It was Crosby Stills & Nash when they recorded their 1st LP. Neil Young joined the band just before they played at Woodstock. You didn’t see him in the movie, because Neil refused to be filmed. So they cropped him out of the shots, but you can hear him announced at the start of Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. Stills & Young played together in Buffalo Springfield, & they liked jamming on their guitars. One of the great groups of the era. ✌️❤️🎶
Young had some odd proclivities through the years. My uncle was in a couple of management positions in the 60’s thru 80’s, and said that Young made Lou Reed seem like a squared away everyman.
@@davidwilkins5932 Neil Young is a jerk. Always has been. Said some seriously obnoxious unwarranted things about Neil Diamond during The Last Waltz. Unnecessary, unprofessional, and clear professional jealousy for Diamond's commercial success.
@@davidwilkins5932 You could tell Young was an outlier. I saw them in '73 on their "we're not just getting together to do a ripoff tour" tour and Young traveled separately from the other guys. It seemed Stills & Young were 2 huge egos, David was just self destructive and Graham Nash was a gentleman. Imo.
They added Neil Young after their first record because Stills played all of the instruments on it and he told Crosby and Nash that they couldn't play well enough to tour it. He suggested Neil Young because they played together in Buffalo Springfield and really jammed off each other on guitar.
This song opens the album Deja Vu. Written by Stephen Stills. Great harmonies, as always, but Stephen is a sadly underrated guitarist. This is an outstanding album. Thanks, guys, for taking the Time Machine back to March 1970 . Great memories.
Greg Reeves' bass soloing at the end of Deja Vu is absolutely fantastic to this day. He was a Motown player too. Should've done more recordings, though he is still with us.
CSNY was the first concert I ever saw. First hour was acoustic with a lot of 3 and 4 part harmony. After intermission it was electric, with Stills and Young’s dueling guitars built upon a solid drum/bass rhythm, Crosby’s rhythm guitar, and Nash’s organ, highlighted by their 4 part harmony. Still probably the best concert I ever saw. In the late 60s Crosby was in the Byrds, Nash was in the Hollies, Stills and Young were in Buffalo Springfield. David, Graham and Steven met at Mama Cass’s house in Laurel Canyon and they knew instantly their combined voices was something special. CSN made many records and toured for decades. Good music. Neil brought the “ooomph” and then their music soared!
CSN is awesome and known for harmonies and the silky voice and excellent strumming of Stephen Stills. Add in Neil Young's songs, his rock edge and distinctive voice, and the inspired guitar back and forth with Stills, and awesome gets more awesome. Neil Young came and went from the group - he'd show up and stay as long as he could stand it then leave again - he's more of a lone wolf musically.
There were CSN and CSNY Neil Young joined later and also left earlier to do his own thing again. There’s a soap opera to be written about these 4 dudes and their work together. Stills and Young were in Buffalo Springfield (For What it’s Worth is their signature tune. PLEASE check it out) and Crosby was in the Byrds, Nash in the Hollies. There’s so many branches from this collaboration. Love to see more exploration from you guys of them.
Yeah, Nash said that Young left after one album with them because Crosby was such a pr**k--disrespected his gf, etc. Nash is still pissed about Crosby destroying the band.
@@gavinschwier8242 Indeed, there is plenty of great music created by artists in conflict--Oasis, for example. Nash is such a nice man, I was impressed at how salty he is about Crosby, said he'd never forgive him, etc.
They are all so talented. The Neil Young rabbit hole is 20+ masterpiece songs in his catalog. He is for me one of the most important musicians who has ever lived of any genre.
Stephen Stills - lead vocals, harmony vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, organ, bass guitar, percussion David Crosby - harmony vocals Graham Nash - harmony vocals Dallas Taylor - drums
I can honestly say: as many years as I've listened to all types of music, there's not one song by this band that I've not loved. Whether it be pre or post Young, this band's harmonies are just impeccable!! YOU-GUYS will enjoy ALL of their stuff! GREAT BIG, BEAUTIFUL, HONKIN' rabbit hole, HERE!!! LOVE IT! Take Care, You-Guys!! HUGS! j*
I managed to pull it off at a kareoke because I love this song, just had to burst it on the usual monotone stuff was playing and relieved that even the young ones LOVED it
This was played at every party! I sang every harmony role, knew this album so well. .. it was a creative, stoned era lol AND NO Autotune/oranything. Yes, a rollercoaster!
