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?
& they're still great!
@@tdswift4172Bet they're on net; contact & ask!
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.
It is November 2024 and I am still listening to F&Fs versions of songs I grew up with. They are amazingly talented musicians.
Right there with you
i can't believe Sammi is 30 !!....
@@theunclehogshowwithterrydShe will be Dec 2nd. Maggie is 31.
A me too moment
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!
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.
Bella’s Pizza Bar and Grill, Smyrna GA
@@yhn1incGood chance half the audience was not familiar with the song. Everyone there was personally invited by one of the girls, who are only 15, 16, here. Parents along for the ride.
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.
Christmas 2024 and still listening! 2-3 times a month.
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.
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 😜
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!
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!
exactly....
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.
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!!
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!!
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.
All were excellent but the bass player deserves a standing ovation.
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!!!
I'm still watching in late august 2024... and i'm 70 years old ! Soul loves music .
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
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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 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!
This deserves a re-listen today. RIP David Crosby.
My thoughts exactly brother.
@@livinginvancouverbc2247 These guys are so good and now a great tribute.
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
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!
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.
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!
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...
Man, I would have been standing and clapping for the whole performance.
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.
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.
RIP Scott. Your a terrific bass player and your performance here cemented your legacy.
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….
Hands down....best live cover of this song on TH-cam....maybe anywhere!
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.
Who's listening June 2020 and StIlL amazed @ this rendition -- ...sing the song ....
July 2020 in lockdown but STILLS amazed !
This is like 10 year's ago. Thats a guy singing with his daughter and their still singing now. How awesome is that what i would not give to be this guy
Is there anyone who is not?
@@susan3588: No one I've ever met. If listening to this doesn't blow you away, you just don't like classic rock.
@@dougsalzmann2752 classic rock is my middle name and then Electric rock is my next name and then classical music is my next name and it goes on from there
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!!
I have watched this many, many, many times.
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
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!!
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
It's December 2024, and I'm still listening to this Classic! ❤
You and about 1000 others per day...
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
I am listening to this in 2025 just once again and I just wanted to send my Best to Scott’s Family as well as his Foxes and Fossils for moving forward in Scott’s musical Family! Always, Neal in Boston! RIP Scott! 🙏
The girls had no idea how big they would become!! This band can do NO wrong!!
A typical awesome bass player, "I'm just standing here in the back, minding my own business, playing and absof*ckinglutley KILLIN it!!!!
@Patrick Carey Thats Scott "KILLIN IT" King!
Killed it, stuffed and mounted it.
yepper, bass player killed it. I'm a bass junkie. He's cool.
@@HistoryRocksMuse doin what good bass players do.
The bass line MAKES this song
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.
I'm still watching in late 2023. Dar and Scott...so awesome...everyone!
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
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!)
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.
This performance never gets old. So well done! 3 instruments and 4 voices exploding in luscious harmonies. ❤
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.
This is absolutely ASTONISHING. I am listening in 2022 and absolutely WEEPING. I cannot believe the sheer perfection. 🥰🥰🥰
Entire channel of nearly 100 excellent cover songs here. They are still posting regularly 12 1/2 years later. (Click on the F&F logo for their complete video list.)
plot twist: Kira has mental health issues.
@@dumpyd its an amazing thing, isnt it!
@@bsdgffishtuna5186 What, exactly, is your problem? I responded emotionally to something beautiful and transcendent. You see fit to be snide and nasty? I don’t think this is a “me/mental health” problem.
@@kirathomsen-cheek9834 But you are judging me now as snide and nasty?? So only you get to judge people. Thats pretty fascist of you.
IMHO This is not only the best cover of this song... This is the best cover of any song I've ever heard. They captured the magic of this song like Steven Sills did when he wrote it.
th-cam.com/video/squUspb3veg/w-d-xo.html
I agree!
@Anthony Marks That one was downright impressive. With the members of Led Zeppelin right there so moved by their rendition. (Graham Nash did say in an interview once that F& F's Suite was his favorite cover of a CSN song)
@Anthony Marks I had seen other requests for them. Maggie couldn't match Judith, but Maggie doesn't need to match anyone .I think she'd do it best, but Chase is very good at mimicking other singers voices.We've just begun to hear the range of her capabilities. Like anything else F&F does it would honor the original and be a little different at the same time. With their female harmonies, I think they could be an excellent fresh take on Seekers songs. I'm sure it's somewhere on Tim's list. "So many songs, so little time" - Tim Purcell
@Anthony Marks After following them for 7 years, I've learned to never underestimate this bunch They love a challenge. When they played live, they had one big rehearsal at the beginning of summer, after that just showed up and performed.
Wow, the acoustic guitarist was awesome. The rest of the group were also fantastic in this performance of the CSN No.1 hit.
Time after time after time, i keep coming back to this recording.
It is THE best live performance of this wonderful song.
👏👏👏👏👏
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.
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?
This is the song that turned me on to this phenomenal group of musicians. They have just gotten better with every song. Exceptional artists.
You guys are tackling an anthem, and you have done it justice...respect.
anthem is the word.

this song lives long time
This is an exceptionally complex arrangement. And this goosebump-inducing rendition also manages to capture the spirit of the age in which it was written. Like someone else commented about stumbling on this band on TH-cam: "it's like finding a Rembrandt at a yard sale."
