- Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young perform "Almost Cut My Hair" at the Farm Aid concert in Bristow, Virginia on September 17, 2000.
Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do? - Hudba

Just started to listen to Crosby, Stills,Nash and Young in 2023! Didn't know what i was missing! These guy's are Fantastic! RIP David Crosby.
Don't get me wrong, I listened to their music... But never really LISTENED!
Came here on this day to hear David Crosby live with these guys. RIP to him and his heavenly harmonies.
Totally agree and I’m jealous you were there
Every time you put Neil Young on the stage with C S N , it brings an intense level of energy to the group as a whole

I'd miss Crosby over Young's "Take down Joe Rogan's ideas on the damage of vaccines" any day but together is when they definitely work best.
They got me through the 70's. The band was not above or below us, but with all it's faults and genius, honestly one of us. Listening to their music, always made me feel like we were part of a larger family, learning, struggling, celebrating, not giving into greed or ignorance, but reminding what life was and what could be. So glad they got a lot of it recorded. Peace and Love to the family and beyond....carry on
Such as awesome post! I agree 100%.
Beautifully stated 🙏
I agree; I came back from Nam and fifteen days later was back in college in Statesboro and I played their vinyl the next couple of years having fun.
Amen, Brother!
Crosby, Stills und Nash und Neil Young war eine großartige Band
Wir hatten in den 70ern im Osten 2 LPs von CSNY und haben die fast komplett nachgespielt. Es war einfach eine fantastische Zeit, weil auch die Fans diese Musik geliebt haben - ich liebe sie heute noch.
Every time I think about maybe cutting off my long, gray, thinning hair I run into this song. Sixty-eight and STILL can’t seem to conform to the societal norms that I DO NOT RELATE TO. Thank you, David, for this wonderful trip down memory lane. RIP
This song is one of the best at expressing the culture and attitudes in 1970. In my top 10 favorite songs. Back when this song came out I did not cut my hair for three years, Then my job was more important so I cut it. Now I am happily retired. I haven't cut my hair in over ten years..... I have been fortunate to see C.S.N. Live 3 times. They did this awesome tune each time and the crowd loves it. The last show was at Doubleday Field Cooperstown N.Y. and I recorded the show in full HD 5.1 surround sound The recording is awesome. Have a Splendid Successful Day
Seeing Stills and Young clearly enjoying themselves was icing on the cake. One of the best Farm Aids ever.
I recently cut my hair and my ears got longer.
I never get enough of Stephen & Neil playing guitar together. It's magic every time.
Remember when CSNY broke up, Stills and Young released an album together and Nash and Crosby released an album together? They picked the person they meshed with the best. Neil and Stephen always have meshed together both as guitarists and lyricists.
It's why Stills wanted Young in the group. Nash didn't want to do anything to change the perfection of their unique vocal harmonies. He met Young and asked him why they should invite him to be part of the group. Young asked him if he had ever heard him and Young play guitars together. Nash said that he had, and the group became CSNY.
David once said the first time he heard Neil sing, he wanted him in the band.
It's the very best hey!!~~~~
About six years ago my beautiful 40 yr old daughter called me to say she had listened to this and loved it. Makes an old Dad feel good!
One word describing David Crosby unapologetic...........after being in 2 of the most popular bands of our time he had that talent burning.
close your eyes and imagine this performance at woodstock and it totally works...yeah i know this came out in 70...but just do it :) it's worth it
"Almost cut my hair" is such a profound statement.
