Im almost 53. All i listened to when I was twenty was this. Classic rock. And it sucked because i wasnt there and i was always fantasizing wishing i was there. But ya know of course the songs live on. Thank God for recording
Neil young is such a great guitar player with his unique style. When you hear it in context of another great guitar player you realize just how great he truly was.
During a break in the taping, a technician of some sort came into the studio and told Neil that he needed to turn down the sound, as it was leaking into another studio. Neill nodded his consent, but the minute that fellow left the studio Neil , with a dramatic gesture, turned up the volume on his amp - to applause and cheers by the small attending audience....
I was just thinking about this performance yesterday and thought to myself “it’s so incredible these legends still walk the Earth in 2023” but sadly David Crosby has passed at 81 today 1/19/23. Play on brother
@Annah Shoffner..I was just thinking the same thing, it certainly has made me realize how very short life is…when I hear these songs they take me back to those wonderful times. I thought that I would live forever. So bittersweet. May you RIP David Crosby, thank you being such an important part of my life. 🙏🏻😢❤️
@@davidborrelli1081 yes I know about them Both passing away within days of each other as well as Lisa Marie Presley 🥺. I remember the day she was born she was the honeymoon baby. I was 9 when she was born.
Well you only saw it very rarely. Shows like this were very few and far between. It was all old people's programming. This would have been a big occasion.
Zay Ogden ~ Well... that isn't quite true. It wasn't so rare, and not all programs were aimed at "old people", whatever that means. People over 35? Television producers were quickly waking up to the youth market. With rock taking off in a big way, there was many variety shows at the time, mid 60s to early 70s that regularly featured a rock and/or pop act on the bill. Of course there was American Bandstand, Shindig, Hullabaloo, which were entirely music. There was the weekly Ed Sullivan show, The Andy Williams show, Dick Cavett, The Dean Martin show, Hollywood Palace, Smothers Brothers, The Johnny Cash Show, Mike Douglas, Glen Campbell's Goodtime Hour, The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, This Is Tom Jones, The Flip Wilson show, all of which had a music segment. Starting in '73 there was The Midnight Special, and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. Again nothing but music. So there you have it!
Amen to that…Steven was too much the perfectionist for my taste, even though, admittedly, that spirit helped him make Suite: Judy Blue Eyes the timeless masterpiece it always was and still is. The raw, ragged Neil on electric has the same rock spirit that drives Keith Richards and that combined with the talent of Stills made for some of the best R&R. Steve needed Neils energy to push him to be the best and Neil needed the competitive edge to push him.
They were so different style wise but man it worked. With Young’s playing you never knew where he was going. It didn’t matter though. His/their songs were amazing. There is an interview out there where Graham Nash talks about them writing over a thousand songs between them. He then quips that Neil wrote 700 of them. It was something like that. Pretty funny. Great memories as a child of the 60’s/70’s. Alas, now I’m just old.
both of them felt the exact same way about each other and their playing together, and that's why they kept getting back together again and again over the decades despite very different temperaments.
@@pkoven And it was the same with Crosby and Nash. They had the best voices in the group; and in spite of whatever disagreements they had, they continued to sing together through the years.
This is a great song. I remember cruising in my 68 stang by myself smoking a doob and just listing to a great tune. What great days. Songs like this live forever
68 Mustang coupe 289 3 on the floor and jamming to all that was new and vibrant everyday. And Buffalo Springfield birthed: CSNY, Loggins & Messina, Poco, The Eagles....it doesn’t get any better than those deep roots👍🏼👍🏼😎
It was indeed a magical time. The first on-stage video-projected concert I ever attended was in 1969 or 70 with these guys at the stadium in Oakland. I'm still not over it.
I grew up in a tiny village in rural Pennsylvania in the 60s and 70s. I remember playing the Neil Young and Crazy Horse version of this song on a little Sears record player while putting on my baseball uniform. CSNY and the other bands of the time opened my eyes to a bigger world and I'm forever grateful for it.
I grew up in a very small town in Pennsylvania in the 60’s and 70’s and played my albums and singles on a little Sears record player, too. They were the best times of my life. How lucky I was to be born back then.
Lucky that we can revisit on You Tube. Their music has saved me during this virus. Hope everyone is safe and well during Covid19 2020. One thing for sure..... I’ll never forget 2020.
What I love about this is that Stills and Young are such different guitarists, and yet somehow, that shared riffing they do is just brilliant. They really do have some sort of mental connection.
Really? I’ve come to think they they had a similar style. It’s that raw, loose, unrefined style that is so cool and great for rock. There are parts I’ve heard that I always thought Young played, but since UA-cam, I’ve found Stills playing them.
