"Where are we going, Woodstock?" Nailed it. In fact, Woodstock was their second time performing together in front of a live audience. Talk about a baptism of fire - depending on who you listen to, anywhere between 250,000 and 400,000 people were there. This song was recorded in 1969, and released in 1970.
@@kylesage-clontz Hi buddy. Are you aware that Joni Mitchell, who at one time was having an affair with Stephen Stills, actually wrote "Woodstock?" ☮️🕊️
She's an old soul. Does always pick up on the 60s vibe. Water beds were a pain kn yhe zss when you moved. Had to drain them. Where? That's a lot if freakin' water.
The problem with hippies has always been - You're not right about hippyness. I'm right about hippyness. I prefer the Tower of Power philosophy- What is hip? Tell me, tell me if you think you know. You on a hip trip. Must be hipper than hip. This song us totally a hippy song. Look at the album cover; 3 guys who couldn't be more hippy. When I saw the 4 Way Street concert in Portland, OR in 1971, the Memorial Coliseum was all over hippies and drenched in the aroma of good weed. Contact high was unavoidable.
I grew up at this time. I was 12 in 1969. We went through a lot. But now all I want to do is spread love in the world. If you want to change the world start within yourself. Is how we were.
Waterbed, black light, fluorescent posters, incense, mind blowing, trippy music blasting on the stereo...it doesn't get any better than that. Thanks...for helping us to relive those days. ✌😎
So glad you're gearing it now. It was a very big hit for them. The harmonies are an eargasm. Never heard that expression before. It describes them perfectly.
You should check out the band Traffic. Such a great band that so many people forget about. "Dear Mister Fantasy", "John Barleycorn Must Die", "Rock n Roll Stew", "Low Spark of the High Heeled Boys"....so many good songs!!
Great choice. Always loved their harmonies, some of the best in music. "Deja Vu" is another good song by them. Most of what they created was very good.
I grew up on this album. Mom loved CSNY. She used to clean house while listening to this when I was a toddler. I can still smell Pine Sol when I hear anything from them.
HA! Mine too! My parents were huge CSNY fans. They even went to see them live a few times (and subsequently, so have I). What a great album to have on the soundtrack to our earliest memories. Simon and Garfunkel and YES are also included...but this is CSNY we're talking about.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young is a folk-rock supergroup formed when Crosby, Stills & Nash ( Stephen Stills of Buffalo Springfield, David Crosby from the Byrds, and Graham Nash from the Hollies) asked Neil Young, also of Buffalo Springfield to join them in 1969 and form "Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young".
Waterbed vibes?! I love Lex, I never know what she's going to say next, but invariably it's something interesting with her own unique perspective. Poor Brad is lost half the time, but he's honest. I've grown to love this channel :)
CSN&Y were all well known and established musicians before they all got together and formed their supergroup. Stills and Young were in Buffalo Springfield, Nash was in the Hollies and Crosby was in the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield. It's impossible to convey to the young folks of today just how huge these guys were in the popular culture. They have so many hits it a would take a Wikipedia article to list them. I think you'd like the live version of "Wooden Ships" from the Daylight Again tour in the early nineties. Great vibe and groove and Stephen Stills is a monster on that guitar of his. The Dea Vu album is in most folks top five or ten records of all time.
Every song on DEJA VU is a banger. One of those desert island albums- all killer, no filler. My fave is ALMOST CUT MY HAIR, featuring David Crosby. The must hear songs from CS,N &Y are in any order are OHIO, WOODEN SHIPS, and WOODSTOCK.
Not as much "banger" as 4 way street and no some songs were okay but not great...they were a live band and on 4 way street album this and Southern Man realy show how Stils and Young coud play alternating guitar solos..too bad requesters only isten to top 40 crap
@@alrivers2297 Woodstock was written by Joni Mitchell. Graham Nash was her ex flame. She could not make it to Woodstock because of other commitments. So she wrote the song and gave it to CSNY. To bad they didn't have the song in time for Woodstock. Joni also recorded the song. Just a fun little fact.
You are absolutely right on, Lex. Waterbed, candles, silk scarves hung on lamps, girls with long long hair in flowing indian hippie dresses, pot & patchouli, 1970, this album was in every college dorm room, hippie apartment, commune and underground scene. (still very much in late sixties vibe.)
You nailed it, Lex. I was in college when this came out…..1970, and had a water bed in late 70’s….and this is quintessential “California Singer-Songwriter” hippie, Woodstock vibe. And yeah…waterbeds were also very “counter culture”. CSNY was a definite Super Group. Each member had a solo career.
Wow haven't heard this in decades. These guys are masters at harmonizing. The first three guys, Crosby, Stills, and Nash did their first gig together at Woodstock (kinda amazing). All four including Young came from rock star bonafides. Young floated in and out of the group for years. Try these songs, in no particular order- Suite: Judy Blue Eyes, Ohio, Teach Your Children, Marrakesh Express, Helplessly Hoping, Wooden Ships. Truly a super group worthy of a rabbit hole experience.
I learned to appreciate music from my mom now passed, she.left me her album's and I have this original and I listen to it occasionally while smoking a fatty and reminiscing love you mom
I wasn’t born into the late 60s but I was raised in the late 60s. I grew up on this album. It is still in my personal top ten ultimate albums of all time. I adore each song.
Thank you for sharing this with me, my uncle Randy took me to Indianapolis for the concert with Crosby, Stole, The Hash lol my first concert at 17 I was totally totally messed up bad alcohol and drugs . Riding high in a Chevy nova as raised rear end mag wheels with a slap stick good memories thank you Brad and Lexie
Mom and dad had this cranked every Sunday making breakfast, along with Simon and Garfunkle, Paul Simon and way more 70s standards. Great time to be alive. I'd love to see you guys react to Southern Cross, which was a much later album that came out in the 80s. That'll blow your hair back. Stephen Stills' vocals on that track are nuts.
