This wonderful harmony is part of my musical upbringing..as a 5 year old, I reckonized greatness! I will miss Croz forever, but I will carry on his harmonies always...

[@xneapolisx]

I LOVE that line about "...the corner of my my my my mouth" Sung just exactly perfect!

[@jonathanryberg7585]

Graham Nash - genius!

[@danlunham4478]

These guys were just so important to us.

[@anthonyshelton1626]

Still blows my mind that a lad from my hometown of salford played the mighty woodstock ! Love you graham !!!

[@colinhathaway9493]

Is he from Salford? Sure I read somewhere he’s from Denton. Could be wrong though

[@anthonyshelton1626]

His family were all from salford they went to blackpool during the war and come back to salford after , grew up in ordsall where he met alan clarke to form the hollies

This band was amazing....then they were joined by Graham Nash. His vocals took them into legend!

[@RandyPreksta]

Agreed that Nash was (and is) distinctive and a superb vocalist. But, don't you mean then they were joined by Neil Young? CSN was the original trio.

[@coleperry8110]

Randy P. I think he means when Stills and Crosby were initially together before they had met Nash at Mama Cass’s house and sang together for the first time.

[@colby7325]

Idk if he knows that this is graham nash

The joy which they derived from singing "Blackbird" is beautiful to watch.

[@jaxflfreebird]

Marrakesh Express has been so very forgotten. I never liked it much but it didn't deserve to be forgotten the way it seems to have been. I can't remember ever hearing it on any classic rock radio. I'm sure it is heard on those special digital stations and such but the song was lost for the most part to mainstream rock.

[@MIKECNW]

I don't see how it was forgotten. I've heard it on the radio many times over the years.

[@jonnybirchyboy1560]

Probably because classic rock radio are busy playing Won’t Get Fooled Again or Hotel California for the 100000000x time

Actually it's one of my favorite CSN songs because it was a bit more upbeat. But yeah, you don't here it much.

Looking at the world Through the sunset in your eyes Trying to make the train Through clear Moroccan skies Ducks and pigs and chickens call Animal carpet wall to wall American ladies five foot tall in blue. Sweeping cobwebs from the edges of my mind Had to get away to see what we could find Hope the days that lie ahead Bring us back to where they've led Listen not to what's been said to you Would you know we're riding On the Marrakesh Express Would you know we're riding On the Marrakesh Express All on board that train I've been saving all my money just to take you there I smell the garden in your hair Take the train from Casablanca going south Blowing smoke rings from the corners of my my, my, my, my mouth Colored cottons hang in air Charming cobras in the square Striped Djellebas we can wear at home Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express They're taking me to Marrakesh Express Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express Don't you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express They're taking me to Marrakesh All on board that train All on board that train

[@psychodelicrock12]

Richie Furay Stephen Stills Graham Nash and Neil Young should have tour last year as Furay Stills Nash and Young with a drummer, Congo player and bass guitar player in memory of David Crosby and perform songs from the CSNY solo careers Buffalo Springfield, and Poco years.

[@646anep]

Damn Nash's voice is powerful he's pretty far from the mic and you could still hear him clear

[@michaelgraham9774]

Nash could definitely project his vocals well. That combined with him typically taking the higher harmonies makes him the most prominently heard voice out of Crosby, Stills or Neil

Stills and/or Crosby mess up and only sing the second chorus once (around 1:55) Nash is understandably a little pissed and forced to end it early.
