I was 13 when I first heard this song, courtesy of my older brothers album of Buffalo Springfield. It's been one of my most favorite songs of Neil Young, after so many more of his songs. I still listen to this and love it, and I'm 65 now. Wow, where does time go?
Yes Mr Soul sounds like Satisfaction but Neil would develop his own sound and a great song writer Stills was a OK song writer and a better lead guitar player then Neil.Neil was a better musician in my opinion, keyboard, acoustic guitar and electric guitar.In CSN&Y was better with Young I thought,but he got the nickname Shacky because Neil wanted to do what Neil wanted to do.He preferred to be a solo act.Seen him many times solo.Went to MSG for Bob Dylan's 30 year reunion show and Neil stole the show with All Along The Watch Tower,great night
Love that he is strutting across the stage!!!!!! This is awesome!!!! After all these years - as of this video - I am officially in love with Stephen Stills.
Neil...one of the most unique voices in pop music for sure. Stills is a riot in this....love those shuffling dance moves! Such great stuff. Tremendously talented band.
I'm not so excited about Stills' jumping around. It's almost like he doesn't want to lose relevance. The song exemplifies the change from folksy Buffalo Springfield to harder rock.
@@user-if9qu7zt8h Have to wonder, just long will this stuff play? 50 years from now? 200? Same for much of the music of these great bands of that amazing time.
Actually, FWIW is not political at all. It's about the Sunset Strip Curfew Riots. The local businesses on the Strip didn't like the influx of rowdy music fans attending shows at the Whiskey-a-Go-Go and convinced the city council to impose a curfew. Stills witnessed the riots. Sorry to rain on your parade.
@@mr.blackhawk142 if you don't realize Neil is doing alot more than that having "acid flashbacks" I don't know what to tell you, look who made better music as a solo artist. granted, I am a fan of steven as well, but he is the george harrison of buffalo spring field and Neil is Lennon McCartney by comparison. Yes, GH wrote good songs also.
Chords are close to Satifaction, song though is just as great. I think several of Neil young's songs with Buffalo Springfield including this are as great as anything he ever did. He certainly Jammed more on Cowgirl In The sand & Down By The River, etc, but you can't write better songs than Expecting To Fly,Broken Arrow,Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing...
@@bob4analog Their bassist had gotten busted at the Canadian border with some weed, and couldn't come into the Country at that time, so they had a fill in, that many people speculate is Glenn Campbell, play in the dark with his back to the audience as a sort of protest.
@@GRequinBlanc Yeah really, aren't ppl seeing that this is the studio recordings played with lip synching and fake playing. Steven even sings without being at the mic for a couple seconds. Great acting performance though, fun to watch them in their youth.
RIP the two members of Buffalo Springfield Dewey Martin (September 30, 1940 - January 31, 2009), aged 68 Bruce Palmer (September 9, 1946 - October 1, 2004), aged 58 You both will always be remembered as legends.
Kevin S, did you notice Stills was aware of camera position and made a point to be in every shot. He knew the focus was going to be on Neil, so he shimmied his way into every shot. This song is INTOXICATING, guitar solo makes me want to take my clothes off and dance on a table. Stellar song!
You prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me
Joe Kennedy, Me too, came here discovered this song on "Echoes in the Canyon" Netflix. My word their music is INTOXICATING!! I like the way this song changes melodies 3 times when Neil does guitar solo. What is that called when melodies change several times ?? Led Zepplin does it in a few of their songs. That guitar solo makes me want to take my clothes off and dance on a table. Quarentine 2020
@@cindyland6273 I could play that solo for you all day long if you'd like :) It's a very Byrds-like solo. I'm not sure what the changing melodies would be called, but it was becoming more common at the time and Zeppelin certainly mastered it.
This is THE moment my life changed forever. This was the first time I laid eyes on Neil. I was 12 yrs old that summer. I had heard the song on the radio and loved it from the first note. I still get the same exact feeling when I hear those first 2 notes of For What It's Worth, even to this day, 55yrs later. I knew from commercials that Buffalo Springfield were going to be on this show and I was READY! Sitting on the floor, inches from the TV, I saw the band that did my favorite song. I LOVED them instantly! I devoured every second of the performance but then, my focus centered on Neil. I got up on my knees, my nose almost touching the TV screen and put my hand on Neil's face when they did a closeup. As I touched his face, I said out loud, to no one in particular, "I'm going to marry him someday". It just came out of my mouth. No planning. Didn't have a clue why I said it. But I knew I would love this man for the rest of my life. It was just something I " knew", and I was right. It's been 55 yrs and counting and I STILL love Neil more than any other man on this earth, more than my own life. I'd trade 5 yrs of my life for 5 minutes alone with this man. Honest to GOD, I would!! Yep. The moment I saw this on TV was the moment my life changed forever. It's been Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young ever after. I think I have the most complete collection of all their music, books, dvds, cds, albums, magazine articles, taped interviews and performances, movies, autographs, photos and anything I could find about them. I've been called " that girl who LOVES CSN and Y" since 1973 by everyone who knows me. Yup. 2 minutes and 38 seconds that changed my whole life. And I love it! These 4 men filled my world with the most incredible, God given talent in the universe. I feel very, very lucky to have been so blessed.
@@jamesf7867 It was. Sound City was ground zero for the hits that marked my teens and twenties more than any other. Pretty cool for a place that smelled like old beer, cigs and piss! I've actually been there and it is indeed disgusting!
Jude, wow. I was born in 1950, 13 when John Kennedy left us and 2+ months older when The Beatles came and set our path in motion. By the time the Springfield arrived, we, including you and I, were beyond receptive. The giving and receiving were one in the same. They knew that. They knew, when they played and enhanced the changes we were all forging without fear or pretense, that we were all one in the same. Amen to you, Jude. 🤎
I had ordered the song "For What It's Worth" when I first heard it on the radio, I was stationed then at Little Rock AFB. I got a TDY order for Japan for a month, while I was stationed there the record showed up at Little Rock AFB where they saw that I was TDY and sent it to Japan "general delivery", I was gone when it arrived. When I got back to Little Rock AFB I had a set of orders to go to Guam for 18 months, I packed my belongings and sent them home to Texas and put my military gear in my duffel bag and I was off for Guam. The record eventually made it back to Little Rock AFB where it stayed for a few weeks until they figured out I was now in Guam. The little record (a 45 rpm) found me in Guam but my record player was in Texas, I borrowed a record player from a friend and played the shit out of that little record. I still have that little record. Funny how music can be your best friend at times, I'm 75 now and you know what, I'm going to go on the internet right now and hear it again for what ever that's worth.
