Hoping to never be the old fart who thinks "new" anything sucks, can someone please explain to me why the music that's popular with people under the age of 30 holds weight with, say, music like this?
CSNY was "popular" music 40 years ago.
We have pop music today in which 30% of the artists are women in their late teens/early 20's who look like bikini models and don't appear to be bringing much except their bikini model appearance.
At 48, it's clear I am an old fart.

For the die-hards, here's the complete version of what appears to be the same performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUOLDTlMDKo |

Looks like Russ Kunkel on drums. Unfortunately the clip ends at 15 minutes, just as the boys are starting to crank it up another gear.

Tireless and timeless. One of the quintessential songs of its time from one of the greatest bands. And it still has plenty of life and spirit.

The start reminds me of Yes from the same period..not a bad thing in my book.

Mr. Stills played killer guitar licks, didn't he? And those harmonies ... back off, Andrews Sisters!

Geil, this video. Eveybody knew that they were not really capable of playing, but this was not the point. The point was they made such a lot of good feeling music. And, later, each of them became a famous musician!

So you suggest Bill plays "Carry On" 240 times in 10 days? Sounds like an AM station in the 70's Bill - do not go AM on us! |

This must be that new-fangled music I've been hearing about, that, or senility has set in and everything is new again. Nah, it`s still ole Shakey.

It's pretty good. Buffalo Springfield's original "Questions" was much better.

I know, i know... it's a classic from a classic album for sure. But I just can't get over the monotone choirs and the voice of Neil.. Heard it too many times on another classic-rock-radiostation and I'm afraid that killed it for me...

If you google search there is another video with Fallon/Neil and Bruce Springsteen doing some other pop song. |

Can't but would give anything to go back to these days. Only go here sparingly, it is bittersweet. The music spoke to every thought, emotion, and belief I had.
