The first time I heard this song, I cried... "Do we find the cost of freedom buried in the ground, mother earth will swallow you, lay your body down..." This song and lyrics epitomises the absolute senselessness of war... Was THE best protest song of all time... Is my favourite CSN&Y song... Capture the senselessness of war from Civil war to the then Vietnam call-up... If you don't get the message just listen to the salient words... Fallout of WW1 & 2 was horrific... My father became a functioning alcoholic due to his experiences endured... South Africa, Rhodesia, South West Africa, Mozambique squirmishes were on the go... My young brother was in Oshakati... supposedly 'on the border' (Angola)... Cannot beat the shenanigans of politicos, the egotistical macho grey matter involved... Not to mention lucrative weaponry manufacturing involved... I heard of some American group involved in selling weapons to the Viet Cong whilst war was raging against their own countrymen...!!! In Cape Town, there were some Vietnam 'draft-dodgers' plus some Aussies who were also drafted to Vietnam and parents didn't want them dead... (never hear of their involvement only Americans)... Cape Town and SA in general was going through it's own personal war as Apartheid bully boys (Nationalist Nazis) were in full power mode... Man's inhumanity to his fellow man and woman and child... Love never fails... Jesus's words - gave his perfect life for all of mankind which no politician would ever do... They get everyone else's sons (and daughters now) involved but never themselves! When will we ever learn...
I had to listen to this old CSN&Y tune on Memorial Day as a tribute to " . . . .all the brave soldiers who cannot get older". Over 1.5 Million over our history. Thank you for my freedom - Rest In Peace.
It is so amazing how effortlessly they can sing such incredibley beautiful harmonies. Additionally, I love the way Crosby lays down his low harmony - so understated yet, brilliant.
Actually, David Crosby sings all the high parts in their songs.. Listen to him accompany Jackson Browne when he did "Something Fine".. David Crosby has the ultimate high Tenor voice with perfect, well rounded tone, and the best and used correctly, vibrato..
@@frandanco6361 That's not accurate; he's seldom on top (he is in Teach YC), he's usually in the middle, and occasionally below Stills. Nash is usually the highest part in harmonies
This is stunning music. Guitars, voices, harmony, lyrics, emotion all wrapped up in an insane version. I have heard many versions and this is just extraordinary. Wish such gigs were around, would never miss it. To watch it on vid is fabulous.
Long and lost tragedies of war recalled by partners who knew that one day in OHIO. The cost of war in a democratic world? Hopeful lyrics of inspiration seen and lived and remembered well because of music.
@@linjicakonikon7666 I'm sure if you read the lyrics and pay some attention to the meaning between the lines as well , you'll figure it out. That is, if you are intelligent enough. It's not my job to make like a social studies teacher and lead you through it line by line. You must be an adult by now, not? And you did go to school, did you not?
Steve and the guys at their best. Managed to catch Mannasis at wembley Steve was on another level, what a great set of musicians ! Im still in Johnny Garden
I'm more a fan of Neil Young, but Stephen Stills is an incredible artist. Buffalo Springfield, with Neil, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Manassas, Stills-Young Band Long May You Run. His first 2 solo albums, Stills and Stills 2 and Just Roll Tape recorded in april 1968, which gives you a glimpse of some bare acoustic demos which would end up to being some of his best work. Great to see Neil and Stephen trading licks
In the gorgeous studio recording, Art Garfunkel sat in for an "unavailable" David Crosby. Garfunkel provided the best harmonic contribution in the history of CSN/Y
Sends chills through my soul and tears down my face. As a veteran I can appreciate the beauty and the sorrowful tragedy of life lost. I can only say, let's end the senseless killing of all human beings everywhere. There is nothing to gain from killing people and everything to gain with peace and love.
To Every Veteran Who Fought In A Combat Zone In Vietnam: THANK YOU for your dedication, your sacrifice, your bravery. 58,220 truly understand "the cost of freedom." REPLY
Lose? We didn't lose. Abandoned perhaps. Marginalized absolutely. Trivialized and reviled most assuredly; but we didn't lose. Policy, politics, and public opinion made the war untenable for the US and the world. For those on the ground and in the skies of Southeast Asia, they lost their innocence, they lost their friends and comrades, and somewhere along the way, they lost themselves. There was nothing to win in Vietnam and no way to win it; hindsight being what it is. One had but to look at the history of the country and failure of the French to know and understand how it would turn out. And for their effort and sacrifice, they were shunned, spit upon, ignored, and demonized. Despite that, we won every major battle, operation, and campaign in Southeast Asia. They did what was asked of them while being held in contempt by the nation that sent them. So I don't see how it is you think "they" lost.
First time I heard this song, Viet Nam was still going on and on. Gave me goosebumps, and I cried. Obviously written about the civil war, but relevant to any age. A truly beautiful song
Given the absolute deplorable scenario playing out in today’s political environment, I am reminded of what John Quincy Adams said in Amistad, and IF this means civil war, then let it come and may it truly be the last battle of the American Revolution.”
Must have been when Crosby was released from the Texas Department of Corrections after doing a two year bit for possession. Texas cut his hair off when he arrived there. Crosby relays the story as Texans not being terribly impressed with him or Rock "n' Roll. When he arrived to serve his time within the Texas prison system he was greeted with "Well now....Rock Star!! Have a seat right here and we'll get that trimmed right up for ya"! :-)

