In 2024, 14 years later, still one of the best live covers on UA-cam.
01:07 UTC 17 August 2024!
Agreed.
Yes it is. How do I book them at our acoustic hall at the Sondhiem Center in Fairfield Iowa?
The Graham Nash E-mail : "I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your performance of our song....in tune, energetic, delightful, many congratulations...Well done all of you." Love to All - Graham Nash.
Lyn Wessel ........fresh, flowing and a balm to an aging weary soul.....god bless...lyn, graham and most of all singers and players
He is Truly a good Human !
@@vanillagorilla8236 Tim met him at a book signing some years later and as he began to introduce himself Graham interrupted "The girls! They're in college now."
Lyn...thanks so much for sharing!
@@chuckstewart9102 Tim shows the autographed email on the Q&A video.
So, I said to David Crosby at the Meet and Greet two years ago at the Uptown Theater in Napa, California, "what do you think about that terrific band, Foxes and Fossils, singing Suite Judy Blue Eyes live?" And he pauses, reflects for a moment, and says, "I wish I was good enough to be in that band!" Kudos to Foxes and Fossils for brightening all our lives in these tough times.
Come on Barry, really?????
If he really said that....very funny and classy
Leave a tip and buy a CD: it'll sound even better 😍🎵
High praise
Lmao , I showed him this , said he had no idea Who you are
And you sound like you're full of B'S.
Imagine grabbing a beer and some food at the local restaurant and hearing a song like this played to perfection that would later have at least 5 million views.
Not just a random restaurant... a bottom self-pizza and stale beer dive.
Amazing event! I hope the peeps that happened to be there appreciate what they witnessed.
What's crazy is the audience is kinda lethargic. Not sure they have any idea how difficult it is to pull that song off that well. Amazing performance.
Well earned.
Incredible execution of insanely difficult harmonies - live! No over-sampling, no auto tune, no prerecorded tracks, no techno nonsense, everyone fully dressed, no backup dancers, excellent LIVE musicianship. Millennials, Gen-whatevers pay attention- this is music
Ahh!! brings back sweet memories. Quite Simply Awesome
And this was the first song of their first performance.... I must have listened to this 100's of times since I discovered it 5 or 6 years ago. Never gets old.
This is just beyond amazing!!!
Just found out about this group! Phenomenal musicians. CSNY harmonies aren't an easy accomplishment! Love love this group 💥
This is REAL music!!
All were excellent but the bass player deserves a standing ovation.
I wonder if the audience realised that they'd never hear a better rendition of this song for the rest of their lives?
Probably not.
Only someone who lived in that time of the late 60's would really be able to appreciate this. THIS was special. Foxes and Fossils are something special.
Year I agree people these days don’t appreciate live music unless your famous already they can play our country and us kiwis will embrace we’ll even throw a fire 🔥 in the foxes will do well in our country circuit for Shaw
I was sitting here listening to this again for the umpteenth time thinking exactly the same thing...how lucky they are to have heard this live. Still takes my breath away to see such talent and skill.
Quite possibly better than the original.
Well, there is the original...
Had to come back and watch this one again after hearing of the passing of bassist Scott King. Although he doesn’t get much FaceTime in this video, which is typical of for most bass players, he throws down on this song and keeps it tight.
Rest in pease Scott. Prayers for you and your family, as well as all the members of the group as they mourn your passing, and reflect on all the great music to which you contributed.
Just listened to foxes and fossils UA-cam Q&A where Tim references how Graham Nash sent him an email telling him how that was the best cover of the song he’s ever heard. That’s amazing
I agree with Graham !!! Tight cover band.
Kept it Zen simple on instruments, 2 acoustic 6 strings and an electric bass. Certainly all that was needed when executed with this superb level of musicianship. The harmonies are spot on as well. A very impressive rendition of a very challenging song, all hail Fossils and Foxes!😀
Dont think you can get much higher praise and accolades then from Graham Nash himself....well done F&F....keep on trucking!!!!
@@JK-js2td we subsequently had the Honor and Privilage of meeting GN at a CSN show here in Atlanta. He was gracious in manner and generous with his time. absolutely a highlight for me and an experience I will never forget. I reas his biography prior to the meeting. Gave me a wonderful insight to the man, Artist and entrepeneur. His passion is Photography, as well, and he was instrumental in pioneering large format digital photography with his company, Nash Images. Thanks for all the kind words and motivational comments, all.