Credit to @ Jennifer Small for one of the best comments on this channel!
It's like finding a copy of a Rembrandt at a yard sale that is better than Rembrandt's original.
Indeed!
@@fredgerken8095 I am, 65 and agree, this is more fun than the original, not sure why but lets just go with it.....
"...like finding a Rembrandt at a yard sale." That statement capture my feelings exactly. These musicians are simply fantastic! No wonder Graham Nash wrote to congratulate them on this rendition.
Has to be the best ever cover of this classic song! Absolutely nailed it. Lead guitar - amazing channelling of Steven Stills. Bass lines simply the best. Vocals superb. And I've been a CSN fan since Woodstock...
This was F&Fs first song they ever did in public. Not quite as many people there as Woodstock.
Who's still watching this 4 year old video? I am whilst reading "Ear Candy." Thank you Foxes and Fossils for sharing your gifts with us.
Fourteen years old... 1000 views every day.
How's about 14 year old vid?
And it's still brilliant
On a scale of 1 to 10 this performance rates a solid 11. I would definitely PAY to see this live!
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.
Only top pros could pull off this one so perfectly. Done! Beyond mesmerized....
First song , first public performance of the group.
14 years later and this performance still gives me goosebumps......
Man, you really play an excellent base line on this track! R.I.P. Scott
The harmony between these two ladies is awesome
Maggie Adams to the left, Sammie Purcell right. They doubled the high part on this one.
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.
I can't begin to describe the harmony, vocals & instrumentation this performance does to perfection.....WONDERFUL!!!!!!
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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Scott absolutely nails it on the bass. He totally drives this.
Stills played all the bass, organ, and lead guitar parts, as well as acoustic guitar on his own songs.
Agree, 100%.
The bass is amazing... I hear more of it each time I listen.
Scott is the secret weapon in F&F. He deserves way more recognition than he gets. Killer player.
Many times listening to this I just focus on the bassline and let it lead me through the song. It’s immersive.
You'll never get tired of listening to them perform this song. History will definitely remember them for this song. The beginning of a great band and group of people. Never change! You have recorded your place in history. Tim thank you! There is dead silence in the audience. They know they are hearing something so good that they are stunned.
Yeah... I agree. I'd be stunned too because I've never heard a band this good in person, and at a small venue like this no less. And I'm 67.
Helpfully, if anyone got bored, they could watch 60 Minutes in the background.
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
They got my 76 year old toe a taping. Great performance and its special to see todays youth love the same music we loved more than 50 years ago.
Thank You, Sir
George Humphrey, 50 Years, Surly this was only a couple of years ago,
Peter Newman / The original CSN version dates from 1969, this performance from 2010...
Yes, I am clever enough to know that. I,meant when the song first came out and when I was a hippy with long hair.
I'm 65 and I'm belting it out loud, and cats are looking at me like I'm crazy. They should be used to me by nowl, LOL. If only I had blue eyes.
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.
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.
Imagine sitting in this bar drinking a beer and this is performed. Nothing short of amazing!
(Bella's Pizzeria Smyrna GA)
I desperately want to go back in time, go there, take in this performance and turn those darn TVs off... lol
@@PocketAcesforRonPaul There probably is computer technology that you could paint the screens black on the video. It was recorded for a keepsake for them. No idea there would be hundreds of thousands of people watching it years later. It was intended to be their only show at the time.
@@lynwessel2471 I'm glad it ended up not being there only show, they've got great talent. I wasn't poking at the TV factor for my/our enjoyment of the video, I just find it disrespectful when someone it putting so much effort and talent into their craft and the venue can't turn off 60 Minutes so they have the undivided attention they deserve.
@@PocketAcesforRonPaul If you've watched more from the show,they were both turned off by after the fifth song of 20 . Maggie's dad was running the camera off to the left and he got them to turn them off.They should have been turned off at the start, Bella's pizza knew everyone was there to see their concert.
well now I'm listening again, in 2023 after many many listens. Never fails. Thank you.
Really wonderfull. Funny how the girls (who sing like absolute pitched angels) don't really seem to realise in what league they are actually singing. Maybe they were a wee bit too young to understand in that moment in time. But wheter it is about harmony, guitar skills or indiviual voices, this is real art. thank you... Big hug from Belgium.
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
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.
As a professional musician for 50 years AND super fan of CS&N since the very beginning, I was so thrilled to encounter this video. Wow - such precision and subtleties and downright fantastic performance. Great songs are always with us, especially when such talent brings them to life again.
This is probably the best cover I’ve ever heard. Simply unbelievable.
same here
Is not a cover , it is a tribute to CS&N . Beautifully done .
God put some people here....as u see
Honoured to be the 100th person to thumbs up this comment. I feel sorry for all the clueless sheeple who unwittingly believe that (C)Rap etc can be even remotely associated with MUSIC.
Almost better than the original. These people got some talent! A pure pleasure to listen to.
I have no words... just perfect!
At 5 am in Brazil.
This is the best this song has been sung since it was created. Many groups have tried and failed. You folks accomplished something special. Harmonies are heavenly! Don't EVER stop singing.
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...
