    Considering all the turmoil going on between band members, it’s pretty amazing CSNY were able to launch two quality albums, and only one of them a studio release. No wonder Deja Vu became such a legendary piece. I think it’s impressive when a group can set aside their differences to put out timeless, memorable music.

      "Impressive" to "set aside their differences"? Isn't that something every group has to do to be successful? And every marriage partner? Every set of friends? That's the norm. Doing what you are supposed to do anyway is not my definition of impressive.
      And wow, they released two entire albums? And one of them studio? Not my idea of "pretty amazing".

    • @coochiecoo68
      @coochiecoo68 6 месяцев назад

      I concur, and they set the genre and got out there and did it with no handbook, no support, with no real idea of consequences or much technical expertise, at a time when there was zilch in terms of recovery from narcotic addiction and alcoholism and at a dnagerous time of social unrest, when the drugs were 100% pure, the judgement around the perosnal clashes of the band members are neither here nor there, plenty of other bands and musicians were like it around the same time, and punk made a point of it later on in the 70s.

    Neil certainly added something special to CSNY. I have a vivid, lifelong memory of a particular Neil song that was included in the sound track of the movie, "The Strawberry Statement", which was about the student protests at Columbia University. I think it was back in '71.
    Somewhere In the movie, after some scenes of action and conflict, the visual goes to a night scene of the sky, with Neil's voice lamenting: "Big birds flying across the sky, throwing shadows on our eyes, leave us helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless." Neil certainly was not helpless, but he surely helped us, at that cinematic moment, to express our frustration in trying to end the war in Vietnam.

    I was around 12 or 13 in around 1974. I was an only child but my friends all had older siblings. When my babysitter, Jeannie, brought over the 45 Hello Goodbye/I am the Walrus by the Beatles, I was mesmerized. This was 1968 and I was 7. After that exposure, I was on a quest to find more of that kind of music. A friend’s brother had CSN’s debut album released in ‘69. We listened to it over and over and I decided that they were the coolest band ever, Deja Vu was even better. Their story is one of great highs and lows. Regardless of their personal struggles and creative differences, they were special, very special. They influenced me in a good way. Thanks for the great doc. ✌🏻

    Neil young refused to sign the release for the footage for Woodstock the movie as did many others. He wasn’t cut out they couldn’t use his footage till years later. Before he joined CSN had met w Nash and won Nash over.

      That was a new one to me, although long ago I read that at least one guy in the Springfield, bass player Bruce Palmer, would refer to Stills as "Sarge" because Stills always tried to run the show. And I do think Stills was a military kid.

    About the "backwards seating order" in the photograph for their first album cover, why couldn't they take the negative (or even the positive) and reverse that? Was that too much technology for the late 60s? Too much money? Hell, hire an artist and have it painted in reverse! I guess they probably didn't realize the seating order was going to be a problem until AFTER it had become a problem. I think I was told it was the correct order, and so for many years I thought Crosby was Nash and vice-versa. Crosby always looked like a person named "Graham" to me, with his Cowardly Lion looks. Agree? (If not, "Put up your dukes! I'll fight ya!")
