Suite Judy Blue Eyes 

Carl Swenson are u from NJ? I noticed your pic is of Tillie ... the guy from the 2 murals in Asbury Park on the Palace Bldg... im a Jersey girl, & have seen that since I was a little girl down the shore 😊🖤

She's still singing and her voice remains great.

Great to know!

@@carmenmcalister7338 I just found out that Stills and Collins made a recent album together called Everybody Knows and they were in the process of touring, but covid put a stop to that.

Darn covid!

And they were scared shitless.

Don't forget also Neil Young from Buffalo Springfield

@@joemiranda7382 Depending on the time, Neil was a member of the group, but was not associated with this song at all. He was hired to play keyboards at the recommendation of Ahmet Ertegun, but somewhat over Stills' objections, since the two had history. At Woodstock Neil played during the "electric" portion of the show, but left before this song was played during ther 'acoustic" portion.

Their first live gig was at Dallas Memorial Auditorium, and I was there. It was a test/warm-up gig to see if live performing would work for them. About 30 minutes before the show was supposed to start, some guys came on stage and started setting things up, getting the power on and doing sound checks. There were frisbees flying around, with a couple landing on stage. When one of the guys finished his work he started playing frisbee with the crowd. The second guy did the same, and when the third guy finished setting up, he rapped a knuckle on the baby-boom mic above the keyboard and said, "Guys, are we ready?" They shrugged and picked up guitars, and the guy at the keyboard said something to the effect of "Hi folks. I'm Steve Stills, that's David Crosby over there and Graham Nash right here. We're gonna play you some music." Graham hit the lead notes for Suite; Judy Blue Eyes and the acoustic half of the show was on! Neil joined for the electric half of the show, but never touched the keyboard. All together it was more than 2.5 hours of their music, and the best $25.00 ticket I ever bought.

Neil Young wasn't on this album or song. Just CSN.

YES!!! I am a bass player and THAT is a good reason for the headphones man!

It is a beautiful song… along with Dylan’s Sara and Neil Young’s Like A Hurricane it’s one of the best ever written

the bass line 🤤🤤🤤

So what's with the Cuba thing in the outro?

@@mikesimonian484 They just threw that in there. They decided to end with a passage unrelated to the rest of the song.

They're still good friends, though.

@@mikesimonian484 Steven Stills loves that style & wrote other songs likewise.

They just done a few shows together last year

My personal favorite is Southern Cross. Always on my playlist when I'm out sailing.

Laurie H that is also I song that I really love

@@glassshrimp6161 Yep... I've been a competitive sailor my entire adult life and I ALWAYS have this song playing... whether I'm racing in a regatta or just out for a day sail/booze cruise. It's just such a relaxing song.

That's awesome that you and brother did that which undoubtedly brought joy to your Dad, and which left you with this precious memory forever.

@@barkatthemoon100 Actually it was me and my sister... but it was awesome. I grew up in a musical family, so it was awesome. The first half of the concert was regular (electric guitars, etc..) and the second half was accoustic. And their harmonies were outstanding. My sister and I (and our Dad) always loved CSNY... still do. Always will. :-)

Yes, it's a total anthem of life.

....one of my favorites!

Jerry Garcia on pedal steel! 🎸💥

My favorite by Steven Stills is "Southern Cross"

@@rickfortier8664 Wooden Ships

An extremely overlooked guitarist. Never had anything against Neil, but I thought Stephen was by and far the best in the group

Gregg Nowell Overlooked by whom? Stephen is ranked in Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Guitarists of All Time. Neil Young is quoted as saying that “Stephen Stills is a musical genius.” (Which is true) Stephen was the first person to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, twice, on the same night. He has legions of devoted fans, who have followed him for decades. As a song-writer, multi-instrumental musician, vocalist, and producer, he is revered and respected by his peers. Perhaps he’s not as visible as some artists, mostly because he prefers it that way, but not overlooked.

Jerry Garcia on pedal steel!🎸💥

@@keef7224 I never knew that. The only band I knew of with Jerry was The Grate2 Dead.

Mike Adams Jerry wasn’t “in the band” but they were good friends and traveled in many of the same circles. I believe this is their only song he plays on, as a guest musician, but they also did a ton of Dead/CSN collaboration on Crosby’s solo album, If I Could Only Remember My Name. The Dead were working on American Beauty in the same studio at the same time, so they were all hanging out together. Also, aside from The Grateful Dead Jerry did play as a guest on many other albums, and was in numerous different bands, including New Riders of the Purple Sage, Old & In The Way, Legion of Mary, Garcia/Grisman, and of course his own Jerry Garcia Band in its many permutations over the years. Jerry was a very busy man. Probably played more notes in front of more people than just about any musician in history.

Yes, you should give it a reaction as well!

Helplessly Hoping is one of my all time favorites. Absolutely with a listen!

@@6DogNight Yes! My favorite after this one.

They had a good song called Woodstock

@@alrivers2297 "Woodstock" was written by Joni Mitchell.

@@swinde but still performed by them

They played Suite Judy Blue Eyes publicly for the very first time AT Woodstock. Stephen Stills remarked that they were really nervous. They needn’t have been. I was there and it was glorious.

Thank you so much!

maybe its because it IS CSN! lmao

Uh, they ARE Crosby, Stills & Nash.

??

YES!!!! 😊✌️♥️
