Bruce's speech was epic for a guy who never said much. I got a kick out of that! RIP Dewey and Bruce
"He quit again!" I love it! Eat a peach!
I drove down to Kansas City with some friends in '70(ish) to see Poco. Outstanding concert and Richie Furay was a huge part of that. Fast forward to 2014 in Northglenn, CO, (near Denver) and a struggling marriage was more than I could deal with. Did a search for a Christian counselor and I find Calvary Chapel Broomfield..... Pastor Richie Furay. Pastor Richie helped me thru one of the most difficult times of my life. God bless you brother.
what an awesome story ❤️
Richie is the real deal. Always has been.
What an incredible story, orchestrated by a very wild, untamable God who Loves His Creation! This post has buoyed my faith in these times of much needed Faith and endurance. And even came as an answer to my daily prayer, "Father show me your Love, reveal yourself to me." And speaking of orchestration, I had no intention of watching this, but it just came into my view and I clicked on it.🤔☺ I am almost 69 years old and so these were my peeps, so to see that at least two of them became believers in the Lord Jesus has made my day! At 22 I was a lost young woman walking along a college campus, when some students came and shared the Gospel with me. I was defiant and angry, and this self styled God cursing "atheist" let them have a piece of my mind. That night I went home and I said once again and defiantly, "Ok God if your real, and this Jesus is real show me." And just like to the thief on the cross, He welcomed me into His Kingdom. So if your searching out there, just ask, please just ask, and see if He will not reveal Himself to you. (And send all negatives comments to me and not to C.😉) Thank you again for sharing this and Maranatha dear C!! 🫂✝🎺
I saw Poco back in ‘79. Great concert.
In 1987 in Monterey California I was in a band and we were the opening act for Buffalo Springfield Revisited. The only original member that night was Bruce Palmer, I got to talk to him for about a half hour before they went on and he told me the whole story about him and Neil coming from Canada and playing with Rick James and later meeting Stephen and Ritchie. He was very easy going, he still has his chops too.
Amazing how you can hear Steve’s fabulous vocal voice even in his speaking voice.
Nicely done, boys. The music of Buffalo Springfield still holds up strongly, the debut disc is a classic.
I first got BS’s RETROSPECTIVE....then ditched it for the source material -all 3 albums-loaded with gems.
@@danjestic9199 I'm glad you think so. I think their debut album was one of the finest rock debuts ever.
I wanted more after hearing it. I thought it a shame when the band broke up, leaving only the three
records, but it was better than fading away with mediocre material. I got to see BS two days after
buying that disc...54 years ago.
Loved listening to all of this. Especially appreciated Bruce Palmer's speech 💬. He was always my favorite member of Buffalo 🐃 Springfield. Rest in peace ✌ my precious Bruce Palmer.
What the fuck is Bruce Palmer babbling about??
"Neil couldn't be here... Principal is the fact...You guys know what I'm talkin about..."
Somebody translate his incoherence.
It must've been nerve-racking for him to do that. He was the quiet one. I don't think I could've done any better if I were in the same position.
So Rich..He quit again...classic!
I knew Bruce Palmer, yup that's what he was like.
Great bassist, one of a kind talent
Not many people, alive at least, even realize that the Springfield's biggest hit, "For What It's Worth," was NOT written about the Vietnam War, but actually about a peaceful demonstration in front of tiny little nightclub for teens called, "Pandora's Box," which was later torn down. I was sixteen then, and was arrested three blocks from the scene on the way back to my 1953 Chevy when a sheriff in riot gear arrested me for being out after curfew (only 10PM in those days), summarily throwing me in jail. The reason for our demonstration was to protest police brutality, and I witnessed a lot of it that night, a pretty horrific experience for someone on their very first acid trip. Many decades later, I actually met and became friends with Dewey Martin their drummer, who had happily beat alcohol addiction with the help of AA, leaving this life clean and sober. He was a good man.
Actually, Steven said that it was written about both. He inititially started writing it for "the guys on the line" in Vietnam and then one evening when he was driving down the Sunset Strip, he encountered the famous police riot and used that as additional inspiration to finish the song.
I believe Fortunate Son was expressly written for Vietnam movies when the shit got real. For What It’s Worth was written before and after going through when the shit gets real. White Rabbit was written for recovering from everything. Hello, I Love You was for the brothel scenes when the GI’s hooked up with whores.
Neil didn’t show up because it wasn’t about him and him only. He wasn’t “feeling” it, I’m sure. Heaven forbid the day comes when the people he bails on, bail on him. Life can be funky.