You must be a Millennial. "I don't care how old that is?"Really? Actually, the fact that it's OLD is a good sign it's fucking ten times as good as whatever shit passes for good today. Fact!
Crosby was a really good harmony singer. Music was the only thing he was serious about. Dope and ego ruined him but his musical contributions cannot be discounted. And yeah,Stills and Young bouncing ideas back and forth was pure magic.... @@paulwouters2025
We lost one of the very best guitarists , singer , songwriters , to ever grace a stage....From The Byrds to Crosby , Stills , Nash , and Young , David was a huge part of the two groups and the Rebellion generation sound....A musical Genius and Legend.....He will be forever missed and remembered.....🎤🎸✌️🔥💪👊🙏
Just think about how subversive it was, for 1970, to turn on a network television show and see a bunch of hippies singing a song like "Down by the River". That would have been inconceivable just a few short years before. But CSNY helped kick open a lot of doors, and things we take for granted now are because of pioneers like them who knocked down the old barriers.
Give ABC some credit too, they took a chance putting this on network TV, reasoning that it would be on in the summer when the other networks would be showing re-runs so what did they have to lose?
The days when I could go out on the highway with a backpack, stick out my thumb, and strangers would pick me up, share a joint, go where fate took us, sleep under the stars and love the one you were with. Strangers meeting strangers were instant friends, there was a common culture. You could tell by the way people dressed who was part of it.
There were a few shows that had rock ‘n’ roll as good on them, but not many. Most of it was variety show crap. But this one was exceptional, as was Tom Jones and Johnny Cash. And they all had Crosby Stills Nash and Young on. Tom Jones had some amazing people like Janis Joplin as well. And Johnny Cash would have people like Linda Ronstadt and Joni Mitchell. The best talents always want to be surrounded by the best talents.
The man introducing the band is comedian & occassional TV host David Steinberg, an alum of Second City. Some online searching identifies this show as Music Scene, which aired on ABC 1969-1970. What an impossibly fabulous time capsule. I have loved Neil Young & Steven Stills forever. They are magic here. Thank you so much for posting.
1970 was the year I saw them in Chicago. I was a 16 yr old suburban kid at this huge concert with a friend downtown all alone. Thank God my parents let me go!
Our music in the 70’s Stills and Young are masters of the time. ✌🏼…Old Man, Southern Man, Cinnamon Girl, on and on. Era of the best music and pro formers that was made from 1966-76.
When I was 19 I played this in a talent show. I was runner up to my friend Mr. David Langley:which won 1st.place singing "Up on cripple creek"he is long time gone now but I will always remember him as a great man and a good friend!Good bye David Langley!
I like how the host introduced Dallas Taylor with the band in the beginning. That was thoughtful. His drumming on the first album with the group is stellar and easily overlooked with all that is going on there but if you pay attention he really is a very dynamic percussionist and grooves through all those numbers with great flair and creativity and still finds a way to wail away without being overbearing...no wonder Stills recruited him for their band. Geniuses recognizes each other!
I'm 72 and this may be the first time I have seen this performance. Loved the song then and now. The only way this could have been better would be if it had lasted an additional 10-15 minutes. Steven and Neil at their best!!! Love those big hollow body electric guitars!
I'm 60 and Steely Dan were one of my favourites as a young teen. It's hilarious to read the comments about these guy's looks - we didn't care how musicians looked - we cared about their music and what they had to say! That is one of the huge difference with today's performers - it's far more about how they look first and foremost and who cares whether they can sing, play multiple instruments or whether they have anything important to say. There's obviously exceptions to that rule these days but not too many.
Back when music was great, no auto tune, or b.s. extravaganza shows to hide your lack of talent ( Taylor Swift, Jlo, Beyonce, Rihanna, Madonna ) just bands & individuals w talent. Take me back to the 70s please. I was 12 when this aired.
YEAh! They were SO great together,,,called a power group for a reason right? Thanks David Steinberg. Lucky guy got to meet them live and in person. Cool.
Of course cause all the garbage top 40 requesters only ask for his acoustic because this has balls and top 40 won't play it!!! Their best stuff was live and Electric
Holy Cow, they were actually playing live, and Neil KILLED with his guitar. Nothing like that would be allowed to happen today, TV generally won't risk live music.
They Just sound so tight it's unbelievable....have seen CSNY 2X Live & CSN 1X Live.....All I can say is Amazing...I am so glad & grateful that I have gotten to see alot of the greatest R'n'R bands & Artists of All-time.....W/ This being One of them undoubtedly.
