this ones for you jerry klune although your not with us anymore physically your memory lifes on in all those that you touched in this life i know your listening to this getting as high as a kite and wondering why joni mitchell is butchering one of your favorite songs rest in peace my friend
looks like Joni's out of her element. She doesn't typically share vocals with anyone. Still's had been doing his part for 5 years, hell it was his song. David and Graham, they know it inside out and every move the other makes. I can't tell who Joni was using as a reference for a third up. Not sure she can tell either. Just don't forget, she wrote "Woodstock". So they're all in this one together.
I like Joni Mitchell, but here she sounds almost as bad as Yoko Ono screeching with John Lennon. Also the sound man had her mike cranked up way to high so her voice overpowers the others. Not the way singing harmony should work.
Joni Mitchel is one of my favorites and I absolutely love her.. but not here. Her voice cuts through and does not blend with the boys and she actually is singing out of key here here, something Ive never seen her do. Oh well, Stills was on fire in this one.

Getting past the music , I am personaly enjoying watching a group of very talented group of people who above all else , are enjoying each others company and friendship on stage :)
This is what is cool about YouTube. This is a less than stellar performance that normally would never see the light of day on TV or a DVD, but we got to see these classic musicians showing that they are human.
I love this song and I love CSN&Y but that was a trainwreck! I would have much rather had Young do the high part, not Joni. Just because she wrote "Woodstock" she was allowed to butcher that for them. Even if Stills was "out there" at least he can sing and play guitar! I'm pretty sure there was more involved than just cocaine. Maybe opiates & dust?
Joni is awesome here - I mean it's a pretty off the cuff jam and she adds a totally new flavour to the song. What about the note she sings to end the line "she's so free/how can you catch the sparrow?" No-one else would go there, only Joni with her natural aversion to perfect cadences.
Funny. Brutal. Awesome at the same time for historical purposes!. Can tell Joni Mitchel is KILLING Steve Stills! Ha! Back stage must have been fun! Snif sniff! Joni hits some brutal notes and knows it too! ha ha! Really.........she's got no business bein out there! ha
The performance is an ordeal to listen to, the whole way through, even before Joni stepped in. i kept thinking, this has to get better... and then after nearly 8 minutes of torture the end is cut off!!!
As for Joni's being there... A Couple of things: First and foremost, by this point she had slept with all of them, more than once (to say the least) and had a long-term relationship with Nash. She was also a Musician they all admired and looked to for approval... so they never would have said "No" to Her - and as much as I love Her, Dear God, this was a TERRIBLE idea!! Stills and Crosby are so wasted... Stills in particular is basically out of it!
Ok, she didn't exactly ruin it, but I've never heard her so unsure. It's not her song, fair enough, but she's all over the place, to be honest. Not a shining moment...
You are frickin' Crosby, Still and Nash! You performed at Woodstock for God's sake! And then you bring out two others singers, one of which is definitely out of it (Neil Young), and the other one (Joni Mitchell) has a totally different style voice??? They sounded bad before the two additions came on to the stage. In fact I had regressed embarrassment for the three guys, I didn't think it could get worse.... but then somehow it did...
just looking for bros that knew MAC, want input for a good book, height ashbury and china town, berkley,south park, fishermans wharf, san rafael, was my blood, need to colaberate with people that knew him, i miss him and need to put the story on paper...he was cool, call me at 3184780177, answers to nutso too, knarles barkley's crazy is me but still trying....lock and load....love
Joni is a wonderful addition to this song -- so many variations make it all the more enjoyable! Stills TOTALLY rocks his voice on this one -- love it!!!!!
Joni is a wonderful addition to this song -- so many variations make it all the more enjoyable! Stills TOTALLY rocks his voice on this one -- love it!!!!!
Is it me or is Joni Mitchell out of her class tryng to sing with them? Shes clearlty out of her league never was a big fan of Mitchell though her singing is atrocious!
Very Honest pervformance these guys were incredible this is one of my favorite songs great songwriters and arrangers of melody ya dont see that anymore~!!
@davidhaythornthwaite OOooooh, still talking tough you little BITCH. You still use sexual swear words on childrens channels! So, do you still dish out racist abuse? See you out and about in Lancashire, you gay little aids infested BITCH!
I think Joni was being a woman. If I am not mistaken this is when Stills broke with Judy Collins (this song being the description of their romance and break-up) and maybe Joni was worried about him. He does make a few comments during the song like, "I got nothin'left to lose." Just a thought.........................
