As I've mentioned several times on this blog, quality recordings of Buffalo Springfield are next to impossible to find. In addition, the few you do come across always seem to be missing one member or another of the band, a reflection perhaps of the constant in fighting that eventually ripped the Springfield apart. This soundboard recording, from August 11, 1967, a half century ago this very day, in Huntington Beach, CA, is no exception. While original members Stephen Stills, Richie Furay, Dewey Martin and Bruce Palmer were all present and accounted for, Doug Hastings sat in for Neil Young at this show, just as he had two months earlier at Monterrey Pop. Neil had left the band in early spring after a dispute with Stephen. Ironically, the next day, Buffalo Springfield had a 2nd show in Huntington, and Neil was back on stage, with the band unceremoniously dumping Hastings. Even without Neil, this is an historic recording, as it is one of the longest and best sounding shows available of this legendary, but short lived band. By the way, thanks to Rock Rare Collection Fetish for the artwork!

It was actually David Crosby who filled in for Neil at Monterey. This is well documented and was the reason (or at least fueled the fire) that Roger McQuinn kicked him out of The Byrds.

Actually, it was both. You are righ that Crosby sat in with the Springfield at Monterrey Pop and it did cause tension between him and McGuinn. But Hastings was at Monterrey Pop with the Springfield as well, as documented here: http://www.allmusic.com/artist/doug-hastings-mn0002146444/biography

Thanks for this.

As you state, the seeds for the Springfield's destruction had already been sown. Going forward, it's a wonder Stills and Young would work together as often as they would.

Thanks so much for this. I have a fb friend from HB and she doesn't remember the club although she was 17 at the time. She fears she's getting old! LOL Do you happen to know where in HB it was situated? Best wishes, Paul