When will we ever learn...
There will always be Hitler types. Not up for his kinda world.
Battle of the Buldge swallowed my Uncle, his son after 3 years in Vietnam…ruined. Fuck the egos that lead to war.
Damn. I wish some new acts would pop up like these guys. Damn.
Aww, there is only one of these guys❤.
Can’t! IMPOSSIBLE!
In school, public school, we learned a lot of folk music songs, and songs of the time. This is one that should be part of curriculum in schools.
I agree📚🖊🖍🕊
So cool! Folk here in ARG is horrible
So much that matters more than u know. Today 2/16/24 we forget the meaning of this song.
You are fortunate! ❤ I agree this is a song that should be included in school curriculum. ☮️💟

Yes, and Stills and Young play off each other so well
A truly beautiful and haunting song.

FANTASTIC SONG! CLASSIC! ONE OF MY FAVORITES OF ALL TIME!
One of the best acoustic dueling between Stills and Young!!
Con una chitarra scordata!! 🙃
Nice seeing (and hearing) Neil doing harmonies with CSN at the end of the song, and he can really do them that's for sure
Great Upload, Thx
my lifeline is connected to these harmonies....when they cease to exist, so will I
Great song with so much meaning. 😀 Rest in peace David.
Really? What's the meaning?

Magical each time I hear this song and CSNY..
God to see these guys play together again for one more time! 😊❤️
Ahhh the music of my youth.
Love this lion. My heart skipped a beat the first time he sang. 1966 Maybe before.
Fablous.

didn't they lose that one though?

Amazing, one of the best performances ever

🎼RIP🎶 David Crosby❤🎵.
Sometimes it's our flaws that make us beautiful.
Fablous
this 4 csn&y were good combination to one by one
Love it!!!
It´s the first time in my life I see Crosby without long hair !!!!!!
I think he was just out of prison (which is says no doubt saved his life). We're glad of it.
RCROSSH yes , it’s his just out of prison look.
@@lisamoroney3036 Yep - Bridge School benefit show - late 1986
1987-08-07, Shoreline Amphitheatre, Mountain View, California, USA
Thanks for the date man!
Why is Crosby's hair short?
Very touchy feely.
Thank you for saying his upload.🥰
Awesome.
Legends.
Can't believe my supergod stills has a flat 1st string. Doesn't matter. He's fucking incredible.
That was Young with the flat note.
Chills!!
Powerful. And still true.
I was a Democrat when Kent state happen . A sad day then we got OHIO. A time of protest. To bad our College Universities have changed.
What does being a Democratic have to do with anything ?
@@juniorjohnson5961 Democrat party now is not what it's use to be . They need to change the name to American Marxist Party .
@@chuckschenck3045😂😂😂😂😂 US Democrats are centre right compared to European political parties. About as Marxist as Trump!
Memories..
Lovely mood

Freaking classic. ...
Chills.
graham and cosby great hormonies
I'm singing this for Choir... It's interesting - They don't do a bad job at it :P
The ways an how's yourself flights is only to win your freedom.

1 year. Overturned on appeal eventually.
@@melissa9375Didn't he get 5 years but was released after a few months? Or is my memory slipping?

Awesome
I dig things u that watch was said
What year was this done? I've never seen CROZ with short hair! Love the recording!
It was done the year he got out of jail..That's the reason for the short hair.. :)
Is this from the Welcome Home Veterans" Concert in DC? First time I saw them... Croz had just gotten out of jail and looked just like this.
5 god guitarists
David Crosby's harmony is missing here... But still beautiful...
^yerry good
Song starts at 1:09.
brilliant
And that is how to play and sing live. First CSN song I knew in school 40+ years ago and still as poignant and relevant
David just got out of jail. Still had the short hair.
He has short hair here because he had only been released from Prison in texas a few months earlier!
Looks like David Crosby just got out of jail…haircut…
They said they lera
Thank fukk for Steve Stills is all i can say,,,,,,
Daylight again and find the cost of freedom are different songs though. This is both, it is titled wrong. great song though, thanks for putting it up.
Daylight again contains find the cost of freedom. So no sorry but you are wrong.
@@sacredgeometry That part. Thanx for straightening that out.
Oh yeah Neil's there
Truth

Croz was fresh outta jail not long before this was filmed..he looks so strange with short hair lol
What, no gutair
Graham they are actually tuning down to double drop d.
Hate to say it (guess he felt rushed) but Neil never got it's first e string quite to D :/
4 makes a whole
Never seen him with short hairs.
😊
jammer niet goed gestemt verder te gek!
I miss 12-string guitars….
@stanleyg64 absolutely timeless, sad.
