Thanks to guys like Earle Bailey, you hear quite a bit of Manassas on Sirius/XM's Deep Tracks.... Dude always plays great stuff, since his days on WMMR in Philly. 🚬😎👍
Walking home from 3rd grade after school I found the Neil Young Harvest album in someones curb trash pickup . Went home an told my mom what I found . Mom was completely blind but told me to put it on the console stereo turntable . The record was badly scratched but we didnt care , we played it over an over . Christmas that year santa left me that album under the tree , thanks santa lol . That was 50 yrs. ago . Great memory , thanks mom . RIP
Harvest was also my entry in to their world. My older brother had bought the album. He would rarely let me touch his stuff, so I would ask him play it...😅
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".
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.
@@kvernon1 I read a quote from Graham Nash calling CSN [and maybe CSNY] failures. Because they couldn't get along well enough to make more than a few good recordings. I don't remember if he attributed this to ego and substance abuse :^) He seems to have been a very patient person.
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.
Great film, please do the follow up. Complicated man is Neil Young. I saw him at Hammersmith, it was epic, he played an hour of solo acoustic, then two hours of electric with the band, an incredible night.
wait a second, you said Neil is a nightmare of a human being, what about all the benefit concerts Neil did for disabled children, farmers, environmental issues, humanitarian issues, etc..........making millions of $$$$$$$$ for these organizations.
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. ✌🏻
Odd I always thought that "tonight's the night" is one of his best efforts. I really like Neil Young's music and have many of his recordings "Tonight's the night" is probably my favorite.
Oh, man same here! My wife and I have used it many times on a couple of different cats we've had. They don't mean to be annoying, destructive, whatever...they just can't help themselves.
I love that line from "Tired Eyes", hysterical! Neil certainly is a one off original. My favorite artist of all time, but it's quite obvious that he was not "easy" to work with!
I was at that Boston show. Neil was also pissed at some bubblehead screaming, ‘Neil.., your bogus!’ Neil responded, Someone slap that guy before I do!” This huge guy told the bubblehead, Knock it off. Then Neil rocked the night. Saw him so many times with great stories and memories. Love sent
I understand why, but I'm usually disappointed when music documentaries don't feature the music of the artists they profile due to copyright, but I didn't miss it at all with this one. Well told and engaging. Keep it up!
I was fortunate enough to see Neil Young and Crazy Horse in the late 70’s. First half of the show was Neil playing acoustic, Crazy Horse with Neil playing electric guitar the second half. Huge blow up amps, cone heads, hooded monks with red eyes…it was a great show.
Yes Buffalo Springfield had a lot of drama but they were so much more than that. Their albums are now recognized as classics and they did include tiimeless singles that everybody has heard including For What It's Worth, Mr Soul and Bluebird.
Stills' historic "Something happening here. . ." is recalled in page 248 of my novel, King of Soul, recalling events at Kent State U, May 1970, a classic moment of American tragedy.
Yes, I understand that. But I believe Stephen Stills himself will attest that the message in his song about protest had become an anthem for our generation, especially after their "Ohio" song. "Four dead in Ohio"@@JJS1953JJS
That's definitely what Graham Nash believed, at least when the idea was pitched to him that Neil should join. He talks about how against the idea he was, in his autobiography.
My college girlfriend and I were walking on that beach when they were taking photos of Neil facing the water. My girlfriend walked up to him and asked if he lost something. I was shocked at her balls. I had been around Neil before, but this was pretty weird as nothing moved for hours.
I dunno. Neil might have balked upon listening to how horrendously out-of-tune was the guitar that Stephen was forced to play-seconds before they went on.
Saw Neil and Crazy Horse at The Rosemount Horizon outside Chicago over 30 years ago with my wife. Opening show for the Weld Tour. Sonic youth opened and blew everyone's ears out.
I've read some old interviews where Crosby used to refer to it as the "extreme psychodramas" that he'd have with the Byrds and CSN&Y. For some reason, extreme psychodramas seemed to follow him wherever he went.
