I am 74 next month. I listen and I am young again with firm, tanned skin. I’m young again, beautiful and only worry is not to get pregnant by my boyfriend but we’re careful - lol. Now we have a son. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, you shaped our youth and placed something in our brains that can never be erased. To hear your songs and your incredible harmonies will always ALWAYS be a balm on our souls as we age. I love you.
Exactly and precisely said. I am 75. I saw this and asked myself if I wanted to watch it? After all, I knew it well. But, because a friend posted it on Facebook, I clicked, and am so glad I did. It brought back vividly those years and that sound, which was together for too short a time. Still, they gave us what they did, and it was some of the most woderful music of the era. It captured a time of free love, free spirits, and no cares. A time when most things seemed possible, though there was the backdrop of the every present war, which threatened to upset our lives.
Well said. Nothing against all of that production and showmanship because that is a ton of hard work. But, something about this purity really resonates so much more.
Tonight, I am here because David Crosby has left this life. I have been here before. I am 61 years old, and this will forever be one of my favorite songs. Rest easy and thank you for the memories.
Raven I've kinda grew up on their when I was a kid & yes I still have their music today I'm 59Yrs, old but this 1 stood out the most I always think of my Mom & Mr. Crosby now RIP to you Sir
The anthem of the '70's still as powerful and poetic and delivered with such feeling so many years later. RIP David Crosby and blessings to Graham & Steven.
RIP David Crosby. The soundtrack of my childhood, youth and adulthood. Glad to have been alive to witness and enjoy your talent. I play your music every day and twice as loud on Saturday's. Condolences to his family, friends and bandmate's. 🕯🎸🕯🎸🕯🎸🎶🎶🎵😢😢
RIP my friend. Another one of the good ones is gone. So sad that this kind of music is dying. Being replaced with garbage. Glad I don’t have too much time left as well. Gonna go be with these guys too soon I suppose. 0:13
His music and all his bandmates are the best! We brought our children up on this. Deja Vu album cover is still on our couch when my husband was in the Navy in 1972. We lived in Alameda, California
Amazing talent. One of the best ever. So sad that life goes by so fast. Most of us don't have this kind of talent. Just amazing. Their songs oftentimes brings tears to my eyes, especially, "Teach Your Children."
I'm 56 and Thanks to my Dad(who just passed away this Aug. 2023) My music has forever been Influenced by Great Music such as CSN! TRUE PURE MUSIC! No Dazzling Light Show..No Tons of Barely Dressed dancers, just Damn Good Music! I'm sure my Dad is in heaven right now listening to CSN with a Great Buzz and watching his beloved Duke Blue Devils get RUINED by My UNC Tarheels!
So wonderful to have the same feelings ! I'm 65 years old, I'm black, I'm a man, I'm African from West Africa.....and I'm crying....😢😢😢😢 This song is magic !
70 years of age. Stephen Stills IS the man. Great to see some of them back in concert. But... Stills is head and shoulders a super talent. That's all I have to say.
We’ve been married for 53 years. This is what my husband was playing the first time we met. It was love at first sight for me. And this has always been our song. Our children cry when they hear it. This was brilliant! Thank you. ❤️
I'm 74, and since Croz died I can't stop humming/singing his greatest songs. They're stuck in my head! The band was such a big part of my life. Thank you David and CSN and Y. You have brought such joy in my life over the last five and a half decades.
I'm 68 years old. Just had some losses myself. Needed to cry, needed to laugh, needed some depth of feeling. Knew to find some comfort in this music. Rest in peace David Crosby. We are stardust.
As a little kid growing up in the 60’s . Memories of the tragedy of Vietnam on the tv news each night. Death and sadness. But the beautiful music of that period. When I hear this I’m transferred back in time . Laying in my bed at night. Listening to music like this on my crystal set. So beautiful and a safe and magical place to hide from scenes on the tv which remain in my memory to this day. Thank you music makers of that period 🙏
Does this old boomer's heart good to hear this version of this classic tune. These lads sure knew how to put a song together, and they still do it so well. So long as music like this exists there is still hope.
Pure magic. Did anyone notice Stephen Stills plays Within You and Without You during his guitar solo. ( That’s why you hear Graham Nash say “God Bless George “. Amazing how well their voices have held up. RIP David Crosby and thanks 🙏 for the music.
Vale - David Crosby One of the best & greatest Singer/Musicians has passed away aged 81. Along with his mates Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young, Crosby created some of the most iconic late 60's & early 70's music. I know they started in the mid-60's, though to me they epitomise WOODSTOCK. The Vocal harmonies rival anyone else in the music world. Their Guitar work and their sublime Bass lines were ground-breaking and ahead of their time. Even as a very young child I knew their music was very special. RIP Mate, thanks for all the musical joy you brought us.
My all time favorite song. As an old lady now, it still makes me tear up. What incredible talent to have witnessed up close and personal in my lifetime.
