When they all sing harmony it’s got this angelic quality
Precisely. Well said.
In 2024, 14 years later, still one of the best live covers on TH-cam.
01:07 UTC 17 August 2024!
Agreed.
Yes it is. How do I book them at our acoustic hall at the Sondhiem Center in Fairfield Iowa?
Imagine grabbing a beer and some food at the local restaurant and hearing a song like this played to perfection that would later have at least 5 million views.
Not just a random restaurant... a bottom self-pizza and stale beer dive.
Amazing event! I hope the peeps that happened to be there appreciate what they witnessed.
What's crazy is the audience is kinda lethargic. Not sure they have any idea how difficult it is to pull that song off that well. Amazing performance.
Well earned.
I'm not the only one who has pointed this out, but it worth repeating on this 14th anniversary date: Even if one hasn't read the Ear Candy book and discovered that Scott King was truly a professional bass player with considerable street cred in the music business, one only has to listen to his amazing live bass playing here to realize that Scott's reaction at 8:08 to this performance is the perfect acknowledgement of its magnificence.
This is, without question, the single greatest cover track on TH-cam...
It's up there , no doubt. When I first came across this on TH-cam I thought it was incredible for a live performance in a very low key venue. Everything about the performance was mesmerizing and I've followed them ever since. They are such nice and genuine people.. I wish them all the success that they deserve...but they are probably happy anyway.
Have you heard their Helplessly Hoping?? It's fantastic!!
tanstaafl: There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch..... From a fellow Heinlein fan. There's a blast from the past.
@@AzTrailRider57 love Heinlein. Lazarus Long is one of the best characters ever.
Scott's bass ..... OMG!
OMG.Super great.That bass player is the hidden backbone of this performance.
Mr Scott King. (RIP) Late addition, rehearsed with them once. First song the group ever played. Love his reaction at the end 8:07
Scott King, RIP, you were the Bass King of all times.
Yes, he was very good! It's too bad he died prematurely! RIP
Agreed. One of the best bass performances I've ever heard.
@@elisabethhadley7182Scott was the best.
Its September 3rd 2023 and who is still listening 😮 to this great music 🎼
Still? That implies I stopped.5 years of at least 3 times a week (probably double that).
One million channel views per month. BTW they continue to post a new song once a month 13+ years later.
@@lynwessel2471 Well, that is more than just me ;-) But yeah, I heard that number in the last Patreon video chat.
The best of humanity. 🏆
If there's a better cover of a CSNY song I have yet to find it - so good
Bass man is the bus driver.
No-one has ever covered this insanely difficult song better.
Agreed. playing bass since 1970 and this is a masterpiece. Everyone is spot on.
Agree. He kills it.
great cover Josh Turner Guitar does a great cover.
Scott was a master bassist for sure!
Imagine a song with so many noticeable outstanding parts to it...the open tuning guitar, the trade off singers plus the ultra rich harmonies and you make a comment about the bass being the bus driver. And being completely correct about it. Well said!
I’ve been in music, either playing or singing, for over sixty years. This performance brings a tear to my eyes. I’ve performed CSN music with my friends and can’t tell you in words how difficult it is to get good. These guys exceed “good” by a far shot! My favorite group on TH-cam! And I’m a big Rush fan. Thank you for all your music! You are a treasure. Again, thank you.
The Graham Nash E-mail : "I can't tell you how much I enjoyed your performance of our song....in tune, energetic, delightful, many congratulations...Well done all of you." Love to All - Graham Nash.
Lyn Wessel ........fresh, flowing and a balm to an aging weary soul.....god bless...lyn, graham and most of all singers and players
He is Truly a good Human !
@@vanillagorilla8236 Tim met him at a book signing some years later and as he began to introduce himself Graham interrupted "The girls! They're in college now."
Lyn...thanks so much for sharing!
@@chuckstewart9102 Tim shows the autographed email on the Q&A video.
You don't just watch this performance one time! First time, you are amazed, second time you are captivated, third time you can't understand how they do it. After that, you sit back and enjoy it more and more.
First song the group ever played in public. Came up with the band name onstage just before they began.
Absolutely.
You said it all right there.
Absolute truth!
Not many people can cover this song. Sadly most people have no idea how much talent they just witnessed.
Yep, and turn the damn TV's off in the background. You are witnessing genius here. Super hard song to cover!
@@brianlane6118 They did turn them off after a sing or two.
And with two 15-year-olds and no drummer - astonishing.
@@dougrose2452 Never even noticed no drummer
So, I said to David Crosby at the Meet and Greet two years ago at the Uptown Theater in Napa, California, "what do you think about that terrific band, Foxes and Fossils, singing Suite Judy Blue Eyes live?" And he pauses, reflects for a moment, and says, "I wish I was good enough to be in that band!" Kudos to Foxes and Fossils for brightening all our lives in these tough times.
Come on Barry, really?????
If he really said that....very funny and classy
Leave a tip and buy a CD: it'll sound even better 😍🎵
High praise
Lmao , I showed him this , said he had no idea Who you are
And you sound like you're full of B'S.
I just had to come back here and listen to Scott on that bass again. RIP Scott, you did good in this world.
Scott👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻☀️🌎🎸🎶🎶🎶
AMEN
Amazing 👏
Same here. He was an awesome bass player. So thankful we have these videos to listen to and to see him play.
