I wish it could bridge the gap between Graham Nash and David Crosby once again. Love Crosby Stills Nash and Young. The music of a generation for certain!
Joni Mitchell left Graham for James so I often wondered if Graham and James speak to each other So I’m very happy to see that James is doing his induction.
They were a group that changed history not only during Woodstock and Kent State and veitnam they shook the world with there music like southern Cross . Ohio . Judy blue eyes . Teach your children. And so many more to many to mention
James Buckley -- CSN’s harmonies are as legendary and timeless as music itself. I have been a huge fan of the Everly brothers. They too had the most recognizable harmonic blend of anyone before them and it’s only been since CSN’s arrival that Phil and Don Everly had competition. Musical artists can only DREAM about matching the unique and haunting harmonies like CS&N. Sorry we lost the Everly Brothers and for me, I’m enjoying as much CS&N’s music as they will make.
Wish Joni Mitchell would get more acknowledgment. She was a MAJOR influence to all theses men. SHE wrote Woodstock!!! This woman needs to more if her Due!
Such a great speech by none other than Mr.James Taylor (a virtuoso himself) on the ''installment'' as he himself said, of CSN one of the first ''Super Bands'' and one of the best Rock, Folk rock/Acoustic and Harmonies based bands that came out of the late 60's making the 70's one of their best decades. I considered myself lucky for watching them live well lots or rather several times; sometimes with Neil but most by themselves. Long may they run! Thanks for the upload. t up Gus
I had the great pleasure to crew for David on the Schooner Mayan, and met them all - I call 'em Da Boyz. They are remarkable human beings, aside from their music.
Crosby hit the nail right on the head there!! Music is the thing that binds us, particularly CSN Music!! Love you guys! Awesome group, and all have an awesome voice!! All three of you guys ROCK!!
Great speeches. Fantastic musicians. First concert I ever went to (The Band opened) saw them over a dozen times. I'm just sort of sad that nobody mentioned Neil. 3 chances. I know Neil can be a difficult guy, but they did great things together.
❤️Croz 💔humility🌹”honored”😊 “MUSIC IS MAGIC”-His 1st solo LP- Music is Love-masterpiece🎶 Thank my wife-you’re the best friend i’ve ever had- Jan- and i love you!!! Thank the 2 men standing next to me-been brothers to me-love them dearly!!!
Most of these inductions don't do much for me, but this one really got to me. The father (Stills), son (Nash) and the holy ghost (Crosby) - as Don McLean referred to them - live up to their reputations. To see Crosby so grateful after regaining his life, and now to look back over 20 years later and know he really did manage to quiet the demons, is pretty inspiring.
Love CSN ❤️ it sad that there was no mention at all of Neil Young’s contribution…. The Kent State that was mentioned by James Taylor ❤️❤️ was actually a song written and composed by Neil which made a huge impact on an entire generation.
Stephen Stills wrote "Find the Cost of Freedom." With lyrics, "Find the cost of freedom buried in the ground. Mother Earth will swallow you, lay your body down" The song plays as the credits role at the end of the countercultural celebration of the "anti-heroes" Peter Fonda and Jack Nicholson who are murdered just for being "hippies" at the end of Easy Rider. That song became an anthem largely because of the movie. I don't know why this is never mentioned.
Wow.. theses men are the bomb. Didn't have to look at paper. What they said was from the heart. Now they grew older. All have white hair. I wish they could come back to gether again and sing to us all.
I have met this man some many times at the restaurant Kintaro's in Kappa he was a super man he never let it show when I would bring someone to met him I tried to not do it because Kauai HI was a place that everyone just knew everyone and if you were an honest business man you had it made that UIsland so special once David was There. Glenn Fry RIP Lived there also!
As a player I might agree with you but this group isn’t mainly about the playing, it’s about the singing. I’ve see Crosby and Nash by themselves and I can assure you they aren’t eclipsed in the singing/harmonizing department by Stills. The reason the group formed in the first place was what they sounded like when Nash harmonized with them at the party JT mentions which no one agrees where was, hence the reference to “Laurel Canyon.” As a writer, it’s kind of hard to ignore Teach Your Children, Our House, Just A Song Before I Go, or Wasted On The Way, all of which were written by Nash, or Long Time Gone or Deja Vu or even the changes that became Wooden Ships, all of which are Crosby.
Neil wasn't on the first album, was already inducted as a solo artist 2 years earlier, and that same night was Inducted (with Stills) as part of Buffalo Springfield. Probably isn't necessary to induct them all over again... surely everyone feels suitably honored since all four of them are doubly-inducted (Nash with the Hollies and Crosby with the Byrds)?
After watching this many years later I found that bitterness still hold strong ontotwo hearts. David Crosby was the only one that spoke from his heart he also has asked for forgiveness and also called Nash and Stiles his brothers. For Nash to say that he was a Christian he still has total hate in his heart. Stiles never said anything except to Nash and his family and his crazy characters in his life. What the three of them need to remember is that the three of them is why they became famous not one not two but all three. Very sad
