This full album AND the album Deja Vu with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young? EVERY SONG IS FANTASTIC!
CS&N, were fantastic! I saw them live many times. I thought when Young joined them, it ruined the harmonies. It took me several years to accept N.Young and to be a fan of him, too.
I own both vinyls and I can not listen to either enough! The original 3 and then 4 with the addition of Young were just on another level
The Stills-less Crosby and Nash self-titled and Wind on the Water albums. They were on a roll!
I have always said that Stephen Stills plays the sexiest guitar in rock. He has such a sensual and soulful playing style that melts in and out of the group's harmonies.
Yes.
Beat me to it. Very emotive player
I think he jammed with Jimi Hendrix and they may have recorded a few things. He's a great musician in his own right,
Oh yeah!
I've been trying to find this tone for over 40 years lol.
I'm 73 and this is still one of my favorites.
Me too on both counts!
And me
“MARAKESH EXPRESS”
Fantastic!! Different, great , bouncy sound!! And of course harmonies!!!
The song The Hollies wouldn't record. Whoops 😶🌫️✌️🫴🍁🎶
@@mrnobody3161 reminiscent of "The night the lights went out in Georgia" Song was offered to mulitple stars who said it would never work. So as a joke he had his wife, Vicky Lawrence record it.... The rest is history
A MUST HEAR Classic,, Crosby,, Stills & Nash "Marrakesh Express" ❤
I love that one too!! and You don't have to cry.
Listening to this song evokes memories of stick incense burning and reefer smoke wafting through a room lit only by black light. I was present during this era as a 20 something year old. It was mellow, mellow, mellow and we were so spoiled with the best music that human beings ever wrote, played and recorded.
They preformed this at Woodstock in the rain
Great live performance
One of the most respected groups of the time! They had some of the best harmonies in so many of their songs! They were master musicians!
For me, this group only worked when they had the genius of Neil Young with them.
Ah, you found it. Here is one of my favorite songs from an era when music was so much more intimate than these days. Soft sounds that interlace with and compliment each other to create an audio landscape that takes you on a journey. This kind of music has lyrics that are just words that convey a message, rhyming is not required. The first lyrical passage in this song is a masterpiece and the last line of the song is my favorite lyric of all time. Welcome to a true classic from days long gone...
CSN's three piece harmonies shine in the song "Guennivere" It should be your next CSN reaction!
Crosby's songs were always the trippiest, musically expansive, songs. Guinevere, Deja Vu, Lee Shore, etc. His guitars weren't typically tuned in standard tuning, so the stuff he wrote had really unusual chords and chord changes. Stills did something similar, songs like Suite:Judy Blue Eyes and others were written on guitars where 5 of the 6 strings were all tuned to the same note, E. Cheers!
We used to go to Catalina Island often . We dropped anchor an hour later David Crosby dropped anchor close by. Did not notice until night when he picked up his Guitar.
🥰
Haven't been in years, but it's sure a great place to chill. How awesome to get to hear him play in such beautiful surroundings!
Aww, love Catalina. Just went last week.
Crosby Stills Nash &Young Almost Cut My Hair
Oh please no ! That song sucks.
@@j.w.matney8390You suck if you think that.
@@j.w.matney8390If you think that then I give up, CSN&Y never produced a single song that sucked. And especially not that one And that's with or without Neil Young .
YES! That is my favorite CSNY song! I don’t know how anyone could possibly think that is not a great song.
That song is my favorite thing by David Crosby. He really pours his heart into it.
Arguably one of the anthem’s of The Flower Power Movement 60s. Amazing guitar solos by Stephen Stills. Amazing harmonies by these truly individually talented and unique artists. One of the first authentic Super Groups. Nobody can mistake their unique sound and vocals. They have stood the test of time.
"Almost Cut My Hair" a track off the 'Deja Vu' album released back in 1970 by 'Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young' is smokin' hot. Writer David Crosby is the solo vocalist in this recording which is unusual as the band records most of their material singing in harmony. Crosby on rhythm guitar enhances this banger.💫🎤🎸🎹🥁🔊🔥☮🎧
Paul Kantner of Jefferson Starship co-wrote this song and they have an amazing version as well. An apocalyptic nightmare..