I feel you man Scott knocks it out of the Park 😜
Incredible execution of insanely difficult harmonies - live! No over-sampling, no auto tune, no prerecorded tracks, no techno nonsense, everyone fully dressed, no backup dancers, excellent LIVE musicianship. Millennials, Gen-whatevers pay attention- this is music
Ahh!! brings back sweet memories. Quite Simply Awesome
And this was the first song of their first performance.... I must have listened to this 100's of times since I discovered it 5 or 6 years ago. Never gets old.
This is just beyond amazing!!!
Just found out about this group! Phenomenal musicians. CSNY harmonies aren't an easy accomplishment! Love love this group 💥
This is REAL music!!
Foxes and Fossils is so good they brings me to tears. I have been listening to them for years…and can’t get enough. I hope they realize how much joy they bring to everyone. It’s unfortunate that they are in different states now and it’s difficult for them to get together. Please do more, anything you do will be much appreciated. I can’t thank you enough for all the joy you have brought to me.
Everyone except Maggie and guest bassist Ross are back in the Atlanta area as of the last 2 years.
I can't imagine sitting in a bar, a band that you've probably never heard of comes out to play their set, and you're not expecting anything great.... and then you hear this... Phenomenal performance.
I can't get over that there are TV's on behind them...
The people there definitely didnt know what to expect. Its the first song they ever played in public.
The TVs were shut off a couple songs later. "15" and "Strawberry Wine" followed this, the left TV goes off for "Bring It On Home", and the right TV goes off by the end of "We Run". They sang 15 more songs that night.
@@StuartMStrickland truly a magical ✨ moment. The Youth of the girls explains the rashness of being able to think they can pull this off... But what explains that rashness when it comes to the grown men?? Inspiration? 💖💙🤩
I've seen a number of their fabulous videos, playing in front of people ... might as well have been playing in front of a pile of dead fish.
If I was audience I'd do my best to make 'em feel glad to be there performing, looking forward to a return.
@@revpgesqredux 30 years of being semi-professional musicians who never quite got the big break.
Who's listening January 2020 and STILL amazed at this rendition!
Just watched the new Q+A vid they just posted and, as soon as it finished, I just had to come back and watch this AGAIN!
I just know I will be coming back regularly to watch this to the end of my days. The ecstacy of the vocals, those sweet harmonies, the energy, bright sound and skill of the lead guitar, the warm dance of the bass line, the perfect balance of the whole arrangement, and the icing on the cake? The beauty of the girls, so engrossed in their performance, they hardly seem to realise how gorgeous they are to watch xx
Sublime.
Ben Grillet yes yes and yes!
Me....add me! :)
yep! i am still listening - over and over.
Still amazing even today. Such incredible talent--ALL of them! Hard song to cover and they all NAILED IT!!
I spent a career as a high school band teacher being able to ferret out which player hit a Bb instead of B natural and which flute is out of tune and I’m stunned at this performance. I’ve listened to it multiple times, and as difficult as it is, they all nailed it. They blew right past being technically accurate and perform the whole thing in a way that makes a person want to listen to it again and again. It’s just plain fun.
Agree!!
Wow, the acoustic guitarist was awesome. The rest of the group were also fantastic in this performance of the CSN No.1 hit.
I saw Janis, Jimi, and the Dead at the Fillmore in 68, I saw the Rolling Stones at Altamont in 69, I saw Linda Ronstadt more times than I can count, but I wish I was at Bella's in 2010 for this performance.
Who's watching this in 2019 and LOVING it! They're so awesome even 9 years later!
Can you imagine if they toured the Country? These Talented Souls would Pack Clubs!!
@@NS9213 I'd pay to see them, but please no TV's during the performance...how disrespectful is that!
Repeatedly!
Philo Kvetch I never get tired of listening to this family of fantastic players!!!
ME!!!
All were excellent but the bass player deserves a standing ovation.
Time after time after time, i keep coming back to this recording.
It is THE best live performance of this wonderful song.
👏👏👏👏👏
I wonder if the audience realised that they'd never hear a better rendition of this song for the rest of their lives?
Probably not.
Only someone who lived in that time of the late 60's would really be able to appreciate this. THIS was special. Foxes and Fossils are something special.
Year I agree people these days don’t appreciate live music unless your famous already they can play our country and us kiwis will embrace we’ll even throw a fire 🔥 in the foxes will do well in our country circuit for Shaw
I was sitting here listening to this again for the umpteenth time thinking exactly the same thing...how lucky they are to have heard this live. Still takes my breath away to see such talent and skill.
Quite possibly better than the original.
Well, there is the original...
I'm 72 years-old and have heard everything - this is THE best CSN&Y cover I've ever heard! Well done.
- Glen
Couldn't agree more !!!Fabulous !
AMEN!!!
I agree and I bet nobody will ever top this one!
The more you search the more you will find and come across these exceptional quality covers . There are so much more than I originally believed , nonetheless a jewel is still a jewel 💎 almost flawless ..How lucky are we to find them
Do you know who agrees with you? Graham Nash - contacted them directly to say he loved their cover!
R.I.P. Scott King🕯️...Your masterful bass playing will never be forgotten. 💟
He was amazing
They recently performed a reunion concert. They didn't play this song as a tribute to Scott cause he carried it.
Amen!
