Graham Nash "Immigration Man"

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

Both Nash and the guitar player killed it. Such a great song by Graham. This is an awesome live performance.

[@CarlosAlberto-ii1li]

Graham's voice is still distinctive of his Hollies days, always had much respect for him as a 'man' and not just his music.

[@David-j8m4l]

Best years of my life David V the 1979 .1980 were the best music ever

[@johnthompson3802]

Same goose bumps I got when I first heard this. This man has given me so much joy!

[@bbcala9719]

That is such a great song. When a couple of guys could harmonize and sound phenomenal.

[@al14able]

Fabulous!

[@jonhumble7199]

Wow, Graham Nash has lost nothing of his incredible voice after 60 years in the music business. What a pro- he is still totally invested in it 100%.

[@wlouisharris]

Yah, no doubt. I caught CSN back in 2006. Such great performers.

[@paulisaac78]

Absolutely!

[@Revolution1117]

Indeed...truly amazing! For what ever reason(s) Graham's voice has held up WAY better than the other 3. I was fortunate enough to see CSN&Y in Tempe Az during their '74 reunion tour. They did the concert just like the album "4-Way Street"; playing as a band and then each soloing their own stuff. Ah...to be 19 again...

[@joe-vz6hx]

It's so heartwarming to see a rock star of "elder years" still in peak form (sadly, more than can be said for many). In the words of David Essex: "Hey, did you rock 'n' roll? Rock on..." (PS and oh btw: the guy on elec guitar is outstanding)

My brother gave Me Deja Vu in 1969. I have NEVER STOPPED LOVING Graham & David..... Rest in Peace David such a Beautiful kind soul. Miss your Smile And Graham your Voice & Smile will Always have a special place in my heart. I have sang backup harmonies with you behind the scenes for 55 years now & Will continue. Thank You for speaking out on so many issues pertinent in the 60s-70s STILL Pertinent today Bless You

[@mrshine615]

Catch his current tour. It's awesome!

[@dennisfuson6583]

Graham has such a distinctive voice. This is a man from God for all of us to see. Humble yourself and be glorified. Just an ordinary man singing from his heart ❤️. Well done! 💯👍

[@dennisfuson6583]

I'm a musician playing guitar for many years. I hear music differently. I listen to the background voices as in harmony. The Beatles were very good at this.

[@victoranchondo924]

Bought this song before I went to bootcamp in the Navy, 1972.

[@davekrivanek]

Attended his concert this summer. Had a great time.

[@kevingrady8736]

I saw him with David Crosby in Vancouver B.C. and he said he wrote this song a day or two before and it was his first time singing it live.

[@dogfase515]

Learned this song when i was 15 i was in mexico for my 30th bday the bar had a guitar and mic for anyone who wanted to play ,i hot up and did this and we got too many free drinks

[@bradleyhovious8931]

Great album

[@georgecramer5276]

I remember this song from like 1972 or early 73 playing on the radio in the kitchen. Everybody had a radio in the kitchen back in the 60s and 70s. The baby boomer generation

[@PuffKitty]

Many of us sat there doing our homework listening to said kitchen radio 🙂

[@jimrebr]

Yes, our house always had a radio in the kitchen and stereo in the living room, a very good stereo my mom bought with a full collection of the Classics (Mozart, Tchaikovsky, etc), music was something we all loved and still do. My 5 siblings and I are always quoting songs & I always sing. Got a new fiddle, time to start practicing again.

[@burchkinsolving489]

Good god, that was great!

[@carlweaver3243]

I like this version. Very simple.

[@David-j8m4l]

My name is David V these were the best years of my life 1979 1980 great music

[@brucemaceachern299]

I thing it's underappreciated, that those early British bands, had such great, under-appreciated, rhythm guitar players: John Lennon, Keith Richards, Graham Nash....

[@thomasmazur6916]

Love this song and album

[@Lowden025]

And to those who don t know, I think the guitarist is Shane Fontayne that was the guitar player for Lone Justice years ago.

[@frederickacerra7766]

From his first solo record a great record that has stood the test of time .And for that matter so has Graham

[@broeheemed32]

For clarification: This tune is from the Nash/Crosby album recorded in 1972. Their touring guitarist was Don Felder, who left the tour to join the Eagles. This era was overflowing with musical talent..... something we'll sadly never see again.

[@heatherc2939]

No better socio-political commentary protest music than this.

[@keithfitzgerald3536]

Great Graham. He played at the spring festival in 1980 - my first year at American University in Washington D.C. I was an anti-nuclear power activist and I'm pretty sure I was tripping that beautiful afternoon. Idyllic. He sounds good here, nearly 40 years down the road, and that electric guitarist is fine fine fine.

[@colorcombinations7387]

What a moment that must have been. Thank you for sharing!

[@desertsky]

Graham managed to avoid some of the excesses that his colleagues fell victim to. He does enjoy some good bud though. We shared a joint together several times.

[@erichinds7900]

This is what the United States government has to listen to especially the republications

[@88pynogrl]

I think I might have misinterpreted your comment at first- I thought you were blaming the govt. and the Republicans. Nash wrote this song because he was pissed off that he was detained at the Canadian border trying to get back into the US. He had an H-1Visa, and not American. It was as simple as filling out some forms, and some inconvenience- then he was good to go. Still rich, still famous- but this song is now some sort of anthem.

[@joeybenoit6269]

This song was about Graham Nash coming through the Canadian border not the Southwest order get it straight kids!

[@trailwindz7833]

Location of performance?

[@promiskept]

Migration is an event where beings cross boundaries that they aren't expected to stay in. Birds migrate every year, workers migrate within seasonal expectations. Immigration is a lawful process towards a recognizable new citizenry: forsaking the older one to become a true member of the new.
