After seeing Crosby, Stills and Nash live in the late 1990's I can fully attest to this. Stills guitar playing live was astounding and I had been listening to his music for years but never live. It was a completely new experience. I remain blown away decades later.
Stephen Stills is one of the most underappreciated musicians of the past half century. Great vocalist, guitarist, writer, and producer. I first heard him in Buffalo Springfield, but he's been instrumental (no pun intended) in forming several other groups. Listen to some Manassas! By the way, he's the lead guitar on this song.
I remember listening to this in my sister's room as a kid. Shag carpet on the walls, bead and shells in strings hanging in the doorway, the smell of incense drifting through the air, and mom yelling "turn down that damn hippy crap" from downstairs. oh my....those were the days!!
😊 it sounds like my house. Except it was my father yelling "Turn that God damn hippie music off!" "Jesus Christ why do they always have to scream!" So I saved up some money and bought a pair of Koss headphones. That ended that.
I was just a kid when this came out, too, and my sister and brother and I would pretend to be hippies. One of us would play the role of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the Beatles' guru, and order the others to sit in the lotus position and meditate.
My brothers had this playing in their room and my sister and I would go in. Susie sometimes but me always dancing around minus the decor add posters instead
Nobody harmonized quite like CSNY. They really set the bar high. And all their music was meaningful. Just a joy to listen to. Thanks for reacting to this one. Have a great night.
Another song where I’m reacting “I grew up at the right time”. The 1970s had more incredible music than any decade. I’m lucky. And I’m happy y’all liked this.

I was about to say the same thing. I am forever grateful to have lived during this era. From their first album in '69 ( still have it ) to listening to them now on TH-cam, with young folks reacting to their magic, I've been there with them. There's just one puzzling question that keeps popping up: I was 24 years old in 1969 - my next birthday I'll turn 78...where the hell did all that time go???
This whole album is worth your time. Not a concept album, but put together in a way that takes you on a journey, but not an unfamiliar one. Deja Vu is not just a clever title. I love that you love it, but there's more to love.
I was looking for this comment. Definitely one of the greatest albums ever, worth a full and complete listen from time to time. Carry On is just the first track.
CSN&Y is a collection of some of the best artist musicians the world has ever known. David Crosby of the Byrds; Stephen Stills of Buffalo Springfield and Manassas; Graham Nash of the Hollies; and Neil Young of Buffalo Springfield. They all had solo careers and also came together as CSN&Y to create music that will forever enrich all of us. Thanks for this.
Stephen Stills is the creative power of Crosby, Stills and Nash. Their harmonies are stellar, but on their first album, he played every instrument except for drums, and occasionally bass. He's an exceptional guitar player, had a soulful voice and was a marvelous composer as well. And he has genetic deafness that started to affect him as a child - so how did he create and perform so spectacularly? He's a treasure.
@@60sbaby456 yeah i'm a 70 year old rock and metalhead and bassist that almost gave up on finding good new stuff to listen to. nothing on mainstream radio but the usual hip hop , rap crap and pop music by the american idol crowd. BUT - 6 years ago i discovered a genre of music i never would have known existed if not for youtube. japanese all female rock and metal bands ! don't laugh - just watch the video for the song 'holy war' by the band LOVEBITES at zepp diver city tokyo in 2020 and you will have found the most amazing girl group that ever took the stage. no growling and screaming and they sing in english. more talent in one band than i've seen in 30 or more years. 60 songs - all self written - all masterpieces with NO bad songs
I believe it's Steven Stills on guitar. He wrote this song by putting an unfinished song in the beginning and Questions, which was a Buffalo Springfield song at the end
I’m so lucky that I can hear this track and it takes me instantly back to my Hippie youth and all the feelings that were in the air during those times. The journey isn’t done and much of the same work still needs to be completed, but music like this can remind us of the original intentions. Love and Peace. ✌️
"Ohio" hasn't lost any of its impact...I was in college in Canada when that happened but it was still a disturbing wake-up call not unlike the deaths at the Altamont Festival the year before.
@Richard2003 These days it's quite common to see media coverage of security forces firing indiscriminately at groups of people, not to mention all the mass shootings that have become so common, but back then it must have been profoundly shocking for those who witnessed the Kent State shootings.
Such a Classic from These Guys! Just Iconic! And with some Iconic Harmonies too! :) Just LOVE IT! So nice, and So Glad to hear It Again! Great Reaction, You Guys! ... Change of Pace mid-song was a Surprise, No? Have a Great Week Ahead! :)
I've known and loved CSN(&Y) since I was a kid! The vocal multi-tracking is always so great. There is a 'double punch-in' about 2:30-2:40 on "To sing the blues..." that is just an artifact that makes it all-the-more real.
I believe this is actually 2 songs. The first one os Carry On which is followed by Question. The 2 songs are connected by a musical bridge. Love both songs!
Doesn't sound like Neil's phrasing anywhere here. On Almost Cut My Hair, he and Stephen trade off and blend in torrid soloing, but I don"t think Neil's on this one.
Magical song, one of my all-time favorite songs, can't help but sing along to it every time it plays. The changeup to Questions is just musically otherworldly!
Once again…an album cut that really must be appreciated by listening to the entire LP from start to finish. And Young is instrumental to the song, some pun intended. This is on my shelf, I bought it the day it was released. Over 50 years later, still pristine.
Y’all haven’t done Wooden Ships. Amazing harmonies and powerful lyrics. And the opening lyrics are right up your alley. “ If you smile at me I will really understand 'Cause that is something everybody everywhere Does in the same language”

