- Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young perform "Almost Cut My Hair" at the Farm Aid concert in Bristow, Virginia on September 17, 2000.
Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

Every time you put Neil Young on the stage with C S N , it brings an intense level of energy to the group as a whole

I'd miss Crosby over Young's "Take down Joe Rogan's ideas on the damage of vaccines" any day but together is when they definitely work best.
Just started to listen to Crosby, Stills,Nash and Young in 2023! Didn't know what i was missing! These guy's are Fantastic! RIP David Crosby.
Don't get me wrong, I listened to their music... But never really LISTENED!
I never get enough of Stephen & Neil playing guitar together. It's magic every time.
Remember when CSNY broke up, Stills and Young released an album together and Nash and Crosby released an album together? They picked the person they meshed with the best. Neil and Stephen always have meshed together both as guitarists and lyricists.
It's why Stills wanted Young in the group. Nash didn't want to do anything to change the perfection of their unique vocal harmonies. He met Young and asked him why they should invite him to be part of the group. Young asked him if he had ever heard him and Young play guitars together. Nash said that he had, and the group became CSNY.
David once said the first time he heard Neil sing, he wanted him in the band.
It's the very best hey!!~~~~
About six years ago my beautiful 40 yr old daughter called me to say she had listened to this and loved it. Makes an old Dad feel good!
Came here on this day to hear David Crosby live with these guys. RIP to him and his heavenly harmonies.
Totally agree and I’m jealous you were there
They got me through the 70's. The band was not above or below us, but with all it's faults and genius, honestly one of us. Listening to their music, always made me feel like we were part of a larger family, learning, struggling, celebrating, not giving into greed or ignorance, but reminding what life was and what could be. So glad they got a lot of it recorded. Peace and Love to the family and beyond....carry on
Such as awesome post! I agree 100%.
Beautifully stated 🙏
I agree; I came back from Nam and fifteen days later was back in college in Statesboro and I played their vinyl the next couple of years having fun.
Amen, Brother!
The hippies were right...about almost everything. Where did the momentum go from that time? 63 still a hippie and proud of it!
me too and i am seventy.
The momentum died when the Stones stupidly hired the Hells Angels as "security" at the Altamount, CA concert, Dec. 1969, 4 months after Woodstock. It was the opposite of "3 days of peace, love, and music." It was generally called "R&R's worst day in history," by Rolling Stone Magazine. The violence destroyed the myth of "a new generation of flower power." By early-mid 70's, we reverted back to the dancing of the 50's, with a new name.... disco. The end.
@Dfw Fqdefqw I do know. I was there and lived it. You have no sense of history.
Bill Brandine - you pegged it brother!
@@billbrandine5857 Especially Abba and Bee Gees killed the serious pop-music. Before, there was an attempt to make great music, an attempt to tell a story, but now - from 1972 and after, the only thing that counted was to make a number one hit.
Seeing Stills and Young clearly enjoying themselves was icing on the cake. One of the best Farm Aids ever.
I recently cut my hair and my ears got longer.
Artists like this who stood up for what's right and stuck it to the man are desperately needed today. Nobody has balls anymore.
❤
This was 20 years ago, folks. Goodness gracious. ...and say what you want about him, but David Crosby is an absolute genius.
Yaaawhooo right on rockin out forever
I’ve loved the Cros for all these years.
He's a POS and was carried by three much more talented musicians.
@@sgt.thundercok4704 Carried? Sure, but Nash is probably not a POS.
Gotta love Neil's reaction to Stills takin' the paint off the walls. Pure rock joy.
I barely ever see David Crosby perform live but let me tell ya,he is at his very, VERY best vocally right here and let's not forget just how great a guitarist STEVEN STILLS is.... AMAZING!!
Oakland Coliseum in 2000
I know there was a lot of drama surrounding CSN&Y, but let's face it, they are (were) all incredibly driven musicians, very strong personalities, very, very talented, and when they really played together, it was magical. And let's acknowledge the GOAT on bass - Donald 'Duck' Dunn. Yes, I love Phil and Mike, but Donald 'Duck' Dunn was a legend.
Yes, Donald passed away too young, only 70 just read...
Steven Stills was and still is one of the greatest vocalist and musicians ever
That's David Crosby singing.
No doubt, friend. Stephen Stills is a giant.
