Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young - Down By The River Live Performance

Location: Los Angeles, CA, United States Date: September 22, 1969

In 1969, during the apex of the iconic supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Neil Young contributed his distinctive voice and guitar prowess to the live performance of 'Down By The River.' Not long before this electrifying moment in Los Angeles, Neil released his self-titled album 'Neil Young' in 1968, which showcased his roots in folk rock. Interestingly, this period also marked a shift in Young's sound, leaning toward a more experimental and emotionally raw direction. The song 'Down By The River' itself had become a fan favorite, celebrated for its haunting lyrics and powerful melodies. The chemistry among the members of CSNY, particularly the blending of their voices, added a rich layer to the performance that continues to resonate with audiences today.
