I was a student in the crowd on the Kent State campus on May 4, 1970. This song and seeing these kids so involved means so much to me. When I hear Ohio I am brought back to that day and the sad loss of my fellow students... but this rendition sounds joyful and this is how I want to feel from now on. I am joyful that I got to live another 51 years (so far.)

This is the most stunning and powerful version of the song I've ever heard -- including the original. What drives the power home for me is that -- all those young musician kids whose parents were kids when the killings took place REALLY got into it. I'm depressed at how history-starved kids are today. This brings me hope; this history came alive for and with those kids. This concert was 7 years ago; they're all gonna be voting come November. Let's see if this made a difference to them.

Just some trivia. Neil Young, who wrote the original song was a Canadian at the time. When the song was recorded David Crosby got really emotional - he cried during the last part of the session.You can hear his voice tremble and break at the end. We were all in a state of shock, anger, and disbelief. And the picture of that 14 year old crying “Can somebody please, please help this boy” was just republished a few days ago. Her kneeling over a dying student in shock and disbelief won the Pulitzer Prize that year - it changed the way a nation saw its reality.

Cruising by (not so) old dvds I found that was Crosby who showed Young the mag with the picture of the young woman kneeling beside the dead student. Young wrote the song immediatly, just in front of Crosby who had Nash to make arrangements to hire a studio to record the song Ohio. In "Remember my name" Crosby points at the picture of the sub-humans firing their guns. It´s a must-watch. The immediate release of the single record thanks to the late Ahmet Ertegun was a real hit (in many senses of the word): Stay well. Stand up and be counted.