@@darwinconort424 Big Hollies fan and read his book. Nice person.
I'm 72 years-old and have heard everything - this is THE best CSN&Y cover I've ever heard! Well done.
- Glen
Couldn't agree more !!!Fabulous !
AMEN!!!
I agree and I bet nobody will ever top this one!
The more you search the more you will find and come across these exceptional quality covers . There are so much more than I originally believed , nonetheless a jewel is still a jewel 💎 almost flawless ..How lucky are we to find them
Do you know who agrees with you? Graham Nash - contacted them directly to say he loved their cover!
That crowd has NO IDEA what they are witnessing. The guts it took to do this, and have it come fantastic .... it is NOT an easy song, to sing, play. I love this version and the original. Thanks for keeping it here. "4,288,652 views" should say it all...
First song F&F ever performed in public.Tim had just introduced them as the Beauties and Beasties, Scott interrupted and a minute later they became Foxes and Fossils.
wow, that's a lot of views. This should monetize well.
"4,288,652 views" should say it all..."
Well ... a bunch of 'em are mine.
wtf are you talking about? They all look to be listening and enjoying the music. Just because you know how to play guitar doesn't make you an aristocrat who gets to shit on regular people enjoying music. A-hole.
@@twboegel2918 Several of them are mine!
I'm not the only one who has pointed this out, but it worth repeating on this 14th anniversary date: Even if one hasn't read the Ear Candy book and discovered that Scott King was truly a professional bass player with considerable street cred in the music business, one only has to listen to his amazing live bass playing here to realize that Scott's reaction at 8:08 to this performance is the perfect acknowledgement of its magnificence.
Amidst all of this perfection, the bass line is beyond perfect.
Scott King. He does perfect with ridiculous consistency.
foxesandfossils.com
I just melt into that bassline
Agree. Scott is the Glue. His bass interpretation drives this version's success...
@@darwinconort424 Darwin, your contributing vocals and string work is sooo spot on, that it is scary.
The open E tuning is kinda tricky for some, but you just nail everything you do on every part of this
song, as everything else that i've heard you play. The bass is not just glue, It's CRAZY GLUE ! ! !
kirktierney: I have the exact same feeling when I hear this cover. The bass is like the foundation on which this glorious mansion is built.
The crowd had no clue what they were about to experience, and how masterful this performance was
My guess is that they didn't believe what they were hearing and couldn't even process it. I know that I would be really disoriented if the entertainment in a pizza joint started sounding like a front-line band. Like, what was in my beer, man?
For sure they had no clue.
Many times you'll invite family & friends to performances to try to drum up support. A friend tells a friend tells a friend. They probably knew exactly what they were in for, perfection!
@@dabneyoffermein595 This was the first song this group played in public. Came up with the band name 10 seconds before they began.
I’ve watched this over 50 times. I know I’m nobody. I still have to say that there are very few epic performances of cover tunes in the world. This is one. You all nailed it. I am blown away THANK YOU ALL! I’ll watch again and again. God bless you all!!!!!!
hey tony ...no need to apologize for having great musical taste....this is just soooo good.. even Graham Nash said so 😊
And again, I watched. I have no more words. Simply brilliant and fantastic. I love F & F and the fact that I can listen again and again!
Agreed. I keep coming back to this video when it comes up on my feed. I can't not watch it.
You are not the only one Tony! I watched this performance at least once a month for the past 6 or 7 years... and each and every time im just as amazed as i was the first time about how good this cover is! For me this video belongs in the top 3 gems of UA-cam.
I would have to seen them live.
WOW! Just WOW! Goosebumps!
Really wonderfull. Funny how the girls (who sing like absolute pitched angels) don't really seem to realise in what league they are actually singing. Maybe they were a wee bit too young to understand in that moment in time. But wheter it is about harmony, guitar skills or indiviual voices, this is real art. thank you... Big hug from Belgium.
First time listen for me on this one. NOBODY covers this song. Because it's TOO DAMN HARD to do it right. These guys not only did it right; they KILLED IT! Incredibly tight band. I am subscribing NOW!
