Buffalo Springfield - Questions

[TheKeshachick]

i like it i just found this old record that was Buffalo Springfield and there pretty cool.

[SpencerSpats]

I love Buffalo Springfield. Always have, always will.

This track has a different, and better, feel than it's sister, "Carry On."

[Anglynn74]

I wish Stephen Still was on Facebook!  annother amazing song from my favorite band of all time

[skypilot5280]

I hear the "Let It Rain" by Clapton in here too.

[gondi4707]

mmm.......Where's Mo???

[Rogerm3856]

Video is shit, but music is great!

[4everClassicrock]

@Rogerm3856 its not always about the video..but its always about the music ~~~ 

[LennonMoonPlant]

Anyone else think this sounds a lot like Let It Rain by Clapton? Or is that just me?

[MariesTake]

@wormpiano,

I can't agree more. WHAT lyrics and what lyricism! Someone start a BS radio station???



[cdl2400]

Shitty day + this song= No more shitty day

[Kakiat]

"Again" and "Last Time Around" each have uniquely inspired tracks and probably Stills' best work, before the Crosby-Nash influence- His guitar work on "Questions", "Uno Mundo" and "Special Care" was genius

[muziktrkr]

Last Time Around gets overlooked - Neil Young pretty much disowned it and didn't feature it on the box set, but early versions of songs that would be on their other albums moving forward.

[kstrehlo]

It's not exactly an early version of Carry On. That CSN tune was called Carry On/Questions. Stills tagged the older tune onto the end of a new one.

[TuneInTurnOnDropOutt]

Early version of Carry On! Great stuff

[dkel252]

When I was on my own

Chasing You down,

What was it made You wrong,

Trying Your best just to get around

The Questions of a thousand dreams

[petsounds75]

I heard this song for the first time just recently and thought, "Hey, I know this...somewhat...I think". Had no idea it was the blueprint for Carry On.

[sparkyization]

Not just our Leatherneck compadres but with the grunts and tankers too of the lean mean green fighting machine, U.S. Army ! HOOah! OORah!!

Thanx', Bro'! Great post! !;-D

[owbyken]

A very popular tune among certain Marines in RVN.

[tupelo563]

Fantastic bassline!!!! And folks that IS Bruce Palmer doing what he did best!!!!

[Burt472]

masterpiece

[Ptrgamb]

Terrific bassline on this one, plus one of the best performances by Stills

[acoronab]

@stoopidryan8 "my generation IS paying for previous generations" I hope you're referring to the ecological damage on earth, the only ones that really matter at this point. And I hope you're not blaming hippies for those... At least they loved nature! As a matter of fact they loved it so much they had to smoke it, haw haw

[stoopidryan8]

@acoronab nope, i was referring to a comment somebody left that stated

"my generation is paying for your generation's short comings. Pot smoker."

i'm not a hippy and i don't smoke pot, but i still thought it was a ridiculous comment.

[zendishwasher2]

@stoopidryan8 excuse me you wont have a generation without my short comings, maybe you should pull your head out off your ass and do something about it rather than whine.we opened the door now you have to step through it.

[stoopidryan8]

@zendishwasher2 again, i was replying to a comment someone else left, and was pointing out that anger at a generation in general really shouldn't be directed at an artist just for living in that time frame. or any non-artist for that matter.

your generation didn't open doors.

people who lived in your generation may have,yes. but your generation as a whole didn't. no generation does. it isn't a collective age group that invents, expounds, expands, or enhances ideas. i owe your generation nothing

[bendbadgersteve]

Great song. The twelve-string intro is cool. Copped a bunch of from this for CarryOn/Questions on Deja Vu. The Springfield B.S. actually shows a few. Country Girl was originally worked out during the Springfield days.

One of the seminal Five "B"s-Beatles, Byrds, Buffalo Springfield, Band and Beach Boys. All of them just way out in front of most.

[MacGrurry]

Spring field!!!!!!!!!!

[Reed104]

might the best song they ever recorded

[popwarskatemore7]

love the bassline, love the guitar, love the vocals, love this whole damn song

most of all I love this band and everything that it became!

[milkgodnl]

i always *Loved* this version moreso than the later one by CSNY.

[jf99151]

I'm sure they must have some bad feelings against hunters and non hippie americans. I could be wrong. I find it funny their name comes from the Springfield Arms buffalo hunting rifles of olde.

[dacat58]

@jf99151 They got their name from the Buffalo-Springfield Steam Roller Co. not a firearms company, one was parked on the street outside the house Stills and Furay were living in when they formed the band. I don't think they have bad feelings against non hippies or hunters just ignorant and closed minded people like yourself.

