These guys were MASTER harmonizers! Today, people use vocal processing to get the sound that CSN got through their amazing natural ability. No vocal algorithm will ever get to this level of harmony without sounding artificial. I love these guys.
@Honest Markis that a stolen photo of the famous singer/actor/ dancer Mr. Jim Newman you're using to portray as yourself🤣🤣🤣??? Mr. Newman is a very proud, openly gay man that is NOT on social media sites hitting on women🤣🤣🤣!!! Guess you're not so "Honest" after all🤣🤣🤣!!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
CSN were the supreme harmonisers. Crosby will be sadly missed by the rest of the group, despite them falling out numerous times. He left an amazing wealth of music for us all.
My son played this song on the alter in honor of his father, my husband, after he saw his dad die in my arms in the middle of the night. My son was in 8th grade at the time. We talk and see each other a lot since he only lives 10 minutes away from me. Within the last 18 months, he told me he got his first tattoo. The tattoo is on the inside of his wrist and they are the musical notes to “take these broken wings and learn to fly !!” He is now 31 years old and a music manager and teacher in a private studio and was VERY close to his father. I am sooo proud of him for pulling through the wreckage of his past.
I'm a Paraeducator working remotely in my district that has had a very rough day. Thank you Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and David Crosby for bringing me back to myself. You brought me back to the part of myself that I so needed to connect with. Thank you for soothing this troubled soul today. You have always been my haven. Thank you❤❤❤
David Crosby was the real rock starllll Always was and always has been!!! Super thing, D. C. You did your best to overcome your addiction!lll ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The most beautiful lesson in harmonisation one could ever hear,I sat and listened with my face wreathed in happiness, I was there that night in Edinburgh absolutely freezing it was.the concert was sublime thank you so much for being alive in the same period of time as me giving me the opportunity to listen to you live. RIP David Crosby
This song reminds me of my lovely late Scottish wife who passed away on Monday, 28 March 2016, in Darlington, of a brain . Miss her so much. Cat/yusuf is a great artist.
Our generation is slowly, or maybe that is quickly, moving on. What a generation it has been and I would like to think it has left one hell of a mark for the books. RIP David Crosby may you be singing with the angles!
when I was a child in elementary school,I was in a choir,and our principal took us kids to restauarants at night and we sang gospel songs to the people there. I remember the applause when we would harmonize .Harmonizing sound opens folks hearts up. I remember the look in their eyes when we hit the notes perfectly and harmonized. It’s magic in my opinion.Thanks CSN.
there is something so truthful, pure and peaceful about those three great men. It's so simple and yet so deep and beautiful. They are just some old friends who have been through some crazy times and just love singing together. It's like they're becoming one soul when they sing. Man, this is really moving. I will never lose my sadness over being born in the wrong generation.
David Crosby... Few people in our lives are this iconic. Undeniably talented and will live forever through the music of CSN(Y). Got to see him at the Beacon Theatre in NYC 2014. Magic! CSN, Eagles, Stones, the Dead and the Beatles before them. There is now greater music in heaven than there was before. Safe travels until you return to us in the next life. Namasté
I hate that we're losing all these greats. These were the musicians and groups of my youth. They, along with so many others, were the soundtrack of my life. My heart breaks at the thought of losing such a huge part of my life....
Ma sono dei grandi! Si riconoscono in ogni nota in ogni variazione...sanno già cosa farà l'altro e cantano di conseguenza. Ho cantato per anni con due amici le loro canzoni. Un impasto vocale così è inimitabile. Grazie delle cose che avete fatto.
I’ve just come across this version of this Beatles classic. I love how they have added their own twist while remaining true to the original. Great work guys!
darn... Stills crushed it. splendid rendition with definite nuance and influence of CSN. just thinking that these three were born to sing together, glad they did because we're enriched for their love of music and song... peace and more CSN music.
I prefer without neil, i don't like his aura/energy. These three, when they can keep their shit together and aren't battling, have a harmonic sound that is unsurpassable; celestial in a way, even tho they are bad boys....💙💙💙☺
I saw CS&N with John Sabastian at the Honolulu International Center in 1969 soon after Woodstock! They performed Blackbird and I feel in with this amazing trio plus John of course! I don’t know exactly how many times I’ve seen them perform but I’ve seen them many times! Thanks for the lifetime of inspiration! Love you guys! Tommy
In the mid 1980s. I had the pleasure of being a roadie for 1 event of David Crosby in Fort Lauderdale Florida close to where i grew up. And was attending college the performance was in a bar with a very small stage and Mr Crosby was awesome as hell despite being very much under the influence my payment for working the show was only free admission and drinks from the bar and that was plenty to see such a great musician and performer so close as i was able to sit on a barstool right next to the stage BTW i was asked to hel as i knew a employee of the facility who was in charge of Having a crew of people helping to set up the stage and the equipment for the performance and i have always considered it to be one of the best live performances ive seen in my life
I can't hold my tears, my happiness at the same time this grieving pain, but my heart is filled with joy and my gratitude is infinite. Grateful for these visions that you have brought and made possible in my life. You were an important building block in my life. Each of my tears of sadness, but also the joy to feel each of your notes and melodies from your pen is happiness. my sincere sympathy to his wife and family and other relatives. Torsten Runkel
There There will never be musicians or singers that will ever top the amazing people from the 50’s 60’s, 70’s. No insult to the people that came before, or the ones after. A music lover, Irene 80 yrs old this year, just love the music, every song has a message, and still does to this day.
you can see how much fun these amazing icons of the counter revolution were having - all those years and nothing lost - just like their beautiful friend, poet and counterpart, Joni Mitchell, the've all looked at life from both sides - respect!!!
Graham Nash has said that nobody sounded like them when they harmonized. And they sing it as though it was one of their own songs that they have sung so many times that they don't have to think about how they're singing it together; it just seems t happen naturally. Astounding and wonderful to watch. .
Miss you Mr Crosby. My favorite Days on the Green concerts to attend were those with Crosby, Stills Nash & Young. Some of the best harmony ever.... ❤❤❤❤❤
Great to see them all so happy as they perform. I love watching them guide the song along, checking in with each other as they go. CSN will always be one of the bands ever.

