I am 75 years old. I have lived a wonderful life! This kind of music added so much. I am really happy now. I have an opportunity to cry a little each day. This was a really nice opportunity.
Oh my.... the quality of musical energy that flows through and out of Paul Simon is just incredible. He is the best singer-songwriter in human history. I'm pleased to be alive during his life because we will never see another singer-songwriter like Paul ever again. An extremely rare person and this is as good as music gets.
@Greg Normal I don't think i can choose a favourite of Simon.I love so many types of music.who else do you like?hope you get this message.have a good day Greg.
Paul Simon is so good in singing in a way like he's speaking. Every word is carefully articulated and laid down on the rhythm of the guitar. Beautiful!
Once upon a time, we were honored and graced with music and musicians like this on a regular basis. And now…there seems to be a constant “hard rain” falling on us culturally, politically, economically and every in every other way.
Well said. The "hard rain" was falling back then too, but our artist singers and songwriters were true and brave troubadours of truth and beauty which helped to ease our pain. Not so today.
You‘re right, but there is still hope! For example the artists of „playing for change“, they are playing from around the world and are mixed together to great songs of love and peace and against poverty
@@deb-0956Not for me they weren’t.

She lives in the house I bought, worth £480,000, with my two children, who, 2 years ago stole my pension,after their grandad gave them £10,000 each.

I’m homeless and live in a van, I’m not entitled to benefit or housing. And you know what? I have more than the people I have met in my life… so no. I don’t remember the good old days. There never have been any.
Hope you are hanging in there. Your post was two years ago. About the time I got my diagnosis. So far so good. We’ll see. Next exam in three weeks. Still listening/watching a lot of music.
Their vocal blend is extraordinary! Doubly so because they're all around 65. These guys are all just amazing. And of course George's song ain't too shabby either.
I totally relate to what you’re saying. When I was about six or seven I was in the hospital for surgery, a pretty scary time for such a young boy. In my room an older kid had a radio and several times a day “Here Comes the Sun” came on. It’s always been a special song to me and now, fifty years later, I still remember that song as my shining light.
I remember reading Crosby's "If I could only remember my name" and it being mentioned that CSN got together with Simon and Garfunkel back in the day. Crosby, Stills, Nash, Simon & Garfunkel. Just imagine the harmonies there. Thought of that as I watched this.
An adequate rendering, but done a bit too slowly. Nash and Crosby sound like they each swallowed a handful of goofballs backstage; Simon sounds like he's struggling to stay awake. On the other hand, Richie Havens' version of "Here Comes the Sun" is astonishing - like José Feliciano's version of "Light My Fire." You can never get tired of them.
Habe Paul Simon vor sehr langer Zeit einmal auf der Loreley mit einer afrikanischen Band gesehen und gehört. Das war ein absolutes Spitzenkonzert. Er gehört zu den ganz grossen in diesem Gewerbe. Ich liebe ihn sehr und werde ihn auch nie vergessen. Danke Paul.❤❤❤
@@mariellereilly361 thanks for your understanding. George was a wonderful guy with wonderful music and thinking about his wife and Eric Clapton. Just amazing that they still were friends.
You’ve probably heard this story - George Harrison stopped over at Eric Clapton’s house when they hadn’t seen each other for a while. Spring was just starting to come around after a long, dark winter in England. George borrowed a guitar, sat down, and wrote this song. Sometimes magic happens.
Yeah - it was in the middle of all the Beatle bitching about breaking up and who was going to manage their finances and Apple Corp losing money etc etc. And George said he sat on the grass and the sun was struggling to come though the forest and then a spear of sunlight suddenly came across him as he sat their playing the guitar. And voila!
@@marygonzales8986 Clapton was obsessed with Patti. But I think Something and Here Comes the Sun were a little bit before the affair. You might be right.
It is Tony Cedras, a very talented musician from South Africa. He was in the Paul Simon's band from 1987 to 2012, playing accordion, keyboards, trumpet, guitar and doing back voices. Alas, Tony died this year.
You guys really know how to get a crowd going. It's absolutely breathtaking. And those Stephen Stills backup singers--you would have had to of been there. Paul Simon, as usual, just stunning.
I am 75 years old. I have lived a wonderful life! This kind of music added so much. I am really happy now. I have an opportunity to cry a little each day. This was a really nice opportunity.
Awe! God Bless! Feel that emotion.
Lovely thoughts. Thank you Billma
I hope you’re still around to enjoy the music that I’ve always made you happy and you make me happy
❤❤❤
Thank you for this.
I am from the UK my 10 year old granddaughter told me today that now Spring is here they sing this song every morning at school…how beautiful is that.
My English teacher used to sing us Yesterday. We learned every word, and I hated it. But now I think it was so beautiful. Maybe she was cool afterall
😄
🖖
@@aszox Good insight.
Beautiful. Back to the 60s and away from the ugliness of today. That's where we need to be

I wish more people could carry music like this in their heart than hate.
Agreed, but much has changed in America. Alot of deception going on.
You're so right with that
Amen, brother!
So true...
Sometime wishes come true! So never stop wishing!

