I only recently came across this recording of the Big Sur Celebration of 1969. But it’s haunted me ever since.
Naturally I know The Youngbloods’ version of “Get Together”.
I heard them sing it at what was billed as the last love-in in Los Angeles. And
I love their delivery.
But this mixture of Joni Mitchell plus David Crosby,
Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, Neil Young and John Sebastian is magical.
(TBH, Sebastian doesn’t really add much. And I never was a
fan of his. These days you only see him on “Hits from the [whatever decade]
retrospectives during PBS pledge drive; about seven times per year.)
Crank the volume up and let the joy envelope you.