My Dad passed away 2 weeks ago and I have had a blackbird come to my yard and sing to me every morning ever since that day.
Hello 👋 kim
@kim Evans Blackbirds are loving birds that can sense heartache...they know
My mother leaves me little white feathers all over.
Big love to you. When my pops passes it will be this band sending him off.
🤗
I am so thankful I grew up with their music and the music of many others like them. We had so much talent surrounding us in those days.
It had to take me - a huge Beatles and CSN fan - 53 years to come across this. It has me in tears.
❤😢❤
These guys were MASTER harmonizers! Today, people use vocal processing to get the sound that CSN got through their amazing natural ability. No vocal algorithm will ever get to this level of harmony without sounding artificial. I love these guys.
And...most of us do not retain that sweet clarity and control as late in life as these talented gentlemen!
Me too🎶🎶🕊
Yes,their harmony is just wonderful and will remain so forever!
I disagree. No computer-generated voicing could come close to the beauty and depth of CSN.
@@venuestudios who are you disagreeing with??!!
Just beautiful. Such superb harmonies. Crosby, Stills and Nash were incredible vocalists together- I’m sure Paul McCartney must love this version.
Steven Stills is underrated. What a singer and guitar player. Love him. Ah the music of my youth, and RIP David Crosby.
Saw him @The Grizzly Rose in Denver in the 90's. You're right he was fantastic
I adore him. Check Manasass and the album Stephen Stills 2
underrated by who? no one I know, one of the greats!
WOW!! MISS CROSBY DEARLY!!
underrated?
I’m grateful for every minute of joy they bestowed upon me
Stephen Stills deserves an exclusive place in the Hall of Fame.
@@patbrennan6572 amen to that..he's a guitar god. Tube Steven Stills simply amazing 😍
Three voices that all hear the music the same way. That is so incredibly rare.
With one guitar and three voices they can create more magic than any of today's music makers with their fancy computers and music programs.
@Honest Markis that a stolen photo of the famous singer/actor/ dancer Mr. Jim Newman you're using to portray as yourself🤣🤣🤣??? Mr. Newman is a very proud, openly gay man that is NOT on social media sites hitting on women🤣🤣🤣!!! Guess you're not so "Honest" after all🤣🤣🤣!!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Yes. They have a very real and wonderful talent.
One guitar and three voices. No electronic modification, no nothing. Just pure talent.
Stephen Stills can break my heart in one chord and one note of his voice. Genius beyond genius.
Agreed...Stills' guitar is genius, always
Bluebird. Long version.
@@artvallejos1460 I can get behind that choice!
Try a gift from Almighty God! Even the genius is from above. Talent on loan from God.
Change Partners.
I’m’ 66. I did not serve but I have four brothers. Two are struggling. This song always makes me cry. Thanks
XXOO to you and your brothers.
You don’t hear harmonies like that everyday! It’s a bloody shame the friendship didn’t last.
Oh my. So beautiful.
@Honest Mark 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@Honest Mark & @Kathy Sparks Koonce,
C’mon I know we love it.
Melt me like the snow in spring. So beautiful.
CSN were the supreme harmonisers. Crosby will be sadly missed by the rest of the group, despite them falling out numerous times. He left an amazing wealth of music for us all.
RIP David Crosby. Fly into the light of the dark black night 🖤
Never heard this version...beautiful. My brother passed in 2015 of cancer and this is the song I hummed to him as he passed away.
Esther Renee Rodriguez-Gueits My condolences on the loss of your brother.
Saddest and most beautiful song I've ever heard. It describes my life. I want it played at my funeral.
So very sorry for the loss of your brother.
Music is the thread that binds us together through the moments of our lives.
What a beautiful song to be played as you pass away.
Fly free Mr Crosby, thank you for the wonderfull music you have given us.
My exact thoughts.
We had David far longer than we deserved, we mere humans in the music world!
This is so good it brings tears to my eyes and makes me long for the freedom we had back in those wonderful days.
This, too shall pass. Faith Prayers
support HR1 and Voting rights and BBBB and we will get there
Rip David Crosby! Forever a legend 🙏

