    The music of that era had a special poignancy and their sound with those amazing harmonies will never be duplicated. Neil Young’s guitar added an edginess that contrasted nicely with their mellow sound but it was his song writing that really elevated their stature. The song Ohio is one of the most powerful and culturally relevant ever written due to the extreme social turmoil of the time. Music will never have the relevance that it once had as a platform for commentary like it did then which is somewhat sad as music is simply a commodity nowadays.
    I watched them perform live back in 2006 probably for their last time and it was a pleasure to hear their wonderful singing and playing. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience.

      So true. But why? I can’t figure it. Cars, music, fashion, design, America’s space program... everything from 1966 to 1970 was outstanding. Today, we run around with paper diapers on our faces, drive emasculated cars, listen to repetitive, simplistic, boring music, wear politically correct clothes, and the magic and originality is gone. Quality vanished.

      I loved CSN without Neil. I've grown accustomed to his sound. But originally. i thot he was ugly n sang like his privates were in a vice grip. I was a more melody n harmony girl. I like him now way more than when he first came on scene. His writing n sound has grown on me...like Dylan...ugly n couldnt sing. But hes my idol now becuz of the memories his songs evoke for me. And his writing is stellar!

    damn straight. Neil Young can get more expression out of a single note (see Cinnamon Girl) than standard guitar gods can get out of a million notes played at a million miles an hour. I admire any guitarist who knows they should admire Neil's playing despite the lack of obvious 'technique'. The man knows that music is about feeling, not finger gymnastics. I saw him play live twice in Australia and it was unforgettable.

    Neil got along fine with the other members. But Neil is and always has been an incredibly unique and authentic individual. His unique individuality is the only reason he came and went. With every band or group of musicians he ever played with. BTW, Stephen Stills is the most underrated musician of his Era. Bar none.

      Steve B, Everyone is always claiming this one or that one is underrated. Steven Stills was part of the Super Session Record and he jammed with Hendrix. Personally, on the recordings with Neil, I like Neil more. Steven is the technically better guitarist but Neil is the Godfather of Grunge and the sound of him with Crazy Horse on say, Cowgirl in the Sand is just off the hook. He loved the power of the amps and was an innovator of using all the sounds, including feedback a la Hendrix. I think Stills may be underappreciated nowadays but I see comments on Led Zep videos people talking like they were there and how great they were, blah blah blah, Zeppelin live back in the day were often disappointing. Bonzo and Page liked their drugs and alcohol and often, the drugs didn’t like them.

      I AGREE! Neil was a ways better song writer, guitarist and vocalist, in that order. But even his guitar style remains very ragged, "staccato" and limited in approach to this day. On the other hand, he gets a lot of mileage out of old Fender Deluxe-style amps.

      @@coachhannah2403 Pardon? If you're saying that my description of Stills applies to Graham Nash, I would respectfully disagree. Nash, by his own account, plays guitar at a basic level, whereas Stills is well known to be a virtuoso on the instrument, and is highly proficient in many other instruments. Their debut album was engineered and crafted almost entirely by Stills. Indeed, Nash has stated that when the time came to tour live, they had to hire a band as Stills had played almost every instrument on the record. Yes Nash can sing and is adept at the high harmonies, but he is much like Art Garfunkel in that he is at best a strong suppport for a master songwriter and arranger, rather than possessing a strong engine of creative talent within himself.

    Love, love, these guys. Stephen and Neil were in Buffalo Springfield together. When asked why should Neil be allowed to be in CSN he said “have you ever heard Neil play guitar with me?” I think their instruments together has such a groovy sound. Always has been. This is so cool to look back. Their music and their voices are so pure. I have a large collection of their albums. My favorite is “4Way Street” which is live also. A true test of talent is performing live. And these guys had it.
    The man walking down the steps in the beginning is David Steinberg.
    He was a writer for The Smothers Brothers show and he also made appearances as a stand-up comic. This was a show in 1970 called The Music Scene that he hosted frequently. He was very hip as far as the music of those times.

