David Crosby Story: Life, Times & Aftermath. Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Laurel Canyon. 

RIP David. Harmony. No one ever did it better than you.

I used to see David Crosby almost every day in the late '80's, early '90's over at Jerry's deli in Encino. In the old old days it was DuPars, at Petit, and Ventura. He'd be In there almost every morning.

Hey all! Just wanted to add that making this video was somewhat of a revelation. The adjective that kept coming to mind about David Crosby was "survivor". I mean this guy survived band breakups, organ transplants and hard time in the federal hoowsegow and has lived to tell the tale. And oh yeah, he's a pretty ridiculous singer too!

Love hearing about the folks who created music that is timelessly beautiful. Love LOVE, CSN &Y! Thank you!

R.I.P Mr. Crosby. You made the sound track of my youth and thank you for that.

Mr Tambourine Man was my first ever LP purchase when I was 14 the week it was released, and I have been a Crosby fan ever since. Despite his many (admitted) faults, failures, and weaknesses, I still love the guy, and now that he's finally "settled down" and making some of the best music of his career, I can say it was all worth it.

RIP David Crosby...great piece

The very first concert I ever attended was The Byrds playing at Stony Brook University in Long Island, NY where I lived. I was newly into playing guitar, was infatuated by all things Byrds, and doing serious woodshedding learning their songs by repeatedly moving the needle back to licks I was learning by ear from their records. They were touring in support of the Fifth Dimension album and I was mesmerized by Eight Miles High and Mr. Spaceman at that show. The opener was The Youngbloods and they knocked me out. Anyway, it was the first time I saw a live band and was my introduction to David Crosby. RIP.

Wow, you're doing a good job of showing some great rock and roll locations of David Crosby and more,. Fantastic with the Wally Heider studios and the plaque of great artists, including my favorite, Alvin Lee. Thank you so much.

David has just passed away. Very sad Am speechless. Had the honor of hearing,his life story and meeting him in 89..Was the main speaker at a AA club. RiP. Thanks for your gift.

Great video Tim. The stories of c.s.n.y and laurel canyon is what started me watching your videos. I’m 46 and David Crosby has always been the backdrop of my rock and roll experience. I’ve loved his music, found him distasteful at times but he always kept my curiosity. Maybe that’s how his band mates felt as well. In the end, you can’t tell the history of rock and roll without talking about David Crosby. His talent was undeniable. Thanks for the videos.

Another great video. Had the honor of meeting David in 89, at an. AA recovery club. Hope he is able to stay clean and sober.

I absolutely love these videos. Please don't stop.

Tim, your work makes so many people happy! We appreciate you GREATLY. Thank You.

Great Video! Another one! That first solo record is such a strange vibey affair....

I was 10 in 1970, csny were a great sound. Thanks for great video.

'Eight Miles High'' is still under-appreciated; Roger McGuinn's 12-string sound, intending to imitate both a sitar and a saxophone, was unique, completely different from the blues-rock that would dominate the electric guitar for the next two decades.

wow, best video of its type yet, as an englishman i only recently found out about Laurel canyon etc despite enjoying the music in the 60's and 70's, well done that man

A GREAT WATCH. CHEERS.

Loved this! Thanks! ✌️&❤&🎵

Tim, great piece on one of my very favorite musicians. I purchased every record I could of CSN, and CNSY when I was in my teens. David's voice is so outstanding. I still listen to Triad and reflect on the tines. I really enjoyed this video

Thanks Again Tim !! Jimmy ...

"If I could only remember my name" 🎸🙏

And we miss him.

This is good! Nobody does this better than you Tim, so many informative cool facts, such great photographs, and a fun, groovy vibe. Thanks for the entertainment and as always, I hope you keep doing this. David Crosby was one of a kind, that's for sure, talented and wild.

Rip Croz ❤..thanks for making us feel like we were there where he lived n breathed.. beautiful areas n worth a visit

What a Totally Cool Hip and Informative video you have!

David Crosby is one of a kind!!! Wooden ships is one of my favorite songs. Loved the peek in world pacific studio. Absolutely adored Chet Baker!!! Thanks so much for another great video.✌🏽💖

Thanks Tim SB is my old haunts. I enjoy your video's

Thanks Tim, I love your “rockumentaries”, I learn so much, kinda frustrating since I used to work around these areas but I knew very little of the history you’ve shared with us. I got to visit 10452 Bellagio a few times but didn’t realise at the time it’s historical importance, when I found out it was Brian Wilson’s famous house I went back but it had gone, so sad how that’s allowed. Back home in Suffolk England now but looking forward to our next trip back there, armed with all your facts, many thanks, Ken

Nice! Thanks, and keep up the excellent music vids!

