That is not Jerry Garcia. It is David Crosby. Jerry played the pedal steel in many songs. Another beautiful, short song with beautiful harmonies is "Helplessly Hoping".

Amen and thank you for that comment. My daughter is in her first year of teaching :) She told me that her kids are already calling her Miss G & I teared up.
@@copperhopperwarren4788 Thank you so very much for that compliment and I WILL tell her, even when she was a kid & had friends over, she got out her chalkboard & had to play the teacher & she'd always say, "Mom, I need my teaching stick!" So I'd give her a chopstick. (A pointer) LOL
... and remember this song was written by a very young man, Graham Nash. He was 27 when he wrote and recorded it. He’s now 79. Good Lord. Don’t blink. Thank you for acknowledging great music!
@@natfoote4967 I see what you're saying, but really, the idea that children/young people have power in our society -- and politically -- is a fairly new one, and that's the angle I'm going for. We *have* to raise a more responsible and loving generation than the one before us, and damned if this latest generation of kids coming of age isn't showing us how crucial this is... and they are.
Absolutely, songs like this one, "Suite Judy Bue Eyes" and "Helplessly Hoping" that Jamal also reviews, are in the pantheon of popular music - precision singing, great voices, that complement each other so well and sweet song-writing
Wow. Out of NOWHERE. I'm not aware of my mom being a fan of these guys or this song in particular. But, singing along, I started crying in remembrance of her, as she died about 2 1/2 weeks ago. Thank you. I've had a hard time letting the tears out. My parents taught us well, but I didn't always listen.
I’m so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I can’t even begin to imagine. My mom is still here, but I feel like my world would stop when she leaves this world. I can’t imagine the pain, but the legacy our parents leave is so important and we carry on their memory and pass down what we’ve been taught by them to others. 💛
This song has me thinking about my parents and our relationship.Especially as a teenager and being ignorant,not knowing or caring about what they went through,the Great Depression,World War 2 and other things.I did grow up a little since then,but sometimes think,I could have been more thankful.
This is a song of reconciliation at a time when the "generation gap" was a thing as the young and old were divided by the Vietnam War (among other things).
I read something several years ago, I think it was a Grateful Dead history. When Jerry Garcia went back home after playing the pedal steel on this cut he told his bandmates that they had to work on singing more harmony in their music!
Their harmonizing always gives me chills! Listen to Helplessly Hoping. You won't be disappointed. I saw CSN with The Band in 86 or 87 and hands down the best concert of my life!
I loved this song when I was young. My kids are grown now and that second part of the song rings loud and clear to me now, when they sing to the children to feed their parents on their own dreams, to teach their parents well. It's such a two-way street. Amazing that Nash wrote this when he was young!
The song has been meaningful for my family and its message is always evolving as we grow. It goes back and forth. We learn from each other as we make our way through life. :-)
I requested this song for our Mother / Son dance at my son's wedding. I never stopped to listen to the lyrics till I was looking for a meaningful song. It truly is a two-way street with our children.
This song came out a decade or more before I had children and here my kids are now all grown. And I'm still sighing at the beauty and simplicity of this song.
Oh my God brother oh my God brother, yes I said it twice! I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am that I found your channel! I don’t know what to say brother I’m just so grateful to have found your channel it is beautiful you are beautiful thank you for critiquing the music at such total opposite directions and bringing it all together my brother!
I am so glad i found your channel. You are bringing me back .to memories of my childhood and more. Music really transcends all generations. Races. To me it brings me peace. We really need our new generation to educate themselves. With music and the arts. We might have a better world. Peace out. 😍
In the top 5 of groups for perfection in harmony. Amazing. Love that you are enjoying the music and lyrics that I grew up on. The music of the 60s and 70s influenced my life in a myriad of ways, both good and bad. But mostly good. Thanks Jamel.
I'm 62 an both my parents have passed away this song, ever since it came out has always touched my heart. Now I have children and this song still has meaning and always touches my heart ❤ Love peace and harmony 💕
C, S, N, & Y David Crosby, Steven Stills, Graham Nash, Neil Young Saw them in Seattle at Arena..... Long time ago.... Still some of the best pure harmony.... Great review.... Relevant subject more than ever!!
Even better is “ Laurel Canyon” on Epix TV. It’s four solid hours of music and commentary by the artists. No Jakob Dylan showcasing himself with performances by so so singers.
@@TheDivayenta yes! Echo in the Canyon completely shortchanged the women of the time. Like, if you don't have Cass Elliot, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, Gail Zappa, Linda Ronstadt, Carole King, you don't have Laurel Canyon music. “Ladies of the Canyon" is crucial, both as an album and a concept!
It’s great to see you truly appreciate awesome music. You consistently select incredible pieces that have become iconic treasures of American music, history and culture.
58 yr w/guy here. U as my beloved Aunt used to say, are the salt-of-the-earth my freind. So genuine. Propsbro n muchluv from Daytona Beach. ExSgt.USAF gr8 tune right ??
what version...the studio, the first live on 4 Way Street, or the kick-ass live at Wembley Stadium 1974...Tour of Excess? (should warn that "harmonies" were kind of off that night...Nash screaming...legend has it he was replying to those that were pissed because he left the Hollies. Kind of a flying middle finger.)
I love watching you react to music (it makes me smile).... especially the feeling parts of music ("and know they love you"). I think it shows that you're a good man and a good example to young men that it's okay to feel and to show it.
Thanks for playing this song Jamal. CSN&Y converted my mom to hippie music. It took my dad a lot longer. She bought me their fist album and absolutely loved this song. I always think of her when I hear it (often with a nostalgic tear or two). Your reaction is spot on and captures one of the basic tenants of the hippie movement. Funny you dig the Dead so much. I saw them 26 times from 69 - 73 including our man Jerry play pedal steel for the New Riders of the Purple Sage in Boston. We went in at sunset and came out at sunrise. What a trip.
Hey man, you are playing all these beautiful songs from my youth, thank you. Feel like I'm getting to know you through these videos, and I like what I see and hear.