Always and forever my favorite group!!! 💔😢💔😢💔😢💔
I didn’t know he passed away
@@jolee6751 Last week😔 . But if we remember him, he will live forever🎶🎶🎶☀️💛
@@MrRjcosta ❤️ your absolutely right ❤️
A perfect example of a group of exceptionally talented musicians being greater than the sum of their individual parts
I cannot imagine what it must have felt like to be present for this magic when they were doing it live. WOW.
Only an acoustic guitar and 3 voices and thats what comes out. They are fantastic
3:12!
Indeed they are fantastic!
My God what a harmony these three had! Thank you for this gift.

Great story! Thank you for sharing. God bless your son! A fighter and a winner!
That just made me cry!
Very sorry your husband was taken before he could see you son grow up. I've had two near death experiences
Such a touching story! Bless you and your son. How poor our lives would be without music.
Sounds like he's got a hella strong mom who taught him to survive and flyyyyyy
This was my husband’s favorite song. Sadly, he passed away three years ago. This rendition touches my heart and soul.
Hello Gail, How are you doing?
Please accept my sincerest condolences!
love Still’s rusty whine, and the harmony that Cros and Graham supplied…well their voices blended like wild honeys… just so fine.
@carefulpilgrim Agreed. Just stunning!
So timeless, almost ethereal. Once in a lifetime connection of voices! Bravo to the harmony. Mary

This video was posted 15 years ago...I watch it now for the first time. Absolutely wonderful. What a Beatles cover by these monster artists...!!
Rip David crosby ..a very beautiful version just with an acoustic guitar and three voices ..great.
This song reminds me of my lovely late Scottish wife who passed away on Monday, 28 March 2016, in Darlington, of a brain . Miss her so much. Cat/yusuf is a great artist.
I feel the same when I listen to this….and think of my late husband.

Just bright ant and flawless. I could listen to this all day.
That has to be the prettiest thing I ever heard, like a choir of angels it is. Paul would definitely be proud....

