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.

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

Great film, please do the follow up. Complicated man is Neil Young. I saw him at Hammersmith, it was epic, he played an hour of solo acoustic, then two hours of electric with the band, an incredible night.

That first album was a classic - and still one of my favorites after all these years.

Odd I always thought that "tonight's the night" is one of his best efforts. I really like Neil Young's music and have many of his recordings "Tonight's the night" is probably my favorite.

Neil is amazing CSN amazing all 4 was magic. saw them all together and separate over 40 years, Good documentary its hard to capture the vibe in the early seventies, the timing of there music and social issues couldn't have been more perfect. stills young was great

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!

"He tried to do his best, but he could not" is a line of Neil's oft' quoted around our household. ;-)

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.

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.

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.

Love the music all of these extremely talented musicians made. Its unfortunate that they couldn't hold it together. They all made some of my favorite music.

Look for the vid where they jam with Tom Jones, Tom is absolutely astounding. Even Neil cracks a big smile during the performance.

My college girlfriend and I were walking on that beach when they were taking photos of Neil facing the water. My girlfriend walked up to him and asked if he lost something. I was shocked at her balls. I had been around Neil before, but this was pretty weird as nothing moved for hours.

I was fortunate enough to see Neil Young and Crazy Horse in the late 70’s. First half of the show was Neil playing acoustic, Crazy Horse with Neil playing electric guitar the second half. Huge blow up amps, cone heads, hooded monks with red eyes…it was a great show.

Fascinating. And so not like I always imagined the lives of rock stars to be like. IMHO, the spectrum between Stills control and calculation and Young's spontaneity is exactly the realm in which magic is created. One without the other can be quite excellent. But not magic.

In the liner notes for Neil's "Decade" compilation album many, many years ago, he wrote that the LP Harvest "put him in the middle of the road. I soon headed for the ditch. The ride was rough but I met more interesting people there."

@jaykay6387

Ай бұрын

I'm familiar with that quote, as I have "Decade" and have read the liner notes. Based upon things I've read about Neil, it's not surprising that that quote is somewhat contradictory. When he was with Springfield, he seemed to be distraught that they didn't achieve commercial success, but when he does with Harvest, he seems "dismissive" of it. I guess it's just typical of young people and "artists", especially. Most of them are egomaniacs, which is why it's so rare they can get along with bandmates.

Wow! Excellent documentary. A toxix relationship. They needed relationship counseling before it became popular. Their music may have flourished if they had.

i was there.

By the time we got to Woodstock, we were half a MILLION strong, not billion.

Always thought that Neil saved his best tunes for his solo work. For instance, After the Goldrush released 5 months after Deja vu.

George Harrison probably didn’t sign CSN because Graham Nash was in the Hollies and George hated the Hollies version of “If I Needed Someone,” which George wrote.

What! George Harrison didn't care for Neil Young's music? I find it very hard to believe I know I read somewhere John Lennon didn't care for Neil Young's music and that I do believe well whether or not George Harrison cared for Neil Young's music or not George Harrison is still my favorite Beatle I love Crosby stills Nash & Young and I like the solo careers been listening to them since I was a small child now my children listen to them especially Neil Young this is 2024 and there's so much more.