I thought the same thing, and it's so obvious I'm sure it was suggested. I could see Stills saying, "man, I don't want people to think I play left-handed" :)
Stills’ performance of “4x20” on Dick Cavett is mesmerizing. Whenever I watch it I always look at Joni Mitchell. She’s so into it, it’s like she’s in a trance.
I saw CSN&Y in houston. Nash said Neil missed the fisrt couple of numbers. Because he was throwing a tantrum . He said it to the audience in attendance.
I was in a thrift store in Los Angeles around 2015 and found "4 Way Street" on wax for a few dollars and bought it only because Neil was on it. His originals on there are so tasty. Plus Im from Ohio. So you cant ignore the live version of "Ohio" on that record.
You don't hear THAT very often, but tbh I really liked it too. The inclusion of The Beach Boys Let's Go Away For A While was perfect. Handel's Messiah not so much.
@@derhandtrommler yea true you have a point, but they all inspired many sounds such as the eagles; the eagles stole their bassist twice haha. It doesn’t matter where you are from, you can still inspire a sound in a certain dynamic. All artists eventually move to LA and try to make it big there, then a sound get constructed as “the California sound” even if they aren’t from there
Fascinating. And so not like I always imagined the lives of rock stars to be like. IMHO, the spectrum between Stills control and calculation and Young's spontaneity is exactly the realm in which magic is created. One without the other can be quite excellent. But not magic.
What! George Harrison didn't care for Neil Young's music? I find it very hard to believe I know I read somewhere John Lennon didn't care for Neil Young's music and that I do believe well whether or not George Harrison cared for Neil Young's music or not George Harrison is still my favorite Beatle I love Crosby stills Nash & Young and I like the solo careers been listening to them since I was a small child now my children listen to them especially Neil Young this is 2024 and there's so much more. Unfortunately David Crosby is no longer with us😢 Stephen stills Graham Nash and Neil Young please Keep on rockin in the Free world by the way Neil Young has a new album out❤❤❤ and I'm not sure what the other two are up to😮 this was a very good interview yeah it's so hard to believe that George Harrison did not care for Neil Young's music 🎶❤️🙏❤️🌍✌️💯
He said Neil made a lot of 'noise' and it wasn't what he personally enjoyed listening to...George was listening to Ravi Shankar and searching for Higher Consciousness...i think Neil's anger in a number of songs turned off George.
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.
So much is left out : Bluebird , Roger McGuinn's contribution to the style and substance Crosby brought to the group ..... So much important detail left out of what was undeniably a masked soap opera
While this was a good video and it's obvious that a lot of work went into it, there's many mistakes on these quotes. Please proof them before posting. It'll probably save you a lot of comment corrections. Other than them, nicely done.
Wow! Excellent documentary. A toxix relationship. They needed relationship counseling before it became popular. Their music may have flourished if they had.
George Harrison probably didn’t sign CSN because Graham Nash was in the Hollies and George hated the Hollies version of “If I Needed Someone,” which George wrote.
The worst part of that massacre is the fact that the four dead students weren'r even part of the protests that day. Four kids walking to their next classes. Was anything done to the National Guard MURDERERS who killed them?
I had the Buffalo Springfield albums (in high school). I thought they were a major band (like The Doors). I also thought the "Neil Young" album was awesome. I understand that talented people are not satisfied with anything less than perfection.
Neil is a pretty screwed up dude when it comes to politics and life but he wrote some incredible songs, Old Man, Harvest Moon, A Man Needs A Maid, Comes a Time, I could go on and on. Yeah as I think about it now, he really wrote some of the best music ever.
@@1985cactus CSNY and Joni Mitchell removed their music from Spotify because they SUPPORTED the Covid injections. Now we see they were wrong about the pandemic created by Anthony Fauci.
In the late 90's a friend asked me to source good marijuana for CSN's first tour to South Africa. We got free tickets to their Johannesburg concert, which was fantastic, except Stephen Stills appeared onstage with a broken nose, having slipped in the bath. I don't know how responsible I was for this ;)
Stills is phenomenal writing and playing guitar. Only artist to get Jim Hendricks and Eric Clapton on the same album with him. Harvest was the only piece of work listening to.
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!")
