Summary:
From the first public Mime Troupe events in 1965 to his untimely death in 1991, Bill Graham set the standard for excellence in concert presentations and in doing so, redefined the art of communication for an entire generation. To honor Bill Graham, Steve Kahn and Melissa Gold, the BGP staff organized a free concert in Golden Gate Park for Sunday, November 3. Mother Nature cooperated and provided a comfortable and cloudless day as 300,000 people gathered in the Polo Field of Golden Gate Park.
Although the Grateful Dead were expected to make an appearance, the list of performers was kept well under wraps and few had any idea who exactly would be performing. It didn't seem to matter though, as the feeling that permeated the crowd was one of quiet reflection. This concert marked the end of an era, but also memorialized Bill Graham in a manner that was fitting - a free concert in the heart of where it all started. The sad circumstances aside, this was truly a celebration of Graham's life and as the poster for this event noted, it was to be a day filled with Laughter, Love and Music.
A rousing welcome greeted the second extended set of the day, which brought together Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. Rarely a polished band onstage, this set is more ragged than usual, but to some degree that is part of the charm of this impromptu performance. There is no rhythm section here; just the four musicians and their distinctive voices. Other than occasional electric guitar work from Stills and Young, the set is instrumentally an acoustic affair, utilizing only guitars and harmonica.
They begin with Nash's anthemic "Teach Your Children," engaging the audience to sing along. Next up is Stills' "Love the One You're With," in a rare acoustic arrangement. The melancholy harmonica intro to Neil Young's "Long May You Run" and the relaxed groove he soon creates on this song is one of the highlights of their set. The lyric and the inherent sadness in Young's vocal seems to resonate and reflect on the day.
Crosby's "Long Time Gone" features some interesting electric lead guitar work from Stills, but ultimately suffers from the lack of rhythm section and Crosby's shouting, as opposed to singing, the vocal. "Southern Cross" fares slightly better, but again it is Neil Young's "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" that brings out the most thoughtful and harmonious interplay.
Recognizing this, they deliver another engaging performance. The vocals are now stronger and the extended jam treatment given to "Wooden Ships" lends itself to some nice interplay between Stills and Young, with Crosby's unique rhythm guitar propelling things along for nearly ten minutes.
They close their set with Neil Young's "Ohio;" a strange choice indeed! This, possibly to Neil's delight, is ragged beyond belief, complete with out-of-tune guitars and extremely ragged vocals. Nonetheless, the audience seems to enjoy it and is soon repeatedly singing "four dead in Ohio," as the group exits the stage.
Following a few brief announcements from Jerry Pompili, he introduces Wavy Gravy, who engages the audience to do their part in cleaning up the park. He ends his brief speech, with "OK. Let's Party!" anticipating the next band to take the stage: the Grateful Dead. - เพลง
Neil's voice is soul deep can listen to him for hours and hours like I did in the 70s and 80s sounds just as good in 24now I'm 61 and still as layed back as then
Try not to worry. I'm 65, an ex surfer and rockn roller who likes Creedence and all the good stuff!!# Was a soldier too!
long may you run, troop...
I'm 65 too,but I wasn't a surfer or even a soldier...But I can play and sing this song in my guitar,specially when I am drunk.

Well I'm 64 now and this is one of my favorite songs by Neil. I love his
songs in this vein. I was an Airman in the Air Force, but it was peace
time, just missed the Viet Nam War, and I want to thank everybody
who went to Nam in my place. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Long may YOU run.

Exactly, Im favorite song is old man
Ciao,David, le tue parole e tue musiche resteranno per sempre, per sempre.
Was so lucky to see CSN&Y at Woodstock as a 16 year old visitor from the Netherlands, they and their music have never left me since
Neil Young was not at Woodstock.
This song takes place in my father's hometown, just after the Trans Canada hwy opened. We visited often my grand mother and two aunts at their store in Blind River.
I've often thought the car ended up at 1 of the 2 scrap yards , one to the east well out of town and one just to the west along the ACR tracks that run alongside the hwy.
McFaddens mill, logging were the bigger employers in the 50' and 60's, all very quiet now.
So many around the world love this song, for so many different reasons.
Great song writing is timeless.
What year? Please
My best guess is the song refers to about 1962 or so just after the Trans Canada hwy opened along Lake Superior. Neil lived and performed Thunder Bay for a while before heading to Toronto.Long May You Run", peaked at #71 on the UK singles chart.[5] The song was an elegy for Neil Young's first car (which he nicknamed "Mort"[6]), a 1948 Buick Roadmaster hearse that died in 1962 when its transmission blew in Blind River, Ontario.[@@derekbone6803
Extra fantastic !!!! Oh my , time machine please !!! God I long for yesteryears !!!!!
So many beautiful memories! Peace everone!❤
God bless you love and peace to all.
God given talent. Beautiful voice. Long may you run.
Watched this, noticed the date - 30 years ago. I was there with a friend long since dead. Time goes so fast.
Neil and Crazy 🐎!. The bomb!!
I was 11 years old when I first listened to 4 way street double album , still enjoy the music
Neil hits it out of the park again.
I ❤️ Neil Young 🌱 Forever ❤️
I was there. Front row middle... 17 years old.
Simple and beautiful song
From Bill Graham's, Steve's & Melissa's Memorial concert at the Polo Fields in Golden Gate Park: Laughter, Love & Music 11-3-1991 I'm glad I made it. I still get emotional when I hear the music, from that day. I can only imagine what it must been like for all of there friends, that played on that day. I had no idea there was a film. I would love a dvd copy if it's available. Who knew barely 4 years later, we would all be gathering again, for Jerry.
I love it, thanks for sharing!
oh god....so many memories....
I was 41, where the hell does the time go???...great tunes...
Man you aren’t lying.
I went to bed one night, as a 28 year old and woke up a
63-year-old man the are
kids are going grown and gone,
And the overtime and money
Was all for nothing .
I guess it could have been Worse
As for today 8/17/21 I wouldn’t have missed it for the world
Like Ronnie Milsap said…
@@georgestrong777 no, it wasn't for nothing. you love your kids. it only takes one reason .
Wat een stem en sfeer rond die songschrijver geweldig
Love you Neil 😍
Definitely the best performance of the day for them.
A ja słucham i kolekcjonuje Jego płyty od ok 55 lat i nigdy mi się nie nudzą !- szkoda mi tylko ,że mój Idol z młodzieńczych lat ( i do dzisiaj) nie odwiedził Polski - graj graj do końca świata i jeden dzień dłużej Neil!- Rengi Kid - pozdrawiam i czekam na koncerty w moim kraju bo Ciebie potrzebuje gnębiona ludnoś - Freedom- Rengi Kid✌️🤠🏜️🌹👍
My daughter Miranda and I were there from Sydney - a special day, a special song
welcome
Nice..cool mom you are!
Love this!
Another fine video and performance from Neil, from The Stills-Young Band album of the same name from Sept '76.
Neil's a one man band.
love it
I’m 71. I found lots to do fixing your stormy weather.
To La , always wanted that for you, Long may run
Neil's beloved Pontiac hearse, "Mort" (a.k.a. "Mortimer Hearseburg"),
was the inspiration for this song. Neil drove "Mort" from Toronto to Los
Angeles, where he met Stephen Stills and formed Buffalo Springfield.
Neil was in Canada driving to Sudbury when 'Mort' broke down in Blind River,
June 1965. (Which is contradictory to the lyrics; "well it was back in
Blind River, in 1962, when I last saw you alive").
This song takes place in my father's hometown, just after the Trans Canada hwy opened. We visited often my grand mother and two aunts at their store in Blind River.
I've often thought the car ended up at 1 of the 2 scrap yards , one to the east well out of town and one just to the west along the ACR tracks that run alongside the hwy.