So sorry for your loss.Mothers are so selfless,and love their children more than themselves.When I was a teenager I took my mom for granted.When I became a mom myself,I realized what an angel she is,and I treasure her unconditional love❣Thank God for every good memory of her,and even though she is passed,tell her what she means to you.I believe our loved ones can still hear us.💞
love your interpretation of the song and of parenting. Hits me right in the heart as a single mother of a 20-year old. He's a wonderful, beautiful man who is honorable, truthful, and lovely--even when he's being a total poop head, which is only natural. Not a day goes by that I pray I did right by him and will continue to, although my own life has been wrought with a lot of experiences he faced too young But so did I, as a child. Lead in the right direction--thanks Jamel.
My older brother's band, called "Logan Spur" played this song all the time, and, they did a great job, if I do say so myself! LOL I have loved this song all my life!
The line up in the photo, from left to right is: Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, David Crosby and Neil Young. Some of the best harmony and best messages of the age. In the very heart of "my era." Jerry must be sitting behind them, though I believe this is a studio recording.
Our House and Suite: Judy Blue Eyes by CSN&Y. One of my favorite concert moments was singing "Our House" with them - where the audience did most of the singing.
This band is what happens when 3 friends get together and harmonize well. They members of The Hollies, The Byrds, & Buffalo Springfield and are the first band to use their names as a band name.
Thank you for the reaction and the song and you are right about the kids I wish that I would have listened to my parents more when I was younger your parents will never tell you anything to hurt you they'll always tell you what's true and what you need to do because they love you thank you,
I've been listening to this song for what, forty years? Makes me weep every time... 💔 You just want the best for your kids... just like YOUR parents wanted for YOU.
This song was such an Anthem in the 1960s, when there was so much division between the older generation and the young. This song speaks to the fact that we cannot possibly understand what shaped our elders, nor they what's driving their kids to be the people they will be, you don't have to get it, just love them and it will be alright.
Thank you for great video. The last concert I seen Crosby, Nash and Young. Was song Southern Cross. Love your videos keeping great music for all of to hear.
Every time I hear this song, I think about my high school graduation in 1972. All of the graduating seniors stood up and sang this song! RIP, David, Crosby, and thank you.
Sang it with my buddies around campfires many times 💙 brings back som fond memories of my youth .. it’s great to see new folks hearing and appreciating the music of the 60s & seventies 💙🎶🎶 great work brother enjoy your journey🎶🎶🎶
CSN used to play in Hawaii just about every year back in the 1980s. I got to see them many times at the Waikiki Shell, always a beautiful show at a beautiful venue. It's a shame that they will probably never play together again. During these tough and trying times it would be so nice if we could all just get along. Life is too damn short!
I sang this song in an a capella group in college. One of the funnest, most surprisingly touching songs I’ve ever sung. Something about the harmonies with the lyrics together just hit the sweet spot. I think I like it more without instruments. The vocal harmonies are plenty!
Was in the band with David Crosby during his prison stint in Texas. One of my fondest memories is our playing this tune before the entire prison population (captive audience for real) on the Yard and hearing all these hardened Convicts sing along to the chorus. David was a piece of work!
Thank you for this song. It's a great familiar song. My heart is sad tonight, and I can't sleep. My sister died suddenly today on her sixty-sixth birthday. I'm just trying to process it. I know she is with Jesus now. We will have to wait for our reunion at Jesus' feet. Thank you brother for sharing your love with me.😐❤❤❤
A really great song with Jerry taking the Pedal Steel for a ride into outta space on the song "Dirty Business" on the New Riders of the Purple Sage self-titled album..The whole album is great.
Saw Crosby Stills and Nash way back when.. after a few tunes they turned on the house lights and it turned into a singalong with 18000 people.. great tunes
Lyrics: [Verse 1] You, who are on the road Must have a code That you can live by And so Become yourself Because the past Is just a good-bye [Chorus] Teach your children well Your father's hell did slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they picked The one you'll know by [Post-Chorus] Don't you ever ask them why If they told you, you would cry So just look at them and sigh And know they love you [Verse 2] And you of tender years (Can you hear and do you care) Can't know the fears (And can you see) That your elders grew by (We must be free) And so please help (To teach your children) Them with your youth (What you believe in) They seek the truth (Make a world) Before they can die (That we can live in) [Chorus] Teach your parents well The children's hell Will slowly go by And feed them on your dreams The one they picked The one you'll know by [Post-Chorus] Don't you ever ask them why If they told you, you would cry So just look at them and sigh And know they love you

