In the summer of 1986, the original members of the Buffalo Springfield met at Stephen Stills’ home to rehearse new material that Stephen and Neil Young were working on and to make tentative plans to reunite for a 20th anniversary reunion tour. The 2 day practice session marked the first time that the five founding members had played together since their break-up in 1967. The rehearsals were kept a secret and my understanding was that management was not keen on having the sessions videotaped. However, after some deliberation, the band over ruled management and decided that they wanted to document the get together.
I’d just finished wrapping a shoot when I received a call with an anxious Bruce Palmer on the other end filling me in- Neil and Richie (Furay) were in town, the Buffalo Springfield were going to be rehearsing, could I make it over to Stephen’s with a camera and lights and be set up in an hour and a half? LMAO! (Nothing like having plenty of advance notice, guys.) As fate would have it, I was on the freeway on my way home from work, I had a camera package in the car and was only 15 minutes away from Stephen’s place. I just happened to be the right person, with the right camera, with the right contacts at the right position in spacetime to record the practice, otherwise we wouldn’t have anything to look at right now.
From what I can remember and from the comments that can be heard on the tapes, at the end of the rehearsal the band was planning on more rehearsals and moving forward w/ the reunion tour. However, the paradigm was about to shift and I saw it happen in front of my eyes.
A couple of weeks later, in wee hours of the morning, I was listening to Stephen laying down some bass tracks in his studio when David Crosby, (who had just gotten out of a Texas jail the day before) made a surprise visit and came through the door with guitar case in hand. I remember the moment as if were yesterday: David: “Hey, Stephen. Do you want to hear some open chords that I’ve been working on in my cell?” Stephen: Uhh…well, hell yeah!” They played together for about an hour and a day or two later Graham Nash showed up. Stephen’s priorities shifted to reuniting with CS&N, in large part, to help out an old friend who was down and out at the time.
A few months later, the Crosby, Still & Nash reunion tour was in full swing, Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin were having a successful run with the Buffalo Springfield Revisited, Neil Young was on the road with the Live In A Rusted Out Garage with Crazy Horse tour, Richie Furay was back in Boulder doing his thing and I wrapped up the rehearsal tapes and put them into a box where they were to remain for the next 30 years. For what it’s worth, from what I’ve been able to dig up, this is likely the only rehearsal footage of the original Buffalo Springfield that has ever been recorded.
The practice session began with a “theme" that was in Neil’s head and moved onto Stephen shredding the guitar on a new blues tune that he was in the early stage of conceptualizing. In this clip, the band is working out the nuts and bolts on a new tune of Neil’s that he would later develop into “Road of Plenty” which made its performance debut during the Crazy Horse tour in November of 1986. The song would, subsequently, evolve into its studio version, “Eldorado”, which was recorded 2 years later and released in the states on Neil's Freedom album.
The song's progression~
Road of Plenty ~ • Neil Young - Road of P...
Eldorado (live) ~ • Neil Young - Eldorado ...
If you like this, stay tuned- there will be more to come.

@@seanhennessey9869 Pretty sure I saw what Damien saw. There is something about Neil that outshines everyone else, which explains why he had such a hard time staying in bands. A lot of the other material by the other musicians was trite by comparison. I was in high school in the 60's. My memories of the Buffalo Springfield were that the Neil Young songs shined above all the other material. He is as good a songwriter as Paul or Brian. Cosmic, unpredictable, using chord changes in his own way, changing keys for the bridges. There are a few geniuses. Joni is another.

This video took me back to the late 60’s when Buffalo Springfield came on the scene and their music was a pure fusion of rock and folk music. I loved their music but sadly I was not able to see them in concert until June 2011 at the Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara CA. Even though only 3 of the surviving members were in the group, as soon as they played their 1st song I flashed back 44 years and listened with tears in my eyes. Buffalo Springfield and Neil Young have been two of my absolute favorite rock groups. Long May their music live on for all of us

Joe Vitale, playing keyboards on this. Interesting that when they finally did a reunion (in 2011), Joe was asked to be the drummer (w/ Rick Rojas taking the bass position). I saw the first show of that short tour (Fox Theatre, Oakland, June), and they were amazing. The next morning, I went to breakfast at a very cool place called Rick & Ann's in Berkeley. The historic Claremont Hotel is across the street, and I guess that the band was staying there for the two days they were playing nearby. I walked in to the restaurant, was seated, and when I sat down, realized that Rick and Joe were at the table right across from me! I left them alone while eating, but when I got up to leave, I stopped and told them what a pleasure it was to see them play with the Springfield the night before. They were very gracious, and Joe simply replied that they were honored to be part of the band. Humble and thankful. I thanked them, and went on my way. RIP Rick ~

They'd all been around the block a few times by 1986 so they were fairly oblivious to the camera presence. I shot a lot of video of bands performing and rehearsing- these guys weren't playing to the camera or thinking much about being recorded. At one point, you can see Neil catching a glimpse of the camera and I get the sense that he'd forgotten that it was there. Like a split second, "oh, yeah." It wasn't until the session ended when it struck Neil that they should get a "video group photo." The player's focus was on the music which gives us a look into the window of their creative process- the real deal and that's what distinguishes the recording of this session, in my mind.

