Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Cinnamon Girl (Live at Farm Aid 2000)

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young perform "Cinnamon Girl" at the Farm Aid concert in Bristow, Virginia on September 17, 2000.
Farm Aid was started by Willie Nelson, Neil Young and John Mellencamp in 1985 to keep family farmers on the land and has worked since then to make sure everyone has access to good food from family farmers. Dave Matthews joined Farm Aid's board of directors in 2001.

Farm Aid's performances are donated by the artists in order to raise funds and raise awareness for family farmers. They've raised their voices to help - what can you do?

Watching this in 2023 & sadly David Crosby is no longer with us. I'm 76 myself & a longtime fan going back to Buffalo Springfield.

[@ronfisher5259]

Turning 75 and still listening to Neil

[@thomastarwater2989]

In memory of David Crosby, who passed away a few days ago. There he was, with Stephen Stills, Graham Nash and Neil Young. Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young were giving a rare performance of “Cinnamon Girl” at the 2000 Farm Aid concert, backed by Donald “Duck” Dunn on bass and Jim Keltner on drums. I can only envy those who were there at the show.

The guitar interplay between Stills and Young is awesome!!!

[@dspf68]

The way Neil approached Stills, both jamming, as good as it gets!

[@lauraquigley1548]

This is what concerts used to be…no dancing, no lip syncing, no gimmicks. Just pure heart, soul, and talent.

[@garyhynes]

They're dancing in their own way, and I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with dancing being part of an artistic act. Still, I agree for the most part. There's a lot of BS these days and not enough heart, soul and talent.

[@tomflynn2912]

Come on, dancing is cool

[@321bytor]

Yeah, nostalgia is not what it used to be 😏

[@patrickb5783]

Cinnamon Girl done by Neil Young and backed by CSN, can't get much better than that, what a great version of that song

[@ppwiii]

Do no forget Duck Dunn.

[@Redshoes51]

… or Jim Keltner!!!

[@tomkillip9912]

love it but a tad slower tempo version-prefer quicker but who am I to tamper with greatness '-)

[@abelmontalvo4052]

​@@tomkillip9912 I think it sounds pretty good sounds grungy

[@dalehood1846]

Tomkillup, I agree. Great song, however, doesn't seem to have the same energy as original cut. ALL the best.

[@pbhoidale]

One of Neil Young's best songs EVER! Early days with Crazy Horse.

[@gerrykulpa7228]

AGREED,He's written many Great ones,THIS is one of His BEST and a personal FAVE

[@gayle9428]

This, I think, was the first song of Neil's I ever heard and always loved it and his music. I remember always having to dancing to it at age 12 - 14 when local bands would cover it. Fun times so long ago.

[@rhondaponce5207]

❤❤️‍🔥🤘🏽

[@DONNAWright-wg1rl]

Reminds me of the best man I'll ever know. Gone 16 months. and still missed every single second.

[@peterblack3665]

The song is a throw back to his days in Buffalo Springfield.......a melodic gem.

[@thomassmith8721]

Now, its just Stills, Nash & Young. Crosby passed away 1-19-23. RIP David Crosby. Long may you run in the afterlife.

[@JFF35753]

Well, unless Dave found Jesus before he died then he is not doing very well right now. Please, read the Bible and make Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life before it's too late!

[@mikemchugh3073]

The best part? David standing still in place with a big grin on his face yet still moving back and forth to the groove. History taking place right here towards the end of their Long Run.

[@bonnielondon2247]

An all time fav from Neil Young. Great seeing Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young performing all together ❣️🎶😇💖

This is an excellent version!

[@pirpirpir-os7ms]

jesus one of the last scenes of these dear brothers playing together that i know of 💗

[@bobphillips3222]

Some morons think it is all wrong if it doesn't sound like the original recording. Neil wrote it, he can play it any damn way he wants.

[@landonmccalmon7121]

A staggering level of self-limitation afflicts so many listeners. Any genre. Folks hear a homogenized studio version of one song and 30 years later they act as if the song and artist has been entombed in ice until the moment they heard something different. Once the new version is heard, they get angry and dismissive like they walked on their spouse and best friend in bed! Dark Star, Jerry!!! Dark Star........

