Amen, my friend, amen. I always loved his playing but Neil Young always seemed to over power his playing on CSNY Four Way Street. I give Stephen credit for always getting the best out of Neil whether it was CSNY or Buffalo Springfield.
My problem is that I seriously love the song, seemingly so much that I get choked up when I try singing along. I end up just quietly listening & playing the guitar chords on my air guitar! Good times! Awesome song & singer! Suzy Boggus does a killer rendition, as well! 👍
Her album version of this is absolutely the best version she or anybody else has done. The only person I think that has come close to a great performance of it is Suzy Bogguss.
Judy always did have the most pristine, precise, utterly beautiful vocal flourishes, but she really brings'em on in this version. Just sublime. What would y'all have thought if she'd done "Someday Soon" with Chris Hillman, Herb Pedersen, and the Desert Rose Band?
I have lived in the best of times! Best music, Best friends, Best cars, Best concerts, Best girl companions and lovers, Best food, Best schools and Universities, I have been very lucky and am humbled everytime I see and hear the strife and misery among my fellow citizens...Greed and unregulated capitalism will never win.
A few years ago I saw Judy and Stephen in concert, from right next to stage in the center. Judy can still sing. I’d never realized how good a guitarist Stills is.
Stephen was one of Jimi Hendrix’s favourite jamming partners. Jimi would play acoustic blues and Stephen would put on a clinic in folk-rock. Stephen also loved playing with Neil Young. Everyone else he just blew away.
I'm impressed by the understated Graham Nash one-man harmony backing oohs and aah. Perfect low-volume balance. Of course Judy's vocal is fantastic, definitely her best song.
She's just so darned beautiful. The Music, the Voice, the Eyes; where have all the years & the flowers gone. This all takes me back... riding my motor' down the Blvd. in Paris, one warm morning in May, so many years ago. Oh, I was a free man then.
The three people on this stage played the soundtrack of my youth. I have tears in my eyes and an open heart listening to this. This song, as sung by Judy Collins, is one of my favorites. Add Stephen to it, and I'm floating.
Indeed. The blend between Judy's voice and Stephen's style of playing, brings this performance to another level. The combination works quite well. Agreed! Another great solo from THE "one man band", himself! Stephen nailed the bridge!!
I'm assuming it wasn't always like this, but you could see genuine affection and admiration on their faces when Stills walked out on stage. Very wonderful to see that.
Rod-Her voice is still improving-listen to her tribute to her mother called "In the Twilight" from her live at the Metropolitan Museum of Art concert-Gorgeous and she's somewhere in her what. 70's?
@@Amp389lanG She worked hard when she was younger to train her voice with a professional vocal trainer. She still does vocal exercises- that's how she has kept that incredible voice.
She is outstanding but at 80 now does not hit the same high notes that she could 50 years ago (and who can!?). Saw her in concert w Stephen a few years back.
Just heard her 2019 in a small theater in Loveland Colorado. Her voice was actually better. Still pristine and clear but richer and more dimensional. She radiated Presence.
RSC3516 couldn't agree with you mote. Love Steve and all he had done but Judy was never a favorite of mine though I concede -she was talented Just not my type. Loved Steve, and Joni Mitchell, &most of his musical alliances with others👍😎
Years back I was emailing back and forth with Judy Collins about the prospect of doing a reprise of this album. At the time (late 1990s) all the original players were still alive and Judy said that our conversation had inspired her to do such an album with all the original musicians (James Burton, Stephen, Chris Ethridge, Jim Gordon, Van Dyke Parks, etc.). Judy told me that she had recently been writing country songs and they would fit perfectly into that album. Of course she would have had to perform another version of Someday Soon. As we know, it never came to pass, and sadly, we watched the backing musicians pass one by one. While Chris Ethridge died earlier, when Buddy Emmons died, that was the end of any hope she would pull this off. Love you Judy, wishing tho tha that you had followed thru on this project idea.
Judy by far covers this song better then anyone. Yes, I have heard other covers by well known singers and though there are some good ones, Judy takes it to an incredible outstanding level that surpasses all others. Also, others that I have heard have arrangements that I don't care for as well, even if the singer does a good job.
I love every song she ever song but one of my favorites was her cover of SUNNY GOODGE STREET by Donovan. I first heard this song sitting in the basement of Figaro's Cafe in the Village in 1967. What a time it was, it was.