Mermaid might leave him soon as that Will ink is dry. He's Only about the Music, She's "Only in it for The Money"...
Ha😅
No… Neil was suffering from his own form of Drunk Neanderthalism…
Bruce is one of my heroes & was an incredible phenomenon on bass. Sure wish I'd seen him play.
i met someone who hired him and dewey for a canadian band.
Buffalo Springfield played after receiving the award and Bruce just stood there on stage. No bass. Nothing. He looked silly.
@@Better_Call_Raul
By then much substance abuse. When playing he was untouchable.
If you’re wondering what Stephen means when he says Neil quit again: Neil left the band in the middle of a tour because he didn’t want to do the Monterey pop festival,then he left in the middle of a Stills-Young Band tour, and then he didn’t show up for the rock and roll hall of fame
famously walked off mid set during the 70 tour that eventually became 4 way street---walked off the concert in Chicago at the Auditorium. Walked away from a couple marriages too. Guess Geniuses are like that, dont have much use for real relationships---for him "its ALL about the Music"...like being a junkie.
Was at the Chicago Auditorium show. He kept complaining about all the pot smoke wafting over him while he played on the piano. We're like, ya it's the 70's and we're at a Neil Young concert! Another $3.50 down the drain
These guys definitely deserve it. I am glad they received it in ‘97 and are not still waiting for it.
Why do they deserve it? Only three albums and two hits.
Furay seems like the real deal. Nice that he can hold his views and Stills can hold his and that they can still relate and play together is what unity truly is. Be nice to get back to being able to love and respect one another and not have to be clones of each other to do it.
Thank you.
Reality check!
Two years late in seeing this! Althoguh I think he's mellowed out a bit in later years, Stills was obviously a difficult guy a lot of the time. Richie is famously easygoing and positive in addition to being genuine. I'm sure a personality like Steve's benefits greatly from the non-musical aspects of Richie's personality! Glad they are still able to maintain that friendship nearly 60 years later!
One of the greatest bands of All-Time.
I listened to their songs a lot when I was in my teens, in the 1970s. While watching youtube videos of their reunion shows I was reminded of how excellent they are. I can only think of one other band as influential in such a short time, Cream. That's elite company.
❤ this group was off the chain love Katrina 🎉
I SAW THE SATURDAY SHOW -- SHORELINE -- BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD -- ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE SHOWS I HAVE EVER SEEN , HISTORIC , AND I HAVE SEEN EVERYBODY -- I WATCHED KEITH MOON DIE ON THE COW PALACE STAGE , ALTAMONT SPEEDWAY 12/6/69 , MONTEREY POP , I HAD T-BONE WALKER AT MY CABIN PLAYING MY PIANO , YES HE COULD PLAY 88'S -- QUITE WELL ..
Think if the bands that evolved from Buffalo Springfield.
Crosby, Stills and Nash, Crosby Stills Nash and Young.
Poco, The Souther Hillman and Furay band.
Can we get an Incredible Awesome!
First time I ever heard Bruce palmer talk
So much in the way of unbelievable talent their songs were such a nice back drop for growing up,and so many great lyrics.I am glad I was young at such a time of change,and awareness.
He should run for Congress … the first guy.
Saw them live at the Cheetah Night club in Santa Monica on New Year’s eve 1967. Neil Young managed to make it that night. What an asshole for missing the hall of fame induction of his best band ever, The Buffalo Springfield. Their music inspired me to get home alive from Vietnam Nam on Veteran’s Day, November 11th 1969. I proudly wore my uniform home that day and was called a war monger. I was also spit on. That was my welcome home. Nevertheless, what a great band. God bless the USA.
Thank you for your service.
Mr. Martin I am so sorry how you were treated after your sacrifice for us. I'm a child of the 60s. Was born in 1969 and I am a college professor and neuroscientist. I spend much time educating my students about how awful Veterans were treated after Vietnam. It was a disgrace. Thank you for your service and sacrifice to our country. I loved the music of Buffalo Springfield. In the 80s and early 90,s, my Generation, Gen X, learned about what happened by your own generation and what a disgrace they were. Thank you again. And I am glad you survived. You have my gratitude!
Unfortunately too many of us from the protest side of that generation had no Idea what you and your brothers went through. Me, being from a family defined by military service (I have a second or third generation ancestor who was in George Washington's personal guard at Valley Forge and my first ancestor here fought in the Narragansett Wars-in short many in my family served), I had a different view. Many of my friends from HS died or were wounded in Vietnam and having been lied to myself by more than one recruiter, I did protest but never showed the stupidity of animus to returning soldiers. Many of us actually wanted you home and out of harm's way. Those of us who thought about it knew you had no choice but to obey orders once you were there. I'm sorry you went through that.
