I am so happy I discovered Crosby, Stills & Nash in my 20s; they quickly became my favorite band. In this version, David's voice and Stills' guitar make the best version of 'The Lee Shore' I have ever heard. Every time I hear this masterpiece, I feel like I am flying over the sea like a seagull.
This is what you could call the miracle of musical evolution. Three musicians from buffalo Springfield, the birds and the hollies joining forces and becoming the best harmony group ever.
Amen, brother! I loved the great harmony groups: Beatles, Mamas and Papas, The Association, the Eagles, America, etc. But these guys have the greatest vocal sound, IMO, of them all.
@anthonyrocha7938 I'm not so fast Anthony the birds the hollies The Beach Boys the roches we're amongst the great harmony bands call Crosby Nash stills Neil Young the harmony was tempered a bit by the Guitar of Neil young
"from here to Venezuela there's nothing more to see than a hundred thousand islands flung like jewels upon the sea" are some of the prettiest words ever written, I swear.....
great songwriter, beautiful voice a true legend it's been an absolute pleasure listening to you and the guys for the past 50 years, rest in eternal peace ✌️ 🙏
Crosbys' voice is like no other, strong but sometimes touched with the witfulness of a child. And Nash had the gift of not letting his genius get lost in the magic of CS&N. Stills could rock a melody and when the 3 of them came together to create music; it survived the craziness of drug, drama, egos and life on the edge. I will always love these incredible artists and find joy in their being alive.
Crosby was the eldest, yet the most childish (narcissist & mean bastard lol😅) hence his child like voice and musical demeanour……Stills and Nash were FAR more grounded and in control of “habits” etc David was totally out to lunch most of the time 😅
Those with the biggest hearts often hide them safely behind a wall of hard exterior, particularly after having experienced the intense pain of the mediocrity of mind, heart and soul of this world's general populous. What he gives, he gives through his music, and for me, that is enough to love the man like a brother, the visionary brother of a better world. Thank you David for taking me there in your music to visit a time and place far beyond that I'll ever know. It was wondrous, it was life.
This is my favorite version and the hardest to find!! I've already played it 10 times already!! I don't know why but it just takes my mind somewhere else!! I just love it!!!
Yes, distinctly better version than the one I originally downloaded, and more to the point: I completely agree, I'm transported to somewhere "between here and Venezuela" with the breeze filling the sails.
def best version from the 1991 box set, which has some GREAT CSNY unreleased tracks (homeward through the haze...almost cut my hair long version......taken at all.... they have some other great tracks they never released, such as CSN's cover of How Have You Been... Crosby's stuff with the dead etc... too many great songs to count
yes a very good point but not strange any more to me how has stills escaped from guitar notoriety? guitar player after guitar player i have met does not know who he is other than the s in csn stills can fill in any gap in instrument or vocal with just a note live or recorded a master guitarist and sound engineer go back to csn 1 listen and you will hear stills' playing and vocalizing filling the gaps that album has never left me and continues to reveal stills' touch
@@nashvegasnow Likely because he hasn't really done much to make his career noteworthy since. Manassas could have done incredible, what an amazing band, but they didn't. All three members of CSN are vastly underappreciated as artists and folk only ever treat them as one unit.
It's a very nice version, different from the first one I ever heard which is on the 4-Way Street album and is more haunting in atmosphere. It will always be my favorite version - the one I recall from when I was 13 and had the *8-track* - lol th-cam.com/video/VVxMnNN005s/w-d-xo.html
Around five years ago a mate suggested we go and see CSN play live in London, but I balked at the £75 ticket price. It was one of the most foolish decisions I've ever made.
My all time favorite band! Crosby had the voice of an Angel and Stephen plays the guitar like no one else can. Add Graham and you had the perfect band. Amazing musicians! Love their music ❤
Rest in Peace David Crosby 08/14/1941 to 01/18/2023. As a 29year old kid who was born in 1993. Your band to me was BETTER then the Beatles. And always will be in my heart as the BEST Band ever formed in history. You and Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young. All four of you were great together And you were a great person despite all the bad times in your life you delt with and survived from. May your soul reunite with the woman you loved long ago. Rest easy David

One big music icon gone. Lee shore was one of my fav CSN＆Y songs。When I was living in Berkeley、Calif I was a little late for the concert . When I got there Crosby was playing this song.
I first heard part of this version while watching the documentary ‘David Crosby:Remember My Name’. It was like discovering a never before seen Picasso. It blew me away then…and still does. 😮
"Sunset smells of dinner" got damn! Brings me back to my childhood days on Nichols Ave Newmarket N.H playing freely with the other children... A college student played this from their window incessantly that summer.