Shame, a great player.
I'm still watching in late august 2024... and i'm 70 years old ! Soul loves music .
I’ve watched this over 50 times. I know I’m nobody. I still have to say that there are very few epic performances of cover tunes in the world. This is one. You all nailed it. I am blown away THANK YOU ALL! I’ll watch again and again. God bless you all!!!!!!
hey tony ...no need to apologize for having great musical taste....this is just soooo good.. even Graham Nash said so 😊
And again, I watched. I have no more words. Simply brilliant and fantastic. I love F & F and the fact that I can listen again and again!
Agreed. I keep coming back to this video when it comes up on my feed. I can't not watch it.
You are not the only one Tony! I watched this performance at least once a month for the past 6 or 7 years... and each and every time im just as amazed as i was the first time about how good this cover is! For me this video belongs in the top 3 gems of TH-cam.
I would have to seen them live.
That crowd has NO IDEA what they are witnessing. The guts it took to do this, and have it come fantastic .... it is NOT an easy song, to sing, play. I love this version and the original. Thanks for keeping it here. "4,288,652 views" should say it all...
First song F&F ever performed in public.Tim had just introduced them as the Beauties and Beasties, Scott interrupted and a minute later they became Foxes and Fossils.
wow, that's a lot of views. This should monetize well.
"4,288,652 views" should say it all..."
Well ... a bunch of 'em are mine.
wtf are you talking about? They all look to be listening and enjoying the music. Just because you know how to play guitar doesn't make you an aristocrat who gets to shit on regular people enjoying music. A-hole.
@@twboegel2918 Several of them are mine!
For those who may not know, yet: This was the first ever public performance of Foxes and Fossils.
?
And somebody paid for professional videography and audio tracks directly off the mixing board? for an unknown band?
@@scottbc31h22 Nope. Tim Purcell organized this production himself.
They started out being amazing and have only gotten better with each performance.
@Scott BC31H - Check out the band’s recent Q&A video. Tim’s friend Terry Heinlein is a professional videographer and he volunteered to film the show (Terry ‘complains’ off camera in the video about still not being paid!) and Tim already had HD24 recording gear from his own band, The Mustangs. Foxes and Fossils was a side project to allow his daughter and her friend to sing together - they assumed this would be their only performance.
THAT IS UNBELIEVABLE!!! (the guitarist on the left missed one singing part, but they hammered that song!)
The bridge starting at 2:58, defined by one of the most recognizable bass lines in that musical era, is superbly powerful. These people are terrific!
Never never ever ever heard a cover of this VERY difficult song. This was truly amazing . Perfect harmony perfect guitar work. And that bass... just awesome. These guys are truly inspiring to hear. I just can’ t believe that they are not on some big international tour circuit.
I know that this was recorded a while back but
It is still great in 2019.
How many would agree with that?
allan polk This gave me goose bumps! Thanks!
I fully agree with you!!!
This and Josh Turner Guitar's versions are both top shelf performances. Once I get this song in my head I actually will dream about it. Something about it grabs me. Amazing performance.
Absolutely fantastic job is all I can say... I'm 62 year's old and I love this version even more than the original... It was actually through a TH-cam search I stumbled across this recording, nearly 10 years ago now and I've been following them ever since... Each one is a professional in their own respect... Forever a fan from Missouri USA
This is a great version. You should check out this version as well th-cam.com/video/cUhdL_hUi3w/w-d-xo.html
2 rehearsals and then the first song of their first live performance??..This is truly magical....
Tim worked with the girls on the vocals quite a bit separately. In the years that followed they would have a rehearsal weekend at the beginning of summer, after that just show up and play. Everyone is expected to be fully prepared on their own. (Came in handy when they started studio recording from multiple states.) The Amie and Nobody Love covers on the channel were never rehearsed.
You guys are very talented pros at singing and playing like the pros.
After David's passing today, I just hope you guys realize what a tribute this was and will ever be to his memory. You nailed it 12 years ago.

They killed it - and this is hard to cover, to put it mildly. This doesn't have 4.6 million views for no reason. I always come back and watch this and think: I cannot imagine walking into a restaurant or night club and hearing this without asking someone to turn off the TV.....lol. You really don't need to watching CNN or something when you get to hear this group.
Are those beautiful girls twins?
they really did
@@tomwhite716 no. Not.
BIG CSNY fan excellent cover. 10/10 to the bass player as well
This video records the first song the group ever played together. First concert, opening number. They named the band just a couple seconds before the video starts (a longer version of the concert exists, not online). The guy on the left had never played with the guy on the right, and the two girls - age 16 and 15 - had never performed in this setting before, just church choirs.
They had two practices prior but still. The amount of chemistry going into this with very little experience playing together is incredible. I said it in another video as well - Scott was a heck of a bassist.
Two girls in High School with dad and some local guys to put this together will always amaze me
The "local guys" were some pretty skilled lifelong musicians.Scott was added as an 'afterthought' as he said,rehearsed with them once.Bios at foxesandfossils.com
welcome to the real America!
@Richard Charles What? I don't think any father would think that was disrespectful being called just a dad when doing something great with your family. Give me a break.
@Richard Charles Ok, how about this? It amazes me that this "professional" Band was playing next to a parking lot in a Mexican restaurant patio!
