Crosby Stills and Nash - Suite: Judy Blue Eyes - Live 2012 

You have a majestic soul to state that with a such rare earnesty.

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.

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&

I am 69, so much memories of that great time......

and it's absolute pleasure knowing beautiful folks like you are are around sharing this wonderful world together

Same here...🥲🥲🥲

I couldn't have said it better the soundtrack of my life! I love you David rest in peace! EXO

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 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.

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

Beautiful no one compares

ABSOFUCKINGLUTLY!!!

🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩HELLO SWEET JUDY BLUE EYES!!!!! SING FORTHCOMING !!!!!

They are four each other..

Masterpiece ❤️

Its incredible the time span of their career. Simply amazing!!!

And it's just as good if not better! I was in a trance...then I thanked you tubi! Eric Underwood Class of 81 Downey High school CA ✌️❤️🇺🇸🛐🗽

Me too

73...me too

I'm fan too...i have 63...from Québec

Same here!

73 here too!

Great music never dies.

He lived a long time to have been as sick as he was......

Did anyone catch the Beatles riff in Stevens lead part?

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.

He will live forever with his songs and his amazing work❤🎤🎸🎵🎶🎶☀️🕊

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

I could listen to this song all day long and never get tired of it. I've been listening to CSN since 1970!

I ´m 63, and grew up with this wonderful music in germany!

Heavenly my heart came alive once again thank you guys. love yawl

A wonderful beautiful time of my life. Sunshine and clover what a group. Rest in peace my Davif.

😢😂both type of tears the voices of angels. They shared Gods gift to all of us

SAME!!

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 ❤❤

I love Crosby Stills,and Nash🙏♥️🇺🇲

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.

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

😊😊😊🌼👏👏👏

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!

centuries

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

Thanks Patrick, I still have the original album!God bless you!

Back in the day,

Truly appreciate your huge talent 👏

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

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.

Lucky for dure

annebuss3409 Yes we were very blessed/lucky. I was born and raised in Orange County, CA.in 1958. And if we could go back just for a little while.

@Sono2 , your comment is a perfect example of people disagreeing just for disagreement sake. Why polarise?

And no auto tune

@@infinitystem6565 0

@@CRyan-yh3pt i love CSNY, but there is soooo much auto-tune (pitch correction) on this video haha.

The best of the best!!

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.

I just finished listening, as a first time listener. Top notch goosebumps.

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….

David c . Stills , and Nash dumpi

"The queen of the Caribbean Sea" 8:50

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!).

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?

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..........

@@wolfedavid3700 Trump and DeSantis will be in prison in 2024. Happy Days!!!

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional.

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?

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!

Me too been a fan since day one

They can still harmonize just as good when they were younger

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

well put :)

He is VERY moved by the music...

Yes I just watched an interview with him today and the last thing he said was “I know that I don’t have a lot of time left here and I just wanna write all that I can and try to make a difference in this world.” He’s top notch.

They did this song last at Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NJ a few years back, might've be 2012. It was an even better and more energetic performance than this one. Anyway, after the show each one was escorted to the bus. Stills was last and he was limping and huffin' and puffin" with his head down as he walked. Felt bad for him. Gave it is all. It actually was an amazing performance!

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

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!

❤

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 😉

Sad

And is life kids.That`s how it is done.

what a treat. miss you croz

Beautiful harmonies...voices of the angels.

Yes I did as well, amazing!

Ya that was cool.

Yes!

Graham Nash ,just like his fellow Englishman Jon Anderson of Yes,has an amazing alto tenor range.

So sorry for your losses ❤️‍🩹

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.

I was nine years old when this came out - still think it's their best song

The anthem of my youth.....

Tony Girratono Na! Na! Na! "Our Generation ...Man...Dig It! 🆒💪💪👌👌👌👍🦅🇺🇸🆒😎

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. 😊

Stills was always my favorite of the three...though they were all masters.

exactly!

He makes it seem so easy, but it's very difficult. He has said was put on this earth to sing harmony, and he does it beautifully.

Spot on 👍the hardest harmony of all.

I'd give my left arm (figuratively!) to listen to Crosby's mic soloed.

silas fatchett listen to his new stuff. Sky Trails and Hear If You Listen. Amazing stuff.

So are they (or thereabouts!)

After their concert in Knoxville Tn, to quote a friend there, she says " wow these old guys can rock " I agree 110%

68 same

Waaaaaa!!! :(-o

Yes. That was great.

@@Catbooks Yes, I heard that also! Had to sing it in my head after pausing the video to ID the lick. Perfect melding of two supreme musical bits from my youth.

I think he is using an open chord tuning on the guitar. But yes homage to George.

I tought no ond notice it. And when Nash says “god bless george” it’s such an blessing piece

@@BrunoPetcov I didn't hear him say that. Thanks for pointing it out.

"And life goes on within you, and without you"

Crosby and Nash, still wowed by the brilliance of their long-time partner.

57berg, well said, my man.

That's the truth. What God Loves!

As is time ... omg

I gotta say that I wish I'd payed more attention to stuff back then, much more aware of what we were listening to

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....

hardly....ugg

On Suite Judy Blue Eyes, he's using a Takamine. Look @ the bridge & noticed it's split. I think it an FS-375, but not sure.

Martin D41 or D45

Ditto, I’m 68

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!

Corricopat Crosby,Stills,Nash and Young. and the Doobie Brothers two great bands

Corricopat I see what you did there!

What kind of disgruntled troll would dislike this perfected harmonized performance?

...but only by the best it has to be said

Listen and learn,...this is and always will be, REAL MUSIC..!

Bruno Cuksts I'm 15 years old and I hear you, man. I completely agree

Harry Rosson Tell all your friends at school..Get your heads together..You have it in your soul..Bring it alive so we can listen again before we go to the sky

I learned that this music was the real shit a long time ago. Thanks Dad!

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 ?

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.

Hello Mary, How are you doing?

Graham Nash was a member of The Hollies as I recall.

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.

spanky2964 I've been on this all evening. I'm still crying

ditto

spanky2964 I cry too. for two reasons though. one, This song is beautiful. two I'm sad that music isn't done this way anymore.

Beauty comes through the heart. These three guys shared something priceless with us and I am grateful.

Me too. Now 65. :)