Agreed..
@@Ed30675 Heck, The Mustangs covered Penny Lane! --ua-cam.com/video/vX8nzZYwfw8/v-deo.html Also amazing. See how many of them you know already!
killed it is an understatment
braovo!!!
it's the guitar part that's hard.
Can't believe it's been ten years since I was sitting there listening to this in GA..and then I find it on the internet!..a wonderful smile filled night.
Those who were in the room to watch this hold a special place in fans' hearts. Please tell more about how the night unfolded!
@@StuartMStrickland Went to meet friends not knowing any music was being played that night..never heard of foxes and fossils..lots of pizza and smiles later..never forgot them..only distraction was the owners left the tvs on..should have turned them off..
@@stuffyteddybare: You'd be amazed how many thousands of F&F fans would sell off prized possessions if they could go back in time and sit where you did on that night, Francis. How astonishingly lucky you were! No one could have heard of Foxes and Fossils, because they only agreed on the name just before stepping on-stage.
If you haven't found them yet, there are about 70 great videos on this channel, including some really wonderful studio recordings from the past few months. More treats and more smiles. Also: foxesandfossils.com
No greater player of the Bass guitar ever slung one around his neck! I wish I met him just so I could have shaken the hand that brings absolute rhythym and joy to all of us
I’ve been in music, either playing or singing, for over sixty years. This performance brings a tear to my eyes. I’ve performed CSN music with my friends and can’t tell you in words how difficult it is to get good. These guys exceed “good” by a far shot! My favorite group on UA-cam! And I’m a big Rush fan. Thank you for all your music! You are a treasure. Again, thank you.
The girls had no idea how big they would become!! This band can do NO wrong!!
well now I'm listening again, in 2023 after many many listens. Never fails. Thank you.
I'm still watching in late august 2024... and i'm 70 years old ! Soul loves music .
I can't believe this is 10 years ago and I am just discovering this phenomenal band. I hope they are still together. Foxes and fossils rule.
Still doing studio recordings as they live in 4 different states. Click on their round picture above for 70+ excellent cover songs.
Only top pros could pull off this one so perfectly. Done! Beyond mesmerized....
First song , first public performance of the group.
Has to be the best ever cover of this classic song! Absolutely nailed it. Lead guitar - amazing channelling of Steven Stills. Bass lines simply the best. Vocals superb. And I've been a CSN fan since Woodstock...
This was F&Fs first song they ever did in public. Not quite as many people there as Woodstock.
What an amazing rendition of this classic! Great job!!! Scott King absolutely drives that bass line...
This is absolutely ASTONISHING. I am listening in 2022 and absolutely WEEPING. I cannot believe the sheer perfection. 🥰🥰🥰
Entire channel of nearly 100 excellent cover songs here. They are still posting regularly 12 1/2 years later. (Click on the F&F logo for their complete video list.)
plot twist: Kira has mental health issues.
@@dumpyd its an amazing thing, isnt it!
@@bsdgffishtuna5186 What, exactly, is your problem? I responded emotionally to something beautiful and transcendent. You see fit to be snide and nasty? I don’t think this is a “me/mental health” problem.
@@kirathomsen-cheek9834 But you are judging me now as snide and nasty?? So only you get to judge people. Thats pretty fascist of you.
I can’t play the guitar, I can’t play the drums , I can’t sing , I can’t harmonise , but boy 👦 I can appreciate good music and singing , I guess I’m the lucky 🍀 one . Thank goodness for Fox’s and fossils, they make the world 🌎 such a better place , God bless them , actually I think 🤔 he already did 🙏
Words of wisdom you've just pronounced
Thanks Karl, for me to just spell my waffle 🧇 is just a bonus , be safe in these trying times 🙏 appreciated your kind comment 😊
Oh, NO DOUBT. These guys, every one,
absolutely exude talent. A rare gift to us , that they have come together as a group to bless us with their gifts.
There should thousands cheering that performance. I just found this group today, and I can’t get enough.
There are thousands cheering this group everyday, just not all in one spot.Over 100k views per day at times.
welcome to the world of F&F. Put your headphones and enjoy all the great music this band has created
This morning for me. Lots of memories with this song. Judy Collins was on the same plane when I flew from JFK to SF to catch my flight to Vietnam in 68. She was in 1st class. Obvious where I was going with gold bars on my class A’s. Those blue eyes looking at me.
