[@jackwhite8736]

Rest in peace David Crosby! A legend that will not be forgotten!!

RIP David Crosby. This will forever be one of my absolute favorite songs ever. Tears are flowing. ♥

[@tim2468]

This has to be one of their best performances ever. They play and sing it with passion. Stills lead is exemplary.

[@briankorbelik2873]

I'll be 66 this year and this song does bring tears to my eyes. In 1989 there was a Byrds reunion and I was lucky enough to attend one of the three shows. Each member came out seperately at the beginning of the show and play one song before the entire band kicked into it. Crosby played "Almost Cut My Hair" By now deceased best friend Bruce and eye just looked at each other, thinking of all the fights we'd had with our parents about hair, and how the po-lice used to pull us over just for having long hair. We felt vindicated, by god.

[@caroltubeyou]

I always knew Crosby had a great voice but it's even more phenomenal than I had ever imagined, especially with his improvisation. Have never seen them perform live. Just awesome.

[@axegas76]

I just didn't know David Crosby could still hit those notes, damn, these guys know the magic, I listen to them and they keep that mystic, they found some truth, they found something that have kept them bringing magic, super strong souls.

[@n40tom]

About 25 years ago a group of us construction workers were on an elevator coming down from the top floor and then David Crosby came on the elevator. Everyone started whispering that's David Crosby. I watched him smile at the recognition. a few floors below he got out. I held the door for a few seconds and then yelled YO he turned and I said don't forget to tell your wife that you were on the elevator with Tom Bradford today. he looked at me and cracked up and said that's good my friend I'll make sure I do that. We all laughed our balls off, it was kind of cool.

[@emmetlyons5299]

Cool story :)

[@ClassicRockDJdotcom]

that story wins the internet!

[@DaStoneboat]

Haha, I had a similar experience, Grand Rapids, Michigan, '88, I think. I was looking down, guy gets on, steps right in front of me, turns his face to the door. Now I have a semi bald guy, curly white hair in front of me. Full bodied. I'm saying to myself, this is David Crosby. Goes up two floors, see him in profile, and I'm sure its him. It was. And I couldn't say a word.

[@LaCosmiatradetuMami]

Grrrrreat story! thanks for sharing.

Just don't like this version, the guitar. Is just wrong

Amazing how these guys still rock!!! Crosby's voice is better than ever, stills is still going strong and as someone said earlier, Nash is the glue that holds everything together. Fantastic, and it has notthing to do with retirement or nostalgia. It's classic and of all times!

[@rollydoucet8909]

No one can dispute the fact that if you grew up during the '60s and '70s and listening to their music, you grew up in the best of times. The times today, are a shit-show compared to those days gone by.

[@catnipsauce9974]

Every time I listen to this song, my eyes develop this terrible leak... such soulful passion resonates with at least SOME members of the newer generations. I am one of these, but I would rest easier at night if I knew there were many others like me. I have so much respect for the movement that yielded such talented social commentary; I wish more bands today would pick up the flag and the cause. We need MARCHING music, not simple entertainment! They're entertaining us to death (or at least numbness)! "Oh, when will they ever learn?"

[@desertswo]

I'm 56. I had long hair and a beard through high school (well, the long hair anyway) and college, and then not knowing what else to do with my BA in Anthropology, became a naval officer. In the 25 years I was in, I always pushed the outside of the envelope with regard to "grooming standards." I retired as a Captain back in 2003, and been wearing my hair long and a beard ever since. Some things just never lose their attraction and letting one's "freak flag fly" was always one for me.

[@westtexas7]

We grew our hair long as a badge, our social statement. Still have it long after 45 years.

yes, the joy of making music together - kurt vonnegut once wrote that mercy is a very good idea, and that he hoped that someday humankind would receive a second good idea - he suspected it had something to do with music - my guess is that it's something like "listen to each other, play in tune and in time, do it from your heart, be a part of something bigger than yourself"

[@joaoguilherme8972]

[@AliasMark69]

This song is one of the best at expressing the culture and attitudes in 1970. In my top 10 favorite songs. Back when this song came out I did not cut my hair for three years, Then my job was more important so I cut it. Now I am happily retired. I haven't cut my hair in over ten years..... I have been fortunate to see C.S.N. Live 3 times. They did this awesome tune each time and the crowd loves it. The last show was at Doubleday Field Cooperstown N.Y. and I recorded the show in full HD 5.1 surround sound The recording is awesome. Have a Splendid Successful Day

[@bretbailey1116]

The absolute ultimate "FUCK YOU!!!" song!!! If you can't be moved by this song especially considering David Crosby's life the last 40 plus years, you aren't alive. The best harmony group hands down. With or without Neil.

[@j.c.5033]

What a legend. I saw CSN on this same tour in Maine. May David Crosby rest in peace.

[@charlescarter9597]

Funny, I think I have listened more to CSN more as they have aged then I did when I was younger. I have always loved the 60's and 70's music but for some reason I think they have aged like fine wine. I'm sure others would disagree but that's my opinion for what it's worth.

[@melissa9375]

Technically, like the Beatles, they aren't Baby Boomers who are post-war (1946-1964). Crosby = 1941, Nash even has a song re being born during the war (1942) and Stills at the very beginning of 1945, so before the war ended. Not being picky - there's line for a reason.