@@williammurray8060 I don't know exactly what the letters stand for, but it basically means 'Temporary Duty'. In other words, a temporary assignment somewhere.
I was hanging around "The Fifth Estate," a Beatnik/Hippie cafe on Sunset Blvd., and its owner, Al Mitchell, asked me to write a leaflet about curfew restrictions. I did, and a demonstration happened down the block on Sunset Blvd. That resulted in "For What It's Worth." In those days I was writing for and editing The Open City. I wrote an article about Phil Spector after attending a meeting at Cantor's where his words resonated with me. It may have been the only positive article ever written about him. So, he offered me a job writing "flak" for him. At his home, I met Derek Taylor and we became friends. When Brian Epstein died he managed the Beatles for a short time and asked me to come to London to put out a sort of Multi-Media Magazine called "Apple." Of course, when they went bankrupt that job and project ended. In between those two periods of my life the six day war broke out. I immediately left for Israel and got picked up by military intelligence. It was while lying in Tel Hashomer hospital with injuries that Taylor tracked me down, asked me to come to London. I asked for a medical discharge, got it, and that was the end of my formal military career. I did come back, years later, an experienced pilot with security clearances - to fly as a civilian for the IAF, mostly in East Africa. Now I'm 73 and making aircraft parts. What an evolution from the kid who was an AFSC counselor and Pacifist!
I think this is the version from the Journey Through the Past double album, my first exposure to these songs. I can never hear For What It's Worth without anticipating Mr Soul crashing in.
The following generations just don't UNDERSTAND. WE STOPPED A WAR!!! WE ARE TRYING to get the rest of you to start FIGHTING FOR YOUR FREEDOM NOW!!! THE BATTLE NEVER CEASED!!!
Not sure if you stopped a war. I went to that war in 69 and while in VN we jammed to that music. As military we did what we were ordered to do. Some of my friends did not come home alive. I am very proud of my military friends and we had the best music
Rock and roll never dies. Just goes on hiatus. There are Alot of good bands out there, they're just not getting the recognition today. It's like a wave crashing into the shore. There will be another one coming soon.
There's still good stuff coming coming out. But U are right keep. Search online. I know not much like this anymore well nothing like this. Change things up like me try some indie rock. Try everything in because music WILL soothe Ur soul.
I'm sure there is, but I get what your saying. You rarely get to see good music on the TV or radio nowadays. Of course that's all by design, you can't dumb people down by playing intelligent music with lyrics that make you think. Better stick on some Cardi B instead.
If I'm not mistaken, this was done live on tv. Neil is obviously playing a different solo from the recorded version. Looks like Bruce Palmer was really playing bass too. Incredible.
@@jamesfernandez3772 They're lip-synching. Both songs' vocals are identical to their recorded versions. I would guess the alternative solo was recorded to seem improvved.
I remember this. Dad called them “long haired creeps.” I loved them and Dad waited for Dean Martin or .......somebody. Hollywood Palace was watched every week in our house. We kept watching.
I remember seeing this too, back in the day. For some reason I thought it was Shindig or one of those other 'bopper' shows. Time vs memory. Still love it tho.
That was my 'era' . . . Buffalo Springfield, POCO . . . Stephen Still was in a class of his own, and I still listen to one of his solo albums . . . but, now when I see a twenty-something with a 'man-bun' I give the kid crap about it. Is he a girl with a bun? Why does he have to copy some idiot who started a stupid, girly trend . . . I shamed one guy to quit it. Job done. Or, shaving your head . . . ummm, done in the past not to look cool, but to get rid of lice.
For What It's Worth was a great song, wonderful lyrics by Stills, and an anthem for my generation. But look at what happens when Neil Young gets up and takes over with Mr. Soul. Watch how the rest of the group suddenly comes alive and goes into overdrive - especially Stills. And then tell me who had the real vision for the group.
Just amazing that Tony Martin doesn't realize that Stills and Young were/are serious people doing two serious songs. He is still from the old school about come on kids let's put on a show pop mentality. True change of the guard
Fantastic Buffalo Springfield songs. 1967 and all that meant. Stephen Stills with his great voice. Neil Young playing his Harmony hollowbody with those growly Gibson P-13 pickups made this video sink in deep. Such great talent and new sound. I was lucky to see them in 1966 at the Overlake Roller Rink in Bellevue, WA. Thanks guys. Still a big fan.
I bought Buffalo Springfield "Retrospective" in 1968 in a department store in Mexico City. There was some wonderful and very unique music on that album, my favorite I guess (though I really loved 'Mr. Soul') was 'Expecting To Fly'. I was totally astounded by the full range of emotions that song brought out in me when I listened to it - elation and extreme melancholy both at the same time! Magical. "There I stood on the edge of a feather..."
Uno de los mejores guitarristas neil young yo tenía 8 años y ya escuchaba la radio musical y todo mis hermanos. Escuchen griffin cslling you o love signed dc tesducido
According to Wikipedia, the co-hosts for this broadcast of The Hollywood Palace were Tony Martin (an old-time singer) and his beautiful young wife, Cyd Charisse: a dancer in Hollywood musicals. I'd bet money this episode of "Hollywood Palace" inspired the cornball variety show host at the end of "That Thing You Do." Trivia: Cyd Charisse was the aunt of Nana Visitor, who played Commander Kira on Star Trek: DS9
Dont be so sure. It sounds like the studio version and while I give them props for being plugged into the amp I dont see any power cords going to those amps.
Such a sharp contrast of culture. The host, like Guy Smiley from Sesame Street, and the screaming fans don't sound much more than 12 years old. To the young "magicians" on stage who produce a sound and a lyric that is so stirring it sounds like it is coming from a wise old voice telling an ancient tale. Just incredible. Thank you Neil Young, Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin , Stephen Stills and Richie Furay.