@@johnplink true fan that he is huh 😂
I needed to hear/see this video today. Right now. This moment. I had been searching for a more "classic" performance of this Crosby anthem, but once I watched this Farm Aid clip, I was reduced to tears of joy and sadness. This is a powerful performance to begin with, but given Mr. Crosby's passing, its power is multiplied x100.
Well said.
I’m barely 39 and it nearly brings tears to my eyes listening to this and knowing music like this is no longer made. For all the old times here, thank you for paving the way for some of us to follow in. May you all be blessed with many years of letting that freak flag fly!
It’s a genuine shame that artists like this are gone. I’ve lived through that era, blessed well, except for going to Vietnam but it’s all good man a lot of us survived.
To P.Gazza. While there are still people like you, who get it, ad understand, then everything they have done will go on!
@@downsouth9146 They're not gone yet.
Get your head out of the sand. Check out Ty Segall. Try “And, Goodnight” first. Most similar to this type of jam. RIP Crosby.
It does bring tears to my eyes. RIP David Crosby
"Almost cut my hair" is such a profound statement.
DAYUM! David sounds just as good as he did on the album! These guys made some of the ABSOLUTE BEST music to come out of the 60's!
44
I still remember and feel the impact of this song in the late '60s. At age 64, I'm lucky my freak flag is still full and I'll proudly fly it as long as I still have the hair. Yeah, maybe I'm a dinosaur because I still sincerely wish ya'll...PEACE. Maybe it's more important now than ever...
I too am 64 and chemotherapy took all my hair, when it returned I swore it was home to stay even if the cancer returns and kills me. I'll have my long grey silver locks poking out from under the coffin flowing out from under the lid. You can't take the hippy out of the man
agreed
Very cool. Love the freak flag.
I'm 74. With you. Love those hippies tm.
Same here.. I'm 67
What a wonderful time to be on this planet at this exact time and listening to the gifts Crosby Stills Nash & Young has given us in the world
They should go on stage together for a last time before it's too late. This troubled world needs them to perform again more than ever.
Crosby's passionate singing never ceases to amaze
@Luc Colpaert....I think that's why music from the 60's and 70's is so great. The artists were all so passionate about their music. And they enjoyed playing for an audience as much as the audience dug it. I just don't see that much passion today.
Is this guy always the singer?
@@lilme7052 one of them, they all sing the songs they write usually
@@lilme7052 no, they ALL sing -fantastically! Do yourself a favour and check their music out, on the internet!
We desperately need a music movement badly in this day and age I feel it in my bones
This is what it's all about. What a fine band.
I hear you, man
@It’s just a bean_ Lord Straight business my brother. I think we need real musicians, playing real instruments, in front of a live audience, and the music is telling us a story. If that's the movement you are referring to, I'm in! My brother be well and safe, peace to you and yours.
@@maf5454 What boggles my mind, is, people have tuned out so far away from real instruments. I sent, "Picture Book' by The Kinks to a lady friend and she said, "I don't like this...there's too many beats" Ugh!
@@maf5454 (
Still Letting my ”Freak Flag Fly” at 72 here in Sydney, Australia. Hoping you can get a positive change in the US come November and rise again. Stay Safe. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you brother God-bless you
It will happen!
There is a big difference between the 60's generation and the millenials of today.
My generation was fighting against the establishment for all of the oppressed. The millenials have been indoctrinated in public schools along with the aid of propagandist MSM into fighting along racial lines.
If we don't join together, we are doomed!
@@markz5505
Ouch.
The TRUTH almost hurts.
Hope the same for Melbourne; we all live in strange times now, I wonder what's next -
David's voice and music will probably outlive humanity..csny all the guys have a huge footprint on modern music. When i first heard this music about 50yrs ago I figured I'd listening to when I was old.
Crosby vocals on this, best ever; anywhere, anytime.
Never appreciated what a great lead guitarist NY is. The rifts were brilliant.
Are you joooking neil is one of the best lead guitarists of all time! theres a live video of him doing 'like a hurricane' with crazy horse in 86 where he's on fire.
Great performance by all !!! Steven stills playing that guitar like he is trying to break something. Love it!!👍🏻👍🏻✌✌
That was moving. Today's music has no heart, whereas this is all heart.
This was one heck of a concert...these four guys can perform to perfection!!!This song gets me everytime!!!!