All I have to say about you two guys is, Lex, you are so cute and music savvy. The funny thing is I had this album and I would kick back on my waterbed and listen to it with my headphones on
Lexi is such a hippie at heart. Open minded and always finding the beauty. Brad is always like just a bit skeptical and keeps everything at arms length as if someone is watching and judging. Take the music in Brad like no one is watching, let your heart speak to you.
This was part of the soundtrack of my childhood (I'm 51, so the album came out the year before I was born). I'll never tire of those vocal harmonies. I like watching Lex groove along to the music. I'm checking this video out today in memory of David Crosby, who just passed away.
I was raised in the 70's, but by 50's parents. Still, I had a water bed, and gravitated towards 60's and 70's 😎 music. At 55 as of last week, my hair is still long, and even longer than when I was a kid. I never wanted it cut. 😆
All 4 of these people were famous artists before they formed this band. And this was one of the biggest Albums of 1969. Radio play of almost every song on the album was huge.
From 1970. Sometimes just the album cover alone screams out 'Buy Me'. So I picked it up early in my record collecting and this one really knocked it out of the park. Ever since I've been into all things CSNY and every combination found within. Amazing. Thanks for checking this song out!
Dave Bryce What year did you start record collecting? I have my original copy of Deja Vue from 1970, and it is still in awesome condition. I play it on our Fisher Philharmonic cabinet model combination turntable & AM/FM radio we bought in 1968! My wife and I will be married 55 years this coming June.
@@jaycorby I heard 4-Way Street for the first time around '81 or '82 in a very 'delicate' state of mind and it was mesmerizing. I found a small local used record store that carried unusual 'informally' packaged live shows of any combo of CSN&Y, which I later found out were bootlegs. After that I was always trying to find stuff out there in the fringe lol.
Four AMAZINGLY talented musicians, songwriters and vocalists, these guys and the bands they were apart of are a musical genre unto themselves. C,S,N & Y = David Crosby of the Byrds, Stephen Stills of Buffalo Springfield, Graham Nash from the Hollies and Neil Young, also from Buffalo Springfield and the great jam band Crazy Horse. All of these bands are in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for good reason. They are great whether electric or acoustic, their 2nd gig together as C, S, N & Y was Woodstock, you should look for those tracks along with originals Ohio, Suite Judy Blue Eyes and Wooden Ships. As an aside, check out Neil Young with Crazy Horse, yet another great band and Neil does some of his best rock with them, Try Like a Hurricane, Cinnamon Girl and Rocking in the Free World. They are great in the studio but live they can be beyond belief, check out those cuts live from the 1991 Weld Concert Tour, that tour was like a force of nature as the Squall flattened every place it played. Enjoy! 🎸
Woodstock exactly! "Carry On" kicked off side one of the classic CSNY album Déjà Vu. It starts out folksy, ends up psychedelic-soul funky with a groovy guitar solo. Also check out "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", "Wooden Ships", "Woodstock", "Long Time Gone", "Teach Your Children", "Almost Cut My Hair", "Ohio", and "Helpless", as well as "Helplessly Hoping", and for icing, the Stephen Stills classic, "Love the One You're With".
In the early 70's, water beds sort of went together with the hippie culture - blacklight posters, tie-dyed t-shirts and bell bottom pants, incense, smoking dope, Jimi Hendrix and Jefferson Airplane, etc. I worked for a waterbed manufacturer when I first moved to Los Angeles in 1971.
At this point, we were not going to Woodstock, we were coming from Woodstock, about a year earlier. This song is the epitome of the music of that time, full of hope and expectation. A couple of years later reality set in, and the music became much rougher, Disco and Punk hit about 1976-77, and that was the end of the hippie generation. Except for fans of the Grateful Dead.
Great old song from this incredible vocal group. They play instruments as well, but it's the vocal harmonies that made these guys legends. Late 60s and 70s they were great. Played at Woodstock in 1969.
I am SO glad you did this one! And I'm glad you didn't pause right before "the moment" in the middle. Recommendations: "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" , "Woodstock", "You Don't Have to Cry" , "Teach Your Children" ... Also highly recommend some of the hits by their previous bands. The Hollies (Graham Nash) "Bus Stop" is probably my favorite. "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield (Steven Stills and Neil Young). "Eight Miles High" or "Turn Turn Turn" by the Byrds (David Crosby).
Had a waterbed and this album. Class of 1972. C S N (and sometimes) Y set the bar for moving rock towards more harmonizing and acoustic vibes, sort of a musical hug to sooth the mania of prolonged totally freaked out psychedelia. Thanks again for the fun reaction! (try some more Bjork and Talking Heads, please)
Im so glad you guys are getting into CSNY. Ive seen all the subdivisions of this band for years. To me personally, this is about tripping at a house where the parents are gone so you and your friends feel totally safe. Drinking beer and up all night laughing hard and talking about crazy stuff. This is the music for 5-6am when the sun is coming up, the amount of talking isnt over but the amount has subsided and you are all just listening to this and singing along as the sun comes up. You guys really need to do much more of them.
Neil Young left the group, he was in Buffalo Springfield also. Such a great melding of folk and rock. Greatest time in music, the California sound. Cross pollination of talent, Beach Boys, Beatles, Mama's and the Papas. Watch "Echo in the Canyon", narrated by Jakob Dylan. Great movie.
This is like chill hippie rock music you hear while shopping at Goodwill thrift stores. 😆 Music from the '60s, '70s. Lol Waterbed. I did hear their music before (early '80s ish) when I was a kid. Parents listened to them.
Waterbeds, 1970,, both right. This is another band,,that you should be hearing complete albums. I had the waterbed, till the 90s, wife got rid of it,while I was at work. Cuz I would have never gave it up.
"Where are we going, Woodstock?" Nailed it. In fact, Woodstock was their second time performing together in front of a live audience.

