Agreed also. They never were tighter or more lyrical...in my opinion. Also this song has a gospel element to it. Perhaps that is because I grew up in a black Baptist church. Been grooving to this cut and album since 1970. I was 17 then. I'm 71 now.
I've been to 1CSN&Y and 4 CSN concerts in the past 22 years, and this was the opening song every time. What a legendary band to grow up with! RIP David ❤
Lucky you! I've seen Neil Young in concert, 2 1/2 hours at The Shrine Auditorium in L.A. He did his latest album in its entirety, 30 minute intermission, then came back out and did 90 minutes of some of his back catalog. One of the best the concerts I've ever seen! The set list for the second half of the show was only 60 minutes but Young did these long guitar intros, solos, and outros that extended the songs and set to 90 minutes.
I got to see CSN&Y at a free concert in Golden Gate Park. In 1991, at the Bill Graham Memorial. This was more than a decade before their reunion. I also got to see CS&N three times. Including opening up for the Grateful Dead at 3 River Stadium in 1990. And a show in the mid 80's with The Band. I've also gotten to see Neil several times. Including headlining the 3rd Bonnaroo festival in 2003 with Crazy Horse. And on the Grandfather of Grunge tour with Sonic Youth and Social Distortion. And with Willie Nelson's boys, The Promise of the Real. On the Monsanto Years tour. At the 3 Rivers show with the Dead. CS&N opened with the song Deja Vu. With the first words of the show being "If I had ever been here before. I would probably know just what to do. Don't you? " It was so perfect.. 20 years after the 60's at a show with the Dead and 40,000 1990's hippies... One of the best shows of my life.
I really enjoy seeing well crafted music just light you up - These are songs that have been special in our lives, so to see you affected by them on first hearing... It's like: yep, that's exactly what we felt !!! Thanks for sharing -
This takes me back to the best years of my life. We called it "stoner music" back in the day. I love your opinion on my generations music. Keep smiling, my friend. Thank you for the memories. ❤🇨🇦
Oh man! One of my favorite albums. Being almost 63, I grew up on this stuff. I was 12 with my record player in my room blasting this album. So much great music in the 70s!
Thanks for this reaction. 👍 1973..front row seats at Capital Centre in Maryland. Ticket was probably no more than $25. ❤️ Would love you to do some Neil Young solo.
Four Legendary names from three legendary bands... Crosby - The Byrds...Stills & Young - Buffalo Springfield... Nash - The Hollies. Together created one of the most iconic sounds and songs that many of us grew up with. Great Choice.
@@DENVEROUTDOORMAN someone's got to come up w a consolidated repository for 1st reaction version to use. It should be at least 95% studio original.... Then find the exceptions... Then noodle around all you want
From the same album- Neil Young’s Country Girl is the perfect follow-up to this Steve Stills number. Check it! and thank you big time for not interrupting the song!
Stephen Stills was their lead guitarist on this masterpiece and with no disrespect to Crosby and Nash, Stills was far and away the best guitarist of the three. In fact he's widely considered one of the best guitarists in popular music history by people who actually know music history...... Me
You're right about the lyrics. Stills was hooked on Judy Collins. Looking back now I see so many of his song refer back to a lost love. He wrote about her for many more years. That's an addiction, not love. She broke it off, obviously.
Lots of songs you could listen to. From CSN (before Neil Young joined the group), I'd recommend (studio version) "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes" (Written by Stephen Stills to try to patch up his relationship with Judy Collins--it didn't work), and "Helplessly Hoping." For CSNY, try listening to "Ohio" (about the Kent State massacre), "Our House" (written by Graham Nash about living with Joni Mitchell), and "Woodstock" (written by Joni Mitchell). David Crosby and Graham Nash were born to sing in harmony. It's a pity that they became hostile to each other late in life, and now, of course, Crosby has passed away. While you're at it, you could also listen to the music of Judy Collins, and of Joni Mitchell. For Collins, I'd recommend "Both Sides Now" (written by Joni Mitchell), "Suzanne" (written by Leonard Cohen--think "Hallelujah"), and "Since You've Asked" (written by Collins). You've already listened to some Joni Mitchell (considered the best of the bunch as a songwriter), but try listening to "Big Yellow Taxi," "Chelsea Morning," "A Case of You," "In France They Kiss on Main Street," "Free Man in Paris," "Real Good For Free," and "Don't Interrupt the Sorrow."
