Groundbreaking musical political commentary in just show #4 of the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, 1967, but two months after it was recorded. Written by Stills as a response to the Sunset Strip riots when LA police enforced a curfew on young people going to nightclubs, and a mass demonstration with mass arrests resulted. When the show was taped, the song WASN'T EVEN IN THE Top 40. Soared to the top soon after. SNL, John Stewart, Colbert, and Maher owe much to the Smothers Brothers Show.

the yo yo man with a gun ( that's dicky smuthers for you under 40) this song and were have all the flovers gone put a hole generation in the street MAN ! but any body who remembers the sixties was not there. better livving thrugh chemestrey man!
Choice quality stuff from one of the best bands ever. Buffalo Springfield didn't last long but they put out some tremendous music while they were together, and Stephen Stills is in a class by himself - singing, song writing and playing guitar.
@MarkXian So well said. I think we both know what comes next. Another old song called "Ohio" by CSN&Y. I'm simply waitng for it myself, almost came true in Oakland the other night. I think there's a Mayor in NY City that needs a history lesson! Somedays I'm seeing videos from my own Nation that look very similiar to images I saw coming from Egypt not so long ago.
wow its funny the band is playing and there trying to do there song seriously but the smothers brothers are making them laugh lol great to hear this song
This is actually an awesome clip. Thanks so much to SixtiesPopGold1 or whoever u are for providing this, but it made my day just a little bit brighter.
@JPLV Exactly what part of that comment made me come off as mad? "Relax dude"? Do you consider speaking in a normal, calm manner as a reason to tell someone to relax? I was just surprised he said the movie he did. If anything your comment makes me mad 'cause you're so fucking stupid.
AHHH !!! Youtube gold !! I've been wondering what this is called / who did it for 20 bloody years. Found out at last !! I think I remember it from the TV series Tour of Duty, or even earlier ? Ha, now I can stand easy. Buffalo Springfield 'For what it's worth', GOT IT !!!
I CANT GET ENOUGH OF THIS SONG, ITS BRILLIANT, BEST UP LOUD TOO, AND IF YOUR INTERESTED I HAVE DONE A COVER OF THIS, ITS ON MY CHANNEL, I WOULD APPREICATE IT, THANKS, ROCK ON SPRINGFIELD :)
I'm sorry once again. I keep watching this video and what keeps standing out to me is Stephen's demeanor. He is so relaxed and enjoying the moment. This video does this song justice.
I would like to say that I like how Stephen just shrugged off the smuther brothers mundane attempt to lighten the mood of a song that had serious ramifications at the time. The song was a very serious depiction of a real event that made those in charge look bad and you have a corperate televsion station wanting their "hosts" to make like of it. Stephen and Neil both were bigger in that moment.
@qinghai1 "wanting their "hosts" to make like of it." To make LIGHT of it, I think is what you were after ? But I get your point, and agree with you.
Dag!! It's sounds as good as the recorded version. Maybe just the vocals are live cause Neil's Guitar sounds identical to the record. I dunno... I don't care... never mind... Carry on people...
@GPerch123: Seems you are still stuck in the 70s or what?What do you know in Ukraine about the "west"? I guess not a lot.America has not necessarily only an"Anglo-American heritage"-it was always an immigrant country(+that was even the intention of the USA from the beginning on!)+also lots of huge immigrant parts from other parts of the world:Germans, Irish, Polish, French, Spanish, Greek, Arabic etc etc.These immigrant groups would not be very delighted if you told them of"Anglo-Saxon"heritage.
@GPerch123: Your whole terminology is absurd+wrong, by the way ! You write:"Anglo-Saxon heritage".
The Saxons actually invaded Britain(or came peacefully)between 400-600 A.D.They were quite aware of their GERMAN heritage which even is prominent in the dialects they speak in England now.The Angles came from Danemark(which didn´t exist 400-600),their dialects in England now sound more influenced by Danish,Anglian is a dialect of the later Danish.Both groups came from North Germany+later Danemark.
@GPerch123:But not only the Angles+Saxons influenced the English language+British culture as a whole.
Other influences:Scandinavian vikings from Norway or Sweden(even today mocked about in the Muppets Show),the Normans who invaded Britain in 1066(battle of Hastings)+left a considerable part of their French language in the English language.Last but not least the Romans themselves who occupied England till the fourth century up to the region north of Manchester.And then the Celts of course !
