BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD CONCERT CHRONOLOGY

This information is a result of collaborative efforts by Pete Long, Stuart Rosenberg, Steve Casto, John Einarson, Neil Skok, Nick Warburton, myself and dozens of others.

Buffalo Springfield is formed after a chance meeting on Sunset Boulevard. Within a week, the band makes it's first public appearance. They quickly secure a residency as the house band at the Whisky a Go Go on the Sunset Strip. While their Whisky residency becomes legendary, the Springfield's career is slow to take off nationally. They remain close to home until the end of the year.

November 12	The Gay '90's, San Francisco, CA		Another guest set after the previous shows were completed.
November (UD)	The Ark, Sausalito, CA	Moby Grape	It is reported that the Springfield shared a number of bills with the Grape at the Ark but so far, none have been defintively confirmed. It is likely that these were simply guest sets.
November 21-27	Whisky a Go Go, Los Angeles, CA	The Poor	A brief return to LA for the band. During one set, Peter Tork of the Monkees joins the band and he and Stills do an old tune, Alvin the Alligator. The opening act, the Poor were from Denver. On bass was Randy Meisner.

December 21-22	Whisky a Go Go, Los Angeles, CA		It was reported that the Springfield played for two days prior to the Turtles Christmas engagement. These two days were open and so it's possible these were the dates.
December 30	Night Owl Cafe, New York City, NY		This was a guest set at the famous Night Owl, home of the Lovin' Spoonful, upon their arrival in NYC.
December 31-January 9	Ondine's, New York City, NY		A wildly incredible stand. Stills and Palmer get into a fistfight one night on stage. Otis Redding, Mitch Ryder, The Youngbloods, Rolling Stones all attend shows. Young has another epileptic fit during another set. Palmer is eventually busted on the band's last night in New York City. Needed back in LA to fulfill obligations, the band abandons him there.

The Buffalo Springfield's third single, For What It's Worth, goes Top Ten early in the year and for a brief time, they are stars. Unfortunately, they are unable to find a followup single that can match it. They also have trouble hanging on to group members as both Bruce Palmer and Neil Young depart during the year. Ken Koblun and Jim Fielder filled in on bass and Doug Hastings relaced Young on lead guitar. Both return but valuable time was lost without them and their replacements didn't make the grade.

Dewey Martin decides to keep the band alive and capitalize on the release of a single in October. He recruits Jim Price (horns), Dave Price (G), Don Poncher (D), Bob Apperson (B), and Gary Rowles (g) to become the New Buffalo Springfield.

Martin sues Stills and Young over the use of the Buffalo Springfield name. He loses the case and is forced to call his band Dewey Martin's New Buffalo. Promoters routinely ignore that and bill the band as Buffalo Springfield. By the summer's end, the band is on it's last legs despite having secured a recording contract.

Bruce Palmer forms a band in Toronto with Frank Wilks on guitar and vocals, Stan Endersby on lead guitar and Alan Prosser on drums. Dubbing themselves The Springfield Band, they begin gigging in local clubs.

The band renames themselves Buffalo Springfield Revisited after Dewey Martin joins up and they managed to gain permission from Stills and Young to use the name.

Band takes a hiatus and shuffles the lineup. Alan Prosser leaves and Bob Fredrickson on guitar and Harlan Spector on keyboards join up.

Dewey Martin leaves the band when he gets an offer to join the Roberts-Meisner Band.

Another attempt at an original Buffalo Springfield reunion falls apart and Bruce Palmer takes the Revisited Band back out on the road.

Dewey Martin decides to return to the stage with Billy Darnell, Robin Lambe and Michael Curtis under the name Buffalo Springfield Again.

The Buffalo Springfield Again performs again this year until they perform in Denver and Richie Furay files a cease and desist order against them and once again Dewey comes off the road.

Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay reunite over a weekend to perform at the annual Bridge Benefit backed by Rick Rosa on bass and Joe Vitale on drums.

Quite by surprise, the Buffalo Springfield undertake a sizeable reunion tour, beginning in California. They recently revealed that they will book an additional 30 dates in the fall.