Yeah, then Crosby, Stills and Hetfield at Woodstock 94.
All four of them are superstars in their own rights. It’s no surprise they blend so well.
Of course, don't forget their song about Woodstock, called Woodstock.
@@kylesage-clontz Hi buddy. Are you aware that Joni Mitchell, who at one time was having an affair with Stephen Stills, actually wrote "Woodstock?" ☮️🕊️
Oh yes it's Hippie, it's about as Hippie as you can get.
I think Lex was a 60s hippy in a past life. She always picks up on the vibe and feel of music.
Nope this ain't hippie!!! Absolutely wrong
Where Brad seems pretty unmoved by anything
She's an old soul. Does always pick up on the 60s vibe. Water beds were a pain kn yhe zss when you moved. Had to drain them. Where? That's a lot if freakin' water.

All from CSNY...and the Byrds, buffalo Springfield and the Hollies.
"Where we going...Woodstock?"
Literally all kinds of yes.
Let’s go.
The way they harmonize with their voices is just an eargazm. Never heard this one before
Listen to the entire album. This is their second. Also listen to the first album released in 1969 without Young. Hugely successful.
So glad you're gearing it now. It was a very big hit for them. The harmonies are an eargasm. Never heard that expression before. It describes them perfectly.
W. Geoffrey Spaulding, I have that album on vinyl. It’s, indeed, a gem. Not a mundane track on it.
@@w.geoffreyspaulding6588 What does the W stand for? Thomas?
Went to bed every night in 1969 listening to this album with my headphones on. I was 14. Great great memories.
Brad& Lex, you'll love their "Our House" and "Teach Your Children"(CSNY) Also just Crosby, Stills & Nash's "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" (CSN).
Imo those are the two songs I can't stand from the album, but love everything else
These would be the two songs I recommend too
The Suite. Absolutely. The Suite.
Southern cross is the best
Nope 4 way street Southern Man or Carry On Live (way better) or Down By the River
You should check out the band Traffic. Such a great band that so many people forget about. "Dear Mister Fantasy", "John Barleycorn Must Die", "Rock n Roll Stew", "Low Spark of the High Heeled Boys"....so many good songs!!
Don’t forget Cream, Spencer Davis Group and Blind Faith!
@@Pahdopony I was going to suggest the Steve Winwood rabbit hole.
@@themadhatter3622 First thing in the morning before I start the coffee pot, I turn on Steve Windwood or Bob Dylan to get the day going right.
Walking in the wind!!!!!
"Dear Mister Fantasy" was the opening song in the Marvel movie "Endgame". Hopefully, everyone has heard that now.
Great choice. Always loved their harmonies, some of the best in music. "Deja Vu" is another good song by them.
Most of what they created was very good.
Deja Vu is certainly one of their best
“Our House”! I think you’ll just like the lyrics. Super heartwarming, great melodies/harmonies, & a totally wholesome vibe
This song was my lullaby when I was a baby.
I grew up on this album. Mom loved CSNY. She used to clean house while listening to this when I was a toddler. I can still smell Pine Sol when I hear anything from them.

