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.

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@johnthompson3802]

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

[@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)

[@CityLadyLA]

This song would often come into my mind whenever I crossed back after visiting Tijuana 😊

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

[@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...

[@MrSpankee02]

Look at all those folks walking by the side of the stage paying no mind, while a legend plays an epic song.

[@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.

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.

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.

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

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.

[@McMillanScottish]

We need a new version that says, "Get them out, Mr. Immigration Man."

[@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.

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.

[@nulldude782]

I always thought this was a great song, an ode to the weary immigrant seeking refuge... then I read the real story of the entitled hungover rock star held up at the border having to fill out forms. Ever since then, the self-centered nature of Nash's songs have really been apparent. He is nothing but an egotistical, rich, entitled cry baby. Sadly. I used to love his music as the anthem of my generation until the reality came through. Oh well, there is still Neil and Croz.
