To the people watching in 2124 - a hundred years ago, I was watching this video before bed on a Sunday night. This video made me smile - and I hope it does the same for you.
I'm 74 and can't really sing any more but I still have their original albums.....brings back so many bittersweet memories of my youth. We'll never see this golden age of great music, hope and great dreams ever again
As one person said, we absolutely lived in a golden age of music! The harmony of CSN (&Y) sooves the soul. I'm 68 now and so thankful to be born at the right time. For the GREATEST MUSIC EVER! Thank God for these guys, and yes, David may you rest in peace. You're in one hell of a rock n roll band now in heaven.
It's like watching and listening to a 9 minute divine miracle of absolute perfection. Stuff like this does not happen anymore. We lived in a golden age.
I can’t stop with this! The best of all their live performances of the magic SUite Judy Blue Eyes. The looks they give each other, Nash hopping all around, Crosby still as stone, til he starts the hand clap at the dizzying end. And well my goodness, Mr. Stills...the vocals lead, free but contained, and the smoke coming from the frets in the bridge. And I don’t care who was a tool to whom. We’re all pretty broken, and walking wounded, and a kind and loving Universe brought these voices together, and wrapped it up like a gift, and gave it to all of us. We are all so deeply flawed; David Crosby offers perhaps the most perfect middle-voice harmony in the history of recorded bands. I thank them all. This just hits the spot, for these perilous times. I’m 63. WE HAD THE BEST MUSIC.
Peggy Deffley Wow! " . . . A kind and loving Universe brought these voices together, and wrapped it up like a gift, and gave it to all of us." That's about the most eloquent comment and description of anything I've ever seen anywhere. I wish they could see this. It's the sort of response real musicians live to hear, and hope to inspire with every performance.
RIP David Crosby, a legend amongst legends. I'm 36 so these guys were a few generations before me. But this was the music I was brought up with. I will forever be grateful to my Dad for this
Stills the guitar man. Jammed with jimi and slowhand. Nash the English man, singing the high notes in the stratosphere. And Crosby, standing like a stone, the rock in the center with his harmonies. Was lucky to see them 6 times through the years, always a joy to hear....
Summer 1970. Imagine a whole darkened Montreal Forum packed with excited little ones, closing in on around eleven at night, right after the first few bars of this one, suddenly, all 20,000 of us dead quiet, such silence, literally you could hear the ol' adage, hear a pin drop beside you ... what unbelievable reverence from that stoned youthful lot: not a whistle, not a shout, not a peep, nothing, like you're the only one in the audience. Niel Young was there too: four guitars, four voices, not to happen again. When they finished, we would not let them go. The Forum turned on their lights. But not for us, no one left, we stood and applauded and applauded, until they had to come back on stage and continue with more. David Crosby, gone forever, but in our hearts, he will live on and on.
We lost Jeff Beck and David Crosby the past month, there are no replacements! Watching this I realize how precious it is. An original song arranged by them and performed live with a virtuoso acoustic guitar accompaniment by Stills. I'll not wait until they're dead to thank and praise them for the beauty and inspiration.
I'm 72 years old. This one will never fade. It rises into the stratosphere as other songs fade into the mists of time. I feel so lucky and grateful continuing to pass through this amazing era, from Chuck Berry, The Everly Brothers, and Elvis onward.
Please remember, this trio did it all with no synthesizers, voice auto-tune, electronic enhancements. This is just music in its purest form. If you can, purchase their self-titled first album, Crosby, Stills & Nash and travel back in time. Or, better yet, if you have just discovered them, buy it and prepare to be changed forever.
I will forever love them. Fly free now, Croz.....This music will live on forever. still, I am so sad. Each time we lose someone like this from this golden era of pure, creative, organic music, it's like losing a piece of one's youth.
One of the best live performances by a rock band I've ever heard. Absolute perfection and a truly remarkable song. What a great acoustic guitar solo as well!
No you’re doing it wrong. Make a gmail. Use a card with 2 bucks on it and get TH-cam premium fee trial. Do that once a month. Premium for life and pay nothing. Seriously.
Yup, I got their ad too! But at least we can still come here to see them on YT, any time we want,,,,just goes to show ya, nothing is free, not even to watch the videos on YT that's the price of admission to watch them. I guess it's better than having to pay, to watch the videos, as annoyiny as the ads are when they interrupt the video, right in the middle of it. I wish they could just show the ads at the beginning & the end of them. I always just fast forward the ads....
