There are no background singers here; just an incredibly organic blending of their unique voices and instrumentals. I’m happy that this lovely young lady has discovered this great music!
Watching these reaction videos can be an interesting experience for me. I just turned 60, and it feels like my life is now officially over. When you said that you had never heard of CSN, as so often is the case when I watch young people on these, my mind is blown because as current as I try to be, in my mind it would not be realistically possible to have not heard of Crosby, Stills, and Nash (and Young). They are definitely well within the pantheon of superstars. Then I feel about 160 years old, and a little sad. But it's all a matter of perspective. I remember how grateful to have not been born before this music, and to have witnessed the creation of so much timeless music. I got to see many of them before they turned 65, when it was all alive and new. And I feel privileged to have been alive to see it. I enjoyed the joyousness of your reaction. If you didn't feel that vibration, then you missed out. But this is one of those compositions that everyone loves. There are certain tunes that are pretty much impossible for a human to dislike. This is one of those songs. I think a person would need to be pretty deranged not to really enjoy listening to this one. It is probably considered to be their standard, but they have such an extensive library of great songs. I prefer their more rock sounding stuff. I think "Long time gone" is a great example of a song that is as lyrically relevant in 2021 as in 1969. I particularly like "Carry on/Questions". Especially the Questions part. It is a time travel song for me. I'm on a Greyhound bus rolling into the morning, with that song looping through my thoughts as the foggy night rolls past.✌️🤙😎
Steven Stills is incredibly underrated as a guitar player.
So true. On their first album Stephen Stills played virtually all the guitar parts .
I love that he's using a Leslie in this recording. Always thought it was a signature sound of his.
Plays a mean B3 too.
He is very highly rated in his legacy, but unusually, he still is underrated despite receiving ample adulation throughout his career. CSN&Y and their sidemen included great instrumentalists, but the vocals, harmonies, and songwriting were always front and center on record -- they opened it up to more Stills dazzle in concert. Stephen Stills demonstrated great creativity throughout his ongoing career that there is nothing he can't play with layers of technical brilliance.
I must add that he wrote this classic love "suite" for Judy Collins, but as a solo artist, also wrote a great hippie anthem with the famous chorus "If you can't be with the one you love, Honey love the one you're with".
Radical free love pervert kids taking over the world Maude!!!!
CROSBY,, STILLS & NASH "MARRAKESH EXPRESS" & "SOUTHERN CROSS"..CLASSICS
Crosby (ex Byrds), Stills (ex Buffalo Springfield) and Nash (ex Hollies) were one of the first 'Supergroups', Neil Young later joined to become CSN&Y. All were singer songwriters and guitarists in their own right and as you can hear also harmonised beautifully.
Neil Young was also in Buffalo with Stills but left to do his own thing
Yeah... when Neil joined they became a superduper group.
Young was added because Stills was the only capable guitarist to play their songs, so the record company asked Stills wouldn’t it be better if they added another guitarist like Young?
Now none of them are talking to the others.
Known then as "The Firm".
CSN is one of the first great supergroups from the 60's/70's. Flawless harmonies on everything they put out. Amazing on recordings or live.
I was at a CSNY concert the night Nixon resigned. Crosby announced it and the band started playing the intro to Ohio and then broke into Carry On. Unforgettable show.
I would have flipped out! Just too great.
I was watching Jim Stafford open for the Righteous Brothers. So fitting since Jim was a writer on the Smother Bros Show Nixon hated and got cancelled.
CROSBY,, STILLS,, NASH & YOUNG "DEJA VU" ALBUM/CD Is Absolutely Iconic & A Must Have In Anyone's Music Collection.
Stephen spent his high school years in Costa Rica and that's an influence that has run all the way through his musical career.
CUBAN lyrics, at the end of the song; "What beauty Cuba brings me,
The queen of the caribbean Sea,
There’s no blood in the sun or sky.
Oh, how sad I cannot go.
Oh go, oh go, go."
Stephen Stills is singing the lead (lowest voice) David Crosby is in the middle, Graham Nash singing the top parts. Depending on the song, any of them can sing lead, but they all do harmonies.
Correct! Crosby was "the wonderful glue" (paraphrasing Stills in a Bob Costas Later interview) that held the three voices together. Same as George Harrison in the Beatles. You cannot easily pick them out aurally as you can the higher and lower singers, but it's sure not the same without those middles.
And playing all the instruments.