[@tomthalon8956]

*News flash: Thousands of people paid him to come and hear what's on the album, not his warped rendition because he's bored on the road from doing it the same way each night. Neil's a cajillionaire. He has no idea about the "common" man. And notice Stills doesn't have 100 picks on his boom stand.

[@jamesglenn1531]

Works for me,Brother!

[@tomk4590]

Sounds pretty much the same to me. He's just got a different group of backup singers...

[@herbieshine1312]

If you want the record listen to the record. If you go to a gig or concert you have to accept it's live, he/ they will play it the way they want to and for me that's why you go to a gig.

[@bertbretherton]

Bliss. Flawless. Nash always wants the world to enjoy every note as much as he does. Oh, dear - David - nothing will ever be the same without you. Enjoy your peace. I am 81 and live in England.

[@togmor]

Agreed!

[@vesalius9949]

These artists are proof that musicians don't stop making art do they?! Even for what's set in a template! Newborn son 83 days living is hearing this with his pop :D

[@mathmusic1490]

This is wonderful! And thanks to Neil Young for writing this song, to Duck Dunn on bass and Jim Keltner, ever-present in rock and under-recognized on drums.

[@harryhyttoppe1190]

JK- The quintessential sideman /session rock drummer. Under recognised but never underappreciated.

[@j.d.applen583]

@@harryhyttoppe1190 I agree about Jim Keltner. We have heard him on so many songs by so many artists.

[@skellysuburban6134]

Just the best, moments in time that you don't forget.

[@petemyer6401]

I saw them on this tour at the Schott; best concert that I ever saw. Each person played songs from their previous bands. Crosby played 8 miles high; Stills, for what it’s worth; Nash- bus stop from the Hollies; Young, broken arrow from Buffalo Springfield, plus many of their CSNY hits- nearly 3 spectacular hours! I heard a young man in front of me who had been crabbing with his father about the concert, when they hit one of their famous harmonies. He blurted out “These guys can SING’

[@bobbailey5072]

Everybody in the world should love your comment here.

[@allanmacmillan7823]

My experience with CSN&Y is a bit of an oddity. I saw all four of them, but never together in only two shows...the Stills-Young Band at the world famous Fox Theater and Crosby & Nash at Atlanta's Symphony Hall. Never saw any of them as solo acts either. How did that happen? I have no explanation.

[@judygedmistergaines7578]

THANKS FOR SHARING THAT ABOUT THE CONCERT AT THE SCHOTT!!! Id have loved seeing that I'm here in 614 too ... got to see them so many years ago ... RIP DAVID CROSBY

[@gayle9428]

@Pete Myers - Holy cow. That would have been really a great show to see. I liked all those songs and the bands they were in.They have so many, together and by each. Saw CSN..., CN,...,Y...and...S. It was frustrating not getting to see all four together.

[@danielmesery2904]

I have been so lucky on live concerts, in my time ...So many ,I can't even believe it .. Sweet days indeed.

[@fumingriley]

Very deliberate, great crunching guitar, Neil lurching around the stage like always, I love it!

[@passdasalt]

Always loved this song. So damn raw.

[@terrylemonde7049]

david crosby has one of the hardest vocal parts as he sings in a different octave! one of his trademarks and hard to pull off! if you know anything about vocal arrangements some do, you know what Im talking about!

[@davearagon7571]

I concur. That ability also made him a crucial part of the Byrds sound, early on.

[@LuckyTown77]

Amazing...survived the 70's to sing on !

[@thetruthfornow6045]

Brilliant. Neil and Steve cranking the guitar and the vocal harmonies soar. Neil alone could get the energy with Crazy Horse. But those soaring harmonies take the song to another level.

[@gerryradford4812]

[@blueskies3658]

One of my favorite CSNY songs ever!

[@Hanzyscure]

It was a Crazy Horse song.

[@mikelisacarb]

One of the best bridges of all time (2:54) "I need another chance! You see, your baby loves to dance!" Just pulls you on into the instrumental .... and ultimately right back into the inevitable return of that great, powerful lick!

[@flacindyo1]

Seeing CSNY in 2000! Maybe the best concert I ever went to!

[@cinnamongirl7877]

Ahhhhhhh very lucky. I never got the chance and sadly, at this point I do not see them reuniting....for anything....not even a conversation. So sad