Oh I really love this.....I once heard Ian Tyson say in an interview that he bought his ranch in Longview, Alberta from the royalties he got from JC's version of "Someday Soon". My family always called this song "Damned 'ol Rodeo".
FROM mic1emily: What can I say? To everything, turn, turn, turn. She was the best folk vocalist of her generation and she still is. thank you Judy. FROM rileysgirl: This is just so amazing. Suite Judy and Steve have again left me speechless. Thanks very much for uploading this, Betahifi. FROM neilemac: From the feet on my toes . . . to the head on my nose . . . THANKS!!!
Classic. First time I heard Suite: Judy Blue eyes was seeing the Woodstock movie. Hooked... Before that, I listened to her album Wildflowers. “Michael From Mountains” runs through my mind quite often.
Ian Tyson has been a favorite of mine since 1961. This song reflects his great talent. Suzy Bogguss also recorded this great song and Ian built a rodeo facility on his ranch from the royalties. Judy's version is as good as Ian or Suzy. All wonderful!
You should have seen Stills and Collins the two years they toured together. I sat in the second row in the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra hall .... It was so moving, I cried.
Someday Soon on Elektra Records was the first single I bought. Loved this song. Judy Collins sounds as good now as then. I didn't know about this performance until I ran into this here (from TH-cam recommendation after Send in the Clowns).
Amazing=I am blessed to have been through the 60s-just one great song after another almost everyday--the music was flowing.Seems in recent years the music has stopped--Love Judy one of the best voices of that era and stephen Sills great guitar and his singing partners the root of much of the music of the day
Great. Thanks for this. 1990, I think? Interesting to compare it with her original 1969 version. Plus the 1986 recording with Ian & Sylvia. There are some notable variations in the melody. I've been looking at many of your Judy Collins videos here on youtube and realising what a proficient, gifted musician she is - yes, remarkable voice, remarkable singer, but remarkable all-round musician too. (That is also detectable in the Antonio Brico film.)
FROM mthivier: Wonderful video, thanks for posting! Judy is remarkable. She is one of the few women performers from that time frame whose career continued through the decades to the 1990s and 2000s, and who STILL sounds as good now as she did then! FROM rahlgren: She is unbelievably beautiful, with an unbelievable beautiful voice.
I certainly remember the first time I ever heard Suite Judy Blue Eyes. It was the fall of 1969. I had just bought something in the Casper, WY K-Mart which was piping a local radio station though the store intercom system. As I was walking toward the exit I the intro to SJBE and the lyrics, "It's getting to the point that I'm no fun anymore," stopped me dead in my tracks.
Ty so much. Pure magic. My favorite female singer singing my fav. song of hers whilst playing with my no1 guitar virtuoso (which I saw live many times and even whispered in his ear... ;).... what a treat. Thank you kindly.
This video is proof that Stephen Stills is an influential, yet often uderrated, guitarist.
Amen, my friend, amen. I always loved his playing but Neil Young always seemed to over power his playing on CSNY Four Way Street. I give Stephen credit for always getting the best out of Neil whether it was CSNY or Buffalo Springfield.
Golly, the hair stood up on the back of my neck to hear that voice clear as a bell over 40 years later. What a gift, what a lady!
My problem is that I seriously love the song, seemingly so much that I get choked up when I try singing along. I end up just quietly listening & playing the guitar chords on my air guitar! Good times! Awesome song & singer! Suzy Boggus does a killer rendition, as well! 👍
Can't agree more! Sweet!
3 of folk rock's royalty- gave many a warm feeling ...
@@Beezlie727 Suzy does a good cover of Judy Collins song, but nothing original. Judy Collins version is better
Her album version of this is absolutely the best version she or anybody else has done. The only person I think that has come close to a great performance of it is Suzy Bogguss.
You know you're old when you can remember when all that music came out. Crosby, Stills and Nash.
I'm 81 and this is the only music I listen to
Yep, I'm that old
best music ever:)
Judy Collins? PERFECTION AT Her BEST!
Judy always did have the most pristine, precise, utterly beautiful vocal flourishes, but she really brings'em on in this version. Just sublime.
What would y'all have thought if she'd done "Someday Soon" with Chris Hillman, Herb Pedersen, and the Desert Rose Band?
Three of my favorites in my 73 years! God Bless, and God Speed, friends.
It was long ago and most of us are dead, but, damn, when we were young , we were amazing.