I remember this episode of "The Music Scene" What a killer performance by one of the greatest bands ever! Love the way Stephen and Neil play off each other. Thanx for the memories
Sharon Ramone Omg it reminds me of how Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page used to feed off each other together in The Yardbirds with 2 Huge Hits: Happenings Ten Years Time Ago and Stroll On (1966).
Well you never see this on top 40 or rarely on you tube cause most "requesters" for reviews just want acoustic crap like from Harvest or other acoustic stuff never the good stuff
So that's where this happened, on the short-lived musical show "The Music Scene," hosted by David Steinberg. Could someone tell me where I can re-live all of the episodes of The Music Scene ... all 17 of them!
Having been there at the beginning of true progressive rock all eras. And being at Woodstock truely blew my mind and I haven't stopped listening. Seeing CSNY at Woodstock and seeing all those celestial dynamic rock truely put my mind at ease. There never was any music that come close to perfection then that era.
Getting old isn't fun but worth it for living in a time of music like this! Stephen Still's guitar solo still sends shivers up my spine fifty odd years later!
This is when music was great!!
How lucky were we,,,,,,
Music is still great...you just dropped out. It is an arguable point that Young was the worst thing that happened to Crosby, Stills, and Nash. He could write a damn song....but his voice was finger nails on a chalk board.

Second that, of course. Doesn't beat the '69 Crazy Horse version.

Hollies were good, but they were a bubble gum hit machine. This stuff was far deeper. And know what? Graham Nash would agree. He did agree.
It's in the book. He had space to be able to do it.
Pure genius...one of the all time great songs.
People don't seem to talk so much about Greg Reeves on bass. He was 15 when this was filmed. That's basically insane.
Great observation! You are exactly right. Imagine that kids teenage years. What stories he has.
He was great!
He is awesome. I love him.

@@wilyinfidel1091 nope he was on beat unlike your top 40 bands peddling crap

Johnny Barbata also did a great job on the "Four Way Street Album"
The man introducing the band is comedian & occassional TV host David Steinberg, an alum of Second City. Some online searching identifies this show as Music Scene, which aired on ABC 1969-1970. What an impossibly fabulous time capsule. I have loved Neil Young & Steven Stills forever. They are magic here. Thank you so much for posting.
I knew his face but couldn't get his name Thanks
Exactly the comment I was looking for. I remember this show (and host) from my very early youth, from when things were always kind of hazy… Thanks!
@@jayhache5609 My pleasure.
Also Thank You!!! Knew the face and needed your help for the name .
I was wondering if there was a moment between Young and Steinberg backstage, "Yo, Winnipeg!"
The world could sure use a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young tour. Settle their differences and show a whole new generation their brilliance.
One of my favourite Neil Young songs.
I am glad that someone called this a Neil Young song because it really is!
Most excellent. If you don't like this, you don't like rock-n-roll.
For sure...
This is not rock and roll, but it is bullshit.
@@jimbuck2996 HA.
@@jimbuck2996 yeah you're right... this is trap
RIP David. This is LIVE people. Imagine.
1970 was a banner year for rock 'n roll and CSNY was at their peak, and all looking sooooo good! Fantastic memories! 🎸🎸🎤🎼🌟🌟☄☄⚡️⚡️💥💥🔥✨💫
In 1970, I was 65 years old. Now I am 124 and this music takes me back to great days....Nothing like it today.
Whippersnapper 😄
@@pch2230 Ha ha ha I haven't heard that for a while either....lol
Wow, the Sniffer-in-Chief 👃 could be your son! 🤡
1970 was the year I saw them in Chicago. I was a 16 yr old suburban kid at this huge concert with a friend downtown all alone. Thank God my parents let me go!
Our music in the 70’s Stills and Young are masters of the time. ✌🏼…Old Man, Southern Man, Cinnamon Girl, on and on. Era of the best music and pro formers that was made from 1966-76.
When I was 19 I played this in a talent show. I was runner up to my friend Mr. David Langley:which won 1st.place singing "Up on cripple creek"he is long time gone now but I will always remember him as a great man and a good friend!Good bye David Langley!
🙏🙏🙏✌✌✌Japie...
I like how the host introduced Dallas Taylor with the band in the beginning. That was thoughtful. His drumming on the first album with the group is stellar and easily overlooked with all that is going on there but if you pay attention he really is a very dynamic percussionist and grooves through all those numbers with great flair and creativity and still finds a way to wail away without being overbearing...no wonder Stills recruited him for their band. Geniuses recognizes each other!
I think they insisted that Dallas & Greg Reeves always be credited. If you look at the Deja Vu cover they're listed prominently on the front
Dallas and Gregg were with them for 20 years
Except... the host did not mention Greg Reeves in this show. He was not mentioned.
Btw... that host is David Steinberg.
