Im almost 53. All i listened to when I was twenty was this. Classic rock. And it sucked because i wasnt there and i was always fantasizing wishing i was there. But ya know of course the songs live on. Thank God for recording
Music is still great...you just dropped out. It is an arguable point that Young was the worst thing that happened to Crosby, Stills, and Nash. He could write a damn song....but his voice was finger nails on a chalk board.
@@xzysyndrome Matter of opinion. I suspect you're missing the bigger picture. Or maybe you just don't like his voice... in which case, listen to something else.
During a break in the taping, a technician of some sort came into the studio and told Neil that he needed to turn down the sound, as it was leaking into another studio. Neill nodded his consent, but the minute that fellow left the studio Neil , with a dramatic gesture, turned up the volume on his amp - to applause and cheers by the small attending audience....
I was just thinking about this performance yesterday and thought to myself “it’s so incredible these legends still walk the Earth in 2023” but sadly David Crosby has passed at 81 today 1/19/23. Play on brother
Neil young is such a great guitar player with his unique style. When you hear it in context of another great guitar player you realize just how great he truly was.
@Annah Shoffner..I was just thinking the same thing, it certainly has made me realize how very short life is…when I hear these songs they take me back to those wonderful times. I thought that I would live forever. So bittersweet. May you RIP David Crosby, thank you being such an important part of my life. 🙏🏻😢❤️
@@davidborrelli1081 yes I know about them Both passing away within days of each other as well as Lisa Marie Presley 🥺. I remember the day she was born she was the honeymoon baby. I was 9 when she was born.
Well you only saw it very rarely. Shows like this were very few and far between. It was all old people's programming. This would have been a big occasion.
Zay Ogden ~ Well... that isn't quite true. It wasn't so rare, and not all programs were aimed at "old people", whatever that means. People over 35? Television producers were quickly waking up to the youth market. With rock taking off in a big way, there was many variety shows at the time, mid 60s to early 70s that regularly featured a rock and/or pop act on the bill. Of course there was American Bandstand, Shindig, Hullabaloo, which were entirely music. There was the weekly Ed Sullivan show, The Andy Williams show, Dick Cavett, The Dean Martin show, Hollywood Palace, Smothers Brothers, The Johnny Cash Show, Mike Douglas, Glen Campbell's Goodtime Hour, The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, This Is Tom Jones, The Flip Wilson show, all of which had a music segment. Starting in '73 there was The Midnight Special, and Don Kirshner's Rock Concert. Again nothing but music. So there you have it!
Amen to that…Steven was too much the perfectionist for my taste, even though, admittedly, that spirit helped him make Suite: Judy Blue Eyes the timeless masterpiece it always was and still is. The raw, ragged Neil on electric has the same rock spirit that drives Keith Richards and that combined with the talent of Stills made for some of the best R&R. Steve needed Neils energy to push him to be the best and Neil needed the competitive edge to push him.
They were so different style wise but man it worked. With Young’s playing you never knew where he was going. It didn’t matter though. His/their songs were amazing. There is an interview out there where Graham Nash talks about them writing over a thousand songs between them. He then quips that Neil wrote 700 of them. It was something like that. Pretty funny. Great memories as a child of the 60’s/70’s. Alas, now I’m just old.
both of them felt the exact same way about each other and their playing together, and that's why they kept getting back together again and again over the decades despite very different temperaments.
@@pkoven And it was the same with Crosby and Nash. They had the best voices in the group; and in spite of whatever disagreements they had, they continued to sing together through the years.
I grew up in a tiny village in rural Pennsylvania in the 60s and 70s. I remember playing the Neil Young and Crazy Horse version of this song on a little Sears record player while putting on my baseball uniform. CSNY and the other bands of the time opened my eyes to a bigger world and I'm forever grateful for it.
It was indeed a magical time. The first on-stage video-projected concert I ever attended was in 1969 or 70 with these guys at the stadium in Oakland. I'm still not over it.
Lucky that we can revisit on You Tube. Their music has saved me during this virus. Hope everyone is safe and well during Covid19 2020. One thing for sure..... I’ll never forget 2020.