[jf99151]

@dacat58 SHH !! your showing your abrasiveness, my generation is paying for your generation's short comings. Pot smoker. Where you get your info from a Buffallo Springfield handbook ?

[stoopidryan8]

@jf99151 my generation IS paying for previous generations' fuck ups. but i don't think that anyone can single out a musician or collective of musicians to put blame on. why not just say that hip hop is responsible for drive by shootings? i hope that my children and their children don't ever accuse me of ruining their world because my ideals as a young man don't align with their future ideals. we weren't there.

[stoopidryan8]

@stoopidryan8 further, i'd say mr. young and mr. stills were more freaks than hippies at the time. my generation is still dealing with the mess left behind by glue and coke sniffing purveyors of hair metal. but i don't blame Motley Crue or Van Halen or Poison for it. i just blame them for playing shit music.

[buzzbeaver]

Springfield is Love

[Asskicker32294]

I was considered to be hip when I was fifteen when Crosby, Stills, and Nash first came out because I had been into Buffalo Springfield for a couple of years before.

Neil Young faults himself for what happened to the band...he admits he had identify problems and cites his youth as the key to the banana. Some great stuff the guys did especially on Buffalo Springfield Again and Last Time Around

[TheCdevlin]

these are fuking legands

[JohnNorthWillys]

stephen , richie , neil and jim will do this at shoreline 10/23/10 --- see you there !

[skpscv]

I bought this album the day it came out in summer '68 and I stacked all three and just played them continuously for days. This track and "On the Way Home" faves on this album, but they're all stellar.

[biggeral64]

for what its worth

[fisher65]

fleet foxes is a band out of seattle i think you would like a lot! old sounds

[TheJmd441]

early take(and better) of part two of "Carry On"

[mscongeniality1966]

So many great artists from the early days, daze better than what we have. I am so glad to have grown up in that time, music was still music.

[HollywoodSoundtracks]

Bruce and Dewey were my friends ... RIP Brothers .. Frankie C ....

[dbard1651]

My favorite albumn,.

[Burt472]

Beautiful..........

[darbygrey]

Thank You.

[mobeel2eenun]

I still have the original LP on this and all Buffalo Springfield albums. This was considered the least of all their albums, but it was still great. I went to sleep to this and their first album so often. Messina does some great bass lines on this.

[ChronikBlasta420]

ohh man i rly do envy you right now:) wish i had some atleast on disk:( but youtube will have to do for just now=D

loving the production of the grate buffalo springfield

[kenfig]

@mobeel2eenun well i think its underrated

[rfranklinw1]

i know that taste is completely subjective. but i remember nearly when rock was BORN. all iam saying is that music had a much deeper meaning in the lyrics than it does today. and words, emotions, deeper meaning is more important to me than the simple lyrics of the 50's or the useless bullshit today. the late 60's may have no relevance today but but i think that is sad and very unfortunate.

[zedrein18]

The direction they would go is up your butt.

[Sargebri]

Its assholes like that ruin sites like this. If you didn't like my comment you didn't have to respond and show how much of an ignorant motherfucker you are.

[zedrein18]

I'm a fighter, this is what I do.

[hoxvoxbox]

Maybe rfranklinw1 meant to underline a great problem by this era: mass production by multinationals clearly lowered quality down in every form of art. More medias to feed with loads of music, so it's fundamental to produce bands that play ALWAYS THE SAME THINGS. It's like McDonald: they point to sell 10, 12 standardized products. Optimization. This is a disaster. There are good bands still, butr honestly I remember that 30 years ago there were MORE good band. MUCH more.

[rfranklinw1]

wish this kind of music was still being made!!!! i was 18 in 1968. music isnt dying---its dead!

[EVfnWls]

You need to look around more. There's lots of fantastic music nowadays. There'd be no reason for bands to play this music. It's been perfected. The sound followed the world and culture of the time, it can't be replicated sincerely.

[hoxvoxbox]

You are a little exaggerated imho, but not too much. I'm 45 so I stille remember the times every day came out a great record. Now I'm lucky if I hear something exciting once in a month. In 2009 I can count on a single hand's fingers bands I found really interesting. It's very sad.

[ruzz3ii]

@rfranklinw1 There was a lot of crap too. You just forget about that.

[borntoend94]

@ruzz3ii Yes, but the "best" bands of today don't even compare with the best artists of the late sixties.

[bendbadgersteve]

psch811,

Neil bailed before they got to Milwaukee. Show was cancelled. Furay had already left POCO otherwise that could have been full of TONS of Springfield reunion possibilities.

Oh! That's maybe Bruce Palmer on bass but it sure as hell isn't Robert Palmer.