They started in 1968 as Crosby, Stills & Nash, formed from former members of three prominent 1960s groups: The Byrds (David Crosby), Buffalo Springfield (Stephen Stills) and The Hollies (Graham Nash). 3:33 Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. The title is a play on words. "Suite" is a reference to a part of a classical composition, but it can also be interpreted as "sweet." The full-length version of the song can be considered a suite, with lots of musical changes. Source: Songfacts
If all Stephen had ever written and sung was this one song, he would have still deserved to be in the Hall of Fame. Epic in every way - songwriting, composition, voicing, harmony, performance. A song for the ages.
Yeah but he didn't though did he? For those who came in late, check out Carry On, 4+20, Love the One You're With and Southern Cross for songs. Steve is a legend - always will be.
I am 52. My grandma taught me to harmonize to bluegrass music. These men are as important to music theory as The 3 Tenors and Motzart. Helplessly Hoping is a tribute to Musical alliteration
Brilliant version. Each a huge talent on their own, bring them together and it's astounding and just as mind blowing decades later. Crosby, the glue holding it together. RIP Croz. ♥️
Maybe Lindsay Buckingham, another underrated guitarist. AND AND Stevie Winwood. =. Heck Can’t find my way home. Hauntingly beautiful and magnificent. IMO
Look up Foxes and Fossils. Graham Nash wrote them a note complimenting them on their performance. It was the first song they had ever performed and the ladies were just 16 and 15 at the time.
I went to a concert after David got His health back.I was keeping my fingers crossed.I was concerned worry over nothing.They nailed the harmonies still magical experience
Well, I guess...Somehow I am Lucky...Cause I was Blessed to see CSN at Woodstock. I was 16 and just about 4 months shy of joining the Army and going to Vietnam. They saved my life several of times...as I would listen to their music in my head all through my first tour. Suite Judy Blue Eyes was the one I loved the most. If I could stand before Steve Stills today, I would give Him the medels I won in VN. He saved me...Not good luck.
Bless you, sir, and thank you for sharing that amazing story. 58,000+ of your brothers never made it home. I saw them in 1990 in a small park in Manchester, NH when I was only a few years older than you were then.
I never forget about you Viet Nam guys, always wonder how you have done since then. Glad to see you here, glad to know Stills saw you through. He is seeing me through a rough time now.
To the people watching in 2124 - a hundred years ago, I was watching this video before bed on a Sunday night. This video made me smile - and I hope it does the same for you.
How he isn't considered one of the greatest guitarists ever is beyond me
But he IS considered one of the greatest.
Isn't he??????
@@davidp7178 Absolutely
He is by me. Especially on the acoustic, I think he is unrivaled.
He is among guitar players.
These harmonies are timeless. Rest in peace, David Crosby.
One of the best harmony singers of our generation
This proves I grew up with the best music! RIP David
Class of 77-78. Love CSN&Y
Oh God yes!
Sooooo good.
You witness this once in a lifetime,,,if you're lucky! Wow...the music of our generation!!!
I'm 74 and can't really sing any more but I still have their original albums.....brings back so many bittersweet memories of my youth. We'll never see this golden age of great music, hope and great dreams ever again
SEE it here anytime you want, man. Peace. The best never fades away.
I wish I could keep pressing "like" till I've liked this ten thousand times.
1 guitar……3 voices…….pure magic……..
As one person said, we absolutely lived in a golden age of music! The harmony of CSN (&Y) sooves the soul. I'm 68 now and so thankful to be born at the right time. For the GREATEST MUSIC EVER! Thank God for these guys, and yes, David may you rest in peace. You're in one hell of a rock n roll band now in heaven.
I’m 71 and I agree
There is NO doubt: WE lived at the best of times. I am so thankful of that!
His good friend Bobby Ingram left the year before.
It's like watching and listening to a 9 minute divine miracle of absolute perfection. Stuff like this does not happen anymore. We lived in a golden age.
I would counter that it is not divine, it is man made and terrestrial. And from my perspective, that makes it even more significant and special.
Yes we did.
Amen
We sure did wernt it great P
Indeed! Golden age and Golden Musicians that remains forever👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎶🎶🎶🙏😊
Steve Stills was smoking on the guitar. Fantastic!
RIP David. I’m so happy to have been on the planet at the same time as you. Thanks for the music
@stevetugwell …. Me too
Well, I came here to hear David Crosby (RIP!) but STEPHEN STILLS and his guitar. Hot damn.
Go Stephen go. You are the greatest. Love csny. Suite judy blue eyes. The best.❤❤❤❤😊

I'm 63 to, I seen this tour at the muny out door venue st, Louis , daylight again tour. still have my t-shirt ,tic-stub. Great show , Great nite.☮️🎸
David Crosby's "still as stone" is out of respect to Stephen Stills; he doesn't wish to be a distraction.