I was an anti vietnam war protester. I wanted our military out of vietman. I was anti war, NOT anti soldiers. Ive never met anyone who was against our soldiers or treated them badly when thry came home. I know alot of vietnam vets, husband being one. None were spat on. Very sad and wrong it happened to anyone
You are the first person I've been in contact with that actually was spit upon. And frankly what's stupid practice. It wasn't like most people wanted to go there! It was a difficult time and I'm glad you made it back.
“When we ran amuck on Sunset Strip”. Yep, I can relate.
FKK LA --- WE REAL HIPPIES WERE IN HAIGHT ASHBURY --- THAT LA CRAP WAS A BUNCH OF WANNA-BES
Neil has let a lot of people down over the years. Many times he would split right before a huge gig.
I'm glad you said that. He bailed on Stills during their Stills/Young tour. Left Stephen twisting in the wind.
He's Neil Young what's your excuse?LOL! haaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I don’t like that about Neil-a commitment phobe. Irresponsible in my book. then he wants friends to help with that Bridge school benefit he leads.
I understand why he bailed. He's an old soul. He doesn't like constant chaos.
Agreed. Quite narcissistic sometimes. He leaves a band as he pleases
Not sure why Jim Messina wasn't here. He produced 2 albums and was their last bass player after Palmer had a drug arrest.
The Eagles invited everyone that played with them which was classy.
Loved CSN. Loved Young and Crazy Horse. Buffalo Springfield came first and were distinctly different. The best:
forgot to thank chris hillman of the byrds! got them their first gig!
And Ahmet Ertegun, who I think signed them. And while that two years passed, they worked a grueling performance and touring schedule, paying the same dues that any band in LA at that time had to, just to keep themselves in the game. An awful lot of pressure, and one little misstep such as with money and or management and a band could be yesterday's news, as soon as tomorrow.
Oh shit when Still says "Hey Rich he quit again"!
Still jealous of Neil and he should be, Stills was done at Woodstock.
@@dean7454 It's about making a commitment and then backing out after everyone else was invested in seeing it happen. And it's about not just doing this once or twice, but many times, both to BS and to Stills individually (when Neil just decided to stop showing up, without warning, at booked "Still-Young Band" concerts in the 70s). And it happened to these guys again after this, most recently a couple years ago. It's not about Neil Young being the most talented musician in this group -- I personally think he is myself. It's about taking advantage of the fact that you are so talented so you can do inconsiderate shit to the people whom you called friends (and even wife) ... over and over and over again. Because you can get away with it.
Neil Young is one of my favorite musical artists of all time, but he's a failure as a human being. Oh the irony of how critical and unforgiving he is of his own father, for sins not half as bad or frequent as his own.
Poco got boned on that tour too because they were the opening act.
Couldn't agree more. I've made very similar postings myself about Neil, who is my favorite musical artist of all time. Letting people down seems to be a consistent pattern
in his professional life. I remember reading about his "Stills-Young Band" abandonment in Rolling Stone in mid tour, he supposedly sent a telegram to Stills that said "Eat a Peach, Neil". WTF is that, exactly? And he can't even show up to be inducted with his bandmates? I guess it was "beneath him" to be inducted as part of a group.
Well, I got news for Neil, he was never as good as he was when he was a part of that band. And not that he wasn't great as a solo or with the Horse, he was.
Whatever it was, it was an insult to those inductees, and they had a right to be upset.
Bruce Palmer was the real deal!
Yes he was.
Love this.
A great band and their hits album "Restrospective" is one great album.
It is a great album. It's one of the few "greatest hits" albums that I own alongside the actual studio albums. It's track sequence is an album all it's own.
@pete chau - So true. I wore that 8-track out. Not a bad song on that album. 💜💜
Check out their box set. A whole lot of talent
Buffalo Springfield were booked on The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson. They had a number 1 hit. Then, Neil Young decided he would not play that gig. A crushing blow to the band.
NEIL IS A " PSYCHO "
For how much my younger self loved Neil's music, the man himself becomes more and more of a turd in my eyes the older I get.
Neil young has given us much good music, and crushed the groove of his band mates again and again. He thinks it's ok because it's always "about the music." Nothing personal. I'll bet his mates felt it personally.
I didn't know Al Pacino was the drummer.
Stills said it best!!
Oh Bruce 😂
This is a gift.
I saw this on TV in 1997. A lot got edited out.
Guy Sharwood, I bet!
Giving thanks to the Lord....wow...Powerful...