Correction..Neil Young was not "cut out" of Woodstock. He specifically told the producers of Woodstock..you can film CSN but not Y..do not film my image..your making a lot of money off this Woodstock thing..and your not paying any of the bands you film. So leave me out.
Super creative artists are impossible to get along with. And their creations are like their own kids. And say what you want, narcissistic behavior is also prevalent. Good talent, drugs and a really good producer can solve a lot.
Im starting to think that maybe art is a portal to the ego. The more creative and prominemt you are, the more prone personality disorders you are. If there ever is a somewhat normal grounded artist theyre often unnoticed or non existent.
This documentry should've been longer. It was well told and held my interest.

One of my all time favorites.

Art is fascinating. Appealing to one and torture to another, all from a single work. Thus comparison is pointless, it’s all subjective.

neil young is a fool , I stand by this comment
you are a fool for making a foolish comment. I stand by this comment.
@@artvallejos1460 foolish comment
Neil Young really didn’t need these guys….it was better that he went his own way.
He even had the Beatles haircut and imitated them in Buffalo Springfield
The worst part of that massacre is the fact that the four dead students weren'r even part of the protests that day. Four kids walking to their next classes. Was anything done to the National Guard MURDERERS who killed them?
The audience is still asleep ! This is how many years latter ?
These dudes, are some of the most pampered, primadonnas ever…
I had the Buffalo Springfield albums (in high school). I thought they were a major band (like The Doors). I also thought the "Neil Young" album was awesome. I understand that talented people are not satisfied with anything less than perfection.
Neil is a pretty screwed up dude when it comes to politics and life but he wrote some incredible songs, Old Man, Harvest Moon, A Man Needs A Maid, Comes a Time, I could go on and on. Yeah as I think about it now, he really wrote some of the best music ever.
What exactly about his politics is screwed up?
@@1985cactusNot a damn thing.
@@1985cactus CSNY and Joni Mitchell removed their music from Spotify because they SUPPORTED the Covid injections. Now we see they were wrong about the pandemic created by Anthony Fauci.
@@1985cactuscovid for one. Im sure alot of other things
@@choossuck7653 COVID what?
Nice to see Big Sur movie interlaced.
In the late 90's a friend asked me to source good marijuana for CSN's first tour to South Africa. We got free tickets to their Johannesburg concert, which was fantastic, except Stephen Stills appeared onstage with a broken nose, having slipped in the bath. I don't know how responsible I was for this ;)
Stills is phenomenal writing and playing guitar. Only artist to get Jim Hendricks and Eric Clapton on the same album with him. Harvest was the only piece of work listening to.
3 unreleased recordings of crosby stills and nash fighting in the dressing room of the Fillmore East
I guess when you get 4 people with 1/4 talent , who couldn’t cut it on their own…it works.
Neil Young argued ! Never !
Not a CSNY fan ; but this had several good , hearty laffs .
Thanks ...
That looped background music is unbearable for an otherwise well done video. Giving up at 23 minutes in.
It sounds like a scratched Doors LP
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!")
Because flipping the image would then make it look like Stills was a left-handed guitar player. No way would he or the others allow that.
Correction..Neil Young was not "cut out" of Woodstock. He specifically told the producers of Woodstock..you can film CSN but not Y..do not film my image..your making a lot of money off this Woodstock thing..and your not paying any of the bands you film. So leave me out.
Super creative artists are impossible to get along with. And their creations are like their own kids. And say what you want, narcissistic behavior is also prevalent. Good talent, drugs and a really good producer can solve a lot.
Im starting to think that maybe art is a portal to the ego.
The more creative and prominemt you are, the more prone personality disorders you are.
If there ever is a somewhat normal grounded artist theyre often unnoticed or non existent.
@@neonfroot We call it 'Creative Compulsion Disorder' today.
amazing how egos clash
Feels like this was done with A.I. Someone else has that feeling?
You’re totally wrong. Thats all my voice 👌
Didn't mean this as an insult by the way, and I learn many things@@filmretrospective5334 . But I don't know why I have this feeling.
If this is the sound of conflicting personalities... long may you disagree!