"To sing the Blues..you got to LIVE the dues. Carry on" Truest words spoken. Good Saturday morning Brothers.✌🏼 Love your choices, #1❤ channel!!! Perfect harmonies!! I carry this song in my DNA. FUNKY guitar by Steven Stills.
Stills and Young started in Buffalo Springfield for what it is worth. Young became a star. Check out Cortez the Killer, Like a Hurricane for the guitar playing, and a boat load of other songs that cross genres.
I still remember the joy 15-year-old me had in buying this LP and listening for the first time! Just a bit of history: CSNY was the successor to the group called Buffalo Springfield, which Steve Stills and Neil Young were part of. Buffalo Springfield's last album had a song on it called Questions, which was resurrected here as the second half of this song.
This song opens the album Deja Vu. Written by Stephen Stills, this song contains two distinct sections bridged with the proclamation, "Carry On, love is coming, love is coming to us all." The second part of the song is taken from "Questions," a song Stills wrote for his band Buffalo Springfield that appeared on their 1968 album "Last Time Around" .
CSNY are among the gods of Rock n' Roll and Folk Rock.....sen them them twice in concert!!! AWESOME!!!! Very very hard to harmonize....these guys pioneered that!!!
They helped with some of the Grateful Dead's harmonies on their album "American Beauty" and Jerry played pedal steel on the song "Teach Your Children". A different time in music culture...
This song is from the album Deja Vu which is one of my favourite albums of all time. An amazing album. Neil Young grew up in my hometown of Winnipeg, Canada Cheers
Crosby, Stills, and Nash added Neil Young for touring because Stephen Stills played so many different parts and instruments on the records and Young showed up with so many new songs they couldn't ignore them.
'Crosby, Stills & Nash' was the first tape I bought after my dad installed the 8-track player in my 1968 sunshine yellow Toyota Corona! It was the first car that I bought with my own money, which I'd earned working as an operator for Pacific Telephone☎
A GREAT song by a GREA group. They recorded so many great songs you should listen to them all. Your ears will thank you. I’m sorry I missed them at Woodstock but, duty called (the Navy).
As mentioned by many the Deja Vu album is amazing. Listened to it basically my whole life and yes it stands the test of time. My Canadian heart swells with pride as Neil Young who ive seen probably more than any other artist stands h&s above the rest. I know there will be others who strongly disagree and they have every right to do so. But i stand my ground in saying his discography stands for itself!
Buffalo Springfield gave birth to this brilliant band .Neil young left the band went solo for a minute then formed Crazy Horse..Young is recognized as being the father of the Grunge music genre.
Crosby, Stills and Nash (and sometimes Young) created a lot of fantastic songs, but I have to say, I feel like this is one of their masterpieces. Written by Stephen Stills, it’s unlike any other song I’ve ever heard. Another one you should definitely check out by them is Almost Cut My Haur, which was written by David Crosby. It’s killer.
One of the promotional late sixties supergroups. Stills and Young coming from Buffalo Springfield, Crosby from The Byrds, and Nash from The Hollies. I agree, it was their harmonies which made them legendary.
Thanks for doing CSNY. Do not know if you have done anything by them yet. If not they have a large collection to check out. Great harmonies.and Steven Stills and Neil Young are fabulous guitar players. As always fellas great reaction! Appreciate you 🙏 ❤
The "Questions" part of this song (the second half) was its own song from the Buffalo Springfield days. Stills added it to the beginning part to make one song from two.
The second half of this song is adapted from a Buffalo Springfield song called "Questions" which was written by Stephen Stills. Of course, Neil Young was also part of Buffalo Springfield.
Was listening to one of my favorites this morning and it came to mind that you guys might love it, an instrumental by fusion band Weather Report: "Birdland" - it's total mood lift. Everyone in the band is pretty amazing.
Love this band not just for their music but also for their heart ❤️ They do a lot of benefit concerts- I got to see them perform in Santa Cruz after loma preita earthquake
Note that this is actually a combination of two songs by Stephen Stills. The second half, after the instrumental break, incorporates an updated version of an earlier song, "Questions," that he had already done with Buffalo Springfield. Here it is: ruclips.net/video/1BCJwGYlcso/видео.html
"Carry On" is, arguably, the very best folk rock song of all time. It was the first track on the "Deja Vu" album, which my future wife and I listened to many times while lying together in bed. There are so many really good songs on that album. I highly recommend people giving it a listen.