@GPerch123:The English language has many more words from Latin or French than the German language (+we already have many Latin words),so get educated+inform yourself about the many foreign cultural parts which can influence a language,a culture,a country."Anglo-Saxon heritage"is silly tribalism of the worst kind-an insult to other folks in a country.
And no worry-our Arabic Germans are mostly very well integrated+we´ll also take the Turks to task.
It's definitely live--Stills varies the melody at points (most obviously the first line of verse 2), it doesn't match the record. But it's definitely different from what I remember from the original Smothers broadcast--I'm pretty sure Stills was wearing a fringed buckskin jacket and there was a buckboard as a backdrop...
@MrBluesnik Comments: Vocals are live. Instruments are not (see Neil Youngs mimed work) - good video only spoiled by sad attempts at humour by Smothers Bros.
This band could have easily been the Greatest Band in the world. Whilst Beatles were writing Love Love me do, Please Please Me She Luv U Yeah Yeah,(no disrespect) but the BS were writing For what its Worth
@jewellers100 yeah,but don't forget that Beatles also wrote Helter Skelter, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds, I am the Walrus, Revolution...Actually,all Beatles' albums from Rubber Soul to Abbey Road were perfect, and all the songs were simply marvelous...well,at least IMHO...
modern music isn't bad, you're all being close-minded. rap and shitty pop music isnt all there is... seriously there's a lot of psychedelic and folk music out there thats reminiscent of the 60s- all you gotta do is look for it.
I was lucky enough to be a teenager during the 60's, then, when I turned 18 in 1970, I heard what was supposed to be a hit - and I just couldnt believe it.
The song was "We've Only Just Begun" by the Carpenters. And 'Your Song" by Elton John, and I said: 'WHAT IS THIS SHIT!?!?!" and I knew at that moment the 60's had ended.
@xxratedbuzz Don't worry it still exists. Black keys is a good example that good rock n roll still lives.
But the media is not to happy making people think for themselfs, they throw rihanna justin bieber and all the other worthless money hunting so called "artists" right in our faces. We just need to ignore it maybe it will stop some time.
Half billion people have watched a kid with a stupid haircut sing "Baby Baby baby OOH"
It's sad...
But i'm glad that there are still people playing music.
@quirkyooable you are so crass, they were staring on the smother's brothers show and they were having fun songs were always part of the skit. Smothers brothers were against the media crap and ahead of their time, that's why their show was pulled obviously you missed the point.
I read some of the comments on here and realize so many people miss the point. The Smothers Brothers are NOT forgotten. Their contribution is considered very important. The Band was NOT miffed by this presentation as speculated by some here. All it did was garner them an even larger audience. One comment points out that Stills and Young are in the R&R Hall of Fame and Smothers Brothers are No Where..First of all the R&R HOF is considered a joke. The musicians and the SB get along just fine.
The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour was one of the very few places one could see bands like this with anti war views. The reason the Smother brothers are almost forgotten is because of their political views they were black balled.The skit was probaby agreed upon although Neil Young looked mad.
@lovewonout8 I have to disagree. The Smothers bros were awesome, and giving these guys air play was awesome. Steven Stills was smiling, so they enjoyed it as well
@chgojack1 - There is a time & a place for comedy. During a live music performance isnt the time. What is Steven Stills supposed to do when in the middle of a live performance? All he can do is smile. Is he supposed to stop? Give a dirty look on national TV? There is nothing he can do - except go with it. Granted it was the SB show, but you dont see Carson, Letterman, Leno interferring with musicians.
Stills & Young are in the R&R Hall of Fame, where are Tom & Dick? Forgotten Nobodys
@shwantz3 I still disagree, that's was part of the show. Jeez. It is impossible to respect the Smother's brothers and Buffalo Springfield at the same time?
@shwantz3 I don't know, I was kinda mad too when I first saw this video, mostly cause my gramps was in Vietnam, I wanted it to be serious and not people trying to turn it into a laugh track, it felt like they were making fun of the Vietnam War or not taking it seriously.