This was such a moment for my generation and Steven Stills voice became important, along with FRINGE. Still there was a touch of conservatism with the suit and tie on the drummer! Hollywood Palace was an important show and Saturday at 9-10pm features lots of stars who would become our (baby boomer) icons
I thought I was a Neil Young fan, I just discovered this last night it has totally blown my socks off!! It leaves most of the other music I listen to for dead it's almost as old as me, these boys really could play live and they had fun doing it utterly fantastic and infectious LOVE IT !!
it's a shame that rock musicians of that period of time had to pantomime their recorded songs to be allowed on television. It is most evident in the drummer. Neil Young and Steven Stills are SO young in this. Thanks for posting.
@HH That's interesting. I'd never considered the technical limitations. This version of the song is different from the one on the album. Would they have prerecorded it just for this performance?
This is one of my all time favourite songs.,, I remember the first time I heard it. I was about 8 years old,and he brought me the 45 RPM . I wish I still had it. 😢My cousin lived in Flint Michigan at the time& he always had music that I hadn't heard in Tennessee yet. Ive loved rock& psychedelic rock music , since then. My uncle was a body guard at Cobo Hall in Detroit,,in the 1970,s They also knew Mark Farner& the guys from grand funk Railroad. They were also from Flint, Much.,. & he saw all the great rock bands that preformed there. My cousin& uncle always brought me the best music when they came here for summer vacation & Christmas. Most of the 8-tracks didn't last long, but I still have some of my albums. I was so lucky to grow up in the 60,s& 70,s.
It wasn't off script: this is lip-synced, so it was planned & orchestrated. Tip-offs that it wasn't live: 1. sounds _exactly_ like the recorded versions, note for note. 2. when they stop playing (e.g. when Stills starts clapping), there aren't any guitars dropping out of the mix. 3. at the end of Mr Soul, there are voices in the background, but nobody but Young is singing.
@@atatterson6992go ahead and be mad about your slow decay, the world will move on and leave you namelessly in the dust, just like it does most of everyone else
@@sunkintree "you don't see this magic nowadays" Of course you can if you are the target audience for the contemporary music.It's just tiresome listening to each generation claiming their music was uniquely special.
Can't believe I never saw these guys back in the day in San Francisco. I saw a Buffalo Springfield steam roller in the city once, but have since lost the pic.
Great performances at the Hollywood Palace!! The Buffalo Springfield are great here!! This show was right up there with the Ed Sullivan and Smothers Brothers shows when it came to introducing great musicians!! I like the way the emcee here mentioned the band’s talent and wealth, since for better or worse or indifferent, both the guy introducing them and the band were in business of show business!! The legendary Jimmy Durante introduced the Grass Roots; at the time, Durante was 75, with 50 years in the business, while the lead singer of the band, Rob Grill was either 20 or 23 years old at the time.. No evidence of a “generation gap’’ on that on that show!!!
Actually there is 3 musical geniuses on stage. The rhythm guitarist Richie Furay founded the band Poco and pretty much invented the Country Rock sound that made the Eagles billionaires. Glenn Frey even admitted to Richie, who was in the audience at an Eagles concert, “If it wasnt for you, we wouldn't be here.“ Two former Poco bassists, Randy Meisner and Timothy B Schmit, were, of course, Eagles.
A huge amen to including Furay in the lists of geniuses in this band. Also, Jim Messina came on board as a replacement bassist. He was also co-founder of Poco, a great writer and guitarist, and a successful producer who produced and played on Kenny Loggins’ first album leading to, of course, Loggins & Messina. I would put Messina in the genius category too.
Buffalo Springfield was one of the pioneer bands that didn't hire studio musicians like The Wrecking Crew to record their albums. These guys were totally competent musicians all on their own. Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane same story.
I remember when one singer /songwriter could be on stage with just a guitar and their songs and fill stadiums. James Taylor, Melanie Safka, Bob Denver, and Cat Stevens to name a few
The list of people the Rolling Stones used and ripped off is far too long to publish here. Just look at what they did to Ry Cooder. And what about all the American black musicians whose songs the Stones just plain copied? There are many original acts who played their own music but the Stones are not one of them.
Great camera work. I didn't know that they had such great live chemistry. I could easily watch a full show of them parading around on stage rocking out.
The whole band had Majic. Awesome stage presence. They were passionate. Beautiful talented men. Neil young was geourg eous He can do both fast and soft music and perform beautifully. He seems happy and comfortable doing both. I never saw him in his energetic performances and always thought he was reserved but he’s amazing and makes it look easy and still looks smooth and laid back but with great energy even If he’s rockin it. He’s in his element. Beautiful
Saw these guys in Hartford Connecticut in 1967. Absolutely amazing live and became a big fan. There was a rumor there was a 4th album but atco label didn’t release it because the Springfield were no more.
Now THIS is what rock-n-roll is all about..... The dance moves and hand-claps with a strong beat that even the band is feeling the groove and having plenty of fun doing this number.😎😎
Saw CSNY years ago. I remember Steve Stills saying, "Neil Young is the song writer". So true. And ya, it was years ago. I'm 70 now. Listened to lots of rock in my time. From the Beatles on Ed Sullivan Feb/64 up to today! Changed my life for the better. First time I heard Zeppelin in 69, in a word, WTF! Where did these dudes come from. Wow!! Same with Hendrix, Doors, Big Brother, Airplane, the list goes on and on.
my band would play "For What It's Worth" all through the 90s and beyond. And we would have a contest--the person who could guess the name of the song would win a free drink. In 10 years, we had like 1 winner...and he was our old roady.
Oh I'm so glad I'm old LOL. I remember seeing this when it was on. When music was actually exciting. And a new album coming out was considered a big event. Maybe the yunginz still feel that way but I don't know, that's my music.
I have noticed that the enthusiasm and the passion we found in music back in the sixties is not present in the youth of the last 25 years. I wonder if part of that has to do with how they listen to music. They put on ear buds to listen by themselves; we put a record on the turntable to listen by ourselves but also with our friends and girl friends. When a band we followed put out a new album, we would bring it home and listen to the entire album at least once but sometimes twice if it was one of our favorites like the Beatles, the Animals, or CCR.
@@templeman4 that's because the music today is basically free and easily available. In the old days bands used to tour to support the albums. Now they tour because that's where the money is. I've been to many live music events over the last 25 years and the younger people are just as enthusiastic today as they were 50 years ago when I was a teenager.