Only 41 I love all is well music feel like such a huge loss people yourself artists like these or music the history of this country all the things has been done and said that we're all going to lose it and now I Generations my age and younger just had no content or understanding a memory of the old days and all the things that we've been through and everything from the country for the beginning to the Dust Bowl. 2 the world . And then also the 60s 70s so much sin done this country so much history too much music amazing artist fading away and being forgotten by the generation that we're losing that was probably the best last couple Generations true Americans I'm 41 once all you guys are gone America will be gone American history will be gone American Musical be gone as far as all of us know and remember America will be gone when your older generation passed away and I'm so sad a little feel like we've lost everything 41 from guitar player singer volatile stuff it kills me that we're losing all these artists and music and young people know nothing
RIP David Crosby.....American singer, guitarist & songwriter best known for being a founding member of both The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash....David is one of the most influential singer/songwriters in rock history & his harmonies with both Graham Nash & Stephen Stills are legendary....He also released 6 solo albums in his music career & his work with both The Byrds & CSNY has sold over 35 million LP's worldwide....Crosby is a pioneer of folk/rock & country/rock music who also performed at the WOODSTOCK festival with CSNY before recording their 2nd LP "Deja Vu" and won the Grammy Award in 1969 as a member of CSN for BEST NEW ARTIST.....David Crosby was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Byrds in 1991 & also in 1997 as a member of Crosby, Stills & Nash.
I'm crying, too. Crying and smiling and dancing some, too. Hope is a little harder to come by these days - music helps. Their music soared and still uplifts. I am so grateful.
I am amazed at the voice quality that they all have maintained. Crosby, with the smooth, low harmony, hasn't lost anything, and I can understand that. Nash, always singing the great high part, is almost unbelievable here. It is most difficult, next to impossible, to maintain a range like that while getting on in years. This was a truly awesome performance.
I've the unity in there voice and quite strength and tenderness I had the privilege to see them live what a awesome awakening of the spirit for me for 4 hours in crediblble
Not to discount this performance, as it is truly fabulous, but Nash did not take all the same high lines as on the album. In particular, I noticed it in the "sparrow" lines. This is still awesome.
@@jackquarantillo5192 see, I have come to the conclusion that Stills did the highest parts in falsetto back in the day. Nash is on top for 99% of the time, but in certain parts Stills goes on top. The “Friday evening” section on the original seems to me like nash is in the middle. It would make sense that you don’t hear that very top part as Stills probably can’t do the falsetto anymore. Also pretty sure Nash’s voice is a bit auto tuned on this
My scatterbrained older sister forgot my 14th birthday back in '71 and rushed around for something to give me. I was not impressed to receive a battered cassette tape, without case, wrapped up in tissue paper, which I'd not heard of: Deja Vu...and then I played it. The best music I've ever listened to, and which I still listen to to this day, along with all the solo material.
I'm now 64 years old and I have a cup that my sister Clarice gave me the first time I had surgery with flowers in it. I have had too many surgeries to count. I feel like I been to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 😊 but I am still going. 😊
I am Namibian, at the time I first started listening to these guys I was a youth, learning to play the guitar, so much joy, love and awe may their souls be blessed forever.
@@nbenefiel most of you aren’t gone. My parents are your age and they’re doing fine. I just helped out my mother clear out some brush because she’s putting in a fence for a dog. My mother was out there in the heat working with me.
Who underrated him? That's such a cliché these days. Everyone I know and I've been playing almost as long as Stephen thinks he's Great. So whomever you know that thinks he's not that good, punch them in the face. for me please.
I saw them live at Fillmore East in 1969--still one of the greatest gigs I ever saw and heard...three part harmony like no others...with David gone we will never see the likes of this again...brought tears to my eyes...
Whatever happened to the world? Where are the True Song writers and True singers of yesteryears??? Am 71 and my Heart cries Out!!! SAVE THIS TINY PLANET... bring back the Voices of The Angels ... PLEASE ❤❤❤❤❤
I'll probably get in trouble for saying this but I always feel like Crosby's voice is kind of hidden stills has an awesome awesome voice but I tend to hear Nash a little more than I kind of would like it kind of drowns out Crosby's voice to me anyway it's not really meant as a criticism I absolutely adore their music I guess what I'm saying is the balance just seems a tiny little bit off I would love to hear a little more of Crosby's voice in the blend that's all
One of the Greatest songs of ALL TIME. I have probably listened to this song over a thousand times since '69. This performance is stunning, evocative and heart wrenching all at the same time. We were so blessed to have them in our lives. Thank you CSN and Y.
I have always loved this beautiful live version. So happy these recordings are available for the world to enjoy the brilliance of performers everywhere. RIP David Crosby
I've been listening to this tune for fifty years and I've never enjoyed it so much as I do when I watch this video. Their smiles at the end really top it off.
Hi there how are you doing? Your post are always comment section but I believe you are off Facebook I don’t want to be rude by sending you a request without your permission would you mind sending me a friend request? thank you and remain blessed
I love this. Keep coming back to listen. Their older voices still shine because they are so skilled and so in touch with each other musically. A beautiful rendition.
I am 69, and fortunate enough to have picked up on Stills and Young with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby with the Byrds, and all the way through til now. I still keep my guitar tuned in D, and there is nothing like the thrill l get playing in the style of Stills. No one else like him.
Graham Nash has the voice of an angel. I'm amazed he can still carry those high notes. Steven Stills has to be one of the best acoustic players ever. That's a great sounding guitar, especially with the Harrison tune. The harmonies are thrilling me to the marrow...spine chilling. Thank you for posting this.
I have never had my heart torn out, dusted off, and put back in as it was when i played this clip!!!!! When Stills hit that high note, I was in tears. Thanks for those memories.
@@michaelscott7462 I understood what you meant when you said you were black. Black folks weren't the primary audience for CSN. I hope you managed to get over Mr Cooltunes or whatever his name was. Fools like him are desperate to offload the misery they feel by giving it to you. No one can hurt you w/o your permission. Peace be with from this 71 yr old white boy..
