Keep in mind young grasshoppers that this was the FIRST time CSN played in public . . . Yup, a late act compiled to play at Woodstock after John Sebastian (Lovin' Spoonful- "Summer in the City") decided not to join the band.
I had read that this was the first time they had played this song in front of audience...sure did great..this was one of my sister Judy's fav song..she passed away last month and I want to dedicate this to her....
I am now almost 62 years old. Why does this make me wish I were still 20??? I know-- it is because these folks were the voice of my generation. My most valuable one is For What it's Worth. The trueness of out time!!
@herb821 neil young refused to be on camera for the performance. if you are a true neil young fan you can hear his voice in the mix. it's perfectly obvious. also, the PA announcer says "and young" while the audience is clapping. it's hard to hear, but listen closely.
what? jajaja young is obviously not singing here, you can clearly listen to 3 voices and the anoucer never says " and Young" jajajjaa I listen to a lot of CSNY and I know when young is singing and when he's not
@TheTeehee97 where did you get this information from ? because im kinda sure that i heard a different way hendrix got there ,,, i do know this there was a guitarist that played his heart out from behind the stage named larry lee and he also played a few leads ,, as well the band when hendrix played was not his band , he also played at 9 am in the morning and more than half the people were already gone
Fuck, a real festival with none of that commercial crap that they are now smothered in. we will never have something that pure ever again. It must have been so beautiful. I fuckin hate the world today. It is so corrupted by money that nothing is pure and sacred. Long live CSNY!
@tylerlovesthebeatles Neil was there, you hear the announcer say the names in the cadence of CNSY, but he leaves Neil's name off...Neil refused to be on camera, already an iconoclast
my mom dated crosby in the 70s...they used to jam in our kitchen in San Jose California...he gave me an acoustic guitar (harmony)........very cool....
Crosby is playing a 12 string guitar. This was the second time they have played together which stills says in the first 20 seconds. And young refused to go on camera during woodstock, probably because he was in the country illegally at the time.
It doesn't get better than this IMO of course. Can anyone tell me what Crosby is playing? Well not sure exactly what he's doing with his guitar but it looks like a Martin D12 35.
@no10851pc i hear what i think is a sitar in this song. i think a sitar is an 18 string ,eastern indian instument. i can't see this video too well. i am not sure about this, though.
I know each generation has its favorites and all. BUT... this is 3 guys, 3 mics and 3 guitars, thats all. No overdubbing, synths or harmonizers. And I believe this is the first time they played it live. One of the great acoustic performances of all time.

@NYerintransit I agree. 'Suite Judy' is a timeless song of loss and unrequited love. The misery that Mr. Stills was under when he penned this classic shows what artists do best; when confronted with tragedy of immeasurable proportions, you somehow wring the music out of it into an act that approaches redemption.