Legend has it that you are seeing the back of Springfield's road manager, Dickie Davis, who had to fill in for Palmer due to the latter's drug bust and subsequent deportation back to Canada. The reason he had his back to the camera was to hide the fact that he couldn't play, as well as the possibility that it was also a gesture/show of solidarity by the band to call attention to the plight of their missing bandmate.
That's funny because it's more conspicuous to have the bass player sitting practically in the audience like that rather than just not having a bass player on stage at all.
Ooooook. Psychedelics are very beneficial when it comes to understanding music. If someone had enough lsd and an hour and a half for it to kick in I guarantee they could come up with a simple bass line that would fit with the groove...
I saw Stephen Stills in high school. A few girlfriends & I had no tickets 2 a sold out show but we were very determined. It was a big stadium & one of the nicest security guards let us in & we had a great time. That was in the 70’s. Don’t think that would happen 2day.
This video clip changed my life the songs musicianship and the excitement Stills & Young are music genius's and even to this day I get blown away at how incredible they really are, stills is an acoustic guitar playing GOD!!!!
Some time back in the late 1980s or early 1990s, I was heading down I-85 on my way to Atlanta. I passed what looked like an older Greyhound bus, and when I got a good look at it, there was a wooden sign on the back that said 'Buffalo Springfield'. I had to stop and get gas, but a little while after I got back on the highway, I passed it again. When I got into Atlanta, I picked up a copy of 'Creative Loafing' and saw that Neil Young was playing in town that night.
He's more like a studio prop. Nobody is actually playing here. Maybe I should rephrase that. This is not a true live recording. They're mimicking and lip syncing.
Michael Boykin The guitars weren’t even plugged in. The bassist could have been a volunteer from the audience who had never picked up a guitar in his life. Strange how when it was over, the host only shook hands with the “unknown bassist”.
In 1977, I was in 2nd grade. My music teacher, Mrs. Allbight, played "For what it's Worth" to us. Said it was her favorite song. Then came "Mr. Soul" Blown Away! A decade later, I saw Niel Young on LSD. I then knew what Mrs. Allbright was talking about! He influenced the music of my generation, by that, I mean Grunge. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, AIC, etc. Thank you Mrs. Allbright!
No word of a lie, I heard this song playing in a grocery store last year and almost crashed my cart. I thought to myself, after looking around - I have to be the only person in here who recognizes this amazing tune.
I would have recognized both Stephen or Neil immediately also!
Be safe driving those...grocery carts!
Maybe you were the only person there who hadn’t heard it before.
I loved your comment ❤

Stephen Stills said he wanted the band to be The Beatles, but Neil Young wanted to be Bob Dylan. This song showed that they could be both.
For What Its Worth - Bob Dylan
Mr. Soul - Beatles
@@sakurachannel9624 I'd say there's considerably more Stones than Beatles in Mr. Soul.

Bruce Palmer (September 9, 1946 - October 1, 2004), aged 58
You both will always be remembered as legends.
I hate that the corporations got greedy hands on our music. Say goodbye to the honesty and art that made the music so good
Bruce made a great solo album, sort of moodish acoustic I loved to drift off to late at night
@@timothymathewson8094look into the folks who are the owners of these big publishing houses
Steven stills is by far the most underrated musician ever. Cool dude and nice footstepping in the video.
@kevin s. Totally agree! Stills moves were very cool 😎 . Anybody know the name of the show and who that host was ?
Kevin S, did you notice Stills was aware of camera position and made a point to be in every shot. He knew the focus was going to be on Neil, so he shimmied his way into every shot. This song is INTOXICATING, guitar solo makes me want to take my clothes off and dance on a table. Stellar song!
@@cindyland6273 do what you gotta do Cindy 😉
I'd maybe give that title (Most Underrated) to Stephen's bandmate Richie Furay who got nary a mention in any of these comments.
@@matthewbudzinski8320 Love Richie
I just love that last line: "Is it strange I should change? I don't know. Why don't you ask her?". It just gets to me.
FUCKING CLASSIC, I got chills when they kicked into ' Mr Soul '.
Sadly, none of the audio is live, God knows what it actually sounded like, but I can tell these are both the studio versions merged together
Except for that weird short solo Neil did
@@Jordan-rb28 not sure, I think the vocals are live
You prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my login password. I would love any assistance you can offer me

The stills shuffle is just fabulous
It certainly is, mesmerising
IKR Really dig it! Could do with some of it at St Andrews lol

@@pencilpauli9442 KRO.👍
Long before Axl imitated it.
I could watch Stephen Still's footwork and Neil's face with his burns forever.
Me too!
yes!
Joe Kennedy, Me too, came here discovered this song on "Echoes in the Canyon" Netflix. My word their music is INTOXICATING!! I like the way this song changes melodies 3 times when Neil does guitar solo. What is that called when melodies change several times ?? Led Zepplin does it in a few of their songs. That guitar solo makes me want to take my clothes off and dance on a table. Quarentine 2020
@@cindyland6273 I could play that solo for you all day long if you'd like :) It's a very Byrds-like solo. I'm not sure what the changing melodies would be called, but it was becoming more common at the time and Zeppelin certainly mastered it.
Stephen Stills' cowboy hat and suit and boots absolutely slay me!
IMO, this was the greatest Segway into a song ever...
Isn't it amazing? It's almost like they were saying, "Hi, welcome to the 70's".
@@tdsims1963 segue - A Segway is an electric cart
The word is segue'.
BLECH, it was awful.
So "lopezmt", you're saying they were riding the two-wheeled Segway when they wrote the segue in the show? Interesting.
This is THE moment my life changed forever. This was the first time I laid eyes on Neil. I was 12 yrs old that summer. I had heard the song on the radio and loved it from the first note. I still get the same exact feeling when I hear those first 2 notes of For What It's Worth, even to this day, 55yrs later. I knew from commercials that Buffalo Springfield were going to be on this show and I was READY! Sitting on the floor, inches from the TV, I saw the band that did my favorite song. I LOVED them instantly! I devoured every second of the performance but then, my focus centered on Neil. I got up on my knees, my nose almost touching the TV screen and put my hand on Neil's face when they did a closeup. As I touched his face, I said out loud, to no one in particular, "I'm going to marry him someday". It just came out of my mouth. No planning. Didn't have a clue why I said it. But I knew I would love this man for the rest of my life. It was just something I " knew", and I was right. It's been 55 yrs and counting and I STILL love Neil more than any other man on this earth, more than my own life. I'd trade 5 yrs of my life for 5 minutes alone with this man. Honest to GOD, I would!! Yep. The moment I saw this on TV was the moment my life changed forever. It's been Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young ever after. I think I have the most complete collection of all their music, books, dvds, cds, albums, magazine articles, taped interviews and performances, movies, autographs, photos and anything I could find about them. I've been called " that girl who LOVES CSN and Y" since 1973 by everyone who knows me. Yup. 2 minutes and 38 seconds that changed my whole life. And I love it! These 4 men filled my world with the most incredible, God given talent in the universe. I feel very, very lucky to have been so blessed.