    About 1985 I had just moved from the west coast to a suburb of Boston, alone. I heard a rumor that CSN was playing at this tiny fairground the next day, a hot August Saturday. I had no idea where this was, but I found out! I got to the little county fairground in Spencer, Mass just after noon. Sure enough, CSN was there! It was a $20 to get in, but once inside all 50 or so of us in attendance relaxed on the lawn, bought $3 beers and got to hear Crosby, Stills and Nash play for hours and hours! Neil Young wasn't with them. There is a a little-known recording studio nearby at which many big bands like the Rolling Stones have recorded. That's why CSN was in the area. I think the fairgrounds thing was practice for them. One of my best days!

      I doubt it. There was an explosion of novel songwriting, performance experiences, and production methods and techniques along with new technologies, a cultural revolution, and worldwide communications that had simply never existed before. So much music has been created at this point, that it just gets harder and harder to come up with something new. I was born in 1959 and I think the best years for music were the mid 50s to the mid 70s.
      There are really good musicians around these days, but they just don't stand out against history like the pioneers of modern music do.

      @@midi510 I agree. In the opinion of Graham Nash, the reason The Beatles - and not The Hollies and others - was the pre-eminent band of their day, was because they were so connected with the sexual revolution in the 60s. It was such a powerful fusion of entertainment and culture.
      The 80s was a great era as well. It was dominated with fine recording techniques in the studio (there was hardly an album made with bad recording quality) and it showcased such an eclectic suite of bands and musical genres.
      The 90s went all introverted and weird (to me), but there were still some great bands around like No Doubt and Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
      Since 2000, there has been a growth of more feminine singer-songwriters that simply would have had no chance of survival before 2000. They're still good, just softer and mostly less aggressive.

I feel like the band, especially the vocalist, is venting on me. I like music that gives me a sense of love, beauty, peace, excitement, eroticism, or adventure . I like the blues, to, but that's done in a way that expresses the singer's troubles without laying them on me. It's not my fault. With the 90s music, even if the words don't express it, the energy blames me for the singer's angst.

They were quite the pair on" Bluebird " Buffalo Springfield. Probably the 1st supergroup in rock. Another wonderful pick Brother Fil! A rather eclectic mix of personnel. A hippy, an acoustic guitarist with a folk stripe, an Englishman + a Canadian Indian. I'm certainly a fan of theirs!.....

A very cool feature of your analysis are your guitar demonstrations, which I take advantage of to learn the songs and play along. Soloing is out there somewhere.

    Stills & Young, with the Cowardly Lion in the middle, plus Graham Nash created some amazing music for my generation (and for all time I believe). I was never a fan of Young’s lead guitar playing, but what a fine song writer he was.
    David Crosby (imho) always has been a butt-hole of a human being - and still to this day has that horrendous mustache you could sweep your garage floor with. I wish it could have been Stills, Nash, Young, and just about anybody else.
    If you haven’t had a chance to watch the live performance of CSN&Y on the Tom Jones Show (TV show back in the late ‘60’s/early ‘70’s) it is really great, AND hilarious at the same time. Tom Jones fronts the band with his HUGE amazing voice and great moves, and Graham Nash also taking some solo ‘singing’ parts (actually you could call it “screeching”) with Jones looking like he’s trying not to laugh. (Makes me wonder if they raised the song by a whole step to accommodate Tom Jones’ voice range).
    CSN&Y and Tom Jones - what a mis-match!..... but somehow it still came off pretty well.
    And I have just one request unrelated to this video: Can you do (or already have done?) an analysis of Leslie West?

    It is inspiring that you single-handedly built your channel from the ground up. The interest that you take in researching the artists you feature attracts and holds our attention. Some of your reviews have made me cry (Richard Benson, Billie Holiday, Badfinger) some have left me awestruck by your thoughtfulness to detail (Led Zepplin's origins). And some analysis reviews are memorable for the pure joy and talent (The Righteous Brothers).
    You have a gift with your engaging delivery. And you have the skill to describe the lives behind the music. You dazzle us with your ability to demonstrate on your guitar what we just heard and, you have noticeably attractive energy. Always interesting. Great job. ☺️❤️🌟