Judy blues eyes, que j’écoute encore de CSN 55 ans après -❤ pour david
All legends and darn Ian Tyson wrote this great song
Before she was born, she asked God if she could have an extremely beautiful voice and God said YES.
I am not surprised she had an in with God.
Acoustic instruments, beautiful voices- who knew that anyone on earth still played music like this:)
OMG! Judy sings like she always did and of course Stills, he bangs out a lead to any song like nobody else! Thankyou!
Miss Judy Collins is GREAT
Her voice gives one goosebumps 😍
Waves all over from my cheeks down to the calves of my legs. God bless
God I love this song.
Likewise. looking forward to seeing her in concert next month.
Cute to see the glances of admiration jumping back and forth. Never saw Stephen smile like that so much and Judy was positively giddy. Sweet.
I have lived in the best of times! Best music, Best friends, Best cars, Best concerts, Best girl companions and lovers, Best food, Best schools and Universities, I have been very lucky and am humbled everytime I see and hear the strife and misery among my fellow citizens...Greed and unregulated capitalism will never win.
Socialism and Un-Regulated Taxation (communism) will Only Destroy & Never Win . .
Beautiful song, beautifully played. Another great Ian Tyson song. RIP IAN.

Stephen Stills is one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time. I remember when that was commonly believed.
Such an awesome voice! Time of the sixties with so much different creative forces happening...❤
I'm impressed by the understated Graham Nash one-man harmony backing oohs and aah. Perfect low-volume balance. Of course Judy's vocal is fantastic, definitely her best song.
Nine years after this they were on tour in CA. I was lucky enough to see them. Amazing.
It's something to see the source of Stills' inspiration for Suite Judy Blue Eyes on the stage with him, and Nash humming along in the background.
Judy Collins .. who can beat her!
She's just so darned beautiful. The Music, the Voice, the Eyes; where have all the years & the flowers gone. This all takes me back... riding my motor' down the Blvd. in Paris, one warm morning in May, so many years ago. Oh, I was a free man then.
Hope your still a free man with peace of mind.
Best wishes from Rotorua,
New Zealand.
Free man in Paris ?
@@lisamoroney3036 you know I'd go back there tomorrow, but for the work I've taken on....
Stokin the star maker machinery of the popular song 🎧
Her voice is crystalline, just beautiful, like she is, the full package and Someday Soon is one of my favorite songs ever..❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful! Such a beautiful voice! A flood of memories of my youth!
Hello Kimbo, How are you doing?
The three people on this stage played the soundtrack of my youth. I have tears in my eyes and an open heart listening to this. This song, as sung by Judy Collins, is one of my favorites. Add Stephen to it, and I'm floating.
So am I, ooh beautiful tout...
Judy's voice is wonderful.💐
Hello Donna..
No one can sing Amazing Grace like here, she has the voice of an Angel
Rachael Faro's amazing grace is like no other Ive ever heard
X she is beautiful with a voice of a angel and Stephen stills was always my favorite lead
A beautiful lady and beautiful singer ! She and this song bring back many wonderful memories.
2021... still brilliant.
Wow. Judy Collins sounds as wonderful as ever, and Stephen Stills's solo on the bridge was excellent. Thank you for posting this.
Indeed. The blend between Judy's voice and Stephen's style of playing, brings this performance to another level. The combination works quite well. Agreed! Another great solo from THE "one man band", himself! Stephen nailed the bridge!!
One of my favorite singers (Judy) and one of my favorite song writers (Stephen).
Judy will be in concert in Colorado Springs in April of 2025. I can't wait to go
I'm assuming it wasn't always like this, but you could see genuine affection and admiration on their faces when Stills walked out on stage. Very wonderful to see that.
Legends. Judy sings better than ever. Beautiful voice, beautiful person.
Great watching Stills and Nash together here, plus the incredibly clear voice of Judy Collins...........totally blew me away
That voice, perfect.
Always beautiful.. that lovely pristine voice.. Thank you Judy Collins💋❤️🌜⭐⭐⭐🎋🎋🎋
Hello Sue, How are you doing?
Been hearing the original since it was first released. So I hear every note, every intonation, every word that isn't THE SAME. But this is BEAUTIFUL..
Omg she sings like an angel such a beautiful voice such a beautiful performance the two of them, great together.