Watching this 20 years later and the miracle is they are all still alive.
Or not in prison! lol
I didn't think I'd live past 22.. surprise surprise 76
It’d be an even bigger miracle if they’d regroup and make another album.
Especially David Crosby
RIP Duck Dunn!....stud
This song is one of the best at expressing the culture and attitudes in 1970. In my top 10 favorite songs. Back when this song came out I did not cut my hair for three years, Then my job was more important so I cut it. Now I am happily retired. I haven't cut my hair in over ten years..... I have been fortunate to see C.S.N. Live 3 times. They did this awesome tune each time and the crowd loves it. The last show was at Doubleday Field Cooperstown N.Y. and I recorded the show in full HD 5.1 surround sound The recording is awesome. Have a Splendid Successful Day
God DAMN right!! It's been my anthem, my mantra, my raison d'être since the moment this song hit the airwaves. It was a message for the Aquarian Age, baby and now it's finally here. Above all else, establish a moral code to live by, and in doing so, be as authentic and honest with yourself as possible. It becomes a shield of honor and protection, yet it raises the frequency and vibration of the entire planet. Get on it people times a wastin'.
I concur! Well said.
David Crosby was a great singer-song writer and he will be missed 😢
Wow! Completely forgot about this song. When I realized that Crosby Stills and Young were going to do it I totally went into shock. I love it. And to hear them playing it live, now, I closed my eyes and it was just like listening to it 50 years ago. I almost lite a joint but forgot I haven’t smoked for a long while. And Nash.
Certifiably insane solo by Stills...they all did a great job. Loved Crosby's singing
One word describing David Crosby unapologetic...........after being in 2 of the most popular bands of our time he had that talent burning.
YOU INFLUENCED MY LIFE
Amazing. Just so good all together. Incredible musicians and songwriters. Man, I miss those days. Look what we have now on the Pop charts .. Oy!
I'm 42 I stopped buying new music in 2017 I now go back and look for classic albums from great bands like this. And yes I still go to record shops and walk around browsing.
Oy vay!
Yeah, it breaks my heart to see where we've ended up.
What can anyone say !!!! Crosby ,,, Stills ,,, Nash. Young …. A collective of total genius ,,,, each one of them has amazing albums behind them. And this track is sublime !!!! For anyone who hasn’t heard IF ONLY I COULD REMEMBER MY NAME …. Crosby ,,,, my go to album … just listen ,,,, then the rest of these guys work. INCREDIBLE IS THE WORD G
If I Could Only Remember my Name has one track on it that I know was absolutely Cosmic, I'm not sure if it was the title track or not, but I'm going to have to go back and investigate that Bloody album from top to bottom because that was my go-to album for a while ...that and Tracy Nelson Down So Low.... some of the other unknown lights and luminaries on the San Francisco scene starting with Naughty Women, the cross dressing band that had Izzy Stradlin playing drums, and who later put together Guns and Roses ....and then all the way up to the Chambers Brothers, Zolar X and Automatic Man ....Michael Shrieve's band that truly was the first real black super group in the Bay Area after Sly and the Family Stone, all measured up besides Hendrix's Band of Gypsies ...but worthy of the name, way before Living Color of course, although my hat goes off to them as well.... and of course the Bad Brains .... total badass players ....
Every time I think about maybe cutting off my long, gray, thinning hair I run into this song. Sixty-eight and STILL can’t seem to conform to the societal norms that I DO NOT RELATE TO. Thank you, David, for this wonderful trip down memory lane. RIP
There will never be or was ever 4 people who sounded so good together
what an anthem for a generation
RIP David Crosby. What a fantastic live performance from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young ! 🎤🎷🎸🎹🎺🥁
Times are such that almost every week one of our old rock gods or goddesses dies. And in western countries there is hardly any prospect of offspring. If you ask a 17-year-old about rock and heavy metal today, you'll get the answer: "Ahh rock, is that these 80-year-old great-grandfathers?" "And heavy metal, is that those 60 year old grandpas?" 5 generations invented this music, made it big, enjoyed it and now we let it die ???
Support the next generation dear friends, buy music from young rock and metal artists from all over the world !!!🙏🤘🙏
Yes right!
Did Stills and Young ever imagine this sort of moment in those Buffalo Springfield days - what's that sound !!