@@rtflone WOW! My man...thank you. You very succinctly gave wordage to my sometimes misunderstood statement. You get it. He was probably of a much younger generation and therefore without a reference point for what we had for a short yet glorious moment in time. You have made this world brighter.
The pure JOY and look of love on their faces when they triple high five at the end! What a beautiful moment to witness. Seemed like three young boys, happy and carefree. It struck me as quite a juxtaposition to the complex performance they just gave, especially having read about all they have been through over the years, individually and collectively. I think their age and life experience added a beautiful depth and tone to their voices and performance. To see these three together at this age (I am not far behind them) is a real gift. Im'a listen again and likely cry again too!
I was a 19 yr. old at Woodstock, when I first saw these 3 angels . They introduced this song by saying " This is only the second time we've performed together, and we're scared shitless" Here, they introduce it, saying, " we haven't done this song in a very very, long time" ....Both times, they are being so absolutely sincere, and both times, they fall into each others spheres with such an absolutely magical fusion, that you can see their own reaction to the splendor of the oneness that results. Stephen Stills, in spite of being the last holdout to a hard living, hard partying life (which when compared to Dave Crosby really says a lot), carries the lead not only vocally, but as one of the best acoustic style players ever, solo, for most of the song . As another commenter, "Grandpa the Grey" said so well "From the time of primordial ooze, those three voices were destined to harmonize." I pity the ones who, for whatever reason, cannot see the clear magnificence that is manifested here.
You WERE at Woodstock man! Touched by these angels and inspired to state this so well. "Splendor of the oneness," "magnificence that is manifested". You got it. And thanks for repeating the "destined to harmonize"... All I can say is Far out!
Well, they were brilliant song writers alright, but they alway blew this one when they did it live. Meanwhile, there are cover groups that nail this tune to the wall.
@@wilbporterwp It is weird tuning. I learned it last week and EVERY string is E (except the B string!) Once the tuning is finishes, the song is actually very easy to play. I can't imagine any other way of tuning the guitar for that song. It has a sound to it whereby the E strings "drone" throughout the song. Believe it or not, it is very easy to play once you get the basics down.
I saw CSN in concert in the early 1970s. The audience was silent. We didn't want to interfere with the harmonies. I saw them twice in the past 15 years. The audience was silent. We didn't want to interfere with the harmonies.
I'm in tears. You've brought back an era. And they still had every ounce of its depth and beauty. And that after some extremely hard and difficult years in between. Thank you so much for this gift! (Oh yes, I'm 73 years old.)
And don't lose sight of the fact that this was recorded when these guys weren't kids - Crosby is 71 here, Stills is 67 and Nash is 70 here. I'd like to be able to stand up for 9:42 when I hit 71! [It ain't far away, BTW.]
CSN&Y singing,and doing their BEST!Look at their ages.....I have glucoma,and 64 yrs old,with foot pain.They are the lucky ones. Stay heathy,be safe,and put on a smile from time to time.
I’m born in 67. Never heard of them until I stumbled on Reflections of my life video. I searched for their stuff. They are excellent. Underrated is an understatement. What a great sound. My new favourite band
Watching in 10/24 on the Eve of one of the most divisive Presidential elections in modern history, looking to my youth for a little peace and hope in the soul stirring music that shaped my life and the lives of so many others. A debt that can only be repaid by still listening with appreciation and joy after all these years. Thank you.
For anyone who can spare the time I recommend reading through the comments to see how much these guys have enhanced the lives of so many people ! So nice of Steven to include a tribute to George in the middle of his most famous composition ! I can’t finish without mentioning their association with Neil in CSNY and to thank them for their contribution to the peace movement of the sixtys which changed the world for the better for a while ! I regret to say that the idealism has failed as the world is in the grip of totalitarianism, witness the police forces wading into the citizens who try to express their discontent ! Did you ever in your wildest dreams imagine the President of the United States would try to destroy democracy ? Sorry , I didn’t intend to go here but as trump says, it is what it is ! Good luck everyone !
So many good songs! Such talent! Of course, we also have a few other groups with similar talent, like "Simon and Garfunkle, "The Eagles," "The Mamas and the Papas," and how about Dan Fogelberg?
i remember .69 like it was yesterday. grew up with these guys. never again will we have music like we had in 60's 70's and even 80's. cant believe how time flies.
My favorites Stills song. Great talents, all of them. Having opened for Stills many years ago, I got to meet him and chat him up a bit. Way talented and underrated musician.
This is PERFECTION. Please guys; it is a crime that you guys can't get together for a concert. There is NOTHING like the harmonies you guys have - and the fans would be SOOOOOOO happy.
@@dennispicone6801 - So many great bands with the same "problem".....and it's a shame. The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, etc., etc. - problems getting along near the end....
This is an old video. I have seen it many times. I was 19 years old when these guys did this “little tune” at Woodstock. I have heard this song thousands of times. It never gets old. It only gets better. This is music! This is art! This is how it is supposed to be done! I believe some younger people are starting to realize the difference between the music from my era and the manufactured “music” that is coming out now. I certainly hope so!
3 guys who really could sing - one sadly no longer with us. Quite remarkable performance not forgetting Stills' beautiful guitar work. Should be played to all those budding musicians to show what they have to live up to.
Rest well and in peace, Croz. Thank you for you incredible catalog of music. Too many people have overlooked your solo catalog over the past 50 years ... they are missing much of the remarkable music you have given to us. You will be missed.