When you look up at The Mt. Rushmore of harmonizing you can see CSN& sometimes Y up there. Legends amongst legends with both Neil and Stephen playing incredibly on their guitars!You guys need to listen to the whole Deja Vu album in its entirety all at one time. It will blow your mind. Look for Almost Cut My Hair and Neil’s Country Girl which are 2 of my favorite tunes!
Great song! More CSN&Y please, try Almost Cut My Hair, another all time classic tune. These guys were dope, their 70s albums are worth checking out. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎸🎶
This song is a CSN&Y/Buffalo Springfield mash-up. The second half of this song is called Questions and it appeared on the Buffalo Springfield's 3rd and final album Last Time Around (July 1968). Stephen Stills wrote both halves of the song. The Buffalo Springfield is arguably one of the most, if not The most, influential bands of the 1960's for this genre of folk-rock Southern California sound. From The Buffalo Springfield's demise came: Crosby Stills Nash and sometimes Young Poco Loggins and Messina
Thank you gentlemen. I agree with you in that the CSN&Y harmonies are special. Please give a listen to a lesser known song “Got It Made”. It was recorded 18 years after “Carry On” but but because of either the technology or experience and maturity, it has even smoother harmonies. Again, thanks and keep doing what you’re doing!
I highly recommended getting this album on vinyl. When the harmonies hit at 0:56 it's like wrapping yourself in a blanket in a cold room or the first sip of hot coffee in the morning
I saw CS&N and Neil young several times...only never together. The closest I got time wise was (July 9,1983) sitting in pavilion at Alpine Valley in Wisconsin watching Neil Young and few days later(July 12, 1983) watching CS&N sitting on the side of the stage at Wembley Arena in London. So there was an ocean separating those shows.😄That London show was part of prize package won in a contest run by Atlantic Records/CS&N Allies Tour and Westwood One Radio. Afterwards backstage had an interaction with Jimmy Page which I will wager was unique enough to have never happened before or since.
Ok now I’m right back in the early 70s and 15 yo. I love this album. This album Deja Vu is a must listen. Neil was a part time member. He’s got his own thing going. There is no one like Neil.
You can usually tell when Young is playing with them because the rock songs actually rock. I can't remember if you've done Woodstock or not, but his blistering lead guitar is what makes that song really go. And he was pissed because they had a harder, more rough edged take than the one they released that he liked better. That was a constant source of conflict among them...Neil wanted everything raw, ragged and emotional. The others wanted to polish everything to a pristine sheen.
I honed my harmonizing skills using bluegrass music, then perfected them with CSNY. The sole reason I was offered a spot with some bands. If someone needs to practice those skills, this bands material is an awesome place to start.
The Stills-Young Band album, Long May You Run, would be a good one to check out. The song 12/8 Blues or maybe Fountainebleau are great songs from it. The live CSNY album 4 Way Street, is one of my favorite albums. It has my favorite version of their song Long Time Gone. Great guitar playing from Stills and Young in it. I've always loved their different styles of playing, but I think they played better together. They kinda push each other.
My mom visited her younger brother for a weekend and she came home with this album. I was 11 and I can’t count the many times I listened to it in full. The entire album is great. Enjoy!
Neil Young was in and out of the band over the years. Crosby, Stills and Nash broke up multiple times as well. Graham Nash and David Crosby did a duet thing off and on here and there. This song is phenomenal, as is a lot of their songs are and they can harmonies are off the charts.
Amazing album. Amazing artists, trailblazers in Rock. I'd recommend "Woodstock", "Almost Cut My Hair" and "Wooden Ships" next, their first two CSN(Y) albums ... every track is great.
The second half of the song is the reworked "Questions", a Stephen Stills song from the third and final Buffalo Springfield lp Last Time Around. Worth a listen. Old Springfield fan here.
Stephen Stills wrote the song, played guitars, organ, bass guitar. Dallas Taylor on drums and Nash and Crosby harmony vocals. Crosby and Nash came into the studio to find that Stills had put together the music through the night. All they had to do was sing on it.
Ned from Spain again with a bit of info for you guys. About the 4 main guys, David Crosby was in the Byrds, Stills and Young were in Buffalo Springfield and Nash was in the UK hit makers The Hollies. They were all superb musicians but Nash was the harmony master. The rhythm section was the great but underappreciated Dallas Taylor on drums and a very young Greg Reeves on bass. This was a highly influential album and sold 7,000,000 units in the US alone. Compare the harmony work with groups like Yes, Kansas, Boston, America and Queen. Thanks guys this album has a lot of treasures for you to discover.