This was eleven years ago. Wonder how many of them went on to successful careers in music, one of the most dif-
ficult of all professions? As great as they are, my bet would be ... not one. It’s a stunning cover of a stunning song but
I’d guess not even the two adults onstage are involved on a full time basis in the music business. I love this, though.
I’m a professional musician and guitar teacher; I can attest to the difficulty of even surviving as a full timer.
Damn, imagine walking into a place expecting to just get a few drinks to kill time and maybe hope for some decent music and running into this? They would have to pry me out of my seat with a crowbar.
Me too. I've been a fan for years :)
Every song they cover is paid the attention it deserves. Musicianship is stunning...and they are personable folks! What more can you ask for?
Nice and very accurate word picture
Yes!
Yes, absolutely, they lose nothing from the original. The sound of the acoustics and the bass driving it along? Wow!
They are awesome! This was one of their first YT videos and have done some phenomenal stuff since! But, this cover is their best in my opinion!
Would have been a tragic loss if this wasn't captured on video. Watching the girls perform at their first concert is such a treasure
This deserves a re-listen today. RIP David Crosby.
My thoughts exactly brother.
@@livinginvancouverbc2247 These guys are so good and now a great tribute.
Had to come back and watch this one again after hearing of the passing of bassist Scott King. Although he doesn’t get much FaceTime in this video, which is typical of for most bass players, he throws down on this song and keeps it tight.
Rest in pease Scott. Prayers for you and your family, as well as all the members of the group as they mourn your passing, and reflect on all the great music to which you contributed.
The crowd had no clue what they were about to experience, and how masterful this performance was
My guess is that they didn't believe what they were hearing and couldn't even process it. I know that I would be really disoriented if the entertainment in a pizza joint started sounding like a front-line band. Like, what was in my beer, man?
For sure they had no clue.
Many times you'll invite family & friends to performances to try to drum up support. A friend tells a friend tells a friend. They probably knew exactly what they were in for, perfection!
@@dabneyoffermein595 This was the first song this group played in public. Came up with the band name 10 seconds before they began.
I dont often comment and at the time of my viewing this video is 13 years old. Im sitting at work with wiping tears from my eyes because this version was so good it made me emotional for no reason other than the beautiful art that was produced. I feel indebted for listening to this magic. I wished i had been there live

Without a drummer, that bassist is holding it down for everyone!
Scott King
Slapper!
he IS the song. Everything else just reacts to him.
Virginia boy. Represent.
I never noticed that. Your right. He's got them covered well. Do you know anyone that needs a bassist?
Just listened to foxes and fossils TH-cam Q&A where Tim references how Graham Nash sent him an email telling him how that was the best cover of the song he’s ever heard. That’s amazing
I agree with Graham !!! Tight cover band.
Kept it Zen simple on instruments, 2 acoustic 6 strings and an electric bass. Certainly all that was needed when executed with this superb level of musicianship. The harmonies are spot on as well. A very impressive rendition of a very challenging song, all hail Fossils and Foxes!😀
Dont think you can get much higher praise and accolades then from Graham Nash himself....well done F&F....keep on trucking!!!!
@@JK-g62 we subsequently had the Honor and Privilage of meeting GN at a CSN show here in Atlanta. He was gracious in manner and generous with his time. absolutely a highlight for me and an experience I will never forget. I reas his biography prior to the meeting. Gave me a wonderful insight to the man, Artist and entrepeneur. His passion is Photography, as well, and he was instrumental in pioneering large format digital photography with his company, Nash Images. Thanks for all the kind words and motivational comments, all.
@@darwinconort424 Big Hollies fan and read his book. Nice person.
well now I'm listening again, in 2023 after many many listens. Never fails. Thank you.
This is the song that turned me on to this phenomenal group of musicians. They have just gotten better with every song. Exceptional artists.
If I wandered into a bar and heard this, I'd give them a standing ovation.
If I wandered into a bar and heard this, I'd think I'd already had too much to drink. No bar band is this good. I know because I used to play in bars.
@@soaringvulture I hear you brother.
Damn skippy!!! I’d be right behind ya. This is just amazing!!
@@soaringvulture Same here - I'd think this is some candid camera stuff where an internationally famous band does a bar performace to see if people know what they are witnessing. It is utterly and totally out of its league.
The girls had no idea how big they would become!! This band can do NO wrong!!
Darwin is just a super guitarist and vocalist. Bringing the older male voices against the gorgeous female vocal is sheer brilliance. The effect of harmony is unparalleled.
Why oh why are you people still sitting watching this amazing performance? You should be dancing in the aisles and giving this band a standing ovation. I'm blown away bt this performance!
Friends and family respectfully listening to the first song they ever performed as a group. I think they were kinda shocked.
Amidst all of this perfection, the bass line is beyond perfect.
Scott King. He does perfect with ridiculous consistency.
foxesandfossils.com
I just melt into that bassline
Agree. Scott is the Glue. His bass interpretation drives this version's success...
@@darwinconort424 Darwin, your contributing vocals and string work is sooo spot on, that it is scary.
The open E tuning is kinda tricky for some, but you just nail everything you do on every part of this
song, as everything else that i've heard you play. The bass is not just glue, It's CRAZY GLUE ! ! !
kirktierney: I have the exact same feeling when I hear this cover. The bass is like the foundation on which this glorious mansion is built.
