CASome classic Buffalo Springfield featuring a 23 year old Neil Young on lead vocals, 1967 🇨🇦 🍁
Formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1966, just months prior to the release of their debut self titled album “Buffalo Springfield”, the band brought together a unique mix of Canadian and American talent.
The group consisted of Canadian musicians Neil Young, Bruce Palmer, and Dewey Martin, alongside Americans Stephen Stills and Richie Furay.
Although active for only roughly two years and releasing just three albums, the band’s legacy remains one of the most iconic of the mid to late ’60s counterculture scene. While all members found success following the group’s split, Young and Stills emerged as the band’s breakout stars.
The bassist seen with his back toward the camera is in fact not Bruce Palmer, but Dickie Davis. Palmer had been arrested for drug possession earlier that day, and the group opted to have Davis—a roadie—sit in for the performance, keeping his face hidden from the camera.
• Band members faced numerous Drug charges resulting in a few lineup changes, this would contribute to the groups decision to dissolve the band in 1968
• The name “Buffalo Springfield” came at Neil’s suggestion, after noticing a Steam-Roller manufactured by “The Buffalo Springfield company”
• Mr. Soul was heavily influenced by The Rolling Stones “Satisfaction” with the track sharing a very similar riff to that of Keith Richard’s
