When you think about it, from just two West Coast bands, Buffalo Springfield and Byrds, at least seven great singer-songwriters emerged: Clark, Crosby, Furray, Hillman, McGuinn, Stills and Young (plus later additions like Parsons and Messina)! They were supergroups but nobody was aware of the fact then.

Except nobody from Moby Grape went on to great success like Stills, Young, Fury, and Crosby.

I met Richie Furay several times at Bible conferences. He is a wonderful man.

I won a copy of the Doors from a local radio station. I wouldn't even open it, instead I took it to a local store and traded it for this, the first Buffalo Springfield! Still one of my favorites!

Great presentation.... You really are at the top of your game. In depth information, a lot of bytes from their discography; and behind the scenes facts (in & out of the studio). Nothing else keeps my attention like your videos... Thank you!

Woah, I didnt realize you had a series on Buffalo Springfield!! One of my favourites!! I'm so jazzed, cancelling the rest of my morning plans, lol

Great work...so detailed and filled with lots of great info! ☺✌🏾

I was lucky enough to hear them open for The Rolling Stones at the Hollywood Bowl. Love the one hit wonders like Moby Grape, Arthur Lee and Love. Really enjoy your channel. Thank you.

Great stuff. For those of us who are familiar with the music but not that familiar with the background story of the band and its members, this video is perfect. 👍

Another excellent job!! Love this channel!!

Keep being you, always quality analysis!

I also met Richie a few years back after one of his concerts. A beautiful down to earth human being

Thanks for your fascinating review of the three albums. As you noted, they were such a wellspring of future success! You brought out the character of their individual personalities, as well as the dynamics of the band itself.

Love this album. One of my favorites.

Love the Buffalo Springfield. They and the Byrds are the closest we got to an "American Beatles." If only both bands didn't have such personality clashes imagine what they could have achieved between Stephen Stills, Neil Young, and Richie Furay in one and Gene Clark, Jim McGuinn, David Crosby, and Chris Hillman in the other. Incredible roster of talents!

Thanks for this. Until now, pretty much all I really knew of this band was the classic “For What It’s Worth”. Love discovering deeper cuts and obscure singles from bands like this. Also recently discovered the Rascals thanks to your vids.

Love, love, love the Buffalo Springfield. Have been a fan since 1967. I “discovered” them via an article in “16 Magazine” where Peter Tork of the Monkees said he was a friend of Stephen’s and he highly recommended the band. I bought their second album and I was blown away. I bought their first album, too, and eventually their third and final album. I was thrilled when the box set came out. I never saw the Springfield live. I was hoping for a reunion after Stephen, Neil, and Richie did a few gigs together back in 2010 but alas, it never happened. I saw CSNY many times and Richie Furay, too. I’ve met Richie several times. One of the nicest celebs I’ve ever met. Really enjoyed this video and I’m looking forward to your other Buffalo Springfield videos, too.

Thank you, Jilly. The turntable is a Denon DP-7F. I bought this in about 1992 and I like that it is a direct drive with fully automatic functions. The auto function buttons have separate start and stop buttons. The others are for the lifter, repeat, record size, speed, and power. I'm not an audiophile so my equipment is midrange stuff, at least is was when I bought it. I like that all the functions are on the outside of the dust cover.

The Byrds helped them get their first gigs and loaned them equipment. At some point they approached Chris Hillman and Jim (later Roger) McGuinn about managing them. Greene and Stone threatened their first manager, Dickie Davis, in the back of a limo. They weren't the best producers, which is why Stills and Ahmet Ertegun produced 'For What It's worth'.

Whenever I see Chris Hillman's name, my mind always goes to the Flying Burrito Brothers, and Gram Parsons early death, etc. And time keeps marching on, which is sometimes a good thing, and sometimes not such a great thing.

According to Stills, if the producers thought a song was too long, they said, Play it faster. They didn't have any real respect for the material. The other problem was their inability to get a decent bass sound, which was a big part of their live act. Stills said he and Young looked at each other and said, We better learn how to record this stuff ourselves. Which they did, but not in time to save the Springfield.