They were singing
at a beach side bar restaurant in Florida.
They were a great band,and played cover songs.
The girls are sisters,and then the fossils were dad,and uncles.
Glad you found them.
Sad how people that don't sing have no clue how difficult it actually is.
I have watched this many, many, many times.
For those who may not know, yet: This was the first ever public performance of Foxes and Fossils.
?
And somebody paid for professional videography and audio tracks directly off the mixing board? for an unknown band?
@@scottbc31h22 Nope. Tim Purcell organized this production himself.
They started out being amazing and have only gotten better with each performance.
@Scott BC31H - Check out the band’s recent Q&A video. Tim’s friend Terry Heinlein is a professional videographer and he volunteered to film the show (Terry ‘complains’ off camera in the video about still not being paid!) and Tim already had HD24 recording gear from his own band, The Mustangs. Foxes and Fossils was a side project to allow his daughter and her friend to sing together - they assumed this would be their only performance.
THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! (the guitarist on the left missed one singing part, but they hammered that song!)
That fact that these guys would even think of taking this on in a live setting speaks volumes about their musical chops. And then to simply knock it out of the park, well....stunning!
First song of their first public performance.Huge list of great cover songs since.(click on the round pic above)
@@lynwessel2471 The Foxes and Fossils certainly set the bar high - for not only EVERYONE else, but for their own group as well. So far, no disappointments, and I can't imagine there will ever be.
I, Lyn, like you, have been here since the beginning and I'm blown away every time I listen.
@@wagonmaster1974 They may well have topped this one in popularity with last nights offering.
@@lynwessel2471 Maybe. Anytime the group covers a CSN song, it is magic.
That being said, the fan base is much bigger, as of yesterday, which may have something to do with the popularity. You have to admit - Suite Judy Blue Eyes is the toughest CSN they have covered, to date. Still sets the standard for cover songs and bands. Hard to beat.
As stated, no disappointments, but SJBE was the first song publicly performed and it was suite perfection!
@@wagonmaster1974 Carry On with its dissonant harmonies is much more difficult to sing correctly because the right notes are "wrong" according to normal harmony, vs Sammie and Maggie just doubling Grahams part on Suite.
Best rendition of this song I have ever heard. Period. No special effects just pure talent, wow. These girls are 15/16 here. Just remarkable imo
I wonder how many of the 4 million plus views are original listeners, and how many, like me, just can't get enough. If each person listened 20 times (the count is currently 4,421,140 views), there are just 221,057 of us, watching over and over, still shaking our heads every time.
I got tired of clicking on the "Thumbs Up" for each comment. Simply too good for a cover band. Why only let me vote once?
Absolutely amazing.. best suite judy blue eyes since CSN&Y.. great job you guys
So happy to have stumbled upon this , i need to read up on this group, im taking its dads & their kids, just great 👍
🎸❤🎸👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🎸❤🎸
Don't forget the bass player. Spot, spot, spot on!
Bass player Perked my ears up and found the soul!
It's all about that bass!! Kickin it!
he is so perfect you dont even notice the construction of the song...
His name is Scott King and he is friggin awesome!
@@williammassey8514 A native of Virginia Beach, Scott began playing in his mid teens. He moved to Atlanta in his early twenties and began touring with former Ted Nugent singer Derek St. Holmes. He then moved to L.A and began a project with Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay. When this project failed to get off the ground, Scott moved to Nashville and toured with artists Daren Norwood, Paulette Carlson and Cheley Wright. His credits include tours with Martina McBride,Tammy Wynette, Molly Hatchett and even Joe Wals
This is by far...the best cover band I have ever heard. Listen to every song they do (on you tube) you will find that each one is extremely well done and as good (or better) than the original. (In many cases) The harmony alone blows the doors off most cover bands. I hope you guys get to read this. I mean every word of it.
Covid N.Y. Brought me here.... Talent, cohesion and connection keeps me coming back!
Love you guys
This is an exceptionally complex arrangement. And this goosebump-inducing rendition also manages to capture the spirit of the age in which it was written. Like someone else commented about stumbling on this band on UA-cam: "it's like finding a Rembrandt at a yard sale."
