I was 18, starting my first day working in a record shop off Carnaby Street, London. The shop manager asked what kind of music I liked. I told him the Motown and Stax record labels primarily, with some Beatles, Beach Boys and Rolling Stones thrown in, just about covered it. To which he replied, " In that case, prepare to get musically educated..." and played this album loud over the shop speakers... 😀
i really don't know when i first heard this, but the first time i heard it live i was in my early 20s, and Santana opened the concert, and Stills came out and jammed with him during some of the solos. a friend of a friend was walking through the crowd handing out acid for free. another time another friend and i used to ride in his yellow VW bug, which had no stereo at all, but the glove compartment was filled with hand-written lyrics to this track and others, which we used to sing in the car. so many good memories here. thanks for doing this.
It's worth giving the entire album a listen. It was a major album of the era that has had a lot of longevity. I first heard it much later than its release when it was still getting air play. Going back today - years later - I still feel it captures the mood of the 60's (ok it was released in '70 but recorded in '69). Yeah its a little trippy. That's the hippy vibe.
@@abovetheinfluence9361 Well they did just come off of playing at Woodstock. LOL! which was only their second professional gig as a group together. They added Neil Young to them for this albim.
Iconic harmonies. Steve Stills killing it on guitar. Check out Wooden Ships! CSNY members came from the top harmony groups of the 60’s- Buffalo Springfield, The Hollies and The Byrds.
"rejoice, rejoice -- we have no choice -- we've got to carry on ... " even after listening to this for 30+ years, or maybe because of listening to it for so long, it keeps hitting me deeper every year. when the world grinds you down, carry on. when the world slaps you around, carry on. rejoice -- man, it's good to see you out in the world again my dude. your attention to detail and your exuberant yet chill positivity are always a balm for the ears & spirit. driving in to work today i was jamming Bootsy Collins and Ronkat Spearman, so i was delighted when you pointed out the connection to funk here in this track. now i realize there's funk all over this, but it took you saying the obvious to turn me on all over again. as a minor psychonaut i'm always drawn to CSN/CSNY tunes like "Cathedral", but these guys have a catalog so deep and wide it's hard to miss. "Southern Cross," "Wooden Ships," "Ohio", and their version of Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock" are all folk-rock jams. harmonies are what they're known for, and their messages hit home. carry on, brother. so very good to see you. and come on back when you can. peace.
CROSBY, STILLS, NASH , AND YOUNG "CARRY ON". Harmonizing is who they became. All of the way too, the Rock and Roll HALL OF FAME.. more CSN, "WOODSTOCK", "WOODEN SHIPS", "LONG TIME GONE", "ALMOST CUT MY HAIR", "TEACH YOUR CHILDREN WELL", "LOVE THE ONE YOUR WITH", "OHIO"...
@@abovetheinfluence9361 Have you done a review of Zeppelin's Since I've Been Loving You (Live at Madison Square Garden) 1973? ( see th-cam.com/video/4gT63xovuWE/w-d-xo.html ) ... it's off the chart!!
@@abovetheinfluence9361 Please could do a review of what many musicians (including myself, I've been a composer/pianist/keyboardist since 1973) consider the BEST GUITAR SOLO of all time, Gary Moore 'Empty Rooms Live 1987 His Best Guitar Solo' ... th-cam.com/video/KFUW621lgXY/w-d-xo.html . It's part of his 1987 concert in Stockholm which can be seen here ... th-cam.com/video/SvrRYxdYdbg/w-d-xo.html
Stephen Stills is the composer and plays the acoustic guitar, all the electric guitars including the wah wah pedal track, the organ, and sings with Crosby and Nash.
Fantastic reaction, and thanks so much for honoring my request!! I had a feeling you would appreciate these guys, based on other reactions from you. So glad you enjoyed them. Their harmonies are utterly exquisite. I've been so saddened by David Crosby's passing, so seeing his torch passed along made me smile~ Peace to you and yours ~ 🎶💜✌
Another good song that was written to protest the killing at Kent State. "Ohio" is a great song, for a sad situation. You still need to listen to "Pretzel Logic" by Steely Dan!!! One of their best early songs 😉✌
