This is legitimately one of the best Covers I’ve ever heard. Every aspect of this is perfect. Everything is heavy, but still Soulful and Melodic… The drums, the vocals, the lead, the bass… These guys just play so damn well together. The way the vocals and the lead are supported by the Bass-player keeping the perfect pulse, while the Drummer is keeping the perfect groove-while also playing tasteful, satisfying fills… What else can I say - These guys are just really fuckin good.

Really sick colour too. Anybody know what it’s called?

Only the best musicians can sing and sound like they're an old blues guy but actually turn out to be like 20. That's good shit.

The best cover of this song hands down...

This is awesome for sure...great vocals and playing. But my vote for the complete best KZread cover of this song is: kzread.info/dash/bejne/gKaKlK2fodmZZs4.html

WOW!!!!! So I wanted to hear Almost Cut My Hair and seen this cover and thought, "Well I will listen this F-IN guy chop the song all to hell". And DAMN was I surprised! This cover literally Blew Me Away!!!!!!! Never heard on Davey before but he just gained himself +1 fan! WOW, just WOW!!!!!!!!!!!

That guitar playing was absolutely phenomenal

You knocked my socks off. As an old dude, that flew a freak flag, I know you get it. Sorta like Stevie Ray met Stills there. I dig it. Great playing and singing. You have the curse. You will look outside the box for answers in music and life. Play on Youngblood!

Yeah, great call: Stills meets SRV. I'm ancient too, so Stills was one of my guitar heroes back in the day. Few people these days realize the esteem he was once held in as a guitar player. In those old Playboy music polls he used to be ranked right up there with Clapton in the blues and rock categories, and higher in acoustic. Its not that us oldies don't still hold him in high esteem, but rather that he's faded from view among younger guys.

It's kinda weird to see Davy playing a strat. He should more often! Although the Tele he is currently playing in 2018 sounds mighty too. But wow, what a performance here! Incredible!

This was back in the days when he was still playing with his mates from the Isle of man before the corporate suits decided that he needed a pro-band. They were really good too

Diss rocks my world . And makes me want to keep living in this o crap world. Thank you sir.

Absolutely love these young people digging into the blues sound - blues will never die.

just heard these youngsters . sweet david neil jam. cant find anything newer than this.

12 years later, and still incredible. Keep going Davy !

His playing just gives me goosebumps, thats amazing

I saw them open for Chickenfoot in NYC 2010. Davy Knowles sounds like a blend of Stevie Winwood, Paul Rogers and Billy Gibbons. They kicked some ass that that night, for sure !

Un-like most young people today.. These guys really hit the " MARK " in a class- less music industry that mostly, rewards talent- less so called, stars... Thanks to to guys like this..( BLUES MUSIC ) , still. has a pulse!!!!! BLUES-POWER !!!!!

Jaw-dropping cover!! ... This guy is a really good bluesman... with all the letters!!

Davy messaged me on Facebook years ago around the time his first album came out he gave me some great advice. Was 15 when I discovered him in guitar world. And he became my guitar Idol..my playing always has a little hint of Davy Knowles in it. One of the few guys with their own truly unique sound.

he sure does make that Strat sound good.

So much energy in his playing, powerful stuff.

I couldn't agree more. The very best cover I have heard ever!!!!! Amazing......thank you for a beautiful homage to David Crosby R.I.P. 🎸❤

This format was the best ever such a shame they didn't stick together

I quite like his current lineup though. The drummer and keyboard player he has now compliment his style and sound perfectly in my opinion.

Love him!! He's wearing a Led Zeppelin shirt!! That's my man!

The band name is taken from the lyrics to a 'Zep song - "Since I've been loving you" I think...

this guy nailed it. between his guitar and voice he nailed.

one of the best live performances ever

If I had a Tardis I would definitely go to this show!

I was lucky enough to see them in a small club "The Yale" in Vancouver, B.C.,Canada, a few years back , an amazing guitarist

Sometimes I love algorithms; searching for David Crosby you come across Back Door Slam. Never heard of them, but, man, what a guitar player!

That is just bloody brilliant! Completely under appreciated! Davey is an elite guitarist and his voice is fabulous as well!