In early 1970, C,S,N&Y did two incredible social commentary tunes: Ohio and Find The Cost Of Freedom. Ohio is a song by Neil Young. The flip side of the 45 record is Find The Cost Of Freedom, and it features incredible guitar work and ends with beautiful harmonies. I believe you should try both of those tunes.
Very under-rated wah wah pedal player too. Besides both CS&N and CSN&Y albums, he does great wah wah work on Super Session, his early solo albums and with his later band Manassas.
John Bob BBOB BIT T. John Bobbitt. Hate place the guitar John Bobbitt Hey Bixby John john does John Bobbitt Bob BIT T John bob and he was popular in the late 80s. You can look up, John Bob at do some research. He is very popular John was John Bobbitt.
The Deja Vu Album is my #1 favorite album of all time. Even though I like me some Disturbed, Metallica, John Denver, Commadors, Heatwave, Peter Gaberial, The Who, and SRV. So I am all over the place. But this album speaks to me of a time and feeling that we will never see again. Guess I am just getting old. Love you guys! Thanks for all you do!
Awesome song !! One of my favorites ! It takes me back to the seventies, my hippie days with bell bottom jeans with patches and embroidering with suns and rainbows and flowers 🌸 ❤️❤️❤️🤟🏼✌🏼🖖🏻🐇🪽
Amber, If you want to hear an otherworldly display of their harmonies, you’ve gotta hear “Guinevere”!!! You wanna talk about going to another place! That song is one of the most hauntingly beautiful melodies I’ve ever heard in my entire life and easily ranks as one as one of my top five as Jay would say 🤭Seriously though I dare say that I’ve never heard such beautiful harmony and melody in any other song from that genre that I can think of🤷🏻One of my all time favorites😌✌️🫶
“Carry On/Questions” is actually the opening track of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s “Deja Vu” album. “Questions” is actually a reworked Buffalo Springfield song written by Stephen Stills. Buffalo Springfield, of course, also featured Neil Young. On a personal note, Stills & Young first met in my hometown of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada.
Except Neil Young isn't playing on this track. This was recorded when the band was having difficulties with each other and it was hard to keep it together.
@@allengator1914 Neil Young also didn't play on the original Buffalo Springfield version of "Questions" as he had already left the band when Stills recorded it.
Yes, I didn't totally register this until recently, but there are various forms of misinformation out there as well. The album track is called "Carry On" and makes no mention of "Questions" being integral to it, though it obviously is. In one online source, it states that Stills "wrote" this song after being told the band needed a strong opening track for the album "Deja vu". But clearly, he didn't write much that was new, instead incorporating two previous compositions with a bridge that features the "carry on" lines. The finished product is very strong, but I don't think many CSNY fans are aware of the song's origin. Stills wrote "Questions" and recorded it solo except for Richie Furay adding a bit of acoustic guitar and harmony vocal. It's one of his strongest songs, and I still prefer his version of the song in the original Buffalo Springfield album, probably the last song he did for that group as it was falling apart.
My favorite CSN song, released in 1970, and one that I thought Amber would like because of its trippy hippie sound. Another hippie-ish group with great harmonies that y'all should get back to is the Mamas and the Papas. Try their song "Twelve-Thirty" from 1968.
You have taken me back to heaven..... CSN just seem to have an ethereal quality that never seems to fade through the years. I remember them so fondly from my youth, so much so that I bought every album I could lay my hands on whenever it came out. I am now 65 years old and still listen to them regularly. I have been an amateur blues/rock vocalist since my teens and their harmonies are unbelievable every time.
Some people think it is Neil Young on guitar…. It is not. That is Stephen Stills. Young does not appear on this track even though it appears on a CSNY album.
I don’t think anyone was prepared for how awesome these men would be together. Great songwriting, Stephen’s guitar genius, incredible harmonies. CSN were a revelation.
Jay & Amber, You'll love CSN's "Marrakesh Express"!!! edit- correction-Carry On is on a Crosby, Stills Nash & Young album but Young isn't on this album track.
Great reaction. But this song is actually the opening track in the album which you are showing the cover of in the video you are reacting to: DEJA VU. Which as the cover shows was a Crosby, Stills, Nash *AND* Young album. In fact, the first album featuring Neil Young. Just FYI. Also, I think that was Steve Stills on guitar. Also, I think that was the short version of the song. The long album track is better.
Hi guys. I'm a new Subscriber. I grew up in the 60s as a teen with all this music from CSN. I'm so thankful that a lot of young people, like you, can honestly appreciate the wonderful music from this time period. It was so differnet back then. Before mad electronics, before auto-tune, just folks singing and playing standard instruments. It's just no nice to see young people today that still enjoy this incredible music. Keep it up guys. You guys are my favorite reaction team. 💝
This is my dad favorite band. He graduated from college in ‘74. I love them too - they taught me what harmony should be and made me fall in love with 60/70 music.
Definitely great psychedelic music from my time. Thanks for your videos and insights on the music from the past. Jay and Amber Y'all just keep rocking.
Wait! Neil Young was definitely on this LP-- look at "& Young" on the cover! He wasn't on the previous 1st LP. "Carry On" was released as the B-side Of "Teach Your Children" (#16 peak) in 1970. "Carry On" did not get a separate charting the the Billboard Hot 100 but was played on rock radio.
One of my favorite CSN songs. Stephen Stills guitar work was always impeccable from Buffalo Springfield and all through his career! For fantastic acoustic guitar picking and ultra incredible vocals, you can’t beat Guinevere, from their utterly amazing debut album. David Crosby and Graham Nash’s vocals and Crosby’s acoustic guitar are out of this world!! And the song itself is simply beautiful!!
Stills did the first lead break and then the wahwah work at the end. Young played teh middle break and added some work at the outro. Listen to Steven Stills 'Nothing to Do but Today' if you want to hear some definite grooved guitar work
I started singing with my brothers and parents during the years these amazing vocal talents were harmonizing. 60's thru 80's, vocals were appreciated and sought after by the fans. I don't know what happened when the 90's hit...but it seemed as more of your top 100 charts in many generes started to feature solo artists...w maybe back-up singers....but the harmonizing days were over for most main stream genres.
Stephen Stills. One of the most underrated guitarists ever.