What can anyone say !!!! Crosby ,,, Stills ,,, Nash. Young …. A collective of total genius ,,,, each one of them has amazing albums behind them. And this track is sublime !!!! For anyone who hasn’t heard IF ONLY I COULD REMEMBER MY NAME …. Crosby ,,,, my go to album … just listen ,,,, then the rest of these guys work. INCREDIBLE IS THE WORD G
If I Could Only Remember my Name has one track on it that I know was absolutely Cosmic, I'm not sure if it was the title track or not, but I'm going to have to go back and investigate that Bloody album from top to bottom because that was my go-to album for a while ...that and Tracy Nelson Down So Low.... some of the other unknown lights and luminaries on the San Francisco scene starting with Naughty Women, the cross dressing band that had Izzy Stradlin playing drums, and who later put together Guns and Roses ....and then all the way up to the Chambers Brothers, Zolar X and Automatic Man ....Michael Shrieve's band that truly was the first real black super group in the Bay Area after Sly and the Family Stone, all measured up besides Hendrix's Band of Gypsies ...but worthy of the name, way before Living Color of course, although my hat goes off to them as well.... and of course the Bad Brains .... total badass players ....
My beautiful mom passed away fine years ago on Nov 30th, Neil you're music is giving love,
There was no better time to be of this age. Born 1963. Ear phones please
RIP David Crosby. What a fantastic live performance from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young ! 🎤🎷🎸🎹🎺🥁
Times are such that almost every week one of our old rock gods or goddesses dies. And in western countries there is hardly any prospect of offspring. If you ask a 17-year-old about rock and heavy metal today, you'll get the answer: "Ahh rock, is that these 80-year-old great-grandfathers?" "And heavy metal, is that those 60 year old grandpas?" 5 generations invented this music, made it big, enjoyed it and now we let it die ???
Support the next generation dear friends, buy music from young rock and metal artists from all over the world !!!🙏🤘🙏
Yes right!
Artists like this who stood up for what's right and stuck it to the man are desperately needed today. Nobody has balls anymore.
❤
R.I.P., David. Man, Stephen was feeling it this night.
Do not cry for the immortal ..they will be here long after the rest of us are dust. the best of us all?
He used to play this when he "lived" in my hometown...the warden hated it.
Great David Crosby
Neil Young is Craaaaaazy❗️❗️
Biggest of All the Electric Heroes....Epic Song and Performance❗️❗️🎸🎸🎸🎹😲😲😲❗️🔝🔝🔝❗️🇨🇦🇺🇸🇺🇸
David Crosby ,Steven Stills ,Neil Young und Graham Nasch waren eine großartige Band
David's voice and music will probably outlive humanity..csny all the guys have a huge footprint on modern music. When i first heard this music about 50yrs ago I figured I'd listening to when I was old.
What a wonderful time to be on this planet at this exact time and listening to the gifts Crosby Stills Nash & Young has given us in the world
They should go on stage together for a last time before it's too late. This troubled world needs them to perform again more than ever.
I been listening to crosby, stills, Nash and young since 1970, I'm 66, still a hippie, the real breed? My people matter when the next Woodstock happens!
Woodstock 1969 USA later all LP and later CD nou make music in heaven Rest in Peace we still listen your music Amen
God DAMN right!! It's been my anthem, my mantra, my raison d'être since the moment this song hit the airwaves. It was a message for the Aquarian Age, baby and now it's finally here. Above all else, establish a moral code to live by, and in doing so, be as authentic and honest with yourself as possible. It becomes a shield of honor and protection, yet it raises the frequency and vibration of the entire planet. Get on it people times a wastin'.
I concur! Well said.
I needed to hear/see this video today. Right now. This moment. I had been searching for a more "classic" performance of this Crosby anthem, but once I watched this Farm Aid clip, I was reduced to tears of joy and sadness. This is a powerful performance to begin with, but given Mr. Crosby's passing, its power is multiplied x100.
Well said.
I love how Donald Duck Dunn hides in the background, holds the whole song together with the drummer. "These guys ain't too bad." 😎
Amazing music. It's a shame that they are gradually leaving us and with them our youth.
David Crosby was a great singer-song writer and he will be missed 😢
I'm proud to be a middle aged hippie. I grew up in Santa Cruz and Santa Clara California, about an hour from Golden Gate Park and the Hate Ashbury. I was there for every moment of the life and love. I miss the life and music. I'm 70 nowadays but still hang and love my real 💓 music. ROCK AND ROLL.