Top notch. I watched this multiple times - and that doesn't happen often. Well done!

Why isn't he a super star??? Great voice and GREAT guitar ability. What's up with the record industry?

Absolutely great performance. Amazing voice and guitar. This guy is going to be a legend Mark my words. Hopefully he does not let fame ruin him like so many do.

Nice cover. I felt it. God bless you.

Love this guy... Listen to this all night!

Dam!!!!!! really enjoy this great job .. keep on keeping on.,ROCKIN

Love Davy. Lovely person inside and out and so talented.

just got turned on to these guys and I must say WOW loving it.

This guy really rips!!! And sings well...

Fantastic version! Stumbled upon this a few weeks ago and have been watching it 20+ times since then. Davy Knowles - you've got yourself a new fan! Inspiring guitar work!

True Expression... Moxy something that is sadly missing today...

Unbelievable tone. You just kill it! AWSOMEEEE!

Happened to hear them doing outside woman blues...made a trip into the city to see them at the Hammerstein, and they just blew the roof off the place....his playing is effortless, and his voice is just as good

I saw these guys in 2019 in Morristown, N.J. (I'm lucky to live 10 minutes away!) and Davy and his buddies blew my mind. This was their encore and I was so thrilled....one of my favorites. Great video!

A younger Davy Knowles tearing it up on guitar!

This band is AMAZING!!!!

Great Cover of one of the best Pop-Rock songs ever written by Crosby, Stills and Nash. Great performance! :-)

Great chops and soul, he definately loved SRV!

You owned this song with your axe and vocals...you were the vessel...you didnt block the flow...just....WOW!!!!!

man that tone is KILLER

One of the greatest bands in history and Knowles is the real deal, guitar and vocals.

Great job! Thank you for posting and for a great job on a classic...

Huhhh.. Enjoyed every tone.. Played with dignity and respect to the old school.. Bravo!!!

Wooowww!! You boys sure do Rock this old anthem in style!

Wow !! That was brilliant !!!

Nice cover guys! One of my favorites!

Just listened to CSNandY as a tribute to Crosby and happened to come across this. Incredible!

It was about 2009 or so (they were all teenagers then) that I first saw Back Door Slam. Quickly became one of my favorites. This guy can play & sing with the best of them.

I've watched a-lot of his covers of this song and this one is w/o question the best IOM.......that energy!!!!!!

My favorite song of CSNY

First time I ever saw him was this show and it was this song on KZread from an earlier show that caused me to go see him. Thanks for posting.

Great Job!!!!! Thank you!

RIP DC. Davey, you rock this song

Really good cover of a really good song!

Love your emotion dude. Awesome cover

Favorite song of CSNY!!

Awesome, seen him so many times wish it was still these original members

Davey gives a reason for a strat to exist. Fender did not realise what their strat could do until this man picked one up. Davey a product of pure Isle of Man .

This inspires me. Great great cover!

So happy to see a guy this age that gets it 100%

Amazing. Thanks for posting.

I love this song I play the rhythm by heart

These guys are the REAL DEAL. Great music.

Great moment ! Thank you.

what a great way to start the day - thanks!

I had the privilege of seeing these guys open for chickenfoot, and this cover blew me away. Davy knowles can solo his ass off!

Fantastic power, what a tremendous version of this classic

Davy, you rock. Incredible version!

Killer voice i was not expecting that

Excellent great version of a great song 🎵🎸🎸🎸🎸

Blues with a CSN twist. And these young dudes nailed it!

Fantastic! Ty for the remake of one of my favorite song:)

Loved this band best format never been matched

Wow, really stuck to the original song, no extra crap of today's music added , fabulous!!!!

deep deep music and a long gone personal true story behind. Great artists.

Powerful voice reminds me of Paul Rodgers two thumbs up

His voice. He feels it.

Legend in the making. Stay tuned . . . .

This is a fantastic cover. Your spot on with vocals and guitar.

Great cover and awsome performance!

THIS F"INN ROCKS ..STELLAR GUITAR WORK!!!!

Oh my God wonderful voice awesome guitar player I love what they did to the song it's now Blues