A sad song-tale about Stephen Stills' deep love for fellow musician Judy Collins." Sweet Judy" was his unrequited love. This song sings of the joy of preserving the memories of our lost loves.
This is my favorite live recording of this track, not only because it is really well performed, but the age in their voice adds so much beauty to the lyrics. Stills in particular is on a other level here. I want to break down crying during his solos.
Can you imagine being the inspiration for such a song? Judy is magnificent, in her own right, but this song makes anything else she's accomplished (sooo much) above and beyond. My heart nearly burst just listening to it. What a gift.
At 38 years of age today I remember this from father playing it on vinyl. Only time I ever seen him cry. I always figured it's cause my mother's name was Judith Ann was why. But after he passed and as I grew musicly and in age I understand why. Great piece of art!5
So wonderful! It almost seemed that Steven didn't know how or didn't want to end it. I will be 73 very soon and am still blown away by the sheer massive quantity of extraordinary music that came from the 60's.
I'd like to have been there to see it and hear it in person; i would have cried just like now sitting here listening to this in my kitchen. I'm 67 years old, amazed at seeing these guys bring back sounds and memories of yesterday and doing a damn fine job of it, too, for three old codgers.♥️ Rest in Peace, David 👑✝️🕊️🌹
@Redwood Rebelgirl - He said in an interview that it was a genetic progressive issue and several others in his family are completely deaf as they got older.
@@meganostra6633 no, it doesn't denigrate their musical ability, however, the "tough" guy image equates to more sales, whereas bands like CSN, Led Zep, the Beatles, Elvis, Michael Jackson(Yah, I said it, Michael Jackson) made it big just on their music and entertainment.
Im 67 years old, Im black, Im a man, and. Im crying. A quiet joy has surfaced in my heart as my youth has resurfaced just for a moment.
yey...good news my friend...they have done their job then...that's the stuff that it is...
I know EXACTLY what you are saying and feeling. Hang in there!
I am four years behind you and your familshare your joy. I’ve been lucky enough to see CSN and CSN&

3 voices, and one guitar, no dancers, no light shows, no autotune, no reverbs, no protools backup, no teleprompters, just sublime...
agree!
Well said. Nothing against all of that production and showmanship because that is a ton of hard work. But, something about this purity really resonates so much more.
Three of the greatest voices in rock 'n' roll since the Beatles. I wish I'd been there!
Absolute joy!!
They are one person
They are two alone
They are three together
They are for each other ❤❤
Tonight, I am here because David Crosby has left this life. I have been here before. I am 61 years old, and this will forever be one of my favorite songs. Rest easy and thank you for the memories.

70 years of age. Stephen Stills IS the man.
Great to see some of them back in concert.

Sadly, the end of an era. A legend dies, but the music lives on. RIP David Crosby. 💔
Great music never dies.
He lived a long time to have been as sick as he was......
This was recorded 43 years after their legendary performance at Woodstock. Absolutely incredible. ❤
Its incredible the time span of their career. Simply amazing!!!

Ditto!!
Kind of ironic considering the lyrics! Congrats on all that time shared. That's beautiful.
Is your name Judy? No? Are you at least "sweet?" I will say that I did marry a "Collins." That's as close as I come to this song!
You gave me goosebumps. ❤
Beautiful
I'm 74, and since Croz died I can't stop humming/singing his greatest songs. They're stuck in my head! The band was such a big part of my life. Thank you David and CSN and Y. You have brought such joy in my life over the last five and a half decades.
I'm 69 and Cros will always be with us in harmonius memory rip
THANK YOU!
He did his job well while in this earthly realm. Not a man without flaws yet man who was authentic in every way.
I'm from Spain, a few years older than you and exactly the same feeling about these three monsters and their marvelous performances.
I'll be 75 in October and this as much as any band is the music of my life.
I'm 76 and all these sounds are still in my ears, in my heart, in my soul. Forever. I love you.
I'm 68 years old. Just had some losses myself. Needed to cry, needed to laugh, needed some depth of feeling. Knew to find some comfort in this music. Rest in peace David Crosby. We are stardust.
No pyrotechnics, no overdubs, no crazy effects, just pure talent on the stage... amazing.

As a little kid growing up in the 60’s . Memories of the tragedy of Vietnam on the tv news each night. Death and sadness. But the beautiful music of that period. When I hear this I’m transferred back in time . Laying in my bed at night. Listening to music like this on my crystal set. So beautiful and a safe and magical place to hide from scenes on the tv which remain in my memory to this day. Thank you music makers of that period 🙏
Beautifully stated . To have been young during that time was incredible, wonderful, and encouraging. Ain't it funny how time slips away.
Crystal set! I listened on a transistor.
@@anne-louiseluccarini4530 the transistor was in the kitchen. I could listen to my crystal set without mum & dad knowing I wasn’t asleep 😉

Sure captured a musical, spiritual, and cultural moment of time in U.S.
because it hits you in the marrow
Foxes and Fossils are keeping that harmony alive.
Very underrated. Just listen to the best of mr Stills
My husband and I thank you for posting this magnificent piece of history and fantastic music!
RIP, David Crosby. You may be gone, but your brilliance lives on . . .
At 69 I had to find something where these 3 were together live, RIP David, there are tears rolling down my cheeks.😢😢
Does this old boomer's heart good to hear this version of this classic tune. These lads sure knew how to put a song together, and they still do it so well. So long as music like this exists there is still hope.