Neil has a cool interview in the documentary 'Sound City' you should check out
@@blondegirlsezthis8798 that is a really good documentary that spanned a few musical genres. I was moved by Rick Springfields emotional story..
@@jamesf7867 It was. Sound City was ground zero for the hits that marked my teens and twenties more than any other. Pretty cool for a place that smelled like old beer, cigs and piss! I've actually been there and it is indeed disgusting!
@@blondegirlsezthis8798 "Sound City was ground zero for the hits that marked my teens and twenties more than any other." same here.
Jude, wow. I was born in 1950, 13 when John Kennedy left us and 2+ months older when The Beatles came and set our path in motion. By the time the Springfield arrived, we, including you and I, were beyond receptive. The giving and receiving were one in the same. They knew that. They knew, when they played and enhanced the changes we were all forging without fear or pretense, that we were all one in the same. Amen to you, Jude. 🤎
I had ordered the song "For What It's Worth" when I first heard it on the radio, I was stationed then at Little Rock AFB. I got a TDY order for Japan for a month, while I was stationed there the record showed up at Little Rock AFB where they saw that I was TDY and sent it to Japan "general delivery", I was gone when it arrived. When I got back to Little Rock AFB I had a set of orders to go to Guam for 18 months, I packed my belongings and sent them home to Texas and put my military gear in my duffel bag and I was off for Guam. The record eventually made it back to Little Rock AFB where it stayed for a few weeks until they figured out I was now in Guam. The little record (a 45 rpm) found me in Guam but my record player was in Texas, I borrowed a record player from a friend and played the shit out of that little record. I still have that little record. Funny how music can be your best friend at times, I'm 75 now and you know what, I'm going to go on the internet right now and hear it again for what ever that's worth.
keep the faith
Why it's worth all of Buffalo and half of Springfield, lol!
Nice story, what isTDY?
@@williammurray8060
I don't know exactly what the letters stand for, but it basically means 'Temporary Duty'.
In other words, a temporary assignment somewhere.
I was hanging around "The Fifth Estate," a Beatnik/Hippie cafe on Sunset Blvd., and its owner, Al Mitchell, asked me to write a leaflet about curfew restrictions. I did, and a demonstration happened down the block on Sunset Blvd. That resulted in "For What It's Worth." In those days I was writing for and editing The Open City. I wrote an article about Phil Spector after attending a meeting at Cantor's where his words resonated with me. It may have been the only positive article ever written about him. So, he offered me a job writing "flak" for him. At his home, I met Derek Taylor and we became friends. When Brian Epstein died he managed the Beatles for a short time and asked me to come to London to put out a sort of Multi-Media Magazine called "Apple." Of course, when they went bankrupt that job and project ended. In between those two periods of my life the six day war broke out. I immediately left for Israel and got picked up by military intelligence. It was while lying in Tel Hashomer hospital with injuries that Taylor tracked me down, asked me to come to London. I asked for a medical discharge, got it, and that was the end of my formal military career. I did come back, years later, an experienced pilot with security clearances - to fly as a civilian for the IAF, mostly in East Africa. Now I'm 73 and making aircraft parts. What an evolution from the kid who was an AFSC counselor and Pacifist!
Oh yeah! The moment it changes to Mr. Soul yeeehaaaaa a 💥🎸🎶❤️😎
I think this is the version from the Journey Through the Past double album, my first exposure to these songs. I can never hear For What It's Worth without anticipating Mr Soul crashing in.
@@Dermot2927 It crashes in kind of early. Would have like to have heard more of FWIW.
Hell ya
I feel SO fortunate to have grown up in this era!!! ✌️
The following generations just don't UNDERSTAND. WE STOPPED A WAR!!! WE ARE TRYING to get the rest of you to start FIGHTING FOR YOUR FREEDOM NOW!!! THE BATTLE NEVER CEASED!!!
Not sure if you stopped a war. I went to that war in 69 and while in VN we jammed to that music. As military we did what we were ordered to do. Some of my friends did not come home alive. I am very proud of my military friends and we had the best music
You ARE fortunate ... greatest music era ... I remember seeing this show on TV ... liked this song and lyrics from the jump.
Steven stills,had a guest spot on Bonanza,that day.Oh' so did Neil..That was very good episode..I liked to see it again...
Wow I never knew that, very cool!!
@@Lisa-pl6gv That was a joke because of their Western attire.
They were on Mannix in 1967, never on Bonanza.
There is nothing like this nowadays. Very sad.
Rock and roll never dies. Just goes on hiatus. There are Alot of good bands out there, they're just not getting the recognition today. It's like a wave crashing into the shore. There will be another one coming soon.
Nonsense. You just have to look in different places.
Exhibit A:
Tedeschi Trucks Band
There's still good stuff coming coming out. But U are right keep. Search online. I know not much like this anymore well nothing like this. Change things up like me try some indie rock. Try everything in because music WILL soothe Ur soul.
Oh hello mister soul .oh I Love this
I'm sure there is, but I get what your saying. You rarely get to see good music on the TV or radio nowadays. Of course that's all by design, you can't dumb people down by playing intelligent music with lyrics that make you think. Better stick on some Cardi B instead.
Freaking good from both singers. This is why I really love 60-70s music.
I still don’t know who sings the backing vocals. I know Neil sings the lead vocals, but I’m not sure if it’s Stephen singing the backing vocals
If I'm not mistaken, this was done live on tv. Neil is obviously playing a different solo from the recorded version. Looks like Bruce Palmer was really playing bass too. Incredible.
