CROSBY STILLS NASH (Live) - Suite: Judy Blue Eyes (w / lyrics)

[gsf67]

I'm looking forward to seeing them when they come to my home town in 2 weeks time.

[chi4you2]

Anyone know if this is available on DVD?

[josh15soto25]

its getting to the point WHERE IM NO FUN ANYMORE

[chi4you2]

Last time i heard them do this was on their C,S,N & Y tour 2001 or 2002 in baltimore. Stills did long guitar solos like at 3:12. By the time they got to "change my life' they were spent. They had NAILED it! Stills spiked the his pic like in football. Didn't even finish the refrain.

[JD06STi]

Do you think they ever get tired of singing the same songs for 40 years?

[afro20man]

@JD06STi yes but thats why they get stoned so it still feels like the first time

[JD06STi]

@afro20man I never get tired of hearing them, so I guess they don't mind playing them.

[ozzyFTW1369]

[LHcountryboy1]

[psychonessness]

[markdrumsalot]

awesome video, thanks for posting !! did you notice they omitted a part of the last verse ? at 3:26 it should be " voices of the angels...how can you catch the sparrow?", then "lacy, lilting,...be my lady "---still a great video, thanks again for posting !!---

[chi4you2]

I last heard them do this song while on tour with Neil 2000 or 2001. Wish they would still perform it. Such a great song.

[boomblaster721]

crosby's harmony broadens it.

[MrType22003]

the genious of Stills comes thru.....to take someune else's song & do this with it!

[Inspector711]

@MrType22003 Stills wrote this song.

[privettricker]

Pity they cut Stephen's guitar solo out, though!

[privettricker]

I remember watching this on HBO when it aired in May 1988. Haven't seen it since then, and it's even better than I remembered it.

[lelegozi]

i migliori anni della mia vita !

[kumgangpoepsa]

Thanks to all for replying my question. I knew the Spanish lines, as it's my own language, but I can't understand particularly at 4:33 this time. Thanks anyway!

[rwnes]

Great Harmonies.

[wildwahine1]

Oof....classic hot rock n roll

[kumgangpoepsa]

4:33 can anybody tell me please what does Stephen says? Thanks

@kumga Wiki

The final section (the coda) is sung in broken Spanish. The section starts at about 6:34 (studio cut) and runs until the end of the song. The "doo-doo-doot" backing vocals make the lyrics difficult to make out for some listeners. Stills has been cited, perhaps apocryphally, as saying that he intentionally made the final stanzas unexpected and difficult, even using a foreign language for the lyrics, "just to make sure nobody would understand it" (not even spanish speaking people).

@kumga

In the mid-1960s, Stephen Stills attended Lincoln School in San José, Costa Rica. The private school was attended mainly by upper-class Costa Ricans and had many foreign teachers and students. Stills's longtime musical collaborator, the Cuban percussionist Joe Lala, plays on the recording of the song.

The lines might be transcribed as follows: Que linda me la traiga Cuba La reina de la Mar Caribe Quiero solo visitarla alli Y que triste que no puedo vaya O va, o va

[JVolvo2007]

@kumga A rough translation into English might read: How beautiful it would be to bring me to Cuba The queen of the Caribbean I only want to visit you there And how sad that I can't go Oh go, oh go!

A variation of this occurs on 4 Way Street: Que lástima que no puedo vaya! (It's a pity that I cannot go! - re US anti-Castro/Communism embargo on Cuba).

This version has Stephen improvising throughout, so it's hard to tell. Hey, he gets to sing it however he wants! :o)

[sexysjmsmoker]

The greatest song in by one of the greatest, classic rock and roll bands in history!

In my opinion, hearing this LIVE at a show is like a RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE, especially during the REPRISE.

This looks to be from the late '90s? Anyone know?

The last time I've ever heard them play it LIVE in L.A was in '96 at Verizon (nee Irvine Meadows)

I've seen 17 CS&N shows!

Can't wait for #18 during their tour this year.

[boomblaster721]

@sexysjmsmoker i envy u bigtime....huhuhu.

[hayjade909]

"Ruby throated sparrow"...havent we all fallen in love with one??? where will you be tomorrow???

[chi4you2]

Great posting. I'd love to know the year of this also. I last heard the guys do Judy Blue Eyes in 2002, I think. I've heard them several times since but they don't do it anymore. Possibly due to Steven's voice. In any case, arguably, the best song by the one of the legends of Rock. Harmonies from Heaven.

[barryhawk23]

what year is this?

[GBeret83]

If 3-part harmony gets any better than this, I don't know if i've ever heard it.

[cbproducktions]

@GBeret83

Great harmony, it's even better with Young too!

[alexhogan]

I need to marry Steven Stills!

[SacrificeItAllToYou]

they are so great together!!

[BlueJudySuite]