I'd offer the Grateful Dead's Americana pair ("Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty") as also being among the best harmonies of the day. Tracing the melody line in "Uncle John's Band" has always been a mystery to me.
If you liked this song, check out this song by Crosby, Stills & Nash (Neil Young isn’t on this one), it’s called “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes”. It’s a very upbeat song with great harmonies. My favorite song of theirs. The song is a little long, but my favorite part is the last section. Hope you check it out. Also, anther great one is “Love the One You’re With” by Stephen Stills!!! Awesome song!
Two songs that are a must for your reaction and in perfect "tune" with what's happening in this country today: "For What It's Worth", and "Ohio", please, please, please give us your take on these 2 songs! Hey, maybe do them both in one reaction video! They have become the 60's anthems. When you hear them you'll understand.
I always loved them with or without Young. The ultimate hippies' group. Carry On changes melody twice. Listen to CSN's "Suite Judy Blue Eyes", song has four melodies. "Our House", song written for Joni Mitchell. Another song by CSNY "Woodstock", a cover written by Joni Mitchell.
I absolutely love CSN and sometimes Y! And they were phenomenal in concert too! I still say that CSNY’s 4 Way Street is one of the greatest live albums ever made 🎶 ❤️
On the first Crosby, Stills, and Nash album, Steve Stills sang, played acoustic and electric guitar and keyboards. There was no way they could play much of this material live, because Stills could only play one instrument at a time, so they got Neil Young, who had played guitar and sung with Stills before in the group Buffalo Springfield. He joined during the recording of this album, but didn't play on this song. Stills played both organ an lead guitar on this song. There are tapes of him playing bass while jamming with Hendrix, so I guess that's where his inspiration for using a wah wah came from. Neil Young's lead guitar did add a rock edge to the song "Woodstock" though, and Young also had separate albums under his own name.
You know that one girl you were with and lost that was the love of your life at the time.. this is that song. Thanks so much for doing this one.. Dang I still miss her
This particular song is my go to when I’m feeling spiky. The vocals just smooth out all the bad feelings and then I fall into all the instrumentation and changes in the music.. by the end I’m just all blissed out and grooving along. Love it ❤
Y’all layed the foundation ! Now y’all get your stride ! Great week APB ! Y’all still CREEPEN 24.2 k ! Imma call my shot 25k by Friday 🎉 LA ! ROLL TIDE 😳😳😁😁 I’m here on that MS/ALA LINE ! Yeah we ROCKEN APB IN THE SOUTH !!!🥰
NO CHE, NEIL WAS JUST THE ICING THE FROSTING IF YOU WILL ON THE CAKE OF CSN! 😊 NEIL WENT ON HIS OWN BECAUSE HE WAS FOCUSEDD ON JUST MAKING GREAT MUSIC WITH HIS UNIQUE GUITAR SOUNDS, HIS HARMONICA AND ALSO THE PIANO AND KEYS!!😊 HIS LIBRARY IS HUGE HUGE JUST LIKE ELTON AND JUST LIKE JETHRO TULL!
Neil young is a menacing stage presence with his electric guitar solos. But equally impressive with an acoustic solo set 🤘❤️ check out album cut “like a hurricane” it will set you on another level
It was Crosby Stills & Nash when they recorded their 1st LP. Neil Young joined the band just before they played at Woodstock. You didn’t see him in the movie, because Neil refused to be filmed. So they cropped him out of the shots, but you can hear him announced at the start of Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. Stills & Young played together in Buffalo Springfield, & they liked jamming on their guitars. One of the great groups of the era. ✌️❤️🎶
Young had some odd proclivities through the years. My uncle was in a couple of management positions in the 60’s thru 80’s, and said that Young made Lou Reed seem like a squared away everyman.
Always loved CSN&Y !!!!! Big in my time !!!! Stephen Stills plays a MEAN
guitar, also the 12 string !!! 😘
@@davidwilkins5932 Hilarious. Poor guy is as talented as he is conflicted.

We recently lost David Crosby. Listen to “Almost Cut My Hair” off of the Deja Vu album with David on lead vocals.