Amo los 60y70s
@@jamesfernandez3772 They're lip-synching. Both songs' vocals are identical to their recorded versions. I would guess the alternative solo was recorded to seem improvved.
@@jamesfernandez3772 - That’s not Bruce Palmer. He’d been deported to Canada when this was shot.
I remember this. Dad called them “long haired creeps.” I loved them and Dad waited for Dean Martin or .......somebody. Hollywood Palace was watched every week in our house. We kept watching.
Lol , My Dad called it narcotic music ! I sure do miss him .
Long-haired Bums" to my dad.
I remember seeing this too, back in the day. For some reason I thought it was Shindig or one of those other 'bopper' shows. Time vs memory. Still love it tho.
That was my 'era' . . . Buffalo Springfield, POCO . . . Stephen Still was in a class of his own, and I still listen to one of his solo albums . . . but, now when I see a twenty-something with a 'man-bun' I give the kid crap about it. Is he a girl with a bun? Why does he have to copy some idiot who started a stupid, girly trend . . . I shamed one guy to quit it. Job done. Or, shaving your head . . . ummm, done in the past not to look cool, but to get rid of lice.
@@kcsunshine6122 My brother used to call me 'The Hippie Dippie Weatherman.'
Wow, the tone on Neil’s guitar blows everything away. Great transition between For What It’s Worth and Mr. Soul.
He soon switched to a Les Paul, which has a richer tone and is the same guitar he uses today.
"Stick around while a clown that is sick does a trick of disaster" is likely the single greatest line-just 1 line- of any song, any time.
Totally agree 👍👏
Totally spot on especially for today.
the phase Reminds of a DemoRAT 😂
Heck yeah, I always said the same thing 😎👍
@@dash-qe3ulWhy are you all a bunch of illiterates?
Mr Soul is in a class by itself and these rock legends put any modern day artist to shame.
What "artists?"
@TheMaidofMiddleEarth i think he (she) meant they are not really artists. not like we are used to anyway.
Artists are at least 52/75 yrs old today.. These kids have to re-hash our shit. I dont feel sorry for em. 🤘
@cmtcarla main No one is condemning, and comparing.They are stating what music they like.
epitome of 60s fuzz psych encapsulated right here. Can't get much more soul and psych infused into a guitar solo...man
So much talent it hurts.....
Neil Young steals the show with " Mr. Soul" such great guitar playing
Absolutely
For What It's Worth was a great song, wonderful lyrics by Stills, and an anthem for my generation. But look at what happens when Neil Young gets up and takes over with Mr. Soul. Watch how the rest of the group suddenly comes alive and goes into overdrive - especially Stills. And then tell me who had the real vision for the group.
NEIL YOUG
i still love 'for what its worth'
🎶🎶🇺🇲🎶🎶
It's lip-synced .... the two songs are spliced together. Sheesh.
they get up and move for Mr Soul mostly because it is more upbeat
Just amazing that Tony Martin doesn't realize that Stills and Young were/are serious people doing two serious songs. He is still from the old school about come on kids let's put on a show pop mentality. True change of the guard
The "generation gap" is definitely on display here.
Fantastic Buffalo Springfield songs. 1967 and all that meant. Stephen Stills with his great voice. Neil Young playing his Harmony hollowbody with those growly Gibson P-13 pickups made this video sink in deep. Such great talent and new sound. I was lucky to see them in 1966 at the Overlake Roller Rink in Bellevue, WA. Thanks guys. Still a big fan.
Harmony was quite a popular brand back then. They made one very famous bass too, the H22, famously used by the Small Faces and Spencer Davis Group.
Miss real music like this. Grew up in the 60's and. 70',s amazing times.
The very definition of a Supergroup. Incredible collection of talent.
🤣JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS!!!
most underachieving group.. but youre right..they were great
People forget about Richie Furay. Poco was a great band.
I bought Buffalo Springfield "Retrospective" in 1968 in a department store in Mexico City. There was some wonderful and very unique music on that album, my favorite I guess (though I really loved 'Mr. Soul') was 'Expecting To Fly'. I was totally astounded by the full range of emotions that song brought out in me when I listened to it - elation and extreme melancholy both at the same time! Magical. "There I stood on the edge of a feather..."
Uno de los mejores guitarristas neil young yo tenía 8 años y ya escuchaba la radio musical y todo mis hermanos. Escuchen griffin cslling you o love signed dc tesducido
This is so badass! Rock legends right there.
According to Wikipedia, the co-hosts for this broadcast of The Hollywood Palace were Tony Martin (an old-time singer) and his beautiful young wife, Cyd Charisse: a dancer in Hollywood musicals.
I'd bet money this episode of "Hollywood Palace" inspired the cornball variety show host at the end of "That Thing You Do." Trivia: Cyd Charisse was the aunt of Nana Visitor, who played Commander Kira on Star Trek: DS9
Priceless. Just them. No bells and whistles. Times were simpler and when huge talent was humble.
Dont be so sure. It sounds like the studio version and while I give them props for being plugged into the amp I dont see any power cords going to those amps.
Its lip synched
Watch neils expression at beginning of mr soul
The way he steps up the mic at the beginning is one of the smoothest things I've ever seen a musician do.
They do not write music like this anymore. Greatness...that era of music was so great.
Actually off the chart. One of the best songs ever!
Such a sharp contrast of culture. The host, like Guy Smiley from Sesame Street, and the screaming fans don't sound much more than 12 years old. To the young "magicians" on stage who produce a sound and a lyric that is so stirring it sounds like it is coming from a wise old voice telling an ancient tale. Just incredible. Thank you Neil Young, Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin , Stephen Stills and Richie Furay.
Stephen Stills a musical treasure. He had the moves ❤
I agree. Stephen and his moves
That shuffle by Steven Stills? That sent the message....
This was such a moment for my generation and Steven Stills voice became important, along with FRINGE. Still there was a touch of conservatism with the suit and tie on the drummer! Hollywood Palace was an important show and Saturday at 9-10pm features lots of stars who would become our (baby boomer) icons
For what it's worth and We got to get out of this place, by the Animals,those were the songs we sang Viet-Nam 3/21/68 to 3/21/69,
1967 - the year of my H.S. graduation.... and these guys were blowin' the lid off of rock music!
