Bruce Palmer-Buffalo Springfield

Bruce Palmer was one of the greatest Rock and Roll bass guitarists of the 60's! Member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Concerning the 3rd and final album, "Last Time Around", sadly, Bruce was not credited for his contributions to the album. From "For What It's Worth" the book by John Einarson with Richie Furay: "Though his face and name are both omitted from the sleeve, Bruce appears on several tracks, including 'On the Way Home,' 'It's So Hard to Wait,' 'Pretty Girl Why,' 'Uno Mundo,' 'Merry-Go-Round,' and 'Questions'" [page 260].

Richie Furay says Bruce played bass on this song. I believe Richie. Thanks!

Where did Richie Furay say that? According to the Buffalo Springfield Box Set credits page, (and considering Bruce Palmer was long gone back to Canada), Stephen Stills played Bass, Guitar, Organ, Piano and Vocal.

A nice tribute for a great and innovative bass player.

Glad to see, his wonderfully enhancing, walking style, hasn't been lost to some through the years. Always with a sense of it, supportive, without being boaring or getting in the way. A lot of modern day players could learn a thing or two from Bruce's innovative style of bass playing.

@123alexirving "Questions" does not have an organ, or piano part that I can hear. Box set notes must be pertaining to "Special Care" which has organ and piano, and Stephen plays bass and Buddy Miles plays the drums.

One of my all-time favourites on the four string, right up there with Messrs. Jamerson, Dunn, McCartney and Wyman. If he made it, heaven's swingin'!

Bruce Palmer was a great bass player. I saw Buffalo Springfield in Macomb, Il. in 1968. They were awesome. Remember Bruce's great bass signatures. He had previously played with Neil Young in a Canadian band prior to Springfield. God bless you Bruce.

Bruce Palmer brought the funk into folk rock.

I never appreciated the bass on this song until I heard this video and realized the delightful intricacy of Bruce Palmer's bass.

Thank you for this Wonderous Tribute to such an underrated and unrecognised Late '60's musician.
