Buffalo Springfield Bluebird Long Version
Vložit
- čas přidán 13. 11. 2010
- Bluebird Buffalo Springfield: Rare nearly 9 minute version of Buffalo Springfield's "Bluebird" recorded in 1967. Only available on a double compilation album released in 1973. No version on CD exists. Excellent quality considering the original source. No skips but faint pops and hiss are present. Record player runs ever so slightly higher than 33 1/3rpm, but barely noticeable. Enjoy!
A masterpiece of rock music by Stephen Stills-the master!
1 million internets to you for posting this. Thank you.
I have listened to this dozens of times and it never gets old. Rock at its best.
Richard Smith Those were the days...
@@reigelrobert51 I miss them so much.
That’s music. Not the shit they call it now
Amen dude.
Amen Brother
i love the sound of vinyl,dont care what hiss or pops..sounds of my youth..
She got soul !!!
So true,the only way to listen to music 🎵🎶🎵🎶
Snop, Packle Crap specific request. I had the 73 double album on tape but then found it on albu. Rock biz through many a pop
Agreed
I love this version! It is so raw and primal, with the guitars and screaming vocals...First heard it on a vinyl album I bought in my teens, called "Heavy Metal"...To me this is a priceless, timeless, unique example of classic underground rock n roll...
I HAD "Heavy Metal!" Parents gave it to me as a Christmas present when I was 15 and I played it to death. Lost it in a flood along with all 800+ vinyl albums in 2009 and always missed it. Right now, I'm recording every track in order in hard time off YT videos, although I'm replacing three tunes I never liked with three others from that era that fit. Goodbye "Johnny B Goode" by the Grateful Dead (a horrible live version), hello "Blowin' Free" by Wishbone Ash, etc.
Never called for Wishbone Ash@@913KCED
No. NOT heavy metal. This pre-dates that. This was 1966-67. Psychedelic era.
Buffalo Springfield were the best band of their generation, their depth of talent was legendary and every record they ever made is a testimonial to their greatness. The Greatest band ever!!!
The beauty of this song will carry on for generation after generation!
you´re corny
The long version of this is awesome and powerfully good I love it well peace everyone.
I saw Buffalo Springfield with The Beach Boys , and Bobby Goldsboro !!!!!!! in Fort Worth , Texas and had front row seats ..... it was my first real concert without my Mom escorting me !! It was a great thing to have amemory of ...... first of many years and still going when the music moves me ! I remember Neil Young in his fringe suede jacket because I had on knee high Minnetonka fringe moccasins . This was incredible music to have memories of .
I am obsessing over one song after another here! Saw them in 68 or so at the Anaheim Convention Center. Love all these songs....oh so many memories of youth!. Hell I'm still young right?!
garlandstreasure Sorry, no.
Used to get off the second shift, turn the McIntosh pre amp & amp on & blast this...those were the days...yes they were!
I'll agree with you ,if you agree with me. We are still young!
If you have to ask if your still young, maybe just maybe you...what was I saying?
Stephen Stills, an amazing talent, and nothing evokes that magical time more than his beautiful, intricate, haunting guitar and lyrics. Nothing quite like that today! Trust me.
Yes when he plays acoustic guitar he's got a way that just pulls me.in like no other guitar player he's a one off Sir Stephen Stills.
I'm with ya... Stills has to be one of the greatest guitarist ever...
Stills hates this, that's why it wasn't on the B.S. box set
@@MyZxcvb12 Don't be quick to limit him... listen to SUPER SESSION SEASON OF THE WITCH and know that he played everything on the couch album and much of it on Deja vu - acoustic, electric, bass, organ, piano, percussion (even some of the drums), plus wrote and produced.
Is this version he hates? Thi is one Stephen Stills 2 L.P @@derkommissar785
What a joy to hear this again, after over 50 years. Local underground radio stations in LA used to play this on occasion but not very often. As a group, Buffalo Springfield were amazing musicians. BTW, they played a concert at my high school (Hamilton HS in Los Angeles) in 1968. That performance is tucked in my brain somewhere.
That would be about the time they disbanded, wouldn't you say?
Amen brother!
Stephen Stills is brilliant
Yup too many CZcams top 40 garbage short songs played every 15 mins that sucked
Wow! I had forgotten how great and so melancholy this song is.
Incredible!!!The first time I've heard this version in all my 64 years! I was around back then (obviously), but never heard this album. What a shame it isn't available still, but thanks so much for posting. #Awesome
just clicked on here! haven't heard this song since 1967. remember it well growing up in San Francisco. 2016
..KSAN. ..
My first love introduced me to this song. Young love. The first taste is very sweet...
whoever engineered that acoustic guitar is a god....
Man, could he play that guitar. That bass player was tremendous. Too bad they had so many personnel problems. Very talented guys.
