Tom Petty and Stephen Stills....the coolest

[@stevedrums1675]

Two Florida boys. One played in a band with Don Felder. The other was taught guitar by him.

[@meisnow23]

@@stevedrums1675 Two Gainesville, Florida boys. Tom looked up to Stephen since he was nearly five years older, which is a lot when you are 13 years old.

Great old tune, so sad to lose Tom Petty so young....😔

And now David.

And next…who?

Tom Petty's always so fucking cool. I love to see him playing lead.

He looks awful smoking.

My boy TOM PETTY of my town Gainesville...............oh G-d we miss him so!!!!!!!!!!

[@christopherheinig5590]

Marvellous ! How we miss Tom Petty, R.I.P. along with SO many greats & also CSNY !

[@brigitteryan2863]

Sheila, their jamming. The recorded version is still available. Look how happy Stills is.

[@zaphoz77]

Nobody got rid of the original version. You can still listen to it if you want. I like this reinterpretation. The opening guitar owes a little to Neil Young's "Down By the River".

[@Techfree815]

It's his song he can play it anyway he likes. Damn it.

[@vc23]

That's exactly what I was going to say.

[@stephengiffith1010]

It shure could be the ⏰ WAKE UP SOUND ON EVERY ONE S. ALARM CLOCK OR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM HOW COOL IT IS TO SEE THIS BEING PLAYED I WAS N STILL AM A MUSICAL ARTISTS HIPPIE I WAS AT 10 SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED BUT THIS SONG STILL STANDS THANKS. YOU GUYS NICE TO SEE TOM UP WITH THESE FAVORITE CATS OF MINE

[@muziktrkr]

Fun to see the 2 boys from Gainesville together, but it's a shame Neil missed out.

[@DummyYEEEAAHHHHH]

Very bluesy version... Love it !!

[@mindstash704]

I really enjoyed this! I grew up w/ the Springfield and love their original sound but art progresses, musicians get bored w/ repetition and its great to see them playing around and having fun w/ it on stage.

[@19tractor52]

Yeah! Tom Petty got in some great lead licks -----always wished he would've stepped out for a little more lead work, it was always so perfect....course when you've got Mike Campbell standing next to you........

[@hardcanard]

this is no Buffalo Springfield without Neil Young.

[@jcclone]

Hahahaha look at their history...Neil quit the band on at least three occasions and they used other guitar players for gigs.

[@EightMilesHigh1966]

Bruce really let him self go. They could of had Palmer, Stills, Martin, Furay, and Petty play.

[@stevedrums1675]

I don’t think Palmer was healthy. Physically or emotionally.

A kind of magic

[@d.markdetrixhe3367]

Proof that magic exists!

[@trfesok]

This is the standard CSN live arrangement, first heard on the "Allies" album in 1983. I think it loses all the foreboding subtlety of the original version. Also covered by the Staple Singers, Rush and Cher (!!!). I put all 5 in my BS playlist. Thanks for the uploading!

[@dkroll92]

trfesok Stills has been playing it like this, at least by himself, since the '70s.

[@trfesok]

I know, but it doesn't mean it's all that good..I've seen a performance of it myself, in 1987..

[@biggawinnacrapsa3870]

Give Haley Reinhart a listen.

[@FirstUsedBooks]

Please give me some audio. Why am I held deaf?

[@Armentitron]

For fuck's sake you lot these Hall of Fame performances are meant to be a chance for a bunch of awesome artists to jam and let loose, not restrict themselves to their original recordings. What fun is it to hear the same version of a song over and over again? ive a fuckin little

[@maryzell1045]

Tom can play lead!

[@melissagerber7231]

Now,David is gone.

[@Anglynn74]

what the hell was bruce doing? lol

[@singingwater69]

This is CSN! Only one member from BS. I'm just saying...

[@rredsox3433]

This is as much a Buffalo Springfield performance as it is a Hollies or Byrds performance

[@kieransoregaard-utt8]

False. Not even close.

[@rebeccalc217]

I find it rather insulting that C,S, & N chose this when it was a Buffalo Springfield song--played at the same ceremony where Buffalo Springfield was inducted. Now, if that's Bruce Palmer behaving rather oddly, I see why they might not have wanted him playing, but why isn't Richie out there singing with Stills? Oh yeah--I imagine his born-again status is not popular in the rock world, but he still sounds good, so I imagine he would have sounded excellent in 1997. Why didn't they pick a song that was not from Stills' days with Buffalo Springfield?

[@pghpookie]

Richie took ill during the evening, perhaps a food allergy, but left for his hotel right after the inductions....

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

Born again....good for him, Jesus Christ loves you too dude

David Ryder likely stuck it in the gap between strings and headstock for a bit like many guitarists do.

[@melissatyree566]

@Lori Hill ..no instrument or mic.

[@Tim.Pierce]

Inspector711... This was CSN's night not Neil's.. Neil was never an official member of CSN he was a guest of the band many times over the years and besides Neil could never perform a heavy schedule jumping between 2 bands at the same time between crazy horse and his solo ventures and Neil was probably on tour somewhere that night anyways so as for Neil "blowing it off", im pretty sure he must have wanted to be there for CSN but couldn't...

[@dkroll92]

***** Neil was there for Buffalo Springfield's induction, wasn't he? Both bands were inducted the same night. edit: I guess he bailed for some reason. Kind of petty considering the circumstances. It's not like he didn't know ahead of time.

[@Tim.Pierce]

x

[@Tim.Pierce]

dkroll92 no he did not attend perhaps it was because he was not friendly with david crosby.. so i don't know whats going on with them and the infighting against each other

[@jfsssp]

NiagaraTim ok but Buffalo Springfield was 50% Neil and 50% Stills.

[@biggawinnacrapsa3870]

Maybe Neil came to the rehearsal, heard what they were planning on doing to this and said 'no thanks'.

[@jeromemurphy2572]

I'm not too crazy about the lyrics being a little more to the right of most of you folks but I love the groove and these guys are great. We can come together man.

[@GeoWhiz287]

It's Bruce Palmer, who was the bassist on the oringal Buffalo Springfield recording of this song. What makes you think he's Jewish? (or not Jewish? I have no idea.) Yes, his clothing is odd, and his behavior is odder, which is probably why he hasn't been invited to stand in for the CSN bassist.

[@martyrosen4515]

[@slkbme]

He was a Christian who went to India and became a Hindu. (Never was a Jew.)