This mix quality is responsible for most of the issues in the video (clearly not meant to be a professional video)... especially with Joni.
Joni is one of the most under-rated artists of our time... she was an inspiration to so many artists, including CSNY... her tunings surely inspired Stills to create this masterpiece, and having Joni join in should be seen as the tribute it was.
@michael52250 i think Bruce Palmer(Buffalo Springfield) had more to do with the tuning in this song. Joni Mitchell is awesome.....but she really ruins this number. just my two cents....
@michael52250 You pay too much credits for this lady... She surely inspired people.. but don't forget.. it was also the other way round.. In this case she spoiled/ruined a delicate voice-formation flying.. And in fact.. her voice irritates me a lot! To sing harmonies.. the most difficult job is to find the right harmony in the mid section.. singing the highest note is the easiest part!! Doing the things that Crosby and Still do pays my respect.
@Pan3405 You nailed it man. A lot of the time, you can't even hear David Crosby. But you sure do notice if he's not there. Truly gifted singer's & musician's. I just wish more group's took the time to hone and polish their music.
@MWL4466 Absolutely!! Here in the Netherlands we can only dream of concerts of these 4 guys!! I can still remember my friend showed an illegal lp of this concert.. The noise of people and the bad recordings.. I found it fantastic.. I still remember the pictures in black and white in our papers!! I was a kid 15 years old...
Don't let the past remind us of what we are not now!!! Something inside says that I have your secret...Tuesday morning pls be gone I'm tired of you!! I've got an answer...I going to fly away......Change my life....Be my.....
Do you know how hard it is do what Stephen does with the 'drummed' intro here? Very. Bloody. Hard. Trust me, I've tried ;) - Awesome moment - doesn't get much better than this :)
I suspect that Joni is merely unrehearsed here; as well as in a different octave. Listen to her albums; she is a MUCH better singer than you're giving her credit for.
@WayTooDazedConfus3d She just sat in (she was goin w/Nash at the time) "join CSN&Y".....she`d get a big laugh outta that one. BTW...your name`s appropriate.
@WayTooDazedConfus3d ~ The audience didn't seem to mind that much. What is so funny is that after Graham had a chat and probably said, 'Stick to the ooos and aaahs' Joni decides to join in and well the rest is a bit of fabulous human history. :)
Joni Mitchell is a superb singer, and I love her voice but she does not fit in well with the others. However, I really enjoy listening to Stills singing ANY song!
Pretty sloppy....but you have to remember in those days "hippie royalty" would just show up unrehearsed and jam. That being said, there is a such thing as too much harmony and Joni trying to add a 4th part doesn't sound good....and they know it.
But hey, those were fun times and we didn't go to these concerts for perfection, we went coz we love the artists and wanted to see them doing their thing on stage.
@barstoolguru Steven Stills wrote the song, about Judy Collins, whom he had a very big crush on, but they stayed only friends. They never had a romantic relationship.
Okay, forget it! They are all just being totally silly! ...and quite well aware of their actions...they are making a point, and you were supposed to ask them what was up! Even Joni Mitchell is horrid! ;)
I grew up with these guys, musically, that is. Neil Young is 9 days older than me. I never get tired of their music. Their songs still move me emotionally. gerden238, I just want to thank you for sharing their music on you tube. If you check out my site, you'll find I do a few of their songs myself.
I've been a fan of them since the 1970's, but really only through the radio. The richness and intensity of Stills' voice as evidenced in this video is really something to behold even this many years later. Seeing someone actually play an instrument and sing from the heart again is rejuvenating in today's musical landscape.
You're right... after Joni Mitchell joins in, it's hard to listen to it. The guy on the board wasn't doing his job. Should've turned her down much more than he did. She was overpowering them. I would've kicked her off the stage!
hard to keep listening after Joni joins in- maybe they didnt have state of the art monitor systems lik we do now and she couldnt hear herself?- great up to that point-real talent always shines thru!
Guess I never knew that Mama Cass Elliot introduced or suggested that Graham Nash should join David Crosby and Stephen Stills. What a intoduction...thank you Cass!!
I think the mis-conception about their drug-use was that onstage they were totally wasted. No they weren't. If they were, they wouldn't be able to perform. Sure, the cracks were beginning to show. But, they were still delivering, better than most, and it was compelling viewing. All their increasing drug-habits were doing was stunting their creative juices while feeding the ego-monster instead. The song-well was drying up, that's what 'doom' Neil Young could smell a-coming.
Wow... they are soo goood! ^,^ But yeah... they're definitely more plastered than a basement wall! I give them extra points for being able to play/sing at all... @_@