What sweet voices, what sweet tribute to our beloved George.
This Paul Simon kid has some chops. He'll be great some day! and those backup singers aren't too bad either!
🤣
maybe those guys should get together, form an act or something, ...
'if there's a Rock'n'roll heaven...'
😅💞🌟
George and now David are smiling down from above! What gorgeous melody and harmonies! Such a wonderful tune! Bravo!
Humbug bah
no they're not...they're dead
I’m not sure about George, but definitely not Croz. An avowed non believer to his incredibly bitter end.
Such beautiful harmony. They haven't lost their voices.
All I have to do is close my eyes and so many memories come flooding back…
No no they haven't
There's a lot of pitch control going on.
I love Crosby and Nash’s harmonys they are perfection.
They nailed it!
He couldn't have invited better backing singers.
I was going to say - I didn't know their harmonies were going to be that good.
Thanks David and Graham
Well, there's a lot of digital pitch control going on.
Graham Nash will enjoy every song he sings , whether he's backing or lead, Awesome musician and human being..
Paul Simons voice just get better and better

Not only that, but he always articulated his words. Some if not many 'singers' today, and I do use the word loosely, hardly enunciate at all.

It really does.
Things were so much better then.

Artists like these legends are still around. Just not as popular as the flavors of the day.

GEORGE GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.
To my mind he has been the best of the Fab Four ! RIP
I too get tears in my eyes from the pure joy of beautiful music played by monstrously talented people. What has greed and meanness done to us?
The voices of Angels on earth I'm so grateful and humble to have grown up in the seventies. Thank you world.
I love your comments! 😊😊 I'm a 70's kid too. 😊
Me. too my friends. Blessings and happiness to you all from Buenos Aires ❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you, thank you, thank you...my heart sings along in harmony
Pure joy! When we exist in these dark days of discontent and lunacy, this brings tears to my eyes. Thank you all.
well said Sue
And thank you for these beautiful words!
Oh, it doesn't get much prettier than that, does it? Beautiful version of a beautiful song!

Paul Simon is a magnificent guitar player
Yes

What a beautiful Beatle song. And they sing so beautifullly!
Takes you back in time.
Those were the days.
doesn't get better folks. miss you so hard already david crosby
Beautiful version! The original gave me as 16 year old, coming out of depressing time, a personal message, which I have loved to this day!

Nothing sounds more beautiful than these guitar lines it touches my soul.paul Simon's guitar style is unique..Just love it....its moving in waves
BEAUTIFUL, the harmonies, the tempo, the song and Paul Simon's singing. ❤
No words, God thank you, what a privilege to live during this times,
George wrote it and these three nailed it. Great harmonies and a stage full of talent.
Can't imagine people NOT getting goosebumps and tearing up
What a beautiful tribute. Vocals aint bad either. RIP George.
Stunningly beautiful performance. Perfection.
An angelic cover! Can't stop listening to it!
How effortlessly Crosby and Nash joining in on harmony, and Simon can't help but smile.
Music is a memory maker and time machine. Beautiful yet deadly.
Paul Simon, guitarrista maravilhoso!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
¡Si!
Crosby Simon and Nash! Another form of CSN. Such talent!
wow, their voices sound great together.
Awww just beautiful ! Thanks George for such a timeless song!
Very moving version of great artists paying tribute to a fellow icon on this beautiful rendition of a beautiful song.
Beautiful. I love to hear easy, smooth effortless harmony. Used to sing like this wth my late siblings.
Beautiful version, never heard it before today. Lots of beautiful memories!!
That was so lovely, they really honored the song beautifully
Beautiful. Ageless musical wonders.
Graham Nash truly enjoys singing.
Un trio formidabile per un brano semplicente magnifico. Anche George apprezzerebbe molto. Un ricordo a chi ci ha lasciato.
A special song my husband who died 8 years ago always sang this song to me.
Sorry to hear...a great song moves the heart with so many meanings.
still rocking it, good for you.
Wow, what a great sound. Harmony spot on. George is smiling!
RIP David Crosby and all the songrwiting greats we’ve lost.
The accordion was a touch of genius
God bless you to make our lives more happy!!❤❤
Now We hear the greatest do their thing so damn well we are truly blessed now. Sun Sun here we come
What a song an no better boyz to sing it. God bless u George.

so wonderful!! I am sure this version has made the soul of George happy!
It made me heart flutter!
@@gabrielasanchez-cg1jr w deer wa a wa sa z s
This is so great so in harmony we should have more of these, Eric Clapton, Paul and all the other great musicians.
Actually, George Harrison said he wrote "Here Comes the Sun" while he was visiting Eric Clapton, siting in his garden strumming a guitar.
@@mccajo1 I wonder why P. Simon didn't mention the "dear friend of mine" by name?
Una de las canciones más bonitas de todos los tiempos. Gracias George por esta increíble letra y música.
I listen to him every day! He has the most beautiful voice and range
The story of how this song was birthed was incredible. These three did a marvelous job on George's song. He would be smiling if he were still alive.
he IS smiling!
Looking from heaven. Lg from Germany Ellen ✌ ❤
Where did the years go...but amazing to be taken straight back to yesterday...great.

A great rendition of what I've always thought was George's best song.
These old white Men, best Music ever.
A piece of art!!!❤
Very nice!I love their harmonies!
Pure bliss ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I love the French accordion in this song makes it so light.
I also love the Crosby and Nash harmonies. Paul Simon is also very good on lead vocals.