What makes this so cool is seeing that it’s Stephen Stills house, you would think he would have an entire large room or building on the property where they would rehearse. But it appears that he lives in a typical sized house where they all cram into a living room sized room and just jam. It reminds me of how myself and these two I would jam with would all do the same as we would jam into the night, usually coked out of our heads

It became 'Road of Plenty' and evolved into 'El Dorado.' My recollection is that the 'Stick' is what Stephen called it and he had a new Bass Stick that had just come out that he was playing around with... as a matter of fact, on the night that David Crosby came walking through the door unannounced (a night after he was released from a Texas jail), Stephen was laying tracks down w/ his bass stick. Crosby started playing some 'open chord' stuff that he'd been working on in his cell and after awhile, Stephen started picking up on it and fed into David's work w/ his "Stick".

Daniil Lytovchenko Stills was also using an Altair Power Attenuator with that Marshall head through those Lead 12 cabinets with 10” speakers. I had one in the mid 70s. I find that setup of his interesting. I thought he must be using a distortion pedal until I saw the attenuator. It’s also funny to hear an 80s effect like chorus on Buffalo Springfield music. Makes it sound too 80s. It was great video nonetheless.

Yeah, i picked up a bootleg 4-cd collection, "Rock 'N Roll Cowboy", and there's a performance of this song, likely later than this one, which shows the time when Neil is sorting out arrangement, etc. It's so great to hear him and Stills. I can tell they have a shared understanding about the realm of lead guitar, or the sound of "parallel harmonies", which is a sound characteristic of Thin Lizzy, and the Allman Bros. Thanks for this video! It's such a cool thing to see and hear Neil play "Big Black" in such an inventive setting as this.

I first saw this clip maybe 2 years ago and thought what a great tune, and what a pity nothing came of it. Then six months later I stumbled across Eldorado and thought wow that's the song from the Buffalo Springfield rehearsal session!. Since learned it had an earlier incarnation as a road of plenty. One of my favourite Neil Young tracks.

I loved listen to these guys growing up and the different bands they played in. I go to u tube frequently and play my guitar with whomever I am listening to that evening. I am 69 years old and stumbled across this video. To see Neil look at Steven and say man you play that nice and to see Steven smile and get off on his bandmates is awesome. And no I am not forgetting Richie what a talent. The other bandmates are awesome also. Gives me goosebumps to imagine being in that room with those guys that day and playing along with them. What a video thanks for sharing with us.

Hey old man. You got me beat by a year, but who's counting?. ... come to think of it, Richie hasn't gotten very much attention and besides writing some great songs and being part of the Springfield sound, he went on to form up, Poco. During the short amount of face time that I had w/ him, he came across as a laid back guy who was really concentrating on getting into the music while he was playing- that look of concentration was his look throughout, but during breaks he would goof around- there's one spot on the rehearsal vid where he feigns being surprised that the camera is looking at him during a break gives a little wave to the people and smiles that I've got to work into an outtake reel...an idea that just hit me right now...wow lolol thanks for getting me into it... anyways, he was friendly and I sensed that his cordialness brought a calming, mediating influence into the mix. He and Bruce had a connection, in particular. I wonder if that was an extension of a dynamic that the band had 20 years earlier? He's one of the good guys, I think. .

Steven is a great musician and Neil is a musical genius. I recommend going to the 3:20 mark where they start discussing the song and working on it to see how the magic of great music occurs. You can see just how talented Neil and Stills are. The other band members are also impressive in how well they listen and gel. They know that Stills and Neil are the most talented plus they're able to put their egos aside and not say hardly anything. If they had big egos, they would feel the need to have to give their own opinions and suggestions. Instead, they listen closely and flow with where Neil and Stills are going. It's like a well-oiled machine. Neil imparts some vision or insight for 20 seconds, Stills adds to it and the rest of the players are instantly able to go with it ... at a very high level. This clip really shows Neil's creativity and musical mind at work, and helps us understand why he's been able to compose such a huge number of high quality songs. There are only a handful of people like Dylan, Van Morrison and James Taylor who've been able to put out such a high quantity. By the way, great camera work ... with capturing the various band members, and zooming in close at really good angles, and also having people and instruments framed nicely. And you managed to be really right in the middle of them playing, yet it doesn't disturb them at all..

I was told by very reliable sources (ie band members) that Neil Young's manager did not want the rehearsal taped which is the main reason that I didn't get any advance notice about the shoot. In the end, Neil overrode his manager's advice and to his credit, he decided to be a team player and went w/ the wishes of the other band members. Otherwise, the rehearsal would not have been shot. So, among other things, you can thank Neil Young's better judgement for this video.

I'll be putting up a second clip of the rehearsal within the next week. I've u/led a couple of videos of Stephen Stills walk on performance w/ the Buffalo Springfield Revisited on my channel that may be of interest. It was the first time in 18 years that he'd been onstage w/ Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin. It happened before the rehearsal and may have, in part, led to the possibility of the tour that the band was rehearsing for.

19 86....wow I was probably coming down off mushrooms, listening toBuffalo springfield again, or the first Moby Grape LP in Melbourne Australia right at the same time this was recorded.....thats winter 86 (summer in the US) ....i actually saw Neil a couple of years later in Melbourne when he was playing all that Eldorado stuff ,cocaine eyes, rocking in the free world etc.....Dynamite show, probably one of the most memorable concerts ive seen, he came on in patched jeans and a suede jacket from where i was sitting he looked like he had just stepped out of 1969, played an acoustic set and then proceded to destroy all the older Harvest loving fans ear drums with a very loud and wonderful electric set full of classics and new material, more than a couple of the older fans left (?). We thought it was fabulous....there was even a psychedelic light show!
