Just lost my brother. For some reason, I've let my hair grow out this year. All my siblings say I look just like him with this beard and freak flag flying. I was going to cut it. It DOES get in the way. But I feel like I owe it to someone. Thanks Dave. Love and miss you Ralph.

DAVY!!!! WHOOO HOOO!!!!! We saw you at the Pleasantville Music Festival about 15 years ago and you are still the total package, my man. Keep on rockin' the free world...

Fckn Awesome !!! ... Texas USA ✌🏽

One of the best songs ever in rock music history and awesome performance. The melody gives a lot of space for guitar solos. Wish he never finishes up playing. CSNY fans must like this guy!

that‘s rock as its meant to be ... gave me the chills, man!!!!

In 1970 I had ran from the Midwest and was living in California. My hair was just covering my ears but I was determined to let it fly. This song seemed like an anthem to a 19 year old me.

One of the best covers I've ever heard. This is stellar.

Killing 9 minutes with one song, 3 chords, and the truth. That's a pro.

Remember when this song came out...It was a freedom flag flyin' for so many of my brothers...This sister buzzed hair, same feelin'...freedom to be the truth of yourself...Shine on!

Man, I love Davy He is incredible. A fellow Rory worshipper.

just saw the mention of Rory and totally agree would have been a blow up song for him I wear a Rory tshirt w a guitar and no one even comments as the world is ignorant of the best

Judging by this song, this guy should be well known - if not a superstar! I have never heard of him - love his voice! I will try to see him if ever possible. I'd love to hear more from him. The whole band is great! Well done remake!!

Excellente Version .... wow ..j y reviens encore et encore .....🤩❣

This is so beautiful. What a singer, what a guitar player...

Had the pleasure of watching him perform in our homeland of the isle of man many years ago in a small bar with about 8 people watching. Wish to god I had gotten an autograph now 😂

Knowles is a great package of playing and a great voice.

Wow! Power house performance of a classic with some house burning down guitar work. Amen.

Now that's rock n roll folks! Gotta love it! Great job!

Again, just love this rendition of the classic. DK really "owns" it.

Davey Knowles and Back Door Slam. Super underrated. Great live shows.

What a fabulous rendition ! I've been listening to this song for 40+ years.

Jesus,73 yoa today and found this by happenstance TY so very much Peace out

This is beyond good!

Fabulous guitar player and incredible singer !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Great playing by Davy Knowles. Great angle of Davy from his right. Beautiful. Thanks for this video.

My guitar teacher told me about him. He came to The Tin Pan in Richmond, Va, a couple of years ago. I bought my teacher a ticket and we saw Davy and his great band! He was awesome!! The drummer and Bass player are beasts!! Great concert. You have to see him him if he is scheduled anywhere near you!!!

I’ve always loved this song and what an awesome cover this is.

So proud to be Manx, Davy has been doing this for years amazing talent hope he finds the fame he deserves,the boy has worked his ass off,good luck mate Isle of Man so proud.

Davy is awesome. Killing it on that tele!

This is fantastic! What a great cover.

I was there muaha, magical ❤️

Had to play it over for a second time. Amazing stuff, we need more real talent in music today. Can’t wait to see him live. 😎

Wahnsinns Cover!!! Greetings from Germany

Imagine this would happen in the 70s. That playing and singing. It would be instand #1 in the country. Sad its not that way in 2019

Hell yeah!!!! Great performance!!!!

oh boy! do we need this? your damn right we do! Thank you Davy! Great song choice and fabulous cover!!!

Effin' incredible. I have never seen such a perfect cover of a perfect song. Yes I have. When he performed it 9 years earlier (2008 Washington DC concert, I think) with a different but just as effective lead guitar break that demonstrated the wide range of techniques he had developed by the age of 21. What a talent!

Davy, you are amazing! You stand with legends like Gary Moore!

Cool! They did a great job on this song.

Sublime

Just saw him Saturday night in Charlotte. BLEW ME AWAY. Love this guy and his music.

What a perfect rendition of a song of always loved. David Crosby would be proud. It almost seemed like Joe Cocker imitating David Crosby. Super cool, great performance, can't say enough about it.

Great Video thanks for sharing, this guy can do it all it seems , he makes that Tele sound like something else . Peace !

I've seen Johnny winter live twice,Buddie Guy once,Allman Bros. With Dickie and Warren Haynes,Tab Benoit,but I have to say he is among the best guitar players I've ever seen live or recorded. I really thought the tele was going to burst into flames!!!💥♨️🔥

Damn! Really amazing when you can improve on a classic! 💜Davy Forever💜

Cool............i want more this stuff! Great singer & guitarist!