It was stunning when it came out then- for melody and dynamics.
Bruce Palmer was deported for possession of Marijuana... getting caught twice in the same night lol
But yes it is unfortunate, but there would be no CSN/CSNY & Poco without them breaking up
Even back then the phoney war on drugs was complete failure...
My mom aaked me to go to next door office and ask if they can "turn down the pot." Lol in North Hollywood early 80s. What a way to meet Steve.
Crosby is an asshole and nut.Neil has medical problems that make him odd.But these defects make them good musicians.
i was traveling thru the central Missouri countryside just last week... an AM station played this...I almost drove off the road
lol
Weren't they amazing, l saw them a few times
They played this long version?
Guess I need to buy the cd or whatever there is now.
Best years of my life when this album hit the charts MR SOUL WAS MY BLUEBIRD !!
I've heard about the 9:00 min Bluebird - but never heard it till today. When I saw my record store had this LP it was the first thing I grabbed. It's a killer track and like others have said, should have been on the box set.
No autotune necessary. Pure greatness.
This version rocks, I love an angry Stephen Stills.
Bought it around Xmas 1973. Still gives me goose bumps.
This is the version I remember and has stayed with me. In fact i am listening with my 8yr old daughter right now. Hope it stays with her too!
The first acoustic/electric lead riffs that changed my musical interests forever.
you are right sir. these two are comparable to Clapton and Allman playing together
Obligatory 22 year old. I was raised on this band, still love them. Never heard this extended version before
William Ruddock, Steve Stills is playing all of the main acoustic guitar and all of those great acoustic solo parts. The distorted lead guitar throghout the song is Neil Young. You can tell who plays what by the differences in their attack. Young plays with a pick, while Stills plays with his fingers and fingenails when he plays lead. Some might think that Stills is playing electric on Bluebird because it does not sound as "frantic" as Young's solos on Woostock or the first solo on Mr. Soul. But if you listen closely, you can hear Neil play some of the same licks that he played on those songs.
Stills taught Neil everything...…...
I Was Born To Rock I'll Never Be An Opera Star.
Thanks for posting. This IS my favourite Springfield song & the best version of it. I've been looking for this for, it seems like, centuries. Nine minutes of sheer bliss. I gotta find a copy of this for my own.
THE version of this song. Thanks.
Damn, what sublime guitar and vocals....I feel so lucky to have been exposed to the best music ever dreamed of! Music saves us..............
This is a real tribute to that guitar playing by Stephan Stlls. He really had the pulse! This is perfect '60's Rock. Too bad Buffaloe Springfield had so many issues. They were great musicians. Peace
pbruc brooks IMO Stills at his best was a better musician than Young.
Stills is a an instrumentalist without peer, but Young's compositions put him in a class by himself. CSN acknowledge this.
pickleweedpete still has a boy Stephen Stills hasn't been able to sing in 20 years. and if you want to talk about complete LP is not County Manassas or anything else Stephen Stills is nowhere near as prolific as Neil Young in the early seventies or mid-seventies
Fuck off
Fuck off Geoffrey
We will never have great music like this again. thats for sure.
Back in 1967, just before the second album was released, KFWB DJ B. Mitchell Reed played this. When the album came out, we were real disappointed this version wasn't anywhere to be found!! I was thinking the box set would include it, but no such luck. Thanks for posting it!!
It's ultra sad that this version wasn't on the Buffalo Springfield box, Still's didn't want it on there but to me it's the ultimate version of this song! A friend of my family had the double 1973 album.
Cory J Burrence agree and always wondered why Stills opposed its inclusion? i think BOTH versions should have been included, as each stands alone as a great piece.
Yes when I first heard this in 1967 I was like WOW. This guy can make an acoustic guitar sound so electric and cool. Love it.
I first heard this in the Record & Tape Exchange in Notting Hill, London in the late ‘80’s. I was the only person in and I think the music snobs behind the counter were trying to impress me.
It worked.
I heard this couple times on the radio in the early 80s. Hadn't heard it since.
I used to have this on vinyl back in the day. This is definitely one of their best songs among many. The vocals and instrumentation are top notch for the era....
This song always made me tap my foot, even as a kid of 7 years old. Great tune and memories.
Real '60's. Classic Buffalo Springfield. Stephen Still's voice and guitar really puts this down.
One of the all time great jams!
Great great classic rock sound! Love it!! Reminds me of the early days of FM radio rock stations that played the long versions of album cuts and the disc jockeys talked in hush tones with very few commercial breaks. It all seemed so mystical back then.
