every child of the 60's - 70's should know/appreciate this song, and know who just Judy blue eyes is....... Judy Collins.... man I miss the old days, can I go back??? please?
So very true’ The cord changes Stills makes with such ease. And sing at the same time ❤ One of the greatest ever.☮️ The loss of Crosby has been hard. Please pray for one and all.✌️
Stephen Stills is a music god........... he IS music.....I love all of CSN, but to me, Stills is the heart...... I never realized how much of their music is not just his voice but his guitar also.......
This music is still with me after more than 50 years. I learned English at school because I wanted to understand this and other American songs. So much beauty in the music and the lyrics.
Stephen Stills has the most beautiful, melodic voices in rock - even today his voice is incomparable. He opens his mouth and the lyrics just soar. When you combine the voices of Graham Nash and David Crosby with his ( yes, and Neil's) ...it's sheer heaven for your ears. Orgasmic.
I can honestly say I only got high on the music, never needed anything else, Jesus kept me happy...but the times still live inside me even now. I was a hippie then and still am now....and still feel the same about this music...it lives inside me....and I love it so much.
I am 51 and try to explain to my 13 year old daughter about the time when music was music and harmony and long ballads were cool..She loves Dave Bowie and Zeppelin so I am winning her over slowly..
That's Joni Mitchell beside him. I agree. Coming of age in the 60-70's was an experience that is hard to explain and like no other, musically and otherwise . Glad that I was there and part of it,
wow! i had not heard stephen go off like that on the acoustic! just a hint at the nearly limitless possibilities the instrument has, in the hands of a master! i am reminded of richie havens, only moreso!
were blessed to grow up in the best of days, saddened to grow up in the worst of times, all according to your own mind. Great music is however not up to debate: BRILLIANT!
hidden from the public in the minimal view section of youtube, hidden by the music industry so that they can elevate to power pseudo artists with pseudo music
@@19501960 They play computer and drum machine. Nothing that requires craft or heart. Soulless autotuned garbage for a Brave New World... and they are welcome to it.
Beautiful music, honest singing, no backup dancers to distract - no need for autotune or computer enhancement. Individually or as a group, CSN&Y were among the best of singer / songwriters from a magical era. Glad that their music was part of the soundtrack of my life -- then and now.
Stephen and the late, awesome Glen Campbell were absolute masters at flatpicking......Rest in eternal peace, David, your voice and music will live on in our hearts forever.
Stephen Stills' voice has always been and always will be my all time favorite; not to mention his incredible guitar playing. So blessed I was able to see these 3 awesome musicians in concert 8 times. I only wish there would have be one more concert tour...but I'm painfully quite certain that is not in the cards. CSN always in my heart and always playing in my home and car 'til I part this Earth!! 💚💚💚💚💚💚
brings back so many memories; 4+20 I first heard on a walkman after getting stoned somewhere in VE during the spring of fresh yr in college and then heard them live that summer in Richmond 1987. nice mix, amazing, thanks
Looks like Joni MItchell sitting to the left and behind Stephen, and David Crosby sitting to her left. I'm really fortunate that I grew up in those times, they were magical and transcendent, and we really all did want peace, and decided to be that, that would be our walk, to the very end.
The Still's guitar solo is amazing. I think I heard a little Andalusian/North African lute channeled within those extraordinary riffs. What an ending... Thanks to the group and to the videographer.
That was FABULOUS. The early clip with Stills singing in obviously a writers circle with the beautiful young Joni Mitchell in the green dress admiring his work. Great post. Thanks.
It was on a special Dick Cavett show broadcast. All the artists went from Woodstock straight to that show. There's other footage showing the conversations with the artists. Joni Mitchell was the o ly one on the show who didn't make it to Woodstock. She was getting a chopper ride over it and thought it would be too hard to make it in. But her view helped her write the song that CSN&Y put out on their Deja Vu album.
Perfection of lyrics and harmony; ageless and timeless. We're lucky to have been around since they formed .... How many roads have we all travelled to be at the place we now are.........
I raced to the front as soon as they opened the doors to a Stills concert in Atlantic City casinos years ago. Got first seat, so close I could put my elbows on the stage. I yelled approvals at each song. At one point I requested "4+20." Stills said, "Oh, that's too sad!" Never played it. But I forgive u, Stephen. One of few rockers who excels at all aspects of the profession; first CSN album was a virtual Stills tour de force, playing all instruments except 🥁 drums, and Nash and Crosby following his lead. Distinct 🎸 guitar style too.
He sad he wrote it at a very depressed time in his life. Yes, but that's what real poets do for us - they write what we also feel, but can't express. He's a gift.
Gloria, I am also a huge Neil young fan , but also love the voice of David Crosby and Graham Nash. Combine Stephen Stills songwriting abilities with his incredible guitar playing , then add his incredible voice and you have an incredible music making machine ! Individually or as a group they are amazing !
I was very fortunate to attend what was to be CSNY"a final concert back in 1977 at the Denver Broncos' Mile High Stadium. One of Barry Fey's amazing 12 hour concerts he was known for at Red rocks, Mile High stadium, Denver's Auditorium Arena, Folsom Field, etc... To concur with Barry Fey "There are no music acts worthy to stand up to the mega bill shows. So glad to have experienced such fantastic shows!!
This is such a beautiful piece the wrote!!! Never will it go old.. ever. Little tiny canary going out lamenting...what a lyric...the 60’s one of a kind year... no one can surpass the emotions (true) and love of art, very well respected!!!✌️🤘🏼🌼❤️
Crosby, Stills and Nash, é lenda. Separados em trabalhos solo, juntos, em revesamento, são sempre excelentes e inesquecíveis. A harmonia vocal e instrumental desses músicos é algo de memorável, difícil de ser ver em grupos de rock. Aliás, eles não se limitam a uma banda de rock, e sim um grupo de faz música contemporânea. Inesquecível.
This guy is one of the truly greatest exponents of the Martin acoustic guitar..his tunings and inventive percussive playing is unlike any other artist....and hes a great singer/songwriter...i mean Suite Judy Blue eyes is a masterpiece of guitar artistry and songwriting...😊
I used to get the same grief, LR. Don't let anyone come between you and the music that moves you. They've been the soundtrack to my soul since I was 9 and the Southern Cross video came out~
Poor Crosby is struggling with liver issues here, I have lost several friends and before the transplant you cannot move much and after it is difficult.. it's a miracle he is still with us.
Total respect for the man for turning himself in, doing what needed to be done, sticking with it, being with his oldest son, having a new one and a decades-old marriage. I don't know many people who could do that.
...and nash was from the hollies, who at the time were making big pop hits in britain. but they didn't particularly like the direction graham nash wanted to go in. so he floated around until he met the laurel canyon group. finally he felt at home and was a genuine genius contribution to the harmony of csn&y.
Amazing tune, master craft songwriting. Can never get enough 4 + 20, recently found an amazing cover of this by a new young band that definitely appreciates the greats! !!"4 + 20" - Giantess!!
Those lines have been with me for many years... they always come back at those...down moments! Hope you're feeling better than you were a year ago (unless I completely misread your mood!)
I'm a big Neil Young fan but I think Stills was so under rated. All the raving about David Crosby when he was just a minor player in all this! Love Stephen Stillls 1

