    To capture such intensity while playing in a sterile tv studio is beyond belief. They play as if they’re in a stadium. Neil is, and will always be, the Man, but together on stage and duelling with Stills - well, it just doesn’t get any better, does it? But this is from an age when music meant something. No - everything!! And still does to some of us.

      Hard agree. I have watched this many times over the years, and it's the raw intensity that stands out for me. It showcases why these guys, all of them, but Neil especially, deserved all the accolades. And Stills, rocking the sh*t out of that White Falcon! And this song is so genius because it's a rocking, sweet-harmonies toe-tapper, but beneath that, it is, literally a deeply haunted Southern Gothic short story, in the style of O'Conner or Faulkner, set to music. And that's why Neil is a freakin' giant!

    To see Neil and Stills jamming together towards the end is transcendental, such pure expression of life. Read in Neil's biography of how he always learned a lot from Stills' musicianship, the same way you would look up to an elder brother. Great music, amazing souls, thanks to technology a trip into the past is possible. Forever Young!

    I was lucky enough to see CS&N 20 years ago in of all places Amarillo, Texas. Happened to hear a commercial on the radio driving home from work the afternoon of the show. Stopped by the civic center to see if tickets were available, not many tickets had been sold and it was 2 hours before the concert. The lady selling the tickets gave me 2 for free.
    Even though the concert was less than half full they put on a great show and spent some time just talking to the audience. So glad I got to see them.

    It's amazing to see Stephen Stills so young. At Woodstock in August 1969, he was so intimidated he almost had a case of stage fright (also the name of a GREAT song by The Band's Rick Danko - check it out. They played at Woodstock the morning of my birthday, August 17.) I believe he even said over the "mic" that he was scared shi*less).
    Everyone knows how great Neil Young, Graham Nash, and even (I wanna' be a star) David Crosby were. What set Stills apart from all the others was that his family had spent A LOT of time living in South America and he absorbed a great deal of their unique musical sound in his playing. If you spend time listening closely to much of his solo work it is unmistakable. A kind of fusion of cultures. I saw him solo in one of his concert tours in the '80s. You sure got your ticket cost's worth at that time. Unless you've seen him solo in concert everyone who thinks they know him to be talented really have no true idea of just how good he was/is.

    This footage is absolutely stunning. In all my days I never came across this! And it demonstrates very clearly just how talented and facile ALL OF THEM were with their instruments AND their voices. They indeed were ahead of their time in their choices of instruments as well. At least 2 of them, and perhaps 3 of them, are playing Gretsch guitars, a somewhat hybrid style guitar favored by some rockabilly players, most notably the GREAT Galloping Cliff Gallup from Gene Vincent's original lineup of the Bluecaps. Do not know if Still or Young we're aware of Gallup, but instinct tells me they WERE. What a fantastic band, so fabulous on stage!

      For those of us old enough to have learned guitar and joined our first band in the late 1960s, Stephen Stills was a guitar, singing and songwriting God. he wasn’t underrated by us musicians.

    What a gem this version is. It doesn't appear to be lip-synched and is rich in it's musical density, harmony, and visual presentation. In particular, Neil is engaged with the rest of the group, something that doesn't always happen. I'm glad you posted this... many thanks!

      First of all, I'm a female. Second, Neil Young spent his formative musical years in Winnipeg. Winnipeg is where he got into music, learned to play guitar, joined his first band, wrote his first songs. He was born in Toronto and spent time in Omeme but got into music in Winnipeg. He will be the first to admit it. And he wants to be buried in Manitoba.

You have Stills with a contemporary style, tearing through licks like its nothing, then Neil comes in with "that thing he does" and then they resolve the lead guitars with a massive build up together but each one distinct, back into the vocals.