The original album cover had a feeling of actual leather. Of course it wasn't but it was made to feel that way which was very cool. After so many years the covers changed to just regular cardboard I guess in order to cut costs.
Groovy! Psychedelic-soul funky! "Carry On" kicked off side one of the classic CSNY album Déjà Vu. CSN&Y mastered three part harmonies like few others, perhaps rivaled only by The Beatles and The Beach Boys and The Temptations. I was a very little kid when that album dropped, but the hit songs on it got plenty of radio airplay in the years that followed because I remember hearing them on the AM radio in my Dad's 1970 gold Chevy pick up back around 1972 when I was five. I also remember hearing them regularly on FM rock radio stations later in the decade. The lyrics of "Carry On" resonated with the sixties generation beyond their literal interpretation, which is to say the girl he broke up with and the girl he's looking for can be taken as metaphors for something larger than a woman, perhaps an embodiment of hope. The sixties were fading and the seventies were dawning and the war in Vietnam was still raging, and rock-star heroes were dying, and "Nixon saying don't worry" (but that line is from a different song from back then). Stephen Stills wrote some of the quintessential songs of the sixties. For another taste also check out Buffalo Springfield "Bluebird" and "Love the One You're With" which he released as a solo artist.
I would disagree and cite a dozen examples to show you otherwise, but I don't care to waste my time on you. I post this for others so they will doubt your false claim.
This was the first album I ever owned as a kid in middle school. It was easy to listen to over and over and over. 😊. CSNY are the best, especially Stills!
It is so hard to pick a fav from CSN&Y cuz they have so many great tunes, but this must be near the top. Jazzy layers on layers. Harmony as Melody. Love it.
Great reaction, saw their reunion tour in 2000, was very cool to see Neil Young just hanging back and playing the supporting role....he loved doing that in CSNY, not being the center of focus all the time. He doubled that bass part in the second half on his guitar along with the bass, who was Donald 'Duck' Dunn on that tour
Great song, album, band. Saw 'em in Toronto '75 or 76. Brilliant outdoor show. Loved 'Marrakesh Express', the first thing I ever heard of theirs from the first album, minus Young. Long thought it was Jerry Garcia on that lovely liquid sunshiney pedal steel guitar. Live and learn, right? 🖖🏼😁🎶❤️🍁❤️✨️🕊
This is one of the best albums of all time! I would suggest reacting to the whole album. I got to see CSNY a number of years back here in Winnipeg, Canada. It was a great show. Neil Young grew up in Winnipeg.
@@DENVEROUTDOORMANI was referring to both reactions today (Al Green) it sounds like a break up song, which could of been about how they were all feeling about the group continuing, which they didn’t after this album. What is your interpretation? 😊
My brotha, you have s very refined ear. Your insights sre amazing. You should have been there back in day. Your spirit suggest a kindred spirit from that magical era.
CSN&Y was a huge corner stone in Rock music. this album in particular propelled the band and earned them very high recognition..to many. * Almost cut my hair* was the signature track of the album..definitely worth checking if you haven't yet.
I always loved the way CSN&Y sang together chorus-like. It was an unusual sound and still is. They occupied an important place in the music scene back then (late 60s-early 70s). There is another group who recorded more recently who did something similar (I wish I could think of the band's name, maybe I should go under hypnosis).
the switch up section is, kinda, sorta, a different song (stitched onto the end by Stills) titled 'Questions' - sometimes credited as such and sometimes simply appended to 'Carry On' with no attribution.
JM... you could spend the next 6 months doing reactions from this band and the bands they were in before they formed C.S.N.&Y. I have every song in all their albums so you'll be doing more from these fellas.
The best CSN is always with the Y added. Neil pushed them to play rock and roll. Edit...to hear this further illustrated, listen to their take on Woodstock which was written by Joni Mitchell. Maybe yoube already done that ine though.
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
Déjà Vu is one of the greatest albums ever recorded and was really the pinnacle of their success. Many other great songs from it to cover.
Totally agree!!!
oh yes!
Agreed also. They never were tighter or more lyrical...in my opinion. Also this song has a gospel element to it. Perhaps that is because I grew up in a black Baptist church. Been grooving to this cut and album since 1970. I was 17 then. I'm 71 now.
this music era will never pass this way again