The best. I am 73 and are my favorite. I want a song of their:”s played at my funeral. I dont care if people remark. Its my last wish….
Pure magic. Did anyone notice Stephen Stills plays Within You and Without You during his guitar solo. ( That’s why you hear Graham Nash say “God Bless George “. Amazing how well their voices have held up. RIP David Crosby and thanks 🙏 for the music.

Instant flashback to the 60's, very hard to not tear up. It was the music, the time, and becoming of age in the late 60's. Wow.
You understand. A magical time.
coming of age
The most magical time...we were all one thru the music
Born 1960 remember everything !! The evolution
Yes it comes right back.. Woodstock! We made history!! It was a peaceful gathering..no fighting just love and hope.
Vale - David Crosby
One of the best & greatest Singer/Musicians has passed away aged 81.
Along with his mates Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young, Crosby created some of the most iconic late 60's & early 70's music.
I know they started in the mid-60's, though to me they epitomise WOODSTOCK.
The Vocal harmonies rival anyone else in the music world.
Their Guitar work and their sublime Bass lines were ground-breaking and ahead of their time.
Even as a very young child I knew their music was very special.
RIP Mate, thanks for all the musical joy you brought us.
My all time favorite song. As an old lady now, it still makes me tear up. What incredible talent to have witnessed up close and personal in my lifetime.
You you callin' an old lady?!
Only 41 I love all is well music feel like such a huge loss people yourself artists like these or music the history of this country all the things has been done and said that we're all going to lose it and now I Generations my age and younger just had no content or understanding a memory of the old days and all the things that we've been through and everything from the country for the beginning to the Dust Bowl. 2 the world . And then also the 60s 70s so much sin done this country so much history too much music amazing artist fading away and being forgotten by the generation that we're losing that was probably the best last couple Generations true Americans I'm 41 once all you guys are gone America will be gone American history will be gone American Musical be gone as far as all of us know and remember America will be gone when your older generation passed away and I'm so sad a little feel like we've lost everything 41 from guitar player singer volatile stuff it kills me that we're losing all these artists and music and young people know nothing
dont cry be happy..........biden goes in 2024.............TRUMP-DESANTIS 2024..........

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.
I'm a 66 youngster and these guys mean such a lot to me! "Voices of the angels ring around the moonlight".
RIP David Crosby.....American singer, guitarist & songwriter best known for being a founding member of both The Byrds and Crosby, Stills & Nash....David is one of the most influential singer/songwriters in rock history & his harmonies with both Graham Nash & Stephen Stills are legendary....He also released 6 solo albums in his music career & his work with both The Byrds & CSNY has sold over 35 million LP's worldwide....Crosby is a pioneer of folk/rock & country/rock music who also performed at the WOODSTOCK festival with CSNY before recording their 2nd LP "Deja Vu" and won the Grammy Award in 1969 as a member of CSN for BEST NEW ARTIST.....David Crosby was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a member of The Byrds in 1991 & also in 1997 as a member of Crosby, Stills & Nash.
Tears in my eyes and goose bumps on my arms. RIP David Crosby 1/19/23
I'm crying, too. Crying and smiling and dancing some, too. Hope is a little harder to come by these days - music helps. Their music soared and still uplifts. I am so grateful.
Same here...
As am I grateful....for their music...young again ..for this short period of time listening to this song.
I am amazed at the voice quality that they all have maintained. Crosby, with the smooth, low harmony, hasn't lost anything, and I can understand that. Nash, always singing the great high part, is almost unbelievable here. It is most difficult, next to impossible, to maintain a range like that while getting on in years. This was a truly awesome performance.
I've the unity in there voice and quite strength and tenderness I had the privilege to see them live what a awesome awakening of the spirit for me for 4 hours in crediblble
They are GREAT ! Then@ NOW !!
Not to discount this performance, as it is truly fabulous, but Nash did not take all the same high lines as on the album. In particular, I noticed it in the "sparrow" lines.
This is still awesome.
@@jackquarantillo5192 see, I have come to the conclusion that Stills did the highest parts in falsetto back in the day. Nash is on top for 99% of the time, but in certain parts Stills goes on top. The “Friday evening” section on the original seems to me like nash is in the middle. It would make sense that you don’t hear that very top part as Stills probably can’t do the falsetto anymore. Also pretty sure Nash’s voice is a bit auto tuned on this
Vox populi. Vox dei
You youngsters enjoy the same music as myself
72 years young. Lifelong musician. Way too emotional. Cry at the drop of a hat
They nail it. I got goosebumps when they go into the final chorus. RIP David Crosby.
SAME!!
My scatterbrained older sister forgot my 14th birthday back in '71 and rushed around for something to give me. I was not impressed to receive a battered cassette tape, without case, wrapped up in tissue paper, which I'd not heard of: Deja Vu...and then I played it. The best music I've ever listened to, and which I still listen to to this day, along with all the solo material.
Proof that the most precious gifts seldom arrive wrapped in gold.
I'm now 64 years old and I have a cup that my sister Clarice gave me the first time I had surgery with flowers in it. I have had too many surgeries to count. I feel like I been to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre 😊 but I am still going. 😊
Where would we be without our sisters?
I am Namibian, at the time I first started listening to these guys I was a youth, learning to play the guitar, so much joy, love and awe may their souls be blessed forever.
I am 85. We grew up in a magic music era.
