There are no words for how good this is!! Steven Stills is a brilliant performer and guitar player. Mr Nash and Mr Crosby just add to how good their ARE! Where ever they are... Luv ya guys!
Man, Stephen Stills is ripping it up!! Awesome solo on his Strat too!!! Mom and dad wouldn't let me go - i almost did anyway with some of my girl friends - 50 years? Not possible!! Peace and Love!
Stephen Stills always got his chops in guitar. I'm glad that he got his voice back after all these years. He is still my hero. Bring back the good old days of Woodstock era.
I went with my girlfriend Linda, to a CSN concert last year and it was like a religious experience. They are just as fantastic as ever. I was blown away. People were in tears over many of the songs. Just amazing to see these white haired old guys sounding just like they did in 69.
Can’t watch this without getting a tear in my eye. Im 30 years old, obviously didn’t live through the experience of Woodstock or the actual Woodstock era itself, but still Woodstock and the spirit of Woodstock has shaped my life and who I am today. This song is the ultimate testament to Woodstock and all that it impacted
I was in my final year of high school during this era, and despite having seen many of the performers over the years since, my one regret was not going to the Festival with two of my friends who did go, but I just didn’t have the money at the time. Four years ago I took my youngest son to the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, and when we were leaving, he asked me if we could make a two hour side trip because he wanted to experience Woodstock with me. We drove to Bethal, NY, went to the museum on site, and then walked down the long hill where the festival took place, and shared an herb right were the stage was. We weren’t alone, as there were about a dozen other visitors doing what we were doing, but it felt like half a million strong.
This song was written for CSN by Joni Mitchell six months after Woodstock. I hitch hiked from LA and the LA 69 rock festival to New Jersey just to go to Woodstock. It was the most memorable thing I've ever done next to witnessing the birth of my children.
@@lauragroce3816 Yes you are absolutely correct drop Joni Mitchell wrote it and it was kind of focksie and slow and Stills said let me have it we’d like to speed it up and do it and the song was born and he dated Joni Mitchell for years
This song was written by Joni the same weekend Woodstock was on. Joni played it to them straight after on their return. She had a TV show. That's why she didn't go.
Amazing. You know these guys are close to 70 yrs old here and still able to deliver the goods! Jeez, this clip just shows that Stephen Stills can still be absolute world class, if he's really into it. Actually their recent tours have been WAY better that any '74 show they did.
I grew up in a time of the most fabulous Rock n Roll Musicians this Earth will ever hear and see. The music told a story and the sound often sent goosebumps or skin rushes as your mind connected to truth. I'm thankful for the real time memories that identified a generation where their music was better than medicine.
Wonderful to remember this old time in the 60th. Unforgetable songs. Thankyou for your music. Today love and respect to you all. My heartful condolences , so sorry David is passing away. May he R.I.P. farewell
here's to Joni Mitchell... who has been hospitalized today. She captured the "moment"(the 60's... Yea Baby !!!) CSNY also recognized this gem... and immediately covered it ! All in all... a marvelous Anthem of the 60's which still rings true today !!! God Bless America !!!!
this song is one of the three major inspirations that played into my learning to play the guitar, heard this song for the first time age six or seven and it sealed the fate for me.
Stephen's voice was surprisingly in good form here. I love his voice more than the other two, but years of hard living have obviously taken their toll on him (as well as significant hearing loss). I hope he's happy and healthy.
I'm not always the biggest fan, but man, this is one kickass performance, by everybody, and my mind is duly blown. Stills absolutely kills on the vocal, but the harmonies too are more developed and tougher than any I've heard before on this tune.
Folks just enjoy this music in its most brilliant best form as you will not hear it again live. As a long time muso this is a classic example of a band being in the zone and producing a goosebump performance of the highest order. Steve is on fire and his guitar solo and ending of the song is pure class. Coz and Nash are really belting out the harmony and you can each ones input. The rest of the band have caught the vibe as their contribution just adds to the incredible performance. It is going to be near impossible to produce another CSN as their sound is so unique and to get those harmonies perfect very difficult.