CSN does the pop 40 version, JA the artsier approach.
I love the addition of the piano in the Jefferson Airplane version, it's a bit more atmospheric...
Love both versions equally...
Yes love JA's version on Volunteers!
@@lisarainbow9703And some of Jorma’s very tastiest lead licks!
Actually, Paul was in Jefferson Airplane at the time. Starship was years later.
One of their best songs, musically, instrumentally, vocally, and story telling!
"If you smile at me, I will understand,
'coz that is something everybody, everywhere,
does in the same language."
Y'all bring smiles and peace to Earth.
I love the live version of "Wooden Ships" performed at Woodstock.
Just a Song Before I Go by Crosby Stills and Nash, that's the one you need to hear next!
Absolutely! Mesmerizing sound and fascinating lyrics.
Great song
The lyrics feel less trippy and more gripping once you understand that the song describes the consequences of a nuclear apocalypse. The "purple berries" referenced in the song's introduction are iodine pills, which provide protection from radioactive nuclear fallout ("I've been eating them for six or seven weeks now, haven't got sick once").
I thought it was actual berries they found that kept them from starving
Silver people on the shoreline" are wearing radiation protection suits.
As has been mentioned, this son% was written by David Crosby and Stephen Stills of CSN and Paul Katner of Jefferson Airplane, hence the departure from the normal CSN sound
I loved the Katner tune, "Today" from Surrealistic Pillow.
This came out during the Vietnam war, and I just took it as an anti-war song, but many have said it's about enemy survivors of a nuclear war
It is NOT about survivors of a nuclear war. It is much more timeless. It is as old as mankind, trying to understand war. The silver people are far away on the shore and are the ones who would keep them fighting. They are unreal and have lost their humanity. This song is about how war, ALL war is pointless and to be avoided. They are deserting! The ships are wooden, representing freedom (from war). Many in the audience take things too literally. Like so many from the '70s, these lyrics are symbolic and CSN use metaphors to make their point.
@@rk41gator You know what is so beautiful about music/lyrics? Everyone can interpret the song in a way that is significant to them. You're not right, you're not wrong, you're hearing what moves you
@@rubroken You are right to a degree. However, words have meanings and artists have messages that can be ignored, but shouldn't be. It is like facts. The earth is round.....just not perfectly round.
@@rk41gator Great comment/analogy!
@@rubroken thank you.
This was my favorite song from the dynamic, memorable CS&N! And that bass, the harmonies..and those lyrics! Even though I haven’t heard this in over 40 years, remember every word. Free and easy!
Jefferson Airplane also recorded this song around the same time, you should check that version out as well😀
"Long Time Coming", "Almost Cut My Hair", and "Carry On" are also trippy in their way.
Stephen Stills on guitar 🔥 he and David Crosby taking turns on vocal 👍 Almost Cut My Hair next from CSNY, it’s a David Crosby song r I p ✨
Jay & Amber, you'll love CSN's "Marrakesh Express"!!!
you'll love CSNY's "Our House", "Find The Cost Of Freedom" and "Deja Vu"!!!
Graham Nash wrote "Marrakesh Express" and "Our House." "Our House" is about Joni Mitchell's house in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles, that Graham was living in with her at the time.
Possibly the only song in history with 2 original versions. Co-written with Paul Kantner this and the Jefferson Airplane versions are both the original version
even if one came out slightly before the other in the stores.
Carol King’s & James Taylor’s recordings of “You’ve Got a Friend”? Wikipedia says “The two versions were recorded simultaneously in 1971 with shared musicians” - didn’t know that fact until I checked, but the story that she gave JT the song to record before hers was released is pretty well known
Thank You!!!! This is one record I wore out many a phonograph needle to. Peace and Kindness to you both and our entire world. Be well.
One of the classic anti-war songs of the era, co-written in 1969 with Paul Kantner of the Jefferson Airplane, who also recorded a version of it.
The harmonies are fire!
The song was actually written by Jefferson Airplane and it's about the aftermath of nuclear apocalypse.
It was written by Crosby, Stills and Paul Kantner.
