Poor Rick Rosas; this man was an all around studio/live performance Bass player. We lost Rick in 2014. He fit in so well with Neil and the boys....R.I.P Mr. Rosas, you are missed.
Very Much Sad 😭
Brought tears to my eyes. These guys were one of the great rock bands of all time. Wish Neil hadn't been Neil and backed out of the tour.
Just fabulous. I saw them when they did the one tour, in Santa Barbara. That's Stills on the piano- on the songs where there is piano Stills and Young traded off- no hired guns here- just the five of them. Too much fun.....
Neil brings a presence to the song and to the show that transcends all expectations.
it is so much better when the crowd knows the song abd doesn't ruin the dynamics
nice to see Furay, Young, and Stills back together
It is obvious many had never heard it before as they repeatedly thought it was over 😂
I was at this show. Couldn’t believe that I actually saw it performed live.
Makes me pretty emotional. What a great song. Has lost no meaning over time for me.
Likewise....
I'm 67, my friends in HS had a band, they played their songs, went to dances at the local JC, the band I loved played their songs. I'm a big fan.
This is called music period!!
If this doesn't take you back to "That Place" in your life, then nothing will! Even with all the hoop n hollerin',.....that was real!! Just think about the all the voices that we all heard at "Woodstock!!" Awesome times back then & wonderful memories right here within this song!!
Some guys write ALL the BEST songs..Neil is one of 'em!😀
The audience was obviously too young (mostly) to remember this song. They applauded like it was the end of the song between each verse. They are awesome - can not wait for the tour
they were probably just excited I would have done the same
My God to hear & see it live kinda takes my breath away.
Got to say, I don't want to say it but Richie Furay is AWESOME here. He fits in real well. This is where he shines. In Latter-Day Poco, not so much. (That trump loving freak of nature 😂)
@@RobbyLakeMusic Furay a trump guy?
@@RobbyLakeMusic Don't understand your comment at all. Richie Furay is and always has been incredible!! Are you serious, you only think he was good here?? Please explain!
T first saw Neil Young when I was 24 and so was he. He is a true icon of our culture's music and passion for Peace in the World and justice for we 'common folk'. Keep ion rockin' in the Free World, Neil!
so happy right now, this song is perfection. Neil's voice great as ever, the whole group is amazing. time has not changed their sound or quality. they remain ever young in my heart.
This crowd is just too young for this song, they don't realize the greatness they are hearing.
They just like each stanza, as do I.
I think the opposite - Neil is now too old for this song
I'm 28 and I love the older bands so much. Way better than most of today's music.
Loved this group from the 70's and still do. ❤
They truly feel each other’s music. It’s awesome
I love Neil, Richie and the band!
Thx to the Buffalo for making me a 70 year old Neil fan.
Excellent !!
Love this song! Compelling lyrics and vibes! This songs embodies so much of the 60's and Vietnam War era in it. Great performance by Neil and the rest of the band.
Joe does perfect job keeping the song at its proper pace.perfect
Love you Rick:(((
Fantastic video. What a song from "Buffalo Springfield Again" 1967. Neil recorded this with Jack Nitsche now deceased.
this is beautiful video, thanks for filming and posting, I was there but working behind the stage and could only hear how great it was.
koko it must be 30 years since i learned how to play this, in ur bedroom, then it was last trip to tulsa xxx
LYRICS
The lights turned on and the curtain fell down
And when it was over, it felt like a dream
They stood at the stage door and begged for a scream
The agents had paid for the black limousine
That waited outside in the rain
Did you see them, did you see them?
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty-quivered
Brown-skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow
Held a broken arrow?
Eighteen years of American dream
He saw that his brother had sworn on the wall
He hung up his eyelids and ran down the hall
His mother had told him a trip was a fall
And don't mention babies at all
Did you see him, did you see him?
Did you see him in the river?
He was there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty-quivered
Brown-skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow
Held a broken arrow?
The streets were lined for the wedding parade
The queen wore the white gloves, the county of song
The black-covered caisson her horses had drawn
Protected her king from the sun rays of dawn
They married for peace and were gone
Did you see them, did you see them?
Did you see them in the river?
They were there to wave to you
Could you tell that the empty-quivered
Brown-skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow
Held a broken arrow?
My favorite Neil Young song!
"Beastly good!" he said, taking a canape from a passing tray
Thank You Brother I was there.....Magical
Good to see! Neil Young still rocks out! Great showman!
Love it
Neal’s goodbye to the Springfield. Sad, but history
@johnthehulk1 What, The Byrds didn't write their own music? What would you call "Eight Miles High," " So You Want To Be A Rock N Roll Star", "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better," "Ballad Of Easy Rider" etc.Roger McGuinn, David Crosby, Gene Clark, and Chris Hillman were prolific songwriters with several self-penned radio hits over several albums. The Buffalo Springfield had 3 albums (if you include the posthumous "Last Time Around.") Only "Again", their second album, was consistently good
Don't "WOO!" in the middle of the song! Wait until the end!
Richie on the 12 string. So great
LOL, I believe Steve Stills was playing piano here, but the only point the guy filming showed him was after the song ended, as he panned the camera out ...
Spoilt only by the crowd wooing. Still a great live version.
