Buffalo Springfield played alot in my teenage years! Tons of talent came from this band. Niel Young, don't need to point out the career he had. Richie Furay and Jim Messina go on to form Poco. Stephen Stills of CSNY fame. And while they were Buffalo Springfield, man the music they put out! Words can't express, unbelievable band!
The first super group before they were super. Huge huge HUGE Poco fan.
@@Timoeltejano Me too! So much talent came out of Buffalo Springfield -- between Poco, Neil Young, all of Jim Messina's work -- and Poco influenced the Eagles and Jackson Browne and many others. This band was near the top of the entire rock and roll family tree.
@@stpnwlf9
Not sure if your familiar with the Long Ryders but they crossed all of the genre lines in the 80's. It's like mixing country with punk sprinkled with psychedelic soul.
They were the original alt country. In fact I believe that's who the term was coined for.
Still going today.
They were heavily influenced by Poco and Buffalo and Neil.
It always seemed that the Eagles stole from Poco and not just music stylings but musicians. I met Timothy B Schmidt and what a genuinely nice guy. He said he went to the Eagles because he couldn't pay his bills back in the early Poco days and it was like a 10 thousand percent instant raise.
@@Timoeltejano I am not familiar with them. Sounds like something I should check out. Yeah, the Eagles seemed to make a habit of poaching Poco's high-harmony bassists, didn't they? LOL Poco was never a cash machine like the Eagles but they made a ton of great music!
There's 2 Manassas Albums headed by Stephen Stills with Chris Hillman of the Byrds and many other master musicians, another under the radar Supergroup.
“Rock and Roll Woman” by Buffalo Springfield is another great one.
I agree with Neil Young’s assertion that Stephen Stills is a genius. I think Neil is too, but Stephen Stills seems underrated. He is an amazing guitar player, has a great voice, and is a brilliant songwriter. Stills’ Helplessly Hoping by CSN is one of the most beautiful yet heartbreaking songs I have ever heard.
He s been tragically under rated and was roommates with Jimi Hendricks before his big break!!! Here on TH-cam check out his live concert with Bonnie Bramlett of Delaney and Bonnie
Sir Stephen Stills is a great musician you see bluebird is played drop D tuning on acoustic guitar the way he plays it gets you thinking what instrument is he playing.? Top all round musician .
This is what a super group is. Buffalo Springfield is the definition of a great band. Music from the highest level of creativity and genius.
Stills is such a uniquely fantastic player, one of the best.
The solo section was an acoustic guitar, with open tuneing…Stephen stills played that …it was a banjo at the end..Neil Young, Stephen stills,Richie Furay, and Jim Messina…. Only three albums, the beginning of country rock…
This is a great folk rock band that was formed in the 60's. It included Stephen Stills, Neil Young & others. Their song "For What It's Worth" was their biggest hit but they had a few other good songs such as "Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing", "Bluebird" & "Mr. Soul". The group disbanded in 1968. Stephen Stills went on to form the supergroup Crosby, Stills & Nash with David Crosby of the Byrds and Graham Nash of The Hollies. Neil Young launched his solo career and later joined Stills in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young in 1969.
This song is from '67, when I was nine. I remember it so vaguely. Hearing it again really got into the cobweb section of the memory hole. There were so many protest songs through childhood for us late boomers.
Finally! You are the first reactor to my knowledge to hit this gem! I have asked ALL my favorites to do it. So NOW it will catch everyone’s attention and they will ALL do it! Thank you Harri! You must have done For What It’s Worth as the protest song.
The instrument that seemed to puzzle you a bit was an acoustic guitar being played 'aggressively' The second instrument was a banjo. Both being played by Stephen Stills.
Steve Stills did not play the banjo on the outro....A fellow named Chin played that.
@@steveblomerth Thought it was Neil Young that played the banjo. I've seen him perform with a banjo, sooo....The aggressive acoustic guitar solo was definately Stills. His playing style was written all over that solo!
The great thing about the "old" American bands is that all knew each other and ended up mixing and matching with each other. Obviously, they weren't all Americans but had that country rock vibe to them. This is a wonderful song so diverse. So much talent! Thanks, Harri. You hit the jack pot with Buffalo Springfield today.
Even Neil Young, a Canadian, grew up with country music in his house and brought a lot of folk-country sensibility to the band.
Well done for choosing this classic. Hardly anyone else has.
That is precisely why I requested it.
My friend, you don't need to put it in a category. So glad you heard this.
Love this song. It was practically a theme song for the hippie movement in the sixties. I haven't heard it in a long time, but never get tired of it. Thank you for the pleasure.
