Apr 2019 I grew up listening to MTV Unplugged. I am not taking anything away from MTV Unplugged. BUT NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert is better. More natural; more sublime. Peace, love and RNR!
Am 28 and I thought I have wasted a lot of time..but this legend proves me that Age is just a number, this man inspires me to take out my guitar and write the songs I always wanted to. Thank you Graham Nash.
SHANE FONTAYNE I still have a crush on you. Fabulous accompanist here and on so so many Kennedy Center Awards Guitarist on that Stage. XO Thank You, Graham Nash for everything ... and to NPR Tiny Desk Concerts (all) .
One of the things I love about watching great musicians are the gorgeous instruments they play. Especially acoustic guitars. Crosby, Nash, Richard Thompson, the fine guitars they play make me happy.
Bus Stop takes me back to being in Junior High in Kansas City, MO in the late sixties and very early seventies.Sleeping in a pup tent in the backyard under a huge black walnut tree. I had a little transistor radio I got from Sunday School attendance, and in the dark of night I could pull in radio stations from New Orleans, Chicago, San Antonio. Hearing these sixties tunes and fifties doo wap and such.
Graham Nash is one of the best musicians alive and one of the best ever. I love his Album "This Path Tonight" so much especially the beautiful Song "Myself at Last".
I find that I can only take this wonderful broadcast in short takes, there is so much feeling and pure musicianship there, Thank you, Graham from the Hollies to CSN&Y to your solo path to the moon!
Sittin' here, stupid grin, just loving this. Just freaking amazing. I wanna be Graham when I grow up. What a man, voice, activist, humanist, singer......holy shit.
I realize this is 5 years old but it is new to me. I'm a life long musician and more recent also a song writer. I was blown away by Myself At Last. Wow! Beautiful chord changes and great meaningful lyrics. More people need to hear it.
I'm so excited to have found this tiny desk. l discovered Grahan Nash thanks to The Head and the Heart's cover "our house" and now l cannot stop hearing them❤️love from Peru
My favourite from CSNY. I'm only 34 years old, but grew up to my dad spinning songs for beginners on repeat. So pleased to have been able to see graham nash with my dad this summer in Utrecht in the wonderful Tivoli. What a beautiful gig - as a guitarist, it's a great pleasure to have the added bonus of shane fontayne on six strings, what a great player
my father is the spitting image of Graham Nash in the younger days - everything even the hair couldn't be more proud .. Graham Nash has still got it the talent the voice and everything..
Saw those two perform live at "Burg Herzberg" Festival this year. It was the last day and after 4 incredibly hot days the rain started falling in the middle of their performance. It had something very pure to it. Amazing crowd, amazing musicians.
'oly cow! His voice at 74 is still amazing, this explains why I got hooked on CSNY music since the very firest time that I heard them...and he was much younger!
It’s been raining in the North of England for a while so we get called a rainy city here in Manchester.Bus stops and umbrellas are useful connections if sharing is your thing. The Hollies we part of our thing in the 60/70’s….so imagine a surprise to find a transforming Graham Nash appear in a close harmony group along with two Americans .Hooked interest immediately and part of my thing since then.Thank you ,grateful.
Been listening to Graham for over 50 years and it is still like day 1, I am always grateful to him for solving my perplexing problems,and doing it with some of the best music at that. I will be Graham's brother forever,we do speak the very language of the heavens. Thank you bro for all you have done for the world and me
Graham Nash what a legend. I'd also like to show some respect to Shane Fontayne, he's toured with so many legendary artists such as Graham and Bruce Springsteen and being the guitarist for The Kennedy Center Honors and he's also a great singer and songwriter himself!!
Been a Nash fan since I first heard The Hollies way back in mid-60s. followed his career through CSN and beyond. What a treat then to come across this Tiny Desk Concert with Graham, an acoustic guitar and a second guitar and voice. Very nice. When I heard the first strains of Bus Stop I was hooked for the duration of the video. Loved it all... Glen Parker Avondale, N.S.,Canada
That second guitar is Shane Fontayne, who slayed it when he played the incredible solo in Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors. It's on you tube, and it's unforgettable. 🎶💙🎶
This version of Bus Stop is by far the best I have heard, by far. including the original. There's just something about the Crosby and Nash style vocals (dare I say it) that gives it a rawness.
This is a song I loved and actually believed in love forever, until I found out it isn't. Great sound, think I was about 12 when this song came out. Nash is a wonderful singer.. memories, thank you.
Wonderful to hear these two great musicians....Graham Nash is still hitting the notes with a voice that has been so clear, pristine, natural and a Gift to humanity....Cool! Thank you.
With or without the Hollies or CSN, what an incredible performer. Amazing what two talented singer/guitarist can do all by themselves. Thank you Graham.
I feel blessed to have these people singing on my radio during my teens. Because of them I became a musician in my free time and had to learn to speak English in order to understand and sing the songs they sang.
+Rich B Because producers today think that's the way it has to be done. That's what they were told and they have the technology and by golly they're gonna use it.
Rich B Well, studios and multitracks are good. the trick is to put these guys in a studio with the multitracks rolling away, and have them play live right there. maybe throw some backing vocals in later? bass? keys? you get the point. But what really kills the music is stuff like autotune, cut and paste, dynamic range compression (an important tool, but much overused, especially on masters). I feel like this is how you make the best, most pure music. a mix of good gear and Recording techniques, and excellent musicians. forget technology.
kyle saloka I disagree.. sure you might as well do it properly if your multitracking. I would love to hear more musicians being captured live.. if you need a harmony, get another vocalist in etc.
@@jimmy5634 Put a chunk of the blame on Phil Spector. He started doing all that layering and "sound on sound" noise in the early sixties. It may have worked ok on some of the girl group records, but muddied lots of other music badly. Imltho.
Very nice! We caught these two at Penn's Peak in Jim Thorpe PA a few months ago. One of the BEST shows I've ever seen. We had the chance to chat with them right afterwards and that made a great night even better. Shayne copped ALL the right parts, on both guitar and vocals. An absolute brilliant sideman and WAY humble.
Love the Tiny Desk Concerts. Nash still sounds great. On Bus Stop, would have been nice to give a shout out to the original songwriter - Graham Gouldman, of 10cc fame.
The British are coming, the British are coming - and are most welcomed this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brought us back our Blues and took R&R to the next level!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This speaks directly into my heart, especially Myself At Last. Thank you Graham Nash for your lifelong commitment to the spirit, the sound, the voice and the truth.
From the first moment when I heard the Crosby Stills & Nash album, to the time I got to see you in concert in 1991, to this video...thank you for your music.
A legend can play a new song between 50 year old classics and not miss a beat. Awesome
Graham is truly a gift for us, thank you very much
It is so refreshing to hear an artist perform a 50 year old hit like it was a new release. Thank you Graham.
Fabulous songs, both new and old!

