I turn 70 this year. The incredible musicians and lyricists of this era became such a formative piece of the tapestry of my life that I have a deep gratitude in my heart for all of them.

Thank you for this video! I’m 69, loved Buffalo Springfield and followed Stephen’s amazing career and transitions throughout the years. What an amazing time to grow up with this music and living in California! ✌🏼

Enjoyed your video. I spent most of 1966 with Neil. I just sent the video to Dickie Davis. I loved that you started with Dickie. I was at the Buffalo's first Hollywood audition at the Trip. Neil moved in with me and my roommate Donna, at the Commodore Gardens, a day or two later. From them on we were always together. We all had Thanksgiving Dinner (1966) at Dickie's. I do have a book/film about 1966 with the Buffalo and The Doors. Also others, I worked at the Whisky.

I’m 68 and grew up with these bands , I loved the info on the Buffalo Springfield steam roller connection. Never stop learning!!

This video is like putting a name to a face when getting to meet someone in person for the first time. Meaningful, valuable, and alive.

My old stomping grounds. I saw all of those bands many times. Neil Young picked me up hitchiking in Topanga Canyon. The last time that I saw Buffalo Springfield was Feb. '67 at the Valley Music Theater in Woodland Hills. They were billed with the Byrds, Peter Paul & Mary, and a band I had never heard of named the Doors. Those were the days. I'm an old geezer now but still on that bus.

Neil bought my dads 48 Lincoln Continental. I was 10 when my dad asked me if I ever heard of him. I listened to the Beatles, stones, and monkeys. Never heard of the Buffalo Springfield. He asked my dad if it was cool to look at the car, he had long hair. He bought the car , came back the next day to pick up the car with a few members of b.s. Very cool memories.

Love how Tim makes rock history come alive. Buffalo Springfield is one of my favorites and their music never gets old.
-
Thanks again Tim for taking me back to my high school days….graduated in 69. Loved Buffalo Springfield & saw them in late 68 at The Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino. I grew up about an hour East of Los Angeles, Fontana which was pretty cool in the 60’s & early 70’s. All the rock bands came to the Swing, including the Stones twice! I’m going back & trying to catch up on all your older videos, every single one is excellent, thank you.

I'm 75 and grew up listening to Buffalo Springfield. The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield are my two favorite bands.
-
Never get tired of listening to BS or Poco, Tim...I can listen to them anytime of the day and they take me back to a special time when the desire for peace and brotherhood was in the air...maybe a good time to recount those days!
-
Thank you so much for doing this the Buffalo Springfield was one of the greatest bands ever! It's amazing nobody ever did a documentary about them! Apparently Richie Furay has one in the works, thank you so much for your effort man much appreciated!
-
As a guy who graduated from high school in Ventura County in 1968 I hereby assert that the Buffalo Springfield were the Yardbirds of Southern California.
-
My favorite episode yet, thanks!
-
When I go on a road trip I always listen to Buffalo Springfield Again. I’ve been looking for the long version of Bluebird for 50 years. Love this group.
-
You have a great speaking voice and a lively presentation...a band I knew a little about but not much! When you said "sixty years ago"...wow.
-
They were very important in the whole music scene back then. They’re still important In music history. I saw them here in the east, Hartford CT. In 1967. The 2nd album is my all time favorite. Expecting to fly still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