Yes!!! It's totally Saturday morning music for me. Thanks, hippie mama!!! ♡♡♡
Your words about the past with your mum sound so beautiful !
By far one of the best harmony rock groups of all time. Saw them live in the 90s, WITH Young. Epic concert.
The girl nailed it...
Watered, Paisley bed sheets, avocado green appliances, trippy hippy 60s music.ala CSNY....groovy man...far out!

One of the greatest albums of all time- a stone cold classic
“Almost cut my hair” my favorite 🥰🖤

Yep. Old school hippy vibe sublime music. The soundtrack of my youth, Im delighted to say.
One of the original hippie bands... Neil Young broke out shortly after this and went solo. Great song. Great reaction.

You guys should react to…
Crosby, Stills & Nash - Wooden Ships

Lex is right. You were super cool and chill if you listened to this band.
Super cool and chill would not describe their protest songs, just raw anger and passion
Lex I like your logic of thinking. I was raised in the 60'S and 70'S and yeah they were really cool times.
1970. This was my favorite album when I had a waterbed. Lex FTW again!

Had a waterbed and this album. Class of 1972. C S N (and sometimes) Y set the bar for moving rock towards more harmonizing and acoustic vibes, sort of a musical hug to sooth the mania of prolonged totally freaked out psychedelia. Thanks again for the fun reaction! (try some more Bjork and Talking Heads, please)
Workinman’s Dead and American Beauty by the Grateful Dead as well. Both amazing albums with that same feel.
Lex nailed it!! Waterbeds and Woodstock! Yeah, we are super cool! Lmao
I'm a huge fan of Neil Young but the older I get the more I appreciate the greatness of Stephen Stills.
David Crosby - the Byrds
Stephen Stills - Buffalo Springfield
Graham Nash - the Hollies
Neil Young - Buffalo Springfield
Lex was smiling & jammin the whole song! The harmonies are some of the best!
Great supergroup of more folk-rock influence. Really good band with their fantastic vocals.
Their song "Love the One You're With" is good too. This is folk hippie rock music from the '60s and '70s.
Stephen Stills solo, self-titled album. Great track, absolutely.
She's 100% right! Waterbed and a Lava-lite! And some weed
This group has so many jams. Nice to see you hear them.
Tons of great tracks by this band.
Love it when Lex breaks in to that beautiful smile.
GREAT band. Not just good. Ohio, Southern Man, Teach your children, and on and on. This album, Deja Vu is a classic
Im so glad you guys are getting into CSNY. Ive seen all the subdivisions of this band for years. To me personally, this is about tripping at a house where the parents are gone so you and your friends feel totally safe. Drinking beer and up all night laughing hard and talking about crazy stuff. This is the music for 5-6am when the sun is coming up, the amount of talking isnt over but the amount has subsided and you are all just listening to this and singing along as the sun comes up. You guys really need to do much more of them.
Waterbed good..lovelovelove ❤️🌸✌🏻had one my self and listened to this music..❤️✌🏻🌸
Neil Young left the group, he was in Buffalo Springfield also.
Such a great melding of folk and rock. Greatest time in music, the California sound.
Cross pollination of talent, Beach Boys, Beatles, Mama's and the Papas.
Watch "Echo in the Canyon", narrated by Jakob Dylan.
Great movie.
They made ya groove!!! Yes!!!
These are the faces of “I just wanna do missionary” and “I’d love to try something new”
“That’s the music you listen to if you own a waterbed”… best take ever 😆😆😆😆
Lex is right about the water bed/ Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young time and vibes!
This is like chill hippie rock music you hear while shopping at Goodwill thrift stores. 😆 Music from the '60s, '70s. Lol Waterbed.
I did hear their music before (early '80s ish) when I was a kid. Parents listened to them.
She's right. A waterbed and a lava lamp!
I love being from this generation, I'll be 63 next month and I have the vinyl of this a classic
You guys need to put a waterbed on your amazon wishlist
Waterbeds, 1970,, both right.
This is another band,,that you should be hearing complete albums.
I had the waterbed, till the 90s, wife got rid of it,while I was at work.
Cuz I would have never gave it up.
I totally agree with the water bed comment!
Lex you are wild but somehow that water bed thing made perfect sense.🤣🤣🤣✌️✌️✌️