Scott’s reaction at the end is priceless. He knew that performance was epic, no small part to his phenomenal bass playing keeping it together. We all miss you brother! RIP
I can’t play the guitar, I can’t play the drums , I can’t sing , I can’t harmonise , but boy 👦 I can appreciate good music and singing , I guess I’m the lucky 🍀 one . Thank goodness for Fox’s and fossils, they make the world 🌎 such a better place , God bless them , actually I think 🤔 he already did 🙏
Words of wisdom you've just pronounced
Thanks Karl, for me to just spell my waffle 🧇 is just a bonus , be safe in these trying times 🙏 appreciated your kind comment 😊
Oh, NO DOUBT. These guys, every one,
absolutely exude talent. A rare gift to us , that they have come together as a group to bless us with their gifts.
Man, I would have been standing and clapping for the whole performance.
the bass player is killing it 100%
RIP Scott.......he will be missed.....
In addition to the talent of each and every performer on this stage, that bass guitarist was just amazing for the replication.
it's holding the performance together
Scott was the best bass player I ever knew. His brother Ross is an excellent bassist in his own right!
@@brendabrown8860 he seems really good. seems like he's very experienced.
Don't forget the bass player. Spot, spot, spot on!
Bass player Perked my ears up and found the soul!
It's all about that bass!! Kickin it!
he is so perfect you dont even notice the construction of the song...
His name is Scott King and he is friggin awesome!
@@williammassey8514 A native of Virginia Beach, Scott began playing in his mid teens. He moved to Atlanta in his early twenties and began touring with former Ted Nugent singer Derek St. Holmes. He then moved to L.A and began a project with Aerosmith guitarist Rick Dufay. When this project failed to get off the ground, Scott moved to Nashville and toured with artists Daren Norwood, Paulette Carlson and Cheley Wright. His credits include tours with Martina McBride,Tammy Wynette, Molly Hatchett and even Joe Wals
This must be the 100th time I've listened to this classic F&F performance of Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. It is still amazing every time.
Maybe 200th for me! I wonder if most of the folks in that facility realized what greatness they were listening to LIVE??? Love these guys' instrumentals and voices.
NEVER get tired of this!!!!
I often come back to this performance to see the group's humble beginning. It sure was a beacon of other great things to come.
I keep getting pulled back to this video, time after time.
I’m going on about 20 times at the moment. This still blows my mind!! It’s beyond excellent!!
I'm still watching in late 2023. Dar and Scott...so awesome...everyone!
Who's listening June 2020 and StIlL amazed @ this rendition -- ...sing the song ....

Didn’t realize how great this was until I plugged in the earbuds and cut down the top end a little. The bass comes through loud and clear and it totally makes this version. Great job by Scott
Incredible musician….
First time listen for me on this one. NOBODY covers this song. Because it's TOO DAMN HARD to do it right. These guys not only did it right; they KILLED IT! Incredibly tight band. I am subscribing NOW!
Agreed..
@@Ed30675 Heck, The Mustangs covered Penny Lane! --th-cam.com/video/vX8nzZYwfw8/w-d-xo.html Also amazing. See how many of them you know already!
killed it is an understatment
braovo!!!
it's the guitar part that's hard.
Thank you,Scott for deciding to join this little group almost 12 years ago, for coming up with a good name, (Tim's 'Beauties and Beasties' was indeed lame) thank you for bringing joy to many many thousands of fans with your fantastic bass playing, and your always friendly and kind interactions with fans. Thank you so much for everything, you will be greatly missed and fondly remembered thru all these videos by countless more people than you'd ever imagined at the time. Rest in Peace.
No greater player of the Bass guitar ever slung one around his neck! I wish I met him just so I could have shaken the hand that brings absolute rhythym and joy to all of us
Quite an undertaking guys and gals. Never in my 68 short years have I heard a better cover! You should all be extremely proud.
Thanks for the opportunity to listen to this jewel!
Make sure U Sub
@@Brucev7
Subbed years ago. Can’t get enough of this incredible music! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
That is a STUNNING cover of a very difficult song.
Would you believe this was the very first song the group ever sang together, the first time they ever got onstage together?
@@StuartMStrickland Wow, are you serious? Amazing! Kind of like CSN at Woodstock!! (well, their 2nd gig) 😎
@@lisadc4681 And they had named the band only nine seconds earlier. There's continuous video of the whole concert.
@@StuartMStrickland wow. That is really remarkable.
Holy shit. I gotta be honest, I wasn't expecting a whole lot outta this video when I clicked on it. Within 30 seconds, my breath was literally taken away. I had to pause it and breathe for a minute. Those vocals sound better live than the originals did in studio. That's next to impossible.
3.3 million views was a hint. I've been listening to this for years,never gets old. First song they ever performed in public. Watch the bass player at the very end. He knew they nailed it. Welcome to a channel with the the best cover songs you've ever heard.70 on the list here (click on their round picture above)
True. The first song of the first set of the first time the group ever got onstage. Tim (in center, speaking) had a semi-pro band for many years, but only a few weeks before this, got together with his youngest daughter Sammie (checkered dress) and Maggie whom they knew from their church, and put together an experiment featuring the girls that they thought would be a one-time-only event. This was the result. They recorded it for posterity, then found out the mics and instruments could be synced to the video for a professional sound. Twelve of the 20 songs they did that night are here on this channel. But this was what they did for the first number.