[pooslinger10]

jim messina played on it@bendbadgersteve

[nicodagger]

xXxtokerxXx90210 don't be sad!! I was your age when this music first came out, and I love it, and it's fantastic that people of your age still love it! It isn't dying, it will never die, great music doesn't die! Just keep listening! We used to go to our friend's house after school in high school and smoke weed while listening to Buffalo Sprinfield. Nothing better. Stay high, in every way!

[BoosieBoosieBoosie]

ya hey i was looking for other songs from springfield. i've been listening to 'For what its worth' for years and still havent gotten burned out on it.. but i was hoping to find other songs from him that is just as good as that song..same feel, good lyrics

[xXxtokerxXx90210]

Great stuff this and CSN is so beast. im 14, im so sad that this music is dieing, i think the 60s in when music was at his highest point. I am a a cannabis smoker, as well as a phydelic person. This new music rap...*sigh* t-pain? what? rly socity? jesus christ 99% of his voice is tech made up. So sad.

420 Peace Pot

[kaattz]

brilliant song!

One of their best .

thanks for the post :-)

[Reed104]

This is Stills at his best.....

[ojososo]

robert palmer. that's funny.

[daniva]

sorry, bruce palmer

[louiseduvee]

Great group, thanks for posting this

L:D

[trcd]

groovy tune!

[psch811]

Saw Poco in 1976 in front of the Stills Young Band. My first concert and what a memory to have!!!

[cjthemusicman]

*****

[bjbhappy]

Still great :)

[apemanstreetwalker]

Ok one point...I am talking CSN not the rest of the Buffalo Springfiled guys....

[SyvetheShairks]

Takes me back to high school. Young should HANG for what he did to this group.

[apemanstreetwalker]

Interesting the Neil is the only viable artsit left out of the lot...maybe Stills should have bailed on Crosby and made music rather than get high. shouldawouldacoulda

[Newman54]

get your finger out of your ass dude I saw CSN&Y do their Freedom of Speach tour. It was awesome. They all are great artists and nobody baild on any one.

[apemanstreetwalker]

Still stand by my comment. Neil was the only artist out of this bunch that ever did anything. Trust me this is my favorite music but I can't not think how things would've turned out minus Crosby and his bad influences. You had some of the best artists of the time, Nash and Stills, suddenly stop producing. Neil has kept producing, on average, solid folk/rock and, sometimes, epic songs.

And please...Southern Cross and radio stuff like that is fun toons but not what they could've done.

[musicfan088]

@Newman54 Speach? LOL

[Newman54]

out of this group came Poco the first group to play "Country Rock" Richy Furay, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, Neil Youngs first solo self titled. This group was awesome. I was fortunate to see them live. Nobody should Hang. Groups evolve into other groups it's a transitonal effect.

[MartinGuitarLover1]

great song

[cbashinelli]

stills used the same line as in "woodstock"

[mikehatchett]

Stills wrote this song as a Buffalo Springfield member and used it in CNS&Y "Carry On" This is just one of his terrific songs as well as "Rock and Roll Woman" and "Bluebird"

[peterzang]

@mikehatchett Yep. But I think, sadly, it meant he was starting to run out of stuff.

[bjbhappy]

Great Daze they were :)

[TheMidnightrider4]

from the Springfield were my roots in the beginning of my alternative life style called hippie

[stuporsession]

my bad. The BS box set has, for the first time, the complete personnel listings for every track. So it seems that STILLS is playing bass here.

[3dfakejesus]

I smiled at Susan, she smiled back then flipped me off. Oh well, time passes....

[GodfreRayKing]

i ran into susan yesterday , shes morbidly obese with 3 children and drinks more than a ------ FISH !!!!!

[JEREMACDADDY]

made love to susan many many times whilst somehow listening to this song back in 70..still think of her now and then.

that was another paradise!!

[JohnNorthWillys]

my question is , why is that only neil and richie still have any ---> NUTS ?

[damagedangel10]

I have loved Stephen all my life literally and yes he did heavy drugs but his heart was so badly broken what with Jimi dying and two bad marriges and losing Judy what did you expect? And i pray everyday his continued good health We love and adore you Stephen we are with you FOREVER!!!.

[txeire]

nice sentiments.

[Lizzthaashizz]

OMG Stephen Stills has some of the best lyrics I've ever heard. Magical song :)

[TheGm66]

brilliant group around when i was born dont know much about them but i love their music

[steve77011]

At this time, and for a year or two to follow, Steve Stills was a genius, close to Beatles level. Burned out somehow. Recently read he had a cocaine habit nearly as bad as David Crosby...shame.

[ojososo]

it's great that after all these years and all that has occurred that so many of us still love to listen to the Springfield playing Questions.