I remember hearing this song for the first time in the early 1970’s, the simple lyrics struck me deep. In a few lines it captured the troubled times and in the last verse it offered a philosophy of life. In this video from Farm Aid 2000, Crosby is singing it with all the agony and ecstasy of his life. The guitar solos and spirit are brilliant. I’ve watched this many times and each time is like the first.
Incredible musicians and songwriters. I miss those days
I still remember and feel the impact of this song in the late '60s.
Man, I hear ya. So do I miss those days, so do I.
This is how cool music should be.... played by old guys!
Old guys!??! Ok, I guess we are!@!
Old guys!??! Ok, I guess we are!!
Old , young , whatever , that is amazing , top tier talent , guys like this get paid big bucks
I love seeing these people we saw singing when they were young , now older and still playing. We got used to thinking of the music of that time as made by young people, but we have all grown older and yet here we all are, they play and we listen.
Not old, brother. Just been young longer than most! Most of my friends say that I'm living in the past with the music I play (guitar) and listen to. I say, NOT TRUE! I brought the past up here with me!!!
R.I.P. David Crosby. A legend in the days of Woodstock. I love his work with the Byrds, and of course with CSN&Y. My band has been playin this song for many years, and it's one of my favorites to play. This, along with Wooden Ships and Woodstock, are my favorite songs that he was a part of. He will be missed!🎸🎤🎵
I'm proud to be a middle aged hippie. I grew up in Santa Cruz and Santa Clara California, about an hour from Golden Gate Park and the Hate Ashbury. I was there for every moment of the life and love. I miss the life and music. I'm 70 nowadays but still hang and love my real 💓 music. ROCK AND ROLL.
I now hail from a Florida address, where's the music? JW
still young at 65 and still believe in peace love and music. the music of this generation will never be matched. I'm proud to have passed my love to my awesome sons and grandson. Hippie's forever
Yeah man I started losing my hair in the 80's but I still let my freak flag fly. Had to go through some troubles like most people but I still am rockin ,playing guitar and just trying to be friendly.
E l tiempo no pasa por la buena música
My beautiful mom passed away fine years ago on Nov 30th, Neil you're music is giving love,
One of the greatest tune ever. One of the best group of musicians ever in my opinion.
This is so fascinating to watch! I just watched the 1974 live footage of them performing this song. This video seems more iconic! I like that they are older men still rockin out! It's pure rock n roll!!😊😊
I clicked on this one because I saw Still with a V!!! Awesome!
lol me 2
Stills and Young ageless genius on gutairs
I'm just gonna go ahead and label this as EPIC.
'and when they are no longer with us,...what then ? Bieber ?...please God let them live/play forever !!
Rubbish!
Bieber is a commercial pop singer same as Donny Osmond.
There’s talented young musicians & bands out there.
If you can be bothered looking for it.
There's still good rock n roll today, you just have to find it.
How lucky are Crosby, Stills , Nash And Young to be on stage with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young?
30 years after his prime, 20 years ago, and he’s still got it ✌🏽
One of my all-time favorite songs.
Awesome performance.!!
Don't know if this counts as David's best song - there's at least three or four great contenders, but this is my oersonal fave; the one that still brings tears to my eyes( I'm typing with wet cheek now). It captures the shared vision and dreams we all had, and we told each other so by simply not cutting our hair for a few years. One of the many fantastic cuts on the greatest hippie album of all time - Deja Vu.
Sure, like so many, by the time the 70s finished I had cut my hair. It was even shortish in the 80s and 90s. However, now, in the second "roaring 20s" - not a roaring non-stop party this time, but the recurrent roar for social and environmental change, and to stop yet another war - I'm letting my "freak flag fly" again.
People, the world still needs us, more than ever. Let's keep the dreams alive and turn them into reality!
Dave - your spirit still lives on in millions of beating true hearts - you will never be forgotten. Love ya, man. ✌&❤ forever.
Amazing after all of these years.Still the great band we started listening to in late 60'SAS young teens!Just Wow!Makes me feel like we are not so old!!!
Man, I hear you. Listening to this great music, these great musicians, takes me back and brings tears to my eyes.
Wow !!! Legend , so much talent , incredible song , what a voice !! Wherever you are now David , your star will shine forever , Thank you for all your music and poetry 😢❤❤ we love you
Just noticing that a lot of the music was bluesy really. This music took me through the seventies.....thanks David and Yall
Beautiful music!
