Always remember Stephen at his peak, through Buffalo Springfield and all the incarnations of his brilliance there after. So many masterpieces created with excellence & presented with such expertise. Like everyone who has gone before & those present ir still to come, let us celebrate the gift they shared with us, when they were unsurpassed. Let us lend then respect for that gift, when time wears down the senses & ravages those talents. We shall all have to lay down our weary tune at some stage and when that time comes, let us reflect on love & appreciation. ❤
I'm glad we have TH-cam to see these guys and others from that generation... forever. For soon they will be gone without other musicians at their caliber to replace them.
This is why I flew there from Alaska to see these icons while they’re still with us. We lost Robbie Robertson before the festival began. Eric played two of the songs from The Band to honor him.
And Eric mentioned Jeff Beck beforehand. Jeff toured Europe then the States just before he passed. There are numerous TH-cam videos of all those shows! Fantastic. 🎉
Boy 1 of my all time favorites. Sad no one sang along with Steven since the song is known for it's vocal harmonies. Great psychedelic guitar freak out from Steven tho'.
The electric guitar 🎸 is such an amazing instrument- it's so sensitive: fingers on the strings, pick-ups sending to amplification. Stephen Stills plays one note and you can hear him. Same instrument, six strings, but produces each artist clearly (!) Human feeling, vibrating strings- electricity, speakers! 🕉
Agreed, the vocals are tough, but I will always regard the original recording of this as some of the greatest acoustic guitar work ever placed on vinyl. I can't think of anyone more prolific on the stage and in the studio than Stills was between '66 and '82.
Eric Clapton seems in most songs he went on the stage without any rehearse and he said ok i will improvise based on where their hands are on frets... he just jammed most of the whole show..like without knowing the songs or what they will do exactly..is it always like this?
Stephen Stills has a severe hearing loss. Diagnosed when he was 9, it has steadily deteriorated over the years. Couple that with an aging voice (he's 78) and those notes easily hit, in his 20's through 40's, become far less easy to hit and/or stay on pitch at his currant age. All that said, he really should have someone who can hit those notes, and sustain them, do the vocals these days. But it's always nice to see him (still) out there!
Well at least Eric came in and saved this song with some clarity and semblance as we would expect. Props to Stephen for giving it his best tho. Guy is a legend but hearing & voice is shot ?
Yes, I think he is actually deaf. I think he is wearing hearing aids and thus having a hard time with hearing his own vocals. Very sad. But great to see him and of course, EC.
Not really several decades. I saw the last CSNY concert in Tampa in the early 2000’s . The singing and harmonies were amazing. Stephen and Neil played some incredible guitar solos around each other. Crosby & Nash sang beautifully. A memorable performance for certain.
I was there 250 a piece, suite seat's my mind was 🤯 looking down was the time instead of some jackass blocks my view well money spent I traveled from Oklahoma to California to see concert 18 hours straight then 22 hours back 💪

Well said indeed
@@suzywalsh7906 I love EC’s way of doing “The Shape I’m In.”
And Eric mentioned Jeff Beck beforehand.

Fantastic. 🎉
Stephen was singing pretty good.
One of my favorite Stephen Stills related songs ever!! Thank You to everyone who made this possible!!
Do you think she loves you Do you think at all
Great version! Never heard, a marvellous song, a great composer, great guitar player, one of the Best, isn't he? Wow 🎉❤
Unfortunately we won’t have forever to watch this. God speed boys
Stephen looks and sounds great. So good to see him on stage again.
Thanks for your music!!!

Stephen
Extraordinary.
So Proud of you.
Texan Proud, man.❤

Amazing. Thank you Jacob.
Speaking as a Stills fan of more than fifty years, he really needs to get someone to sing the lead on his songs.
Agreed, as another Stills fan. Alternatively he needs to get his mojo back and begin singing in key again
Agreed, the vocals are tough, but I will always regard the original recording of this
as some of the greatest acoustic guitar work ever placed on vinyl. I can't think of
anyone more prolific on the stage and in the studio than Stills was between '66 and '82.
He's struggled with his voice. But this was tolerable .
Love the one you're with !
Hope Stills goes on tour again!
Mr Soul, you got it Right that Night.🌎🌏🌍
Eric Clapton seems in most songs he went on the stage without any rehearse and he said ok i will improvise based on where their hands are on frets... he just jammed most of the whole show..like without knowing the songs or what they will do exactly..is it always like this?
Clapton never try’s to put stages the other performers
Always tends to sit back
Plus he is almost 80
Could anyone else on Earth offer Backup like Mr Clapton?
Extraordinary.
I won't say the Sacrilige, but He is a Saint of Guitarists!
Beloved Treasure.
As Carlos Santa once said.about EC: THE ARCHANGEL OF THE CENTURY
I guess so. Clapton jammed with Santana and even sang black.magic woman
Stills best ever

Stills has created incredible music in his years, yes he’s deaf, and the voice suffers as a result… God bless Eric and Stephen…… rock legends
Oh dear, oh dear!
I wish someone helpled in the singing 😊
Stephen seems to be nearing the end of his singing career. His playing is still great.
He's actually been at the end of his singing career for the past few decades. 😂
Not really several decades. I saw the last CSNY concert in Tampa in the early 2000’s . The singing and harmonies were amazing. Stephen and Neil played some incredible guitar solos around each other. Crosby & Nash sang beautifully. A memorable performance for certain.
The man could still play, but loss of hearing really affected his singing. That being said, it's still a pleasure to see him perform.
So glad they are grown ups and can put their political differences aside and play beautiful music!
Very difficult to watch this. Why couldn't somebody tell him not to sing and let someone else take the lead.
❤Ah, need I say Mr Clapton Spectacular, Impeccable BritBabe. 👀
POLKA DOT shirt just like his father!
it's not polka dot. check it out on the close ups
Oh no 😂😂😂
2023 ?
Yes, Saturday September 23, 2024.
I was there 250 a piece, suite seat's my mind was 🤯 looking down was the time instead of some jackass blocks my view well money spent I traveled from Oklahoma to California to see concert 18 hours straight then 22 hours back 💪
Clapton looked so mad when he started singing
Gorgeous Guitar.
(put a bandaid over that mouth, please)
his voice has seen better days
Unfortunately Stephen's voice isn't what it used to be.
Very true but I was happily surprised by his guitar playing!
Crackled mess,
But the guitar work was Exceptional!
Clapton looks great. He’s definitely one of the best but this sound now is tired
Stills has definitely passed his "sell by" date.
Some years ago I saw him so drug damaged he could not really speak. Glad to see he's recovered somewhat.
When do they put the
Crass Stupid stamp on You?
@@virginiamiller9765 Poor Virginia, can't handle reality. You're the one that sounds stupid, dear.
@@blue-fj9ky "Somewhat"
See want drugs do ss
That must be it. It's as though they don't know the fretboard. Holy crap!
Haha! Stills was never a good guitarist, however.
I get that but he doesn't even seem to know the fretboard to improvise ! Weird !@@userer4579
Maybe Stephen Stills should consider not singing in public anymore.
Flat
🤮
I'm still waiting to hear someone play a great guitar solo! lol
Karaoke style 😮
