For me, as a certified Generation X'er, this song is hard...I get the brilliance, I understand the feeling it inspires, but I simply don't like it much...so, am I rating it on its historical relevance in the musical encyclopedia or whether it makes my ears happy? Hmmm...not often I get stuck like this...

"By the time we got to Woodstock, we were half a million strong!"....sends shivers!...Will the young people of today EVER feel like that? That they have the power to coalesce and have a SAY about what happens to the world? What HOPE we had! of course it's a 9

Self-edit: And they kicked ass with it. Stills's vocals at their best. |

Love this tune, but I wonder why the best
song on this album (IMHO) has never yet been
played on RP.
Here's hoping we soon hear 'Teach Your Children'!

Great song, but I have to wonder will I think of Lollapalooza 1992 the same way my parents think of Woodstock? Not quite the same I know, but I can still remember Soundgarden/Pearl Jam/Chili Peppers up there on the stage and all the craziness.  |

I really like Stills' singing in this, maybe better than Joni.

omg...we are listening to the CD right now....still one of my favorite albums of all time. we saw CSN at Merriweather Post Pavillion two years ago. They opened with an incredibly kick-ass version of "Carry On" (my favorite pick on the album). It set the tone of the evening - such amazing energy! They still rock so damn hard!!!

joni's live version on 'shadows and light' is nice too - she use a neat tuning: CGBbEbFBb , some percussive taps on the guitar, and a couple of harmonics to give a sort of ethereal feel to this sparse electric guitar arrangement - see jmdl.com for details