I now hail from a Florida address, where's the music? JW
THX! AGAIN! ! He Spoke Truth in His Book...Rest my Friend...
How arid would life be without Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, they are the soundtrack to a life. Just as relevant, just as good.
This was 20 years ago, folks. Goodness gracious. ...and say what you want about him, but David Crosby is an absolute genius.
Yaaawhooo right on rockin out forever
I’ve loved the Cros for all these years.
He's a POS and was carried by three much more talented musicians.
@@sgt.thundercok4704 Carried? Sure, but Nash is probably not a POS.
I know there was a lot of drama surrounding CSN&Y, but let's face it, they are (were) all incredibly driven musicians, very strong personalities, very, very talented, and when they really played together, it was magical. And let's acknowledge the GOAT on bass - Donald 'Duck' Dunn. Yes, I love Phil and Mike, but Donald 'Duck' Dunn was a legend.
Yes, Donald passed away too young, only 70 just read...
RIP David Crosby, this is one of my favorite song ever, " almost cut my hair " , but you never did it..... so long
In one year, they changed music forever. ❤❤
They never were together for more than year at a time.
Gotta love Neil's reaction to Stills takin' the paint off the walls. Pure rock joy.
Deja Vu one of the finest albums of all time
Just noticing that a lot of the music was bluesy really. This music took me through the seventies.....thanks David and Yall
RIP David Crosby, I will miss you very much as a fan of C,S,N&Y.😢😢💔✌🙏
Rip David Crosby. This is my favorite song!
The boy I enjoyed this with has been dead a while, died an old man working for the government. And it don’t matter. We loved it together and now I remember him being 18. Music does it most powerfully, this keeping old lovers alive.
I think it is very generous for all you to regard N.Young as a guitar player.
No worries. Top 10 of all time.
Brings a tear to the eye
I remember hearing this song for the first time in the early 1970’s, the simple lyrics struck me deep. In a few lines it captured the troubled times and in the last verse it offered a philosophy of life. In this video from Farm Aid 2000, Crosby is singing it with all the agony and ecstasy of his life. The guitar solos and spirit are brilliant. I’ve watched this many times and each time is like the first.
still young at 65 and still believe in peace love and music. the music of this generation will never be matched. I'm proud to have passed my love to my awesome sons and grandson. Hippie's forever
From meeting up in north western Ontario to Farm Aid,quite a trip for Young and Stills.
Steve rocked this! Good bye David, rock on- and say HI to your brother!
I barely ever see David Crosby perform live but let me tell ya,he is at his very, VERY best vocally right here and let's not forget just how great a guitarist STEVEN STILLS is.... AMAZING!!
Oakland Coliseum in 2000
I’m barely 39 and it nearly brings tears to my eyes listening to this and knowing music like this is no longer made. For all the old times here, thank you for paving the way for some of us to follow in. May you all be blessed with many years of letting that freak flag fly!
It’s a genuine shame that artists like this are gone. I’ve lived through that era, blessed well, except for going to Vietnam but it’s all good man a lot of us survived.
To P.Gazza. While there are still people like you, who get it, ad understand, then everything they have done will go on!
@@downsouth9146 They're not gone yet.
Get your head out of the sand. Check out Ty Segall. Try “And, Goodnight” first. Most similar to this type of jam. RIP Crosby.
It does bring tears to my eyes. RIP David Crosby
RIP David Crosby - because of you, I did not cut my hair.
First heard this song in about '70 or so. Had hair back then, in high school. Meant something to me then as today.
R.I.P. David Crosby. A legend in the days of Woodstock. I love his work with the Byrds, and of course with CSN&Y. My band has been playin this song for many years, and it's one of my favorites to play. This, along with Wooden Ships and Woodstock, are my favorite songs that he was a part of. He will be missed!🎸🎤🎵
Crosby vocals on this, best ever; anywhere, anytime.
Never appreciated what a great lead guitarist NY is. The rifts were brilliant.