Crosby is still as a stone because that's what he is. STONED!
Dead right , I'm 65 and this lot made a deep impression. 👍🇬🇧
RIP David Crosby...there will never be music like this again. I'm 50 so these guys were a generation before me, but my god man...that is music
RIP David Crosby, a legend amongst legends. I'm 36 so these guys were a few generations before me. But this was the music I was brought up with. I will forever be grateful to my Dad for this
I am 65 and happy so many people of different ages are still enjoying this ❤
UNREAL SONG AND PERFORMANCE!
Back when talent ment something, no flashing lights, no half naked girls, just good music....
Could of done with some half naked ladies though
Yes, We lived in the Golden Age of music!!! Thank you! Thank you for your timeless AMAZING music will live on for ever!!!❤️
Stills the guitar man. Jammed with jimi and slowhand. Nash the English man, singing the high notes in the stratosphere. And Crosby, standing like a stone, the rock in the center with his harmonies. Was lucky to see them 6 times through the years, always a joy to hear....
Rest In Paradise David 😥🕊🙏🏼 Thankyou for sharing your gift with us. 💔❤🌹
The guitar playing is amazing. The sound he is able to generate from a single guitar while singing lead is incredible.
This takes me back to my youth in the 70s, what a time to be alive. What a moving performance, beyond just music.
I’m 72 now, but I remember that when I was in high school I felt exactly this way about a girl I knew. Thank you CSN.
RIP David Crosby may you find peace condolences to your Family

This video is an anti depressant. It brings revival to my soul every time.
This song makes you feel Crosby, Stills, and Nash-----and Young!
Born in 74. Still Jamming!! GREAT MUSIC NEVER DIES....
Incredible, how with one acoustic Martin guitar, a tambourine and three amazing voices, these guys could bring a crowd of thousands to such joy.
We lost Jeff Beck and David Crosby the past month, there are no replacements! Watching this I realize how precious it is. An original song arranged by them and performed live with a virtuoso acoustic guitar accompaniment by Stills. I'll not wait until they're dead to thank and praise them for the beauty and inspiration.
The artist is immortal because the art is. No artist is ever gone as long we still appreciate and love their art.
I am51 yrs old and still remember every word.Please share this music with your children and grandchildren...don't let it fade away!
I'm 72 years old. This one will never fade. It rises into the stratosphere as other songs fade into the mists of time. I feel so lucky and grateful continuing to pass through this amazing era, from Chuck Berry, The Everly Brothers, and Elvis onward.
Teach your children....
Now you're 56
I am 78 and I am still here❤️
Fired up a doobie, cranked the stereo up, sat back and enjoyed every second of this song.
Absolutely my favorite song ever - has been for over 40 years !!!
Please remember, this trio did it all with no synthesizers, voice auto-tune, electronic enhancements. This is just music in its purest form.

PURE HARMONIES--MUSIC!!!!!!!
@@barbarabaldwin7120 Guinevere !! 🥰
See Just Roll Tape version , too, to appreciate the harmony
So true. ANYBODY can be a singer nowadays, just fire up the computerized voices.
Three voices, and an acoustic guitar. What a gift to the world!
I will forever love them. Fly free now, Croz.....This music will live on forever. still, I am so sad. Each time we lose someone like this from this golden era of pure, creative, organic music, it's like losing a piece of one's youth.
That's why there are recordings like this to refresh our memory. Don't despair. Just SAVE IT!
This is one of the best songs ever written
Still’s masterful guitar work on this song set the gold standard for a whole generation of musicians.
This song is so AWESOME!!!
Just LOVE the lyrics, harmony, acoustic guitar, just so GOOD!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
one of those songs that you sit in the car waiting for the song to finish
If I hear two notes, I will walk around the store till it’s over! (And I will be singing along the whole time!)
Absolutely

So true
Stephen was easily the most talented of the Trio.
Yes, that's true, but Crosbys voice in his prime was so so good. Stills is an amazing guitarist and singer very well rounded. Rip Crosby 🕊
Still breathtaking after so many years❤❤❤
Whenever this tune comes on in the car I have crank it up + repeat it. It was such a great part of my life. RIP David Crosby
One of the best live performances by a rock band I've ever heard. Absolute perfection and a truly remarkable song. What a great acoustic guitar solo as well!
Stills could play!!!!!
Thanks for your response!