@@StuartMStrickland i wish I could hear them all.
@@davidvogel6359 Tim stated on their Patreon channel that the others will eventually see the light of day.
I thought the same thing! CSNY weren’t this tight live.
This is the song that introduced me to this wonderful group of musicians! I can't bypass it anytime it comes up in my feed. I have to watch it. Thanks to F&F for giving us all such great music!
Just have to add, Scott King's driving the train with that awesome bass.
There are no words to describe how amazing this is. These 2 high school girls singing with two older men (One is the father of one of the girls) and they absolutely nail one of the most complex songs ever performed live. Even Stephen Stills got one verse wrong at Woodstock, but they didn't miss a beat here. When I was in college we figured out this tuning on the guitar and how to play this, but we could never have pulled this off anything close to this. I hope they become famous because they deserve it.
lol blaming stephen for getting a verse wrong at woodstock. grow up man. these cats did a good job but i saw CSN perform a few years ago and they seemed like they were too old to even pick up their instruments yet they still jammed out a 3 hour set. legendary group.
@@Far2ManyDrugs I have always loved CSN since my high school days (1970) Heck, if CSN never wrote and sang this song, these people could not have covered it. That being said, I had the album and had about memorized the song by the time I saw the Woodstock movie. Stephen covered his mistake so well (along with David and Graham) and sang the second line of the correct verse. I would have never even realized it was a mistake if I hadn't learned the song so well.
Truly an amazingly talented and joyful band. Everything they do,seems, to me anyway, to be gold. I’m totally addicted.
High School! Wow, so much talent. Impressive. Took me years before I heard this song sober.
@@kevincummins2752 Their first song of the night, the first time they ever performed in public as a group. Has anyone, anywhere, anytime, ever pulled off something like this, and succeeded so well?
My GOD this was an absolutely EPIC way for them to introduce themselves to the world. Easily one of the best covers of any song ever recorded, and it's an insanely difficult song to pull off! It takes real balls to even attempt this song at all, and they freaking OPEN their very first gig with it after only a couple of practices? WTF were they thinking!?!?!? And then they absolutely KILLED it like this? I'm hardly a professional musician, but I've played in a few bands and this performance would be impressive if they had been playing together for years. For them to do this right out of the gate is just insane! The people who were lucky enough to witness this were in the presence of true greatness and had no idea. And we know this wasn't a fluke because they have done so many incredible covers since then. This performance is truly jaw dropping.
Tim found the original recording and we'll get to hear it in much better sound quality than TH-cam on their next album coming yet this summer.
Don’t know about you folks, but I’m watching and enjoying in 2020!
james arriola 2021!
I am here
Mark Bresnahan if you like these folks look up Leonid and friends they do Chicago covers if that is you have not already discovered them! Never really a Chicago fan till I they found me . Lol! Enjoy my friend, enjoy.
2/19/2020 & lovin every F&F cover so far.
26 Feb. 2020
It takes a ton of guts to try to pull this one off. It takes a ton of talent to do a better job than CSN live. One of the best cover performances ever. Talent overload.
They did a great job, but lets keep it real!
No, he's right. They blow the doors of this one!
Is this as good as the vinyl studio cut - no. But compare it to the live CSN performances on youtube and I think F&F is better.
Yeah, you got to remember that this is the first song of their first ever public performance . . . and the girls are only 15 and 16 here.
Whoa! Many of us didn't know this until now.
Tim Purcell's love of the music, his contagious enthusiasm, his pride in his daughter and the band, is effervescent. He's the heart of this phenomenal band!
He had finally got the chance to build a band around a group of great singers instead of the usual lead singer with instrumental guys who sang backup ok.
That fact that these guys would even think of taking this on in a live setting speaks volumes about their musical chops. And then to simply knock it out of the park, well....stunning!
First song of their first public performance.Huge list of great cover songs since.(click on the round pic above)
@@lynwessel2471 The Foxes and Fossils certainly set the bar high - for not only EVERYONE else, but for their own group as well. So far, no disappointments, and I can't imagine there will ever be.
I, Lyn, like you, have been here since the beginning and I'm blown away every time I listen.
@@wagonmaster1974 They may well have topped this one in popularity with last nights offering.
@@lynwessel2471 Maybe. Anytime the group covers a CSN song, it is magic.
That being said, the fan base is much bigger, as of yesterday, which may have something to do with the popularity. You have to admit - Suite Judy Blue Eyes is the toughest CSN they have covered, to date. Still sets the standard for cover songs and bands. Hard to beat.
As stated, no disappointments, but SJBE was the first song publicly performed and it was suite perfection!
@@wagonmaster1974 Carry On with its dissonant harmonies is much more difficult to sing correctly because the right notes are "wrong" according to normal harmony, vs Sammie and Maggie just doubling Grahams part on Suite.
The original CSNY was studio recorded these guys are live with an extraordinarily difficult song. The live version of CSNY isn't nearly as good as these guys. How could anyone give them a thumbs down, that's crazy. Very good and well done F&F.
I've CSN live once, and that was enough. Not impressed. I'd love to see these guys live.
People who give this a thumbs down have jealousy issues or some other emotional problem.