Credit to @ Jennifer Small for one of the best comments on this channel!
It's like finding a copy of a Rembrandt at a yard sale that is better than Rembrandt's original.
Indeed!
@@fredgerken8095 I am, 65 and agree, this is more fun than the original, not sure why but lets just go with it.....
"...like finding a Rembrandt at a yard sale." That statement capture my feelings exactly. These musicians are simply fantastic! No wonder Graham Nash wrote to congratulate them on this rendition.
Incredible version of this song... Crosby Stills snd Nash I’m sure would give a standing ovation after this performance.The harmonies and singing are world class.... Bravo!!!!
Tim has an email from Graham Nash praising this performance.Some time later he went to meet Graham at a signing and as he began to introduce himself Graham said "The girls! They're in college now."
@@lynwessel2471 Great story! Thanks for sharing it.
@@debbieedwards711 See the Q&A video ,Sammie and Maggie were pretty shocked,he hadn't told them the part that Graham recognized him when he went to have him autograph the email.
Covers just don't get any better than this. Love them Foxes.
J. Edwards, Foxes eh? Pretty girls.
Just tuned in after David Crosby's passing. This is a marvelous cover!
No disrespect to Crosby Stills Nash & Young, but this is the best rendition of their song ever. This is the version that best does their song justice.
Uh, DAVE NC - CSNY had nothing to do with this song. It was LITTLE BIG TOWN’S breakout debut recording.
Moonbeamchaos what are you talking about? Stills wrote it and CSNY performed it decades before...
Okay, let's set the record straight once and for all time. Dave NC is partially right; CSNY had nothing to do with this song. It was CSN, Neil Young was not involved. Little Big Town???
It might if the bass player followed his conscience and not play at all.
The song doesn't need the bass but if it were to be, I'd arrange the bass so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. A bass arrangement that compliments the singing and NOT a drum kit that IS NOT THERE.
@@muddypool7537 there’s bass in the original song.
This is probably the best cover I’ve ever heard. Simply unbelievable.
same here
Is not a cover , it is a tribute to CS&N . Beautifully done .
God put some people here....as u see
Honoured to be the 100th person to thumbs up this comment. I feel sorry for all the clueless sheeple who unwittingly believe that (C)Rap etc can be even remotely associated with MUSIC.
Almost better than the original. These people got some talent! A pure pleasure to listen to.
Wow.....I'm sitting on my computer listening and I wanted to stand up and applaud! OUT-FRICKIN'-STANDING!!! The "thumbs down" people must be tone deaf or maybe into rap or some other non-music form is all I gotta say. They're hard to understand. Thank you all for sharing your talent with us. Perfect!
I suspect the "thumbs down" people are big fans of lip synching.
This is the song that introduced me to this wonderful group of musicians! I can't bypass it anytime it comes up in my feed. I have to watch it. Thanks to F&F for giving us all such great music!
Just have to add, Scott King's driving the train with that awesome bass.
Some people were born to sing. That was fantastic!!
Here's a song approximately 50-years old that still is moving in itself. Then it it re-invigorated by these very talented young vocalists/performers. That's the power of the best music ever recorded and performed. I give the highest accolades to these performers and once more proclaim the songs of the sixties and seventies to be simply the most sublime music ever created.
This song is very, very difficult to perform to any degree worthy of the song - but this cover is absolutely amazing. This is one of my favorite songs of all time and I"ve been listening to it for decades. My hat is off to F & F, you've achieved here what few have. Thanks.
Also, the bass guitar is crucial to the texture and sound of this song. F & F bassist absolutely nails it. Credit where due.
Thanx Terry Perkinson I am in your boat
@@terryperkinson4423 You bet! When I first stumbled upon this, I didn't know which part to listen to first - I think the girls' voices were the first thing that captured me and then the guitars and other voices and then... I heard the BASS! I'd been trying to figure out the bass for years listening to the CSN original. And here it was - crystal clear and performed with panache.
YESSSS !! 2023 stil enjoying and loving you all , from the Buckeye state
This is phenomenal. They hit all the high points. Never done better, especially in a live performance. As they say in Germany, Ausgezeichnet!
Just watched this again for about the fortieth time. Still being blown away by you guys and gals!