How dare you not get a good shot of Stills on the keys.
Is Stephen on piano? Such a shame a proper DVD of this all too brief tour was never released.
"Empty Quiver" is a military code word for a missing nuke. "Broken Arrow" is likewise code for an accident involving a nuke. I wonder if Neil was aware of this and if it has meaning within the song.
The lines read:
"They were there to wave to you.
Could you tell that the empty quivered,
Brown skinned Indian on the banks
That were crowded and narrow,
Held a broken arrow?"
The broken arrow indicates a PEACE OFFERING.
They were empty quivered because they only had the one broken arrow.
Of course later, our US Military would co-opt these ideas and apply them to a situation where we find we have missing nukes.
Well, wasnt his father anewsman? And Stills' father was in the militarily, plus i think a nuke accidenly got dropped back then.
Saw Neil at Santa Monica civic center around 69 or 70. There is a bootleg of that.
genius
Did you? Did you see them in river? Held of broken arrow... .
YOU AIN'T THE PINK FLOYD!!
you said it man
@Tetramastbad
Is that Joe Vitale on drums?
Eyep.
It's silly to comment on his lower voice, of course it's lower.....he's pretty much an old man.
I agree, try comparing Dylan's voice now to what it was in 1965.
where is stills?
Playing piano!
Rick Rosas!
Buffalo Springfield was a great band that was way ahead of their time. Unlike "The Byrds" who didn't write their own music, "Buffalo Springfield", with Young, Stills, and Furay, were prolific song writers. Unfortunately Neil didn't know what he wanted to do in 1968. So he walked off concerts. But his prolific song writing made "Buffalo Springfield Again" recorded in 1967, one of the best albums of all time.
I don't think the Byrds were so much like ' the Monkees" in respect to penning their own tunes, but they did a lot of Dylan covers.
What? The Byrds didn't write their own songs? Really?
From the Neil Young bio, Shaky: The Birds were great in the studio terrilbe live, Springfeild was great live and had a lot of problems in the studio
The Byrds, notably Gram Parsons and Roger McGuinn, did write some music. I saw them live - it was Eight Miles High....or at least I was...
@john meyer Don’t know if you’re still out there after 9 years. Nonetheless: The Byrds mixed covers with originals, some of them exquisite classics or big hits, from the first album on, written by all of them except maybe the drummer. And some of the covers they really made their own, like several of Dylan’s songs, or Goin’ Back (a Brill Building tune for pete’s sake). The 12-string Rick, the harmonies, later Clarence White and introducing pedal steel on “rock” albums - the Byrds had a unique, haunting, pioneering sound and feel, inimitable except sometimes by TP & The Heartbreakers.
Stills & Young were both transcendent artists, as Young has remained, of greater musical vision and ambition. I bought the album Buffalo Springfield after hearing For What Its Worth on the radio; the next summer I stumbled on the single Rock And Roll Woman/Mr. Soul on a jukebox before I knew Buffalo Springfield Again had come out, and kept playing both sides over and over. I remember thinking finally someone had made a record of the music I heard in my head, somebody had figured out how to put all the the guitars, vocals, chords, lyrics, and production, the sweetness and the hard rocking, together. To this day I’ve never heard more exciting music.
I think Neil did have at least this much of an idea what he wanted to do: he didn’t want to compromise or sacrifice his musical vision for anyone else’s, which is why the band’s best album Buffalo Springfield Again has two songs that aren’t actually by Buffalo Springfield, Expecting To Fly and Broken Arrow. (And IMHO Stills’s songs on Again are every bit as great as Neil’s.)
wtf?? you. cant show steven stills even once???
One of the most poignant songs I have ever heard
gawd some of you children on the internet are really silly...
Wilco does an excellent cover of this song.
…THIS IS NOT BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD !
sorry pal, this is what remains of Buffalo Springfield. Stills, Furay, and Young wrote the songs, Stills, Furay, and Young, are performing them. this just in: it’s not 1967 anymore. if you were a fan of this band, you can appreciate this performance.
…this just in pal, Led Zeppelin had the sense and taste to man-up and accept that without John Bonham there was no Led Zeppelin…Sirs Paul and Ringo have likewise resisted the $$$$$$ and not toured as The Beatles…to each their own i guess but it seems pretty easy to respect the English guys and see the others as greedy Americans…not a good look…and yes many other Brit bands are guilty of greed as well…and i guess Jim Messina and Jim Felder must be dead…
…pretty lame excuse…
💜luv this song--- too bad neils gone mental 😥
For some reason I can't listen to broken. Arrow especially I think in the they are singing about the Kennedy persseion.
procession
Nice, but too bad they couldn't find a piano player as FINE as what was on the album! Had to fill it in with guitars.
Is this a serious comment, or meant as some weird joke? The piano here was played by Steve Stills, who was the producer of the album track (I don't know if he or Neil played piano on the original, but Steve was definitely a frequent player on BS tracks). If this was a sarcastic comment on how he couldn't play as well as he could 45 years earlier, well then let's see how you do at age ~65. And if you don't want to see ACTUAL original Buffalo Springfield members play the songs because they aren't good enough anymore, I'm sure you can find a cover band somewhere to listen to?
That sucked