WOW, what a great find! Amazing Tone and great voice, This is awesome stuff! (C U in Texas May 2019)

What an Amazing Talent!

This guys guitar talents are unsurpassed, great tone and vocals, the Hammond in the background kicks it. No other instrument can match it with a Leslie speaker. Disadvantage? Probably the cause of my seven back surgeries from moving it back and forth to gigs😘 back in the day.

Great version....the hell of a guitar....

Thank you, Dave Crosby For letting us freak flag fly✌🏽🎸

Awesome song, awesome cover. Davy Knowles 'gets it'...

Baseball player Magglio Ordonez (White Sox, Tigers), while an active player, grew his hair out - like Davy - and when a reporter asked him why he did it, he answered: "It's because that's who I am." I have hair like Davy and when people ask me why or even criticize me I answer the same: "It's who I am."

Awesome! Saw Davy Knowles live last summer in Madelia, MN. Drummer is awesome too!

Wow that is so bad ass 😊what a voice thanks 😊for sharin

Excellent,... "Tribute🎶🎵💙

Still stuck on this song. DK really brings this to life.

Been listening to KWS and this came up. Wow man this band can crank some blues. That fricken Tele is beautiful

What a brilliant rendition of a classic by a talented musician supported by a great band keep on rocking .

Bravissimo la grinta di un chitarrista degli anni 70 portata al giorno d oggi.

This performance dates back to 2017. Here in Italy, his "Hell to pay" has just begun to be played and known. Here in Italy real talent is always discovered later than elsewhere. What a pity!

Love this...Davy is truly an amazingly talented musician! Can't wait to see him again on Keeping The Blues Alive at Sea V in February 2019! Davy was a wonderful discovery, new to me, rockin' blues artist on last year's cruise!!!

Epic!

whowwww greatness is playing...love this and thanks for post, ,thanks to Davy K...and Crosby for the way he nailed it and S.N.Y. thanks for the great music you make ....well it is , Deja Vu from me!

Well well well ! Hell to the yeah 👍 Never Heard of this guy but I just introduced him to my playlist .

I just discovered this guy. I've been playing guitar for 40 years , WTF !? Well hidden or what? PEACE 👽💀🎸🎶🎵

this is a stunning cover! excellent 👏👏👏👏👏

ooooof, Davy... i'm lovin your music! this is the 1st time i've heard you, i have 3 criteria for good music: stops me in my tracks, makes my hair raise and if u can bring me to tears... you did!! good luck young man (i'm guessing you grew up listening to music, i did too, but it was your parent's music... i'm old enuf to be your mom). good luck, i wish u the best 💞☮ ps, please stay away from drug & alcohol, we didn't, wish we had

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!!

Five stars!! *******

Damn. Killed it. Awesome rendition

Crosby, Still, Nash and Young

Now that is soul of Rockin Roll right there Awesome job fellas

You're not gonna see a better version of this song anywhere.

Yea, it's a fine performance. I would like to see Davy live.

What a talent!

Big fan of Davy Knowles! Great stuff!

Great version Davy!

My favorite CSNY song! What a great cover!

Good one, it is heart warming to see the classic rock traditions being executed on

HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY-STUNNING-WITH HEART AND SOUL-GREAT

Absolutely Awesome .

The man is IMMENSE

Dude is on fire😊 bad ass

Am a huge fan of David Crosby and by extension CSN&Y and all the various combinations over the years. Also, a huge Rory fan. This is a great cover, not easy to do. Am also now going through all your videos especially the ones with BOF. Will be back regularly.

This a happy discovery for me. I'll enjoy diving into his catalogue now

Best cover.

Holy shit was that good!

Great performance Luv it !!!!

Give some love to that Hammond organ and its Leslie speaker...sweet

Superb!!!!!

excellent cover , glad i found Dave via an Iridium post where he was lauded by Frampton and Satriani

Good gravy, how did I just now find this gorgeous and amazing man. Wow. I need a moment.

Killer rendition...damn!

😳👍♥️ that's how you make it your own

Never heard of this guy. Very Rory Gallagher. Thanks for the post!

Magica versione🇮🇹

Good shit !🤘

I'm in love with that Tele. Rock on Davy!

Born 1958 always been a hippie in heart n soul always❤❤😊😊peace
