The best 49 minutes you will ever spend watching this. A stage chock full of serious talent led by the one and only Croz, and the looks of pure joy on the faces of the kids from St Mo High choir and band was just beautiful. I'm going back to watch it again now. Rest in Peace David.
Beautifully stated❣️
I remember when Super-Cussions came to ESHS and it was a once in a lifetime kind of a treat
I don't know if they still tour USA-HS's but it's definitely a memory that will remain
I was lucky enough to have met this man but I still can't imagine what it must have been like to SING with the CROZ... OMG I too was just feeling what they must have been feeling - just meeting him I was up on a cloud for 14+ hrs couldn't get to sleep that night.
He had an aura I don't think He even was aware of that was gifted/shared with us Fans.
😂❤david was the best
I was blessed with seeing Crosby & Nash in1972 in big field in Ct.. magical
But this is a treasure!!
Agree with every word. I have sent to my kids in their late 30’s and early 40’s. What makes this so special is the addition of the SM choir and orchestra and Malibu Drum Corps. Fun to see young people really getting into it. One of the best concerts you will ever see with David Crosby rocking the center stage. Thank you Venice for making this beautiful tribute..
The one thing that never failed David was his voice… sweet till the end!
This is what you get when you have great musicians playing outstanding material. RIP David Crosby.
Guinnevere is simply one of the most beautiful songs ever written. RIP David and thanks for all the music which was a soundtrack for my youth....🎼🎵🎶🎤🎸🎸
I agree so much
And never sang it the same a great treat to hear each time
Absolutely loved CSN (Y) & David was such an experience to meet and his hands was a wow moment for me... Shaking hands with such history was the strucking point- uno what I mean?
He was on tour with Thousand Roads
Oddly his song on there
These Hands just another wow moment I won't ever forget❣️
You nailed it this is my music my life and my love! Semper Fi
I feel like too many singers doubled each of the harmony parts in this rendition and it made the vocals too thick
Agreed. Everything about it is wonderful from the unusual note progression and song structure to the long intro to the fantastic harmonies.
My generation is slowly passing, but the music will stay forever 💖✌️
We were blessed...
🙏✌️
this is a liberals wet dream
Speaking to the condition of man😊thru music.
We lived in a great era!
I will tell you, man. I'm 14 years old, born in November of 2009. And I've got it in my heart to keep rockin the way these folks did in your era. I've got a drum set, bass, electric and acoustic. Harmonica, keyboard. And the only band I've ever seen live was The Doobie Brothers. Money well spent. If you're losing hope, you can rest assured there's at least one of us out here gonna keep the culture alive.
Bass player quietly rocks the House down . The Heartbeat of this once in a lifetime Band
The dude is Rock Solid and bursting with Heart Energy. So humble. His name is Mark Harris and I couldn't find out more about him.
I agree, amazing base
Jeffrey, Google mark Harris. I found a lot about him
He was a quiet storm holding it down..tardy to the bow at end..but we saw him
Rest In Peace David Crosby. You brought us a lot of joy and happiness. And some drama to wash it all down :)
RIP David Crosby. The sountrack of my youth. What a magnificent and magical performance. Tears of joy 🙏
Really thankfull for "YOU TUBE" and all of the individules as well as the magicians that put this together. Ya made a 70 yr. old man Happy !
Well that was the best 48 minutes I’ve spent in quite some time!! That was awesome, thank you everyone and RIP David.
so special . loved the kids with oldsters jammin
Most agreed..and I was jamming while working...and on break...will be going back to listen and watch not distracted!!!!
so agree
😢0😮⁰
My life will never be the same 😭
The "magic" of LIVE performance can not be over stated. Here we have Crosby blending perfectly with other voices he normally didn;t work with and the harmonies are just as pure as with CSN. The set list if a Crosby Greatest Hits and they for me. ALWAYS were the true soul of CSNY. These are the beautiful songs, Wooden Ships, Guienevere, etc that never sounded the exact same twice. Crosby knew how to write ''openly" so performing each time could be open to musical interpretation. This era of music no longer exists. RIP mr Crosby.
Yes and writing openly is much rarer than just writing very well . Not many could do that . Crosby and Zappa could .
Four Way Street.
- one of the best Live recordings ever made.
God bless who put this together and those who said yes !!
For me David Crosby is one of the best ever , not a saint , but utterly inspired and brilliant.
who says he ain't a saint...
@@jddowning7571 Yes , point taken , it's not my place to say ...
Legend
Awww, it brings tears to my eyes seeing all those kids make beautiful music together!
I wonder where those kids are now and if they understand what a great honor it was to perform with them.