That is not Jerry Garcia. It is David Crosby. Jerry played the pedal steel in many songs. Another beautiful, short song with beautiful harmonies is "Helplessly Hoping".
OH YES. instant fave -- INSTANT FAVE. love it whenever you do CSN or CSNY. love it, love it. thank you so much!
Jerry Garcia is playing the Steel Guitar intro., but L-R. Stills, Nash, Crosby, Young
@@jinglebe11rainbow37 David Crosby consumed more drugs than all of the members of the Grateful Dead combined.
@Ponyboy Curtis You learned something new.
The one you are thinking is Jerry Garcia is actually David Crosby.
I believe they are interchangeable
Interesting Garcia, Stills , Nash and Young
@@paulnoon2910 😂🤣😂🤣
@Jesus Saves My Soul I had no idea! Thanks.
Jerry Garcia was learning to play the pedal steel and sat in on this recording, it is widely known.
The world needs more of this music right now.

The message in this song is timeless. Still relevant 50 years later.
Thats actually David Crosby BUT jerry Garcia did play the pedal steel in the recording
Got it
Forgot that. Thanks
Talk about wattage in CSNY & G
I never knew Jerry was on this. But I was just thinking I've always loved the pedal steel on this song. So thanks for the info.
The harmonies and lyrics in this iconic song are fantastic but I think its Garcia's awesome pedal steel playing that really carry it to another level.
... and remember this song was written by a very young man, Graham Nash. He was 27 when he wrote and recorded it. He’s now 79. Good Lord. Don’t blink. Thank you for acknowledging great music!
👍✌
Our House is another great song by Crosby, stills, Nash, and young
Agreed. I go back and forth between these two about which is their best song.
@Dania Ann definitely! I love them. I grew up on them and my parents took me to see them for my first concert when I was in fifth grade.
"Our House"......wow....even at 35 years old there are lots of memories to this song...
It's not like it's a ling list; they only made the one album. 😄
Our house is a very very very fine house
This is one of the only songs that makes me cry every time. Always has. Thanks for the great memory.
I think this song has made anyone who has heard this smile.
And/or cry
It's still relevant. Almost too relevant.
@@DS-uh6ss It would have been just as relevant in the 1600s, in the 100s. A loving household is universal and timeless.

@@DS-uh6ss My bad. I was thinking about his reaction to "Our House" which I also listened to today.
CSN&Y had some of the best harmonies in Rock & Roll history.
No doubt!!!