Its amazing that they can take a moment and share with each other those amazing voices. They are one of the best folk groups ever.
I feel sorry for today's kids. At least we got to grow up with this kind of poetry.
The crap music they play in stores these days makes me appreciate real music from the sixties . And RAP ain't music!
I’ve just come across this version of this Beatles classic. I love how they have added their own twist while remaining true to the original. Great work guys!
I am 57 years old and still they bring tears to my eyes. May their music live on forever and may they all be blessed
Who's music?
A lovely version of a wonderful song
Love this song. Perfect tribute to David Crosby. RIP.
RIP, David. Pure vocal amazeballs. Love you, brother.
I have always loved the Beatles version of this song but the melding of voices by Crosby, Stills and Nash is incredible.
I've been a fan since 1970 and had never heard them do this tune. Their harmonies are incomparable. Bravo!
The way these guys reel each other in is a musical brotherhood like no other! So grateful blessed and inspired!
Wow. One of my favorite groups doing an excellent job covering a great song by my all time favorite group.What a gem.
So true !
No other trío of voices like CSN, they mesmerize any soul to un unknown dimensión with such beautiful Harmony ... 🍏🎩
En mis 66 años jamás escuché una vocalizacion tan perfecta y la precisión de los silencios,sin dudas un homenaje a esta gran banda
How can you not love such fantastic harmonies?? So well done!
How sad about David Crosby's death. I will always remember his voice and many songs. R.I.P. , I hope the next journey is peaceful.
David's memory is like his music---‐-it will live on forever RIP DAVID 🙏
darn... Stills crushed it. splendid rendition with definite nuance and influence of CSN. just thinking that these three were born to sing together, glad they did because we're enriched for their love of music and song... peace and more CSN music.
Possibly the best Beatles cover ever
Grateful Dead 1985 Why Don't we do it in the Road
One of MY favorite groups. Their history shows how hard is to keep a talented group playing together over many years
Not to speak I’ll of the dead BUT,
I only bring this up because he said so himself,
it was David Crosby’s fault. And he owned up to it.
I'm 40 & I grew up on their music while attending summer camp in the 70's! And I still listen to them.
So very beautiful and you harmonize perfectly 🥰. RIP David Crosby 🙏🙏🙏
@Honest Mark 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lovely version. Stills was an exceptionally gifted guitarist, and still doesn’t get enough recognition for his virtuosity.
I’m just imagining the rehearsals for this and how much fun this must have been. ❤️🎸
I don't think any 3 voices blended together as well as theirs. One of my favorite groups, with and without Neil Young.
I prefer without neil, i don't like his aura/energy. These three, when they can keep their shit together and aren't battling, have a harmonic sound that is unsurpassable; celestial in a way, even tho they are bad boys....💙💙💙☺
I agree! Also with the “if they can keep their shit together” comment. But wow they sound so good here! Stills voice is worn and perfect

David Crosby, you took me on such a journey.
Stephen Stills not only knows how to play guitar outstandingly but his voice is still as clean and pure as it ever was.
I have loved this band since I first heard them. No one can deny that they are amazing.
Best version of this song I've ever heard, and it is a beautiful song when the Beatles did it
This is so haunting and beautiful - thanks for the great music.
RIP Mister Crosby ❤ Thank you 🦋 Please continue singing to the world ❤
When those harmonies come in... Wow!
HumanoidOrganis
no auto tune here folks.. all the flaws, but all the character and strength in their voices..
Stills is the most underrated musician of the the 60's -70's
Beautiful gifted voice, YES! Gifted spirit, NOT so much!
Agreed
There
There will never be musicians or singers that will ever top the amazing people from the 50’s 60’s, 70’s. No insult to the people that came before, or the ones after. A music lover, Irene 80 yrs old this year, just love the music, every song has a message, and still does to this day.
No he's not. People who grew up with his music know that. 'Underrated ' is the most overrated word on YT.
@Emma Donahue "It was written?"
Wow ,,,,,so beautiful, love that harmony
A voice of pure velvet...we miss you David.
Wow...this has to be the absolute best version of Blackbird I have ever heard! And I love the Beatles....
That harmony is heavenly!
Just heard this rendition for the first time. Excellent job. I think Paul McCartney would agree. Good to hear The Beatles are their favorite group.
There’s something about the way these 3 harmonize that’s just glorious.
God bless you David. A tribute to my hometown Beatles. May you rest easy
This a song that will be played at my funeral!! So beautiful & wonderful!
Hello- just got back from Nashville and yes this was played at Leslie’s funeral
you can see how much fun these amazing icons of the counter revolution were having - all those years and nothing lost - just like their beautiful friend, poet and counterpart, Joni Mitchell, the've all looked at life from both sides - respect!!!
When they're really dialed in like this, they have the best harmony in rock. Just incredible.
Graham Nash has said that nobody sounded like them when they harmonized.

Miss you Mr Crosby. My favorite Days on the Green concerts to attend were those with Crosby, Stills Nash & Young. Some of the best harmony ever.... ❤❤❤❤❤
After all these years, their voices are as sweet as the birds in the morning.
So sad they'll never be together again.
Great to see them all so happy as they perform. I love watching them guide the song along, checking in with each other as they go.
CSN will always be one of the bands ever.
oh so happy to have you all ❤❤❤❣❣ as my family, the band and me will always be the best, we rise by lifting others
Hypnotizing how they just melt together vocally!
beautiful arrangement by 3 awesome singers. Thanks CSN
A great song sung by a great group! the live performance harmony was sweet.