Three of the greatest singer/songwriter/ guitarists ever and unbeatable in their harmonies
OMG you’ve got to listen to “Carry On “ by these guys. I think you have a 60s, 70s spirit or vibe for music , love it.
My second favorite of theirs, after “Southern Cross.”
Mine too. I hope she reacts to it.
This “fun little love song” is one of the best songs EVER written and recorded. As a kid I always thought it was Sweet Judy Blues Eyes because of the color of her eyes which are spectacularly blue until I became a musician and realized it was Suite!
My tribute to the song
ruclips.net/video/KbKgqHoXelI/видео.html
Had front row once at a fair and they sang SC it was amazing
Southern Cross is just so beautiful, every time I hear it it sounds fresh & new.
Other CSN/CSNY songs you must give a listen to: "Woodstock," "Carry On," and "Wooden Ships." You'll be glad you did... :)
Oh, I almost forgot - "Dark Star" and "Just A Song Before I Go." These guys are just masterful musicians/songwriters.
Woodstock, gives me happy chills every damn time
IMHO, Matthew's Southern Comfort did the best cover of Woodstock. Check it out!
Woodstock written by Joni Mitchell who couldn't attend.
Just a Song Before I Go destroys me. Every time.
Long time gone
One of the beautiful things about CSN and CSNY is that no one really sings backing vocals. The harmonies are the lead vocals. All members were seasoned songwriters in their own right and each brought their own material for the group to mesh into their signature sound. Each of them had come from bands and backgrounds where harmonies were also part of their organic sound, particularly Graham Nash from The Hollies and David Crosby from The Byrds. Stephen Stills came from Buffalo Springfield and, before that, was part of a duo in Greenwich Village with Peter Tork.
Stills had auditioned for The Monkees and almost had the part, but the producers had reservations, so he recommended his good friend Peter, who was exactly right for the role. Music history would have been very different had Stills been a Monkee and not being par of Buffalo Springfield and CSN and sometimes Y.
This song is honestly just the tip of the iceberg for a raft of great songs from this group.
Stephen stills was one of the best composers in the 20th century
Crosby, Stills and Nash, one of the powerhouse of the 60s, 70s etc. Well worth the listen to their harmonies. So amazing even after all these years.
Other CSN&Y gems:
Helplessly Hoping
Deja Vu
Carry On
Almost Cut My Hair
you will love their song "southern cross". the imagery will blow your mind.
The whole album is recommended, highly.
My favorite album of all times.
Agreed...a masterpiece...
This song's called "Suite: Judy BLue Eyes" because a 'suite', musically speaking, is a song composed of separate elements that are thematically linked. So these are the levels you're talking about in the title.
Of course it is also a pun since it is inspired by "sweet" Judy Collins.
@@user-gt2uf8cq9y yes kind of like hip hop and a double meaning with the word play I guess.
You definitely clarified that for me cuz I had no clue. I can agree with the other person that commented when they said it could be word play or a double.. at the end of the day, the song is one of those that will stick in your head. Thanks
Check out Home Free singing Helplessly Hoping- it’s stellar.
Well put. I'd have been less succinct.
This song would be ringing out from every dorm room window. We would all just stop and listen.
Judy Collins was a great singer in her own right.
This Spanish Lyrics translation: How happy it makes me to think of Cuba,
the smiles of the Caribbean Sea,
Sunny sky has no blood, and how sad that
I’m not able to go
Oh go, oh go go
CSN is known for their harmonies. Also there were a few albums where Neil Young joined them. The song "Ohio" is one of the great anti war protest songs. It tells about when the Ohio National Guard killed 4 unarmed student protesters at Kent State University. On May 4th 1970 the students there were protesting the Vietnam War. So many other great CSN songs. Woodstock, Teach Your Children, Love the One You're With, Cathedral, and so many more.
Graham Nash is from Manchester,and was the founding member of The Hollies.
Aah
Crosby Stills and Nash.
The very heart of Woodstock.
Crosby, Stills & Nash songs you must listen to: "Marrakesh Express", "Dark Star", "Southern Cross", "Just a Song Before I Go", "Carry On"
Best CSNY album is "4 Way Street". Live album. Part acoustic and part electric. Addition of Neil Young brings much more rock.
Another point of interest. All three of them (Crosby, Stills and Nash) have been elected into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on two separate occasions. As members of C,S & N. As well as Crosby (Byrds) Nash (Hollies) Stills (Buffalo Springfield) Quite an accomplishment.
'Find The Cost Of Freedom'......is another great one.
