Walking home from 3rd grade after school I found the Neil Young Harvest album in someones curb trash pickup . Went home an told my mom what I found . Mom was completely blind but told me to put it on the console stereo turntable . The record was badly scratched but we didnt care , we played it over an over . Christmas that year santa left me that album under the tree , thanks santa lol . That was 50 yrs. ago . Great memory , thanks mom . RIP

Well, 7 days since your posting,I feel fortunate to have this show up on my YT feed. I really appreciate your presentation of this music history. Whenever you have a group of people working together,people are going to bang heads. Friends,family,the job,etc. At best it will eventually disintegrate to a status quo, so as to maintain some level of function,as necessary. Water seeks it own level. Just human nature,as I see it. Talented,unique individuals,in unique situations,at a moment in time. The ebb and flow,and the beauty created,if but for a moment... Think of The Beatles,The Kinks,Cream,CSNY,Grand Funk Railroad,Greg Allman/Dickey Betts,... How many times did Janis Joplin,Jimi Hendrix,Bob Dylan,Joni Mitchell,Miles Davis, and Neil Young,switch gears,and follow their vision? Why continue with a situation,that is untenable? Or boring? The list goes on,and on,and on,does it not? We all "gotta do,what we gotta do". They all touched our lives,forever...? I'm a big Neil Young fan,and enjoy playing many of his acoustic tunes. Although I don't/can't play a single tune,from either of these albums- On The Beach,and Tonight's the Night. They are by far, my favorite Neil Young albums. Spontaneity,and undeniable heartfelt energy,at it's best. The Real Deal Cheers!

That's sad- but hysterical (!) Maybe both are true, I read he decided he wasn't into it and suggested York. But he wasn't destined to be a Monkee. Jimi Hendrix was brought on tour to open for them! Can you imagine? Those teeny boopers were unprepared for that!

[@monkmchorning]

Somebody else suggested this, but I think it's worth repeating. In his heart Neil is a soloist first, who uses bands when they suit his purposes. Stephen is a collaborator with extraordinary technical chops. He seems to relish working with others and doing whatever is needed, whether it's taking charge or filling gaps.

[@stevecowder4774]

Considering all the turmoil going on between band members, it’s pretty amazing CSNY were able to launch two quality albums, and only one of them a studio release. No wonder Deja Vu became such a legendary piece. I think it’s impressive when a group can set aside their differences to put out timeless, memorable music.

[@rtflone]

Neil Young isn't known to be a team player and Crosby Stills and Nash aren't a backup band.

[@kvernon1]

"Impressive" to "set aside their differences"? Isn't that something every group has to do to be successful? And every marriage partner? Every set of friends? That's the norm. Doing what you are supposed to do anyway is not my definition of impressive. And wow, they released two entire albums? And one of them studio? Not my idea of "pretty amazing".

[@coochiecoo68]

I concur, and they set the genre and got out there and did it with no handbook, no support, with no real idea of consequences or much technical expertise, at a time when there was zilch in terms of recovery from narcotic addiction and alcoholism and at a dnagerous time of social unrest, when the drugs were 100% pure, the judgement around the perosnal clashes of the band members are neither here nor there, plenty of other bands and musicians were like it around the same time, and punk made a point of it later on in the 70s.

[@mrswimmyboy]

@@kvernon1 I read a quote from Graham Nash calling CSN [and maybe CSNY] failures. Because they couldn't get along well enough to make more than a few good recordings. I don't remember if he attributed this to ego and substance abuse :^) He seems to have been a very patient person.

[@careyrowland]

Neil certainly added something special to CSNY. I have a vivid, lifelong memory of a particular Neil song that was included in the sound track of the movie, "The Strawberry Statement", which was about the student protests at Columbia University. I think it was back in '71. Somewhere In the movie, after some scenes of action and conflict, the visual goes to a night scene of the sky, with Neil's voice lamenting: "Big birds flying across the sky, throwing shadows on our eyes, leave us helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless." Neil certainly was not helpless, but he surely helped us, at that cinematic moment, to express our frustration in trying to end the war in Vietnam.

[@JayAr709]

“We are not helpless we are men.”-Stephen Stills

For the CSN cover, they should have flipped the negative. Or done it optically.

[@brianschroth7078]

Correction..Neil Young was not "cut out" of Woodstock. He specifically told the producers of Woodstock..you can film CSN but not Y..do not film my image..your making a lot of money off this Woodstock thing..and your not paying any of the bands you film. So leave me out.