modern music isn't bad, you're all being close-minded. rap and shitty pop music isnt all there is... seriously there's a lot of psychedelic and folk music out there thats reminiscent of the 60s- all you gotta do is look for it.

It sounds like all the vocals are live, surprisingly.

I was lucky enough to be a teenager during the 60's, then, when I turned 18 in 1970, I heard what was supposed to be a hit - and I just couldnt believe it.
The song was "We've Only Just Begun" by the Carpenters. And 'Your Song" by Elton John, and I said: 'WHAT IS THIS SHIT!?!?!" and I knew at that moment the 60's had ended.

Music was way too beautiful during these times. Then the 80s and the 2000s happened...

@xxratedbuzz Don't worry it still exists. Black keys is a good example that good rock n roll still lives.
But the media is not to happy making people think for themselfs, they throw rihanna justin bieber and all the other worthless money hunting so called "artists" right in our faces. We just need to ignore it maybe it will stop some time.
Half billion people have watched a kid with a stupid haircut sing "Baby Baby baby OOH"
It's sad...
But i'm glad that there are still people playing music.

What ever happened to the other guys in this group? Stills and young are legends.

@quirkyooable you are so crass, they were staring on the smother's brothers show and they were having fun songs were always part of the skit. Smothers brothers were against the media crap and ahead of their time, that's why their show was pulled obviously you missed the point.

I read some of the comments on here and realize so many people miss the point. The Smothers Brothers are NOT forgotten. Their contribution is considered very important. The Band was NOT miffed by this presentation as speculated by some here. All it did was garner them an even larger audience. One comment points out that Stills and Young are in the R&R Hall of Fame and Smothers Brothers are No Where..First of all the R&R HOF is considered a joke. The musicians and the SB get along just fine.

He's not mad. After it shows Tommy Smothers with the gun, you can see Neil chuckling in the background. What a great vid.

The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour was one of the very few places one could see bands like this with anti war views. The reason the Smother brothers are almost forgotten is because of their political views they were black balled.The skit was probaby agreed upon although Neil Young looked mad.

I love this song, and God bless you Steven Stills! Also God bless you the Smothers Bros.

Serious song, too bad Smothers had to make a joke out of it. Thought he would know better.
lovewonout8 1 year ago 2
@lovewonout8 I have to disagree. The Smothers bros were awesome, and giving these guys air play was awesome. Steven Stills was smiling, so they enjoyed it as well
chgojack1 1 year ago
@chgojack1 - There is a time & a place for comedy. During a live music performance isnt the time. What is Steven Stills supposed to do when in the middle of a live performance? All he can do is smile. Is he supposed to stop? Give a dirty look on national TV? There is nothing he can do - except go with it. Granted it was the SB show, but you dont see Carson, Letterman, Leno interferring with musicians.
Stills & Young are in the R&R Hall of Fame, where are Tom & Dick? Forgotten Nobodys

@shwantz3 I still disagree, that's was part of the show. Jeez. It is impossible to respect the Smother's brothers and Buffalo Springfield at the same time?
chgojack1 1 year ago
@shwantz3 How can you honestly look at this, and not think the band is having a good time?
chgojack1 1 year ago
@shwantz3 I don't know, I was kinda mad too when I first saw this video, mostly cause my gramps was in Vietnam, I wanted it to be serious and not people trying to turn it into a laugh track, it felt like they were making fun of the Vietnam War or not taking it seriously.
