It's like when some Republicans tried to use "Born in the USA"... like did they actually listen to the full song? Did they not listen to the rest of Bruce's catalog? Clearly, not a Republican song, clearly not a Republican sort of guy based on his other songs.

Do the people at the concert here not remember what Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young stood for? Do they just listen to the music, and not pay attention to the lyrics, until one comes up that is a bit more clear? "It was a little political", yes... Jesus Christ, listen to their catalog, they are solid left, anti-war...

It just dumbfounds me, why, if you are far right, would you like CSN? Why does Paul Ryan, like Rage Against the Machine, when everything their music stands for is against all he stands for? I just don't get it.

Do you really think I don't know CSN&(sometimes)Y?

This still sounds a lot like Phish who, along with CSNY, sound a lot like Allman Brothers.

To my understanding CSN&Y put this song out in 12 days from the killing.

To my understanding to this cay the national guard ( which is down the street from the college) is not allowed to drive past the school.

This represents one of the best songs from that period.
Thanks for posting.

Really nice work. Reminds me a bit of the CSN&Y version which is lovely.

>> ^atara:
They were invited to the campus for a memorial service a year or two after the massacre, but CSN&Y refused to come play.

Were they invited by the same authority that invited the National Guard to campus? I wouldn't blame them if they refused a request from Rhodes. I'm just throwing that out there - I have no idea what the circumstances were.

My point is that one doesn't have to have been present at, or a participant in, a cultural event to have been affected by or qualified to comment on that event. Young's song resonated throughout the country (and still does), despite his reluctance to visit. Kind of like "Southern Man". I doubt Neil has spent much time in the deep south - he certainly didn't grow up there like I did, but his lyrics still ring true.

My parents were both there as students. My mother was in the parking lot in the line of fire.

To this day my mom frowns every time she thinks about Neil Young & co. They were invited to the campus for a memorial service a year or two after the massacre, but CSN&Y refused to come play. Neil Young didn't even visit Kent State until the 1997 commemoration.

Although my favorite cover of this old Beatles classic is the CSN&Y one, this is pretty good.

I wanted to thank you for posting your comment about the loudness wars. It cut through the crap and made a lot of sense. I was upset when I first saw the vid, as I didn't know such remastering was done. I do see how some rock albums, like greenday, wouldn't suffer much from having a brickwall of sound.

One thing, though: given a more ideal audio listening situation (a decent home theater system or monitors, instead of a portable CD player or walkman radio), wouldn't the song always be better off with less normalization and processing? In terms of releasing a song to consumer CD's, is normalization and all that really just meant to compensate for poor sound systems, and improve SNR?

Thank you!

“To Add my .02 worth:

I'm a professional Mastering Engineer, this is the most asked question I get these days from people who notice such things. They usually ask how I stand on the idea of all this, and I usually say that it has its place. The last Green Day Album would be a perfect example of an album that having a "brickwall" or "2x4" waveform is fine, but put that same kind compression on re-mastered CSN or Grateful Dead and we have a problem.

I was saying just today at lunch when this question was raised that it's a shame that more of today's young engineers haven't had to deal with analogue tape. Tape was on it's way out as I got my start in the biz, but at my first job the fellas there MADE me work in analogue to get used to the care that it takes when it comes to levels and compression. Much like learning to draft, you have to learn with paper and pencil first to get a "feel" for it.

Great vid! Thanks for sifting it.”