Stephen Stills is by far one of the greatest dudes to grace the stages of music!
every child of the 60's - 70's should know/appreciate this song, and know who just Judy blue eyes is....... Judy Collins.... man I miss the old days, can I go back??? please?
Stephen Stills is a master on the acoustic. I always loved his voice too. Very unique.
I loved what Hendrix had to say when asked whether Clapton was best on guitar. "Those who would say that, have never heard Stills on acoustic!."
Wow never heard this but he was right!
Absolutely
So very true’ The cord changes Stills
makes with such ease. And sing at the same time ❤
One of the greatest ever.☮️
The loss of Crosby has been hard. Please pray for one and all.✌️
He would often defer compliments and praise to others. He often referred to Teri Kath as the best player.
That's pretty fair, as well. Kath was good.
Stephen Stills is a music god........... he IS music.....I love all of CSN, but to me, Stills is the heart...... I never realized how much of their music is not just his voice but his guitar also.......
yes
I only found out recently that he was partially deaf.
WOW - that guy knows his way around a guitar!!!! FANTASTIC!!!!
This song gives me shivers! Stills is at his absolute best! Love them still today!
This music is still with me after more than 50 years. I learned English at school because I wanted to understand this and other American songs. So much beauty in the music and the lyrics.
I lost my son in 2021 at age 40. RIP. May God hold you close until we see each other again. Love, Mom
God Bless 💔🌹

Crosby, Stills & Nash -- I just love everything they've put out
Im 17 and i know this right here is timeless music
Brilliant guitarist, Stills.
+B Smith why the quotes?
S Stills, Formed the transition of time and Rock and ROLL that was easy and fun to listen to.Amazing and gifted musician ☮️✌️🌺
God damn they are so soul pleasing its just beautiful

matchless! and these wonderful male voices!
I'm only a fair lady of 27 but this is one of my favorite songs. My father taught me well, what good music was.
My first CSN concert was 1987 right after David got out of Fair oaks rehab so glad I got to see them many times over my life
He didn't 'get out of Fair Oaks', he says he escaped. He got straight in prison,
Music pure simple brings a tear to your eye these guys were, are brilliant together
Beautiful, really unbelieveble
were blessed to grow up in the best of days, saddened to grow up in the worst of times, all according to your own mind. Great music is however not up to debate: BRILLIANT!
Fuckin' Brilliant... Where is the next generation of this...????
a very concerning question jam. where are they.
they're all trained as musicians in college these days, much less chance of a rebel makin it nowadays.

This and Neil's "Old Man" on the BBC are two of the best live performances that I've experienced.
True!
Just yesterday I read someone saying Stephen Stills is an under-rated guitarist, which brought me to this video....and yes, I totally agree!

