BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD "I AM A CHILD/KIND WOMAN" 24-10-2010

BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD PERFORMS RICHIE FURAY'S CLASSIC SONG LIVE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON THE BRIDGE SCHOOL REUNION CONCERT.
THERE'S ONE ERROR IN THE INFORMATION GIVEN IN THIS VIDEO: RICHIE'S "HEARTBEAT OF LOVE" (WITH NEIL YOUNG, STEPHEN STILLS, TIM SCHMIT, KENNY LOGGINS, PAUL COTTON AO) WAS RELEASED IN 2006 (NOT 2004....SORRY FOR THAT TOO)
I WAS THERE BECAUSE...MY GOOD FRIEND RICHIE FURAY, FOUNDER OF POCO, HAD INFORMED ME. WHAT A SPECIAL TRIP FROM CURAÇAO TO CALIFORNIA THAT WAS...

[@danminutillo5890]

Wow, I’m 66 years old, this brought me back to a much better and simpler time

[@stevedrums1675]

In this era of blind tribalism and at a point we're we are all about as nasty to each other for not following our preferable ideological and political bents of the moment, it is so refreshing and heart-warming that Richie - who is a Conservative and devout Christian - can still share a stage with Neil & Stephen who are very Liberal - and share their commonality which is beautiful music. This is what I believe music was originally supposed to do which was to bridge the gaps, not add to them. Kudos to these three men for behaving like adults and leaving the bullshit behind.

[@bellinghammond]

Film/Music/TV....No conservative is even *allowed* to pass through the gates of Fame these days. Communist Left can't handle the competition in the marketplace of ideas. They rely on STRICT message enforcement/propaganda (same as always). amerika is a much poorer place culturally as a result

[@bobsmoot8454]

Buffalo Springfield gave birth to so many bands that then spun off other great groups. The genre they invented keeps permeating through the best music from then to now

[@johnkehe9082]

I think this band, at their best, was the true “American Beatles”. The talent was deep and varied. The musicianship was off the charts. And the songwriting - so so so good. Even 43 years on, the songs are timeless, the musicians sound much younger than their years and totally inspired. You can see it in all 3 of the originals’ faces. They know the Springfield was the best combination of their talents and time in music. I miss this band so much. Looks like they do too.

[@ampman1961]

I love Richie's singing. It's so honest and deep. He stole the show. Neil Young on piano also helped recreate the vibe of the original recording.

[@gordongrant444]

God, they sound great! What a gift.

[@treed5679]

Neil Young makes his way on his own and still comes back to his roots, Call me a fan!!

[@hudentdw2]

This song makes me cry it reminds me of my youth when Richie sang it in the album it was something else.

[@None4you2day]

This really brings back memories of the days on Sunset Blvd in the early 60’s and even though I was just a 15 year old kid my friends and I would hang out at places like Pandora’s Box, a club that Buffalo Springfield played at as well as others and got to know them and I guess they got tired of us always being there that they asked me and one other friend to help them carry in equipment and showed us how to set it ALL up! What great memories I have from those days

[@lynnmusiccowgirlely122]

Mike we could have crossed paths lol. Where did all our good times go. Was growing up all that it was cracked up to be?!. Sarcastic but not cynical. Blessings.

Kind Woman - so good, so good.

[@gailrobinson2688]

My heart just melted ❤️ I saw Poco I'm College with Richie in his buckskin fringe suit, and Rusty playing pedal steel. Kind Woman was and is one of the most beautiful and heartfelt songs I've ever heard. Thank you from the bottom of my melted heart ❣️🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

Your visualization makes me fantasize about going back in time and seeing them.. wow..

[@vincentm614]

That was great. These guys are not depending on musical pro's to beef up their sound. The finest playing and singing came from the 3 principle members of Buffalo Springfield.

[@phillipholt6005]

I never seen Young play the piano. I never knew who the band members until today. I like learning new things everyday

Richie truly impressed me when he left Buffalo Springfield for the road to testify when God healed his Mom from cancer. He did, and subsequently pastored Calvary Church in Colorado for about two years.

[@alainmenard5895]

Great show, I was there, Richie was great, Neil always good and even Stephen was very good. Richie is still touring and offer a perfect show. Age has no effect on him.

Although I am sorry Dewey and Bruce couldn't participate, this sure was mighty fine. Rest well, Bruce Palmer, Dewey Martin, Pegi Young. Life goes so fast, man.

Bruce got deported again.. 😳

Well that’s... one way to say it... 😉

[@albertleffler962]

[@winmkt]

This is so fine. Richie is truly one of the finest singer/songwriters in the business - adding bandmate Neil Young to the mix and it just doesn't get any better than this. Thank you Richie for your passion and talent - you have made your mark in the music industry!

[@BadBoiFilms]

Stills and young wrote almost all of the songs and went on to have way more successful careers

[@jysmtl]

BadBoiFilms more “successful”. I’ll put Richie’s music right up there alongside theirs.

I was a huge fan of Buffalo Springfield. Finally got to see them at the Santa Barbara Bowl in 2011. Felt blessed to be able to see them after so many years after the original band broke up

[@debbieedwards711]

They're all so so great!!! S. Stills has got to be one of the BEST guitar players. Thanks for posting this video.

[@bobsmoot8454]

Buffalo Springfield gave birth to a number of killer groups. In addition, the original members’ song catalogs they created while there and in later groups is staggering to say the least. A ton of talent that somehow found a way to “play well in a common sandbox “.

Thanks for posting, Peter. Wonderful to see this "sort of" reunion, but also a sad reminder that Bruce Palmer and our very dear friend, Dewey Martin were no longer alive at this time. Dewey was an exceptionally decent man, whose sad fall from unbelievable highs to inconceivable lows was the proverbial "rags to riches" saga. One thing he seemed never to lose was his sense of humor and belief that "the next big moment" was just around the corner. Sad reminder that he's long gone now.

[@edwardsomppi8274]

Steven Stills went to their producer on the Last Time Around, Jim Messina, and told him that Ritchie wrote a song that he had to have him play for him. One of the greatest Country Rock songs ever written and the start of something pretty special if only too short a time

Richie Furay sounds great, and so do his songs. I liked this band so much better than CSNY. I think Neil Young dislikes Furay, you can just sense it here. He seems uncomfortable/jealous sharing the spotlight with Richie . What a shame. Many musicians/performers are egotistical in this way. I would pay big money to see Buffalo Springfield, couldn't care less about CSNY.

[@sdot5389]

I saw them six times in 2010/2011. I don’t think you are too right about Neil and Richie, they always seemed to be warm in all those shows - just look at them at the end of Kind Woman - big smiles. Stephen too. This is Neils stage demeanour a lot of the time in all his permutations. He’s focused and methodical. Neil recently wrote some nice things about Richie on his website as well. They couldn’t be at more different ends of the political spectrum (Neil is left of Lenin and Richie is a bona fide Trump thumper), but have that shared experience that unites them.