Well, he is an ordained minister.
@@mc76 Well, he "was" a drug infested man of the world...Finding redemption is a powerful thing...
Audience should have applauded when he mentioned the Lord. Regardless of individual belief, it is the polite thing to do. Instead, there was dead silence like he said something offensive.
Ritchie Furay is a Minister.
His calm and caring helped to get the Reunion concerts become a reality, not the quixotic junk, that tore them apart.
@@virginiamiller9765 It takes a very special personality to remain on good terms with the egos of Young and Stills for nearly 60 years!
After all Steve has been through at the hands of BOTH Neil AND David (Much Talent, Much baggage), he had the right to a cute little one-liner at Neil's expense.
I love when the camera cuts to James Taylor just laughing n shit
Bruce Palmer, great bassist underrated and one of Neil's best friends, i think what Bruce was trying to say is Neil dosent dig being on TV shows and cameras and stuff.
@Timothy Orten he quit buffalo Springfield the day before the Johnny Carson tv show and refused to be filmed in Woodstock movie
he thinks the HOF is a joke too, thus "his principles."
I think the issue here isn't his (supposed) preference to not be on camera -- which I sincerely question, seeing as how I've seen him even on Charlie Rose, to push his iTunes music service competitor maybe a decade after this -- it's that he *repeatedly* SAYS he will show up for something, and then leaves everyone twisting at the last minute ... over ... and over ...
Ok Dr Kevin. But he still tours, made a Harvest Moon video, appeared in a segment on a Brian Wilson DVD....”and stuff....” with cameras. Please.
@@danjestic9199 ok fair enough but neil likes things like that on HIS terms
Young reminds me of Kareem Jabbar, who, when Charles Barckley came up to introduce himself, said "I'm reading", and didn't look up.
“ He quit again!” 😂😂😂😃😃😀
Hay Steve; my fax said EAT A PEACH, howabout yours?
Great great band! 🎤🎶🎸🇺🇸
How the hell can this start without identifying who is present and speaking?!
BAD EDIT..DEWEY TOM N BRUCE ARE DEAD NOW
Thanks to Jesus Christ
this was 24 years ago
were they talking about Neil perhaps?
Count on Stills to be the one to say it 🤣
The Lord can do amazing things.
Amen.
where's the tractor?
Neil Young was a quitter and a no-show many times with the various groups he was a part of. He sort of wandered away often.
Stills and Young have been down many roads together and has always been the Victim of NY’s ego and very bizarre opinion of himself regarding his superior importance to the groups he has been a part of. That being said, Springfield was one of the most influential bands coming out of Laurel Canyon, for that, we should all be very grateful, enough Said.
I don't just think, I know Stephen Stills deserves a Purple Heart, for dealing with Neal junkie 1, then David junkie 2.
Stephen was the Captain that kept them together, and helped make it work.
Credit where it is well due,
Stephen Stills.
@@virginiamiller9765 Neil has never been a junkie. Lots of other things, but never heroin. He couldn't even use psychedelics due to experiencing seizures (he tried when he was younger, with very bad results, and apparently never touched them agian). He was into drinking, pot and coke.
For what it's worth.................
This is your brain when the drugs run out ...
Bruce's legacy:
E E E E B E
BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD WERE GOING TO REFORM IN 1986 , PRACTICED AT STEPHENS HOUSE AND THEN -- -NEIL DISAPPEARED ..
Yeah...ok. You guys rocked in the 60s, before JC joined the he band.
wow man......acid does destroy the mind.
I like poco the best
Where is Neil?
Wow the brown acid wasn't any good!
Eclipsed by CSN & CSNY, but still a superb band in their own right.
Where is Jim Messina
Neil didnt want to be there. Big deal. Why spend time talking about it. Was Neil's choice. Doesn't detract from the music he gave us
Every year the peace and love generation spend two months arguing who screwed who over money and why their not showing up.
@@tomb4575 ✌ ❤...😀
I am probably in the minority here but i have never cared for that guy that did not show up and find it more enjoyable without his presence. how old can one get and still take themselves so seriously.
PERSONALLY NEIL IS A JAKASS -- MUSICALLY HES A GENIUS , OR WAS ...
what the hell was the dude on?
Hey Rich, he quit again.
Neil reminds me of my Donkey’s bray !!!
I see why Neil didn't show.
Me too!
CARE 2 elaborate on that??
everybody gets a trophy in the RNR HOF. Now, let's go get some ice cream.
Love all these guys, but Neil is right, sometimes.