They were awesome!
as u can see, Nash was dacing around lol
Beautifully spoken; I so agree and know that this band of musicians will be among my top faves til the day I say "good bye" to this life
A beautiful song lyrically and musically . The words explain the psyhe of

Amo este tema...aunque soy tan abuela como ellos♥️♥️♥️♥️from Chile
I love this mans music! I saw CSNY april 2000 they played their 1999 album and then everthing from the past . it was killer! i loved this video thanx
When music was sweet and special 😊 ohhh, how special it was - what talent! I miss those times.
Damn...his voice...THEIR voices are just incredible. Stills just keeps gettin' better and better.
absolutely amazing display of musical talent...
I'm now 108 years old and I still love this song just as much as I did when I was 107! I love it even more than my regular regimen of Fleet E*&$#s!
How old are you, now that it's 11 yrs. later since your comment?!! 😆😉

Best harmony band I know. Enjoy life guys and thanks for the beautiful music.
David was fighting his inner demons here. So glad he got his shit together.
Crosby, Stills & Nash -- I just love everything they've put out ever
Terri, you are so right, these artists are to me the best when it comes to harmonizing !! Never get tired of listening to them !
i just luuuurve them. special memories..a great energy
the last minute + is just amazing guitar playing

Very few songs touch my soul like this one.
Exactly❤️
4 and 20 love that too
Wow! It's nice to see and hear these guys in their prime. We need to be reminded how great their performances were. Flawless. Wow, just wow!
Was privledged to see C.S and N. last night in Des Moines, Iowa. Thanks Tom and Wayne Adams for your company and the memories this brought back!

Escuché 4 + 20 por primera vez en 1979, era estudiante, fue el comienzo de una fascinación que aún dura. Gracias y saludos desde Buenos Aires!
Great team of singer songwriters sharing and caring to the max for the benefit of all.
These three have one of the most distinctive sounds in music! Effortless
JUST SUPERB!!! Thanks for posting this gem

Just love that bare-footed Graham can hardly contain himself!

The 4&20 performance was a day after Woodstock. They still had mud on their clothes. This was the Dick Cavett ShowJoni Mitchell missed Woodstock for.
Actually that night... they played at Woodstock at 3 am, then Caveat was that night.
what an incredible song
This guy is one of the truly greatest exponents of the Martin acoustic guitar..his tunings and inventive percussive playing is unlike any other artist....and hes a great singer/songwriter...i mean Suite Judy Blue eyes is a masterpiece of guitar artistry and songwriting...😊
Only word to describe this vid... AWESOME!
Gotta love Crosby!
legend has it David Crosby is actually still standing in that exact same spot
Lol
You just filled my eyes with tears.
Thank you for the amazing post. That’s truth.☮️🤔💔
I used to get the same grief, LR. Don't let anyone come between you and the music that moves you. They've been the soundtrack to my soul since I was 9 and the Southern Cross video came out~
This first part is from the Dick Cavett show right after Woodstock, CS&N, Joni Mitchell, and the Jefferson Airplane were the guests.
Poor Crosby is struggling with liver issues here, I have lost several friends and before the transplant you cannot move much and after it is difficult.. it's a miracle he is still with us.
Total respect for the man for turning himself in, doing what needed to be done, sticking with it, being with his oldest son, having a new one and a decades-old marriage. I don't know many people who could do that.
Crosby looked like he was right back at Woodstock in this vid! flash backs? LOL these guys are some of THE best!
Haunting.... Love this stuff. I think Deja Vu is in top 10 albums of all time
Has there ever been better harmony singer than Graham Nash? Maybe Phil Everley but it is always a pleasure to hear. Thanks for putting up.
...and nash was from the hollies, who at the time were making big pop hits in britain. but they didn't particularly like the direction graham nash wanted to go in. so he floated around until he met the laurel canyon group. finally he felt at home and was a genuine genius contribution to the harmony of csn&y.

Stills mentioned that cover and says he really likes them.
Stills, an amazing folk guitarist!
Watch Wembley 1974. You are limiting him.
Beautiful sounding guitar.
STEPHEN.FREAKING.STILLS.
It's actually for both. Stephen Stills used this tuning on several songs. It works very well for "Carry On"
raw shows what a talent stepen stills is on guitar
Uma das canções mais lindas que ja ouvi...puro anos 70 ... salve Stills
Stills, Unbelievable!!!!
Defreakinlicious guitar work - a rarified pleasure to invite into ones senses...
Timeless song
I was around back then, when these were new songs.
I embrace the many colored beast. I grow weary of the torment, can there be no peace?
And I find myself just wishing that my life would simply cease.
Those lines have been with me for many years... they always come back at those...down moments! Hope you're feeling better than you were a year ago (unless I completely misread your mood!)
Hey rev in the words of winston Winston Churchill if your'er going through hell keep going
From a 24 year old. There's already a lifetime of pain and experience in there that he never went into.

I saw Janis and big brother and the holding co. and Strawberry Alarmclock in San Diego in 1967. Killer show,think i was stoned but can remember.
Beautiful harmonies!
Awesome video. The style of Stills' guitar solo at the end reminds me a lot of the way John Butler plays