Yup not the short garbage radio repeating every 15 mins
Yeah, I grew up during that time when Buffalo Springfield was active in Mid '60's. Turbulent band, but terrific talent. It blew me away when I found out he played Bass on "Carry On" when he was with CS&N; wow! I saw him at the Oakland Colliseum in '74 when he played Lead on "Love the one you're with". The girl I was with said he could pick up a Broomstick with strings and wail on it. One of the best!
Love this song! Underrated band. I love that this version has that acoustic/"unplugged" coda. I think this is the only clip that has it. Thanks for uploading it!
Always loved the long version of this. It was played surprisingly often on Los Angeles radio stations back at that time.
IN THE 60'S , THE LOng version of "Bluebird" was only on a reel to reel , it wasnt on LP , only way to get it was to listen to it on underground FM radio
KAAY BEAKER STREET!
ok boomer
Yes!! KSAN in SF. Listened to it every day.
@@trishamiller4768 KSAN 94.9 FM in Frisco back in the day of the mid 1960's, it was an underground radio station that did not play commercials. One of the DJs' name was Leo the Lion. They played some really unique sound sets. I was in junior high school at the time. I remember when they were faced with airing commercials, they refused and played continuously sounds of ocean waves upon the shore.
Remember when they aired "the more pain, the more god", an audio collage about John Lennon in 1972 ?
It was on a double lp set years ago
The thing is, when they finally did a Buffalo Springfield box set it would have been the perfect time to release this. But Neil Young compiled the box; I love the guy but I think that sometimes he goes out of his way to defy expectations. And consequently piss people off. God bless him, he's his own man.
He can be a dick. . .let's face it.
Exactly and not showing up
Thanks for the upload, I saw them in San Francisco in 68, there were so many groups I got to twist one up with and rap. I think 67 to 69 were the best years of my life, with all that music and the street action plus getting to go in the stage door and be with the bands. I got to do this because I knew a roadie and Barbra who was a seamstress for the bands. she had two girls that worked with her and there was always some action at her place. I'm just a nobody they called warlock having fun.
Longer versions are always best
I was living in the UK when I frist heard this version. Thank you for posting it it's been about 25 years since I heard last... Brings back memories
In the late 1960s L.A. there was what was then referred to as an "underground" radio station called KMET FM. The disc jockeys (B. Mitchell Reed, Jimmy Rabbitt, Brother John, Mary "The Burner" Turner) used to play long sets of album rock. One of them was a long version of Bluebird. However, they played an even longer version. Closer to 10-11 minutes. In it during the guitar riff, Stephen Stills shouts out the name "Dewey Martin", the then drummer of Buffalo Springfield who died in 2009.
There is a CZcams video when they put Buffalo Springfield back together and they are practicing
WOW! NEVER HEARD THIS VERSION
I had this on vinyl and played the crap out of it back in the day!
Never heard this version, Awesome!
I love this one. Thanks so much.
Always a fan, never a fanatic. First time I have heard this version and dang, I love it! Having been to a LOT of concerts where most, including the band(s) where 'Spiritually Enhanced' the jams that were played during those days have not been heard since. Heard a 30 minute jam of 'Mother Earth', Eric Burdon and War, in Fairbanks 1971 and it rocked! Listen to Quicksilver, Happy Trails. Thanks for posting this. Oh, HAPPY TRAILS!!
I love the interplay between Stills and Young, which was a trademark not only in their Buffalo Springfield work but in CSNY as well. Also, I'm detecting some traces of what would go into the jam at the end of "Carry On".
Driving up the PCH listening to this on ,y car radio on a Sunday evening near sunset is a great memory. Seems like it went on forever and ended too soon. Yet here I am again.
Most Excellent. Stills. Take Care All.
Great band, fantastic song! Oh the memories!!
You are exactly right, as a guitarist he's right up there with the greats...As a writer/arranger there are few who can touch him...the variety of song styles across three albums in the Springfield catalog is amazing, some of them way ahead of their time...Stills was the genius behind the Springfield, Young a major contributor, but not the driver, that was Stills. Let the shitstorm begin:-)
This song will always remind me of the Guess Who. Both are so great
What a great jam! That's the only album where you can find the 9 minute "Bluebird." My copy's got more crackles and pops than yours. Thanks for uploading it! Great Stephen Stills lyrics too:
Do you think she loves you?
Do you think at all?
Soon she's going to fly away
Sadness is her own
Give herself a bath of tears
And go home
And go home
Mmmmmm! Ear candy...long lasting ear candy!
I bought this album in 1968 I wore it out in late '69 What a Great Group !!!
Thanks for posting this. "Bluebird," arranged much like this, was part of the playlist for the Crosby Stills & Nash tour I caught the show in Boise. Still one of my favorites.
With all the talent of that decade, It's gonna be tough to give the title, 'the best " to any of them.