The man introducing the band is comedian & occassional TV host David Steinberg, an alum of Second City. Some online searching identifies this show as Music Scene, which aired on ABC 1969-1970. What an impossibly fabulous time capsule. I have loved Neil Young & Steven Stills forever. They are magic here. Thank you so much for posting.
This is a great song. I remember cruising in my 68 stang by myself smoking a doob and just listing to a great tune. What great days. Songs like this live forever
68 Mustang coupe 289 3 on the floor and jamming to all that was new and vibrant everyday. And Buffalo Springfield birthed: CSNY, Loggins & Messina, Poco, The Eagles....it doesn’t get any better than those deep roots👍🏼👍🏼😎
What I love about this is that Stills and Young are such different guitarists, and yet somehow, that shared riffing they do is just brilliant. They really do have some sort of mental connection.
Really? I’ve come to think they they had a similar style. It’s that raw, loose, unrefined style that is so cool and great for rock. There are parts I’ve heard that I always thought Young played, but since TH-cam, I’ve found Stills playing them.
1970 was the year I saw them in Chicago. I was a 16 yr old suburban kid at this huge concert with a friend downtown all alone. Thank God my parents let me go!
You must be a Millennial. "I don't care how old that is?"Really? Actually, the fact that it's OLD is a good sign it's fucking ten times as good as whatever shit passes for good today. Fact!
Crosby was a really good harmony singer. Music was the only thing he was serious about. Dope and ego ruined him but his musical contributions cannot be discounted. And yeah,Stills and Young bouncing ideas back and forth was pure magic.... @@paulwouters2025
I'm 72 and this may be the first time I have seen this performance. Loved the song then and now. The only way this could have been better would be if it had lasted an additional 10-15 minutes. Steven and Neil at their best!!! Love those big hollow body electric guitars!
Just think about how subversive it was, for 1970, to turn on a network television show and see a bunch of hippies singing a song like "Down by the River". That would have been inconceivable just a few short years before. But CSNY helped kick open a lot of doors, and things we take for granted now are because of pioneers like them who knocked down the old barriers.
Give ABC some credit too, they took a chance putting this on network TV, reasoning that it would be on in the summer when the other networks would be showing re-runs so what did they have to lose?
The days when I could go out on the highway with a backpack, stick out my thumb, and strangers would pick me up, share a joint, go where fate took us, sleep under the stars and love the one you were with. Strangers meeting strangers were instant friends, there was a common culture. You could tell by the way people dressed who was part of it.
There were a few shows that had rock ‘n’ roll as good on them, but not many. Most of it was variety show crap. But this one was exceptional, as was Tom Jones and Johnny Cash. And they all had Crosby Stills Nash and Young on. Tom Jones had some amazing people like Janis Joplin as well. And Johnny Cash would have people like Linda Ronstadt and Joni Mitchell. The best talents always want to be surrounded by the best talents.
We lost one of the very best guitarists , singer , songwriters , to ever grace a stage....From The Byrds to Crosby , Stills , Nash , and Young , David was a huge part of the two groups and the Rebellion generation sound....A musical Genius and Legend.....He will be forever missed and remembered.....🎤🎸✌️🔥💪👊🙏
Wow!! The only rock band with a name of a Law Firm that make us request more of their stuff in every court room!!... and yes your Honours i confess i'm one of their truly associates... kudos from Guadalajara, México ✌😎
I saw them at the Nassau Coliseum a few years after this when I was 16 or so. Always loved them together, in other combinations, and individually as well. Nice sideburns on these guys!
I like how the host introduced Dallas Taylor with the band in the beginning. That was thoughtful. His drumming on the first album with the group is stellar and easily overlooked with all that is going on there but if you pay attention he really is a very dynamic percussionist and grooves through all those numbers with great flair and creativity and still finds a way to wail away without being overbearing...no wonder Stills recruited him for their band. Geniuses recognizes each other!
YEAh! They were SO great together,,,called a power group for a reason right? Thanks David Steinberg. Lucky guy got to meet them live and in person. Cool.
When I was 19 I played this in a talent show. I was runner up to my friend Mr. David Langley:which won 1st.place singing "Up on cripple creek"he is long time gone now but I will always remember him as a great man and a good friend!Good bye David Langley!