You've never heard of them before because you're VERY young. In the 70's, CSN more or less owned radio airwaves. This song has been one of my favorites since I was about ten years old, and that was a half century ago.
Technically, all 3 of them play guitar, and sing. CSN is an amazing group. Check out "Teach your children" :)
Jerry Garcia is playing Steel guitar, on Teach Your Children.
This one gets a HUGE "Thank You", Rogue. I have fun imagining that if Crosby Stills and Nash were to unite and perform with Pentatonix, there would be celestial miracles, and all the divine entities would stop whatever they're doing and come down to listen to the harmonies!!!! 😁👼😅👼
Until one David Crosby says something stupid to said divine entities who in retaliation curse all of mankind.
@@octurn Lmaooooo, that's both true and classic! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 Or offers a saint a fatty then pulls a gun on Kirsten Maldonado 🤣😂🤣😂
Pentatonix are not, artistically, in the same league as CSN, and their recordings sound overly processed. It would have been interesting to see what that would have sounded like though. Alas, that can never happen now.
@cablebrain interesting angle, although I disagree. Pentatonix live seem as effective as in their recorded efforts. I was imply playing "fantasy bands" in my head. ✌️☮️
@@danjoda755 👍
Sometimes I find myself feeling like if you don't get this song you've been living under a rock. But then I realize that when this sog was out, most of these folks weren't born. Come to think of it their parents weren't born either.
Judy Collins had a beautiful voice, and had some nice hits like "Both Sides Now", written by Graham Nash's girlfriend, Joni Mitchell, who you should also react to, singing "Big Yellow Taxi" or "Help Me", "Free Man In Paris" or "Woodstock", which was also a big hit for Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.
What I really like about you as a music reactor, Rogue, is how much you get into the music and go with the flow of it! Analysis is fine, but just watching you enjoy the music is a treat in itself! Keep up the great work with your reactions!!
I agree. It's my first time watching you. The smile on your face told me how much you enjoyed the song.
Don't forget Neil Young is in there too! If you look at the album cover Neil is inside the screen door. Try "Love The One Your With" Next
CS&N was one of the first supergroups. Steven Stills came from Buffalo Springfield, David Crosby came from The Byrds and Graham Nash from The Hollies. Later they invited Neil Young also from Buffalo Springfield to join the group.
SEALS & CROFTS "HUMMINGBIRD"..A BEAUTIFUL MUST HEAR CLASSIC.
Steven Stills lived in South or Central America because of his dads work. He spoke fluent Spanish. His talent on the acoustic guitar was exceptional.
Steven Stills is so thoroughly underated, whether solo or as a third of CSN.
Glad that you loved this. But of course you would.
From the same album -
LADY OF THE ISLAND
From Graham Nash (and about Joni Mitchell).
GUINEVERE
From David Crosby
Peace -
"Carry On" is another great one I would highly recommend reacting to, or just listening to.
Stephen Stills is/was a virtuoso musician. He plays all the instruments on this song - recorded in the studio. CSN actually performed this song live in their early days. Musically it's an extremely difficult song to perform live. The tapping you hear halfway through is Stephen drumming his guitar at the same time he's strumming the strings. He also has a smattering of Spanish and French. He was at one stage married to a French actress and wrote and performed some of his songs in French.
Masters of rock harmony.
When I heard them at their first concert (on their way to Woodstock), this was the song that stood out as extraordinary among all of the other great songs they performed! That discovery is one of my favorite live musical memories!
THis song was about Judy COllins. Lead singer and Guitar was Steven Stills. Steven's guitar is tuned in dropped D tuning, so he can strum with open strings...See the Woodstock video. It was their second gig live in front of 500,000 people.
Their first real Gig together, was at Woodstock in '69. Coming from the bands, the Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, and the Hollies, their harmonies made them Stars!
Momma Cass Elliot introduced them to each other, she did well.
Helplessly hopping is their very best or at least my favorite
Their 2nd time to play in front of a crowd was at Woodstock. They were NERVOUS & said so.
Guinnevere is a must listen. The harmonies on it are amazing.
And written by Crosby
Back in the early 70s they were playing in New York City and they sold out in minutes, I was out in Colorado, and I got a chance to see them at mile high stadium it was a great concert.