@WayTooDazedConfus3d:
I suspect that Joni is merely unrehearsed here; as well as in a different octave. Listen to her albums; she is a MUCH better singer than you're giving her credit for.

@GeorgenotSmith That's why I said she's really shit here..

@WayTooDazedConfus3d She just sat in (she was goin w/Nash at the time) "join CSN&Y".....she`d get a big laugh outta that one. BTW...your name`s appropriate.

@WayTooDazedConfus3d ~ The audience didn't seem to mind that much. What is so funny is that after Graham had a chat and probably said, 'Stick to the ooos and aaahs' Joni decides to join in and well the rest is a bit of fabulous human history. :)

Joni Mitchell is a superb singer, and I love her voice but she does not fit in well with the others. However, I really enjoy listening to Stills singing ANY song!

Pretty sloppy....but you have to remember in those days "hippie royalty" would just show up unrehearsed and jam. That being said, there is a such thing as too much harmony and Joni trying to add a 4th part doesn't sound good....and they know it.
But hey, those were fun times and we didn't go to these concerts for perfection, we went coz we love the artists and wanted to see them doing their thing on stage.

@barstoolguru Steven Stills wrote the song, about Judy Collins, whom he had a very big crush on, but they stayed only friends. They never had a romantic relationship.

Okay, forget it! They are all just being totally silly! ...and quite well aware of their actions...they are making a point, and you were supposed to ask them what was up! Even Joni Mitchell is horrid! ;)

I grew up with these guys, musically, that is. Neil Young is 9 days older than me. I never get tired of their music. Their songs still move me emotionally. gerden238, I just want to thank you for sharing their music on you tube. If you check out my site, you'll find I do a few of their songs myself.
franklafarostorytell 1 year ago
I've been a fan of them since the 1970's, but really only through the radio. The richness and intensity of Stills' voice as evidenced in this video is really something to behold even this many years later. Seeing someone actually play an instrument and sing from the heart again is rejuvenating in today's musical landscape.

You're right... after Joni Mitchell joins in, it's hard to listen to it. The guy on the board wasn't doing his job. Should've turned her down much more than he did. She was overpowering them. I would've kicked her off the stage!
7ohnnyramone 1 year ago
hard to keep listening after Joni joins in- maybe they didnt have state of the art monitor systems lik we do now and she couldnt hear herself?- great up to that point-real talent always shines thru!

I think the mis-conception about their drug-use was that onstage they were totally wasted. No they weren't. If they were, they wouldn't be able to perform. Sure, the cracks were beginning to show. But, they were still delivering, better than most, and it was compelling viewing. All their increasing drug-habits were doing was stunting their creative juices while feeding the ego-monster instead. The song-well was drying up, that's what 'doom' Neil Young could smell a-coming.
