i choked on hello and tripped on goodbye.

[@michaelcalkins8648]

RIP David Crosby for bringing us these incredible harmonies.

[@mydoggie1103]

Those harmonies, magical! RIP David.

[@FATLANG]

Crosby had the ears and the voice. Harmonies were his LIFE

[@jane-mariegifford1156]

Whenever I can join in with the harmonies, my soul soars...what a blessing to join in..

[@georgerivera8406]

I’m absolutely floored by this incredible rendition we’ve all been listening for all these years!

[@NeilB-y6y]

A wonderful use of poetry. The alliteration is masterful and will never be out of place.

[@rhp_6926]

I was at that show. The big rumor was that Neil Young was gonna show up. Kinda glad he didn't.

[@sherryherrick6567]

Yeah, cuz its Neil's world & we are just paper dolls at his beckon call

[@englishdidacticskuei4587]

Legends.

[@0HARE]

Thanks for your artistry, fellas. I lived and breathed this album in my teen years. It enriched my life immeasurably. Good Vibrations

[@DirtyOldMountainGoat]

Croz is the one who brings the two dominant voices together

[@melissa9375]

Stills said Crosby was the honey between them.

[@brucemoeller]

Happy Anniversary. So much has changed in those 51 years. We're so far from Peace. Only with Jesus.....

[@RacerPaul3]

You can’t do 3-part harmony better than this

[@yvesbrisabois5972]

Une merveille

[@steveconn]

RIP the great Garth Hudson (inauguration probably pushed him over), say hi to Robbie, Rick, Levon and Richard. Just got a fresh Basement Tapes, the great Cecile Richards, and the genius cartoonist/playwright Jules Feiffer ❤🎉🎉🎉

[@exjazzer]

I was 19, great memories.

[@MrRjcosta]

I was 2, and listening in 2021😊! God bless all🙏☀️

[@sheila2590]

Brilliant to say the very least

[@Sherrie275]

Splendid...once in a lifetime harmony perfected!

[@martinherve2688]

Simply is the best !!!

[@scottbartlett4853]

Please see how Crosby recognizes the out of tune guitar before they start. Graham and Steven both check and Crosby tells Stills the E string. A hell of a lot of bad things could be said about Crosby but his ear was never one of those.

[@matthiasscherzer4231]

They are so phantastic!

[@lynneforsyth8231]

A favourite of mine ❤

[@martinamanecke3622]

I wonder what the cameraman made ignore Davids singing, so he was just focusing on Stephen and Graham?

[@chrp3229]

Its 2024 and I saw the original the first time :-c I love this music!

[@ralphbourke5473]

I was a drummer in a rock band back then and we tried to play several of their songs, my opinion the band was never the same the day Young left. " Best Music Ever "

[@DavefromIndy]

While CSNY was incredible, CSN never needed Y. CSN was magical and what they accomplished has stood the test of time.

[@adrianboshoff1582]

I want to be this good... ♥️😎

[@jlswickhaber]

Gorgeous! & that smile from Croz at the end...priceless!

[@s.greasey7654]

Best harmonizers in the business!!

[@SlowBloke123]

That’s S&G

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

@@SlowBloke123no it’s not, although they are also superb. CSN are THE best.

[@SlowBloke123]

@@Eleventhearlofmars oh yes it is!

[@stevensnyder1133]

I'll throw in Poco as a "best harmonies" contender. Poco came on the heels of Buffalo Springfield's breakup.

[@RJs_CC]

Stephen's Lambchops are WORLD CLASS here ...

[@richardlanahan8089]

This was a Manassas concert which was clearly Stills' best band ever.

[@jesseadams8925]

Why wasn't Crosby also pictured, harmonizing with his band mates in this video?

[@tinyfrog919]

Maybe Croz was little under the weather (not vocally).

[@joepasquarello1273]

Groovy

[@scottbacker7238]

Helplessly hoping her harlequin hovers nearby Awaiting a word Gasping at glimpses of gentle true spirit, he runs Wishing he could fly Only to trip at the sound of goodbye Wordlessly watching, he waits by the window and wonders At the empty place inside Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams, he worries Did he hear a goodbye? Or even hello? They are one person They are two alone They are three together They are for each other Stand by the stairway, you'll see something certain to tell you Confusion has its cost Love isn't lying, it's loose in a lady who lingers Saying she is lost And choking on hello They are one person They are two alone They are three together They are for each other

[@jennybh08]

Damn….that’s all I can say. Damn.

[@eduardoalcala8310]

Graham's voice is pure magic 2:19

[@cinnamongirl7877]

My thoughts exactly

[@fleurafricaine5740]

In the stratosphere

[@Tatochka15]

They are three together... so why don't we see Crosby ?? 😅

[@MultiRose1000]

❤❤❤

[@appamtnculture1302]

Weird that Crosby was cut out of the video during the singing.

[@debrasoiseth7507]

Even Stephen Still had tuning problems, and he didn't have a tuner, had to tune it by ear. Then he kicked it off too fast. Even the big boys had problems. LOL

[@christheother9088]

For a second I thought they were going to just grind it out with the bad tuning.

[@Dbeukes1]

Are you fu.. for real 😳

[@fleurafricaine5740]

Easier to separate out the individual parts in this recording. On the album it’s much harder cuz they’re so damn tight & seamless.

[@alpastor666]

this is sick as fuck

[@blakenorman4822]

I second that

[@faethraziel]

Can someone that understand a bit of human voice explain to us exactly which mode each are using? It sounds simple yet i can't take one apart from the other ig stills is using head voice and the other two are using the upper parts of the same register (falsetto) [btw if there's anything wrong bare in mind I'm here to learn so any mistakes just let me know]

[@benmayo1630]

I’m no singer or know anything about it, but it sounds like Crosby is merely speaking his lines. I know he isn’t but that’s how my ears give it to me

[@virgilc1151]

The sound is made by stills and nash. Where is -crosby?

[@rayleung6951]

I can hear his voice, especially at the latter part.

[@rickward3363]

Your opinion and am happy to respect it. But I disagree. Those harmonies, as others have pointed out, are damn good. There was a reason those popularity continued after NY’s departure.

[@us-Bahn]

Crosby given middle child treatment by the camera editor.

[@didiervillagra7923]

Professionalism in motion....

[@rickfigueiredo9764]

You need a roadie 3

[@acdebiase]

Sucks when you can't hear the note and you're the one playing the fucking guitar, Steven

[@springertube]

I've found it amazing over my 55+ years of playing (mostly avocationally amateur) how many fellow musicians, though they are excellent once in tune, have no clue, and are extremely dependent on tuners, or having someone like Croz in the mix. Some people just don't have a good ear for such. You've got to play at least in relative tune (strings to each other)... and that's all that's really needed if you just have a guitar or two or three, just tune to each other... Even without a tuner, somebody get in relative tune and have the rest follow (except you don't want to be way overtuned for the sake of the guitar).... Obviously not sufficient if you've got other band instruments; you need a tuner... or you can tune to piano/keyboard, ideally. Even then, all you really need is to hear a high E (two to the right of middle C) and enough of an ear to tune the rest accordingly.
