Salfromchatham Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks for posting this! Saw them last year without Stills. Amazing guys to see in smaller theaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duluthdan Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Great video.....and I think that I could play David's guitar part too ! Do you have a D-45? To be done right, Crosby's part must be played on a D-45 BRW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passthej45 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Do you have a D-45? To be done right, Crosby's part must be played on a D-45 BRW Ah , we'll ya got me there. Bet it would sound just fine on my j45 though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretplay Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 This is fantastic, how good they are. I met Nash in the 60s nice guy. Interesting how Crosby forms the rhythm section playing what I think is a constant mute chord and 'doot d donting' vocals through the song , magic! Thanks TV.

j45nick Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 These two guys, plus Stephen Stills, have been at the top of my playlist for more than 40 years. Crosby's harmony sense is perfect, and he doesn't even have to use his voice up-front to get the job done. What I love about these two voices (not necessarily in this version of this song) is that they go together so well than they can shift between lead/harmony seamlessly, sometimes leaving you scratching your head about who is singing which part. I never get tired of listening to them. They did a pretty eerie back-up harmony on a Michael Hedges album that was put togther after Hedges' death, going back into the studio to record over the tracks Hedges laid down.

E-minor7 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Those guys are like my bigger brothers – I still sometimes dream they take up to play (will this continue the rest of my lifetime !?). Interesting it is to hear Croz take the high road on the word 'hair' in that snappy middle section – doesn't happen often. Do you have a link to the mentioned Hedges track, Nick ?

j45nick Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 My link Do you have a link to the mentioned Hedges track, Nick ? As I mentioned, this is a Crosby/Nash overdub over the Hedges solo lead vocal track, made after Hedges was killed in a car accident. Hedges wrote the song with CS&N in mind, as you can tell. This track began life as a rough cut not meant for release, so it isn't very polished. For those who don't know Michael Hedges, he was a staggeringly inventive multi-instrumentalist. He created all his own tunings, and wrote nothing in standard tuning. My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trvlr Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 Crosby's harmony sense is perfect, and he doens't even have to use his voice up-front to get the job done. no kidding...just raw pure harmony heaven in this clip. Goes to show what great vocals can do for the simplest of songs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-minor7 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Well, this track is superb. Right in the style of the that particular branch of acoustic music, , , and of CSN&Y. There is a song on the 4th Crosby Nash record from '04, simply called Crosby/Nash about the loss of Hedges. It was there I heard of him first. He's been up on the Board at least 1 time also. That song, Michael (Hedges here), is written by Nash and especially Nash seems to shine on the Hedges tune above. David does a fine figure too of course.

In the same vein, if you liked that one, I suspect you won't mind this one either..... I love Crosby's gesture at the very, very end of this clip. Does it sum these two up, or what?

E-minor7 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 In the same vein, if you liked that one, I suspect you won't mind this one either..... Heaven knows I've heard a version or 20 of this magnificent tune over the years – on records, via more or less obscure clips and live. Have this whole show on DVD and it's good. The particular version of G is incredibly well timed and dynamic. Songwriting does hardly get any deeper, does it, , , telepathic musical connection no stronger. Btw. saw CSN a year after this recording. Brought a G-harp and blew a few notes in the right song. I must have been Young that evening, , , pardon, meant : still a young man back then. . .