Naturally I love Maggie and Sammie, but the fossils are so solid on this cover. Bow down you mortals!
I’m stunned by this recording every time I hear it. The fabulous acoustic guitars, the phenomenal bass line, and the over the top vocals. Wow! I would have loved to have been at that show!
For God's sake, somebody turn off the dam TVs; there's a top notch performance going on here!
Frank Carlone Right?!
I've played in bars where the televisions were left on. They are distracting, but if the band is good enough, people stop watching the tube. These folks were more than good enough.
@@N1inSK Agreed, but really, any establishment that puts a sporting event on television screens while hosting entertainment isn't committed to their music act. I've seen more clubs fail because of this than any other kind of mismanagement.
Clean lines. Bass player is a boss.
@@les4767 That's a good point. I don't go to a lot of clubs or bars, so I'll have to believe you are correct.
The bar I used to play in is no more; but it's in a hotel, and they seem to change the name and theme regularly.
But Frank is right; that there is one awesome, version of a great tune. You did it justice, my friend!
Scott absolutely nails it on the bass. He totally drives this.
Stills played all the bass, organ, and lead guitar parts, as well as acoustic guitar on his own songs.
Agree, 100%.
The bass is amazing... I hear more of it each time I listen.
Scott is the secret weapon in F&F. He deserves way more recognition than he gets. Killer player.
Many times listening to this I just focus on the bassline and let it lead me through the song. It’s immersive.
April 2020 and listen to these sweet voices every day for sanity.
Amazing, I heard CSN sing this on the radio when I was 18. Now 70, and all I can say is WOW!
Stumbled on this entirely by accident. Unbelievably brilliant cover! Can’t believe how good it is!
65 amazing covers on this channel. See foxesandfossils.com for bios and "about us".
AND---Almost all their songs are this good.
New years eve 2020 I introduced many friends to the joy of this band. Talk about addictive. Blessings from England. X
Cool, Thank You U.K.
I hope you played it loud with subwoofer on a big TV screen. Shock them senseless with that first "Friday evening..."
Absolutely amazing cover. True talent on that stage. And.....Foxes and Fossils.....brilliant name for the band.
I have to come back and watch video this many times, you guys rock.
Judy Blue Eyes was always ambitious, even for CSN; you pulled it off! Bravo!
This amount of talent is awe inspiring. It sends chills down my spine and makes me feel an incredible mix of emotions. I’ve probably watched this video 30 times in the last 3 days. I just can’t get enough of that PERFECT harmony. Please never stop making such amazing music!
I've played in cover bands for almost 30 years, but you guys are on a whole 'other level. I'd pay $50 a ticket to see you in a heartbeat. You guys are incredible musicians, singers and you have great taste. Rock on! ...and think about playing Albany, NY sometime soon :)
Holy Cow ! I am of the Woodstock generation. This blows my mind, man ! Right On !
First song of their first public performance here. (Crowd a bit smaller than Woodstock.)
Fantastic!!...I hate to say it but the enthusiasm, the harmony & the tightness of it all makes it a better version of the original one!! Good job guys!!
After discovering, and then binge watching F&F all night last night I have concluded Tim Purcell is an American Treasure, and one of most talented-coolest "Dads" in the country. I'm addicted to the F&F harmony now, and this group deserves 1000x more recognition as one of the best Americana ensembles on the scene today. ******** Can't wait for the next song... :)
Tim has more talent in his little finger, than many other musicians out there in the forefront. I don’t think he realizes how very good they all are, the harmonies and musicianship are unparalleled.
@@jimpowers9553 very true!
Rest in peace David Crosby (1941 - 2023)🙏🤘
The quality is due to their passion and love of music which is the ultimate and sincere motivation of a musician's art form. Priceless!
All of their voices blend beautifully. It's as if this piece was written just for Foxes and Fossils forty years later.
Love at 5:38 Darwin was "in the zone" and Tim pointed to the mic---your part! Great performance and even more amazing when you learn that this was the FIRST ever live oerformance!
This cover is unbelievably good...
