    Todd in the Shadows sent me here. Maybe it's not their best album, but even during his review I could hear how incredibly catchy this song is. Can't stop listening to it.

      Yeah I think this is a solid track and at least sounds like what you'd expect out of CSNY, doesn't have overblown harmonies or anything. The rest of it just sounds half-baked or mishandled at best though just off what I heard in the review.

    I tried to explain this song to a couple of younger people the other day. I just couldn't make them understand. I had to see this again to show myself I really did remember this song this way. Glad it's here in 2024. Glad I'm here, too.

      Yeah, I heard live versions before American Dream. I did like NY’s contributions to the album, but I still don’t think they were his best. Just like on the next CSNY record, Looking Forward, Neil’s song were much better then the others. So much so, that his Silver & Gold Live came out rather quickly with the solo versions of the CSNY songs. Very beautiful renditions. Always felt that CSN was more of a distraction towards Neil’s creative momentum than a benefit. Need proof? Look at their output solo or together the past 50 years. Props to Croz, he’s been on a roll lately.

    It’s nice watching David Crosby in this video looking sober and healthy, and looking like he has a new lease on life. It’s a shame he fell out with Neil, because Neil Young told him that if he sobered up, he would get the band together again, and he incentivized him to get sober. He did just that.

    I really like the tranquil transition at 2:23 (of 2:05 - 2:42 segment), going from chaotic to serenity. I think it’s that one chime that catches me. The chime chorus at 1:58 and 3:18 is mellifluous, when you plus/minus a couple seconds. Also, such a powerful statement “Don’t know where things went wrong. Might have been when you, were young and strong.” Can’t recall where I first heard this, may have been on one of those VH1 specials about past music or about the 80s. Great video too, I like the revolutionary soldier uniforms.

    Been through worse Mr. Canuck. The Great Depression, the 1890s, in which President Cleveland had to borrow gold from bankers to keep the Federal Government afloat. Almost saw it all crack up in the 1860s. Yet, this country rebounds.

    I love this song, and the video is great...hardly remembered it at all. Love all the characters that the band members play, especially Neil, barely recognizable with that scraggly beard. Funny singing a song called "American Dream" when only 2 of the 4 CSNY members are actually American. Still love the song and the vid, and thanx very much for posting it.

    Never could get enough of this song. That brief shot of Jimmy Swigart was epic. As far as Lt. Col. Ollie North, I wasn't in the Corps, I was in the Air Force (although my late dad was in the Corps) Sempre Fi. I really regret how the gov't hauled him through the meat grinder the way they did. I guess that's all water over the hill now. Very cool vid.

    I was 12 when this came out in November 1988 and heard a lot on Rock radio in New England. Plus saw the video on MTV a few times in the midst of the glam metal and bubble gum R&B music. Plus videos from Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd and Rush were played a bit alongside this track.
    The album was not a flop, it went Platinum and Top 15 and was Neil’s biggest success in the 1980s.
    In fact this video premiered on MTV along with Comfortably Numb from Pink Floyd’s Delicate Sound of Thunder on the MTV show Now Hear This. I felt sorry that the Winger video that was premiered was mercifully overshadowed

    The only time I called a radio station was to complain . When this was released, our local ‘ ILR , Ocean Sound Portsmouth/Southampton , Amazingly amidst it’s constant Michell Jackson & Billy Ocean usual tunes , played this - but the DJ crashed the final third to fade ...having just smoked one my bliss was turned to fury and immediately called the number given out by the Cheesey sod ( I reached the switchboard only ) . After the next record had been allowed to finish , the DJ - with all the Sarcasm and Ire he could muster announced through gritted teeth “ The next time I play American Dream by CSN&Y, I promise to play it all...EVERY LAST NOTE ....” - Victory over the station previously known as ‘ Radio Victory ‘ , which played The Tubes rather than Wham or ABBA. Love from wessexshire 🏴😇🍄 Footnote - Ocean Sound was swallowed up by even cheesier super - wankers , Capital ....

    Yeah, we are sibling nations. With a pair of cousins down under. As per the late Robertson Davies. And you guys went in the WWII right after our parents, Britain and France, got into it; and we stayed on the sidelines for over two years, expecting the mad mad world to go away. Am heartened by TIME magazine's cover story this week, about the turnaround of the US auto industry, some of which I know operates in Canada. Happy Holidays. . . . . . lp aca la usa

    I hadn't thought of this song in three decades, and then it suddenly popped into my head about a week ago. It took me until now to figure out what it was. I could hear the flute part and the guy's voice but couldn't remember the name or the lyrics. And then I suddenly remembered the band's name.
