I'm happy I got the chance to see Buffalo Springfield live - I never thought the day would come! The guitar synergy between Stills/Young was amazing. Richie Furay's voice has really held up. As the guy behind me said after "Mr Soul" - "that was worth the price of admission." I wholeheartedly agree.
Parking for the event was terrible, as were the venue's regulations about outside food. As a person with a restricted diet and food allergies, there was little provided by the Santa Barbara Bowl that I could eat. Outside food and drink was prohibited. That was unfortunate. Flow into and out of the stadium was fine and the crowd was very tame. Gillian Welch was amazing, but the audience talked over her. Buffalo Springfield was also good.
The last time these guys played together was 43 years ago. This was a great reunion.
Have been hoping for a Buffalo Springfield concert since I came of age musically in 1969 or so, and this concert substantially exceeded my expectations. They were emotionally loose, musically tight and having a great time. Their rockers made it easy to understand how they used to blow the roof off of the Whiskey, and the harmonies on the ballads made it clear how they helped to launch folk-rock and country-rock. A wonderful, memorable concert.
As Neil said, "We are from the Past", but their music is just as relevant now as back then. It was a great show, good crowd enthusiasm, and great musicians giving their all onstage. Highlights were "Rock and Roll Woman" , Neil and Stephan tearing it up on "Mr. Soul", and a 60's jam session on "Bluebird".
Wow....If your like me You waited for the Beatles. Then couple ago you got a gleam of Blind Faith, when Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood tour together. So when Buffalo Spingfield started this Limited Tour,basically by word of mouth I felt like a little Kid On Christmas morning. And the show fulfill all my expectations.
Great venue, as always @ the SB Bow! Buffalo Springfield put on a AWESOME show. Hope they will consider performing again @ the SB Bowl!
I never even dreamed I'd see the day that this band would get together again. But they did, and played, clearly, for the pure love of it. An event not to be missed, with music that stands the test of forty plus years. Past met present in a night of what was old was new again. While the youth of today may not know or appreciate what influence the group had on rock in the 60's – and on much of what followed – it's easy to see why this band was the launching pad for so many great musicians. To quote one of their album titles, seeing Buffalo Springfield live after all these years was one very good reason we needed Buffalo Springfield Again.
Quite a trip down memory lane - took me right back to late 60's growing up in So. Cal. probably like most of the audience. B.S.'s instrumentals and jamming was outstanding and first rate; a few vocals were pitchy and sounded like they could have benefitted from a little more rehearsing. Still the last half of the concert shined and was strong.
I had the BEST time at this concert. Neil Young remains one of the truly great singer/song writers of our time and his buddies weren't bad, either. :-) I took my son for his 20th birthday...at his request. I guess that's what they mean when they say something is timeless.
Amazing concert the old guys can still rock it. I did not like the sercurtiy people at the Santa Barabara Bowel very rude.
I want to first Thank the boys for getting together!!1 THANK YOU!! I was in the Pit and danced the whole time! How could anyone just sit through such phenomenal performance! Drove up from LA totally stoked to have seen them at the Bowl!
Neil Young stole the show. Beautiful venue, great crowd. Lovely evening I would see them again.
Overall greatp music. richie furay still sounds great, and Neil and Stills can play great guitar but seats very cramped and uncomfortable
The sound was engineered well, lighting nice, moods exlint ! Guitar wars were cool , a blast from the past. Richie Furrie, what a blessing he still is. Neil was in a fun mood and Steve sang fine, like a fine ol wine ! Stopping the song a few bars in....good stuff, count it again ! Keep on rockin in the free world, thank you Neil. Over all I loved this evening, it was magical and these old hoots kicked it hard and good. The vocal mixes were suprisingly nice, good harmonies. ! Kick ass in Tennessee boys ! Oh and ya'll come back now hear !
As a whole, the concert was enjoyable. However, Stills' voice, whether talking, or "singing" is gone. Stills still has a great guitar talent. The best songs were performed by Neil and the other guy.
Poor Stephen Stills... still struggling through whatever it is that ails him. But to hear those great songs again, and to see Young & Furay still rocking in the free world made up for it. And the SB bowl is a delightful venue.
Amazing life opportunity to see a historical band tear it up.
After 42 years these guys sound GREAT! Richie Furay and Neil Young were fantastic, Stephen Stills was pretty good too! The guys harmonies were exceptional and the guitars were smokin'. What else can be said?
God bless the 1960's rockers who are still out there sharing and showing everyone, like a fine wine, it gets better with age. I will go see any of these excellent 60's music groups that have stood the test, not only of time, but new generations that love and appreciate them just as much as us original fans. You go boys!!! Love you to pieces.