Complex, sophisticated, soulful. ? They ran Public Television in the Pacific Northwest during the eighties. Their performances where so responded to when they performed - PBS kept dipping into their well in order to pay for them due to public demand. So much for Jacque Cousteau. James, tell them to please cut us a cheque. La Donna. Xxx.
They could have at least shown some class by burying the hatchet and acknowledging the contribution that Neil Young made for a short time when it was CSNY. You can disagree strongly with someone but still acknowledge the magic that was. Oh well .. a missed opportunity to show who holds the moral high ground. I still love everything they recorded and their tolerance for Crosby's difficult dance with the Devil himself. Their music lives on ... forever ... would love another album boys ...
I was at Kent State University on May 4, 1970. Neil Young wrote the song “Ohio”. This should have included Neil Young! The most normal Crosby has ever appeared.
CSN no Y? No one even acknowledged him or his contributions to the group? I loved he first record and no one has ever made anything like it since, but Deja vu really brought these guys out there. Neil wrote Ohio a well as Helpless, & Country Girl. He was always apart from the trio but he should be part of this legacy IMHO.
Jesus, judging from the comments here, I can't think of another "supergroup" with fans who hated certain members more than the members hated each other.
As much as I think James Taylor made a wonderful, touching speech. The fact he mentioned two songs written by Neil Young and Joni Mitchell probably wasn't wise.
Greatest (besides Beatles) group - Where is Neil Young? Saw the Byrds in Cape Town... phew - height of nazi apartheid regime... was an incredible experience...
I think it might be respect that kept Neil away...he never considered himself a permanent part of that unit, so why come along for the glory and a minute in the spotlight when he doesn't want it?
Because they are extremely good and easy to listen to more than once. While the others you mention are annoying to listen to more than once but they are good writers at times(except Moody Blues they really should be in it before Kiss were).
Leigh Foulkes You don't get it. JT and CSN don't really play rock music. Some of CSN is close but has roots in folk and blues. And James is great too but what he plays isn't rock. That being said, millions of people disagree with you about the other groups....
B. Finley First off The Beatles did the first real stadium tours. But that was before my time.I really don't need the history lesson. I grew up listening to CSNY . They were almost a soundtrack for my life, and yes I saw them at a stadium show in 1974 and it was one of the best gigs ever. I just think people need to expand their horizons a bit. I have seen all the groups I mentioned live with the exception of Kansas and all put on fantastic shows. Open your mind a little bit and don't be such a jackwagon just because you don't agree with me....
Back before the Three (CSN) became unkind and ill will to one another ..... they would make several records as a trio, one with the Canadian N.Y. - who would selfishly divide and command accommodation for his ego .... a great harmonic endeavor was born, developed and determined musicality .... Phenomenal. GBjj
When Graham Nash said his parents were now dead, but not to him, that really moved me to tears!
Dianne, He was a very good soul. Trust me. No wonder you teared; you may have a connection. Has that happened before? Love, L. Let it go. Xxx.
@@ladonnastrang8208 I have both of my beloved parents together in Heaven.I relate..🦋🙏💖
Crosby said it best. Music is magic and it does bridge the gap between people.
I wish it could bridge the gap between Graham Nash and David Crosby once again. Love Crosby Stills Nash and Young. The music of a generation for certain!
Their music is certainly entrancing.
The Coolest thing is to watch James Taylor Think, speak and to be James Taylor!
Stills is an ICON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IMO he's up their with John Lennon
James is so humble.... he's great.
Tim Myles I really noticed that too.
@@debracadabra7260 ...they did play a part in his early career. And he was always a humble and even contrite person.
He sue is! So humble and so non pretentious!
Joni Mitchell left Graham for James so I often wondered if Graham and James speak to each other So I’m very happy to see that James is doing his induction.
The voices of my generation. Sing 🎶 it loud and proud.
Congrats! Wonderful group and each one a beautiful soul! God bless!♥️🙏👏✌️🦋
They each made their contributions, shared some of the same ladies, homes, hangouts, and together they made magic happen. Long May They Run!
That's a Young song, not CSN.
@@peggyrenn6705 But it fits!
Graham Nash - perpetually magical voice. The pillar of CSN harmony.
and the glue that held them together for so long - a prince of a human in my opinion
They were a group that changed history not only during Woodstock and Kent State and veitnam they shook the world with there music like southern Cross . Ohio . Judy blue eyes . Teach your children. And so many more to many to mention
Come on guys; come back !!! We need you now more than ever!!
Amen! One more concert before I go, please!
csny at their best were the best harmonizing group of their era.they used chords that were unheard of in western music!
+James Buckley
Double yes!
James Buckley best vocal group ever are the Beach Boys with Brian Wilson Songs..