Just so you know young wasn’t actually part of this song but you are right it’s a fantastic cover I love it and is on one or my go to play lists
The first time CSN did it live that was recorded was at Woodstock. First song F&F sang live was right here.
here we go on the thumbs down again 🥱
For God's sake, somebody turn off the dam TVs; there's a top notch performance going on here!
Frank Carlone Right?!
I've played in bars where the televisions were left on. They are distracting, but if the band is good enough, people stop watching the tube. These folks were more than good enough.
@@N1inSK Agreed, but really, any establishment that puts a sporting event on television screens while hosting entertainment isn't committed to their music act. I've seen more clubs fail because of this than any other kind of mismanagement.
Clean lines. Bass player is a boss.
@@les4767 That's a good point. I don't go to a lot of clubs or bars, so I'll have to believe you are correct.
The bar I used to play in is no more; but it's in a hotel, and they seem to change the name and theme regularly.
But Frank is right; that there is one awesome, version of a great tune. You did it justice, my friend!
Thank God they record this.....
Very good point! We have to thank the friend (sorry, can't recall his name) who wanted to develop his video recording skills, and captured these magic events to the eternal gratitude of us all
@@bengrillet Mr Terry Heinlien. Watch for Maggie's dad running the camera to the left in the audience 7:41
The on stage look at each other during a song when you know you're nailing it is prevalent in Maggie's eyes. Facial expressions are priceless. 11 years ago! WOW
Sammie has it too!
At the very end you see Scott yell "Yeah!" at Darwin. Scott almost turned down playing with them, he had thought it might be "kinda silly and a waste of time"(Apparently he hadn't heard those girls sing together) .I believe he just rehearsed the show once with them.
@@lynwessel2471 Hi, Lyn! Some listeners may not know that it was Scott who “renamed” the band Foxes & Fossils during this concert. The gals LOVED the name! A stroke of genius....thanks, Scott! This was also the F&F first concert together. History was made that night!
@@lynwessel2471
Scott said that?- for shame Scott!- for shame!😆
@@richardmiller2313 Scott said it. On the Join Patreon video he said that they asked him after rehearsing a few times if he would join them and he said he did it because of long time friendship with Tim. Says now he couldn't imagine his life without F&F. He added so much to the songs,without him it may well have been the only show as was originally intended.(Edited it, should have made that more clear.)
I can't believe this is 10 years ago and I am just discovering this phenomenal band. I hope they are still together. Foxes and fossils rule.
Still doing studio recordings as they live in 4 different states. Click on their round picture above for 70+ excellent cover songs.
I can not express how good this cover is. simply amazing in 2019
Hands down the best cover of this song on the Internet.
I am always astounded at the talent, the harmony, the good vibes... Everything. They all seemed to take it so casually this is one of the tightest vocal groups I've ever heard I really like these folks.
Bless my soul thanks delightful rendition of excellent song.
agreed! can't believe I haven't run across this already
it is the best one I've ever heard
if you are about to watch this for the first time. stop whatever can distract you, just prepare to get blown away for about 11 minutes of OMG
Although it may be difficult to really focus and listen to anything other than the amazing vocal performances in this video, the job Scott King delivers on Bass in this video is absolutely astounding.
ASTOUNDING, absolutely....
Kevin Bruington The bass is what I zeroed in on. Amazing. Took me a few seconds to realize how wonderful the vocals are.😂
Agreed.
Nailed it!
I heard it all at once. They did a fabulous job.
There should thousands cheering that performance. I just found this group today, and I can’t get enough.
There are thousands cheering this group everyday, just not all in one spot.Over 100k views per day at times.
welcome to the world of F&F. Put your headphones and enjoy all the great music this band has created
This morning for me. Lots of memories with this song. Judy Collins was on the same plane when I flew from JFK to SF to catch my flight to Vietnam in 68. She was in 1st class. Obvious where I was going with gold bars on my class A’s. Those blue eyes looking at me.
They were singing
at a beach side bar restaurant in Florida.
They were a great band,and played cover songs.
The girls are sisters,and then the fossils were dad,and uncles.
Glad you found them.
Sad how people that don't sing have no clue how difficult it actually is.
When the people in the audience don't realize they are in the presence of greatness....
Listening for the third time in as few months.... .
‘Melodic’ harmony...like it’s from heaven!
@@michelleharkness7549 isn't this what music should sound like.
...until they find themselves in a video on TH-cam that's been viewed nearly 3 million times. I've lost count of how many times I've returned to watch this video. Such a great act!
yes!I do realise ..just I would express my feelings much better in french;but as long as we do listen.....
Update, from a Rumours of Fleetwood Mac comment section:
"You know when a tribute band has hit the target spot on. It is when you play their version more often than the original. Foxes and Fossils manage to do the same with their CS&N covers. You just can not beat good quality live music."
Nobody can dispute that CSNY excelled in delivering nearly perfect harmonies. I have to say that F&F either matches or exceeds CSNY performances. The instruments and vocals are flawless.
You guys are tackling an anthem, and you have done it justice...respect.
anthem is the word.
@ 'Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind'
th-cam.com/video/_VcswhBy9tk/w-d-xo.html
this song lives long time
No disrespect to Crosby Stills Nash & Young, but this is the best rendition of their song ever. This is the version that best does their song justice.
Uh, DAVE NC - CSNY had nothing to do with this song. It was LITTLE BIG TOWN’S breakout debut recording.