I remember this episode of "The Music Scene" What a killer performance by one of the greatest bands ever! Love the way Stephen and Neil play off each other. Thanx for the memories
Sharon Ramone Omg it reminds me of how Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page used to feed off each other together in The Yardbirds with 2 Huge Hits: Happenings Ten Years Time Ago and Stroll On (1966).
Well you never see this on top 40 or rarely on you tube cause most "requesters" for reviews just want acoustic crap like from Harvest or other acoustic stuff never the good stuff
So that's where this happened, on the short-lived musical show "The Music Scene," hosted by David Steinberg. Could someone tell me where I can re-live all of the episodes of The Music Scene ... all 17 of them!
Our music in the 70’s Stills and Young are masters of the time. ✌🏼…Old Man, Southern Man, Cinnamon Girl, on and on. Era of the best music and pro formers that was made from 1966-76.
I'm 60 and Steely Dan were one of my favourites as a young teen. It's hilarious to read the comments about these guy's looks - we didn't care how musicians looked - we cared about their music and what they had to say! That is one of the huge difference with today's performers - it's far more about how they look first and foremost and who cares whether they can sing, play multiple instruments or whether they have anything important to say. There's obviously exceptions to that rule these days but not too many.
I can't say I've ever seen a live studio performance like that. I'd even put it above Jimi Hendrix on the Lulu show back in the late sixties. Absolutely incredible. Well done to whoever put this on the net.✌️
Funny thing watching this-Stills actually dressed that way IRL. He used to frequent the old gold boom town bars in the mountains above Boulder. You would see his Land Rover around the area. I remember one late Winter night some friends and I were up in Gold Hill when This guy looking like someone out of central casting playing a hippie stumbled into the Gold Hill Saloon/Inn wearing a very similar blanket poncho and a leather hat pulled almost down to his eyes and proceeded to set up on the stage area. He seemed to be fairly buzzed, fumbled around for a bit with a guitar then launched into this incredible impromptu performance. That night about 15-20 crazy/hardy souls (I say that because no transplanted flatlander with any sense would be out in a mild snow storm in the mountains like was going on that night) got a free concert by Stephen Stills. We heard "love the One You're With", a version of "Black Queen" (this was like 6-8 months before the album was released) I've not heard since, some Springfield stuff like "Bluebird"-I'll never forget it.
@@RobotMillionaire Yep, Boulder Colorado-lived there from June 1969 to December 1972. Boulder was the place to be for music unless you lived in CA. Many of 1960s-70s rock's stars lived in the mountains around that town and then there were the two homegrown bands-Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids and Zephyr featuring Tommy Bolin and a really talented singer named Candy Givens. Flash was more of a local sensation but was beginning to be noticed by the time I left Colorado. Both groups have music on here search them out and give a listen.
Having been there at the beginning of true progressive rock all eras. And being at Woodstock truely blew my mind and I haven't stopped listening. Seeing CSNY at Woodstock and seeing all those celestial dynamic rock truely put my mind at ease. There never was any music that come close to perfection then that era.
They Just sound so tight it's unbelievable....have seen CSNY 2X Live & CSN 1X Live.....All I can say is Amazing...I am so glad & grateful that I have gotten to see alot of the greatest R'n'R bands & Artists of All-time.....W/ This being One of them undoubtedly.

Young and Stills
I'm 72 and this may be the first time I have seen this performance. Loved the song then and now. The only way this could have been better would be if it had lasted an additional 10-15 minutes. Steven and Neil at their best!!! Love those big hollow body electric guitars!
No lip-syncing for these guys. Awesome
Real music...Pure and simple. No bullshit, no overdubs, no samples, no lip sync.
Young and Stills, long may you run..... Neil a legend
Hello 👋 kim
How I wish I could go back...
Yep....what an amazing time it was. It'll never come again.
love the back and forth guitar solos between young and stills
A guitar duet, and now we have guitar....wait we don't even have instruments :/
Just think about how subversive it was, for 1970, to turn on a network television show and see a bunch of hippies singing a song like "Down by the River". That would have been inconceivable just a few short years before. But CSNY helped kick open a lot of doors, and things we take for granted now are because of pioneers like them who knocked down the old barriers.
Give ABC some credit too, they took a chance putting this on network TV, reasoning that it would be on in the summer when the other networks would be showing re-runs so what did they have to lose?