Super
I alway's envisage a Hearse with a Surf Board on top, whenever I hear this song....
❤CSNY!
awsome
My brother always said when he was 10 , that C S N was a better band without Neil Young and I always said as a 7 year old that Neil was the best member. Looking at this band now some 50 years latter , I would of hated to be the sound engineer cutting records for CSN and Y because Neil is a natural individual stylist . Willie Nelson is another individual with his own sound . And maybe it was this , me and my brother Argued about all those years ago. They made being 7 years old cool.
What you say about Neil being more of an individual stylist is true, but as a sound engineer and producer it's stimulating and exciting to make the elements of CSN&Y work in a recording.
I hate you people in big cities who get great concerts like this!!!!
Nananananana
Neil was in full control.....
He didn't let Stephen do a lead solo.
If it was me i would've said "Hey man do the fuckin' song alone!
the saddest version of this otherwise great song
Yes. But the song is always sad. Neil just discarded his car that served him for a long long time before he even became famous. That car was always in bad shape as he can not afford new cars yet..so it is sad, poetic and poignant
Sadly, we will never see the likes of CSN+Y again.
Love ir
Imieivent,anni
That was before Neil kicked Crosby's ass, because he gave very rude commentaries about Darryl Hannah. Anyway, Neil doesn't need them and an occasional reunion with Stills on one of his concerts will do. Long may you run Neil!
They never got in an actual fight
i bet Cros and Stills put a formidable dent in the catering table after this gig!
Heavyweights of Rock😋
😆
Crosby , Stills , Nash , Young , Dave , Dee , Dozy , Beaky , Mick , Titch , Simon , Garfunkel , Peter , Paul , Mary , John , Paul , Ring & Georgeo Band .
What's your point? Sorry. I don't understand.
Much better on his own
Was he waving the cameras back?
probably the control volume was loud and sign to down
It appeared to me that he was waving back the camera guy. Neil’s always been very tetchy about being filmed at concerts where it’s not on his terms. At Woodstock you don’t see any shots of him as apparently he insisted he’d only play if there was no footage recorded of him. Hence some people mistake that it was only CSN that played, rather than CSNY.
More likely monitor speaker was way too loud. Points and motions to bring it down.
@@SeadartVSG No, it was definitely the camera guy he was waving back. Same thing happened at Woodstock and why he doesn't appear in the film.
Yes.
Love those guys I love that song, but this performance sounds like they just phoned it in.
크로스비도 가고 ᆢ ㅠ
I beleive anything can happen, come out of a bad situation into a good one, like I believe that Lynard Skynard will Tour with Neil Young soon!
😂😂😂2022 : Nothing so far!
Crikey, talk about body language! Were they even speaking to each other?
Ikr looks like they arent liking eachother much
It was only an old hearse.
Great song though.
Yes, great song. Don't you think Neil would have cherished the old hearse ?
I use to think he was singing about a friend or something. lol
Could Crosby and Nash act any more bored?
Neil did not like the cameraman
Neil Young and some other blokes…..
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😉
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young is All ways better WITHOUT Crosby, Stills and Nash!
THAT'S HOW POOR IT GETS ... OUTSIDE OF THE STUDIO.
Lotta people hated Bill cause he was the down and dirty bottom line guy in the idealistic world of rock.Took a special Grace to pull that off.Still miss playing football
on New Year's at Kaisers having to block Bill.He didn't pay shot but I don't know anybody who wasn't proud as hell to work for him.
David Crosby is wasted.
Bet he and Jerry Garcia got loaded backstage together