Wow! What a school. What a concert. What a message to those kids, now adults....I wonder if they realised how special this was. The school band always made me cry but this was something else. 😭 ...and for the 4 dead in Ohio - what an atrocity, loss and waste of life - so glad they can be remembered like this.
...thinking of those student musicians who heard Ohio for the first time at rehearsal for this show. How they felt when they learned the story. Their understanding of what it meant to write and perform it just a few weeks after the killing. Did they know it was all over the radio? Took a lot of guts to do that. Sometimes a musician is more than just a musician when they are the conscience of a population.
@@greenlightwilly and to know the anniversary concert of Kent was cancelled due to the pandemic is very sad.
I remember getting the flyer for it, he was so happy and excited to just be laid flat to cancel it soon after posting... He often said that was probably going to be the last and now never
I have a copy of that flyer if you care to have a copy
this is a liberals wet dream
This captures the essence of early CSY while still being its own thing. Amazing and powerful. What a treasure.
What a lovely tribute…Carry On… David R.I.P.💐
🎶🌜🌞🌛🎶
Thank you Venice for posting this awesome concert. I’m 69 years old and for the last 48 minutes I felt 40 years younger and in my prime. David Crosby was a Mastura awesome music to numerous to mention such as Wooden Ships, Ohio and Guinevere. Thank you David for all of your music. RIP.
Rip,🙏 David Crosby.Thank you, for all your music 🎶 🎵
Crosby won my full love and admiration as he poured out his rage and indignation at the tyrants who are at war with freedom. This battle is just beginning...
Yes, it is...thankyou for this footage.
He should've lashed out at communists like obama and biden if he cared about TYRANNY!
And of course we have to remember that Neil Young wrote this song!!! And it's even more relevant now, than when we were all against the war in Vietnam except the Fukn Politicians!!
When David, as a young man, called out the Kennedy Murder for exactly what it was, I believe it was at Monterrey…he rose to the level of a true American Patriot!
Always loved their music and their songs played at my Junior prom, when I was 17. God bless David Crosby. Their music been entertaining me since 1969.
I grew up listening to this music, thaks so much croz u were the best at creating this magical world. Love and miss u RIP.
Absolutely fantastic! Those of you who haven't listened..... do yourselves a big favor. Just superb.
I just found this! I am so glad I did! RIP David, you were one of the most loved voices of our generation. RIP, brother. We will all be with you soon. Peace and Love!
AMEN. We'll all sing together like old times, soon. RIP Croz.
I went to Kent State. I lived in Ohio at the time of the shootings and my grandparents, aunt and uncle and cousins lived a couple miles away. I’ve listened to Ohio hundreds of times. It never brought tears to my eyes until I saw this, though it should have. This was just simply incredible.
Yes. It got me! Because of those kids!
This music will NEVER age… it is divine
Say what you will but David Crosby made this song what is was and Will be. What a strong version. Never forget what happened and see that it 9t never happens again dear God!
Saw Crosby - Nash at Leicester De Montfort Hall. Possibly my greatest experience ever (though winning the Premier League was pretty cool). I have seen CSN and Neil, but that night in Leicester topped them all. I was blessed. What a huge loss. The thing about Crosby - yes, he was cantankerous at times - but, he believed in what he was doing. It's all about the truth. It's great that people get to share video like this. He was, and remains, a great American export.
These are my brothers in heart and soul! We are all the same cloth and for this I am grateful! David sail on you have given us so much beauty. What a joy to have lived in a time of such moving musical artistry.❤️👊
Thanks David Crosby . Love you Man.😢
David’s music was much more than just the playlist of our lives. He was its heart and soul as well. He was our voice against unfairness and injustice, and he showed us that the only way we could win was through love. I cried almost as much as I sang throughout this concert and not because the mood was sad but because David’s passing reminds us that he and others like him are not immortal but due to his courage and willingness to express the truth, his contributions will forever live on!
That's what our generation felt with all the crap going on.
David was heart and soul, full of love.
We all need to be.
Venice you boys are supernatural like C. S. N & Y..
Greetings from Guayaquil Ecuador western South America..
David will remind in our hearts forever, among Dewey and Gerry what a nice surprise 😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️🎁🎁🎁🎁👏👏👏👌👌👌
What a voice! He's 70 yrs old! Even McCartney will be amazed.
I just came upon this amazing video. What a gift this is. Thank you Venice for providing it for us. Great engineering in every way. I'm shedding tears of joy to be able to hear the music of my youth in such grand detail, and remembering the great contribution of David Crosby to making a legendary musical band. RIP David.
He was a great musician and a great human being. He is missed.
Why did Graham Nash reject him and treat him so meanly?