Wonderful arrangement of a wonderfully beautiful song. My favorite Crosby song. I knew he would probably be the first of the four to go, but it the more it sinks in, the more it saddens me. Although the era ended awhile ago, his death certifies it.
Yes this is one of the most beautiful songs they have done - this version is definitely the best of those I've heard. Takes me back all those years ago!
I loved this - thought it was beautiful. I was introduced to CSNY when I was too young to truly appreciate what they were all about, however their track Dark Star on an album entitled CSN released in 1977 used to evoke such emotion in me that I will never forget it as long as I live! Since then, the harsh realities of life has numbed my senses somewhat but perhaps now is the time to start listening to them again...listening with intent.
My podenco spanish hunting dog Billy used to sing along to this .... he passed away aged 16 the day lockdown started ... for the rest of my life every time I hear this (and that’s most days) I hear his song ... thanks David it was nice to see you in person in Manchester a while ago ... keep well
Holy shit! That's beyond words. Different than Crosby-Nash Live 1977. That was a great backup band with David Lindley and such. But this is mind blowing! The harmonies toward the end of the lyric could be the best ever in my opinion. Thank you for the natural high!
so dreamy.... this song is the essence of beauty. my words cannot express how i feel when i hear this song, all i manage to express is that it takes me in an enchanted land
I am so happy I discovered Crosby, Stills & Nash in my 20s; they quickly became my favorite band. In this version, David's voice and Stills' guitar make the best version of 'The Lee Shore' I have ever heard. Every time I hear this masterpiece, I feel like I am flying over the sea like a seagull.
My absolute favourite version. Makes me choke up every time. RIP Dave.
Facts ty youtube
A Canadian, a Briton and an American. Somehow they made it work beautifully
This is what you could call the miracle of musical evolution. Three musicians from buffalo Springfield, the birds and the hollies joining forces and becoming the best harmony group ever.
The term SuperGroup definitely applies here. These guys spoke for an entire generation.
Amen, brother! I loved the great harmony groups: Beatles, Mamas and Papas, The Association, the Eagles, America, etc. But these guys have the greatest vocal sound, IMO, of them all.
So glad I was there to hear it happen!
When they applied the name "Super Group" to these guys it really fit. Holy Hell what a trio.
@anthonyrocha7938 I'm not so fast Anthony the birds the hollies The Beach Boys the roches we're amongst the great harmony bands call Crosby Nash stills Neil Young the harmony was tempered a bit by the Guitar of Neil young
Bon voyage David, sail on!
Fantastic piece of music - RIP David Crosby
"from here to Venezuela there's nothing more to see
than a hundred thousand islands
flung like jewels upon the sea"
are some of the prettiest words ever written, I swear.....
I am Venezuelan !!! Beautiful song and the name of my country is there!!
Or sung...
Yes this is just such beautiful poetry. Crosby's voice is so beautiful here. But the live version on 4 way Street is my favorite
This song is just transcendent. And that guitar and harmonica dance at the end is everything.
RIP on the Lee Shore, David 🙏💔
RIP David Crosby you will be missed.
RIP David Crosby. You will be forever missed and always remembered❤
Carry On David Crosby. RIP
RIP David Crosby, good bye legend! This is my favorite csny song!
This song may have changed my life.
great songwriter, beautiful voice a true legend it's been an absolute pleasure listening to you and the guys for the past 50 years, rest in eternal peace ✌️ 🙏
In memory of one of my best friends
RIP Darren Cartwright
Love you mate ❤
I'm sorry for your loss. May your friend rest in peace, and may you and his family be healed and comforted.
The musical soul of a generation!

