anybody interested in the springfield, read the book HOTEL CALIFORNIA. its is about what was going on in the LA/laurel canyon scene during the 60's and 70's. it has crosby,stills,nash,and young, the eagles, the buffalo, the hollies, and others. it is a very interesting read.......please check it out. i cant think of the author off hand but if you will check out barnes &nobles's website and look up hotel california, you should have no problem finding it.
There's also a book called 'Laurel Canyon' by Michael Walker that covers the canyon from the mid-60's up until the late 80's or early 90's.... I haven't read 'Hotel California' but if you can't find it check out this one.
What a song, what a hit. The lyrics defeat time itself as this song could be applied to the events of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. The entire world needs to hear this song and fully understand this.
It's not that you believe in a complete fabrication, but the fact that even as someone who does believe in 'god,' you only say bless America, instead of the entire world.
That's pretty selfish if you ask me, yet you think the entire world should hear this song?
they obviously recorded it in thefirst place so who cares if this particular time it is mimed this is 1960's tv and probably more than one band played that night som setting up their own equipment to play live on tv is just not practical.its the same reason top of the pops was mimed all the time its because its live and lots of bands using the same stage
They're goofing around with it, but all of these shows from this era were lipsynced. I love watching these old videos but it is kind of ruined by being fake. Maybe we should start cutting Brittany and Ashlee some slack.
u r 100%right. for a lot of acts to sing live the studio woyuld need setting up for hours ok if only one person is performing but normally tv shows have several people on it or groups whatever so acctually doing it live on tv is not possible like britney on x factor for example...not possible on live tv
Perhaps I should clarify that I meant that it was good to see them having a little fun while miming to the track, as opposed to countless other bands who make every effort to ensure that their "performance" appears real to the viewers.
One of the great "what ifs" in rock history. What if this band had stayed together... On the other hand that would mean a world without CSN or CSNY, Neil's solo career and, of course, Poco. Maybe it's just as well they broke up.
This is the studio version they lip sync to it for the tv show you can see how they make fun of it when neil young takes his hands of the guitar as the soo is still playing
It's amazing how much music changed, like looking at them, and the way they play (Not the sound, how their playing) is waaay different then now-a-days.
I grew up listening to this music. Unless you lived at the time when Vietnam was the hot-button war that it finally because, it's hard to understand, why kids decide to really question what in the heck adults are doing!
Of course many groups sprang out of this group of musicians. Really, it was an exhilarating time to be alive in America.
No, I almost never listen to this music anymore now. Times have changed greatly since the 1960s believe me.
My dad plays this song all the time; I LOVE OLDIES MUSIC. This song can get stuck in your head forever and it won't be annoying like some really pop cultural songs of today.
this song was written about the riots on sunset blvd. in hollywood in 1966?? i was there, but can't remember the reason we were in the streets protesting b4 the cops smashed us up....something about pandora's box???..the nightclub there?? can't remember.

Buffalo Springfield may not have lasted, however the last time I checked Neil Young and Stephen Stills were still around. Broken Arrow is an excellent tune, if you have never listened, you should.
I beg to differ. They were exactly on time. They would be on time today but we had them as hippies. Besides, if they were still around today then we wouldn't have had Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
The blonde singing, Stephen Stills, wrote it about the protest that took place on the Sunset Strip about the closing of Pandora's Box, a club that was a hot spot at the time.
Saw Crosby, Stills & Nash perform this song last night at Wolf Trap in Vienna, Virginia. Stephen Stills is just recovering from prostate cancer surgery - God bless the three of them still performing after 40 years. The words of this song pertain to today's events. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
This tune really went with what was happening in those days remember them well. We had big balls in those days and we did change a few things with our crys for peace and sanity allot of us got our heads busted up also
Anybody know what show this was from?? I'm hoping someone will post the "Mannix" TV show from 67 that had the Springfield playing as a bar band in one scene..I hope I'll be able to tell Mike Connors from Richie Furay...
Buffalo Springfield was one of those bands in the '60s where TOO MUCH TALENT in one band made the whole thing implode. Three albums were released but really only two albums were recorded as a complete working unit. Even the 2nd record, "Buffalo Springfield Again," was recorded with all members pushing for their individual stamp on each song. Springfield couldn't last and neither could Cream. But what a lasting effect they left on us all! Amen!
Stephen Stills wrote this song in response to a riot he witnessed when a local bar was closed and some people could not get in. The lyrics, then, are not anti-war, but an account of Stills' impressions as he watched a bunch of punk drunks violently disturb the peace over trivia. These facts do not minimize the status of this classic song of the 1960's.
Well yourmybestfriend101, you've got Stephen Stills, the blonde on guitar and vocals. The dude with all the fringe would be Neil Young, the preppy looking guitarist in the back would be Ritchie Furray, the drummer (sporting an Angels hat none the less) would be Dewey Martin. Now the bass player to the far right is Jim Fielder who WAS NOT an actual member of the band but a fill in for bassist Bruce Palmer who was deported to Canada on a pot charge. Bruce came back June '67 but then Neil left!
I agree with you on always hearing the same songs....like they always play Born To Be Wild. Like there were only 5 or 6 songs that were written in the sixties......
as much as i love this song anytime theres anything to do with the 70's hippy or revolution this song pops up kinda sad how over the years and all these artists theres only a small majority of songs with a meaniniful message!!