OMG!!!WHAT A GIFT!!!!Croz you miss too much but your music will survive 4ever!! Thanks Venice for sharing, a big hug from Italy
Towards the end, put 7 men together in a room and watch and hear and feel magic happening. Let men be men and women be women. Lets not imitate but be genuine and be creative. That last song was, is and will remain forever monumental. It vibrates through my spine each time I hear it. Its the pinnacle of their legacy. Saw CSN once in Montreux. They kept playing. From 8 pm until midnight. Just unbelievable. It was like standing on the Matterhorn and taking in awe. Mind blowing.
Outstanding .... thank you Venice
"Guinnevere" is such a beautiful, hypnotic song...these Santa Monica kids had me at the opening, really well done - I'm sure it's not an easy piece for a band to play. David's best composition, by far.
This was pure, unadulterated magic.
The band was fabulous, the kids were brilliant, and the all vocals simply ethereal.
WOW. Six out of five stars. 💙
This made me smile bigger than I have in a year of being ill so glad these young people are getting to know what we know. Thank you so much!
RIP David. Can’t wait to see you again someday.
This outstanding music will Carry On 4ever ...superb
Fantastic performances! OMG! Thank you so much! Cried my eyes out- Peace and love David, thank you for your voice.
I cried too, and I cry just thinking aBOUT HIS VOICE rip
And me 😭
Amen brother, I feel ya!
Hats off to Venice. Awesome musicians and vocals. David a real treasure in music .
I really appreciate the attention to the detail of the original recordings. Usually, performers try to distinguish their performances from the originals. For example, the guitarists are genuinely trying to recreate Stills' guitar parts, and they do a great job.
They are my favorite...from the early hippie days in the 60's.....to now as i am an old old hippie... Legends.....❤❤❤
Oh my God. There are no words to describe how wonderful this video is. Thank you.
All of us out here feel the same way. Tears flowing.
Thank you so very very much for posting this. I have seen the version of Ohio but never this complete sad. I truly feel like I’ve lost a brother and friend and such an important musical voice and political voice and someone’s so human with the loss of David.Many blessings
This show is so good... the songs, ( of course ) the audio mix, the video coverage, and the editing are all TOP NOTCH... PLEASE keep this video available on TH-cam for years to come... I refer back to it often to see David and all the band members, and to hear that choir sing, especially on the song "Carry On"... Thank you Venice The Band and all the people who participated and contributed to putting this very high-quality performance together for us, out here in TH-cam land...
thank you to David, Stephen, Graham, and Neil for so many wonderful songs... God bless all... and yes, David is missed very much...
Incredible. Greetings from Germany. Music keeps us strong.
Ja das war Alles Gute Musik
Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young hold very special memories for me. I enlisted the summer of 79 prior to my 19th birthday. After basics I was sent to Ft Benning then deployed to Western Europe. I was in a very high profile military operation and being a newcomer my platoon leader invited me and several others to a jamming session in his room. Mostly he played CSNY. So with that being said and I am now 63 so 41 years later and because of the memories and listening now to his I’m really tearing up crying because so much happened in my life back then
That's a great story KENNY SMITH . And I convey my respect to you for you service. I am ALLSO from JERSEY. MORRISTOWN, AND BRICK , GROWING UP. TAKE CARE
Thanks for your service my brother...GOD Bless.
* WOW * Absolutely Fantastic. Thanks to ever posted. Venice is really GOoD. rip David and thanks GOD bless you, this high school and America, in JESUS name
"A fitting tribute to David" - and then some. It is exquisite. The 'Carry on' in particular. Thank you. And again - my heartfelt condolences on the passing of a great man.
What fantastic, incredible clear harmony, and we will miss you David! Rest in Peace, and thanks for your music!🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼🎵🎤🎧🎸🎹
My hometown was Venice Beach. 20 years of memories
David and Venice - phenomenal. And America!!!!!!❤That’s one hell of a high school recital!
Aah! This is a really lovely version of Wooden Ships! What a marvelous show. Thanks for sharing it with us. ❤
I keep leaving comments as this video keeps getting better as it plays, what a climax!!!! Long live Davids music.
There is a brilliant star in heaven where he sprinkles on earth.
Good job David Crosby your music lives on!
This is great. You cannot go wrong with David Crosby. Thanks for preserving this.
What a gift this is. David Crosby at his most beautiful... ever. Thank you, Venice, and thank you, SMED Foundation.
To paint an image with words and music is the Divine in action. David was human with all its struggles but his heart was always open to the Divine ♥️♥️ watch over us crazy humans David, you are home with a job well done💔❤️
Holy cow. That was incredible. Crying my eyes out here. 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so much for uploading this!!!
same ☮
Venice do so much for the local area. I first saw them at the Canyon Charter School doing a charity event which included David Crosby and others many years ago. Have seen Venice and CSN several times since them. Love their sound RIP David. Best wishes from Scotland
WOW!!! My musical love for David and Venice knows no bounds. This was a joyous treat. Thank you, David, for all the music.