It's tough losing a parent. It breaks your heart. I wish you well
Watch out, Jamel. These reactions are turning you into a hippie. ps. It's a worthwhile journey. We tried really hard to set good things in motion.
it paid off maam........from another hippy chicks 46 year old son....now showing his son the love he learned from that culture Peace from PA
And you did, saved a 90s kid born in the wrong generation to say the least.
So grateful I was born in 1950, and came of age looking through the rose-colored hippie lens.
Some of us never quit being hippies.
@@jonhelmstadter2870 To the grave as a hippie.
Theses are the people who helped build this nation and they are disappearing quicker every day but it's nice to hear people who still appreciate them
My Grandmother only listened to Country music until I introduced her to this song when I was a teenager. She made me play it over and over.
"Know they love you". That's really the best thing to remember, parents to children, children to parents..
This song has me thinking about my parents and our relationship.Especially as a teenager and being ignorant,not knowing or caring about what they went through,the Great Depression,World War 2 and other things.I did grow up a little since then,but sometimes think,I could have been more thankful.
From left to right: Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, David Crosby, Neil Young
Susan Already got it! I was yelling it at my screen
That is correct.
You might mistake Jerry and older David Crosby. But very diff men. This song always bring tears. Deep memories.
Coincidentally, Garcia did play pedal steel on this, but he isn't in the picture 😆
SNCY
This is a song of reconciliation at a time when the "generation gap" was a thing as the young and old were divided by the Vietnam War (among other things).
And now... the "gap" is Rep and Dem
I read something several years ago, I think it was a Grateful Dead history. When Jerry Garcia went back home after playing the pedal steel on this cut he told his bandmates that they had to work on singing more harmony in their music!

Jamel, I LOVE watching you FEEL the music. it makes me remember when i would hear these song for the first time...
Same here ! I was there 😁🗿✌
I like at the intro your like “oh, hell no, what they got me listening to,” then when harmonies kick, that smile we love.
This music is so much a product of the time, yet continues to resonate. Timeless and classic.
Cheerful, happy tune. Listened to this song many times in my 58 years! Brings back good times.

This song is so deep and meaningful. It's about something real, something important. No mention of booties or btiches......just musical poetry
Hey man there’s nothing wrong with appreciating a nice rump
No need to bring down other music you think sucks in comparison. Just appreciate this for what it is.
@@harrisonnelms2580 yeah well that music isn't teaching your children much of anything other than how to be a pimp or a hoe
Their harmony is an instrument in itself
I got chills running down my spine the first time I heard this, and after all these many, many years, it still makes chills run down my spine.
This was such an important song in my youth. Thank you for sharing it.
Absolutely. Incredible on so many levels at the same time
Interestingly enough that's not Jerry Garcia in the photo, but that IS him playing lead pedal steel guitar on the record!!!
Great knowledge! TY! Was he on the entire album?
Sorry, I believe you answered my ? In your comment!
I had the pleasure of seeing Graham Nash just pre-covid, in a very small venue. It was awesome! Seen Neil solo many times. As well as Jerry

Also his beautiful Ode to a Flame will make Jamel cry!
Also, Isley Brothers did a great cover of this song!

Our house & suite just blue eyes are two great songs by them. Harmony and guitar outstanding
Three MUSTS: "Just a Song Before I Go," "Wasted on the Way," and "Marrakesh Express." You will be glad you reacted to each one.
The perfect follow up to this song is “ Father snd Son” by Cat Stevens.
Or Cats in Cradle by Harry Chapin!
Or The Living Years by Mike and The Mechanics
Are we setting up a ’drive yourself to tears playlist’? 😂
C'mon, any song off of teaser and the fire cat and tea for the tillerman will completely satisfy both works of art

The line up in the photo, from left to right is: Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, David Crosby and Neil Young. Some of the best harmony and best messages of the age. In the very heart of "my era." Jerry must be sitting behind them, though I believe this is a studio recording.
Our House and Suite: Judy Blue Eyes by CSN&Y. One of my favorite concert moments was singing "Our House" with them - where the audience did most of the singing.