Not hippies way different
I’m telling you, Stephen Stills and an acoustic guitar are the recipe for pure magic. Check out his sublime song “4 + 20” from the CSNY album “Déjà Vu.” I say “his” song vs. “their” because Stills wrote it and performs it completely solo. It’s just him and that beautiful guitar!
the version from celebration at the big sur after stills took the nick at being heckled by some frazzled hippy and tries to fight the guy is stunning..
1967. Stephen Stills and Neil Young on guitars......Richie Furay too! (Poco). An interesting album! The piano on Broken Arrow is incredible.
This song is very dear to me, stirs lots of emotion!!!!.......Takes me back to a wonderful place!!!
You are such a legend, Harri. I just want to say that I've been enjoying pretty much every review (they're not just "reactions"!) you put out here.
I suppose the fact that we're more or less from the same generation might be making me feel a bit nostalgic, but I know that it's much more than that.
You bring a such a great, expert, passionate and humane reflection on these things - which I knew as a mere callow "consumer" back in the day - that I am basically in awe :)
Very special channel.
,To our Hoat. Many thanx for bringing yesterday's excitement back to this 68 year old man. The other Buffalo Springfeild "protest' song you were recalling was "For What it's Worth" and the guitar that caught you ear in this tune was an acoustic 12 string
Yes, you get it. 3 different movements to this song. Well done. Love it.
I believe that this song, like CSN's "Suite Judy Blue Eyes", is about Judy Collins, but I could be wrong.
It is the very same subject matter, great call Beth!
Poor Stephen Stills he really loved Judy Collins, she must have broken his heart. Helplessly Hoping is a great one too about the end of their relationship.
@@blackbird8900 As do I feel for him, undoubtedly that relationship had an impact on him. On the other end of the spectrum, several beautiful tracks written about the failed relationship. Double edged sword there. Grateful for the songs that came from it, but wholeheartedly sad for the man because it really did crush him.
Sweet! Back in the early eighties I inherited a bunch of old records from a great uncle and among them was Retrospective: The Best of Buffalo Springfield. "For What It's Worth" is the song you reacted to last year and the song they are most remember for, but they released a bunch of other great tunes as well, like this one! "Mr. Soul", "Kind Woman", "On the Way Home", "Broken Arrow", "I Am A Child". Buffalo Springfield combined folk and country and psychedelia with rock, but are usually categorized as folk rock alongside The Byrds.
Don't forget one of their other big hits" Rock and Roll Woman"
My man you got yourself a hold of a great and valuable LP there! I have the very same LP, and is amongst my most treasured!
For what it's worth overplayed but Uno Mundo or 4 days gone
It's not groovy and not Psychedelic!!! Country Rock
@@garyarnett1220 yep and Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing!
There's a version twice as long, which is the same take, but includes a long jam at the end. It only appeared on a 2-CD "Best of" set. It's 9:00 long and is great. People were mad when the all-encompassing box-set was released and that version wasn't included.
It was on an album somewhere back in the seventies because I used to have a friend who had it and I copied it onto an 8-track cassette but I do remember being rare back then and only on certain copies of the album
Yup Bluebird Revisited
@@bobcorbin3294 yup many requesters heard this one album and not the greatest stuff by the Springfield and there s a recording here on youtube with the Springfields last concert but pretty muddled quality
this is stephen stills on acoustic guitar,the banjo is a guy called charlie chin,who played in a band called cat mother and the all night newsboys who made a few good albums,stills is a phenomenal guitarist sheer brilliance,its also him singing.jpj

The whole album is great!
Stephen Stills was the master of alternate tuning of the guitar. He taught Joni Mitchell how to do this in exchange for the rights to the song "Woodstock" which CSNY recorded.
That's Stephen Stills playing a Martin D something acoustic. That aggressive acoustic is part of his styles. Try "Black Queen" off his solo album
Nope
That acoustic guitar is Stills. A master of the acoustic guitar. This song is a just a sample of what Stills records later. He is a genius
I was about 9 yrs old and took the album to music class and she played the whole album for the class! I was the cool kid from that time on lol!✌🤘
For What It’s Worth ( protest song)- was a big hit for Buffalo Springfield, my favorite.Neil Young and Stephen Stills both were part of this group, both musical geniuses 💥 Richie Furay & Jim Messina also great musicians. I think it was an acoustic guitar solo by Stephen S and Neil Y on the banjo. Thanks for bringing this one back for people to discover. ☮️💎💜
Another beauty is Expecting To Fly.
Try 1967; A band way ahead of its time. What a great interplay of acoustic and electric guitar. And the surprise at the ending. A banjo interacting with an acoustic guitar. Never heard anything like it - ever.
Bands back then were versatile. Not like the One Trick Wonders of today.
Stephen Stills had one of the greatest voices. I don't care for much of his solo music but this is an excellent song. I was hoping you wouldn't shut it off before the banjo part, it's beautiful.
