Only Stills (Everybody's Talkin ', 4 + 20, black Queen) and Josè Feliciano manage to do so hot and complete versions, voice and guitar: nothing else is needed
This beautiful soulful song really suits Stills' bluesy voice especially when he uses his confessional style where he dips and drops to let out a wide range of timbre. He has one of the most 'coloured' vocal tones I've ever heard. He was possibly the weakest singer technically CSN&Y but he sure made up for it with that colour - and POWER. Such a shame he rotted out his voice with drugs. BAD move - he might have been able to sing well as long as Garfunkel and McCartney. All have had it now, sadly, but they've left some great vocals (and tunes) - an amazing legacy.
He was dealing with demons McCartney never dreamed of, not Garfunkel. There but for the grace of God go any of us looking for relief through self-medication. Hoping he's happier now. And BTW, most of his issues come from congenital hearing loss DIAGNOSED AT AGE NINE progressing to totality. So...a little forbearance, please.
Been waiting for years for this to be up on RUclips...Thanks for posting it! This version is my favorite version of this song. Fred Neil's is great too and heck, he wrote it but Stephen does a very tasteful version on this one. Loved that acoustic one side/electric the other deal on that album...great stuff.
I had Stills live before I'd heard of Harry Neilson and Tim Buckley .refrence to Fred Neil who'd id never heard of in Australian charts but Stephen Stills kept mentioning it at the beginning.so 2021 I just researched.
Did you know Bill Withers covered this song ? I've played both Harry's and Bill's versions in a video 😉. You'll find lyrics and chords in response to this comment.

Not sure but it sounds like the E Modal tuning he uses in 'Carry On' and '4+20'. DDDDAD or with a capo at 2 EEEEBE. Have fun! It's a fantastic tuning!!!
Stephen Stills...no more words needed.
I have loved this version for years and years. I was a huge Steve Stills fan (still am) and this was on his live album.
Stills is the man ! one of the best of all time !! BRAVO !
❤ Beautiful ❤️

What an excellent arangement and cover of the original!!!!Almost unique!!!!!!!!
In my Stills playlist with the Neil original, a Stills/Crosby demo and a CSN live-in-the studio version. Thanks for the upload!

Yeah, and Word Game is a great song too. Should be posting Stephen Stills Live in Texas 1976 in a few weeks.
Agree - better than Fred's. And I think the outtake with Crosby & Nash is even better with their harmonies.
@@Woz1955 Fred Neil was a great songwriter a decent guitarist and an ok singer..

You made me curious and I was not disappointed !
@@Bazaretbemols Good cover yes.
Didn't know, but now I know you've covered this song, good job of self-promotion !
Stills.. under-rated and often over-looked. .
you mean Stephen or the song? Stephen is definitely under-appreciated.
Superbo!
I believe the vocal intro is missing. Stills says “I wish I had written this song” prior to singing it.
Wow, giving me the chills.
It's a great version..
Beautiful ♥
Thank you for sharing this - it's quite lovely.
beautiful song different than the original but still beautiful
Let me guess... you think the original is... Nilsson???? Stills was friends with Fred Neil in 1963, so...
Thanks mate!!
I’ve never clicked a video so fast
Wonderful !
Stills kind of got off track with his two albums previous to this, but here you can hear him getting back to his soulful, acoustic root.s
Nice cover. Much richer version on remastered CSY CD with Nash and Crosby back up vocals.
Can anybody tell me the tuning he uses in this version? I play it in drop D but his sounds so much fuller
Not sure but it sounds like the E Modal tuning he uses in 'Carry On' and '4+20'. DDDDAD or with a capo at 2 EEEEBE. Have fun! It's a fantastic tuning!!!
grandes versiones de este tema...Ramdy Crawford por ejemplo,pero esta de Stills es FANTASTICA
Glenn Campbell?
Glen
WHAT??? Uh, no.
theone who understood
the peak. latin twist
ruined a good song
he was blessed by Fred Neil -- who basically "gave" it to him.
Fred Neil didn't think so. And I'll go with his opinion.
Sufuckingperb.
