I saw Buffalo Springfield in 1967 and can tell you that both Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin contributed to what was then an entirely unique, incredibly powerful and raw sound live. The live band sounded nothing like the records, or even the CDs for that matter. Guitars loudly rang, chimed and ripped. The bottom was chest-rattling powerful. Stills and Young it seemed to me were really searching for something...like jazz players do. I think they have overplayed since and still do, now.
Obviously Stephen, Neil, and the very talented Richie overshadowed the rhythm section...but Dewey's drumming was solid and just a little funky...(compared to an on-the-beat sound like Mike Clarke in the Byrds...) a major but underrated contribution...and Dewey sang "Good Time Boy..." uh for what that's worth!
Sad that Bruce and Dewey and their families cannot share in this reunion...including the $$$ it will generate...as well as the belated recognition for Richie and the band as a whole.

Well said-I thought those guys were important to the sound and I think they would've loved being a part of this...years ago when they were alive. Who is playing those roles by the way?

Buffalo Springfield has postponed their fall reunion tour until 2012, according to a post by band member Richie Furay. "For those of you getting excited about the Buffalo Springfield fall tour – word has just come to me that it has been moved to the first of next year," he wrote on Facebook. "I'm not going to spend a lot time here with details as you speculate among yourselves – there's nothing to speculate about, the tour has simply been moved." Furay, Neil Young and Stephen Stills reunited at last year's Bridge School Benefit and played seven more shows this year, including a set at Bonnaroo.

Buffalo Springfield Reunion Goes and Says Goodbye
by: Jeff Giles

If you’ve been trying to figure out how Neil Young‘s recent announcement that he’s working on a pair of new albums with Crazy Horse would fit in with his plans to tour with the reunited Buffalo Springfield, you can stop wondering: the Springfield reunion is on hold, again.
“You know, Neil is just fickle and even though it boils down to all three of us making a decision…without the three of us, really there can’t be anything that would even resemble a Buffalo Springfield,” admitted Richie Furay during a recent radio interview. “I gotta say that we probably lost a little bit of our momentum; that isn’t to say it couldn’t be picked up again, but I certainly don’t see anything happening this year.”

The band has been trying to stick together long enough to book a 30-date tour since 2010, when they ended more than 40 years of inactivity with a performance at that year’s Bridge School benefit concert. As recently as last September, Furay’s agent was still promising that “Buffalo Springfield is at the top of Neil’s list of priorities. It’s just a matter of finding a time that works for everybody.”

The mercurial Young, who tends to vacillate between taking decades to finish a project (as he did with the long-gestating ‘Archives Vol. 1′) and surprising his label with dashed-off records, seems to have rekindled the flame with his on-again, off-again mates in Crazy Horse for now; he leaked a 38-minute jam recorded with the band late last year, and he says he’s working on not one, but two new records with the Horse. Of course, that doesn’t mean he won’t decide to go off and do something else first — Bluenotes reunion tour, anyone?

NY is at the Flyers-Sharks game tonight in San Jose (I think he's a season ticket holder)
What was he wearing? A Buffalo Springfield jacket!

P.S.
Neil's Dad Larry Young is in the Hockey Hall Of Fame I believe. He was a longtime hockey writer for a Toronto newspaper (I think it was the Globe And Mail-I may be wrong).

Neil Young is (in my professional opinion as a special needs teacher) an example of an autistic sufferer. Neil's early years showed signs with epilepsy and his at times erratic behavior was clear he is a highly gifted man with abnormal behavior.

Neil's inability to grasp clear decisions and inability to realize he at times deeply hurts people who love him shows me he has an issue with a form of autism. Remember when he walked out of CSNY in the mid 1970s and also walking out of Stills in 1976' .His off the wall albums in the 1980s.
He is a man I have a deep affinity for, but he sure has the ability to test his fans, amaze and at times give us something that is stunning.
No one will understand what he is thinking but as a fan I am captivated by what may be next.