Moonbeamchaos what are you talking about? Stills wrote it and CSNY performed it decades before...
Okay, let's set the record straight once and for all time. Dave NC is partially right; CSNY had nothing to do with this song. It was CSN, Neil Young was not involved. Little Big Town???
It might if the bass player followed his conscience and not play at all.
The song doesn't need the bass but if it were to be, I'd arrange the bass so it doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. A bass arrangement that compliments the singing and NOT a drum kit that IS NOT THERE.
@@muddypool7537 there’s bass in the original song.
With todays passing of Crosby, I felt an urge to watch this incredible tribute to CSNY. Goodbye Croz! Thank You! You'll Never Be Forgotten. RIP
Let me know what Mr. Stills has to say. Graham Nash wrote me to say he loved it!
And he should know...Great job guys and gals such energy and fun .......you a a very talented bunch !!
All I meant was... I feel band members should display a positive rapport on stage which shows they enjoy playing music together, and that everyone is happy to be there and they all get along. This sends a positive and relaxed vibe to the audience as well which ties in to the entire watching & listening experience. As far as your song goes... it is one of the best covers of this song I have ever heard. It is as good as the original by CSN.
No greater complement than that.
Graham seems like such a good guy with a huge heart.
AWESOME!!! I'm a huge CSN/CSNY fan from way back, and this band is the BEST, closest-to-the-REAL-THING!! I've ever heard!!! Great job! And please, KEEP MAKING US SMILE WITH YOUR GREAT VOICES AND MUSIC!
Here's a song approximately 50-years old that still is moving in itself. Then it it re-invigorated by these very talented young vocalists/performers. That's the power of the best music ever recorded and performed. I give the highest accolades to these performers and once more proclaim the songs of the sixties and seventies to be simply the most sublime music ever created.
Naturally I love Maggie and Sammie, but the fossils are so solid on this cover. Bow down you mortals!
I hope those people appreciated the genius they just witnessed!
Pretty good chance they did. Everyone in the audience was personally invited to the show by the two girls or the man in the middle.
Only top pros could pull off this one so perfectly. Done! Beyond mesmerized....
First song , first public performance of the group.
I return to watch and listen to this every month or so. On headphones you properly hear that sublime bass line providing the honeycomb for the structure, while the band leader holds the melody line and performs filler and counter strums on off-beats, and the girls flawless with their tight soaring harmonies adding bright dimension overall. An astonishing performance of inspired quality born of application, endless rehearsal and granite talent.
First song, first public performance. Tim worked with the girls quite a bit for the 20 song show, Darwin ( left) came over 4 times and Scott (right) rehearsed with them once. Professional musicians and 2 exceptionally talented girls (and quick learners) age 15 and 16 at the time. A fun one-off winter project that turned into a 'youtube band' with 87,000,000 views
Perfectly said, Skyline Runner
@@lynwessel2471 Thank you for the background to this amazing performance. Frankly I'm blown away that they opened the set with this song, and not some easier ones to warm up with, and I love that they had the foresight to ensure the sound was recorded properly, plus multiple cameras to capture it, instead of the usual shakey camcorder with poor sound. As you say, it was a fun, one-off show, but clearly somebody decided they wanted a decent record for posterity and memories. The talent and experience of each person onstage is readily apparent, especially the bass player (one rehearsal? wow!) who helped keep a challenging song on track. Apart from one vocal timing hiccup by the guitarist (understandable, as he was also replicating all those complicated acoustic riffs by Stephen Stills) who rallied brilliantly a second later, this was truly epic. Thanks again for your informative post, Lyn. You're the cat's meow 😀
@@txcatlady Thank you for that, Kathy. You made my day!
@@skylinerunner1695 Tim wanted it recorded for a keepsake,he always recorded quality audio of his bands so he could listen for anything they could do better. He posted these videos on YT so his brother in California could watch them. For years hardly anyone else watched them except Suite kept steadily gaining views. 8 1/2 years later it reached 1 million and YT started to recommend the channel more and more...
Can't believe it's been ten years since I was sitting there listening to this in GA..and then I find it on the internet!..a wonderful smile filled night.
Those who were in the room to watch this hold a special place in fans' hearts. Please tell more about how the night unfolded!
@@StuartMStrickland Went to meet friends not knowing any music was being played that night..never heard of foxes and fossils..lots of pizza and smiles later..never forgot them..only distraction was the owners left the tvs on..should have turned them off..
@@stuffyteddybare: You'd be amazed how many thousands of F&F fans would sell off prized possessions if they could go back in time and sit where you did on that night, Francis. How astonishingly lucky you were! No one could have heard of Foxes and Fossils, because they only agreed on the name just before stepping on-stage.
If you haven't found them yet, there are about 70 great videos on this channel, including some really wonderful studio recordings from the past few months. More treats and more smiles. Also: foxesandfossils.com
I love the moment at 7:32 when the band and vocalists all begin smiling -- except Tim, because he's busy singing -- because of the reaction of the audience to a perfectly performed classic.
I can imagine being dragged to a concert like this not knowing what to expect and then being blown away by the talent. Awesome rendition. Truly amazing.
They were friends and family there to see what local musician Tim had come up with this time!This is the very first song of their first public performance.Came up with the band name onstage a few seconds earlier.Huge list, 10 years of great stuff on this channel( click on their round pic above)