I remember watching a documentary bout the Kent State tragedy. Definitely gotta give it a listen and anything Steely Dan is alright with me lol Thanks Ginny!
CSNY were all about harmonies. When they recorded “Teach your Children” they had Jerry Garcia of the Greatful Dead play steel guitar for the song. For payment Garcia asked them to teach the Dead to sing harmonies. When is just CSN Steven stills is the primary lead guitarist.
Judy blue eyes, Ohio, Southern Cross. Helplessly hoping, teach your children well deja vu…I grew up with older parents and I rember listening to these guys on vinyl. you can’t beat them for their tight harmonies. They were the first real concert I went to. Unfortunately David Crosby recently passed.
One of the greatest albums all time when the greatest groups of all time consider the super group when they formed... Elements of the Birds.... Buffalo Springfield and the Hollie's... all groups to check out.... Sadly David Crosby died last week
Welcome back...so glad you got to CSN . That's Steven Stills on lead guitar - David Crosby and Graham Nash play rhythm guitar. Try this live version of "Wooden Ships": th-cam.com/video/tCB5tS1L2kw/w-d-xo.html to get a look at them.
The Beach Boys? Hell no! Their harmony was and is unprecedented. This is what it would sound like if Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart got together and jammed.
Great reaction but, as a musician, I have to correct one term. The drums in the song are "congas", not "bongos". Bongos are the small two-drums attached together ones that you hold between your legs. Congas are much larger and are individual drums held up by stands. There may be two or three of them sometimes grouped together but they are not connected to each other like bongos are. It's an easy mistake because they are both played with the hands but they are very different in size.
Listen to CSN 'Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. It's awesome. '...needs more cowbell!!!' Stephen Stills on guitar...he's from louisiana...Neil Young on guitar...he's from Canada. They all were part of the magic coming out of Laurel Canyon in the late 60s early 70s. Some lived there some just showed up & even John Lennon hung out up there. Charles Manson was trying to get into the music thing too & the guy who rented the house Sharon Tate & Roman Polanski rented after he left had actually recorded a couple songs for Manson. One of the beach boys- Dennis Wilson i think- had brought Manson around. The guy had a studio at the place, too. So the killing of 4 ppl there may have been a case of wrong guy but wth let's do it anyway. The John Holmes thing happened in laurel canyon, too...where about 4 ppl got killed bc John Holmes had more dick than he did brains. Joni Mitchell still owns the house she lived in, there. Led Zeppelin has great stuff but wouldn't know which to recommend...'when the levee breaks' is excellent...zep they loved old blues...English band...nobody'll ever come anywhere near Zeppelin.
Vietnam... you should listen to the soundtrack of "Apocalypse now " by Francis Ford Coppola " a fantastic film with Marlon Brando and historical actors. ✌☯️ take care
You should check out Southern Cross. My favorite. David Crosby, Stephen Stills, Graham Nash. CSN. Neil Young was with them for a while CSNY. I prefer CSN.
They weren't that popular 4 nowt . Excellent band that did their bit in the making of brilliant music it's a perfect pleasure just 2 bring this particular track in2 people's lives that never heard or knew who they were !thanx 4 this though the kids of the day now could do worse than taking this music on !
What a shame you talk about a set of beach boys 🤢 Against such a classic band since the 69.. they emerged at the WOODSTOCK....like this the so many greats ..🎉🎉 Carlos Santana Jimi Hendrix... & many more Beach boys...oh my how can you relate them with...my sorry Seems like you are yet to listen to lots more golden music 😮
I enjoy speaking with the great people who tune in to watch the reactions while offering my thoughts to the music. Apologies if this isn’t your style and thanks for the feedback! 🙏🏾
As always I gotta ask: WHERE WERE YOU WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD THIS TUNE?! 👀👀👀
I was a Junior in High School - 16 or so. I think it dropped in '69 ! Me & my friends were riding around sneaking cigarettes ..lol !
I was 18, starting my first day working in a record shop off Carnaby Street, London. The shop manager asked what kind of music I liked.