You sure did. I was born in 85. Stay strong my friend
God Bless you friend
I was born in 51. Most of us are gone now, but when we were young, we were amazing.
@@nbenefiel most of you aren’t gone. My parents are your age and they’re doing fine. I just helped out my mother clear out some brush because she’s putting in a fence for a dog. My mother was out there in the heat working with me.
@@nbenefiel but yes, you guys were awesome when you were young. I don’t want to leave like a brat. I love my boomer generation.
Stephen Stills, one of the most underrated guitar players ever.
Got that right
For sure. Singer, songwriter, legendary guitar player.
Who underrated him? That's such a cliché these days. Everyone I know and I've been playing almost as long as Stephen thinks he's Great. So whomever you know that thinks he's not that good, punch them in the face. for me please.
This transports me into another dimension.. memories
By who?
I saw them live at Fillmore East in 1969--still one of the greatest gigs I ever saw and heard...three part harmony like no others...with David gone we will never see the likes of this again...brought tears to my eyes...
The world has lost such a bright light in David. So glad we have these beautiful live memories to remember him.
Music from my youth.
It's impossible for me listen to this without wearing a huge grin on my face, these old guys still kick ass.
Thanks Patrick, I still have the original album!God bless you!
Back in the day,
Truly appreciate your huge talent 👏
Whatever happened to the world? Where are the True Song writers and True singers of yesteryears???
Am 71 and my Heart cries Out!!! SAVE THIS TINY PLANET... bring back the Voices of The Angels ... PLEASE ❤❤❤❤❤
I'll probably get in trouble for saying this but I always feel like Crosby's voice is kind of hidden stills has an awesome awesome voice but I tend to hear Nash a little more than I kind of would like it kind of drowns out Crosby's voice to me anyway it's not really meant as a criticism I absolutely adore their music I guess what I'm saying is the balance just seems a tiny little bit off I would love to hear a little more of Crosby's voice in the blend that's all
@@QESPINCETI Voices of Angels still ringing around the moonlight..away from us now.. 💓💓..Let's keep crying, what have we got to loose ?
One of the Greatest songs of ALL TIME. I have probably listened to this song over a thousand times since '69. This performance is stunning, evocative and heart wrenching all at the same time. We were so blessed to have them in our lives. Thank you CSN and Y.
I have always loved this beautiful live version. So happy these recordings are available for the world to enjoy the brilliance of performers everywhere. RIP David Crosby
I just finished listening, as a first time listener.
Top notch goosebumps.
I've been listening to this tune for fifty years and I've never enjoyed it so much as I do when I watch this video.
Their smiles at the end really top it off.
Magnificant
What he said.
Hi there how are you doing? Your post are always comment section but I believe you are off Facebook I don’t want to be rude by sending you a request without your permission would you mind sending me a friend request? thank you and remain blessed
I love this. Keep coming back to listen. Their older voices still shine because they are so skilled and so in touch with each other musically. A beautiful rendition.
Going to be 70 in April, and am fortunate to have lived during the best generation of music. RIP David.
I am 69, and fortunate enough to have picked up on Stills and Young with Buffalo Springfield and Crosby with the Byrds, and all the way through til now. I still keep my guitar tuned in D, and there is nothing like the thrill l get playing in the style of Stills. No one else like him.
Graham Nash was a member of The Hollies as I recall.
This is truly one of the most amazing examples of harmony. These guys are true artists.
"The queen of the Caribbean Sea" 8:50
Graham Nash has the voice of an angel. I'm amazed he can still carry those high notes. Steven Stills has to be one of the best acoustic players ever. That's a great sounding guitar, especially with the Harrison tune. The harmonies are thrilling me to the marrow...spine chilling. Thank you for posting this.
David said in an interview that Stepheb was te most talented guitarist among the four.....
I think that’s an Alvarez Yari. Wonderful handmade instruments..
Nice Harrison Tribute
Ohhhhhhhh wow . I love this
I'm 71. I first heard them when I was 18. This is my most favourite song of theirs. And it always moves me to tears. Their artistry is undying. I
I can't watch this without getting goosebumps!!
I have never had my heart torn out, dusted off, and put back in as it was when i played this clip!!!!! When Stills hit that high note, I was in tears. Thanks for those memories.
You nailed how I feel whenever I play this clip. Its called joy...pure joy.
😉
@@michaelscott7462 I understood what you meant when you said you were black. Black folks weren't the primary audience for CSN. I hope you managed to get over Mr Cooltunes or whatever his name was. Fools like him are desperate to offload the misery they feel by giving it to you. No one can hurt you w/o your permission. Peace be with from this 71 yr old white boy..
@@rtflone WOW! My man...thank you. You very succinctly gave wordage to my sometimes misunderstood statement. You get it. He was probably of a much younger generation and therefore without a reference point for what we had for a short yet glorious moment in time. You have made this world brighter.
The pure JOY and look of love on their faces when they triple high five at the end! What a beautiful moment to witness. Seemed like three young boys, happy and carefree. It struck me as quite a juxtaposition to the complex performance they just gave, especially having read about all they have been through over the years, individually and collectively.
I think their age and life experience added a beautiful depth and tone to their voices and performance. To see these three together at this age (I am not far behind them) is a real gift. Im'a listen again and likely cry again too!