J.C.'s voice improved with age. Hard to believe as it was primo in the 60's If you were around then, you probably cannot listen without tearing up.
Rod-Her voice is still improving-listen to her tribute to her mother called "In the Twilight" from her live at the Metropolitan Museum of Art concert-Gorgeous and she's somewhere in her what. 70's?
@@Amp389lanG She worked hard when she was younger to train her voice with a professional vocal trainer. She still does vocal exercises- that's how she has kept that incredible voice.
She is outstanding but at 80 now does not hit the same high notes that she could 50 years ago (and who can!?). Saw her in concert w Stephen a few years back.
She still can knock it out of the park. Always loved her music as well as CSN and sometimes Y !
Goddamn, so so pretty. Stills stretches out on his lead. Judy, you sing like an angel. Thank you; so nice to still be alive!
My all time favorite from her ! It’s a pity that it’s so short though ….
god, she's still in full voice. so very wonderful. thanks for posting. been missing her lately and just idly searched her out on youtube...
Just heard her 2019 in a small theater in Loveland Colorado. Her voice was actually better. Still pristine and clear but richer and more dimensional. She radiated Presence.
She is gifted the three of them are a magic moment.
Steve’s a very talented man. Give him any instrument and he can play it. Extremely well.
RSC3516 couldn't agree with you mote. Love Steve and all he had done but Judy was never a favorite of mine though I concede -she was talented Just not my type. Loved Steve, and Joni Mitchell, &most of his musical alliances with others👍😎
I get chills everytime I hear this. Judy sings it so beautifully. Thanks for the memories ❤️
Wow. Judy is special and an inspiration
Three people accidentally hit the thumbs-down when collapsing onto their knees to weep in worship--understandable, law of averages, you know,
Judy was 70 when she recorded this, still singing as beautifully as ever.
This clip was from the late '80's or early '90's at the latest, so she was way younger than that.
@@BlueEyes-gp8lg I investigated. Graham Nash had an interview show on cable TV - this episode is from 1990.
Can you believe she’s 89
My First concert experience, probably in ‘72 or 73.
@@NERSkate Her wikipedia page says she is 85.
After a rocky start,she has taken very good care of herself Remarkable her voice still sounds so good
Listening to Judy and I am in love again.
Find the original recording on Judy’s LP, “Who knows where the time goes”, with the late Buddy Emmons on steel guitar....just beautiful.
Years back I was emailing back and forth with Judy Collins about the prospect of doing a reprise of this album. At the time (late 1990s) all the original players were still alive and Judy said that our conversation had inspired her to do such an album with all the original musicians (James Burton, Stephen, Chris Ethridge, Jim Gordon, Van Dyke Parks, etc.).

These lessons are national treasures!
Music with feeling, all this music from back then was raw, great , fully something I understand...
Nowadays, eh...
Sweet Judy - One-Of-A-Kind voice - Takes me back to 1969 (in a 'cover band' in So Calif.) found a "chick singer" who could do Judy Collins' music - -
Nice version with three great musicians.
I love every song she ever song but one of my favorites was her cover of SUNNY GOODGE STREET by Donovan. I first heard this song sitting in the basement of Figaro's Cafe in the Village in 1967. What a time it was, it was.

Just found this video; WOW! Judy Collins has such a wonderful singing voice.
One of the greatest songs ever.
Saw her perform last year in Salina Kansas 2015~she's still gorgeous and her voice is still lovely~
Ah...Sweet Judy Blue Eyes!! The 12 string sounds really good.
Classic. First time I heard Suite: Judy Blue eyes was seeing the Woodstock movie. Hooked... Before that, I listened to her album Wildflowers. “Michael From Mountains” runs through my mind quite often.

Look at the way he looks at her...priceless
I just love this song. I'm sure Ian would love this too. Good job Judy!
That was awesome
j'adore
Collins, the inspiration of the best works of Stills; Suite Judy Blue Eyes, Helplessly Hoping.
I swear Judy could have sung opera as a Soprano. So lovely...
I'm holding her album "Hard times for lovers" as I listen. Beautiful pictures of her and memories

great comment.. amazing song, heavenly harmony :)
I saw Judy in Florida about 5 years ago and she sounded great
God given talents here. I’m speechless. Awesome. 💕xxx
I saw her perform in 1970 in Syracuse N.Y.. Lord the years have brought changes, but her voice is just as lovely as it was then and carrys me back!!!