And Judy, was his first unlucky love, Stephen Stills, Judy Collins. I loved this song from the very first time, I listened to.
popularity rose after their gig at Woodstock. Each had their style but when combined left us with classics
Nearly every song on the album with SJBlue Eyes is fantastic. Their harmonies! Let alone the muscianship of each one. Binge on them, you won't be sorry! 3 lead singers, everyone totally talented. Then Neil Young joined them yearsalbums later --- one of the greatest groups ever
RogueRxyce at 10:59 -- "I like the play on words, because it's called Suite Judy Blue Eyes, as in like a room…"
Yes, the song’s name is a pun involving “suite" versus “sweet." Judy Collins is well known for her strikingly blue eyes, so “Sweet Judy Blue Eyes” could be an affectionate nickname for her. A “suite" is a group of related things intended to be used together, such as a set of interconnected rooms, a set of matching furniture, or (as with this song) a musical composition consisting of a series of varying movements or pieces.
your smile and pure joy listening warms my heart. :)
Probably the greatest American band ever- overlooked because they're from the 60's.
Deja Vu, Guinivere, Southern Cross, Wooden Ships, Teach Your Children.....the list goes on and on.
They have an enormous catelog of music. Try "Our House" written by Graham Nash for Joni Mitchell when they were a couple.
That “do-do-do-do-do” part at the end was sampled by Cypress Hill in Armada Latina ft. Pit Bull and Marc Anthony. Really cool song.
A live performance of this song will give you a better understanding of this group. They were all guitarists and vocalists, and worked very well together onstage.
Crosby, stills &Nash were known as a singing group their 2nd performance was at Woodstock
Make your smile brighter? Is that even possible? It certainly makes my day brighter...
Suite: Judy blue eyes is definitely one the greatest songs of all time. Not to mention one of my favorites. The person singing the high parts is David Crosby the one on the right end of the couch.
Nash is singing the high parts. He came from "The Hollies." David Crosby came from "The Byrds." Steven Stills came from "Buffalo Springfield." Their first live performance together was at Woodstock.
CSN(Y), a great band with a back catalogue of amazing music well worth exploring. Probably my third favourite ever bands after The Beatles and Pink Floyd!!!😁😁😁🇬🇧
C S & N is a 70s icon that never ages! Try listening to Stephen Stills solo song "Tree Top Flyer". Fabulous!
I grew up with Crosby Stills and Nash,( Young ) their music to me was always folksy hippie longhair relaxing sounds.also loved the quad sound.piece ☮
"Don't Let the Past Remind Us of What We Are Not Now". Love CSN and Y :)
These guys had their ups and downs with drug use, personality clashes and creative differences over the course of their career, but when they wrote music and lyrics together they delivered for sure...and they just jelled and could naturally harmonize insanely well, this song showcases that.
The band formed to play at Woodstock in 1969. Graham nash had been lead singer and rythym guitarist for the band The Hollies. Stephen Stills was lead guitar and lead vocals for the band Buffalo Springfield. David Crosby was rythym and lead guitarist and background vocalist for the band The Byrds. All 3 of those bands were famous with top 10 hits. The band was famous all through the 1970s and continued to play together up through the 1990s, even though the each also had solo careers and Albums.
Stephen Stills ode to his failed relationship with folk legend Judy Collins. Stephen was several years younger but it didn’t matter,Stephen was in love. Eventually it didn’t work and each moved on. They’re still close friends today and have preformed together. There’s a performance on RUclips for everyone’s enjoyment.
CSN& sometimes Y. A lot of talent there as a group and individually and with prior bands. All worth checking out. Graham Nash with the Hollies, Stephen Stills with Buffalo Springfield and David Crosby with the Byrds. Another song to check out is "Our House" by Graham Nash about his relationship with Joni Mitchell.
“ David Crosby or rather Graham Nash sings the high harmony(Graham was in the 1960’s harmony group The Hollies named after Buddy Holly). David Crosby is a very good harmony singer from his days in the L.A. group The Byrds. Steven stills was in the 1960’s group with Neil Young called Buffalo Springfield. So you can see there is a lot of experienced ‘harmony heaven’ going on here.”
Nash has the high part
@@michaelwells4693 “ corrected.”
I actually had that album and that band at that time is called blind faith, but they all went on to have fantastic careers. They started another band, Crosby stills, Nash and Young. Judy is a singer & song writer. I loved her had her albums too. I was a teenager in the mid 1960’s so much great music during those days.
Steven Stills spent a lot of time in South America and Mexico as a young man... That's where the Latin flavour to some of his guitar work, and his fluency in Spanish.
Judy Blue Eyes, was a reference to Steven Stills love at that time, the wonderful singer in her own right, Judy Collins.