So much going on in this song…. It’s show’s all the musical influences that come through in Stephen Stills
The great, but short-lived Buffalo Springfield! What more can you say? If you liked that, you'll probably also enjoy "Rock'n'roll Woman"!
One of my favorite songs from one of my favorite bands...
An acoustic guitar in open tuning, heavily compressed....then you get the banjo at the end...the best part.
1. Stephen Stills wrote this and is nearly deaf in one ear. 2. He played the acoustic lead with an open tuning. 3. The song was one drawn out jam session in the recording studio and they didn't have an end. They cut it off at a certain point and added the coda with Neil Young adding the banjo part.
Stephen Stills, who penned and sang this did a follow up or sequel track to this one on his solo album Stephen Stills 2, and it was called Bluebird Revisited. I HIGHLY recommend you give it a listen. You will really enjoy it-guaranteed.
Exactly and is fantastic
"That guitar" you mention, Stephen Stills, one of the best acoustic players I've heard.
In the 60s a lot of singers and musicians were doing folk music, and others rock music, but a number of them began to migrate from various places to Los Angeles, where a new sound was being made, which was to become known as folk rock (including psychedelic versions thereof). There’s a great story of how Neil Young drove from Ontario, Canada, to L.A. in his 1953 Pontiac hearse to look for Stephen Stills, who’d already gone to L.A. One day, as Stills and Richie Furay were driving along Sunset Blvd, they spotted the hearse. Not long after, Buffalo Springfield was formed.
This band was truly spectacular! Try "Kind Woman", "Rock and Roll Woman", "Mr. Soul", "Expecting to Fly", "I Am a Child", "Go and Say Goodbye", or "Sit Down I Think I Love You".
This is a studio piece. The acoustic rhythm and lead guitar parts are by Stephen, who wrote it and sang lead. He's quite the flash on many guitar styles. This one is mostly bluegrass-style flat picking, but I'm sure he threw in a few other tricks, too. The electric guitar could be Neil's or Stephen's. It shows elements of Neil's rawness. If there's a Hammond B3 deep in the mix, that would have been played by Stephen, too. The banjo coda is by Charlie Chin, not a regular member of the band. There's another version that substitutes the banjo coda with an extended acoustic and electric guitar jam. It's been a while since I've listened to this. It really is a wall of sound.
1967... their last LP, these guys reformed as Crosby Stills and Nash....
Great harmony,great Steve Stills guitar
I think that Buffalo Springfield's influence on rock during those years was very underated. "Southern California Country Rock", "Folk Rock". If you haven't heard their music, you should give it a listen. Stephen Stills (of Crosby, Stills and Nash), Richie Furay (of Poco), Jim Messina (of Loggins and Messina), Neil Young, Dewey Martin, Bruce Palmer. They certainly influenced my music and playing, even though I didn't discover them until around 6 or 8 years after they existed.
Haven't heard this one in a long time. Great choice.
Thanks Harri! 😊
The origins of country rock.
Don't forget the Byrds, Gram Parsons, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and Clarence White who was a bluegrass phenom as a child and a masterful guitarist in the Byrds as well.
That was just an acoustic guitar he was playing. You were right he was just playing it aggressively. The banjo did come in later during the outro
It's an acoustic guitar you're reacting too. Yes, it's played somewhat aggressively, and the bright tonal quality of the guitar's strings is emphasized by how it's miked. Only the later section features an actual banjo, played by someone not a regular in the band.
Excellent choice from the Buffalo Springfield catalog. Stephen Stills played the steel string acoustic guitar, and I think Neil Young was on the electric (though Stills was a first-rate electric guitar soloist as well).
To me BlueBird is a beautiful tune, a prelude of masterful work to come by Steven Stills in Iconic songs such as Sweet Judy Blue Eyes and Wooden Ships.
This was the most important band in the American transition from Pop to Rock....
Could be a 12-String guitar. Crosby, Stills and Nash also did anoher "blue" suite... "Suite:Judy Blue Eyes"
But they were best when Neil Young joined them and they went electric instead of the wimpy acoustic!!! 4 way street was their Live Double Album with acoustic but more importantly their Rock with Stills and Young trading leads on Southern Man and Carry on
One of the seminal American rock bands of the '60's and a significant force in American rock/pop music. Always good vibes.
Buffalo Springfield created Country Rock. The Guitarist is Stephen Stills
Stills is a stud - Treetop Flyer!
The solo guitar is an acoustic Martin D-28
On her very first album, Bonnie Raitt did a pretty nice acoustic cover of this song.
"Long Time Gone" and "Almost cut my hair" are great songs also along the same lines.
