Thanks Jeff. For some reason KZread made it impossible for me to post that here!

If you post too many the youtube bots think youre a bot. I haven't been able to post a link to anything for years.

Jeff, yes and WOW. I'm just a little old guitarist and this version inspired me to try this song again on my own. It's so much fun! It brings back memories, takes strength, concentration and brings everything that music can; joy! I can understand you very well!

Jeff, you didn't need to say a word...the expression on your face says it all. I don't know if any group covers CSN as well as F&F does. They simply KILLED this.

Darwin is an incredible guitar player, but so is his bandmate Toby Ruckert.

I saw The Mamas and Papas live twice about 1965 and again in 1970. They were terrific BUT they never sounded this good. Chase hits the Mama Cass stuff better than she ever did it. You have to be brave and very good to try the CSNY stuff, let alone nail it. How fun is this.

Stephen Barncard record producer and assistant sound engineer for the CSNY Deja Vu album was the notable heaping praise in the comment section for this one.

4 way street unforgettable live concert . Carry on was an outstanding chorus from CSN&Y. WELL done the Foxes.

I’m 72 and CSN&Ywas one of my favorite groups. This cover by this group was amazing! It almost took me back to when I was in school sitting on the floor in my bedroom with speakers hung on the wall listening to this. Thank you so much again for posting these classics performed by these very talented people!

David is smiling! 😊

Yeeeeeees, life gets better with every listen of this, and welcome to the F&F rabbit hole, surely no escape now.

Knew you were going to really dig this one! They generally do a nice job of putting their own touches on songs but in this case they nailed the CSNY version!! Loved it!!

My favorite CSNY tune and these folks nailed it!!

Thanks for this one! Knew when you started reacting to F & F that when you got to this one, it'd blow you away.

This is awesome

spot on

Why are my eyes watering?

Wow!!! Words fail me. Phenomenal indeed!

i have said this before, the pickers in this group are just awesome. needless to say, the vocals are just so sweet. re: woodstock, and how the times they are a changin'. i weep every day for our world and the current state of global and domestic affairs. that said, i find solace in communities like this channel produce for like minded people to seek refuge from the day to day issues. ☮❤🙏

I loved that!!

These guys are so accurate, so clean. Just stunning. This takes WORK, and they put in the work, to make this happen, i am sure. I find it interesting they all are singing into one microphone, while Leonid and Friends use multiple mics on their vocals.

They are recording individual vocal tracks, some done at other locations at times, then singing around the mike while listening to the mixed audio when they can get all the singers in the studio. Saves a lot of video editing , you can show the singers without having to put them all in separate little boxes.

I don't know... they may do that, bit they're clearly doing live vocals, and those vocals are being used. You can see it -- watch their mouths and listen.

@@jackarmstrong1838 They all record at different times when ever their schedule permits. Maggie usually sends her vocals from Nashville. When she comes to Atlanta they try to get all of the singers to come in and do the singing around one mic videos for a couple songs, or at least some of them together, otherwise she uses video from home as well. When Scott and now Ross plays bass that is sent from Virginia.

If THIS doesn't give you hope for the future of music, (by looking to the past), NOTHING will. BRAVO ALL!

I’m gonna have to start sending you some coin, you are so knowledgeable and entertaining. It’s just that I’m an old geezer and have to figure it out without China getting into my bank account. Again, thank you.

Speaking of the vocals. Notice that the vocals are recorded using only one microphone. That means that the vocal mix is live. (That's why Tim leans towards the mic to highlight his voice in places. Recording with only one mic means that the individual vocal levels cannot be changed in post-production. That awesome blend is the wat it really sounded! Astonishing!

The vocal tracks are recorded individually like everything else. Maggie usually sends hers tracks from Nashville. When she comes to Atlanta , they try to get all the singers in studio and they video them singing around one mic for a couple songs while listening to the mixed recording. This saves Tim a lot of video editing and he can show all the singers instead of having each in a little box. Tim described how they do it in the comments the first time they did one that way (Dedicated) and other times since. Also multiple "making of" videos on patreon.

Just imagine hearing it for the first time, in '70.

Foxes and Fossils are amazing, and this may be the masterpiece. Check out F&F''s "Helpless" to complete the CSNY trifecta.

The one thing that disappoints me about F&F is their recent use of mono vocals. I would have use two mics and a different lineup, while keeping the group lined up. But maybe that's just me; after all, its been a few decades since I was a studio engineer.

@lynwessel2471

What mono vocals? Everyone is recorded on separate tracks and mixed like any other modern studio recording. The everyone singing around the mic for the video is to eliminate a lot of video editing,and you can show everyone and not have to put all of them in little boxes. As Tim just said in an interview today," It's no secret how we do it." One of the sound engineers for CSNYs Deja Vu album raved about this recording in the comments section.

In a technical sort of way, F&F is better than CCNY (and many other all male groups like the Beach Boys...) Sopranos and altos singing high vocals sound better to me than falsettos!

Tim says that's key, everyone pretty much stays in their vocal comfort zone. He's been in 12 bands over his 50+ year music career, mostly musicians who also sing ok. Nothing like this group which was built from the vocals up.

I know people on KZread get upset when you say something negative, but this is not my favorite effort from them and I do like them and have listened for a good while. Not all the voices were in lip sync because of all the editing and about half way in the drummer started lagging and it just didn't sound as good overall at that point. I honestly stopped listening at that point. This is just my opinion. Love the OG recording from CSNY.

Are your sync issue comments re this reaction video or re the F&F video? I often see sync and sound quality issues with YT music reaction videos, and do see some here, presumably due to something that happens in the re-routing/re-playing of the orig vid to the reactor, back through their hardware and software and back to YT. I don't see the issues in the orig/F&F video. Also, even the audio from YT orig vids is sometimes noticeably altered vs artists released audio recording on music distributors, or in this case their CDs & AIF digital downloads from their website. This was first starkly apparent to me on their "Royals" song, where with headphones up high, the synthesized percussion in the YT vid is painfully loud/sharp, but not so in their download.
