This wonderful harmony is part of my musical upbringing..as a 5 year old, I reckonized greatness! I will miss Croz forever, but I will carry on his harmonies always...
His family were all from salford they went to blackpool during the war and come back to salford after , grew up in ordsall where he met alan clarke to form the hollies
Randy P. I think he means when Stills and Crosby were initially together before they had met Nash at Mama Cass’s house and sang together for the first time.

Marrakesh Express has been so very forgotten. I never liked it much but it didn't deserve to be forgotten the way it seems to have been. I can't remember ever hearing it on any classic rock radio. I'm sure it is heard on those special digital stations and such but the song was lost for the most part to mainstream rock.

@@pmsfar-outgrooviness8025 No , you can see Stills hands and he is only singing .Surely Neil Young plays piano and Greg Reeves bass. Besides I can listen another guitar.Did Stills re-re recorded that in the studio??.
@@ernestoclaudodip9671 yeah, he overdubbed all of those parts in the studio by himself. Here's the original raw performance (no overdubs): th-cam.com/video/ZYppEWiEh4k/w-d-xo.html
@@pmsfar-outgrooviness8025 Thank you for the information , how did you know?. Anyway I prefer the original version without the overdub because is what the audience heard.
@@pmsfar-outgrooviness8025 Thanks for the correction! I assumed it was Neil, since he refused to be filmed. Where did you find out who played the overdub- just curious?!
@@kellyryan574 I'm not exactly sure where, maybe a CSNY book. The overdubs were added for a CSN home video. Here is a clip of the undoctored performance: th-cam.com/video/ZYppEWiEh4k/w-d-xo.html
I liked this group from the get go. Now that it's 2016, I relied Graham Nash could of went so much further without Stills and Crosby. Like Neil Young did. Get out on your own, our that good.

Still blows my mind that a lad from my hometown of salford played the mighty woodstock ! Love you graham !!!
Is he from Salford? Sure I read somewhere he’s from Denton. Could be wrong though
His family were all from salford they went to blackpool during the war and come back to salford after , grew up in ordsall where he met alan clarke to form the hollies
I LOVE that line about "...the corner of my my my my mouth" Sung just exactly perfect!
Graham Nash - genius!
The joy which they derived from singing "Blackbird" is beautiful to watch.
These guys were just so important to us.
Such fantastic harmony
This band was amazing....then they were joined by Graham Nash. His vocals took them into legend!
Agreed that Nash was (and is) distinctive and a superb vocalist. But, don't you mean then they were joined by Neil Young? CSN was the original trio.
Randy P. I think he means when Stills and Crosby were initially together before they had met Nash at Mama Cass’s house and sang together for the first time.
Idk if he knows that this is graham nash
@@RandyPreksta later. You are right. I believe composition wash by Graham Nash.

Hope the days that lie ahead
Bring us back to where they've led
Listen not to what's been said to you
Would you know we're riding
On the Marrakesh Express
Would you know we're riding
On the Marrakesh Express
All on board that train
I've been saving all my money just to take you there
I smell the garden in your hair
Take the train from Casablanca going south
Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my my, my, my, my mouth
Colored cottons hang in air
Charming cobras in the square
Striped Djellebas we can wear at home
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
They're taking me to Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express
Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express

Absolutely underrated GUITARIST
Best marrakesh express versión ever!!
Mauricio Aguilar Totalmente de acuerdo,mejor que la de estudio mil veces!
Muito Massa!!!Pegar a máquina do tempo pra acompanhar os 3 dias do Woodstock!
and a very bad "blackbird"
@@philipose66are you nuts?
@@philipose66because one of stills strings is out of tune?
They were the best ever, hands down.

I don't see how it was forgotten.
I've heard it on the radio many times over the years.
Probably because classic rock radio are busy playing Won’t Get Fooled Again or Hotel California for the 100000000x time
@@jonnybirchyboy1560 or Baba Oreily or Bohemian Rhapsody or More Than a Feeling
Not for me. I was born in 77. RIP Crosby
Actually it's one of my favorite CSN songs because it was a bit more upbeat. But yeah, you don't here it much.
I can't help feeling bad humans have to abuse themselves so much. This was my first favorite band.
Every time you breath brother.Every single time.
Some oxidise away and some enjoy themself....the end result smells the same.
When music existed.
Damn, this band is so refreshing =)
wow, this is really pure. magic is truly magical when it happens. this happened. thanks
amazing sound for 1969!
So fucking perfect.
More more more please from.that day !!!!
Much better than the studio version.
Voices of the angels!!!
David Crosby (1941- January 18, 2023) RIP
All aboard to Marrakech. Bisous. Khadija
Rip David Crosby
Thanks
Heavenly thanks to Cass Elliot aka Ellen Naomi Cohen ...without whom, CSN would likely not have happened.
R.I.P David Crosby .
Wow sounds so better live
I was there, and so was I....
We had a groovy time 🤔
Farm out... out of state
These guys singing "Blackbird." The only way the Beatles got to the show.
I have to correct you. Richie Havens sang Strawberry Fields Forever, and he was the very first to play.
And Joe Cocker with "With a little hekp from my friends"
As I watch this video, I am reading Graham Nash's bio.... he paid his Dues!!!!
I'm reading that book too. This could have been a great Hollies song. So crazy they rejected it for Jennifer Eccles.
Nice! Thank You for sharing...
Paul McCartney wrote “Blackbird” about African Americans. Beautiful rendition.
Stills" "We're scared sh*tless."

Os meninos arrepiando em Woodstock.
Neil Young refused to be filmed at Woodstock for some reason. Wasn't hip or something like that. A little hippie hissy-fit.
This is great!
Were there audio visual shenanigans at Woodstock that we don't know about? Like editing, post editing and other smoke and mirrors apple pie?
Blackbirds best rendition.
Blackbird do Paul não está no Album dos 3, de 69. É uma pena.
RIP Steve.
They were the best
R.I.P. David Crosby…
Better than the original Blackbird.
UncleJohn72 it's damn good. A cool, jazzy arrangement. But not better than SIRPAUL's
Stills and Young should have played lead guitar on Marrakesh Express like the Y2K tour.
🌈 immortal event
Graham Nash is my favorite
The tune I began singing after the earthquake in the Atlas Mountains? 😊
I was on a train to Marrakesh, when I got robbed ... crazy Marrocs
Verdadeiro som country
one way to get The Beatles to Woodstock
RIP David Crosby
What was their first performance if this was their second?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰❤️
In Marrakesh Express Stills plays percussion Nash plays guitar Crosby only sings,who plays bass and who plays piano??????
Stephen Stills

Does anyone know who's playing the bass during Marakeesh Express?
Stephen Stills
Well, actually I see him shaking some maracas.
😉🛫🌴🤦♂️😁
Who is playing bass on this?
Greg Reeves was their bass player at Woodstock and on the Deja Vu album.
Stills and/or Crosby mess up and only sing the second chorus once (around 1:55) Nash is understandably a little pissed and forced to end it early.
This song sucks, I love CSN and CSNY but I can't stand this fucking song.
The Blackbird cover is amazing though.
It is a song about Martin Luther King
honestly--this does not hold up to Beatles--harmonies or picking of tune---wow, i try never to be criticl, but this is a bad version
There were no harmonies by the Beatles on Blackbird.