I had this album, my absolute favourite version of Bluebird. I got this record 'mail order' from Columbia House, very hard to find. When Steve talked David and Graham into bringing Neil into the band he said have you ever listened to us play guitar together? Memories man, such a great album thanx. RPG.👍
Yeah when I bought the box set I was thoroughly disappointed that this wasn't included. Apparently Stephen Stills and Neil Young hated this version.
Neil Young is the one that compiled the boxed set which I have always found interesting since he is the band member that kept coming and going and then just going!
best songs of the 70;s high school the best
This is actually from 1967
From listening to this, one has to derive that the essential tone of the CSN sound was Stills.
wrong. neil young and Richie furay as much as steve I think
@@bobbennert1132 hmmm, ok. But, agree to disagree. Not saying they aren't there, but he is just a very prominent portion. Neil is my fav artist of all time, btw.
Furay wasn't in CSN. Stills WAS the CSN essence. Listen to Suite: Judy Blue Eyes and Wooden Ships. Genius production and musicianship and he basically did it all, including bass and keyboards. And Stills is STILL underrated.
They weren't even trying to outmatch the Beatles with the sitar-guitar leads and they did with their own original efforts- timeless song.
Great song! Thanks for introducing me to this classic!
That Bass and Stephan Stills guitar are awesome.
Great post. Good to hear a little different handling of this song, even with Stills' wailing.
Acid rock-before the term was even coined...ahead of its time & still pertinent today.
Buffalo Springfield's "Sell Out" has this Ultra-Rare Stills-Mixed Version,as does the 2-Lp set "Superstars Of the '70's,Vol. 2,AKA Heavy Metal"!
Oh man... do I remember some long nights going into morning listening to these tunes with friends and zoning out from reality, even if only momentarily. This is the music that could life and carry you away....
stills had his own likeable style, and for my opinion I think his best work was on the "supersession" album with mike bloomfield and al kooper: back to you,soledad
I love that album nice reference
I was 15 in 1966 when I saw these guys play at the Singer bowl (which no longer exists - I thinks its a parking lot in Queens now). They were unbelievable, and Steven Stills really was a musical genius. Head and shoulders above Young.
Why bother with the put-down? In terms of quality and quantity, Neil Young is literally ten times beyond Stills. What's more, Stephen Stills would probably admit this himself. But why do you, a nobody from nowhere, feel the urge to start putting people down in the first place?
Excellent. Thanks.
Thanks for the post! Been looking for this on and off for a long time...! Saw them in January 1968 at Cal State LA in the gym, and it was a "free" concert complete with a Thomas Edison Light Show. An awesome show! Thanks, again, for the post!! CB
first time i've heard this version, love it....
What a great band. I wish someone would re-release this album. Their box set is well worth owning.
agree re Stills, most people talk about the CSN or CSNY stuff, but the Stills solo albums from the 70s are magnificent
this is classic Buff
@pinchercreekvoice ~ I too owned the album back in the day but it's been too long ago for me to recall that Uno Mundo was part of the package. Thanks for the shoutout ~ I was 20 in 1967 and having the best time of my life. Sadly, in February 1969 I was drafted and by June I was stepping off the plane in Vietnam.
This group is one of the few of my favs I did not see in concert. But, my first concert was "The Beatles" back in 1964 here in Baltimore at the Civic Center. Couldn't hear a thing at the concert nor the next day! Didn't have a voice either.
Thanks for the upload. I've never heard this version before. The funny thing is that it just fades out at the end. Probably went on for another five or ten minutes!
Ahhh~~~ Vinyls, wish I had all my old vinyls, this sounds so awesome,
Masterpiece. Thanks for the upload :-)
Masterpiece
Great band and tunes...
This stuff was so far ahead of its time...
I barely knew sorrow yet, my Mom was loosing former students in Viet Nam and she took me to a couple of Peace Sit Ins, and parties in Hermosa Beach at my aunts in 1966. I remember not only hearing all the protest songs and bands of the time, at six I loved all of them and remember this song playing on my aunts record player. I remember getting my first transistor radio in 1971 and listing to KPOI in Hawaii, such great tunes.
Stephen Stills and Neil Young together , incredible combination !!
I remember hearing this back in '67 on Tom Donahues show on KMPX out of San Francisco. So it's been about 50 years now.
I've had this album since the early 90s, didn't know it was the only version avail. only on vinyl
That banjo at the end gets me
The Outstanding version!
I have always loved this. Every phrase of Steve Stills’ verse managed to lead into a novel one, dammit!
In '67 I met Brian Green & Charlie Stone producers of these guys in LA. They were nice people and I met Gene Clark at their studio, a great guy. We had no pretension about fame & fortune...we all just hung out to get a sound.
Might have been nice guys, but Green and Stone were no producers. That's why SS and NY had to learn.
