given the 🌎 world and God bless you and yours!
I loved your movie it really was more than I expected so moving and quite inspirational!
A real keeper!
I've listened when i was 14 years Young. and Now i'm 61 and still a big fan. I love them, playing and singing together but also seperatly they are great!
Long Time Gone…..one of my faves. 🐈⬛😎
RIP David Crosby. Troubled life but great musician.
Greatness comes from pain
One of the greatest american musicians of our era. Mr. David Crosby. What a voice.

jesaliga DAVID CROSBY IS CRAP TO ME
LordoftheJimmy your mom what???
CSNY Real music of our time. After the 60's, the 70's were a big downer for me, but their songs got me through it. Never met them except maybe it was Stephen who gave me a ride around Boulder Colorado. At least it sure looked like him, anyway, anyhow, they will always have a place in my heart.
Jack Sprat Met him in Poughkeepsie, NY after a show. 1989. Was pretty blown away, actually. I'm always surprised when I hear stories of him being difficult - because on that day he was anything but. Very warm and gracious person.
Stills hung out near Boulder for a while
@@mcdee56 he must have been driving for uber
Stephen Stills lived in Caribou just up the gulch from Boulder in the early 70s during the Manassas years I believe.
Great great great show!! Voice still beautiful loved every second of this show🧡
Thank you for sharing this with the world.
Missing you David Crosby 😢 I've always loved your music, writing ✍️ how you put it altogether. Today's generation has no clue what real music sounds like. Listening to the story that is being told, no foul language or nasty dancers showing off their privates. David's music is about reality, politics love. Prayers to his family. We have lost a legend! R.I.P David Crosby, play your Beautiful music to the Angeles!
I freakin love the Croz !! ❤️✌️
Thank You David!
He still has that magic
Hey Croz!! We fucking love you man, your a legend💜💙💛❤✌😍👽
Love this..... Delta...... what an amazing song.... talking about making me feel something...... tears..... reminds me of my mother taking her last dance with her sweet Felix,,,, not knowing they would die 13 days apart, only 2 months after that dance......yes,,,,, it makes me feel something...... they loved each other so much......
I saw David Crosby at show one time and I threw my lacy black bra on the stage and he put it on it was so much fun I can't tell you! Rest in peace I love you David.
I know, you were drunk and thought it was a Tom Jones show.🙄
@@jg6698 no I was smoking and it was a blast!
@@julierundlett2736 ha ha. I bet it was!
Gorgeous version of Deja Vu.
I used to think he was the least talented of the four. ( SYNC )
But now, i think he was the quiet genius lurking in the back so to speak. When i heard his solo album from prison....i realized. The" glue" indeed.
And the Bush, nucular thing...total agreement.
A couple of geniuses the top qualification for being in charge of our nuclear arsenal, Get a brain, have you been to the south or to England or India. Words are pronounced differenlty all the time it is the least qualification in fact probably no qualification at all,
R.I.P. David. ☮&♥ forever.
☘ Irish Honey Badger - I miss this man already.
This is such a wonderful interview. I think that sometimes David can cross the line from witty to sarcastic (which is not a good thing), but in this interview, he stays on the correct side of the line that allows for him to truly shine.
What's wrong with sarcasm? Nyers have it down to a science. And proud of it.
Happy 75th Birthday David Crosby
All along the lee shore..... shells lie scattered in the sand...... bless u bless u bless u
Very good interview! It's refreshing to know that he views The Beatles in much the same way. How does one go from, 8 Days a Week to Eleanor Rigby in 2 years?
We will miss the Love in your song's
R.I.P. DAVID .....
Since I, like many with whom I've spoken, believe there is nothing closer to God in this life than the music of love, and since David Crosby is just about the finest musician known to me, having delivered, I believe, just about the finest music known to man, I find he scares me somewhat.
Between his talent, intellect, insight and ability to convey such a phenomenal perspective through his music and to the rest of us, It's like having a small amount of God in our presence.
No doubt he (David) would balk at the thought, but let me just say, in true humility do we most clearly see a reflection of the mind & heart of God, for God is love.
David Crosby is a little piece of the sun as we all are. He shines brightly this time around. He introduced me to the concept of Deja Vu and it changed me, many of us. Deja Vu is the first step towards understanding our own eternity. It can mature us in a way that nothing else can.
"Find the cost of Freedom, buried in the ground---Mother Earth will swallow you, Lay your body down"!!
Yes!
I know u most certainly didnt grow up in the 60s or 70s
@@lastnamefirst4035 ❤️
Not only a great singer and musician, but an engaging raconteur also.
So, You hate America too?
bobcat williams he said the opposite. Ppl who love war hate america. Ppl who start wars to make a reason to implement tax cuts are evil. Gw, reagan and his iran contra, senior bush helped kuwait escape the wrath of hussein for OIL only, and now asshat trump wants to go to war. We know who really hates america.
David's harmonies were otherworldly when he was with the Byrds and CS&N and Y.
R.I.P. Croz - your Music, and incredible Vocal-harmonies will live-on Forever.
What a brilliant mind! Missed to the power of 10. Good interviewer too!
I saw CSN in 1982. David Crosby not in the best shape, but it was still obvious why his name came first.
Thank you for your very nice voice and god pless you for many many years