I was a 19 yr. old at Woodstock, when I first saw these 3 angels . They introduced this song by saying " This is only the second time we've performed together, and we're scared shitless" Here, they introduce it, saying, " we haven't done this song in a very very, long time" ....Both times, they are being so absolutely sincere, and both times, they fall into each others spheres with such an absolutely magical fusion, that you can see their own reaction to the splendor of the oneness that results. Stephen Stills, in spite of being the last holdout to a hard living, hard partying life (which when compared to Dave Crosby really says a lot), carries the lead not only vocally, but as one of the best acoustic style players ever, solo, for most of the song . As another commenter, "Grandpa the Grey" said so well "From the time of primordial ooze, those three voices were destined to harmonize." I pity the ones who, for whatever reason, cannot see the clear magnificence that is manifested here.
You WERE at Woodstock man! Touched by these angels and inspired to state this so well. "Splendor of the oneness," "magnificence that is manifested". You got it. And thanks for repeating the "destined to harmonize"... All I can say is Far out!
Agree. Their own reactions say it all. That was magical.
I think it's so cool you were there and got to see/listen to those now-timeless classics!
Fred Sainte-Marie how true
Well, they were brilliant song writers alright, but they alway blew this one when they did it live. Meanwhile, there are cover groups that nail this tune to the wall.
It's amazing what one Martin guitar in the hands of the right guy can do.
Did he use open tuning in the original release?
Not sure it always has to be a Martin...
On some occasions however, it does - it really definitely does!
THIS is one of them. Masterly in every sense.
@@wilbporterwp Yes. Open tunings are often his go to songwriting place.
@@wilbporterwp It is weird tuning. I learned it last week and EVERY string is E (except the B string!) Once the tuning is finishes, the song is actually very easy to play. I can't imagine any other way of tuning the guitar for that song. It has a sound to it whereby the E strings "drone" throughout the song. Believe it or not, it is very easy to play once you get the basics down.
@@ianbartle456 Yep, the D-45 Martin guitars are exceptional and have a perfect timbre. i had a D-35 but I sold it (ARRRGGGHHHH!).
I saw CSN in concert in the early 1970s. The audience was silent. We didn't want to interfere with the harmonies. I saw them twice in the past 15 years. The audience was silent. We didn't want to interfere with the harmonies.
When all You need is an acoustic guitar and a perfect blend of voices, Rest in Peace David Crosby, God Bless your Sou! 🙏
I'm in tears. You've brought back an era. And they still had every ounce of its depth and beauty. And that after some extremely hard and difficult years in between. Thank you so much for this gift! (Oh yes, I'm 73 years old.)
Suzy Swanson from Charlotte looking for fellow fans of this greatest band. I'm 65 and I still get rushes!
@@susanswanson3013 Incredible harmony singing. And after all those years. Jim, Chicago.
me too............
me too............TRUMP-DESANTIS 2024........
Yes I wish ,19
And don't lose sight of the fact that this was recorded when these guys weren't kids - Crosby is 71 here, Stills is 67 and Nash is 70 here. I'd like to be able to stand up for 9:42 when I hit 71! [It ain't far away, BTW.]
😊😊😊🌼👏👏👏
There's hope 😂
CSN&Y singing,and doing their BEST!Look at their ages.....I have glucoma,and 64 yrs old,with foot pain.They are the lucky ones.
Stay heathy,be safe,and put on a smile from time to time.
Hits the high notes too...
And hit those high notes!
I’m born in 67. Never heard of them until I stumbled on Reflections of my life video. I searched for their stuff. They are excellent. Underrated is an understatement. What a great sound. My new favourite band
Watching in 10/24 on the Eve of one of the most divisive Presidential elections in modern history, looking to my youth for a little peace and hope in the soul stirring music that shaped my life and the lives of so many others. A debt that can only be repaid by still listening with appreciation and joy after all these years. Thank you.
LEGEND!! These guys WERE the music of the '60s. I was a teenager when this song came out. I'll always hold it close to my heart.
For anyone who can spare the time I recommend reading through the comments to see how much these guys have enhanced the lives of so many people ! So nice of Steven to include a tribute to George in the middle of his most famous composition ! I can’t finish without mentioning their association with Neil in CSNY and to thank them for their contribution to the peace movement of the sixtys which changed the world for the better for a while ! I regret to say that the idealism has failed as the world is in the grip of totalitarianism, witness the police forces wading into the citizens who try to express their discontent ! Did you ever in your wildest dreams imagine the President of the United States would try to destroy democracy ? Sorry , I didn’t intend to go here but as trump says, it is what it is ! Good luck everyone !
Yes, Biden and the demoncrats have been aggressively attacking democracy ....sad to watch.
YES! it was so touching to hear a specially after watching the Let it Be series which was just fantastic
@@billsmith3042 you idiot bill !
@@TonyWhite22351 you communist Tony!

Such talent - Crosby will be missed - never to be another!!!! Their harmony was perfection!! My favorite group ever. RIP David
So many good songs! Such talent! Of course, we also have a few other groups with similar talent, like "Simon and Garfunkle, "The Eagles," "The Mamas and the Papas," and how about Dan Fogelberg?
This band has been a part of my life since 1970! 😊👍
i remember .69 like it was yesterday. grew up with these guys. never again will we have music like we had in 60's 70's and even 80's. cant believe how time flies.
Ohhh my!! I'm born in '64 and these gents taught me everything I know about harmonies..... bless them for their vocals...!
Hey Dragon, me too! ;)
@@seanbarr5871 Me three!
