Left to right Neil Young ,Stephen Stills,Greg Reeves, Graham Nash, David Crosby, Dallas Taylor. Stills and Young were in Buffalo Springfield.You reacted to them earlier.

You are listening to one of the super groups of the 60's and 70's. This whole album is brilliant. I wore my album out back in the day and was lucky enough to see them live. May I make a suggestion. If you are listening to Rock music which this is please use both sides of your headphones. You are missing a lot of the music. Cheers 🇨🇦

Wooden Ships is very thoughtful and moving.

I am a 70 year old lady that lived through the late 60s and 70s of rock and roll coming of age. I listened to a lot of the people that were popular in the 60s that my older brothers played but to hear the change and the progress that they made in music and recording music was amazing. Crosby stills Nash and young were basically folk singers in the beginning there's a great book out if you want to read it about Laurel Canyon in California. People were there with them at that time were Jimi Hendrix, Is Jonie Mitchell, Is the Levin spoonful, Jim Morrison of the doors, On and on.........

73 … this is what we’ve been listening to for 5+ years

This album came out when I was a young girl….love watching you react young man! 😻🎶

Love your reaction - it's obvious you love music! OK, popular music professor here, so: David CROSBY (The Byrds); Stephen STILLS (THE BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD); Graham NASH (The Hollies) all very successful and influential groups from 1965- 1967. The three of them got together and formed Crosby, Stills & Nash for their first album released May 1969 - the one with them sitting on the beat up old couch. Stills played virtually EVERY instrument on the album, wrote and produced so they knew when they were going on tour, they would have to add people to perform live: Neil YOUNG from The Springfield. Then Reeves and Taylor. Taylor had played some drums on the first album. The couch album was HUGE and set to be Album of the Year until the Beatles released Abbey Road in September 1969; CSN won Best New Artists, which was ridiculous. Deja vu pre-sold 2 million copies.

If this sounds to you like something you'd hear today, you need to listen to them more. They sound way better than anything you hear today, which is mostly not even singing. Tell me one song or group today that sounds like these guys, I'm all ears. Listen to this album and also to their first album, which was just titles "Crosby, Stills and Nash."

They were what was classified as a “super group” back then. Four individuals that left top bands to form one new band.

If you loved this, they got some other great songs... "DELTA", "3 Ships", and "Southern Cross". Crosby (Long hair & stash), Nash(blond, shaved), Stills(long black, goatee), Young (Black hair, shaved). Had a near magical harmony. They're a Quartet of vocals, while those other guys were backup-instrumental. These guys did their first performance @ woodstock, not knowing each other-prior. The last great outcry of the human spirit, pulled them together like destiny-manifested.

Just FYI, you mixed up Stills and Nash, it's the other way around. Stills, blond, and Nash, goatee. Cheers!

That bass line before the breakdown though...man!

May I suggest “Teach Your Children Well” and “Woodstock”. Loving your reactions to the music I grew up with! 💜👵🏼✌🏼

CSN&Y plus a bass player and a drummer.

This is a great album and a great lead song. For me this and Carry On were psychedelic for the time, and I'm still trying to figure out the instrumentation. Was that a super bass guitar or just an amazing guitar? The vocals were great, the best vocal harmony in the business. Add on Wooden Ships and Guinevere to a listen to list because these fellows were amazing musicians from an amazing age of rock and roll!f

Give a listen to Carry On. Love it.

The "mysterious" Greg Reeves ,the bass player was only a teenager when he played on this album... All we really know is that he was playing with Rick James when CSN wanted him to record this album with them..

Lower row sitting L-R STEVEN STILLS & DAVID CROSBY (RIP) UPPER ROW L-R DALLAS TAYLOR, GREG REEVES, GRAHM NASH & NEIL YOUNG

Get the first album - Crosby, Stills and Nash. That's the start of the saga. Mindblowing for the time,...just as good now.

If you have one headphone off you're missing half the song. This era really used the stereo field, you're missing half the soundscape.

Try Vargants of Venice

Ohio is thought provoking and historical.

Always loved these guys for their vocals till I saw them live in Denver in the late 60's..... They sang out of tune. Could have been the sound system, the reverberation of the huge venue, whatever, but it was disappointing.

I was there. it was a total melt down and Neil walked out mid-concert, as I recall. It was at the Stock Show arena and the sound was not set up for music. The tour had been delayed after DC's girlfriend, Christine Hinton, was killed in a car accident and he was unable to start the tour. I think they just imploded from everything that had gone on in the past six months - the release of CSN, adding Y, the Manson murders so close to home (they started moving north to SF), Woodstock (their SECOND live gig), Christine's death, Altamont was about 2 weeks after the Denver show. A lot to take in.

@@melissa9375 Interesting to say the least. Yes, it was the stockyard venue, and as I recall, the opening act, whom I had yet to be aware of , was Santana! They did not appear to have much issue with the sound system, actually rocked the place, then CSN came out one at a time and did solo songs. The electric air Santana had created was sucked right out of the room. I also remember this concert as being the first time Niel Young appeared with them, it was advertised that way. I knew nothing of the personal troubles CSN were experiencing, that has to be left at the door when performing for thousands of paying fans. I then went out and bought Santanas album. Thanks for the reply.

@@melissa9375 I replied to your post, apparently it didn't go through. Lets see if I can remember... As I recall, Santana was the opening act, and they rocked the place, didn't seem to have any trouble with the sound. Yes, it was the stock yard arena, I don't recall Niel walking out, and I remember this as being his first show with CSN. When Santana finished, Crosby came out solo and all the electric energy in the room left. It was quite a letdown. Neither of the 3 are arena level solo acts in my estimation, yet they all did a few tunes alone. I knew nothing of the troubles you talk of, as virtually no one else in the room. Thanks for the exchange.