Wow...this is probably the best so far. Thanks Tim. Great music story on these guys coming together. (Heavy sigh) A sound I still listen to often. And memories of the times. The pic for the album is cool. I love that no change could be made. The line up is a given and many nevrr even identified the order if these musicians. Lol...I always wanted to do the artwork for an album. Back in the day, it was something I used to do in my spare time. I never pursued that dream unfortunately, but still love to read everuthing that would be written on those covers, inside and out. A person could learn so much from those licorice wrappers! When music changed from vinyl to disc things changed. I still read everything but miss those lp covers big and unique billboards to the sounds we listened to. Again, thanks for the video and I appreciate your passion and knowledge each video shares. Youre an artist that rates right beside the very hit stars you discuss! Did uou grow up here in California? Cool is the rule...✌️&❤&🎵

In the summer of 69, I hitchhiked from Toronto to LA with $30 in my pocket (3000 miles there and 3000 miles back). When I finally got to the promised land I ran into the ocean for a swim losing the last $15 I had to my name. Homeless and hungry I walked up to a group of hippies partying on Venus Beach and asked them if they knew of any places I could stay. I was invited back to a rented home near the beach and spent the next year partying with them all. As they say," if you can remember it you weren't there", and I don't remember much. Peace brother Tim we love your videos...

Have been to many of the locations. Lived at 1963 N Cahuenga for 10 months. A wild 10 months. Best of times . Worse of times.

Fascinating stuff,really enjoyed it,thanks man! Love from Liverpool UK 😎

Great coverage on David Crosby. Had to join. Looking forward to other good stories!

I Really enjoy your vids. Very well produced. Thank you!

Loved it...as always...

Well done on this video. I'm in full agreement w/ you on C.S.N. first singing at Joni's Laurel Canyon residence as well, cheers!💯✌

Great tour and info. Thanks

Thanks for what you do. I drove a big truck. My dad took me to California when I was 18, I fell in love, It's only rotten hole but I like it. Watch all you're stuff 😮

Subscribed.. Great vid.. Thank you. Blessings from Cumbria UK. 🙏🇬🇧

great video so much great information

Fantastic!! as always an excellent job well done....

Hi Tim, just watched this video today at lunch, not knowing what news I will hear right before I left the office. David Crosby was one of a kind.

You make a lot of great video tours and this one joins the list!

Tim, I love your videos! Keep them coming, man! Really entertaining and informative!

Another stellar episode, Mate 👍🙏

Love it tim, it's like walking with a good friend 😊

Your videos are so cool, Tim. Thanks!

Thanks Tim. These videos are gold.

thanks Tim , very cool segment 👍 Cheers ✌️🇺🇲🇨🇦✌️

Always entertaining and informative. Thanks!

Thanks Tim! Great video as always!👍🎵

love these videos very well done friend KEEP them coming

Another great video Tim! You bring that timeline too life!

Great Stuff as always ! Thanks for the tour Tim ! Peace, Rudy

Great job!!!!!! Thanks for putting this together!!! Well done!!!

Thank you for your interesting walks/drives through rock n roll history. Having grownup in so cal, I love the local history.

I live in Santa Ynez Valley and saw David last week at the grocery store. He confirmed he has stopped touring. I love seeing/hearing live music and am trying to see as many older rockers/groups before this happens. Such a bummer.

Because of David I bought my first " good guitar" as he calls it. A new Martin D-18 and it's in CROZ tuning right now. Davids signature tuning EBDGAD. And he is right, "a good guitar makes you want to play it all the time and that's how you get good!"

Tim Thanks for making these videos. As all of us "older" people who lived/partied during the 60's sadly pass away. The stories need to be told and with you tube they will live on long after we are gone. The CSN song that I like the best is Teach Your Children Well. The version I like is here on youtube. It's just them sitting on some chairs playing it acoustic.

That was an absolutely awesome video! Thank you for taking the time and for sharing it with us!

Great!!! you are a wonderful tour guide thank you for taking the time

I watched your video with waves of emotion and longing for the 60's. Such a wonderfully groovy time to be alive and in LA. And of course, can't forget; "Where did my life go?" Much of the beginnings of what occurred in the 60's there started 58 years ago! Sure enjoyed driving around in the sunshine with you. As a Canadian, you guys in the States had a very real impact on the music that shaped our lives way back then. Thanks for the memories! / SS - way up here in rainy Vancouver BC. (Be sure to hide the roaches)!

Nicely done, as always.

I really love your productions, your choices of who to highlight and especially this video the scenery. I am totally in love with Santa Barbara. Thank you for starting my day out sweetly.