Are you joooking neil is one of the best lead guitarists of all time! theres a live video of him doing 'like a hurricane' with crazy horse in 86 where he's on fire.
THE MOST BESTEST men to do the best ON STAGE,,, I doesn't get any better than this -----ROCK ICONS.,. we should treasure FOREVER -- RIP David Crosby - you were the founding father of ths most wonderul era - that this lady I SOooooo grateful.........we had it SO DANG GOOD .........keep rockin on people xxxxxx
YOU INFLUENCED MY LIFE
How lucky are Crosby, Stills , Nash And Young to be on stage with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young?
The hippies were right...about almost everything. Where did the momentum go from that time? 63 still a hippie and proud of it!
me too and i am seventy.
The momentum died when the Stones stupidly hired the Hells Angels as "security" at the Altamount, CA concert, Dec. 1969, 4 months after Woodstock. It was the opposite of "3 days of peace, love, and music." It was generally called "R&R's worst day in history," by Rolling Stone Magazine. The violence destroyed the myth of "a new generation of flower power." By early-mid 70's, we reverted back to the dancing of the 50's, with a new name.... disco. The end.
@Dfw Fqdefqw I do know. I was there and lived it. You have no sense of history.
Bill Brandine - you pegged it brother!
@@billbrandine5857 Especially Abba and Bee Gees killed the serious pop-music. Before, there was an attempt to make great music, an attempt to tell a story, but now - from 1972 and after, the only thing that counted was to make a number one hit.
This is heaven. Long live them all! Rock gods.
I was hippy now I'm a o.g. and a old head. I 💘 love this song. .HENDRIX. I HAD TO WRITE HIS NAME. YEAH BABY. YEAH BABY. YEAH BABY
Steven Stills was and still is one of the greatest vocalist and musicians ever
That's David Crosby singing.
No doubt, friend. Stephen Stills is a giant.
@@johnplink true fan that he is huh 😂
Rest in peace ✌️ David. This is my favorite song of yours! ❤️
Imagine being a fly on the wall for their jams. They are so tight for not playing together all of time.
The days of classic rock are slowly going away. D.o.b 7/58
We desperately need a music movement badly in this day and age I feel it in my bones
This is what it's all about. What a fine band.
I hear you, man
@It’s just a bean_ Lord Straight business my brother. I think we need real musicians, playing real instruments, in front of a live audience, and the music is telling us a story. If that's the movement you are referring to, I'm in! My brother be well and safe, peace to you and yours.
@@maf5454 What boggles my mind, is, people have tuned out so far away from real instruments. I sent, "Picture Book' by The Kinks to a lady friend and she said, "I don't like this...there's too many beats" Ugh!
@@maf5454 (
Great performance by all !!! Steven stills playing that guitar like he is trying to break something. Love it!!👍🏻👍🏻✌✌
Almost crying ... What has this world became... PPL, I wanna trust in You again n again .... All my Love send to You from Xtrem FarWest of France....😊✌✌✌👍🤝🤝🤝✊👏👏👏
🗣 This is a *Legendary song* of the flower power generation of the 70s
Incredible musicians and songwriters. I miss those days
I still remember and feel the impact of this song in the late '60s.
Man, I hear ya. So do I miss those days, so do I.
I truly did "almost cut my hair today", momentary loss of sanity for a minute
God Bless and God rest your Soul, Maestro!
Wow! Completely forgot about this song. When I realized that Crosby Stills and Young were going to do it I totally went into shock. I love it. And to hear them playing it live, now, I closed my eyes and it was just like listening to it 50 years ago. I almost lite a joint but forgot I haven’t smoked for a long while. And Nash.
Wow !!! Legend , so much talent , incredible song , what a voice !! Wherever you are now David , your star will shine forever , Thank you for all your music and poetry 😢❤❤ we love you
David Crosby will live on in Songs of his spirit, but will be missed.