James Buckley w
James Buckley these guys are number two in my book as far as harmonizing. The eagles are number one.
I sure loved the Hollies. Saw them in my small southern town when just a kid. RIP Crosby.
Wish Joni Mitchell would get more acknowledgment. She was a MAJOR influence to all theses men. SHE wrote Woodstock!!! This woman needs to more if her Due!
Isn't it just crazy how Joni's phenomenal talent and influence are ignored repeatedly? I don't get it.
Was a pleasure meeting Joni Mitchell back in the day at Columbia Missouri University of Missouri

always loved sweet baby James
I have had the pleasure of seeing them perform twice. I wish it would have more.
A recognition richly deserved.
The best rock group of the 60’s and 70’s
Crosby hit the nail right on the head there!! Music is the thing that binds us, particularly CSN Music!! Love you guys! Awesome group, and all have an awesome voice!! All three of you guys ROCK!!
I constantly repeat myself Mister Saint Stephen Stills amen
So awesome to see James Taylor reaching out and being himself... and introducing such amazing musicians!
So cool to see him... he's so shy... but he nailed this!
Love you guys, thank you for the music
The only band where all the members have been inducted into the hall of fame twice!!!!
What about the Beatles?
BungalowBill905 facts
@@QueenFan12 dont think Ringo has
Dylan Garnet ringo has
Eric Clapton’s in that rare group of THREE time inductees (Yardbirds, Cream, Solo performer)
David's was the most touching, as always.
Amazing character. Capable of such sensitivity and cruelty.
Vinnie Moran Aren’t we all? Rhetorical question.
@Liberty AboveAllElse I'm sure David would agree with you, to be honest.
2 favorite songs: Carry On/Questions and Helplessly Hoping.
Suite Judy Blue Eyes and Woodstock are smoking tunes too
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes..my all time favorite song! They better play it at my funeral!
When I first heard of CS&N, it changed my musical life.
I always find James Taylor speaks really good English. It helps me a lot to learn how to express thought as well as usage of certain words.
He described them as an All Armerican group. Graham Nash was of course in the Hollies, a Manchester, England group of the 1960s.
Frikkin' David Crosby!! Awesome!!
I will never forget the first time I heard Teach Your Children.
CSN & CSN&Y.......CORNERSTONES OF OUR GREAT AGE. I WAS 16 IN 1969 AND I THANK GOD FOR THE TIMING OF MY LIFE.
Great speeches. Fantastic musicians. First concert I ever went to (The Band opened) saw them over a dozen times. I'm just sort of sad that nobody mentioned Neil. 3 chances. I know Neil can be a difficult guy, but they did great things together.

@suzanne farrington Joni was inducted into the R&R Hall of Fame the same night as CSN in 1997! So this night was hers too.
Ohio another song by Neil young
Stephen Stills is an amazing guitar player!
Loving the VCR time clock ! Thanks for posting.
I hate autocracy but maybe James Taylor should be king of the world.

Wow. Only Croz acknowledged the other two.

What a cool bunch of guys! Is it just me or does Stills look like an older version of Kid Rock? LOL
Think it's amazing that J.T. mentioned only songs by CSN&Y rather that CSN...

Neil made ZERO contribution to CSN. That's like saying John Lennon should be thanked for WINGS. Get it?
the music is not only good, the lyrics are too
exactly my point....never heard of em..
Give them a listen!
Crosby in TUX? COOL!!
Awesome
I was at Kent State University on May 4, 1970.
Neil Young wrote the song “Ohio”.
This should have included Neil Young!
The most normal Crosby has ever appeared.

My daughters middle name is Taylor 💕🥰
It's always going to be David, he is the best of all of them.
David is a douchebag
Elaine S he does have a great voice but Stephen Stills and so does Graham Nash and why would you want to compare them
Dave's my fave, but these are just our opinions - can't definitively say which is "best."
As a rule, it is difficult - well Hard, to fix spoiled. Give it a shot Stephen.
James, you're so easily BLOWN awAY. But you're still cool.
As much as I think James Taylor made a wonderful, touching speech. The fact he mentioned two songs written by Neil Young and Joni Mitchell probably wasn't wise.
And misnamed one of them.
I thought the Walrus was Paul. He’s actually David.
now, THAT'S funny
Has anyone else been inducted twice, with two different bands, other than David Crosby?
Yes, Graham Nash, with the Hollies
Paul McCartney - Beatles and Wings.
Moody Blues.......
Hahaha I'd like to install them now, line em up a bit
The same year as Parliament-Funkadelic.
Suite: Judy Blue Eyes ^^^^
I’d still love to see Taylor’s induction into the Hall. I simply cannot seem to find it.
Why didn't they mention Neil Young
Shit I just realised how Nash is the spitting image of Alan Kalter!!