Born 1960.. yes
Bless David for the harmonies of my heart 🤣
70 years old and it still brings tears to my eyes thinking of a spent youth.
63 - mine was misspent but not when it comes to the music of the day and concerts. Two things I wish I would have done more of: concerts and camping.
Age 67; feel the same way
We are truly blessed to have come of age in those golden days.
My favorites Stills song. Great talents, all of them. Having opened for Stills many years ago, I got to meet him and chat him up a bit. Way talented and underrated musician.
Pure magic! Every rapper needs to hear this for inspiration and see what true music and harmony are!
This is PERFECTION. Please guys; it is a crime that you guys can't get together for a concert. There is NOTHING like the harmonies you guys have - and the fans would be SOOOOOOO happy.
Hello Debbie, How are you doing?
None of them are talking to Crosby, who tends to be a jackass.
AGREED
Absolutely correct. However some of them don't quite get along as they used to,which is very sad.
@@dennispicone6801 - So many great bands with the same "problem".....and it's a shame. The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, etc., etc. - problems getting along near the end....
2024...I am now 71....takes be back to "Peace & Love"!
Thank you for the memories! ❤
79, but same here...😂!!!
RIP David Crosby,,,Thank you for your vast contributions to our music history
This is an old video. I have seen it many times. I was 19 years old when these guys did this “little tune” at Woodstock. I have heard this song thousands of times. It never gets old. It only gets better. This is music! This is art! This is how it is supposed to be done! I believe some younger people are starting to realize the difference between the music from my era and the manufactured “music” that is coming out now. I certainly hope so!
3 guys who really could sing - one sadly no longer with us. Quite remarkable performance not forgetting Stills' beautiful guitar work. Should be played to all those budding musicians to show what they have to live up to.
There'll never be music of quality like this again so sad😔great guitar Stevens stills
I'm so glad that Judy and Stephen went on tour together a few years ago! She still sounds awesome too!
Rest well and in peace, Croz. Thank you for you incredible catalog of music. Too many people have overlooked your solo catalog over the past 50 years ... they are missing much of the remarkable music you have given to us. You will be missed.
The word "Legends" gets used far to often these days. But when you see real Legends you understand the true meaning of the word.
Sad
And is life kids.That`s how it is done.
This song always blows me away!💙🕊🕊💙
Amazing performance..... thanks for all the memories and your brilliant talent... still listening in 2022.
A sad song-tale about Stephen Stills' deep love for fellow musician Judy Collins." Sweet Judy" was his unrequited love. This song sings of the joy of preserving the memories of our lost loves.
it is amazing that after all those years, Graham Nash could still hit those high notes.
Graham Nash ,just like his fellow Englishman Jon Anderson of Yes,has an amazing alto tenor range.
David was a dear family friend and often he and Nash would dedicate this song to my Judy with her blue eye. We miss him everyday.
This is my favorite live recording of this track, not only because it is really well performed, but the age in their voice adds so much beauty to the lyrics. Stills in particular is on a other level here. I want to break down crying during his solos.
You are not alone!
this was a great version by far!
God Bless Judy Collins for inspiring this song. I love her,the song and Crosby,Stills and Nash. They are all the best.
Just wiped a tear
For those who don't know Judy Collins, Google her image & you'll immediately realize why these guys fell in love & wrote this song!
Can you imagine being the inspiration for such a song? Judy is magnificent, in her own right, but this song makes anything else she's accomplished (sooo much) above and beyond. My heart nearly burst just listening to it. What a gift.
At 38 years of age today I remember this from father playing it on vinyl. Only time I ever seen him cry. I always figured it's cause my mother's name was Judith Ann was why. But after he passed and as I grew musicly and in age I understand why. Great piece of art!5
So sorry for your losses ❤️🩹
So wonderful! It almost seemed that Steven didn't know how or didn't want to end it. I will be 73 very soon and am still blown away by the sheer massive quantity of extraordinary music that came from the 60's.
There's nothing like them. They are timeless
Steven's Guitar is just perfect. Their voices perfection 🥰
RIP David Crosby... thank you for the beautiful collaborations of music over several decades!
I'd like to have been there to see it and hear it in person; i would have cried just like now sitting here listening to this in my kitchen. I'm 67 years old, amazed at seeing these guys bring back sounds and memories of yesterday and doing a damn fine job of it, too, for three old codgers.♥️ Rest in Peace, David 👑✝️🕊️🌹
Though I am 69 but I still enjoy listening to that music,cheers my heart.
Stephen Stills...what an amazing musician!
He is even more phenomenal considering his profound hearing loss.
@Redwood Rebelgirl - He said in an interview that it was a genetic progressive issue and several others in his family are completely deaf as they got older.
Stephen Stills untilized open guitar tuning like Robbie Crigar from the Doors and I did with a banjo.Lot's of fun!
No tattoos, fake images, just legendary music. FANTASTIC!!
As if tattoos have some baring or magical deduction ability regarding talent... oooookay👍
@@meganostra6633 no, it doesn't denigrate their musical ability, however, the "tough" guy image equates to more sales, whereas
bands like CSN, Led Zep, the Beatles, Elvis, Michael Jackson(Yah, I said it, Michael Jackson) made it big just on their music and entertainment.
Yeah,real music, that's why they call it Classic,that means it deserves to go down as History...you kids out there ,take notice!!!
BYE BYE, MR. CROSBY.
THANKS FOR ALL THE MUSIC YOU'VE GIVEN US ....
