1966

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.

1967

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 replaced Young on lead guitar. Both return but valuable time was lost without them and their replacements didn’t make the grade.

He recruits Jim Price (horns), Dave Price (G), Don Poncher (D), Bob Apperson (B), and Gary Rowles (g) to become the New Buffalo Springfield. Unfortunately, Zalk consistently books the band as Buffalo Springfield, which draws vitrol in the press from Stills and Young.

1969

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 with ATCO Records.

The Buffalo Springfield Again emerges again with Dewey Martin at the head for at least one documented performance in an out of the way venue. Martin had invited Bruce Palmer to join but he was not interested. The above promo photo shows Dewey, Dave Wilson (bass), Glen Laughlin (guitar) and “Zeke.” While awaiting gigs, “Zeke” quits and is replaced by Michael Curtis.

2011

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. That turns out to be premature as it is cancelled when Neil decides he’s tired of being in the past so much.
