How Did Buffalo Springfield End
Buffalo Springfield
Just love the name of this unique American rock band which also launched the careers of such popular artists as Stephen Stills, Richie Furay and Neil Young. Other members were Dewey Martin and Bruce Palmer. This group gained many fans because they combined rock, folk, and country music. One of their songs which sold millions of copies “For What It’s Worth” actually became a political anthem for the turbulent times of the late 60s.
Buffalo Springfield came together in 1966 but stayed on the scene only for two years because of issues which couldn’t be solved. During this time they managed to become one of the most influential groups of the 60s and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997.

However drug and other problems surfaced and Buffalo Springfield performed their last concert at the Long Beach Arena in 1968 and disbanded only two short years after coming together.
Stills went on to create Crosby, Stills, & Nash. Young went on to a solo career but later on joined Stills and they became Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young. In September of 1968 Martin formed the New Buffalo Springfield with Dave Price guitar, Bob Apperson bass, Don Poncher drums and Jim Price horn. They went on tour and appeared at the much publicized Holiday Rock Festival in December of 1968 in San Francisco, California. However Stills and Young refused to let Martin continue using the name of Buffalo Springfield. There were thoughts of reuniting the original members but Palmer died in 2004 and Martin in 2009 so that was no longer a possibility. However the remaining members of Buffalo Springfield did reunite for six concerts in

    Hailed by many as purely a southern rock band, Lynyrd Skynyrd was not only a success outside the Deep South but gained widespread popularity throughout the country in the 1970’s. Yes, of course much of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s style and sound evolved from there southern roots but that is not strictly who they were or what solely influenced them. After all, it is very difficult to be inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame if all you appeal to is a very small sect of the music market(Sullivan 1).…
