Jesse Colin Young has passed away.

“Get Together” is one of those seminal songs from the era that just instantly takes me back to my childhood,

Yes. 

Jesse Colin Young lived around here for over 20 years, moving to Hawaii after losing his house & studio in the Mount Vision Fire of 1995.  I saw him do several solo sets in the 80s & 90s.  This particular time, he opened for the Rowan Brothers at the Sausalito Art Festival on 9/4/93.  He/they were just standing in a wide spot along the main path through the art exhibit, playing through their monitors.  Footnote: David Grisman Quintet played on the main stage that day.  All local groups, playing glorious acoustic music.

Through the miracle of Youtube, here's Jesse & Jackson Browne sharing a mic to Get Together at No Nukes in 1979 with Steve Stills, Graham Nash, and thousands of others:

Thanks petaluman. Beautiful and sad. Wish any large and diverse group of people today could get together and have that feeling of brotherhood, just for 5 minutes. 

Bought the Impex remaster of Elephant Mountain last year