Gosh, This song ALWAYS awakes so much energy in me. I am a child of that generation and I was only 1 when this came out, but this rock anthem and much of that period of music is a part of me too.
Truly great stuff! I think Stephen Stills is a much better guitar player than ever before, personally - and that's saying something. So happy to have lived in the time of this music history and to have been a part of this generation.
Great performance, like this arrangement. Stills is NOT on auto-tune. Over the years he has supposedly lost some of his hearing. Also, performing for the better part of 50+ years takes its toll on the human voice.
In an interview, Stills noted that his deafness is genetic, starting long before he played music. Nash has lost some voice on the high end. Crosby just Carries On.
Just heard the news & I can barely write this. David Crosby has passed away. We have lost one of the best performers of all time. RIP you will never be forgotten ✌️❤️
Incredible , almost 10 years have passed and there are so mant for their age but i bealive in their and i'm gratefoul for all good music they have produced Thanks a CSN BEST BAND EVER from 68 for EVER 🔥✌✌🤘🎸🎸♥♥♥♥♥
Hope your still growing up ... songs that mean alot are forever recorded and those days sqeezed the creativity out of us .. thank you steve and joni and those other guys too . Peace
Veramente fantastico,il cantante mi fa venire i brividi perché ti fa rivivere quegli anni passati ! Che meraviglia averlo vissuto ! Brividi per l' assolo di chitarra !!! Veramente emozionante !!!!❤
Graças a DEUS eu vivi essa época, fiz parte dessa estrada , com uma mochila nas costas e muitos sonhos na cabeça.... simplesmente inesquecível ...quem vivu sabe disso !!"!
I had a crush on young Stills. He had a great unique voice, lost it fairly early in his life, imo, but he pulls this off. Most underrated & underappreciated technical guitarist & singer songwriter of all time imo. Neil Young too, but he gets the deserved accolades.
Smokin hot live performance, you gotta give it up for CSN and how about Stephen Stills just shreddin on that Fender Strat, that was awesome! This is from the 2009 R&R HOF Concert at Madison Square Garden, so many of our great recording artists from all different genres performed. I recommend checkin out all of the performances that are posted on RU-vid from this historic 2 night event at MSG.
I love to hear Steve on the elec guitar! He uses the proven sound of the vintage Strat with (I presume bc I can't see on the dark stage) at least 2 to 4 Fender Tweed Twin amps. Turned all the way to 10
To think that I listened to this song in 1969, and I'm watching this video tonight, August 9/21 CSN still sound the same as always. Where in Hell did 52 years go??

THREE MY FAVORITE FLOWER-POWER-MUSIC-GENERATION TOGETHER !!! THEIR LEGENDARY SONG - GREAT PERFORMANCE !!! 46th ANNIVERSARY TODAY !!! The Woodstock Music & Art Fair "An Aquarian Exposition: 3 Days of Peace & Music" (from August 15 to 18, 1969) They was also there...
The old guys showing the new generation how its done! No autotune , no studio making you sound good and might i add sephen stills is pretty much deaf here
Damn good performance given their ages. The live version I've heard from the 60's wasn't as good as this. My only complaint, and it's a BIG one, is that they changed the melody of the chorus and left off a third of the lyrics. That chorus, as it was originally recorded, defines this song!
I wish my parents were so cool...oh wait they are they just never had a musical legacy that was embedded into the world's musical souls but they are fabulous. Cheers to you!
I agree. For me this is some of Steven's best singing, and I mean ever. And it's a punchy, tight band. A lot less folky than the original and more funky.
One of my all time favorite videos.Would, ve given anything to be there but I did see them in 2012 at cleveland on the lakefront and they were of course majical. The city scape was alive with legendary sound! God bless these guys and thank you C S N !