@@aBeatleFan4ever A very good comedian back in the day
I'm 72 and this may be the first time I have seen this performance. Loved the song then and now. The only way this could have been better would be if it had lasted an additional 10-15 minutes. Steven and Neil at their best!!! Love those big hollow body electric guitars!
Remembering David Crosby (d. 2023). American singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Rock legend. No more problems.
It was so nice to see him in his prime in this video.
How much talents on a single stage...
love the back and forth guitar solos between young and stills
A guitar duet, and now we have guitar....wait we don't even have instruments :/
No lip-syncing for these guys. Awesome
Young and Stills, long may you run..... Neil a legend
Hello 👋 kim
I'm 60 and Steely Dan were one of my favourites as a young teen. It's hilarious to read the comments about these guy's looks - we didn't care how musicians looked - we cared about their music and what they had to say! That is one of the huge difference with today's performers - it's far more about how they look first and foremost and who cares whether they can sing, play multiple instruments or whether they have anything important to say. There's obviously exceptions to that rule these days but not too many.
This is great. What a great version of this song. I love "Down By The River" but this is amazing. They are really great together.
Classic. NEVER goes out of style.
Incredible memories from 60's! TY 73+CANCER fighter who saw them numerous times great FUN!!!
Back when music was great, no auto tune, or b.s. extravaganza shows to hide your lack of talent ( Taylor Swift, Jlo, Beyonce, Rihanna, Madonna ) just bands & individuals w talent. Take me back to the 70s please. I was 12 when this aired.
I couldn't love them all more, and I was there for it all, thankfully!
What a magical time for music.
Oh man....there can't be anything better than this.....wow......
Yes, it's true!
The best. There just isn’t any music anymore. Tattoos, flames, smoke and mirrors, but no music.
Such beautiful harmonies. Rest In Peace David Crosby.
Stephen Stills, an underrated guitarist.
Nah, he's rated just about right: respected, but not revered.
YEAh! They were SO great together,,,called a power group for a reason right? Thanks David Steinberg. Lucky guy got to meet them live and in person. Cool.
Wow Never knew these guys were such a bad ass live act, Neil Young sensational jamming.
Listen to `4 Way Street'

I saw them in the Chicago Auditorium theatre during that tour. Awesome. I wore out a couple vinyl copies of that album.
Wooden Ships and Southern Cross.
Yup it s because reaction channels don't play his good stuff and most just play acoustic
Of course cause all the garbage top 40 requesters only ask for his acoustic because this has balls and top 40 won't play it!!! Their best stuff was live and Electric
Gretsch Guitars...straight up R & R beasts
My youth, my loves and this fabulous music. I'm so glad I lived through this time . RIP David ❤
One of my all-time fav, never fades and amazing skills for the four of them
Holy Cow, they were actually playing live, and Neil KILLED with his guitar. Nothing like that would be allowed to happen today, TV generally won't risk live music.
They Just sound so tight it's unbelievable....have seen CSNY 2X Live & CSN 1X Live.....All I can say is Amazing...I am so glad & grateful that I have gotten to see alot of the greatest R'n'R bands & Artists of All-time.....W/ This being One of them undoubtedly.
I remember this episode of "The Music Scene" What a killer performance by one of the greatest bands ever! Love the way Stephen and Neil play off each other. Thanx for the memories
Sharon Ramone Omg it reminds me of how Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page used to feed off each other together in The Yardbirds with 2 Huge Hits: Happenings Ten Years Time Ago and Stroll On (1966).
Well you never see this on top 40 or rarely on you tube cause most "requesters" for reviews just want acoustic crap like from Harvest or other acoustic stuff never the good stuff
@@jasonvenzor2630 nope this is way better
So that's where this happened, on the short-lived musical show "The Music Scene," hosted by David Steinberg. Could someone tell me where I can re-live all of the episodes of The Music Scene ... all 17 of them!
Having been there at the beginning of true progressive rock all eras. And being at Woodstock truely blew my mind and I haven't stopped listening. Seeing CSNY at Woodstock and seeing all those celestial dynamic rock truely put my mind at ease. There never was any music that come close to perfection then that era.
100% true!
so true boss I just hope rest of them have many more years ahead I really hope Neil & David were on better terms
@@tpstrato2270 I am afraid that ship has sailed, as David Crosby has left us just yesterday January 19, 2023.
ciertamente.
Getting old isn't fun but worth it for living in a time of music like this! Stephen Still's guitar solo still sends shivers up my spine fifty odd years later!
This has always been a favorite song of mine by CSN&Y. This a great video, Crosby just having a blast here.
Whew! We all needed that.
This is absolutely incredible
