Quel bonheur de pouvoir écouter et chanter ces titres de CSN en concert sur mon ordinateur moi qui suis de l'autre côté de l'Atlantique en France à côté de Genève. Ces chansons ont bercées toute mon enfance lorsque j'étais à Marrakech en 1976. Bien sûr j'aurai aimé entendre "Marrakech Express" ou "Teach Your Children" que j'apprenais en Anglais à l'école mais CSN&Y ont écris tellement de belles chansons.. Repose en paix 🎸David
I do naturally remember Guinevere “ introduced by my soulmate back in the 1980…..he was older than me. I was blonde . My eyes would Flicker green blue hazel. It wasn’t meant to be relationship with us” is all I’ll reveal. But he could be dead . I do hope not .everytime I hear that song,reminds me of us❤
It sounds as fresh as it did over FIFTY YEARS AGO! It is mind boggling that the parents of the kids in this weren't even born yet! I'm so glad that they are aware of and participating in such great music.
absolutely best version of "wooden ships" studio or live performance... sorry to have been out of touch raising a family to have missed this (missed Boz and Pat Metheny at Royce too)
I set 15 feet from David in a small bar in Hawaii back in 1979. What an Awesome experience that was. He was alone with his acoustic guitar & a microphone. This brings that memory back so clear. Thanks so much for this vid.
David Crosby & Venice - For the Arts Benefit, Santa Monica High School, Santa Monica, CA, 3-5-2011Albums That Should Exist Here's an interesting bootleg that I just discovered. Not long after David Crosby died in January 2023, the band Venice put this concert on their RU-vid page. I found it there and converted it to mp3s. It features Crosby and Venice performing some of the best known Crosby, Stills, Nash and sometimes Young songs. It's professionally recorded, and sounds great. I've been a fan of the band Venice since the 1990s. I think I found out about them when I saw a quote where Crosby called them his favorite musical artist. That's not totally surprising, since they have a soft rock, 1970s sound that's very similar to CSN. They're especially known for their harmony vocals. But although they've released many albums and worked with many famous musicians (including Jackson Browne, who has played with them a bunch of times), they never hit the big time.... except, oddly, in the Netherlands, where they're stars. The band Venice is very closely tied to the neighborhood of Venice in Los Angeles, as their name shows. As part of that, they've taken part in annual concerts that benefit the music programs of schools in Santa Monica. Each year, Santa Monica High School gets some surprisingly big names to play at their benefit concert, for a mere high school. For instance, in 2011, the year of this concert, not only did David Crosby and Venice play together as the headline act, but the supporting acts were America and Richard Page of the band Mr. Mister. You can read an article about the concert here: Artists Rock For Santa Monica School District: America, David Crosby, Richard Page of Mr. Mister, and Venice Support Local Schools - SM Mirror I would have included more of the concert, but the video posted on RU-vid only included the set with Crosby and Venice together. Even an earlier set just by Venice wasn't included. America and Richard Page did join in singing on the last song, "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes," but you can't really hear them. Crosby and Venice didn't just play songs where Crosby sang lead vocals. Venice has two lead vocalists, Kip Lennon and Mark Lennon (the four band members are all brothers). So Crosby sang the Crosby-written songs, and either Kip or Mark sang the lead vocals on the other CSN(Y) songs, while Crosby sang his usual harmony parts. In my opinion, the combined vocals often sound better than the CSN live versions. But that's not all. They were backed on some songs by the Santa Monica High School orchestra, plus choir, as well as a local horn section and a local drum corps! So at times there were dozens of people on stage. But they must have practiced, because it sounds very professional and well put together. It seems that Crosby performed with Venice in this annual concert multiple times. However, there aren't available recordings for most years. However, I also found a soundboard recording of the 2004 show. The first 12 tracks here are from the 2011 one. But they played two different songs at the 2004 show, "Woodstock" and "My Country 'Tis of Thee," so I've added those at the end. They happened to be the last two songs of the 2004 show, so they fit as the last songs here as well. Just the 2011 portion is 41 minutes long. But with the two extra songs at the end included, the concert is 50 minutes long. 01 talk (David Crosby & Venice) 02 Long Time Gone (David Crosby & Venice) 03 talk (David Crosby & Venice) 04 Guinnevere (David Crosby & Venice) 05 talk (David Crosby & Venice) 06 Wooden Ships (David Crosby & Venice) 07 talk (David Crosby & Venice) 08 Carry On (David Crosby & Venice) 09 talk (David Crosby & Venice) 10 Ohio (David Crosby & Venice) 11 talk (David Crosby & Venice) 12 Suite- Judy Blue Eyes (David Crosby & Venice) 13 Woodstock (David Crosby & Venice) 14 talk (David Crosby & Venice) 15 My Country 'Tis of Thee (David Crosby & Venice)
Here's 1 stead of RIP how bout play on in in melodic and harmonious refrain to the creation and the One who made it all in his language music -go Davy may your music be forever Amen Loki fare well D
That was fantastic! I really wish that Crosby was still in the world, he will never be replaced and I've spent years of my life listening to him and Nash and Stills and Neil Young, such good musicians and vocalists. This was a great concert, thanks for posting it, it was really enjoyable. (from Sandi)