@@TheMarkc614 @katelynmeaghan3410 I'd love to see Jay and Amber to the Jefferson Airship version as a comparison
@@Seababy3106 Have they ever done any Airplane, and if they have I'll bet ya it's the normal Rabbit and Somebody to Hug tunes. Airplane is deep and wide with their catalog. Few go into the deep tracks and not sure if these 2 would make that jump. I'm happy they did this one as this entire album is elite. Be bold and try If I Can Only Remember My Name by Crosby, if you haven't already. Such a peaceful, yet moving and ethereal album.
@@user-wy1ev4yq5dAirplane’s “Volunteers” album would be a good place for them. I’d love to see them do “Baxter’s” “Crown of Creation” albums just not sure if those would resonate as well as Volunteers would. That would also expose them to Airplane’s “Wooden Ships”.
@@tommathews3964 I can't repeat my favorite lyrics from "Volunteers" - this is a family channel. 😂
“Southern Cross” is my favorite, absolutely stunning harmonies!!’🤓
The Music was so central to everything in those days. I was not ever, I don't think, at a gathering with young people in it where the extremely exceptional music we were currently priveledged to be hearing daily wasn't a main topic of conversation. There were important issues yes, but they had their music! And, it was mind blowing! It has to be remembered that we came out of an era that had (yes, fun) songs, like, Mama's little baby loves shortenin, shortnin, mama's Lil baby loves shortnin bread"...... And we sailed from that right into Wooden Ships, White Room, War!, Eve of Destruction, All along the Watchtower, Layla, Head out on the highway, I heard it through the Grapevine, Run through the Jungle, Crystal Blue Persuasion, He ain't Heavy He's my brother, Me and Bobby McGee, California Dreamin, Yesterday,... Where have all the flowers gone,Hurricane, and.... , "I heard the news today".... (can't recall the name)..... but, we also had... Here comes the sun. I mean my Mom and Dad's favorite song, 'their song' was Harbor lights. It reminded them of their falling in love days when they'd danced to it. My favorites were 60'&70's era... we're - changing - the - world - songs, cause somebody's gotta, & 'we', (collectively speaking) thought we could🥴,.... they're gonna destroy our world, songs, (if, we don't stop them) ..., love is a whole another kettle of fish, songs, .... Strange psychedelic, black light, And, pop art poster songs.....POW SONGS! Music and we were one in change and progression. Whether towards good or bad who knew, but, it was 'a happening', an explosion' &, where it stops nobody knows! I am not sure if today anyone can fathom or picture that.... 'change is all' feeling...? I kept fairly stable, just listening and loving the music and observing(I'm an autistic) but all around me was the 'nuclear' like destruction of the world I'd known and the threat of it literally as well. If you aren't a certain age you probably don't know how an entire civilization could ride those music fueled "wooden ships" into uncertainty.... But it's much appreciated and valued that you dig them out of the archives, dust them off and discuss and try your best to 'get it'. That's cool. Have you watched that old movie "The time Machine"? Imagine those talking rings of history if they were in music.... Music telling history.... Our era is gone, but you're not letting it be buried and forgotten. There are valuable things we learned, and they are in those talking rings of music,.... our, 'song'.... Thank you.
"make sure of all things, hold fast to what is fine"! (1Thess.5 :21, the Bible)
I wish you guys would react to CSN&Y's. "Our House". It's a great family-feel-good song.
So happy you finally listened to my favorite all time CSN song Wooden Ships. The first stanza of lyrics... depicts an encounter between two soldiers from opposite sides who come upon each other and instead of killing the other, they settle for staying alive together. Love that first line, "If you smile at me, I will understand 'Cause that is something everybody everywhere does in the same language..." Could be a naive move... but turns into lifesaving one for them both.
Jefferson Airplane did a great version of this song on their amazing album, Volunteers.
Love CSNY version but JA did a fantastic cover.
@@bobsongs2023Not exactly a cover since Kantner was a co author/creator.
@@tommathews3964 I grew up with these bands and it is sad that Kanter and Crosby are gone. Take care thanks for the comment.
Besides you guys chilling out and enjoying the jazzy vibe describing an apocalypse…here’s trivia about the LP cover.