This was 22 years ago . I believe they are all still with us today . Stills looks like he was having a blast
Stills and Young were awesome together really got the best out of each other
Saw this tour at Staples Center in L.A. and Crosby was just ON it the whole night. The energy and life coming from him was unforgettable.
These guys didn't write songs. They wrote anthems !
Don't know if this counts as David's best song - there's at least three or four great contenders, but this is my oersonal fave; the one that still brings tears to my eyes( I'm typing with wet cheek now). It captures the shared vision and dreams we all had, and we told each other so by simply not cutting our hair for a few years. One of the many fantastic cuts on the greatest hippie album of all time - Deja Vu.
Sure, like so many, by the time the 70s finished I had cut my hair. It was even shortish in the 80s and 90s. However, now, in the second "roaring 20s" - not a roaring non-stop party this time, but the recurrent roar for social and environmental change, and to stop yet another war - I'm letting my "freak flag fly" again.
People, the world still needs us, more than ever. Let's keep the dreams alive and turn them into reality!
Dave - your spirit still lives on in millions of beating true hearts - you will never be forgotten. Love ya, man. ✌&❤ forever.
DAYUM! David sounds just as good as he did on the album! These guys made some of the ABSOLUTE BEST music to come out of the 60's!
44
An entire generation will be missing David's incredible skill and creativity; he, along with the rest of the group, helped to shape the man I've become, and I am eternally grateful.
The good old days when they all got along...
What an awesome performance! Miss you already David.
Still Letting my ”Freak Flag Fly” at 72 here in Sydney, Australia. Hoping you can get a positive change in the US come November and rise again. Stay Safe. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you brother God-bless you
It will happen!
There is a big difference between the 60's generation and the millenials of today.
My generation was fighting against the establishment for all of the oppressed. The millenials have been indoctrinated in public schools along with the aid of propagandist MSM into fighting along racial lines.
If we don't join together, we are doomed!
@@markz5505
Ouch.
The TRUTH almost hurts.
Hope the same for Melbourne; we all live in strange times now, I wonder what's next -
Im 61, Brazilian, and I dont know very well what being a freak flag mean but I think Im one.
The best years ever of good music. 60s,70s.
That's why I love She radio,Classic Rock Florida. They remember me of tge good times when freedom really existed.
My sister let me try here. I'm 68 and have tried my best to live by the following. If you believe that everyone should be allowed to think, and act in a way that doesn't hurt or interfere with anyone else you might be flying your freak flag. I think this includes treating everyone with respect and dignity that you would like to be treated. I also believe that at some point in your life and probably during you entire life you should be willing to help other people and creatures when they hit a rough patch. I think it breaks down to this everyone has their own ideas and life style, yours and mine may not match very well but I have to allow you to be you and you have to allow me to be me. I think that's what makes my freak flag fly, how about you? My sister, be well and safe, peace to you and yours
@@maf5454 thank you for your answer.
I loved it.
I do my best to have my freak flag flying
started to grow my hair out when I saw the Beatles in 66' at 10 yrs old. School, Cops, people walking down the street....you name it. I got major grief until the mid-70's when it started to die down. Now at 64 I still got hair over my shoulders....LUV this song.
There will never be or was ever 4 people who sounded so good together
RIP David Crosby, te escucho desde mis 16 años, hoy tengo 68 y te sigo escuchando !!!!!!!!!!
Tampa, Fla,s own Steven Stills!! They all made a fantastic group!! I use to jam on them dudes every day!!! Suite Judy Blue Eyes. Right after I got married in 1970. What Times I had. Im so very sorry Janice. Rock Out!!!!😊
❤ David Crosby, awesome!🎉
What a firecracker exploding rendition this was!!!! All time most rocking version I have ever heard!!!!!!!!!????? Yeah!!!!!
That was moving. Today's music has no heart, whereas this is all heart.
Rest in Peace Mr David Crosby.
Wow Steven can. Play that guitar 🎸 as good as Anyone..yeah ❤...!❤✌️✌️
