Great post! Love the rendition of s classic. IMHO I always thought this was the kind of thing the CSN did best. You could hear that 50 years after it was recorded and you would say Hey, that's Crosby, Stills and Nash!
Why do all you people have to start arguing, insulting each other about who did what, better, first, etc? Just enjoy the f'ing video or don't and move on!
their voices were or are so good with each other the song dosn't even need much else harmany they have it yes 51 years old went to see them so much anti nuke railey fun times
@michaelvoland54 'Only' CSN can sing like this. Graham was so right to fly over here to the States to sing with his two new American friends; nothng else like this sound on earth even if the Hollies were superb.
Hey, Paul wrote and sang this and if you play guitar you will know it is difficult to play correctly and certainly not simple. Csn's version does nothing for me although they are one of my favourite bands of all time.
True Benttt2K, however, I'm gonna have to disagree. Don't forget in this video, they're singing live. Last time I checked the Beatles never did the whole "live" thing and I'm sure they sang Because and Sun King like 30 times each before getting it right. Hence why no matter what anyone says, the Beatles can't be the greatest rock band of all time.
@TheHiflyer89 Who then is? Of course, it's subjective, but I think the Beatles were great because they broke the mold as far as band focal point/leadership. All bands before (and usually since) had one lead singer where all the focus was. The Beatles chnaged all that.
This is my video and I wish I remembered how to upload more but Stephen was sooo beautiful If you get a chance get this dvd it is awesom Wembly Stadium 1974.
Sorry...while this verision is great, Paul wrote it to be SIMPLE as recorded by the beatles...Paul and the gang can certainly arrange vocals just as well if not better than CSN....didn't you ever hear songs like Because and Sun King.....???
Well considering John Lennon didnt write OR sing Blackbird I dont think he does it better than PAUL, but nevertheless its a good cover of a great song.
not quite sure i agree with the cute comment. but this version is to me far superior to the beatles version. I mean the beatles are great but it takes even more talent to take a basic little song like blackbird and arrange the vocal harmonies like Stephen Stills did

3 part harmony perfected. I mean with a lead that was in his prime. Filthy/good!

@getarslim Actually it's bloody easy to play in the right tuning. Tune to Open G and you're there. Couldn't be easier.

Far superior to the Beatles version. Crosby and Nash knew how to harmonize so well that it's a cut above a mere tune.
