    the group just had too much dadgum talent, too many great song writers, too many wonderful singers, too many fabulous guitar players–combined with King Kong ambitions and egos it just couldn't last, collapsing under it's own weight

    Thank you Abby! Wow, I didn't think anyone else even knew who Buffalo Springfield was! My taste in music is quite different than most. Buffalo Springfield Again is one of my favorite albums. I would definitely have to put it in my top 20 all-time favorites. Purchased my vinyl copy when It was first released. I didn't know the story behind the band, musician and songs so I really appreciate all the background and insight. Expecting to Fly is my favorite tune on this album and Kind Woman on Last Time around, which led me to becoming a full-blown Poco nut! LIke with the Beatles it would be hard for me to pick a favorite Poco album. Of course I have a lot of Neil Young and CSN&Y vinyl. Anyway, Brilliant, Abby, thanks again!

    Great overview Abigail but – Quibble! No mention of one of my favorite Neil Young guitar moments – the deep reverb electric which seeps into Sad Memory half way through. I Love that. Is it only me?

    BS should have carried on as Stills-Young-Furay plus session musicians willing to tour, but who could be replaced. This is how CSNY proceeded with Dallas Taylor and Greg Reeves, both eventually axed for cause. Too much misguided democracy in keeping Bruce and Dewey.

    Thanks for opening a door into a great album. Will you evet interview any of the members ? I saw the reunion tour, it was excellent. Are you going to review the Pantages bootleg (-:

    Hearing you talk about Expecting To Fly got me a little watery-eyed, even moreso when you did as well. It's my favorite Springfield song along with Broken Arrow. Thank the Gods you feel the same about that underrated masterpiece of a gem (especially the "Babe" part. I always thought the same thing) . I've always wondered if the Flaming Lips hot inspiration from that song for "Do You Realize?!" It's trying to sound so similar. Anyway, it's a true Neil Young gem and probably the best B. Springfield song and I'll die on that hill.

    I wish Neil would have completed that jazz snippet on the end of “Broken Arrow”. It’s really good and he never ventured into jazz. Would have been interesting to hear.

    I didn't become aware of any of these songs or the various groups these guys were in until I went off to college. In my senior year I had friends who shared their records with me. They included all of Neil Young's albums up to 1972.

    For What It's Worth …Some Additional Info
    Last Time Around May have been a contractual release however it was important showing the pathways of Stephen Stills and Neil Young
    Stills Special Care with it's organ based lead pointed toward The Band's influence
    The track Questions was later repurposed as the Coda/Refrain for CSNY Carry-on
    Neil Young's I Am a Child is the template for Harvest.
    Stills Uno Mundo and Pretty Girl Why would show his Hispanic/Latin Background
    In Addition There were some interesting covers by unlikely artists
    Fanny would cover Special Care on their Charity Ball album with a more R&B Garage take
    After covering the Byrds I See You on their debut
    Yes would revisit Laurel Canyon and do their version of Stills Everyday on Time and a Word
    Finally Midwest Garage Band The Jaggerz would do a Full Copy of Neil's Mr Soul
    To finish up The Long Ryders First Album Cover was a Homage to The Stampede Album Cover.
    Can't Wait to See What Artists You'll be Covering Again.

    I was a pre teen when I heard songs from csny and a certain guitarist and singer caught my ear , which at that time I was only listening to the Beatles and stones, in my world no one else mattered then I heard hendrix and of course Neil Young after I researched who he was , then I went back to Buffalo Springfield years later , his solo career with crazy horse , and who knew he hooked up with Mr super freak himself before the navy arrested him for awol , I've been a Neil Young fan for decades, he's his own man , unique vocals, guitarist, songwriter, arranger , producer, I saw him in concert in upstate new york around 1998 , he stopped the show because the sound wasn't to his liking, the crew fixed it then he continued , Neil is a chameleon he can play anything, he earned it and he could care less about it ❤from NY

    This is a great album. Any album that has expecting to fly, bluebird and rock and roll woman is a classic. You shouldn't dismiss Pickin up the Pieces by Poco and Kind Woman on the last album. Richie has a beautiful voice. But my favourite is Flying on the Ground is Wrong. The melody is so touching.

    Poco’s recorded versions of Kind Woman, Child’s Claim to Fame and Go and Say Goodbye are my favorite; Poco also performed “On the Way Home” often throughout every iteration, which might be my favorite Springfield song.

    I heard this album for the first time while I was on a plane, I knew some traks but not Broken arrows, it was fantastic, hearing that while I was watching (between) the clouds… WOW

    Wow! You have really done your homework and put the package together in a very enjoyable and informative way! You have mentioned, in passing, some of your sources, but as a long time student of this band, its members, and its offshoots, I’d sure like to see the full list! ❤ Think about it! 🎉😊

    Been hotter than a hookers door knob on $20 Tuesdays
    I’m such a fan of your history of expression
    You should have billions of subs
    I couldn’t find your pod on pandora or Amazon prime music
    Forgive a boomer
    You certainly taught me so very much including that the Mc5 pretty much started punk
    For me the very best punk songs of all time are “ Precious “ and “Tattoo lover boys” From the pretenders first album

    I didn’t realize that Bluebird and Mr. Soul weren’t national hits- they were regional hits in L A back in the day. On YouTube you can find really long versions of Bluebird. Thanks for the video . . And whatever became of Stampede?

    Great stuff, Abigail!
    I grew up in Marin and went to The Ark in 1966. Saw Buffalo Springfield but don't think they were with Moby Grape — I remember an all-female band called The Freudian Slips as the opening act.
    Wish you had talked a bit more about the 3 versions of "Bluebird." ATCO put out a single that was roughly 2 minutes long. You say it was a flop, but it got a lot of airplay in the Bay Area.
    The version on Buffalo Springfield Again, with the banjo and final verse was a great disappointment to me — for months I had heard an 8- or 9-minute version on local "Underground" FM station KSAN and was hoping to have that epic jam on a record. Not sure why they let a radio station play the rave-up and didn't release it until 1973.

    After watching one of your videos, I am able to revisit an album I've listened to for years, with a fresh perspective, like I'm hearing for the first time again. Thank you so much that, Abigail.
