Neil Young Plays First Show In Four Years With Buffalo Springfield Buddy Stephen Stills

Neil Young performed his first show in four years with his co-Buffalo Springfield member and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young partner Stephen Stills at the Light Up For Blues benefit for Autism Speaks in Los Angeles on Saturday (22 April, 2023).

Young was backed by his other band Promise of the Real and joined by Stills for five Buffalo Springfield songs, one Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and a classic The Stills-Young Band performance of ‘Long May You Run’.

The Stills-Young Band was a one-off collaboration in 1976. For Young, the album slotted in between ‘Zuma’ (1975) and ‘American Stars ‘n Bars’ (1977).

Stills and Young first played together as Buffalo Springfield in 1966. Buffalo Springfield recorded three albums from 1966 to 1968 and split. Young went solo and released his first solo album ‘Neil Young’. Stills formed Crosby, Stills & Nash and released the first album Crosby, Stills & Nash’ in 1969. The following years, Young joined CSN who became Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and released ‘Déjà vu’, featuring his song ‘Helpless’.

Joe Walsh joined Stills and Young for ‘Mr Soul’ and Stills for ‘Love The One You’re With’ and ‘Helplessly Hoping’.