I agree
Im 53, and my mother listened to the song. I appreciate CSN
I don’t think anyone has ever made an acoustic guitar sound this good ever.
RIP David Crosby. This is one of my favoriteS!❤️
Only TH-cam can screw up that badly by letting an ad stop a great song like this half way through
That's what adblockers are for.
Now all we need are stupid reply blockers 😂😂😂

I agree completely. He is a great writer and performer. One of my all time favorites.

Proud to say I lived this generation of music. I'm still there at heart...
This song is spiritual experience.
Wonderful, only wonderful. The voices are so great!!!
Stephen Stills is a hugely under-celebrated guitarist. Total virtuoso.
Absolutely... hats of but people in real music always loved him. He is unique
i heard jimi hendrix said he was the best guitarist in the world
Definitely one of the greats!!!
Go look up John Butler - Ocean.... mind totally blown!
so under rated-- listen to first solo lp-- under the influence of a bottle of tequila
Best 9 minutes I’ve spent in a while. How is something this good even possible? Stills = Perfection
100 percent @remygarrison
A masterpiece. RIP Crosby.
Great performance. Stills kills...
RIP David Crosby... You will be forever music in my heart.
Just had to come to listen. Rest in peace, Croz.
Steohen Stills you are amazing, truly amazing!!!!!
WOW! Just WOW! We will never see their like again.
Art. When you witness a masterpiece it can bring tears to your eyes. Crazy, yet we’ve all experienced it
and does
64 years old and I still can't even breath after hearing this.
Seems like yesterday.
Tears too!!!
ABSOLUTELY BEYOND OUTSTANDING!!!!
R.I.P. David Crosby!
I’m 33 I’m happy i got to see this trio twice. Crosby and Nash once and Neil a few times.
Road trip song , All the bands my dad loved... I love now.
God, I never tire of hearing this song. Takes me back to a time when life was simpler.
They were something to behold! A game changer for a lot of us.
I listen to CSN at least once a week for real and i`m in my 70`s.
Man I can't believe you left us Still. Thank you your music will be with us forever Amen.
I've had a "celebrity crush" on Stephen Stills for about 47 years now...
Brilliant version. Each a huge talent on their own, bring them together and it's astounding and just as mind blowing decades later. Crosby, the glue holding it together. RIP Croz. ♥️
Mh ❤was für eine tolle Gruppe!Ihre Musik einzigartig ich liebe sie!
There will never be another CSN. RIP David Crosby.
We are just in a different time…and it will never be the same!! Pure genius right here!!
Suite Judy Blue Eyes... a true masterpiece sung by legends. Incredible and tireless. RIP David Crosby!
This is one of the most amazing songs ever. Really. Just seriously amazing in every way!
"The queen of the Caribbean Sea" 8:05
Yeh, kind of makes one think what he was saying. Hurts me to this day!
Just love this song, was always MY song. RIP David Crosby. Will remember forever.
I love watching Stills play guitar. There is nobody quite like him.
Maybe Lindsay Buckingham, another underrated guitarist. AND AND Stevie Winwood. =. Heck Can’t find my way home. Hauntingly beautiful and magnificent. IMO
Check eveen
Stephen Stills is a genius.
Nash is a master at vocals.
Crosby: you did all quietly. You will be missed.
Beautiful song indeed!! Sssso many thoughts come back after quite a number of years!!
One simply has to realize that most live groups can't pull off their harmonies live to realize how good these guys are
Spellbound by the sheer magic of their harmonies.
With auto tune no problem today! Obviously just a bad joke on my part!
Look up Foxes and Fossils. Graham Nash wrote them a note complimenting them on their performance. It was the first song they had ever performed and the ladies were just 16 and 15 at the time.
I went to a concert after David got His health back.I was keeping my fingers crossed.I was concerned worry over nothing.They nailed the harmonies still magical experience
Stills is a genius. End of story. Goodnight everyone.
Still amazing
Definitely
couldnt describe it better....the solo is insane...
Amen!
One of the best.
RIP David Crosby. ❤️🙏
Rest in peace, David.💕
This is real music! Beautiful, haunting, soulful, emotional on so many levels!
Especially when they sing, 'What have I got to lose?'
Best, most soulful performance of Suite Judy Blue eyes I’ve heard. Guitar solo is amazing!
He and Joni Mitchell. Absolute masters of tunings.
You are so right! I think I have watched it 100 times!
Trying to imitate Steven Stills guitar solo is virtually impossible!!
At least for me!! LOL
Awesome ,fantastic ,incredible, superb spine tingling ...have i left anything out 😊
