I hear this song and I think back to that day at Kent State where I lost all my wide-eyed innocents about America. I was never the same.

To the young people, remember your history!

52 years ago today May 4th 1970 , never forget !

anyone else's mind blown that a high school band is performing a protest song from the late sixties about four students being gunned down by the national guard. there is always still hope! ken burns Vietnam has a great section about the tragedy.

Best Harmony & Songwriter DAVID. CROSBY 🎤 ☮️ 👍

Is out there anyone listening to this Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young absolute classic with me in 2020?

David Crosby passed away few hours ago The legendary singer/Songwriter stays great parts of Musical history Hope those young people will carry on his music many many decades to come

I'm the little girl playing snare drum in the front, haha! Was such an incredible night and experience. Such an honor. Never seen this video before! Thank you SO much for posting!!

Whoever came up the the idea of using all those kids was a genius. It enhanced the entire performance and created memories for those kids that will follow them the rest of their lives. I lived through Kent State and never thought I'd see the like again and then we saw what happened on the streets of Portland, Oregon.

David worked very hard at giving back during the second half of his life to try and mend the wrongs of his past. Thank you for your service David ❤️‍🩹

Crosby passed yesterday. I felt the need to hear the Ohio song. So beautifully played but the innocent lives lost that day at Kent State University still have me asking "why". May Crosby and the victims of this senseless tragedy rest in peace.

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.)

RIP David Crosby! Here to listen to your beautiful voice. What a marvelous, powerful version of this song.

Best version of this song that I have heard.😀😀😀😀 THanks Neil Young for writing it. Thanks CSNY for the song. Rest in peace David.

RIP David Crosby! Thanks for the music.

With the passing of David Crosby I salute the man who inspired so many till the end!

A very dark day in American history. Forever immortalized in this song written by Neil Young and performed by CSNY. I still have the 45. Epic performance here. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Neil Young, for this masterpiece! Great job, David, on this song!

Best version of Ohio , ever . Tears in the eyes of this old man . Unbelievably great stuff ! Many thanks , Michael

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.

RIP to legend David Crosby, your music gave generations a lifetime of love and appreciation for humanity

I remember this song when it was brand new. Turbulent times. A song for the ages.

Wonderful to hear younger people understanding and “diggin” this anthem from so long ago.

RIP David, you left your mark on this earth

The lead guitar guy crushes it. Amazing performance by everyone!

The most legendary moment for those kids and the audience, hell for ALL involved including us watching it!! Love you David Crosby!!! EPIC!

Great performance, I am an army vet and singer and artist, my father was a WW2 vet, avoid wars at all cost!

That audience has no idea of how legendary this is, awesome!

Yessssss!! I'm just an old hippie but I know good music. We were all hurt and angry about what happened at Kent State. And I do hope these kids knew they were performing with some of the greats .

I was 17years lost in the lost world 🌎 heard this song 🎵 on the short wave receiver, I never looked back. R I P David Crosby thank you for the music from South Africa 🇿🇦

The songs tell and show both fragility and strength. The beautiful melodies touch my soul and I thank you. David Crosby a legend and classy musician.

I saw Neil live on 9 -19 -19 and he did this song. When he played the first chords on his Falcon it was a powerful moment. I was 8 years old, living in Ohio in 1970 and I still have vivid memories of when this happened at Kent St.

Absolutely BRILLIANT! what a wonderful version of this Incredibly powerful song! Great to see all those young people enjoying it too.I hope they understood its meaning..

This song impacted me I was twelve years old .seven years later this damn war was still going on.god bless our vets.

OMG How amazing for David, The band Venice to play this with the school and the band and young people. PRICELESS!!!!

Brought a tear to my eyes.. Thanks for posting…✌🏼

RIP David Crosby! You were amazing!

To have that many musicians playing together and sounding really great is freaking amazing!

I remember when it happened, the song is just as relevant today.

This gem of a song still sparkles - who says good rockmusic can´t be political? And the young musicians with their talent and enthusiasm make this just awesome to watch!

I see not many people are listening to this great music in this generation crazy how times change great band 🤔

Not a celebration..A day in US History that should sober all of us .....LET US NOT FORGET !!!!!

Never, ever get tired of this song - what a great performance - so much feeling!!

I am an avid fan of CSN+Y especially NY but this has to be the best version I've heard! Rock on Croz!

DC, world class, great voice, loved him and his music since Deja Vu, all the best David C...

Great for kids to experience being a part of and expressing their voice and gifts True community and mutual resource Beautiful and powerful True mentoring!