Neil has given much to the world of music. He was a bit flighty it so seems in his earlier days and for me, my opinion of course; his political ideology is so bizarre and lacks logic to the point it makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth. But still his music endures and many of his words in his music has touched my soul and I respect him for that.
Where was he for the working man, during the Truckers Strike in Canada? Too busy crying about Joe Rogan and Spotify--so much for his "man of the people" facade--didnt want to upset his good buddy up there Trudeau. Lost me Neil...who cares.
notice how when Richie thanks Christ, hardly anyone claps?
Enter by the narrow gate for few are those that find it. Christ is the narrow gate.
Get off the broad road that leads to destruction. Mt 7:14
F*** Christ
Amen!!
Why does Neil always ruin things by not being there. Didn't want to do the Tonight Show, Didn't want to do Monterey. Stephen said it best.
But did his own gig on SNL...all about the Music and all about Neil, all the time. then didnt do sqaut when his piano player producer Jack Nietzche beat his former wife, mother of his son, Carrie Snodgress with the butt end of a pistol--coward. He needed Jack for the music, so thats how that stuff works for Neil.
f Neil......again? Everybody but you.... What a guy. You showed up for the Last Waltz, right Neil?
With specs of Coke hanging out of his nostrils----watch the film. Anything for Bob.
Nice to hear Furay and Martin give praises to God. Seems like Palmer still had a drug problem back then. And Stills joke about Young was great. Too bad this band didn’t last longer, but it deserved to be placed in the Hall of Fame.
NEIL HAS BEEN A TURKEY SINCE DAY 1 ---- REMEMBER WHEN HE GAVE ME A BAD CHECK ?? -- TRUE STORY
Never expected all the religious stuff. Oh well. Band was great back in day.
I sure did from Ritchie-he's been a minister for decades
Why do you care what their personal lives are? Didn't they-and don't they still-give us the gift of their music?
@@lous5442 they disclosed their personal lives w acceptance speech
@@lastnamefirst4035 And in that venue they should be judged only by their music. Common courtesy-as has been practiced in the US-says that we accept others for the PERSON they are. Negative remarks about a person's religion are completely against the founding tenets of our country.
So a rock and roller is religious, who cares?
@@lous5442 i dont care. I was only responding to the other comments and also noted that r furay is a minister and has been for decades. His Christianity is far more important than music to him but as a fan of BS I dont care about his or their personal life
Crazy Horse should be elected.
Dude…Lose the Afghan rug dealer look….
They all talk like they are on something...so sad.
Marble mouth Stills, high on something. He loved him some speed, would be up for weeks in the studio on it---rotted his teeth early in life. Got new ones later and a hair line too. Tom Petty looked shaky back there too.
1967-2022 nothing learnt.
Not like Richie or any other members of Buffalo Springfield to say a bad thing about Neil Young but I'm not a member, a fan. Neil Young is really a schmuck! One man's opinion.
When you’re part of a team and consistently tank, run off, or let them down, you get no respect here.
Make that two men's opinion.
Stills forever . Neil not so much
So, why wasn't Neil there???
Bc he didnt want to be. Big deal
This was the first year that the ceremony was televised and Young thought it compromised the event.
@@lilliebelle7233 why should he do anything else?
because he likes to draw attention to himself.
Who cares
Does a band with a two year lifespan really belong in the Hall of fame?
When they were game changers - yes!
@@allenf.5907 Indeed!
THEIR two years? Absolutely.
@@linjicakonikon7666 There are hundreds of bands that we can say had a great two year run. Two years is not hall of fame worthy, with very VERY rare exceptions.
Yes
BEING A JESUS FREAK LOOKS PRETTY GOOD NOW --- RITCHIE COMPARED TO INCOHERENT BRUCE
He speaks like Biden.
Who? Bruce?
Lol
Maybe but compared to trump he sounds super articulate
They aged really badly for 29 years since the split
Canadian band that gave us Steve Stills.
Moby Grape and The Byrd's music holds up well;
The Springfield unfortunately not so much.
Nowadays Clancy can't even sing
Ritchie could not be a bigger schmuck. jebuz, jebuz, jebuz. still trying to prove a point, he just won't let up with it. then Stills shows him how it's done. kudos Steve!
Nice to see Stephen got his teeth fixed. Watching him with those choppers at Woodstock was frightening.
These guys are cool, though not as significant or important as STATUS QUO!!!!!
QUO WILL NEVER BE IN THE HALL OF FAME BECAUSE THEY ARE WAY TOO GOOD.
LONG LIVE THE MIGHTY STATUS QUO.
THE BEST AND GREATEST ROCK BAND OF ALL TIME.