Henry Diltz was already an established antiestablishment hippie Rock&Roll photographer. He’s had famous covers for the Doors, the Eagles, posters and concert shots for many others. He was cruising around Los Angeles with CS&N scouting locations when they spotted the ratty sofa in front of the ramshackle house. With the speed of light, they ran over, took the famous photo, and off again. Epilogue: They were so impressed with attitude the photo conveyed, they went back to the house a few days later to augment some poses only to find the place had been leveled to make way for a car wash or parking lot. One of the most recognizable covers of the era.
Wonder if that influenced Joni Mitchell to claim they paved paradise to put up a parking lot?
Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young - "Our House" - Amazingly soothing song.
You Don't Have To Cry & Everybody I Love You are songs you will love
YES! Amber will Love them. Peace and Love.😘 💜🌺🥰✌💞
Nash was a founder member of the UK band The Hollies.
You've got to listen to Jefferson Airplane's version of Wooden Ship on their album Volunteers. Stills and Nash also play on it.
One of my favorite CSN songs. It’s got David Crosby written all over it.
Amber, the difference in lyric style might be because the song was cowritten with Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane, who also released a version of this song.
How do you even come up with such a brilliant arrangement? Music like this seems to be long gone. I am thankful to have spent my youth in this era and its music.
What a great song and love this version as well as the equally awesome one by the Jefferson Airplane, you should do that when you can. Just an awesome song! Enjoy. 🔥🎵🎸🎤🎸🎤🎸🎶🔥
This debut album by Crosby, Stills and Nash might just be the most meaningful album in my lifetime. There's not a bad song on it, and so many were just so profound for my generation. The follow-up album, De Ja Vu, which added Neil Young to the group, is right up there with it. Now go listen to "Lady of the Island" and watch the goosebumps form on your arms.
Paul Kantner contributed to the creation of this song. The Airplane's recording is on the "Volunteers" album. It's worth checking out. Most people aren't aware of it.
It's the better version
Steven Stills does a great job on lead guitar on this song...the harmonies of course are perfection as usual.
Trivia….The album cover was shot by famous rock photographer Henry Diltz. It was shot on the porch of an abandoned house in LA. They hadn’t even named the group yet. A few days later they came up with Crosby, Stills and Nash because that’s the one that seem to flow the best. They then realized they were sitting in the wrong order in the album photo. They couldn’t flip the picture because then Stephen Stills would be holding his guitar backwards. So they went back to do a re-shoot with them sitting in the right order, and the house has been demolished! So the cover stood as it is.
Wow that really always bothered me that they weren't in the right order lol
@@kraig7777Now you can rest at ease.
And now you know the rest of the story
What hasn't been mentioned is Stills plays everything except for the drums.
Organ, keys, Bass and especially all the guitars.
CS&N were one of the folk rock supergroups of the 60's-70's. I had a few of their albums. Loved their harmonies. They have so many great songs such as "Marrakesh Express", "Helplessly Hoping", "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", "Southern Cross" etc. The words of the song "Wooden Ships" depicts the horrors confronting the survivors of a nuclear holocaust in which the two sides have annihilated each other.
Saw them in concert, they sounded just like the album,s
they know, they've reacted to "Helplessly Hoping", "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", "Southern Cross"
Everytime you guys do CSN and CSN&Y I ask for Almost Cut My Hair! Please play that next, love everything about this band!! Love David Crosby singing lead and Stephen and Neil play so together yet so different!! 😄
I believe this is Stephen Stills on lead vocals and playing all the instruments. For me its a song about the LAST WAR and the survivors coming together.
Deja Vu is a great album to listen too in it’s entirety, great music. 😎🍺☮️
Gotta love those purple berries... As noted below, Airplane recorded this in 1969, as Paul Kantner was involved in the writing process of Wooden Ships, but was having legal issues with Jefferson Airplane's then manager, Matthew Katz, so he received zero credit for this song. Jefferson Airplanes version is as orgasmic as CS&N. The Airplane was one of my first concerts in 1970 as a young lad. Early Airplane is often neglected by the reactionary crowd, but my lord, their music is amazing, vibrant and still fresh. Surrealistic Pillow is an island recording among many of their works. Somebody to Love and White Rabbit always get the attention. Drives me crazy. Oppps.. CS&N. Love this version and the Rob Squad. If you are curious person, read about how the cover was created for this album. And, for the record, that is not Neil looking through that door when you open the album up to display the entire front cover. Long Time Gone is superior if that's possible to this song. Ha!!!