Stills is absolutely overlooked when discussing the best guitarists.
And underappreciated songwriter.
Agree and then there are his musical arrangements. He is a master.
PLEASE listen to some Manassas! That music has been rooting around in my head for 50 years!
He also has a major hereditary hearing loss and still sounds this phenomenal. He also plays the Hammond Organ on the recording. Phenomenal musician!
I remember listening to this in my sister's room as a kid. Shag carpet on the walls, bead and shells in strings hanging in the doorway, the smell of incense drifting through the air, and mom yelling "turn down that damn hippy crap" from downstairs. oh my....those were the days!!

I agree they have amazing harmony but I don’t think they an hold a candle to the Eagles. Seven Bridges Road is the ultimate harmonization.
I'd say they are equal in talent, especially harmonies. But you are certainly entitled to your opinion.

Indeed - well said
I love their music. Always have their harmonies were so good. Rest in peace, David Crosby 🙏🏾🙏🏾

The harmonies were spot on with this song, and that "nasty" guitar work was Stephen Stills.

I have been an amateur blues/rock vocalist since my teens and their harmonies are unbelievable every time.
CSN has a great sound.. if you want more, try " Southern Cross" another great one.
Deja Vu. Classic album. Great players who join them here. Greg Reeves Dallas Taylor, THE Jerry Garcia,
John Sebastian. And Young. : )
probably my favorite tune by this group. that and woodstock.
Some people think it is Neil Young on guitar…. It is not. That is Stephen Stills. Young does not appear on this track even though it appears on a CSNY album.
I don’t think anyone was prepared for how awesome these men would be together. Great songwriting, Stephen’s guitar genius, incredible harmonies. CSN were a revelation.
Jay & Amber, You'll love CSN's "Marrakesh Express"!!!
edit- correction-Carry On is on a Crosby, Stills Nash & Young album but Young isn't on this album track.
Amber's giggle there at the end says all there is to say! 😁 ❤
Stephen Stills is a prolific writer and performer. I especially like the double album “Manassas”
Stephen Stills played those clean guitar lines. He also was the individual voice calling with all responding in harmonies.
Great reaction. But this song is actually the opening track in the album which you are showing the cover of in the video you are reacting to: DEJA VU. Which as the cover shows was a Crosby, Stills, Nash *AND* Young album. In fact, the first album featuring Neil
Young. Just FYI.
Also, I think that was Steve Stills on guitar. Also, I think that was the short version of the song. The long album track is better.
The smiles on your faces said it all. Caught them in concert back in the 80's, when they toured the U.K.
Their harmonies are so good, very pleasing to the ear. Good song. I suggest "Teach Your Children."
"Teach Your Children" is one of the best songs ever created. Truly inspired!
Listening to the radio back in the day CSN&Y sounded like nothing else. Just great on so many levels
Almost certainly Stephen Stills on guitar and a bit of Neil Young. Check out Wooden Ships! One of their most underrated songs
Young didn't play or sing on this one.
Stephen Stills plays most of the instruments on this song himself. No Neil Young on this one.
@@magneto7930Stephen played every instrument except drums on this track!
@@kona883 I pretty much said that, but yes. I was mostly pointing out that Neil Young is not on this recording at all.
I saw them in concert at Constitution Hall about 1976-ish. They played a 3.5 hour concert, acoustic to electric to acoustic. It was AWESOME!!!
You can’t be in a bad mood listening to CSNY ❤