I thought I was a Neil Young fan, I just discovered this last night it has totally blown my socks off!! It leaves most of the other music I listen to for dead it's almost as old as me, these boys really could play live and they had fun doing it utterly fantastic and infectious LOVE IT !!
Same here ! Just discovered this and it blows me away. I can stop watching the transition from the first song to Mr. Soul
All they're records were and are still amazing but just for the record this was a lip sync performance
When Neil takes the mic, a great performance turns completely awesome.

Way before my time...but discovered this and WOW...what a great tune.
it's a shame that rock musicians of that period of time had to pantomime their recorded songs to be allowed on television. It is most evident in the drummer. Neil Young and Steven Stills are SO young in this. Thanks for posting.
and SO HIGH
So true, they all had to lyp-sync back in those days!!!
@@larrythomas4380 but why ?
@HH That's interesting. I'd never considered the technical limitations. This version of the song is different from the one on the album. Would they have prerecorded it just for this performance?
No power cords going to the amps was a give away.
Love the contrast between the two songs. Mr. Soul is a simple, yet badass song.
This is one of my all time favourite songs.,, I remember the first time I heard it. I was about 8 years old,and he brought me the 45 RPM . I wish I still had it. 😢My cousin lived in Flint Michigan at the time& he always had music that I hadn't heard in Tennessee yet. Ive loved rock& psychedelic rock music , since then. My uncle was a body guard at Cobo Hall in Detroit,,in the 1970,s They also knew
Mark Farner& the guys from grand funk Railroad. They were also from Flint, Much.,. & he saw all the great rock bands that preformed there. My cousin& uncle always brought me the best music when they came here for summer vacation & Christmas. Most of the 8-tracks didn't last long, but I still have some of my albums. I was so lucky to grow up in the 60,s& 70,s.
it was a huge thing to go off of script like that back then, the way they made it sound so perfect is why everyone should appreciate this
It wasn't off script: this is lip-synced, so it was planned & orchestrated. Tip-offs that it wasn't live:
1. sounds _exactly_ like the recorded versions, note for note.
2. when they stop playing (e.g. when Stills starts clapping), there aren't any guitars dropping out of the mix.
3. at the end of Mr Soul, there are voices in the background, but nobody but Young is singing.
it was all pre-recorded and spliced togther...they weren't playing live, just playing along...per Neil. th-cam.com/video/qe53BSXoca0/w-d-xo.html
Incredible footage. The Saturday night light entertainment TV goes weird, off kilter and beautiful. What a truly great outfit they were.

Can't believe I never saw these guys back in the day in San Francisco. I saw a Buffalo Springfield steam roller in the city once, but have since lost the pic.
Great performances at the Hollywood Palace!! The Buffalo Springfield are great here!! This show was right up there with the Ed Sullivan and Smothers Brothers shows when it came to introducing great musicians!! I like the way the emcee here mentioned the band’s talent and wealth, since for better or worse or indifferent, both the guy introducing them and the band were in business of show business!! The legendary Jimmy Durante introduced the Grass Roots; at the time, Durante was 75, with 50 years in the business, while the lead singer of the band, Rob Grill was either 20 or 23 years old at the time.. No evidence of a “generation gap’’ on that on that show!!!

All those beautiful Fender amps! Worth a ton of money today.

The T V announcer is hilarious. Can't believe he got hired. Steven Stills in coat and tie ? One of my all time favorite bands.
2 musical geniuses on the same stage, early on, rockin and in Still's case groovin.
Actually there is 3 musical geniuses on stage. The rhythm guitarist Richie Furay founded the band Poco and pretty much invented the Country Rock sound that made the Eagles billionaires. Glenn Frey even admitted to Richie, who was in the audience at an Eagles concert, “If it wasnt for you, we wouldn't be here.“ Two former Poco bassists, Randy Meisner and Timothy B Schmit, were, of course, Eagles.
A huge amen to including Furay in the lists of geniuses in this band. Also, Jim Messina came on board as a replacement bassist. He was also co-founder of Poco, a great writer and guitarist, and a successful producer who produced and played on Kenny Loggins’ first album leading to, of course, Loggins & Messina. I would put Messina in the genius category too.
Stills, Furay, Young, and Palmer were all geniuses. Dewey brought energy on the drums. No weak links here.
There's more than 2 onstage
Buffalo Springfield was one of the pioneer bands that didn't hire studio musicians like The Wrecking Crew to record their albums. These guys were totally competent musicians all on their own. Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jefferson Airplane same story.
I remember when one singer /songwriter could be on stage with just a guitar and their songs and fill stadiums. James Taylor, Melanie Safka, Bob Denver, and Cat Stevens to name a few
Don Randi of the Wrecking Crew plays on 2 songs on BS again.
.. no glen cambel 🫠
The list of people the Rolling Stones used and ripped off is far too long to publish here. Just look at what they did to Ry Cooder. And what about all the American black musicians whose songs the Stones just plain copied? There are many original acts who played their own music but the Stones are not one of them.
@@thedesignatedoperatorthed.8277 I was trying to point out that they did not rely on studio muscians for recording.
My time and really fabulous music with such passion.
Great camera work. I didn't know that they had such great live chemistry. I could easily watch a full show of them parading around on stage rocking out.
Richie, Stephen and Dewey are locked in and having a blast.
This isn't live.
The whole band had Majic. Awesome stage presence. They were passionate. Beautiful talented men. Neil young was geourg eous He can do both fast and soft music and perform beautifully. He seems happy and comfortable doing both. I never saw him in his energetic performances and always thought he was reserved but he’s amazing and makes it look easy and still looks smooth and laid back but with great energy even If he’s rockin it. He’s in his element. Beautiful
Mr. Soul sounds like classic '70's Neil Young. This song was ahead of its time.
Saw these guys in Hartford Connecticut in 1967. Absolutely amazing live and became a big fan. There was a rumor there was a 4th album but atco label didn’t release it because the Springfield were no more.
I still think after all these years this is Fantastic.
WOW! A perfect bend of the 60`s era all in one tune, and live to boot!
Classic, un duplicated and ORIGINAL!!!
You can`t beat this with a stick.
Not really live. Note no power cord to the amps no microphone cord either. Still a great piece.
Man I love this gig! And to throw mr. soul in there is totally awesome!