Steven Stills is a multifaceted musician and played multiple instruments on the tracks on many songs.
This was the caliber of music we listened to on the radio- can you believe it? Along with all the other great groups. Their harmonies were heavenly. These three each came from legendary harmony based groups- The Byrd’s, Buffalo Springfield and the Hollies. All worth exploring.
Graham Nash played with The Hollies in UK before moving to USA. Stephen Stills played in Buffalo Springfield and David Crosby in The Byrds in the 60's
SOUNDS LIKE THEY TOOK A TRIP WITHOUT LEAVING THE LIVINGROOM ! LOL LOVE
Judy Collins is a towering artist whose folk rock ballads are exquisite and timeless. Listen to her cover of John Lennon's "In My Life" first. Then "Suzanne", "Sunny Goodge Street", "Pirate Jenny", and the "Marat/Sade" suite.
They were huge. Neil Young, huge in his own right, joined the group (CSN&Y). He was actually in the door window on this album cover.
The Song of my youth, my favorite, and even today still my favorite band of all time
Thank you, it's been 50 yrs. since I've heard that song, and I had the album back then. I grew up and went to high school in Ca. as a big fan of Crosby, Stills, and, Nash..
And they sound like this live. They perform barefoot on a beautiful rug.
Check out the group Foxes and Fossils covering this song several years ago. Great harmonies.
If you can catch the live version of this song at Woodstock, you’ll be watching the first time they performed this song in public, it’s well worth watching history being made.
Lol, ".....scared sh*tless!"
I saw them inCleveland about a month after Woodstock. They opened with Suite and the lead/opener to the concert was James Taylor. Great night.
@@tomfriedman5494 lucky man!
The version from the 80's reunion isn't bad either!
Nope Carry On from 4 way street or Southern Man live way better
can you feel it ? do you see the light ? can you feel the sunrise ?
Another CS&N MUST!... "Southern Cross"
You have no idea what it was like when the album came out. There was nothing like it before, and there is no one who compares.
CSN were known for their beautiful harmonies and lyrics. Try Teach Your Children next.
I love this song and am re-living my youth!!!so good we were so young!!!
Don’t forget Wooden Ships and Carry On!!!
I saw the Southern Cross tour at the Man Music Center in Philly.
The crowd sang the whole concert with the band.
Especially this song.
One of the 5 greatest bands of all time. That's Graham Nash singing lead in the beginning. Then at times Stephen Stills sings lead. CSN (and later, CSNY when they added Neil Young) was one of the earliest "supergroups," as each band member came over from a very successful group. Graham Nash had been with the Hollies, Stephen Stills (and later, Neil Young) were with Buffalo Springfield, and David Crosby came over from the Byrds. These were all HUGELY popular and influential rock groups in the '60s. Check 'em out here: The Byrds -- "Mr. Tambourine Man," "Turn, Turn, Turn." The Hollies -- "Bus Stop," "Look Through Any Window," "On A Carousel." And Buffalo Springfield -- "For What It's Worth," "Mr. Soul." And then as for Neil Young, he's probably better known for his solo work, including "Old Man" and "Cinnamon Girl."
Some of Crosby Stills and Nash (and Crosby Stills Nash and Young) songs are iconic, including "Woodstock," written after the Woodstock festival in '69. But some of the most gorgeous songs I've ever heard in my life came from their first album (you see the cover art on your video here). Check out "Lady Of the Island." Other good ones are "Helplessly Hoping," "Wooden Ships," and "Marrakesh Express." Then once Neil Young joined the group, their next album, De Ja Vu, had a number of other classics, including one of my favorites, "Almost Cut My Hair." Their song "Ohio" was rushed to market in the days following the tragic shooting of students at Kent State University and is an anthem for my generation.
By the way, the woman about whom this song was written -- Judy Collins -- was a fine artist in her own right. Check out her biggest hit single "Both Sides Now." It was a huge hit in 1969. She also had a hit with the Stephen Sondheim song "Send in the Clowns." Although frankly, if you're going to listen to that song, the definitive version of it was by Frank Sinatra.
Another gem you just dicovered from the one and only "Crosby Still Nash and Young". Among my favorites from these group is also "Teach your children well."
Welcome to the CSN rabbit hole! Pull up a chair, they have so many true classic songs!!
The music i grew up with in the 60's and 70's. YEAH!
I love how you are so open to music
They were all great songwriters and musicians. Who had written the song usually took the lead solo.