I'm 73 and that is my lifetime favorite song. Happy that you discovered and enjoyed it! Listen to more of their music, you won't be disappointed.
Yeah, like listen to the entire "Deja Vu" album. It is high up in the pantheon of greatest albums ever recorded.
Steve Stills on lead guitar, undeniable perfection. And a good neighbor too, hi Steve.
Actually... he played EVERYTHING.
It's worth giving the entire album a listen. It was a major album of the era that has had a lot of longevity. I first heard it much later than its release when it was still getting air play.

Soooo iconic! Ah so that Steve Stilles working that magic I was hearing. Definitely gotta react to way more of their music! Thanks Karen!
You have to hear Suite: Judy Blue Eyes from their self titled album Crosby, Stills & Nash. It’s fire!
Excellent musicians. Great singer/songwriters. One of my top bands.
This was an utterly 𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥 reaction. ♡

Solo by Stephen Stills which is a whole another rabbit hole.

The band is Crosby Stills Nash “and Young”. Stephen Stills played ALL guitars on this song - acoustic and electric.
Stephen Stills was on guitar. Very underrated guitarist - he was brilliant!
Very good guitarist indeed. He's talked about learning how to solo from Jimi Hendrix himself, they were friends and jammed together. ✌🏼
Stills was actually on everything.
Thats Stephen Stills for you, an absolutely brilliant musician.
Stephen Stills is the composer and plays the acoustic guitar, all the electric guitars including the wah wah pedal track, the organ, and sings with Crosby and Nash.

Stephen Stills played lead guitar on this song and also wrote and arranged it.
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.... considered by many to be the first "Supergroup".
It’s odd that somebody with such a good ear for music hasn’t heard these guys, but welcome to the club!
The Masters of Harmony!
Good comment about the Vietnam war. This song was written in the thick of that fiasco. Cut My Hair is another great song about Nam.
Stephen Stills spoke and plays for generations. Such a gifted musician, singer and songwriter. 😊
Stephen Stills Gretsch White Falcon guitar lead. Sooo Cooool!!!!!!
RIP David Crosby .
I have this on vinyl. When that harmony hits at 0:31 it HITS. It's like you just licked the terminal of a 9 volt battery.
Glad you like them. After 45 years they are still my favourite band.

New subscriber from Canada - love you and you style - DON'T EVER CHANGE !!! This is by far my fav song of theirs
Sounds as good today as it did when I first heard it back in 1970.
I saw them around 20 years ago...they came out and started with this. Tears flowed it was that good.
This is one of my favorite albums. I grew up listening to it.
CSNY were all about harmonies.
When they recorded “Teach your Children” they had Jerry Garcia of the Greatful Dead play steel guitar for the song. For payment Garcia asked them to teach the Dead to sing harmonies.

I saw them twice at Saratoga springs NY. There are three. The. Funky guitar is Steven Stills. They were very socially minded.
“For What It’s Worth” is a great song by them. Neil Young was with them then.
Neil Young used to sing with them?? 🤯
@@abovetheinfluence9361 … Yeah. They were once called Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
@@dianefiske-foy4717 ah so he went solo and a legend is born. 🤔
@@abovetheinfluence9361 … Yep, so very true.
"For What It's Worth" is a Buffalo Springfield tune. Though Steven Stills and Neil Young were in that band before they formed CSNY.
My dad introduced me to CSNY and I am eternally grateful
A fantastic track, on one of my favorite albums ever. Deja Vu is in my stereo in the car right now.
One of the greatest albums all time when the greatest groups of all time consider the super group when they formed... Elements of the Birds.... Buffalo Springfield and the Hollie's...
all groups to check out.... Sadly David Crosby died last week
You’d get a kick out of Almost Cut My Hair! Please listen to it! The song’s first line alone will make your hair stand up
Legends. ☮️✌🏻🕊️👑
A top band from the best era in music imo ❤
Great song.. now do horn sections.. check chicago tanlewood cheers man
Welcome back...so glad you got to CSN . That's Steven Stills on lead guitar - David Crosby and Graham Nash play rhythm guitar. Try this live version of "Wooden Ships": th-cam.com/video/tCB5tS1L2kw/w-d-xo.html to get a look at them.
Second time I’ve seen Wooden Ships recommended… gonna have to give it a go! Thanks for the background info too Will!
Davis Crosby, Steven Stills, Graham Nash and (sometimes) Neil Young - late 60s early y70's...R I P Davis Crosby
The Beach Boys? Hell no! Their harmony was and is unprecedented. This is what it would sound like if Bach, Beethoven, and Mozart got together and jammed.
The “Questions” portion of this song was actually recorded by Buffalo Springfield - the group Stephen Stills & Neil Young were part of before CSNY.
Great reaction 🔥
Sweet new editing ✨️
Appreciate it! Tryna step it up for y’all ☺️🙏🏾
2:51 😂😂😂 my guy said *_EEUGH_* 😂
like the Moody Blues and a few other rare groups, CSN was brought together by Divine Intervention
Love it! Now please react to anything Dolly Parton because everything she has touched is magic. ❤
Adding to the list!! ❤
CSN&Y is included on the soundtrack of my high school days

It's awesome.
'...needs more cowbell!!!'

I suggest "Eli's Comin'" by Laura Nyro.
Beach Boys had some mean harmonies so you aren't wrong! Your music audio is a little low. Australian harmonies - Little River Band
The millennials rejected harmonies to chase word throwers, now they're coming 'round.

Music sounds too low like a transistor radio under a pillow. Can't bear to listen. Hope you get the sound fixed. Best of luck with your channel.

Sir... please understand you are hearing pure Stephen Stills. Get that right.
What a shame you talk about a set of beach boys 🤢
Against such a classic band since the 69.. they emerged at the WOODSTOCK....like this the so many greats ..🎉🎉