CSNY are kings of harmony! Their song Helplessly Hoping really shows off their harmonizing talents
Helplessly Hoping was CSN without the Y. 😉
@@humphreygruntwhistle3946 cool, thanks

Yes, indeed! That was 53 years ago. Good Lord, where did all of that time go?
Greg Reeves' bass soloing at the end of Deja Vu is absolutely fantastic to this day. He was a Motown player too. Should've done more recordings, though he is still with us.
Saw Steven do an acoustic show in Pittsburgh in 1978. Great show.

I've haven't heard this in so long, and I really love it. Harmonizing is like music from heaven...
Cool fact is that Stephen Stills and Don Felder(Eagles guitarist) were in a band together while in high school in Florida.
Stephen Stills - lead vocals, harmony vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, organ, bass guitar, percussion
David Crosby - harmony vocals
Graham Nash - harmony vocals

One of the best "Twofer" songs in rock--The first part is sublime, the second part is groovetastic. Che was blissin' out--as one should to this, ha!
This song is from the album Deja Vu which is one of my favourite albums of all time.
An amazing album. Neil Young grew up in my hometown of Winnipeg, Canada
Cheers
Feel blessed to see CS&N live about 4yrs ago. RIP David Crosby
Great reaction gentlemen 👍

A GREAT song by a GREA group. They recorded so many great songs you should listen to them all. Your ears will thank you. I’m sorry I missed them at Woodstock but, duty called (the Navy).

The "Questions" part of this song (the second half) was its own song from the Buffalo Springfield days. Stills added it to the beginning part to make one song from two.
One of the greatest vocal groups, ever.
They did a lot of weird time signatures, actually, check out their song , "Deja Vu"..

Ok now I’m right back in the early 70s and 15 yo. I love this album. This album Deja Vu is a must listen. Neil was a part time member. He’s got his own thing going. There is no one like Neil.
You can usually tell when Young is playing with them because the rock songs actually rock. I can't remember if you've done Woodstock or not, but his blistering lead guitar is what makes that song really go. And he was pissed because they had a harder, more rough edged take than the one they released that he liked better. That was a constant source of conflict among them...Neil wanted everything raw, ragged and emotional. The others wanted to polish everything to a pristine sheen.
I honed my harmonizing skills using bluegrass music, then perfected them with CSNY. The sole reason I was offered a spot with some bands. If someone needs to practice those skills, this bands material is an awesome place to start.
The Stills-Young Band album, Long May You Run, would be a good one to check out. The song 12/8 Blues or maybe Fountainebleau are great songs from it.
The live CSNY album 4 Way Street, is one of my favorite albums. It has my favorite version of their song Long Time Gone. Great guitar playing from Stills and Young in it. I've always loved their different styles of playing, but I think they played better together. They kinda push each other.
My mom visited her younger brother for a weekend and she came home with this album. I was 11 and I can’t count the many times I listened to it in full. The entire album is great. Enjoy!
Neil Young was in and out of the band over the years. Crosby, Stills and Nash broke up multiple times as well. Graham Nash and David Crosby did a duet thing off and on here and there.
This song is phenomenal, as is a lot of their songs are and they can harmonies are off the charts.
CSN&Y had some of the best music of the time. Super talented musicians with a lot of great songs. Worth a deeper look.
Amazing album. Amazing artists, trailblazers in Rock. I'd recommend "Woodstock", "Almost Cut My Hair" and "Wooden Ships" next, their first two CSN(Y) albums ... every track is great.
In reference to the harmonies of these guys, Joni Mitchell once called them "rock and roll choir boys".
Another great pick, Thanks guys for sharing this reaction. What a time it was, rock on
The best harmonies in rock came from these guys
The second half of the song is the reworked "Questions", a Stephen Stills song from the third and final Buffalo Springfield lp Last Time Around. Worth a listen. Old Springfield fan here.
Stephen Stills wrote the song, played guitars, organ, bass guitar. Dallas Taylor on drums and Nash and Crosby harmony vocals. Crosby and Nash came into the studio to find that Stills had put together the music through the night. All they had to do was sing on it.
Did Stills play the tasty guitar licks?
@@rockertom7 I believe he did
Ned from Spain again with a bit of info for you guys. About the 4 main guys, David Crosby was in the Byrds, Stills and Young were in Buffalo Springfield and Nash was in the UK hit makers The Hollies. They were all superb musicians but Nash was the harmony master. The rhythm section was the great but underappreciated Dallas Taylor on drums and a very young Greg Reeves on bass. This was a highly influential album and sold 7,000,000 units in the US alone. Compare the harmony work with groups like Yes, Kansas, Boston, America and Queen. Thanks guys this album has a lot of treasures for you to discover.