Even when Neil plays Don't Let It Bring You Down.
Hi guys. I'm a new Subscriber. I grew up in the 60s as a teen with all this music from CSN. I'm so thankful that a lot of young people, like you, can honestly appreciate the wonderful music from this time period. It was so differnet back then. Before mad electronics, before auto-tune, just folks singing and playing standard instruments. It's just no nice to see young people today that still enjoy this incredible music. Keep it up guys. You guys are my favorite reaction team. 💝
Don't forget Neil Young. This was Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young
But Neil Young didn't play or sing on this one.
Superb harmony through all the verses snd choruses. Very unique.
Stephen Stills plays both guitar and organ on this recording
Stephen Stills - vocals; guitars; bass; organ; percussion
This is my dad favorite band.
He graduated from college in ‘74.
I love them too - they taught me what harmony should be and made me fall in love with 60/70 music.
Definitely great psychedelic music from my time. Thanks for your videos and insights on the music from the past. Jay and Amber Y'all just keep rocking.
CSN&Y at their finest!!! Oh how I played this album (Deja Vu) to death back in the day. One of my all time favorite albums.
Wait! Neil Young was definitely on this LP-- look at "& Young" on the cover! He wasn't on the previous 1st LP. "Carry On" was released as the B-side Of "Teach Your Children" (#16 peak) in 1970. "Carry On" did not get a separate charting the the Billboard Hot 100 but was played on rock radio.
My favorite song my CSN&Y. Crosby and Nash harmonies were the best in the rock era.
One of my favorite CSN songs. Stephen Stills guitar work was always impeccable from Buffalo Springfield and all through his career!
For fantastic acoustic guitar picking and ultra incredible vocals, you can’t beat Guinevere, from their utterly amazing debut album. David Crosby and Graham Nash’s vocals and Crosby’s acoustic guitar are out of this world!! And the song itself is simply beautiful!!
Little hippie Amber girl. 👍❤🤙
Stills did the first lead break and then the wahwah work at the end. Young played teh middle break and added some work at the outro.
Listen to Steven Stills 'Nothing to Do but Today' if you want to hear some definite grooved guitar work
MORE NEIL YOUNG!!!
"SOUTHERN MAN"
"DOWN BY THE RIVER"
"CINNAMON GIRL"
"MR. SOUL"👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Stills guitar and the production work in general are all superlative in this unusual choice in instrumentation over the Harmonies
Their song "Guinnevere" should be on your list, more beautiful harmony!
I started singing with my brothers and parents during the years these amazing vocal talents were harmonizing. 60's thru 80's, vocals were appreciated and sought after by the fans. I don't know what happened when the 90's hit...but it seemed as more of your top 100 charts in many generes started to feature solo artists...w maybe back-up singers....but the harmonizing days were over for most main stream genres.
Stepehen Stills did most of the great guitar work for the group. He was a master of about six different instruments.
This never gets old! Thanks for sharing your reaction to a favorite!
The harmonies are top notch. The instrumentals don’t really get enough attention.🖖🏼🍻
This is my favorite of all their songs. ❤. Can't get enough of it
Steven Stills sang lead, played lead guitar and wrote most of their songs like this one. Incredible.
And played organ and congas
, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. A great song!! The guitar was, Young!!!!
Saw them in the late 80s. Best outdoor concert ever!!!
