These guys are pure professionals and I can't believe after so many years they still sounds so great. Richy's voice is perfect and Neil and Steven look to truly be having fun again together. A fantastic show and venue.
Stephen plays a mean guitar...Richie's voice still sonorous...but Neil....well, he made the show. His voice, his humor, his guitar licks, and most of all: his reverence and sheer joy in being a rock and roller. No vanity...no self-importance....just a lucky guy who gets to do what he loves passionately. And the audience was right there with him. Nice set list.
amazing how good they still are after 40 years, Neil Young's guitar play is as good as ever
This was a dream come true. I've been wanting to see Buffalo Springfield reunite for decades. It was so wonderful to see Richie Furay, Stephen Stills, and Neil Young up on the stage together, getting along, and playing their hearts out. Neil Young was in great spirits, having a blast finally with his favorite band. Highlights were I am a Child, Kind Woman, Mr. Soul, For What Its Worth, Broken Arrow, Rock and Roll Woman. Harmonies were not always perfect, but it didn't matter. It was just a magical evening watching and listening to one of my favorite bands play in a beautiful setting above the Pacific Ocean in the hills of Santa Barbara.
Awesome event! We bought the tickets for our aunt and uncle and they loved it.
This concert ignited so many great memories of a great time in my life. Every song came back to me with feelings that shook my soul. What great songs, by great artists, who contributed so much to the soundtrack of our generation. I can't thank them enough for touring and appreciating the live performance. Hope they do a DVD of the show.
Just really enjoyed the show. Some technical problems with sound, and it happened more than once. But the musicians were great and it was an awesome evening.
This was a long-awaited reunion concert from a key group in rock n roll history. The three band members performed exceptionally well (Stills looked great), voices surprisingly intact (particularly Richie's), and they rocked a lot harder than expected. Now, as an aside (and guys don't take this the wrong way, cause we love ya...) the quality and pricing of the swag was not up to what I expected. Tee shirt quality is C+ at best for $30 (design was fine) and was that a coffee cup I saw for $30?! OK, maybe it was $20. Sound, staging, and venue was top-notch. Gillian Welch as opening act was an inspired choice.
What a magical fantastic evening! The first concert of the reunion tour! The weather was perfect and the band was great! Kind of a rough start on the first couple of songs, but you get that at most any concert. Total time-warp to the past! I loved every second of it. This reunion tour shouldn't be missed by anyone that ever listened to and loved their original incarnation! Neil is fantastic no matter who he plays with-or alone. Such rock history and an emotionaly overwhelming experience for me! ( just my humble opinion- For What It's Worth)
Simply a great show of different talents, who a long time ago went their own way & did their own thing - only to later reunite for a spell and realize again - how good they were together! Might make a good biography, but the fellas might think otherwise?? Also how lucky I was growing up with this music; thanks guys, you made my summer – once again!! . . . and thank you Ms Welch - loved your voice; I quickly recognized your voice from the O Brother Where Art Thou Soundtrack - a pleasant surprise!! Hope you all have a good tour - come on back!!! . . . jp
Very fun evening. Each part greater than the whole. Limited repetoire but each song memorable. I remembered all words to all songs except one (never heard it before, i think, or else i was absent the day they played it. Neil's the boss! Neil's the man! Neil's the best! Neil's just rockin' us all in the free world! I DID look around from Row R, over the top of the 6' tall woman in front of me who bobbed her head side-to-side most of the night and thought: is $250 per seat a fair price for these and this show?? I go to many and pay many steeper prices. I just think THAT price for THIS show was excessive. Now I paid and it's over and i care much less.
The show was outstanding! I was not sure what to expect after all these years but I was blown away. However, I was not impressed with the Wiltern Theatre as a venue. The seats were very cramped and uncomfortable and it was hot and stuffy.
I couldn't believe how much I still love their songs, remembered what I had forgotten. They're as relevant today as they ever were. Love you, Buffalo Springfiied.
What can I say Young, Furray, Stills doing what they do best.
First let me say i had a good time . Now on to the rest , there was no need for an opening act , absolutely awful . Richie Furay and Neil Young were both excellent . Stephen Stills appeared ill ? Almost to the point of being non-existed . Concert tickets said a 7Pm start , Buffalo Springfield , didn't come out until after 9pm ? What is up with that ? The encore set was awesome . As was most of the show , just wish the two couples behind me would have shut up and enjoyed the concert , they talked through the whole event .
The guys were great but the sound system needed work.
The show was flat out remarkable; venue was incredible, the Fox has been redone and is a stunning, opera house style theater with wonderful amenities and accoustics. Stills, Young and Furay barely missed a beat after 44 years apart...Stills is lean and fit, and his guitar playing was sterling as usual-covering all the notes and fills while Neil showed off in fine form on top of the sound. The boys were cheerful and chatty, and even Neil was charming and bantering with the crowd and the guys, which made the experience even more special, and surprising. Furay was truly incredible; voice still sweet and covering the high notes effortlessly and nailing these ancient and difficult ballads with grace and a grown up sensibility the songs may have lacked back when the earth was still cooling in the mid 60's...Stills voice was a tiny bit ragged at times, but with his soul and command, it doesn't really matter...Neil blew the building up-Mr. Soul was out of control-full of blistering guitar chords and pounding away on "old black", and after almost 50 years of wishing, I finally got to hear the song the way it must have sounded at the Whiskey a Go Go or Ciro's in Los Angeles in 1967.... The Springfield opened with "On the way home" which still carried those beautiful harmonies from Stills and Furay, (woo woo woo hoo etc.) and felt perfect as an opener-a symetrical sort of full circle journey kind of song that Neil had originally left to the band as his good bye gift all those years ago...Rock and Roll Woman, Bluebird, Go and Say Goodbye were wonderful, and Stills even tossed in nuggets like "everybody's wrong" "hot dusty roads" which surprised everybody....bottom line, if you can see this band, do it, don' t miss it. Once in a lifetime deal if you are a fan of these guys...
THOUGHT THE SHOW WAS GOOD BUT SET WAS SHORT DISAPPOINTED IN THAT RESPECT
This Oakland, CA concert of 2011 rivaled Neil and Crazy Horse in Chicago, 2007. These guys seemed to enjoyed playing that night as much as we did listening to them...I would definitely recommend this concert for Neil, Richie, and Stephen fans!
I bought these tickets as a 5th anniversary present for my husband. Just before the show started, my incredibly music-knowledgeable husband (went to Woodstock, charter subscriber to Rolling Stone), said "This is either going to be awesome or awful - a historic reunion of 3 incredible talents, or 3 old guys trying to recreate what can't be recreated. Fortunately, it was the former. The music was wonderful, all 3 performers seemed to be genuinely enjoying themselves, and the energy in the room was electrifying. I can't recommend this enough, it may be one of the best concerts I have ever attended!