You really will love “Guinevere” and “Cathedral”
CSN and Jefferson Airplane cowrote several songs. Check out Triad by Jefferson Airplane. Crosby wrote it when he was in The Byrds about a triad relationship and they recorded it but was not released. It was on the Airplane album Crown of Creation in '68 and then CSN dud it on their 4 Way Street album a few years later.
Also check out the first Starship Album "Blows Against the Empire." It's a sci fi oddesy and had David Crosbty, Graham Nash, Jerry Garcia and Mickey Hart (Grateful Dead) among others. Songs to check out include Let's Go Together and Hijack
I always thought of this song like it was told by an immigrant, escaping totalitarian authority. I heard once that it was Jews escaping Germany in little wooden row boats across the Baltic sea to Sweden. It was used in a movie titled "1969" where American kids were leaving the USA for Canada during the Vietnam war. Powerful scene, best of that movie.
In the late 60's CSN sailed Crosby's sail boat out of Florida and cruised the Caribbean. They were escaping from society to the islands and writing songs. Another great song from that trip is called The Lee Shore. Great Reaction to Wooden Ships.
it's amazing that aside from the voices and the drums, everything you hear on this cut was played by Stephen Stills. As someone else mentioned, this song was written by Crosby, Stills and Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane. They couldn't give Kantner credit on the CSN version because he was signed to a different label (RCA). The lyrics are about what life would be like after a nuclear war, and escaping from it on wooden ships.
"If you smile at me I will understand 'cos that is something everyone everywhere does in the same language"'
A lyric that simply changed my life as a much younger man
Recording artists in the 60's and 70's began experimenting with the stereo sounds. FM radio stations began regularly broadcasting in stereo in the early 60's. FM stations were predominately Album Oriented Rock and Classical music during those days. FM's advantages were broadcasting in stereo and very little static. The disadvantage is the range the signal would reach. Rock groups took advantage of the relatively new technique to make a more full sound and experience. Pop music was mostly played on AM stations, that did not transmit in stereo. I'm sure this is way more than you find interesting, but it does help explain why the rock groups had such fun with moving the sounds from left to right and having guitars playing in your right ear and the piano is in your left ear. It gave the music more "feeling".
Woodstock by CSN&Y is a must listen.
I've always loved this song for the harmonies and for Stephen Stills guitar work.
Mentioned by others... Find the Cost of Freedom
Omg I love this band especially this tune. It’s on my playlist. It just takes me away so smooth.
Jackson Browne wrote For Everyman as a direct answer to Wooden Ships. He felt that if you had somewhere to go, to avoid the apocalypse, he understood, but someone had to stay behind on the shore for everyone else. "But don't think too badly of one who's left holding the sand. He's just another dreamer, dreaming 'bout Everyman!!" Cheers\=/\=/
David Crosby introduced this song at Woodstock by saying something about a science fiction story “after the apocalypse or whatever it may be”.
My favorite CSN song. Lots to like but the tone of the guitar is something rarely heard in other songs - very cool.
Written by David Crosby, Steven Stills and Paul Kantner of The Jefferson Airplane who also have an incredible version of the song on their "Volunteers" album, and an INCREDIBLE live version on the Woodstock album.
Ah the war...this song was so huge when it hit
I haven't heard this song in decades. It was one of my favorites from the Woodstock album.
Written by David Crosby, Paul Kantner, and Stephen Stills,. Kantner was with with Jefferson Airplane. At Woodstock Neil Young had joined Crosby Stills and Nash. Both groups played it at Woodstock but only Crosby Stills Nash and Young made it on the Album. and film. Jefferson Airplane's performance - which ran to over 21 minutes in length and included several extended jam sections - remained unreleased until the 2009 Woodstock Experience set. Wikipedia
This album and Deja Vu are their two best records. Amazing music and harmonies that just let you chill and lose yourself. Thanks for sharing.