He was usually too high to be witful. Wistful? Maybe, probably.
Stills guitar licks = genius beyond genius. Just beautiful. Definition of nirvana.
Those with the biggest hearts often hide them safely behind a wall of hard exterior, particularly after having experienced the intense pain of the mediocrity of mind, heart and soul of this world's general populous.
What he gives, he gives through his music, and for me, that is enough to love the man like a brother, the visionary brother of a better world.

professormacdeezy thanks for the info! Agree with all the comments here about this version. Listening to this takes me to a distant beach at sunset
Strange no one gives credit to the marvelous solo guitar from Stills.
Stills makes the song
This mix was overdubbed slightly
yes.
yes
a very good point
but not strange any more to me
how has stills escaped from guitar notoriety?
guitar player after guitar player i have met does not know who he is other than the s in csn
stills can fill in any gap in instrument or vocal with just a note
live or recorded
a master guitarist and sound engineer
go back to csn 1
listen and you will hear stills' playing and vocalizing
filling the gaps
that album has never left me and continues to reveal stills' touch
@@nashvegasnow Likely because he hasn't really done much to make his career noteworthy since. Manassas could have done incredible, what an amazing band, but they didn't. All three members of CSN are vastly underappreciated as artists and folk only ever treat them as one unit.
If the last thing I hear in my mind as I am leaving this world I will go out happy.
Completely agree - I'm going to put this on the sound track that will be played at my memorial service, along with "Desperado".
Johnny Russell touché!
I've thought this also
A legend is gone. I'm glad I saw him perform live in my home town a few years ago.
😢 So thankful for David’s music, along with Stills, Nash- Young. My favorite hippie! Rest easy ! You are a Legend! We will all miss you!!!!!😢
He had his demons, but he was a great singer/songwriter..Which will live on and still be enjoyed by people who remembered him.
My favorite CSN&Y song. Still gorgeous.
Masterpiece version
Simply breathtaking thank you for this ❤️
Such a beautiful song, with soul and harmony. As a sailor this one speaks to me.
This song is perfection. It gives me the shivers every time I hear it. Croz's voice just soars, doesn't it?
It's a very nice version, different from the first one I ever heard which is on the 4-Way Street album and is more haunting in atmosphere. It will always be my favorite version - the one I recall from when I was 13 and had the *8-track* - lol

David Crosby is a musical god. Simply no other way to put it.
All kudos to David Crosby for writing and singing this marvelous song. I loved it since I was 16. :)
Their voices blended so beautifully. RIP David Crosby. ❤
Good ole Crosby...with Stills guitar Young voice it's a Bingo!
Don't need take drugs to love the good ole hippy days music!
My all time favorite band! Crosby had the voice of an Angel and Stephen plays the guitar like no one else can. Add Graham and you had the perfect band. Amazing musicians! Love their music ❤
Good bye David Crosby! Thanks for sharing your riches.
This track is such a beautiful reminder of how talented as a musician and poet David was. One of this best tracks he recorded imho!
Oh those voices! They will never come our way again. Pure magic.
thanks David you enlightened my days from when I was 15, 48 years ago.
This song is like a jewel flung upon the sea of my audiosphere. Thank you Croz. You're the greatest of all time.
Rest in Peace David Crosby 08/14/1941 to 01/18/2023.
As a 29year old kid who was born in 1993. Your band to me was BETTER then the Beatles. And always will be in my heart as the BEST Band ever formed in history.
You and Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, and Neil Young.
All four of you were great together
And you were a great person despite all the bad times in your life you delt with and survived from. May your soul reunite with the woman you loved long ago. Rest easy David
Stephen's guitar adds so much to an already beautiful song.
Beautiful harmonizing boys! Chills every time! 🎶🎶🎶👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

