traditionalguy म्हणाले...: Beautiful music from an old white guy. He brings the 1960s back. We saw The Big Chill last night, and the cast all looked so young 33 years ago.; २२/४/१६, ९:५४ AM
CStanley म्हणाले...: I wanted to like this, and enjoyed hearing the story, but his vocals were just awful.; २२/४/१६, १०:०६ AM

jr565 म्हणाले...: Those who say his voice was terrible. Was it? I only watched about 3/4 of it but he seemed to hit most of the high notes pretty well.

In regards to Graham I heard he had an epic falling out with David Crosby recently and said he's essentially done with him and will never work with him again. Crosby also had a falling out with Neil young who also,will never work with him again. So, it seems like there's an issue with David Crosby being a douche. Then I'm thinking back to the Byrds and he left them pretty acrimoniously as well.
The notorious Byrds brothers album for example has a few songs with him contributing some vocals. But he left mid album.
On the cover they have a horse that many say is a stand in for Crosby. As in, the horse looks like Crosby or he's a horse's ass. Hellman and McGuinn both denied this, but then again they probably would.

At any rate, it seems like he has a tendency to piss off people he works with. Graham Nash, on the other hand, has always come across as a true gentleman. He doesn't seem strident unlike Crosby and definitely has a live and let live attitude. If HE is pissed off at Crosby enough to work with him again, Crosby has to really be a horse's ass.; २२/४/१६, ११:५५ AM
jr565 म्हणाले...: Ok, now I hear what people mean about the voice. It cracks a bit towards the end when he gets to the La La part. But, that's pretty minor. That's not bad at all. I heard paul McCartney perform Jet on SNL a few years ago, and it sounded ridiculously bad. He couldn't even get close to the higher notes. Graham's voice is nowhere near as shot.; २२/४/१६, १२:०० PM

Maybe, but they sure made some great music together. Saw CSN&Y at CHicago Stadium in 74 or 5. Awesome!; २२/४/१६, १२:१४ PM
CStanley म्हणाले...: @jr- I don't think it was pitch so much as tone and breathiness. It's such a sweet song and in the old days it was sung gently but now he has to strain too much. Not trying to be mean, I just didn't enjoy it.; २२/४/१६, १२:४१ PM

My song.; २२/४/१६, १:१० PM

Pre-nup eh?; २२/४/१६, १:२० PM

sane_voter म्हणाले...: Thought Graham sounded fine. I was never fond of the original recording, but I enjoyed this version.; २२/४/१६, ५:५६ PM
William म्हणाले...: OK version. He's lucky. It's the kind of song that an old man can sing and not look ridiculous. "I'm talking about my generation". Who knows wear the years grow.........Johnn Cash knew how to play his old man's voice like a fine instrument. Frank Sinatra was kind of sad and pathetic. Bare ruined choirs where late the sweet birds sang. Willie Nelson has got it all under control. Maybe C&W and folk singers handle the aging process better than pop and those rock singers who manage to reach led age.; २२/४/१६, ११:०७ PM
Chris N म्हणाले...: Apple, plum, pear, and quince,
The Hippie ethos makes me wince

Touchy-feely togetherness
Navel-gazing foreverness

Built upon an edifice
that might make even Oedipus

blush. It's been a long time since.; २३/४/१६, ११:४० AM