[@theitineranthistorian2024]

you left out "wind on the water", a masterpiece I saw performed. " tonight's the night" was a junkie's lament, we loved it. "long may you run" was stills solo performed (with flo and eddie) doing harmonies simultaneously crosby nash doing " wind on the water" with the help of many artists up the road in anaheim. crosby claimed lebanese (hash) for his inability to sing. I saw both concerts. neil did briefly appear with stephen doing songs but that was long ago.

[@jimmoss9584]

I want to understand how George Harrison, in 1968 when he was obsessed with the Band and tripping off to Woodstock to hang out and record with Dylan, could have somehow thought CSN weren't worth signing. He probably thought they weren't Hare Krishna enough or something. He really comes off as a hugely pessimistic and judgemental sour puss.

[@bingohhhhhhhhhhhh]

Jesus can someone have an opinion without being judged personally? Who cares.

[@christopher9152]

I get your point. But Harrison was a sensitive sort, and Crosby came off to most who knew him as an insufferable, egotistical douche. Maybe it came down to personalities clashing, rather than the music?

[@bingohhhhhhhhhhhh]

@@christopher9152Yeah I'm in a creative field and the ego battles are rampant, especially now where it's almost validated whereas before it was seen as somewhat embarassing. Not to give credence, but it kinda goes with the territory, especially at a very high level - but really no one is necessarily "right" and most times everyone ends up looking like a douche. We're just at a point now where looking back you can pretty much decide who's side you're on and the "facts" can be skewed however you want them to be. Look at all the idiots that either bash or praise Lennon or McCartney trying to make it look like a contest of who's better, as if they somehow knew them. It's petty af. Harrison was just giving an opinion - and to me, of course he was wrong as far as not signing them. But look up Decca Records, guess who they DIDN'T sign? Here's a clue - they instead signed Brian Poole and The Tremeloes - remember them? 😂

Only the song was not about Kent State. It was about the Sunset Strip curfew riots in Los Angeles in November 1966

[@careyrowland]

Yes, I understand that. But I believe Stephen Stills himself will attest that the message in his song about protest had become an anthem for our generation, especially after their "Ohio" song. "Four dead in Ohio"@@JJS1953JJS

[@marcusnolte7476]

To me, Nash was the glorified harmony singer. His solo work is mediocre whereas Crosby's has a unique charm to it. Young was always misplaced in this setup (like him or not as a solo artist), and as you said, Stills was the creative motor (listen to Manassas and his first 5 solo albums for proof). Unfortunately (to quote Rick James "Cocaine is a hell of a drug") the drugs got the better of him for a period of time. The 1974 London show is hard to watch, seeing all of them being high on different substances (especially Stills).

About the "backwards seating order" in the photograph for their first album cover, why couldn't they take the negative (or even the positive) and reverse that? Was that too much technology for the late 60s? Too much money? Hell, hire an artist and have it painted in reverse! I guess they probably didn't realize the seating order was going to be a problem until AFTER it had become a problem. I think I was told it was the correct order, and so for many years I thought Crosby was Nash and vice-versa. Crosby always looked like a person named "Graham" to me, with his Cowardly Lion looks. Agree? (If not, "Put up your dukes! I'll fight ya!")

[@anthonyc1883]

Because flipping the image would then make it look like Stills was a left-handed guitar player. No way would he or the others allow that.

Interesting video, I enjoyed it enormously but you'd have to say every single one of them (with the possible exception of Nash) is a tiresome, egotistical, irritating, self-absorbed pain in the arse and if I was in a band with them I'd have thrown every one of them through the drum kit on more than one occasion!

Neil Young is obviously the most talented and professional of all of them, as evidenced by his incredible career. Crosby was and still is a wanker.

Neil young is an enormous talent and always was. But as a group “leader” he never came anywhere near the first MANASSES double album.

​@@JayAr709 Manassas was a Steven Stills project.

Almost Cut My Hair - OMG, worst song ever?

Harrison, what a tw@t. “I don’t like CSN and what’s more Neil Young is rubbish”. How he plays great stuff with such blinkered views is remarkable. Opposite ends of the stage at the Dylan tribute in the 90s - what a surprise.

You too. This channel is SO good. If you love music and learning about the people behind the classic - you're in the right place. To use 60s slang it's Groovy! David

This group has been a nonstop hot mess since day 1

Art is fascinating. Appealing to one and torture to another, all from a single work. Thus comparison is pointless, it’s all subjective.

well stated

It was ever thus.
