- These videos are from a September 11 1970 half hour television performance Graham and David did for the BBC.
It was right after CSNY had finished their famous...or infamous... four way street summer tour. with stories of epic melt downs and cosmic feedings between them all, the all star endeavor which had only began two years prior had all but imploded on itself.
Fortunately, all of the guys didn't abandon their relationships all together. Neil recruited Stephen, David, and Graham for backing vocals on After the Gold Rush and Harvest. Crosby invited, among other amazing musicians, Nash, and Young to sing and play on his consummate album If I Could Only Remember My Name.
(Interestingly, of all the musicians David invited to play on his album: Nash, Young, Jerry Garcia,Phil Lesh, Mickey Hart,Bill Kreutzmann, Jorma Kaukonen, Joni Mitchell, Grace Slick, David Freiberg, Paul Kantner, Jack Casady, Gregg Rolie, and Michael Shrieve...missing was Stephen Stills)
Of all the members of CSNY David and Graham's relationship seemed to be the one that stayed most friendly. In these videos you can really see how jovial and genuinely humorous they were with each other and with their audience. not to mention their majestic vocal blending. (the two part harmonies, which sound like five part, on Guinnevere and Song With no Words are particularly mind blowing)
If you dig this flavor of Crosby and Nash i would recommend finding a copy of their 10/10/1971 live recording Another Stoney Evening if you haven't already.

"This is another one of David's sea songs.."
The girl with the long hair sitting in the left corner at about 1:18 is awesome. i dig.
---------------------------------------- --------
"[Following the break up] Crosby and Nash embarked on a successful acoustic tour accompanied only by their own guitars and piano, captured for the document Another Stoney Evening.
On tour, Nash and Crosby rediscovered the joy they had felt with CSN at first, minus the egotistic in-fighting that had made the last CSNY shows so difficult. That enthusiasm led to the studio for their first album as a duo, a mix of abstract introspection from Crosby and concise pop tunes from Nash prosaically entitled Graham Nash David Crosby, which peaked at #4 on the pop album chart." - Hudba
Maybe the best sound these two ever had together? This video is memorable in it's haunting beauty. RIP Mr. David Crosby
What a loss today. The voice of a generation indeed. Rest in peace, David. What you have shared with this world will never be forgotten. I am gutted.
Yes. RIP, Croz. Thanks só much
He would not want you to be gutted he would want you to be that blue bird and soar !
"But perhaps I'll see you the next quiet place - I furl my sails"
Sail on in peace Captain⛵
Into the sun Davis
Crosby no doubt has one of most beautiful male voices of the century.
Complètement d'accord avec toi, I totaly agree with you. If I could only remember my name, is one of the best recording from theese glorious times.
I totally agree. And I was a vocal coach until had to quit due to health… plus a singer and pianist. I don’t say this lightly.. Crosby’s voice is just so pure and natural and UNUSUALLY beautiful. It’s a glorious voice and the world doesn’t even know that. Sad. But we do. 😉
I also agree about If I Could Only Remember My Name.
Listen to him singing lead on The Byrds track, Everybody’s Been Burned. It’s just too beautiful, it almost hurts.
Absolutely!! I agree!!
Greatest high harmony in the history of rock music. Too bad the voice coexisted with a severely disharmonious personality that was the ruin of so many constructive relationships, including the one featured in this video, but far more importantly, with all members of The Byrds, a group of far greater significance, both talent-wise and in the grand scheme of American popular music, than CSNY.
Yes, he does. I’m really glad I was born at the right time to have his music as a friend all my life.
Is there anything out there today even remotely close to the brilliance of this? I think not. I feel ever so fortunate to have been in my youth too with these guys. So many great memories.
Came back to this as soon as I heard about David's passing. Such en immensely talented man.
I've heard this song, without exaggeration, at least 3000 times. I never tire of it and it always blows me away.
I was at this recording at the BBC centre...it was a magical evening...Crosby was more than a little stoned....warm memories
Rest in Peace David Crosby! I just heard the news and I have to listen to this one, because it just might be your best! This song is so beautiful! He and Nash really had something special- there was something magical when they sang together!
We saw Crosby three years ago in a small theater. Just him and a guitar tech changing out guitars. His voice sounded like he was in his mid-thirties. What a fulfilling show.
David Crosby has such a great voice and his songs are pure GENIUS.