The tone of Stills' guitar is magical.
These guys are so good, never heard this song before, but I don’t think they could sing a bad song. They have such a beautiful harmony! 👏👏👏👏🥰♥️♥️🌹
Their hi-water mark was "Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young, Dallas Taylor, and Greg Reeves". Can ya remember all that? 😂
The "dualing earbuds" thing where the sound alternates was a "thing" back then because the 4-channel and 8-channel technology was relatively new so the producers were playing with it.
No one does it now because its "old technology "....and who wants to mess with that?
😊
I am a teenager all over again...
Saw them with Young in Atlanta in 1994. Their acapella performance of Guinnevere that night is never to be matched.
Stills guitar work on this is amazing
"Different ears" is called "stereo separation". I don't listen to modern music, so i never knew it disappeared.
The song was about 2 enemy sailors stranded together on a desert island in the beginning. Thats what the conversation was about.
Our House from Deja Vu. Graham Nash's voice and the harmonies on this are amazing!
The greatest harmonies and acoustics ever !
I had that debut album on cassette - this was 1st track on side two - I wore that tape out, only after many years. That was back when cassettes were pretty durable and could handle heat, freeze and much other abuse - the tapes often outlived multiple players! Yes, the song is about rebuilding a society after some major collapse. This song and SUITE: JUDY BLUE EYES are my CSN favorites. BTW, that song is about Judy Collins who has the bluest eyes and a great, soothing voice - check out her COOK WITH HONEY from her 1973 album True Stories and Other Dreams.
YAY!!! One of my FAVORITE CSN SONGS!!! I think ya'll are gonna DIG IT!! Oh, AMBER: THE LYRICS!! HUGS!!!
Listen to “The Lee Shore” by CSN. Really showcases David Crosby’s great voice .
As another commenter said, Stephen Stills guitar tone on this is so dark and smooth, just the best.
I have been modeling some of my meager guitar playing after this sound forever.
Oh, I just remembered their song called Laughing. Talk about hippy, dreamy vibes!!❤❤❤Joni Mitchell sings back-up!❤
"Lady Of The Island" on this album has one of the most daring lyrics leaving nothing yet all to imagination.
Great cut from the Crosby Stills and Nash LP, which was their best in my opinion. This has been said before but marvel at that backing, all instruments played by Stephen Stills except the drums. That said, I liked Jefferson Airplane's version better because of what strong solo singers Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, and Marty Balin were on that cut.
He doesn't often get credit for it but listen to that bass. Stills was really jammin!
Off that first LP you could still react to "Pre-Road Downs" "49 Bye-Byes" "Guinevere" or "Marrakesh Express."
A TRUE rock classic,, Billy Thorpe "Children Of The Sun" 🌞
One of my favorite CSN songs just puts me in a good place.
A couple of others to check out Dark Star and Just A Song Before I Go.
This is an amazing song from an amazing album, band and era. Amazing.
You really don’t hear protest songs like the ones we had back in the 60s-80s. There was so much turmoil and injustice going on and CSNY wrote a bunch of them. “Wooden Ships” was about the aftermath of a nuclear holocaust and its survivors.
And "they" should be doing it now. ✌️❤
Stephen Stills, killing it as always. This entire album is essential, along with Deja Vu.
As with many CSN songs, the lyrics have a much deeper meaning than it may seem at first. For example, this song is about the survivors of a nuclear holocaust escaping on wooden ships to start a new civilization. David Crosby was a very enthusiastic sailor, and wrote the music for wooden ships on his own sailboat the Mayan.
GINO VANNELLI - " Brother To Brother " WOW! What an AMAZING 70s Rock Groove Fast Tempo from the start. Very Different than the last reaction. The DRUMS reminds me of RUSH fast paced drumming so Cool. The Middle is Rockin' Fantastic 🎸 🎹 🔥 Yacht/Prog/Jazzy/Groovy Highly recommend this song.
i love that two out of the three were involved with joni mithcell. i bet that set up an interesting group dynamic. great song
Y'all REALLY need to react to Foxes and Fossils version of this, along with other great CSNY and other covers. They're grass roots and are spectacular!✌️❤️