Spectacular group, great song. Thank you sir for another great review. I don’t think they ever did a bad performance.
This band is what happens when 3 friends get together and harmonize well. They members of The Hollies, The Byrds, & Buffalo Springfield and are the first band to use their names as a band name.
Thank you for the reaction and the song and you are right about the kids I wish that I would have listened to my parents more when I was younger your parents will never tell you anything to hurt you they'll always tell you what's true and what you need to do because they love you thank you,
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.
Amen!
~ Proverb 22:6 💖
I've been listening to this song for what, forty years? Makes me weep every time... 💔 You just want the best for your kids... just like YOUR parents wanted for YOU.
for good or bad
That's what is wrong with the world today.
My favorite quartet... Crosby, Stills, Garcia and Nash...!!!
This song was such an Anthem in the 1960s, when there was so much division between the older generation and the young. This song speaks to the fact that we cannot possibly understand what shaped our elders, nor they what's driving their kids to be the people they will be, you don't have to get it, just love them and it will be alright.
Thank you for great video. The last concert I seen Crosby, Nash and Young. Was song Southern Cross. Love your videos keeping great music for all of to hear.
I saw them live at Madison Square Garden in 2000! Man they were soo good!
I was there.....great show!
Every time I hear this song, I think about my high school graduation in 1972. All of the graduating seniors stood up and sang this song! RIP, David, Crosby, and thank you.
Has any generation been different? All "we" have is time and each other. Love to everyone.
Back at you
Sang it with my buddies around campfires many times 💙 brings back som fond memories of my youth .. it’s great to see new folks hearing and appreciating the music of the 60s & seventies 💙🎶🎶 great work brother enjoy your journey🎶🎶🎶
Even tho it’s not him in the pic, Omg I just love that you now know who Jerry Garcia is. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤🤍🤎
It's not him in the pic but it is Jerry G on pedal steel guitar.
haha, i see next commenter says the same.
CSN used to play in Hawaii just about every year back in the 1980s. I got to see them many times at the Waikiki Shell, always a beautiful show at a beautiful venue. It's a shame that they will probably never play together again. During these tough and trying times it would be so nice if we could all just get along. Life is too damn short!
The reversal of the chorus the second time around is my favorite part.
I sang this song in an a capella group in college. One of the funnest, most surprisingly touching songs I’ve ever sung. Something about the harmonies with the lyrics together just hit the sweet spot. I think I like it more without instruments. The vocal harmonies are plenty!
Wanna hear them harmonize? Do "Helplessly Hoping" goosebump city!
Was in the band with David Crosby during his prison stint in Texas. One of my fondest memories is our playing this tune before the entire prison population (captive audience for real) on the Yard and hearing all these hardened Convicts sing along to the chorus. David was a piece of work!
Thank you for this song. It's a great familiar song. My heart is sad tonight, and I can't sleep. My sister died suddenly today on her sixty-sixth birthday. I'm just trying to process it. I know she is with Jesus now. We will have to wait for our reunion at Jesus' feet. Thank you brother for sharing your love with me.😐❤❤❤
So sorry for your loss. Praying for your strength.
God bless you with His peace
Such beautiful music! Wonderful choice!!
A really great song with Jerry taking the Pedal Steel for a ride into outta space on the song "Dirty Business" on the New Riders of the Purple Sage self-titled album..The whole album is great.
Saw Crosby Stills and Nash way back when.. after a few tunes they turned on the house lights and it turned into a singalong with 18000 people.. great tunes
If you like the harmonies in this one, you will love Guinevere.
Absolutely a song i feel got lost in all greatness of their other songs
Absolutely my favorite, hands down. Beautiful & haunting.
Beautiful song
Thank you Jamal because it's one of my favorites and I think of my mother with this song because she taught me well
" The children are the future... Unless we stop them now". - Homer Simpson
😅😂🤣😆
Smooth harmonies and great lyrics that still matter. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young are classic songwriters from the time. Thankd Jamel.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
You, who are on the road
Must have a code
That you can live by
And so
Become yourself
Because the past
Is just a good-bye
[Chorus]
Teach your children well
Your father's hell did slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked
The one you'll know by
[Post-Chorus]
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
[Verse 2]
And you of tender years (Can you hear and do you care)
Can't know the fears (And can you see)
That your elders grew by (We must be free)
And so please help (To teach your children)
Them with your youth (What you believe in)
They seek the truth (Make a world)
Before they can die (That we can live in)
[Chorus]
Teach your parents well
The children's hell
Will slowly go by
And feed them on your dreams
The one they picked
The one you'll know by
[Post-Chorus]
Don't you ever ask them why
If they told you, you would cry
So just look at them and sigh
And know they love you
Thank you! I didn't know all the lyrics.
Ok in the 2nd verse just read what is in the parentheses very profound.