Their harmonies were crystal clear. I love each individually, with their previous groups, AND as CSN&Y.
I really enjoy seeing well crafted music just light you up -

It's like: yep, that's exactly what we felt !!! Thanks for sharing -
I second that! Great music is timeless.
Great reaction. CSNY were
a sound unto themselves. Suite: Judy Blue Eyes is brilliant ✨️🎶✨️
Legendary 4 part harmonies.
Theyre still tattooed on my brain. Im so lucky to have been blessed with their talent 💓
Not sure what I love the most, your wonderful smile or your reaction. Lets say both! Oh, and I love this song too. Brings back so many memories. 😄✌️🫶
Great Stephen Stills lyrics. Possibly their greatest song.
This takes me back to the best years of my life. We called it "stoner music" back in the day. I love your opinion on my generations music. Keep smiling, my friend. Thank you for the memories. ❤🇨🇦
@@CommonWealther Ooh yeah. It still is. Oh crap. I forgot the rest of my comment
Not this...that was rock not acoustic like going from mono to stereo
We used to call it coming down music....morning madness...:)
Oh man! One of my favorite albums. Being almost 63, I grew up on this stuff. I was 12 with my record player in my room blasting this album. So much great music in the 70s!
I grew up with this music, too, but I had to use the family's stereo in LR. 64 1/2 now.
The live version on 4 Way Street is SO TASTY!!! ☮️💜
Stephen Stills’ acoustic guitar really stands out because all six strings are tuned to E flat
Nope mommy Mommy I'm a wimp can't handle live rock with Stills and Young exchanging leads on this and Southern Man.....take the training wheels off
JMBOY TV, you'll love one of their best songs "Southern Cross."
They're always great at harmonizing.
Can't beat their harmonies.
I've seen this group 3 times and that album hangs on the wall in my Music Room. You did "Almost Cut My Hair" last year. They have so many great tunes.
love this Jam ❤❤❤
These guys were great to see live! Love their music, and Neil Young's solo stuff too
Thanks for this reaction. 👍
1973..front row seats at Capital Centre in Maryland.
Ticket was probably no more than $25. ❤️
Would love you to do some Neil Young solo.
Especially from Young’s Harvest album
Historical musical brilliance from my teen years. Mozart, Beethoven, and Bach would have been impressed.
This band and this song is absolute 🔥
Four Legendary names from three legendary bands... Crosby - The Byrds...Stills & Young - Buffalo Springfield... Nash - The Hollies. Together created one of the most iconic sounds and songs that many of us grew up with. Great Choice.

Great album
To play the blues
You’ve got to pay the dues
Carry on
Im convinced David Crosby was in the group for the letter C. Stills and Nash boneheadedly named it C,S,&N when it was just them two
One of the greatest songs ever! A Stills classic!
I love your reactions. This whole album is so powerful! Those were great days and we were so beautiful!

I love watching young people discover my old music. You are awesome 😎
Many would put that album in the Top 10 Greatest Rock Albums somewhere, no argument from me.
Steven Stills really is a triple talent, great singer, songwriter and guitarist
Fantastic song 🎸🤘
Great reaction 👍💥
There's not one bad song by them
You really need to listen to Teach Your Children, excellent song with a lot of heart
Great reaction a lot of fine songs on this album
The original album cover had a feeling of actual leather. Of course it wasn't but it was made to feel that way which was very cool. After so many years the covers changed to just regular cardboard I guess in order to cut costs.
I have an original on my wall, and a Rolling Stone Mag add for the album right below it.
In my top 5 of greatest harmonies. Absolutely superb.

No such thing as psychedelic soul...aic training wheels means no psychedelic anything need live guitars trading leads not wimpy acoustic

Teach Your Children, Jerry Garcia plays the pedal steel guitar on that track.
one of the best albums of the day, I still have my well worn copy
I still have mine too. Top 10 album in my collection for sure! 👍👍👍😁
No 4 way street destroys this
Awesome band. Awesome music. I've seen Steven Stills do an acoustic show but never got to see them all together.
Check out the live version of this song sometime on the CSN&Y album "Four Way Street," a 13-minute Allman Brothers-like jam.
Rich. Just rich.
The most played album of my collection.

Great great song. That great guitar work was Stephen Stills.
Nope the 4 way street live rock guitar lead solos between Stills and Young make this sound like training wheels on this
Brilliant analysis
Almost wore this album out playing it so much back in 1970! I was in 8th grade.
This album is a masterpiece
I always loved the way CSN&Y sang together chorus-like. It was an unusual sound and still is. They occupied an important place in the music scene back then (late 60s-early 70s). There is another group who recorded more recently who did something similar (I wish I could think of the band's name, maybe I should go under hypnosis).
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes - LP - Crosby, Stills & Nash
Great harmonies
You said it! Fantastic song
So lucky 🍀 I got to see them many times
If I could go back in time to this era, I would go back for just the music! I'm Canadian and 66
The LP’s “Crosby, Stills & Nash” & “Deja Vu” by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were two of the great LP’s of the 60’s.
fyi, Neil Young did NOT contribute to 5 songs on this album.
Carry On, Teach Your Children, Our House, Déjà Vu and 4 + 20.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The reason your camera went out of focus is because that's the feeling you get listening to music from the 60's and 70's 😊
I got this great album from my brother at Christmas 1970..RIP Bro...
the switch up section is, kinda, sorta, a different song (stitched onto the end by Stills) titled 'Questions' - sometimes credited as such and sometimes simply appended to 'Carry On' with no attribution.

😅They are known for their harmony! Trust me, it's different ! DIFFICULT!
I feel like Im in junior high school again.
Song Teach your children, by CSN&Y
Nope CSNY tTeach Your Children on 4 way street with the big boy version
The best CSN is always with the Y added. Neil pushed them to play rock and roll.
Edit...to hear this further illustrated, listen to their take on Woodstock which was written by Joni Mitchell. Maybe yoube already done that ine though.
Neil Young is not on Carry On at all .
Graham Nash on Congas, Dallas Taylor on drums , Stephen plays everything else. CSN on vocals .
Harmony Harmony Harmony what more can you say about CSN and sometimes Y
My heart.
Still no all the words!
deja vu. Already seen.