The perfection of their voices is unmatched today. Considering the insanity and grief Crosby had been through at the time he wrote this -- Christine Hinton having died in a car crash. This must of been a bit of a balm on his soul.
Every time I listen to this song, I remember the peace I'd feel when I would be on the water. Late at night when you couldn't tell where the sky ended and the sea began -- There is a peace to be found that seems to not be anywhere else.....
My wife and I have always loved this song. My brother will be singing it at her memorial service in a few days. She'd love that.
@@Noel-bs8zn🙏 🕯
From here to Venezuela nothing more to see than a 100,000 islands flung like jewels upon the sea for you and me. To sail that run is still on my bucket list. Yes, I love this song. Excellent version.
ABSOLUTE MAGIC, I WEEP WHEN I HEAR THIS, EVERY SINGLE TIME, IT STILL MOVES ME TO TEARS,AND I AM 55 NOW,WAS A CHILD WHEN IT CAME OUT, PEACE BROTHERS AND SISTERS ✌👍😥🙂💜❣
Me too. It take me somewhere else. Such a pure and passionate song.
There is NOTHING like nostalgia. I do it every day.
Same here! And Peace to you as well, especially in these trying times!
took my wife to harbour island Bahamas walked along the pink sand beach one night and played this one for her just fit ya know
RIP David Crosby
Crosby may b whacked out of his mind, but good god man is he on when it comes to playing and singing...like a god. Beautiful images in the mind poetry second to none.
oh! never has David sounded so beautiful.....I thank them both and Stephen too, for all the joy they bring me.
And Nash has to be one of the best every harmony singers.
"But perhaps I'll see you
The next quiet place
I furl my sails..."
That is brilliant and beautiful.
It's been 50 years and this song still moves me with each hearing. No one other than David Crosby writes like this.
An absolute genius. Thanx, Croz!
RIP good friend David Crosby !!! You gave us Many years of Great Music !!!!
Rest in Eternal Peace David...thanks for your contributions 1/18/2023
Nash and Crosby! A treasurechest of Harmony! RIP David Crosby! Thank YOU!
What a gift to humanity, ,Vokal harmony Setting ,and Songwriting !
I am pretty sure Graham Nash will miss the harmony that he and David Crosby did together just like this one. R.I.P. David and thank you for sharing your life and music to us all. You may have left but your music will CARRY ON.......
He has voice d recently so.. very sad
Sometimes their harmonies are so sweet they bring a tear to your eye...
Crosby's voice sounds like an choir boy. Just beautiful
I so agree!
I’ve loved CSNY in any combination for decades. This song is so mesmerisingly beautiful. It transports you to a serene, tranquil voyage on the warm and sunny Caribbean Sea. ❤️
Simply beautiful ...two pure voices blending together as one. RIP David Crosby.
Et mon adolescence s'étiole dans vent. Hier j'étais si jeune, que ne me suis-je réveillé si vieux ce matin, ma vie comme un déjeuner de soleil, merci de l'avoir si souvent enveloppé de vos voix, votre musique, j'emmènerais avec moi ces éternités.
One of the most beautiful songs. Incredible.
Wow....Crosby has the most beautiful voice.
The two of them together were magic.
My all time favorite song. I hope when I die, people will play it at my wake. What a wonderful band. What wonderful people. God bless you all.
The version on the Crosby Stills and Nash boxed set is probably the best I've ever heard ENJOY
Wow you just gave me an idea to do the same thing. Perfect sendoff song.
Agreed
I think about it too
I told my family that years ago...Sent them all this video.
Some gentleman on Facebook turned me on to Lee Shore. What a wonderful gift. David Crosby had the most beautiful voice. Can’t get enough of Lee Shore ✌️💞🎶
No matter how old this song is its still great
That's a real beauty. David Crosby's lead vocals are really something. Wow. Better than any hip-hop or other crap of today.
stated fourteen years ago and sadly, it's as true as ever.
Listened to this song easily over a thousand times in my life. Had the vinyl, cassette, CD and seen them a couple of times. It never gets old except I do miss hearing the fingers squeak on the frets on the album.
Crosby's voice had the divine spark. You just have it or not, soul speaks.
Who are these 50 people who do not like this song? Time for Crosby and Nash to make up, forgive and forget. Their voices are heavenly.
and this is Lee Shore , music and lyrics David Crosby , here in is most glorious pure voice , I used to sing and play this song long ago. Still brings tears to my eyes . Such beauty.