"Myself at Last" had me weeping tears of beautiful anguish. Masterful music from these two musicians. Wonderful.

I love The Hollies! Despite the changes in the line up. Their music is timeless. I’m here in March 2020 . This is priceless 🎉🎶xx
I'm so excited to have found this tiny desk. l discovered Grahan Nash thanks to The Head and the Heart's cover "our house" and now l cannot stop hearing them❤️love from Peru
I sure am glad I stumbled upon this tonight, good stuff.
What i like about tiny desk is that brings artists down to earth between us and their music familiarise better. Very clever idea whoever create it.
Just the artists, their music, and our eyes and ears. 💙🎶☺
I just heard Graham Nash in concert this past weekend. It was excellent. 50 years on and he still is making beautiful music. We are very fortunate.
This ray of sunshine is JUST what I needed in this time of social distancing. Thank you Graham!

Bus Stop, 50 years old. Still sounds as fresh as when I first heard it.
Written by Graham Gouldman of 10CC and Wax fame. With his dad. When he was still a teenager.
But while you're waiting at the bus stop, don't stand so close to me. It's a great song, tho.
Bus Stop written by Graham Gouldman. Such a great song.
my father is the spitting image of Graham Nash in the younger days - everything even the hair couldn't be more proud .. Graham Nash has still got it the talent the voice and everything..

Graham and Shane sound so good together. Mr Nash is in fine voice, sounds as good as he always did
'oly cow! His voice at 74 is still amazing, this explains why I got hooked on CSNY music since the very firest time that I heard them...and he was much younger!
Absolutely! I saw him do a solo gig in late '15 and he covered it ALL perfectly.
Loose myself at last chokes me up
Graham Nash the wordsmith
Thanks

What a great song writer. Beautiful. Thoughtful. Intimate. Fresh. Artful. Surprising. Thanks for giving us more. Keep going!
Fabulous songwriter. Been following for over 40 years. The soundtracks of my life.
Thanks for the music!
This takes me right back to my youth. my oh my. We were young and in love with life itself. Thank you for the memories. XXXX
Affecting music from a legend. Graham Nash, thank you.
...rolling down this lonesome road, to find myself at last...
I found myself at last :-)
Beautiful happy song.
Two chaps, two guitars and stories told in song. Simple genius and centuries old. Priceless
Great songwriters are continually inspired ... and continue to inspire us as songwriters.
I'm here in 2019 too. I'm wearing an identical flannel shirt as Graham. That last song is a winner. I wish CSN would get together one more time.
Graham Nash what a legend. I'd also like to show some respect to Shane Fontayne, he's toured with so many legendary artists such as Graham and Bruce Springsteen and being the guitarist for The Kennedy Center Honors and he's also a great singer and songwriter himself!!
Thank you so much for your love and support. The su of wonderful fan like you keep me going and strong
Also Lone Justice! Shane did beautiful, haunting, powerful work with that awesome band!! ❤🎶
Going to the Ottawa show at NAC, can't wait! Graham, your songs are still wonderful! 🎶💕