About three years ago I think it was the entire Buffalo Springfield catalog was remixed and remastered for vinyl the first two albums were in mono and the third album was remixed in stereo all three sound fantastic if I remember correctly Neil Young oversaw the project

The intro to Go and say goodbye. Is the hook for a song called Salt Creek, a bluegrass staple

I'd love to see you cover the Hollies.

Had the two versions of this album. The first had "Baby Don't Scold Me," a driving Steve Stills' song with a riff reminiscent of the Beatles' "Day Tripper," which, as stated, was replaced by "For What It's Worth." Not thinking about worth, sold all my vinyl ten years back.

I have that CD, and I think it's pretty wonderful, although it's obviously a cheap piece of work. Everything by this band is worth getting. The double LP best-of has the extended version of "Bluebird", which is the way I first heard them, tripping to the radio while the DJ was taking a leak. 😄

@Pop Goes The 60s - wondering if you’ve ever heard Fever Tree’s cover of, “Nowadays...?” I heard their version long before Springfield’s. I can wholeheartedly recommend Fever Tree’s self-titled 1968 LP. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Take my advice, buy the boxed set! ❤️

This album led to the epic 2nd album. Evolution sometimes is a messy process. Frustration is part of the creative process... it's not all roses and champagne.

Best B.S. album by far, despite the terrible mix . The mono mix is much better. Neil's remix of it a few years back improved it as much as possible. The original, without For What It's Worth is the best version. FWIW should have been on the next LP. Moby Grape's classic 1st is reminiscent of this album

Neil was a control freak about the Springfield's output. A friend/former co-worker worked at Rhino when they finally put out four disc box set. It took literally years for Rhino to get Neil's approval, and even then he wanted control of the release. So you buy the box, but you do NOT get all the tracks from "Last Time Around" because Neil had quit the band -again - and decided those tracks were not 'real' Springfield material. Right. Thanks Neil for another disservice to the fans. There was a bootleg "Stampede" that supposedly had tracks with one of Neil's replacements, Doug Hastings (previously with the Daily Flash and afterwards Rhinoceros). And I believe that when the Springfield played Monterey Neil had quit the band (for the first time?) and David Crosby appeared with Springfield.

Great episode. I had thought of that album as the "For What Its Worth" album for so long I had no idea that song was not on the original release. That song was the first song that I noticed as a kid using natural harmonics on the guitar (unison with the chords) outside of jazz and classical guitar. Do you have any idea if that technique had been recorded before?

@popgoesthe60s52

3 жыл бұрын

The first song that comes to mind is George Harrison's solo on Nowhere Man, where he hits the harmonic as the closing note, though that's the only harmonic in the solo. I can't think on any that are exclusively harmonics in pop or rock at that time.

@@popgoesthe60s52 Good catch. I wonder where Harrison got the idea. The jazz guitarist Lenny Breau attributed that technique to Chet Atkins. But then Chet attributes it to Django Reinhart. I don't know if Steve Howe from Yes got it from those guys or the Brazilian classical composer Heitor Villa-Lobos where I suspect he got that movable chord technique that he used in Wurm.

Re: publishing money, it's too bad they didn't release Sit Down as a single even if Stills had sold the rights as it could have spurred interest in the LP and follow-up singles to which the band did hold the rights.

Jason Berger it took a while for Young to really establish himself as a star. Harvest did it for him. Up til then, Stills was the bigger star in terms of sales and hits. I wish the band had recorded Sugar Mountain. There is a 1965 demo of it.

Neil was sufficiently underwhelmed by his vocals that on his first solo album he mixed his vocals down quite a bit. I bought the album when it came out and eard it that way. Years later, a housemate had the remixed version with the vocals mixed back up front, and almost did not recognize it.

listening to this album after watching this video and boy this is a hard listen. I'll agree that this isn't that great of an album. I play on listening to their second album next, I anticipate that I'll like it better, lol.

Neil Young’s voice wasn’t commercial enough. Great observation. Personally I put Young in the same category as Bob Dylan in that they are both fantastic song writers but their singing voices are not their greatest asset. People I know either love or hate them. I’m middle of the road, some songs only they can pull off and sounds wrong when covered by others. Some songs are finger nails on a chalkboard to me. They have earned their spot in music history and deservedly so. But now and then I have to skip a track.

Great Review , this album didn't age well , the writing over all was thin , considering the mass collection of talent in this Band , the production was just awful...
