Hey all! Just wanted to add that making this video was somewhat of a revelation. The adjective that kept coming to mind about David Crosby was "survivor".

The very first concert I ever attended was The Byrds playing at Stony Brook University in Long Island, NY where I lived. I was newly into playing guitar, was infatuated by all things Byrds, and doing serious woodshedding learning their songs by repeatedly moving the needle back to licks I was learning by ear from their records. They were touring in support of the Fifth Dimension album and I was mesmerized by Eight Miles High and Mr. Spaceman at that show. The opener was The Youngbloods and they knocked me out. Anyway, it was the first time I saw a live band and was my introduction to David Crosby. RIP.

Wow! I knew Stephen Stills eventually owned it but I didn't know Peter Tork had given it to him. So cool. A few years ago I was waiting in a hotel lobby and I actually saw Peter waiting there too, for about 15 minutes. I didn't want to bother him so I didn't approach him. Now I really wish I had.

I watched your video with waves of emotion and longing for the 60's. Such a wonderfully groovy time to be alive and in LA. And of course, can't forget; "Where did my life go?" Much of the beginnings of what occurred in the 60's there started 58 years ago! Sure enjoyed driving around in the sunshine with you. As a Canadian, you guys in the States had a very real impact on the music that shaped our lives way back then. Thanks for the memories! / SS - way up here in rainy Vancouver BC. (Be sure to hide the roaches)!

Tim, so wonderful as always in the things you show us...! You explore everthing I would be interested in and then some...! I would have to move to LA and do research for a year or two to go and find the places you show me in 7 minutes of great video...! Thank you for your great work.....! You keep these great stories alive for the next generation. I can tell you for sure my 24 to 30 something year old kids know this music. They have seen these great artists over the years when I dragged them to Neil Youngs Bridge School Benefit for years on end.... They get it....! God I miss the Bridge School Benefits so much... I was at the last one with my wife not knowing it was the last one.... CSN would often show up... Along with so many others.... My next trip down south to LA will include what you have showed me in your many great videos. Well done once again Sir...!

You were fortunate to have been able to go to the Bridge School gigs indeed! Its funny, although my 30 somethings and I love Nirvana and Blondie, I was never able to get them into Neil or any of the Laurel Canyon stuff----Except for Carole King.

Tim Thanks for making these videos. As all of us "older" people who lived/partied during the 60's sadly pass away. The stories need to be told and with you tube they will live on long after we are gone. The CSN song that I like the best is Teach Your Children Well. The version I like is here on youtube. It's just them sitting on some chairs playing it acoustic.
@RockessentialTim Жыл бұрын
They'll be playing that song a hundred years from now. One of my favorite parts about that tune is Jerry Garcia plays the pedal steel guitar on it.

Glad you touched on the Miami (Coconut Grove) connection, where David met Joni and his long time friend (and friend of mine), singer/songwriter Bob Ingram.

I'm not super informed but I know Bob was a mainstay musician in Miami. I remember his named mentioned several times when researching Crosby for the vid.

Hot damn, so glad to see this. I hiked around Enatai and Beaux Arts in Bellevue, Washington (east side of Lake Washington across from Seattle) this afternoon with my daughter and our dogs and was thinking it had been a while since one of your videos had popped up. Parts of Bellevue always make me think of Laurel Canyon (without the palm trees, of course.) And, as always, our rain is going to start in a few weeks for a few (okay, several) months and that feeling will be gone... I've truly enjoyed your videos the past couple years and I thank you a ton! PS: Laurel Canyon was a crucible for American music. The recent output of Croz has been amazing. Neil, too. It's hard (but fun) to keep up. I wish Steven would keep pace!

Wow, you live in a beautiful part of the city! Funny but I've never seen any of the CSN&Y guys out and about except for Stills. I was at the park here a couple years ago and he was with a toddler. I didn't know if it was his son or grandson but I'm sure he caught me staring. I love his playing and in doing this vid I found out that he played all the instruments except for drums on all the tracks for that first CN&N album. Loved him in that movie "Echo's In The Canyon".

I wonder why you didn't mention Dallas Taylor on the back cover on the CSN&Y album cover? Dallas (drummer) was looking out the window! Dallas was dating one of the girls (Gypsy) that was living with us at 8328 Kirkwood, Laurel Canyon. That little country cabin was demolished early 70s. I wish I had pictures of that sceen from back in the day. 67-68

That is awesome. There are very few original country cabins left, the real estate is just too valuable I guess. BTW: I did include the Dallas Taylor back cover pic...