It was not a Summer Show. It ran 17 episodes in Prime Time, starting in September, 1969. I had the pleasure of mixing the sound you're hearing.
Look up The Johnny Cash Show and all the hippies that he featured.
The days when I could go out on the highway with a backpack, stick out my thumb, and strangers would pick me up, share a joint, go where fate took us, sleep under the stars and love the one you were with. Strangers meeting strangers were instant friends, there was a common culture. You could tell by the way people dressed who was part of it.
There were a few shows that had rock ‘n’ roll as good on them, but not many. Most of it was variety show crap. But this one was exceptional, as was Tom Jones and Johnny Cash. And they all had Crosby Stills Nash and Young on. Tom Jones had some amazing people like Janis Joplin as well. And Johnny Cash would have people like Linda Ronstadt and Joni Mitchell. The best talents always want to be surrounded by the best talents.
David is having the time of his life there, smile on my face to see him, we'll all meet by that river one day, RIP.
Yes...he was in his prime and enjoying every second of it.
We lost one of the very best guitarists , singer , songwriters , to ever grace a stage....From The Byrds to Crosby , Stills , Nash , and Young , David was a huge part of the two groups and the Rebellion generation sound....A musical Genius and Legend.....He will be forever missed and remembered.....🎤🎸✌️🔥💪👊🙏
Wow!! The only rock band with a name of a Law Firm that make us request more of their stuff in every court room!!... and yes your Honours i confess i'm one of their truly associates... kudos from Guadalajara, México ✌😎
I've always thought that Emerson Lake and Palmer sounded like a bunch of lawyers.
Classic. NEVER goes out of style.
I saw them at the Nassau Coliseum a few years after this when I was 16 or so. Always loved them together, in other combinations, and individually as well. Nice sideburns on these guys!
I like how the host introduced Dallas Taylor with the band in the beginning. That was thoughtful. His drumming on the first album with the group is stellar and easily overlooked with all that is going on there but if you pay attention he really is a very dynamic percussionist and grooves through all those numbers with great flair and creativity and still finds a way to wail away without being overbearing...no wonder Stills recruited him for their band. Geniuses recognizes each other!
I think they insisted that Dallas & Greg Reeves always be credited. If you look at the Deja Vu cover they're listed prominently on the front
Dallas and Gregg were with them for 20 years
Except... the host did not mention Greg Reeves in this show. He was not mentioned.
Btw... that host is David Steinberg.
@@aBeatleFan4ever A very good comedian back in the day
YEAh! They were SO great together,,,called a power group for a reason right? Thanks David Steinberg. Lucky guy got to meet them live and in person. Cool.
What a magical time for music.
I was 10 yrs old 1970 and loved their music. Still do.
1970 was a banner year for rock 'n roll and CSNY was at their peak, and all looking sooooo good! Fantastic memories! 🎸🎸🎤🎼🌟🌟☄☄⚡️⚡️💥💥🔥✨💫
When I was 19 I played this in a talent show. I was runner up to my friend Mr. David Langley:which won 1st.place singing "Up on cripple creek"he is long time gone now but I will always remember him as a great man and a good friend!Good bye David Langley!
🙏🙏🙏✌✌✌Japie...
There’s this energy between stills and young , I can feel they’re soulmates
This is absolutely incredible
I remember this episode of "The Music Scene" What a killer performance by one of the greatest bands ever! Love the way Stephen and Neil play off each other. Thanx for the memories
Sharon Ramone Omg it reminds me of how Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page used to feed off each other together in The Yardbirds with 2 Huge Hits: Happenings Ten Years Time Ago and Stroll On (1966).
Well you never see this on top 40 or rarely on you tube cause most "requesters" for reviews just want acoustic crap like from Harvest or other acoustic stuff never the good stuff
@@jasonvenzor2630 nope this is way better
So that's where this happened, on the short-lived musical show "The Music Scene," hosted by David Steinberg. Could someone tell me where I can re-live all of the episodes of The Music Scene ... all 17 of them!
Our music in the 70’s Stills and Young are masters of the time. ✌🏼…Old Man, Southern Man, Cinnamon Girl, on and on. Era of the best music and pro formers that was made from 1966-76.
Remembering David Crosby (d. 2023). American singer, guitarist, and songwriter. Rock legend. No more problems.