Too right Steve, what a great polished performance
Everybody associated with this performance, band members, crew, venue owner/manager, audience, everybody should be proud they were a part of something very special. I grew up with CSN and I have heard this song hundreds maybe thousands of times, it is not one of my favorite songs but I do enjoy it. However, this performance is intoxicating. I have listened to it at least a dozen times in just a few days and it leaves me with a smile on my face every time. As I type this I am sitting in my office having just worked some very long days setting up telework computers for co-workers sent home due to the Coronavirus. The last two weeks have been crazy busy and the news has been very depressing, but this video and a few others by F&F have been a big help keeping my morale up. THANK YOU for that.
life it is
if you are about to watch this for the first time. stop whatever can distract you, just prepare to get blown away for about 11 minutes of OMG
I come back to this every once in a while when I want to see what undiscovered talent looks like. Wow.
Yeah it's unbelievable that they haven't gone the big-time these guys are amazing.
But then again who the heck knows what passes for music these days these guys just makes you feel good listening to them.
Same here. This group is top notch good. Bass player is dead on target with the bass lines.
@@logisnews Going big time requires going low and appealing to the masses with spectacle and theatrics and these beautiful people are much too sincere for that kind of nonsense.
The girls are so young about 16 here. Great voices!
@@radicalveg00 most likely you are right. Their integrity and relaxed spontaneity would be constantly challenged if they got involved with the music industry. I love'm just the way they are.
I find that gobsmackingly brilliant!!
Watched this at least a dozen times and always come back to: omgosh the bass player
Agree, who needs drums when you have Scott King driving the song along?
The phrase "knocked it out of the ball park" comes to mind!
I played with CS&N on Daylight Again you absolutely knocked this out of the park RESPECT . Richard T Bear
Wow, that has got to be one of the best compliments they could receive! And I agree 100%!!!
Thanks for listening and your kind comments, Richard ( i'm the guitarist-far left)
@@darwinconort424 You have a Stills-like voice.
@@solowinterwolf thank you. Im a little younger(not much) and, of course, they are our musical heroes(among others). Growing up in Georgia, I listened, and learned from Allman Bros, skynyrd, savoy Brown, Delbert McClinton, and an all time favorite- 'The Amazing Rhythm aces' (back in the day, from memphis, led by Russell Smith) so, a lot Southern Rock, Blues and Gospel in my style. Thanks for listening and glad you enjoy.
Darwin Conort
@@divebobber yes. RT Bear is an accomplished musician on the West Coast. It's a real Blessing and we are fortunate that, as a result of Tim's hard work learning Engineering, as a Producer and creating the UA-cam channel, we are getting this amazing exposure and response. I'm just a good ol Ga. boy guitar player that is fortunate to be surrounded by such talented folk. Making new friends, and these correspondence(like you all, and Bear) area much appreciated validation of our musical efforts. There is so much Talent out there, and Record Labels/Corporate structure, now only concentrate on a small group of who they determine they want to make Superstars. The real Talent is out there, doing Independent, grass roots work, and we are honored to be a part of this scene. Thanks,

Holy. Shit. Knocked it out of the park. Bases loaded. Brings tears to my eyes.
I've heard different covers of this song on here and they hit a grand slam doing this .
yep, kick ass bunch of people...
I'm 70! I was there! Your rendition of SUITE JUDY BLUE EYES is superb! Wonderful job! I had no idea ANYBODY besides CSN could even do SJBEs!
It is so exciting seeing so many young people singing our music!
i have never heard of anyone else covering it either. Great job Foxes and Fossils!
Back in the early 70's, I heard a bunch of teenage boys do SJBE at a place called Sand Mountain, and do it so well if you had closed your eyes you would have though it was CSN. With that said these folks pulled it off. As a guitar player, my hat is off.
could listen to this every day of my life
hi wats the womens names
@@peterratcliffe2597 Maggie Adams (16 when this was shot) is the darker haired girl on your left. Sammie Purcell (15) is the blonde haired girl on the right. Sammie is the daughter of Tim Purcell who is playing guitar and singing between the girls.
@@thomasdupee1440 thank you for the info
You're not the first to think the two ladies are full grown women. I remember reading a comment on this video when I first found this group that mentioned Sammie was just in 9th grade at the time, and I audibly said "Wait, what? She's 15?" But here we are, 12 years later, and they're still making music. See 27 and 28 year old Sammie and Maggie, and now also Chase (now 22), in "Carry On" and other very recent videos.