He was a great human being…..that is why you should never judge, in the end, that is all that matters, God knows your heart
Amazing group of musicians, including all those HS Students exhibiting their talents in the 'Choir', as well as all the 'Instrumentalists'😲 'Ohio' always brings tears to my eyes, especially since our son graduated from Kent State, as well as us living in Ohio for 10yrs. Never get tired of listening to 'David Crosby'; he truly was one of the 'Best Musicians' of our generation🙏
BTW-whoever 'produced' this TH-cam video did an 'Excellent Job'. Not only did they provide a 'brief description', but also 'Credited' everyone who participated in this concert, including those 'behind the scenes'. Also loved them adding 'video captions' for each song being played☺
This is just gorgeous. I've probably watched the previously uploaded video of "Ohio" three dozen times because it just blows me away. To watch this six-song (plus bonus "track") is nothing short of magical. Crosby was one helluva guy. It's not that they broke the mold after they made him, it's that there was no mold; he was made freehand. Thanks to Venice and all those responsible for getting this out there.
Love to you all.
(And just one side-note: Try watching this keeping an eye, whenever possible, on the young woman playing violin to the immediate right of the drumkit. Her enthusiasm is positively infectious.)
FANTASTIC! INCREDIBLE SANTA MONICA HIGH SCHOOL under the Direction of the PHENOMENAL TALENT of DAVID CROSBY! RIP May GOD BLESS HIM for the GIFT he gave these High School Students which they will remember FOREVER!!
Wow, This Whole Show Was Breath Taking ! Every One Did Such A Fabulous Job In Celebrating Davids Works ! May He Rest In Heavenly Peace,
I saw Venice twice in Holland. Their voices are always spot on - with great songs of their own. In this setting however, with David Crosby and some of the famous CSN songs, they thrive as well in singing as handling their instruments. What a wonderful performance!
Oh lord this is great! I'm so happy I lost my way somewhere and got me here. And I'm not gonna leave for a long time coming.
A brilliant tribute to David & hard not to smile watching the joy of these magnificently talented musicians!
The backstage bonus was amazing as well ❤
Croz❤..thank you for being a part of my life n putting your beautiful voice and story telling in it..😢 Rejoice..I know u have many to watch over up there but don't forget me brother ❤️🐾🧸love n peace ✌️🕊️
I watch/listen to this and realize how much Leo Fender was on that stage making this happen! Respects to David and this fine band of musicians and technicians
Top Notch Performance. Crosby's voice at his age was fantastic
What a great way to honour the legend that is David Crosby.
Thank you so much for all the hard work!
OMG what an incredible show. Crosby had one of the most original voices in Rock & Roll history and the entire crew here was phenomenal including the students
This is just what the Dr. ordered!!! Thank you for posting...Croz is one of my heroes and the entire production was fabulous!!!
Pat Lennon what a legend. Great sound with David!
Close harmony these sixty years or so ... unmatched !
Super awesome Crosby was iconic we all will miss him very much
RIP David ; you illuminated my 70’s youth with the album "4 way street" and more ❤.
Those music are way far beyond heaven ! CSN AND YOUNG pure legend !!!

Howsoever great these musicians are he is the heart of it! Their hero!
I keep finding this on my feed and enjoy it again and again. RIP Croz
So good. Underneath all the rich rightness was the bass! But ALL of it from intention through musical mastery to full expressed love for each song.
Great concert !!!! I know that somewhere up in heaven David is harmonizing with some angels and getting a band together ! R.I.P. David you are truly missed.
Brilliant, stunning, so grateful for the opportunity to see and hear this absolutely lovely performance!
Magic in the Music!
Wonderful!
How about that voice!!!! Wow! A great performance by everyone. Loved to have been there.
An Angel…
just great to know a new generation got involved and enjoy the old sound of crosby stills and nash today is saint patricks day 03,,17 2024 rest in peace david Crosby
Performing those songs live and sounding nearly perfectly like the studio versions is absolutely astonishing. I was mesmerized. I’m 72 and like many of David’s admirers I’ve been listening to his music since The Byrds. “Those were the days my friend…we hoped they’d never end” - I don’t know about you brothers and sisters but I was smiling during this entire video. Rest peacefully David…we love you. 🙏
What a guy. I wish my voice had stayed with me like his did. Also one of my favorite rhythm players. He had so many alternate tunings.
This is such an incredible treat.
Thank you all for supporting the arts.
The kids certainly appreciate your generosity as well.
Love, A former Saint Monica's Altarboy.
