      ? NO! I was there. It was a result of protest and shooting at Kent State, warning protesters to see what the man was doing to us; killing innocent students. Lyndon Johnson at his best.

      Sorry MARTIN. Steven Stills said it was about event in Hollywood; students protesting and the cops doing their usual overreacting. Field day for the heat? The heat is the fuzz: cops. He was warning protesters to be aware of what was going down with the Man (as we called them): Nixon, Kent State murders by our own troops! I was there.

      It was actually written about the California riots but Vietnam was going on at the same time so most people took it as a war song. I did too, I had to look it up!

    • @mpack65

      It sure is. We recently played a local festival which featured about 10 local bands with us headlining it. The last number was everyone back on stage playing this song including the jazz band and a local schools orchestra. Not as you might think in America but in the UK (and the whole audience joined in) my mind was totally blown!!!

      The song was about young folks in LA being harassed when hanging out on Sunset Strip (???).

    • @jackwindrom253
      @jackwindrom253 6 лет назад +14

      It was a bit more than that. The LAPD did try and enforce a curfew to prevent young kids from hanging on the Strip (after the City Fathers closed down some clubs - more than likely due to music, loud music into the late night) but that didn't deter people from hanging out, especially in the good climate that LA has. Unless you were there, or any other town across the US, you just don't know....things were brewing, ideas and creativity fermenting. That the song eventually was copped by the Movement for a much larger issue (yes Nam', but also a backlash against prurient/conservative values headlock on society that most of us wanted no part of). Love this version. There are other bands doing it too - the times dictate that it should.

    I could, quite honestly, write a 5 page essay on just how damned good this is. I won't cos that'll bore the shit out of everyone, but damn, this is good. So good. What a fantastic voice for a start, I love how everyone just watches everyone else when it's not their turn and pays so much attention. I love the young lady who does "nothing" but supply the most important of backing lyrics, I love everyone playing their instruments like they've known and loved them for decades, which I assume a lot of them have. How fantastic you all are. It's magical to listen to this, and so good to watch too. I know the original track, I've heard cover after cover, but this is outstanding.

    I'm telling you that I am a left wing* guy from the northeast but I love blue grass and the Buffalo Springfield presented this song to America around the time when I was discharged from service while I was overseas in Vietnam. I was a marine and dumb 20 year old but that song drove a nail into my heart. Glad he saw fit to perform it. This video brought tears to my 71 year old eyes.
    *Please ignore the first part of that first sentence. It was a mistake to write that. Since the trump election I have gotten pretty juiced up politically, actually, since I got out of service in 1968, but it was a mistake and pointless to write that bit about being a leftie.

      @@ReverberocketI appreciate your gratitude but when I got home in Feb of 68, there were a few friends of mine that immediately took me in and showed me that they cared but they were curious as well about who I had become. I hadn't become much and I never understood the narrative of how vets were treated badly by people protesting the war...That didn't happen to me.
      I do believe that our government has paid nothing much more than lip service to us vets over all these ensuing years and that was evidenced by the scandal in 2008 of the Walter Reid Hospital and by the way Iraq vets got thrown under the bus rather than being diagnosed with PTSD and treated for emotional damage.
      My Brother-in-law who was an, ex marine, a charismatic guy and a role model to me back in the fifties also treated me kindly. To be honest, I have spent all the rest of my life wondering why in hell, we fought in that country and in Korea and why 169 Marines got blown up and killed in Beirut and so on. These expressions of gratitude nowadays ring hollow to me. If I had my druthers, I would I would prefer that I had never joined and volunteered and I would have preferred in 2004 when we were poised to invade Iraq that there weren't so many Americans eager to send our kids into that country. Just like in the song: ..."signs that say hurray for our side"...became signs that said "Support Our Troops" and I wondered and was bitterly disappointed that people were so gullible to believe that we were doing something that justified the attack on a country that had nothing to do with 9/11 and had everything to do with Saudi Arabia. It's still as eff'd up as it ever was in my opinion.
      This song penetrates directly into the heart of who we Americans are and how we behave the way we do in the world and to each other and to our military.
      By the way, I was an aspiring wannabe folk singer back in the 70s and 80s and I was performing a two song set at a Universalist church open-mike in Plattsburgh NY when two young teens got up and did a set of their own. A banjo player and a guitar player and they were so wonderful to watch because it was the first time they performed in front of an audience. So damn innocent and so young. What a treat, we loved em and if you watch the video, the two Gibson brothers are sitting on the right side of that group (the guitar player with the white hat and the banjo player closest on the right. That is Leigh and Eric Gibson. We are proud of those two guys back here in the north country.

      "Just a bluegrass musician..." Son, you just exposed your ignorance. Bluegrass is the font of the most superb music, the well that never runs dry

    This is worthy of a recording, well done. I remember protesting against the Vietnam war, while this song was being played. Nice job! Now for those voted this down, you are total neophyte trolls.

    • @jameshanson536
      @jameshanson536 4 года назад +1

      I came of age during that era. I remember the protests and the marchers chanting, "Ho, Ho, Ho Chi Minh" and being absolutely enraged by what I considered treason. During this time I sailed as a merchant marine officer on vessels engaged in the Vietnam sea lift. In retrospect I have come to believe that I supported the war partially for the wrong reason and that the protesters opposed the war largely for the wrong reason also. Change a few words here and there in this song and it would fit our day and age like a glove.

    The greatest protest song ever written. It has such insight about the human condition. I especially love that it shows that both sides are RIGHT and both sides are WRONG. That is so hard to get people to realize when they are SINGING SONGS AND CARRING SIGNS THAT MOSTLY SAY. HOORAY FOR OR SIDE.