This was thoroughly entertaining --flawless harmonies and musicianship. Beautifully done!
Absolutely THE best cover of SJBE ever. Rivals the original. I come back and watch this very often.
Interesting....I thought I was the only one who frequented this song. done very well. only wish I could have been there to see it live!!!!!
This is your crowning achievement . I like your other stuff but this performance is otherworldly. Like it was written for the exact combination of talents you all possess.

It’s been years. My first F&F video. Still lovin this work of art.
Very , Very few bands could hold a candle to CSN , this is probably the best rendition of this song you'll ever get the privilege of hearing !! It is almost impossible to do a good kareoke or cover of any song but y'all make these covers better than the originals !!! Kudo's to you all ....
This relatively unknown group from Cut-and-Shoot, Georgia or some other small town does a musically and vocally perfect rendition of this song of which I never tire even though I've heard them sing it maybe 50 or 60 times. Just phenomenal.
Me too. It's my go-to youtube.
This is, without question, the single greatest cover track on UA-cam...
It's up there , no doubt. When I first came across this on UA-cam I thought it was incredible for a live performance in a very low key venue. Everything about the performance was mesmerizing and I've followed them ever since. They are such nice and genuine people.. I wish them all the success that they deserve...but they are probably happy anyway.
Have you heard their Helplessly Hoping?? It's fantastic!!
tanstaafl: There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch..... From a fellow Heinlein fan. There's a blast from the past.
@@AzTrailRider57 love Heinlein. Lazarus Long is one of the best characters ever.
Scott's bass ..... OMG!
Never tire of listening to this song by F&F.
This is outstanding. This song is rarely covered because of the inability to do justice to the vocals. But man, this really was impressive.
Graham Nash wrote an email to Tim telling him that.
Thank u Donna Rose female foxes and fossils
@Michael M. It gets better. Start at about 13 minutes into their Q&A video.

I grew up listening to CSN, and though it was a pleasure to hear them do this live, the Foxes and Fossils cover is in a league of its own. The amazing bass, the open tuning guitar playing, the vocals and harmonies, the energy, it all fits together wonderfully. Tim's vocals are outstanding and Maggie and Sammie sing beyond their years in this one. An amazing achievement. (And no wonder Tim nearly collapses in his chair when it's done!).
... complete with the bell tones too!
Amen!
I saw CSN (&Y) try to do this in a 1974 concert. They didn't come close to what these guys did.
The amount of fun they so obviously have performing the song adds much to it.
@@eddiewillers1442 I saw csn in 1979...same thing... The Foxes and Fossils did better!
The more I listen to you folks the deeper I fall in love. Listening to this with tears in my eyes. Thank you once again for loving what you do and giving it to us. The love, the joy, is tangible.
Speechless! Is this for real? I have watched this several times. It’s unreal talent.
They did not cover this - they improved it. Call me out of it, but I did not know the song at all. I have enjoyed hearing it again and again. Then I listened to CSN, pretty good, but the young ladies make this so much better - singing, harmony, grace, and pure enjoyment of the music. Kudos to Tim and everyone!
Wonderful harmonies. I used to be able to sing as high as Stephens Still did on this song. Not anymore. At age 52 1/2, those days are gone for me. But I'm glad I can enjoying listen to people who can still hit the high notes.
Hey, these 4 were great but hey, CS&N will always be the number 1 for this song, including their 2012 concert, which I still think it was one of the best I've heard of Suite: Judy Blue Eyes that Crosby Stills & Nash performed. Stephen Stills was still able to hit those high notes. Just ask Crosby, Nash & the audience because they all applauded after Stills did that one part....
Groups like this keeps the classics alive.
Best cover I've ever heard of this. In fact, the female harmonies add something that the original version doesn't have, and I almost prefer this version as a result!
I can never understand how a lot of modern day musicians are making millions when super talented people like this are playing for peanuts!
Considering this is a live performance without auto tune etc they put a lot of todays mega stars in the shade…
First gig, first song F&F ever did in public.
The modern day "musicians" (not really, the computer programs do their work for them) are making millions because they are doing it for the money. F & F do it because they love performing the music - which is way more valuable than the money. Pretty easy to understand, actually.