Crosby, Stills und Nash und Neil Young war eine großartige Band
Wir hatten in den 70ern im Osten 2 LPs von CSNY und haben die fast komplett nachgespielt. Es war einfach eine fantastische Zeit, weil auch die Fans diese Musik geliebt haben - ich liebe sie heute noch.
In one year, they changed music forever. ❤❤
They never were together for more than year at a time.
This was 22 years ago . I believe they are all still with us today . Stills looks like he was having a blast
ONE of My all time favorite songs, brings me back to the Sixties , where some of the greatest music was put out !!
Ed Tortorici except this song was made in the 70's!
my favorite song
Saw this tour at Staples Center in L.A. and Crosby was just ON it the whole night. The energy and life coming from him was unforgettable.
THE MOST BESTEST men to do the best ON STAGE,,, I doesn't get any better than this -----ROCK ICONS.,. we should treasure FOREVER -- RIP David Crosby - you were the founding father of ths most wonderul era - that this lady I SOooooo grateful.........we had it SO DANG GOOD .........keep rockin on people xxxxxx
What can you say ,,,, probably the greatest band ever if you take on all there stuff plus amazing individual works ,,,, lost for words how good !!!! Gx
'I will now proceed to entangle the entire area'
"I feel like I owe it, to someone." My all time favorite line in a song!
I been listening to crosby, stills, Nash and young since 1970, I'm 66, still a hippie, the real breed? My people matter when the next Woodstock happens!
Deja Vu one of the finest albums of all time
Stephen Stills licks and solo are really the best here ! he still is a great guitarist and composer , glad to see him so well !!!
barjoblues agreed but this was 18 years ago
He plays with Kenny Wayne Sheppard in "the Rides" also.
Stephen Stills always was my favorite from the band. Saw him solo in the 70s. The best, but gotta say Dave Crosby is a great singer.
RIP David Crosby, this is one of my favorite song ever, " almost cut my hair " , but you never did it..... so long
An entire generation will be missing David's incredible skill and creativity; he, along with the rest of the group, helped to shape the man I've become, and I am eternally grateful.
I truly did "almost cut my hair today", momentary loss of sanity for a minute
He used to play this when he "lived" in my hometown...the warden hated it.
Steve rocked this! Good bye David, rock on- and say HI to your brother!
The boy I enjoyed this with has been dead a while, died an old man working for the government. And it don’t matter. We loved it together and now I remember him being 18. Music does it most powerfully, this keeping old lovers alive.
goddamn! how good is this!? damn!!
Rest in peace ✌️ David. This is my favorite song of yours! ❤️
No one can beat this shinning band !
I REALLY LOVE THIS GUYS!!!!!!!!!! NOW MORE THAN EVER.
These gentlemen are great! I love their music. No matter how older we get, these gents will always be in my top 5. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Gentlemen. - A fellow musician. :)
dead right Genevieve,spot on.jpj
What an awesome performance! Miss you already David.
They've grown big, but boy they're still rockin'.
You can tell everyone one of them know they just played a perfect set. This brought tears to my eyes, and I have hears this so many times, and it never gets old.
Barry, you are right. Stills is killing it in this one.
Stills will always be my favorite guitar player.
Stills is a great guitarist wherr Neil is fun to watch. Turn the sound off when watching neil sometime. Looks likehes having a seizure. Same w Eddie Vedder
Makes me feel sad sometimes...♥ we gone old and older and one day
We are going to heaven....♥ my heart crying
THX! AGAIN! ! He Spoke Truth in His Book...Rest my Friend...
RIP David Crosby, te escucho desde mis 16 años, hoy tengo 68 y te sigo escuchando !!!!!!!!!!
By far, my favorite tune of theirs.
My favorite group of all times....
Just love them...
❤️
I love Crosby's vocals on all versions of this song. Stands up to screaming guitars by himself, Neil and Stephen. There was a concert so long ago, I think Moses was there, and the first half was acoustic, and the second half was all electric. Love you, Aany way you play.
Thanks for the music David. We will cherish it forever. RIP
Been listening to this song (and album) since 1971 when my big brother bought it, I'll never tire of it. Lyrics might be a bit dated, but the playing and David's singing is the best there ever was
4 LEGENDS together! Great performance for this timeless song