It was so nice to see him in his prime in this video.
I'm 60 and Steely Dan were one of my favourites as a young teen. It's hilarious to read the comments about these guy's looks - we didn't care how musicians looked - we cared about their music and what they had to say! That is one of the huge difference with today's performers - it's far more about how they look first and foremost and who cares whether they can sing, play multiple instruments or whether they have anything important to say. There's obviously exceptions to that rule these days but not too many.
Whew! We all needed that.
The creative energy is palpable ...great
I can't say I've ever seen a live studio performance like that. I'd even put it above Jimi Hendrix on the Lulu show back in the late sixties. Absolutely incredible. Well done to whoever put this on the net.✌️
Stephen Stills, an underrated guitarist.
Nah, he's rated just about right: respected, but not revered.
Gretsch Guitars...straight up R & R beasts
Funny thing watching this-Stills actually dressed that way IRL. He used to frequent the old gold boom town bars in the mountains above Boulder. You would see his Land Rover around the area. I remember one late Winter night some friends and I were up in Gold Hill when This guy looking like someone out of central casting playing a hippie stumbled into the Gold Hill Saloon/Inn wearing a very similar blanket poncho and a leather hat pulled almost down to his eyes and proceeded to set up on the stage area. He seemed to be fairly buzzed, fumbled around for a bit with a guitar then launched into this incredible impromptu performance. That night about 15-20 crazy/hardy souls (I say that because no transplanted flatlander with any sense would be out in a mild snow storm in the mountains like was going on that night) got a free concert by Stephen Stills. We heard "love the One You're With", a version of "Black Queen" (this was like 6-8 months before the album was released) I've not heard since, some Springfield stuff like "Bluebird"-I'll never forget it.
Lou S Boulder, Colorado?
dam,,,thats fantastic!....BLACK QUEEN is freakin great!
@@RobotMillionaire Yep, Boulder Colorado-lived there from June 1969 to December 1972. Boulder was the place to be for music unless you lived in CA. Many of 1960s-70s rock's stars lived in the mountains around that town and then there were the two homegrown bands-Flash Cadillac and the Continental Kids and Zephyr featuring Tommy Bolin and a really talented singer named Candy Givens. Flash was more of a local sensation but was beginning to be noticed by the time I left Colorado. Both groups have music on here search them out and give a listen.
Lou S wow that’s cool. I am a senior at CU right now. Never knew the Stephen Stills used to wonder around here
Incredible memories from 60's! TY 73+CANCER fighter who saw them numerous times great FUN!!!
A unique masterpiece of the best real rock music!
In 1970, I was 65 years old. Now I am 124 and this music takes me back to great days....Nothing like it today.
Whippersnapper 😄
@@pch2230 Ha ha ha I haven't heard that for a while either....lol
Wow, the Sniffer-in-Chief 👃 could be your son! 🤡
Such beautiful harmonies. Rest In Peace David Crosby.
The world could sure use a Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young tour. Settle their differences and show a whole new generation their brilliance.
I was 14 at the time and it still sounds as fresh now as it then.
Same. The times, they have changed.
Having been there at the beginning of true progressive rock all eras. And being at Woodstock truely blew my mind and I haven't stopped listening. Seeing CSNY at Woodstock and seeing all those celestial dynamic rock truely put my mind at ease. There never was any music that come close to perfection then that era.
100% true!
so true boss I just hope rest of them have many more years ahead I really hope Neil & David were on better terms
@@tpstrato2270 I am afraid that ship has sailed, as David Crosby has left us just yesterday January 19, 2023.
ciertamente.
Oh man....there can't be anything better than this.....wow......
Yes, it's true!
The best. There just isn’t any music anymore. Tattoos, flames, smoke and mirrors, but no music.
Classic from 52 years ago. NO auto tune right.
One of my all-time fav, never fades and amazing skills for the four of them
They Just sound so tight it's unbelievable....have seen CSNY 2X Live & CSN 1X Live.....All I can say is Amazing...I am so glad & grateful that I have gotten to see alot of the greatest R'n'R bands & Artists of All-time.....W/ This being One of them undoubtedly.
This is great. What a great version of this song. I love "Down By The River" but this is amazing. They are really great together.
Niele Young’s voice is so Haunting & unmatched.