Love how much fun they seem to be having with this song love Stephen's energy
This song is a total jam😍 I have listened to it several times. Shared with many people. The guitar in this song is soooooo addictive!😛
Neil young is a jammer😮😍😘Mr. Soul is the best guitar I have heard in a while. I like both of these songs very much😍
Fabulous! I never get tired of listening to this band, the lyrics are smart and the music so well written. This band is the 60's!
Wonderful video! The clothes, the music, the dancing, the memories....
Classic video and song !!
Neil and Stephen were awesome !!..even before CSN&Y....
Now THIS is what rock-n-roll is all about.....
The dance moves and hand-claps with
a strong beat that even the band is
feeling the groove and having plenty of
fun doing this number.😎😎
Correct
Saw CSNY years ago. I remember Steve Stills saying, "Neil Young is the song writer". So true. And ya, it was years ago. I'm 70 now. Listened to lots of rock in my time. From the Beatles on Ed Sullivan Feb/64 up to today! Changed my life for the better. First time I heard Zeppelin in 69, in a word, WTF! Where did these dudes come from. Wow!! Same with Hendrix, Doors, Big Brother, Airplane, the list goes on and on.
If you want to really know, check out David McGowan weird scenes inside the canyon
my band would play "For What It's Worth" all through the 90s and beyond. And we would have a contest--the person who could guess the name of the song would win a free drink. In 10 years, we had like 1 winner...and he was our old roady.
The announcer joking out of touch introduction is so crass, yet 57 years on this music is so in touch .
Very of its time, the feigned spontaneity and corny gags - but I do love the enthusiastic greeting he gives the mystery bass player at the end.
I haven't heard these great old songs in years. Steve and Neil were so young there! Thank you for the live performance clip.
Oh I'm so glad I'm old LOL. I remember seeing this when it was on. When music was actually exciting. And a new album coming out was considered a big event. Maybe the yunginz still feel that way but I don't know, that's my music.
I have noticed that the enthusiasm and the passion we found in music back in the sixties is not present in the youth of the last 25 years. I wonder if part of that has to do with how they listen to music. They put on ear buds to listen by themselves; we put a record on the turntable to listen by ourselves but also with our friends and girl friends. When a band we followed put out a new album, we would bring it home and listen to the entire album at least once but sometimes twice if it was one of our favorites like the Beatles, the Animals, or CCR.
@@templeman4 that's because the music today is basically free and easily available. In the old days bands used to tour to support the albums. Now they tour because that's where the money is. I've been to many live music events over the last 25 years and the younger people are just as enthusiastic today as they were 50 years ago when I was a teenager.
Neil Young always elevates other musicians around him. Incredible talent and career.
Actually all of the other musicians in this band were equal to or better than Neil.
Huh? Stills is the real guitar picker here.
This video is awesome, Young and Still's and Ritchie !!!
Shout out to Richie Furay! Met him years ago in a church in SoCal! Big thrill for me!
Pretendin’ to play. Cool. I love this group, and have for 50 years!
Legend has it that you are seeing the back of Springfield's road manager, Dickie Davis, who had to fill in for Palmer due to the latter's drug bust and subsequent deportation back to Canada. The reason he had his back to the camera was to hide the fact that he couldn't play, as well as the possibility that it was also a gesture/show of solidarity by the band to call attention to the plight of their missing bandmate.
That's funny because it's more conspicuous to have the bass player sitting practically in the audience like that rather than just not having a bass player on stage at all.
With enough LSD anyone can play bass hahaha
Thx for that tidbit!
@@justinfielden2818 um no.
Ooooook. Psychedelics are very beneficial when it comes to understanding music. If someone had enough lsd and an hour and a half for it to kick in I guarantee they could come up with a simple bass line that would fit with the groove...
For Whats It's Worth...a song that defined a generation yesterday and is representative of a generation today.
I saw Stephen Stills in high school. A few girlfriends & I had no tickets 2 a sold out show but we were very determined. It was a big stadium & one of the nicest security guards let us in & we had a great time. That was in the 70’s. Don’t think that would happen 2day.
Absolutely love this tune!❤
This video clip changed my life the songs musicianship and the excitement Stills & Young are music genius's and even to this day I get blown away at how incredible they really are, stills is an acoustic guitar playing GOD!!!!
Some time back in the late 1980s or early 1990s, I was heading down I-85 on my way to Atlanta. I passed what looked like an older Greyhound bus, and when I got a good look at it, there was a wooden sign on the back that said 'Buffalo Springfield'. I had to stop and get gas, but a little while after I got back on the highway, I passed it again. When I got into Atlanta, I picked up a copy of 'Creative Loafing' and saw that Neil Young was playing in town that night.
OMG! COOL, MAN!❤❤❤!
The bass player is a studio stand-in. Bruce Palmer had been deported back to Canada.
He's more like a studio prop. Nobody is actually playing here. Maybe I should rephrase that. This is not a true live recording. They're mimicking and lip syncing.
Governments back then seemed so stupid and vindictive. But today they’re better. They only force us to wear face blankeys and take untested drugs.

Huh? You think the government had something to do with lip-syncing? This is a new twist on conspiracy theories.

The guitars weren’t even plugged in. The bassist could have been a volunteer from the audience who had never picked up a guitar in his life. Strange how when it was over, the host only shook hands with the “unknown bassist”.
@@michaelwest2141 Actually the guitars are plugged in.
What a band... Stephen, Neil, Richie and BRUCE !!!
Who is playing bass instead of Palmer?
Very groovy! Nice cowboy hat Stills...nice muttin' chops Neil Young!
That’s Richie Furay with the cowboy hat. Stills is sitting on the amp on your left with no hat on.
Oh those were the times..!!
Quality music and a fabulous time..
All the band members have respect for each other....just awesome.
In 1977, I was in 2nd grade. My music teacher, Mrs. Allbight, played "For what it's Worth" to us. Said it was her favorite song. Then came "Mr. Soul" Blown Away! A decade later, I saw Niel Young on LSD. I then knew what Mrs. Allbright was talking about! He influenced the music of my generation, by that, I mean Grunge. Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, AIC, etc. Thank you Mrs. Allbright!
You saw Neil Young when HE was on LSD? Or you “SAW“ him when YOU were on LSD? In 1987? You had visions of Neil?
@@chrisjaybecker WE were on the acid. Not sure if Neil was. Great show though!😀