David has one of the most beautiful angelic voices in music history
From their sailing days. Some great stuff came out of that time period. As a sailor and ocean person, they are the anthems of my life.
Questa è, perfezione
Their voices often grace Stella Blue, my Tartan 37. Full time cruiser.
freaking Stills! man, he can rip with the best of them
Could not agree more!! So under appreciated.
light years ahead of young
I remember hearing this when it first came out. I cannot believe how much time has passed. This music is incredible and soul touching.
Ohhh l love this song 💟💙,my brother n l used to play it constantly ,sadly he passed and when l hear it bring huge smile like my bro right beside me 🤗🥰😥💙👍👍👌
Makes me MISS SAILING!
ALL the Coastline and Island references...
AWE-
Too Long Ago!
😂 ❤
Beautiful song. I have loved CSN &Y since the beginning ❤❤❤❤❤
One big music icon gone. Lee shore was one of my fav CSN＆Y songs。When I was living in Berkeley、Calif I was a little late for the concert . When I got there Crosby was playing this song.
I get goose bumps when I hear this; such a class act was Mr Crosby, despite being a crotchety old git!
This is HEAVEN, and WHY hasn't this been released?!!!
It's from their 1991 box set.
I first heard part of this version while watching the documentary ‘David Crosby:Remember My Name’. It was like discovering a never before seen Picasso. It blew me away then…and still does. 😮
Love the shot of Henry Diltz photographing them on stage, right after his iconic shots of the CS&N album cover.
One of the most beautiful song ever ... I have no word for this song just so incredible ...
Had really many campfire parties where this was playing in the background. Really great tune to listen to while having chill events.
One of the best songs ever made! The voice with that guitar.
One of David's best songs.
If not the best.
Did he write it?
@@lastnamefirst4035 he did, while at Sea on his schooner
I could wander around for years on the lee shore..
I can't stop crying!
"Sunset smells of dinner" got damn! Brings me back to my childhood days on Nichols Ave Newmarket N.H playing freely with the other children... A college student played this from their window incessantly that summer.
Fab song. Conjures images effortlessly. Great players
Reminds me of The Miller's 👣🖤🌼🍀🍒😇 N. Ft. Myers, Florida 2000
Unbelievable recording, a band that can easily be put on the same level as the Beatles... this is another type of connection, it is beyond music.
Stephen Stills guitar 🎸 tone and style is just totally legendary and unmistakable ❤
This velvet voice of crosby ❤
This is perfect. Total pureness.
this has to be one of their top 3 songs, but didn't make it onto a studio album! A shame.
This version is pure magic.

Wheel gull spin and glide
You've got no place to hide
It's 'cause you don't need one
All along the Lee Shore
Shells lie scattered in the sand
Winking up like shining eyes at me
From the sea
Here is one like sunrise
Older than you know
It's still lying there, where some careless wave
Forgot it long ago
When I awoke this morning
Dove beneath my floating home
Down below her graceful side in the turning tide
To watch the sea fish roam
And there I heard a story
From the sailors of the Sandra Marie
There's another island eight days' run away from here
And it's empty and free
From here to Venezuela
There's nothing more to see
Than a hundred thousand islands flung like jewels upon the sea
For you and me
Sunset smells of dinner
Women are calling at me to end my tales
But perhaps I'll see you the next quiet place
I furl my sails
Thanks Samuel Greetings from Greece
A surprisingly difficult song to sing and get exactly right like David Crosby does. This version is so smooth with some great guitar solos.
Wow it was so great to hear this again ❤️
Wonderful version of a great song!!!!
Masters of melody.
One of my fav tracks, perfect harmonies and the lyrics
Fantastic song never heard it before. Everything was great
Perfection.
Wonderful arrangement of a wonderfully beautiful song. My favorite Crosby song. I knew he would probably be the first of the four to go, but it the more it sinks in, the more it saddens me. Although the era ended awhile ago, his death certifies it.
I've been loving them and each of them since I was 12 years old and ever
Makes me cry for joy! 🎸😍😪
I adore this song.
I like how lee shore sounds like leisure, because this song is so chill!
Yes this is one of the most beautiful songs they have done - this version is definitely the best of those I've heard. Takes me back all those years ago!
This is the best version of this beautiful song !!!
Absolutely beautiful!
I'll always miss David.

Well put, Robert! It is sensational!
Pure skill, genius and beauty all rolled in one
This is such a perfect rendition of one of David's gems.
wow...what a beautiful rendition of this classic.
You cannot get a better version than this. Period.
I was unfamiliar with this song until noticing it on my "best of" cd, now it's one of my favorites of theirs.
so dreamy.... this song is the essence of beauty. my words cannot express how i feel when i hear this song, all i manage to express is that it takes me in an enchanted land
I agree, simply magical ask Graham Nash once said at RPI fieldhouse in Troy New York..... Harmony and perfection....
