Bye Bye Bluebird.

Mr Soul meets Rock And Roll Woman, to battle for number one.

 

Mr. Soul to exit.

DQ: No.

 

I've seen CSNY twice, 1974 and 2006, they did On The Way Home and For What It's Worth, respectively. It was incredible seeing Neil play the leads on FWIW on his Gretsch.

I've seen Neil solo several times, 1978 through 2004, he's done I Am A Child and Mr Soul, speaking of which, it's about time Mr Soul exited gracefully.

 

I've seen Stills (solo, CSN, and with Judy Collins), Neil (solo and CH), and Richie Furay.

Almost always a great time.

 

Bump.

 

Voted for Mr. Soul.

Have seen CSN 3 Times. They were great the first time I saw them on the After the Storm tour. Before then I always thought that without NY they wouldn't be that interesting since I only knew their hits. Made me realize how much each member contributes to the band and turned me into a fan of all 3 of them.

Last time I saw them in the early 2000's they were good, but Stills signing had really declined. Sounded like he just got new dentures or was having problems with his teeth. Thankfully he seems to have corrected that issue and has sounded better since 2014 on the YouTube clips I have watched.

 

"Rock and Roll Woman"

DQ: All together about a dozen times between solo Stills, solo Young, CSN, and CSNY. Never seen Richie.

 

Mr. Soul.

DQ: I've never seen any live.

 

Rock and Roll Woman to go. I've seen Stills and Young live, but not Buffalo Springfield.

 

Rock and Roll Woman

DQ: No.

 

I've never seen Buffalo Springfield live.

 

I've seen Stills and Young several times in various iterations, mostly at the Bridge School Benefit concerts. I ALMOST saw Richie with Poco after their reunion album, but Richie had quit the tour by the time they came to the Circle Star Theater. I saw the reformed Buffalo Springfield at the Bridge Benefit and in Oakland on the following mini-tour. It was great to finally see the core members playing the old tunes, but I still wish I could time travel back to '66 and '67 to see the full band in their prime.

 

Goodbye Mr Soul. Of course, I love the Trans version!

CSNY: Saw them on Y2k Tour and maybe one more after that. Way more enjoyable than I would have thought. 49 Byes Byes and 8 Miles High were standouts.

Stills: Saw him a couple of weeks back at Light Up The Blues benefit, along with Neil and others. Fun night.

NY: Rust Tour; Trans Solo; Shocking Pinks; International Harvesters Tour; Garage Tour, Life Tour, Blue Notes Club Tour; Freedom Acoustic; Weld Tour; B-Arrow Tour; HORDE Festival; 99 Solo Tour; Family and Friends Tour; Fork In The Road Tour; Le Noise Solo; NYCH in Fresno on May 2.

 

Begrudgingly Rock And Roll Woman
Have seen Stephen Stills many times Solo, with Manassas, with CS&N, with CSN&Y and the Stills Young band. Seen Neil Young many times Solo, CSN&Y, with the Stray Gators, Crazy Horse, Blue Notes, Stills Young band and Promise Of The Real.

 

I predict Mr. Soul will win this but I think Bluebird is the better song.

 

The 6 top songs are masterpieces, voted for Bluebird to go.

 

Mr. Soul

CSNY '00

 

My vote for "Mr. Soul".

Never seen Buffalo Springfield live.
Saw Neil Young in the summer of 2013. A good, but not a great concert.

 

R&RW, I guess.

Wrong. Try again, everybody.

DQ: oddly, no. I'd like to see Neil, but only with $50 front row seats.

 

RnR Woman

DQ: never saw BS. Some of the finest performances I’ve seen were by Neil, CSN, CSNY.

 

Rock and Roll Woman is probably my 2nd favorite non-Neil Young written BS song.

 

Final bump.

 

Oh to see or hear a good recording of the original Buffalo Springfield...
This band and The Velvet's not recorded live and not filmed in the 1960's might be the two biggest travesties of that decade. Sorry what was the discussion question again?