Farewell David Crosby , Yumma .
“Wheel gull spin and glide
You've got no place to hide
It's 'cause you don't need one
All along the Lee Shore
Shells lie scattered in the sand
Winking up like shining eyes at me
From the sea
Here is one like sunrise
Older than you know
It's still lying there, where some careless wave
Forgot it long ago
When I awoke this morning
Dove beneath my floating home
Down below her graceful side in the turning tide
To watch the sea fish roam
And there I heard a story
From the sailors of the Sandra Marie
There's another island eight days' run away from here
And it's empty and free
From here to Venezuela
There's nothing more to see
Than a hundred thousand islands flung like jewels upon the sea
For you and me
Sunset smells of dinner
Women are calling at me to end my tales
But perhaps I'll see you the next quiet place
I furl my sails”
Nash lousy comment... David is another level, love this guy, a jewel... and he kept his voice all the way up... to the skies...
The sound of their voices together is magic. It can’t be replicated.
I have been listening to these guys all my life and it’s impossible to have a favourite but this is close!
Whenever I hear this song, I think this is reflects the fundamental vibrations of my soul.
One of my favorite Crosby written songs....
could two men ever sound better together? class guys.
The date of this performance, 9/11/1970, was on my 11th birthday, lol! It would only be 2 years until 4-Way Street became essential to me as I began to form into a woman from a girl. I listened to Deja Vu a lot too and a little later came Stephen Still's album, Illegal Stills. I still listened avidly when it was just CSN but I always listened to Neil Young too. The music of all of these brothers influenced my consciousness early in life and I've loved their music like personal anthems ever since. Actually, the songs are more than personal anthems, they were often lifelines. Truly. And I thank them and wish them health and joy in their golden years.
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Without any doubt nor fear of any contradiction one of the best songs EVER!
RIP David Crosby........you live still within each & everyone of us xxxxxxx
David Crosby - you have the most beautiful, sensitive voice ever and this is the most beautiful song ever.
I just found this,and I absolutely love it
Goodbye David Crosby. Thanks for this beautiful song.
Exquisite harmony and musicianship...Nobody could write a song like David...one of the best male vocalists alive and he and Graham were the perfect duo.
I have loved the music of David Crosby for decades. This is the first time I have heard this song. Nothing has changed except I have added a new song to my favorites list. Thank you for this post.
We all miss you already. You flew the freak flag for so long. A hero. ...perhaps I'll see you the next quiet place I furl my sails. RIP
Delicate, beautiful... Croz best song and one of the most mystic ever made... made of dreams, another world
January 21, 2023... two days after David's passing. This is one of those first-noticed-Croz songs for me. TRIAD... strange picking styles, strange tunings, amazing harmonies. And how I wish they'd put cameras in the IF I COULD ONLY REMEMBER recording studios at the time. sigh
best song ive ever heard
Then you MUST listen to the '4-way Street' album version!
So Beautiful! Especially David's voice. Wish they could be together a again. Such talent.
This is from Audrey Prus not Amanda Prus.
02:22 Crosby looks so wistful it hurts my heart.
Or maybe that's just me projecting what I know went on in Crosby's life onto his face.
Willie has a rare gift for harmony. Lovely.
Wow, never ever listen to any of them before (CSYN) but this is just So Beautiful. What a find!
I still marvel how fortunate we were to be surrounded/saturated by such an embarassment of riches of the era. David's voice, Graham's harmony - what more could you ask for?
Crosby is the best - stoned or otherwise! His guitar playing has a distinct sound like Roger McGuinn. Beautiful melody and lyrics. My favorite - thanks for posting!
such a beautiful song. such a beautiful voice thanks so much for posting!
My heart aches when I listen to this Song. 😍😢
I was born 10 months and 10 days after this performance - wasn't even alive yet, but I miss those days - immeasurably better than now
Best song I hear since a long time.
Great melody, perfect voices, magic guitars, it takes me away to a lonely shore.
Can't stop listening!
So what if he was high??? This is beautiful. The drugs cannot be allowed to detract from the beauty of this man.
Dearest & beloved friend - I've been sailing with you long before The Lee Shore - but you have reached it 1st. Please whisper back in the morning breeze - tell me that all will be well.