But they were with CROSBY STILLS NASH and Young and almost nothing to do with Buffalo Springfield
Wow!! Scott great pick. Turns back the hands of time. Another great song by the wizard Stephen Stills. I believe Charlie Chin played the banjo. Mr. Stills is one of the great songwriters. Neil Young was no slouch himself. Mr Soul was the B side, that was a Neil Young rocker. Great reaction Harri. Neil was in and out of the band. He was a temperamental soul, but what a talent.
The James Gang did an excellent version of this tune on their first LP. Give it a listen.
I thought that this was “BLACKBIRD sitting in the dead of night….and oddly, it is done by Paul from the Beatles!!
People are right! One of the great "begat" bands ( "For What it's worth"
Is the great protest song you were thinking of) . Poco, Loggins & Messina and Crosby Stills Nash And Young...
The aggressive guitar was acoustic played picking, instead of strumming. The banjo was as banjo. This why us old folk listened to entire albums. Bands are more than their singles.
You should listen to the long version. It's a SERIOUS hard rock song!!!!!
Musically it has some similarities with The Beatles’ “Rain”. At least that’s what I hear, hearing this for the first time.
Loooooong song!
You sure can tell where CSNY's vocal sound came from.
No pedal steel or steel guitar in this song that I can hear. Rusty Young (pedal steel) joined Buffalo Springfield for their final album (played on "Kind Woman") and later went on to Poco, but wasn't in the band for "Bluebird". Rusty passed away last year.
The Springfield were smooth AF.
they chose their name after seeing a piece of heavy road equipt. on the side of a road ,marked buffalo springfield
You should listen to the rest of the album!
If you like this sound, check out Neil's 'Mr. Soul."
Wow, been a long time since I heard this 😁
There was a special Stills Mix that was longer and heavier than the other one Young authorized.
Ouch! Hurt my way back machine...
Buffalo Springfield, a very talented folk, country rock band. Stephen Stills, Neil Young, Richie Furay, Dewey Martin and a session bassist on this song from 1967. You may also want to check out the "B" side of this single, "Mr. Soul".
I was surprised when this started because I thought it was another song that I think is called Bluebird! It’s softer and I remember that it started with something like “Bluebird sitting in the morning light, take your broken wing and fly away” or something similar. . This actually sounds like there’s a lot of Beatles influence.
I’m confused but did like this, altho not nearly as much as the one that I thought it was!
Anyone know the name of the other Bluebird song? It was huge when I was a teenager??
That's "Blackbird" by the Beatles
I had to join in too with the Beatles’ Blackbird, which inspired my username. However if I’m not mistaken Paul McCartney also did a song called Bluebird during his solo career.
You're thinking of "Blackbird", originally by The Beatles, covered by Crosby Stills and Nash.
Hi Harri .. The singer, Stephen Stills, had a hit solo single in the 70s called "Love The One You're With" .. Do yourself a favour, and check it out soon .. It's powerful, and has a great feel ..You'll love it !
I think the song you heard before and were referring to is "For What It's Worth". The famous chorus, "I think it's time we stop
children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
The great thing about music in the late sixties and early seventies is that you did not have to categorize songs just enjoy them as the mix of styles are played by many bands all over different FM radio stations like WNEW in New York!
Mr. Soul from the same album is a great song! Lots of classic riffs from Neil Young on this track.
The B-Side of the "Bluebird" single, ("Mr. Soul"), is worth checking out:

Buffalo Springfield - Mr. Soul (1967)
Neil Young
from:
"Bluebird" / "Mr. Soul" (Single)
“Buffalo Springfield Again“ (LP)
I believe you heard 'For What It's Worth' ("There's something happening here..."). Also a bit "psychedelic" as well as speaking to social issues, against the war, the right of dissent, etc. Very influential, and a springboard for its members who all went on to new heights as others have elaborated, now that I've had a look at other comments. Great stuff, Harri, thanks again and cheers! ;>D
Harribest, wondering if you'd get back to more Supertramp. "Ain't Nobody But Me" is a really good jam if you haven't heard it, and Roger Hodgson's "Even In The Quitest Moments" is a majestic masterpiece
Stephen Stills!
Psychedelic!
Does anybody realize an electric lick in the first part of the song mimics a bluejay or bluebird?
There is a banjo in there.
I think James Taylor may have played the banjo on this song
Baritone Guitar... ;-) - Electric Guitar - Acoustic Guitar - Banjo
In this band there was two talented young guys at the beginning of their career.....Neil Young and Steven Stills
It's Country Rock
1967, definitely was psychedelic days
Should have done long version
I’m gonna have to Google and find the one that I thought it was!!😶🤔🤔🤔
The song is about Stephen Still's affair with Judy Collins.