Just raw talent. 2 properly grown up blokes, and a couple of guitars. Beautiful.
Graham Nash: Better than ever song-writing. His passion has not ebbed. I will cherish the new collection of songs.
I will never tire if his voice or songs. I grew up with his music.
This version of Bus Stop is by far the best I have heard, by far. including the original. There's just something about the Crosby and Nash style vocals (dare I say it) that gives it a rawness.
had me at "We enjoyed it"
What a wonderful gift to us all. Thank you Graham!
Wow. He sounds great still. Glad to see his voice has held up.
This is a song I loved and actually believed in love forever, until I found out it isn't. Great sound, think I was about 12 when this song came out. Nash is a wonderful singer.. memories, thank you.

Shane Fontayne played "Stairway to Heaven" at the Kennedy Center Honors a few years ago. His solo was magnificent! 🎶💙☺🎶
"Myself at Last" - what a song!! Man, he's still got it!

I have so much love and respect for this talented man.
Hello pretty 💝
Great for ever. Nash is one of the greatest genius of the music in every time.
Nash gets old, but the voice is just the same. This guys FABULOUS!!!
Oh my god........how sweet is this????? Love and Peace
With or without the Hollies or CSN, what an incredible performer. Amazing what two talented singer/guitarist can do all by themselves. Thank you Graham.

He is one of the true minstrels of this age. Still touching people
Amazing to see this magic moments with the master Nash please keep playing.
Thank you Graham. I loved hearing this. You're still so good.
Perfection.
Why won't they make recordings just like this. Forget about the studio and the multi tracks. This is as good as music gets

Love the Tiny Desk Concerts. Nash still sounds great. On Bus Stop, would have been nice to give a shout out to the original songwriter - Graham Gouldman, of 10cc fame.
I cant believe my ears and eyes ... Holy Smoke ... this is so deep and true a true Legend !!
Its amazing how they come up with that... the arrangement of the words and music in such a way of spirit, manifesting such truths, beautiful songs.
Wou, I'd never head of this guy. Fantastic music, I feel like I've been loosing out.
myself at last - first time I've heard this, and it is a beautiful song.
So beautiful:) 24 and so thankful my mom raised me to love this beautiful music
Hope my 9 yr daughter will say the same about her mama and daddy when she's 24. 😉
Last year i went to see the concert in Rome.was the best money i spent in my life.
Simple but not…straight forward beautiful melody…miss you 1960’s…especially the Brits!
Well said!
Thank you, Graham, your voice is as beautiful and distinctive as ever. God bless.
In Christ,
MA
The British are coming, the British are coming - and are most welcomed this time!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Brought us back our Blues and took R&R to the next level!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Did not know he was with Hollys. This song takes me back to my childhood. Just takes me back. lovely
This speaks directly into my heart, especially Myself At Last. Thank you Graham Nash for your lifelong commitment to the spirit, the sound, the voice and the truth.
Thank you NPR for such a wonderful artist at the desk . Nash is even better unplugged on his own . Such a musical genius over the years.
So many emotions... tears rolling down my cheeks. I think Graham Nash is incredible good, as his companion,,,
Our Universe is Laughing & Crying in the best of ways 💯
A living legend! Thanks NPR, your channel is simply the best!
True natural talent like Nash keeps most of his voice into age. It's a sign of how much they always had in the tank I think.
Great songwriting, storytelling and melodies, Graham is amazing.
Beautiful honesty and warmth thank you
I love Graham's speaking voice.
wow! nasn at his best. mature & lovely
what a beautiful ballad. worthy of anything the Beatles did. a magnificent composition.
lets not get carried away
Beautiful.........thanks Graham.
The harmony part always fascinates me.
Gorgeous harmonies as ever!
What a tremendous voice. Thank you so much for this wonderful treat.
Myself At Last , what a beautiful song .
Love that little Lowden Nash is playing.
From the first moment when I heard the Crosby Stills & Nash album, to the time I got to see you in concert in 1991, to this video...thank you for your music.
Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.....todo una época. Esto no es pare rejuvecernos.
another master wordsmith from the past!
Great memories with the voice of Nash, especially in 4 Way Street. Thanks for posting, NPR Music .
When I'm that old and still able to play and sing like that I'll be a happy man.
Nicely done guys....just amazing....I'm enjoying your music as much as you are playing it....