I'd offer the Grateful Dead's Americana pair ("Workingman's Dead" and "American Beauty") as also being among the best harmonies of the day. Tracing the melody line in "Uncle John's Band" has always been a mystery to me.
If you liked this song, check out this song by Crosby, Stills & Nash (Neil Young isn’t on this one), it’s called “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes”. It’s a very upbeat song with great harmonies. My favorite song of theirs. The song is a little long, but my favorite part is the last section. Hope you check it out. Also, anther great one is “Love the One You’re With” by Stephen Stills!!! Awesome song!
This the first track on their second studio album, "Deja Vu". Definitely worth your time to check out the entire album. Trust
Eagles and America also have very beautiful harmonies in their singing.
And the Beach Boys
And Poco
Very true, but be careful with The Eagles. Reactors have received strikes or lost their channel from reacting to them.
Almost Cut My Hair is a great toon, too.
CSN(Y) really was the ultimate Hippie band. You'd be hard pressed to find better vocal harmonies anywhere.
Crosby was the only guy in the original Byrds who had a singing voice. But even then he was even better in harmony
Two songs that are a must for your reaction and in perfect "tune" with what's happening in this country today: "For What It's Worth", and "Ohio", please, please, please give us your take on these 2 songs! Hey, maybe do them both in one reaction video! They have become the 60's anthems. When you hear them you'll understand.
I always loved them with or without Young. The ultimate hippies' group. Carry On changes melody twice. Listen to CSN's "Suite Judy Blue Eyes", song has four melodies. "Our House", song written for Joni Mitchell. Another song by CSNY "Woodstock", a cover written by Joni Mitchell.
As I recall, the CSN&Y cover was the more popular version. It's on the "Deja Vu" album.
Probably my most favorite song by this band. There are some great covers of this tune out there, too.
I absolutely love CSN and sometimes Y! And they were phenomenal in concert too! I still say that CSNY’s 4 Way Street is one of the greatest live albums ever made 🎶 ❤️
Wow, this song is so summer in the 60s to me. Great oldie! Love the bassline.
Their harmonies also use a lot of open intervals of a fourth and fifth which have a brighter sound.
On the first Crosby, Stills, and Nash album, Steve Stills sang, played acoustic and electric guitar and keyboards. There was no way they could play much of this material live, because Stills could only play one instrument at a time, so they got Neil Young, who had played guitar and sung with Stills before in the group Buffalo Springfield. He joined during the recording of this album, but didn't play on this song. Stills played both organ an lead guitar on this song. There are tapes of him playing bass while jamming with Hendrix, so I guess that's where his inspiration for using a wah wah came from. Neil Young's lead guitar did add a rock edge to the song "Woodstock" though, and Young also had separate albums under his own name.
You guys are quickly becoming the best of the reactor’s..keep it coming
You know that one girl you were with and lost that was the love of your life at the time.. this is that song. Thanks so much for doing this one.. Dang I still miss her
Very interesting to hear producers’ reactions to this! They pick up on things that other reactors don’t. Thanks.
This particular song is my go to when I’m feeling spiky. The vocals just smooth out all the bad feelings and then I fall into all the instrumentation and changes in the music.. by the end I’m just all blissed out and grooving along. Love it ❤
They would be a great rabbit hole to go down
All of these musicians, from 1965 to 1974, used the sacrament, and praised God.
Y’all layed the foundation ! Now y’all get your stride ! Great week APB !
Y’all still CREEPEN 24.2 k !

Harmony was never done better.
NO CHE, NEIL WAS JUST THE ICING THE FROSTING IF YOU WILL ON THE CAKE OF CSN! 😊 NEIL WENT ON HIS OWN BECAUSE HE WAS FOCUSEDD ON JUST MAKING GREAT MUSIC WITH HIS UNIQUE GUITAR SOUNDS, HIS HARMONICA AND ALSO THE PIANO AND KEYS!!😊 HIS LIBRARY IS HUGE HUGE JUST LIKE ELTON AND JUST LIKE JETHRO TULL!
Neil young is a menacing stage presence with his electric guitar solos. But equally impressive with an acoustic solo set 🤘❤️ check out album cut “like a hurricane” it will set you on another level