The voice...David crosby...so pure
Such beautiful harmony and a wonderful example of the poetry ( sunset smells of dinner!) that came from Crosby. Awesome!
Switch off the lights, put this on the stereo and just relax. One of their best.
These guys, and Stephen, know things about vocal harmony that nobody else has ever even imagined. I love this song. Have loved these musicians since about 1971. Beautiful music.
Of all the songs that came out of rhe CSNY musical legacy in all its various individual and combinations, this is my favorite. My favorite song from my favorite member in that group. Crosby was certainly a troubled, angry, rebellious man but he had his moments of longing that were revealed in songs like Delta, Guinevere and this exquisite song, Leeshore."... ...From here to Venezuela...."
Where is this kind of talent today? Why does my generation listen to crap? Man, I wish I was born in the 60s.
Generations come and go. Great music doesn't die even though we might. Be glad you discovered this. The music we carry around in our hearts, nothing can take that from us.
I'm with you, but I wish I was born in the '40s so I could actually live through and experience this beautiful time!
born in the 60s you would have been a toddler during those years and wouldn't have been able to make the most of it. 1945 was the year imo.
..
I used to wish the same thing! I grew up to this band and the beatles. But what I've learned is the 60's isn't a time, but a total state of mind. You can go there every day, by enjoying your life, listening to this music and being in nature. I do it every day.
im a seaman and i played this song in every part of world i been .. and there is not so much places i havent been ..
Great song, the harmony of these two is amazing!!! Thanks for posting.
What a great song and story. David Crosby...just mind blowing vocals that always amaze me.
Crosby said he used to go to sea to dry out and clean up... it's why many sailors went out in the old days . It takes a pretty big person to brave the ocean in a small boat. Granted that Mayan (Crosby's schooner), was designed and built by John Alden, who knew a thing or two about boat deisgn. But you never know what you're gonna run into out there. Thank you for posting this, it 's always been one of my favorites.
...how I will always remember them.
Inspired. Magical.
Puts me in touch with feeling free, alive and aware, ever new :)
You often see pure amazement on their faces in these videos at the soudn that THEY are making together! They amaze themselves and take JOY in it...it's a beautiful thing!
RIP David Crosby...your voice will still on
It is a wonder that, despite all the abuse he has put his body through, David's voice has held up beautifully all these years later.
this is a thing of beauty, art. nothing more, nothing less. fills the heart.
The groups from the 60s and early 70s were masters if melody and harmony. This performance is a prime example. Hope there's a return to this type of song making and singing. Makes Jack White type stuff sound like fingernails on a blackboard.
Ahhh, this sounded so gooood among the Redwoods by the lake.
At least half the people at the campground wanted to hear it again and again...
Wooden music as Levi calls it. 'Perfect' does just fine for me.
Thank you David, for sharing some wondrous facets of your Soul
I hope Heaven is filled with these sounds
This song describes the life so many of us thought we would someday lead, but that time and the real world slowly but steadily stole from us...
this is one of my favorite things in the whole world.
how good are these two! Love Crosby's voice and lyrically genius...
It doesn't get much better then this
Absolutely beautiful. I saw Crosby and Nash almost exactly a year after this, in '72. Magical. Crosby is a great composer and lyricist and Nash such a perfect compliment. Saw Crosby a couple years ago. His voice is incredible still. His "If Only I could Remember My Name" is a desert island disc for me. The Cameron Crowe documentary on Crosby, "Remember My Name" is a very good trip down memory lane to the founding of CSN and and of course his troubles. God Bless both these great musicians who have provided so much joy to so many.
A great performance of a marvelous song. They don't make 'em like this anymore.
See you in the next quiet place, Mr Crosby. You have furled your sail for the last time on this Earth and will be so missed. Thanks for sharing your music with all of us. Thank you especially for this song, that transports me to another place every time I listen.
Just two men and two guitars creating such a beautiful piece.
Their voices went-so-perfectly-together, to create the most beautiful vocal-harmonies, we have ever captured on record. oNe LovE from NYC
Just imagine , just for one second my friends, ….what if music nowadays was as good as this……
Goosebumps all over. This has to be one of the best duo performances in the history of music. I wish they made a record out of that concert.
Sunset smells of dinner.... I love that line.
This is what music is all about...fantastic... THANK YOU......