[pagerrules]

Definitely a Springfield fan always. My daughter has their hits, loves for what it's worth, understands what it meant back then. Yeah.

[venicemenace]

Stills is a genius...and the bass on this song is just filthy.

Thanks for uploading this.

[GGTarz]

RIP Bruce Palmer... one of the greatest bass players

[stuporsession]

Messina produced this album and played bass for the BS for their last tour. A pity he did not give proper credit on the album to Bruce for playing bass on this and a few other songs on it.

[Helterskelter4]

Great song, We used to play this in my old band

[Flap999]

Me too, those were the days of inventive, original music man...great stuff. Who could forget Cinnamon Girl...one of our most requested covers.

[Anglynn74]

Oh wow I haven't heard this song in eons. I have all the albums but haven't listened to them in a while. Nice to know there are other Springfield fans out there, I thought I was the only one! lol.

[allman150]

One of their best! Great band.

[hollyhockshangheavy]

love his voice-i have become besotted with him just now-he's really different

[dizzer05]

The older I get, the more i appreciate Stills. He isn't in the best of health so every time I hear his songs it's like taking a sip of a great vintage wine from a bottle that I realize will one day be empty.

[kingdai26]

Great stuff

[ripperduck]

RIP Dewey Martin, drummer for the Buffaloes....

[guts1111]

Hi to everyone, I'm born 84 (long after the time of these guys) Most of my friends are into new stuff (hip hop, Reggaetón etc) and they tell me that I listen to strange music, but I listen what my ears like (and thats a lot of different music), and I think music is timeless and time has braught so many nice music (before and now)...

[pabc]

Played their music over and over when I was a teenager! Loved them! Can you post "Hot Dusty Roads?"

[hollyhockshangheavy]

did u find it-i def watched it-was in 'sounding out' interview which is posted

[pabc]

Thank you for the info hollyhocks! Was not aware it was available on youtube.

[hollyhockshangheavy]

you're welcome- that interview is in 3 parts and it's in part 2-but the whole interview is great stuff

[misspopanoche]

Sooooo Soooooo Good!

Thanks for the upload, worm!

[harry57oswald]

Stills,1oftheverybest,nomatter­what /

[oneandatwo]

CSN&Y ruin this great song.

[txeire]

nah, i think they just played it differently

[Fritobandito35]

this is a great song! i agree, this should be on the radio more, classic California 60's rock.

[visual989sensations]

oh come on 6,000 views for such a kick-ass band? great song, STILLS!

[Drewman420911]

....wtf why is this song so good

[mgssol90]

This song is "Carry On" jr if you know what i mean.

[byrdsmaniac]

"This song is 'Carry On' jr if you know what i mean."

Yes, but it came first.

[pivobro]

Carry On is a rewriteof two of Still's songs. Questions and Know youv'e Got to Run. I probibly screwed up the second title. REO Speedwagon recorded the second song.

[snuffelsuf]

buffalo springfield is like my all time fave band at least in the top 3 and they allways have very cool and varied guitar textures..plus cool production stuff ....like in, in the hour of not quite rain" and ..........broken arrow and.. expecting to fly.buffalo is tha best

[kentcrawf]

loved this song for 40 years.....

[LatrinoBeaudet]

They were well appreciated in my circle of friends.Broken hearted when they split, but look what happened!!! Super Session CSNY Loggins and Messina Poco.......

[Johndoe191919]

Cool!!! Haven't heard this since a million years ago! Great song! Buffalo Springfield had to be the finest band ever. Maybe not the best promoted, but the lineup is an all star cast like the Rat pack all in one group! These guys are so amazing! The song writing, the music, the vocals...just better than anyone could even realize at that time. They weren't appreciated till after they broke up into all the various other bands. These guys were the American Beatles, and way ahead of their time.

[maida1982a]

also think there were too many individual talents and divergent personalities for them to last, but they left us with 3 fine albums' worth of songs.

[bitterchew]

Stills and Young make this sound like their already in CSN

[andyinoregon]

Great posting. I'd totally forgotten that Stills used portions of this song in his classic "Carry On" from CSN&Y's "Deja Vu" album.

[misspopanoche]

One of their best & One of my favourites!

[funfabric]

one of the best compositions ever! lyrically brilliant.

[jimmysly8]

My alltime favorite by the Springfield. Thanks for posting, 5 stars and a favorite !!

[wadeywade1969]

i love this song , brings back memory's

[4Puppypaws]

Stephen Stills is a genius.

[Raspberryreindeer]

wonderful song, sign of the times that i'm only the second person to comment on this gem

[SlimNim]

great song!