WOW .... This is even better than the original in it's power to make me shiver and dry my mouth out. STUNNING.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Powerful, beautiful, tragic, real. It speaks…ever so deeply!

You will never die, David Crosby!

Rest in Peace David ☆

RIP, GREAT Crosby! God bless you!

See, these are the videos that deserve hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of views.

Super Classic ,Great Music ,David is David Crosby The best

What a stark, remarkable performance of this legendary piece ... it's an unusual, but representative gathering of all Souls that terrible day affected. May we never forget that tragedy.

First time listening to this, phenomenal audio/video of David Crosby w/orchestra! Hard to believe this sounds so awesome, absolutely stunning.

Wow, this video made me feel the same way I felt when it first came out. It was great seeing young people getting in to the song. Great job to everyone involved.

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.

This f’ing rocks & these kids are too! How did I just find it a couple days ago🙃has to be watched, not just listened to.

It doesn't get much better than this. Turn the volume UP!!

Man kids were so proud. They. Played with david Crosby awesome kids that's what more of young musicians you go vuys

I was at this concert - blown away by quality of shooting, and especially editing here. Well done!!!

Have seen and heard it so many times, it's still great! The energy spewed from it. I love the girl with the violin to Dann's right. She's having a really good time!

Some people don't understand how badly we need to remember our dead. Thank you David and Company.

David Crosby has been welcomed home by the Kent State four with open arms... RIP Warriors. Jeffrey Glenn Miller; age 20. Allison B. Krause; age 19. William Knox Schroeder; age 19. Sandra Lee Scheuer; age 20.

I was at BRANDEIS with my husband to be George on May 4 1970-THE day of KENT STATE OHIO never forget!!!! Real BULLETS NIXON...

Thank you David Amazing .. I get the same feeling Just like when I've heard this song for the first time.

Absolutely amazing! God bless you David! RIP!

Wow! That was absolutely incredible! ❤😊

Just outstanding! So powerful with all these awesome kids and their instruments! Brilliant!!!

Grazie di tutto,grande David Crosby.

5 minutes of music to be proud of for all involved! 🎵🎵👍👍🎵🎵

R.I.P. David Crosby. Thank por existir.

That was absolutely amazing. What a performance. The very best!

Wow so powerful. I feel the change is coming when I watch you all with the students.

so cool the old and the young playing together; I hope the young understood the song

Yes I m still listening to this masterpiece from the deepest desert ... ...of algeria Neil young un maître incontesté !

Crosby never ceases to amaze. Good Job everyone! Great rendition!

Maybe the most important song Neil Young has written. And what a version!

D. CROSBY, WE MISS YOU!!

This is so very moving, especially to some of us from a certain generation. The students killed were only a year or two older than these young people.Babies

Absolutely majestic stuff. I don't know how Neil could've restrained himself from making overtures of peace after hearing, and surely he had, this deeply soulful rendition of one of his most moving creations. Unfortunately, a permafrost seemed to engulf the interpersonal relationship side of Mr. Soul. Smooth sailing to you, Capt. Crosby.

I HAVE to wonder, and HOPE; that those on stage, playing this Anthem of a song…KNEW the significance of what they had performed ! I can only hope .

When you get young musicians fired up enough you get this. I want to know who fired them up to this extent and how they did it. I’d really like to know if David Crosby managed it. It’s also brilliantly arranged with the drummers coming down the aisle.

If the past is repeating itself... somewhere another david crosby is reborn.

simply amazing job of producing this performance.

Thanks a lot guys for this powerful experience...Long life Croz! This energy makes me younger...

Big concert with fantastic musicians!

Overwhelming - Stunning!!!

This year I finally drove down to Kent state for the May 4 commemoration ceremonies It was powerful and moving and I hope to attend every year in the future, I met a few of those who were wounded that day and learn much on the weekends events that led up to the shooting, I highly recommend attending especially the eve before for the candlelight vigil Thank you so much for this song

I notice David Crosby with no smile oh ..he does remember and hasn't forgotten that awful day..Kent St ....

This is so cool! To see what David Crosby is up to now, supporting and inspiring the next generation. I like the arrangement too - the brass sound great!

Wow! It caused me chills! That is the proof that good music never dies or is forgotten. A great night for all this girls and boys playing with Mr. Crosby and friends. I will share it on my profile, no doubt! Thank you Seals...

brilliant sound.. voices. wow

very good performance, RIP David

Absolutely perfect!😍👍
