One guy in The Band had a more compelling voice than the next, with the exception of course of the guitar player who didn't need to sing. Oh yeah and the organ player. But the other three all had such interesting voices.

I was shooting hoops with my friend Phil in Coney Island. A guy comes up to the fence and asks “hey fellas, you got a joint?” It was Rick Danko, and, unfortunately, we didn’t have anything.

My old drummer plays harp and started a 7-piece Butterfield tribute band a few years ago, covering the entire catalogue in stages. The second iteration was East-West Blues Band. I kept asking him to add a member and be Butterfield 8.

Great show as usual, young schmann! A Springfield song I somehow overlooked—amazing. I find those string arrangements on the Young songs a little cloying. Have you seen the interviews with Stills vs. Parks on the origin of the band name?
  10:44am
gf2002:

I hear so many people say the tragedy of Buffalo Springfield is that very little exists on tape of them playing live in their prime, and that's what made them one of the best bands of that whole scene, especially the guitar duels between Stills and Young. I absolutely love that episode of Mannix where the Springfield is playing in the background at a nightclub, and you can hear Stills and Young trading leads on Bluebird, totally different from the studio version.

“Coconut Grove” - oh, yeah!