Fantastic video. Keep up the great work.

He had a great voice and seemed like a really nice guy.

Hi Tim! Well done ... really enjoy your videos ... keep them coming please ...!

What a fantastic segment! As usual the production is top notch 👍.

After watching many of your videos I see you know your stuff and I enjoy your videos so I have subscribed to your channel. Thank you. Keep them coming!

Tim, so wonderful as always in the things you show us...! You explore everthing I would be interested in and then some...! I would have to move to LA and do research for a year or two to go and find the places you show me in 7 minutes of great video...! Thank you for your great work.....! You keep these great stories alive for the next generation. I can tell you for sure my 24 to 30 something year old kids know this music. They have seen these great artists over the years when I dragged them to Neil Youngs Bridge School Benefit for years on end.... They get it....! God I miss the Bridge School Benefits so much... I was at the last one with my wife not knowing it was the last one.... CSN would often show up... Along with so many others.... My next trip down south to LA will include what you have showed me in your many great videos. Well done once again Sir...!

i was just looking forward to a new Rock Essentials video from Tim - i love these - and here it is! One of the few videos i watch in 4k. Great subject. well covered!

Hot damn, so glad to see this. I hiked around Enatai and Beaux Arts in Bellevue, Washington (east side of Lake Washington across from Seattle) this afternoon with my daughter and our dogs and was thinking it had been a while since one of your videos had popped up. Parts of Bellevue always make me think of Laurel Canyon (without the palm trees, of course.) And, as always, our rain is going to start in a few weeks for a few (okay, several) months and that feeling will be gone... I've truly enjoyed your videos the past couple years and I thank you a ton! PS: Laurel Canyon was a crucible for American music. The recent output of Croz has been amazing. Neil, too. It's hard (but fun) to keep up. I wish Steven would keep pace!

Awesome video. Very interesting content!

Your video put it all together. My California stints were up in the Bay Area... SoCal is relatively unknown to me. Thank you.

Love how you unfold rock history and make it fun to learn.

Good one Tim. Music is love

Great video. I often wonder if the people that live in these houses now know that rock royalty used to live in these very homes.

Thanks Tim another great installment. I honestly don’t know how you do it. You make all this stuff so enlightening and educational. Can’t wait for the next one. Peace and love from Ohio

Yes! I love him!

Great video very interesting.☮️

🧡🧡🙏 from the UK big Croz fan 😢

Hi Tim, thanks so much for yet another superb video. I've been playing the Crosby debut LP non-stop recently and am about to do a 'Laurel Canyon; DJ mix. This footage that you post continually amazes...I'll send the mix onto you when it's done. Keep up the great work!

Perfectly timed video! I’m heading for LA & Santa Barbara on a combo business/personal trip in early October and, as a huge Byrds fan, plan to check many of these sites out. Thanks for doing these videos!!

Loved the rock tour once again. Great to see the lovely Santa Barbara area. My niece is a freshman at UCSB. Years ago I wrote a series of essays about an artist associated with the Pop Art movement who was based in LA. During that series of interviews, he conveyed that he used to play poker with Stephen Stills and Dean Stockwell. He also mentioned the Topanga Club where the locals could get in on Mondays when the club was closed to see musicians like Janis Joplin. Can't recall if you covered the Topanga Club.

So nice that a lot of the residential properties are still intact. Love Beverly Glen, all those intriguing little side roads --

Glad you touched on the Miami (Coconut Grove) connection, where David met Joni and his long time friend (and friend of mine), singer/songwriter Bob Ingram.

Another cool video , love learning about the Laurel Canyon 60s-70s scene. Been looking up the history of the Tom Mix/Zappa cabin . Would love to hear your take on that place. Thanks Tim

Great video!!! Did you know that Peter Tork gave that house to Stephen Stills? Peter was a true hippie back then, he was a nudist and would take in anyone who needed a place to live and when he decided to move on, he gave Stephen Stills the house. So much history from those days and everyone seemed to know everyone.

thx for preserving history Tim

Always good stuff!

I saw the Byrds shortly in the late 1960s at the Avalon Ballroom in San Fran. i say "shortly " because one of the band members was o stoned , they had to stop playing and that was that . fortunately the audience was equally stoned so we didn't mind that much.

Hey man. All I can say is woo hoo!!!! I love Crosby! Looking forward to watching. Hope all is well. Take care

Mr. Crosby was a part of much of my favorite music, all-time.

Enjoyed the video

Wonderful 💕

I subscribe...to your cool vids of this important chapter of CA & American History, IMHO. Keep 'em coming sir, and thx.

Fantastic❤❤❤❤
