Make the angels cry

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.
