Buffalo springfield what a great show and venue.

Never thought we'd have the opportunity to see Buffalo Springfield. WOW what a fantastic show. A great musical walk down memory lane and they were just as good as the last time we saw them back in the "old days". Nice to see musicians of our generation still performing at such a high level of skill and enjoying themselves as much as we were enjoying hearing and watching them. ABSOLUTELY GREAT SHOW. Recommend it highly if they come around again! We'll surely be there!

One of the best concerts of my life!

They rocked! Next best thing to seeing the Beatles reunite!

Dream Come True!

I never imagined I would get the chance to see Buffalo Springfield in concert! What an amazing night. To see Neil, Steven, and Richie playing together after over 40 years apart was phenomenal. They may be older, but they can still kick ass on the stage! Neil Young was incredible. And the guitar wars between Neil and Steven Stills were awesome! I feel so fortunate to have seen this incredible band in such a fabulous venue.

A Moment in Time and a Memory worth every penny!

I was an original Buffalo Springfield fan way before I met my husband in 1976. Unfortunately I was not able to see them in concert before they disbanded. I was lucky enough to see Neil Young (God Bless Him), POCO (Loved them!) and of course CSN and then CSNY (had every album). But I never thought I would have the opportunity to see Buffalo Springfield. When I received the email from JamBase that they were on tour, I freaked! The available seats for Oakland were too far back and I was not about to see them after all these years through binoculars so I threw caution to the wind and bought tickets to the Santa Barbara Bowl! My husband was shocked but he knew I was on a mission. So off we went to Santa Barbara where we stayed and saw the show at the beautiful Santa Barbara Bowl. It was one of the best nights of my life and I will never forget it. I had a glass of wine, got a t-shirt and along with the love of my life saw Buffalo Springfield as awesome and amazing as every song I had ever heard on their albums! And yes, it transported me to a different time and left a memory that was worth every penny spent! Actually more!

The sound was a little off in the beginning. Needed a better sound check. But it improved after the first few songs. Loved the playful manner between the band. Enjoyed a lot of the songs.

Great time! Could not have been any better. Neil Young was amazing.

Buffalo Springfield 1st night Santa Barbara

This is by far one of the best concerrts I have ever been to! Spingfield was as into it, as the crowd who had waited 40+ years. Ritchie Furry's voice is still amazing .The" dueling" guitars between Neil Young and Steven Stills was great. It didnt seem like duel after all these years. It was more smiling at each other, and show me what you got. As a added bonus there was a lot of comedy and storytelling in the show ( mainly from Mr Young). I'm so glad they added more up coming dates for the fall.( Please come to Minnesota!) Thank you Buffalo Springfield this was one fantastic show all around.

When the dream came...

This was a great vintage concert, 3 of the original founding members of Buffalo Springfield...WOW! Who'd a thought? Stephen Stills, Richie Furay, Neil Young? WOW. They put on a great show, sounded great, in tune, great songs, nostalgia revisited. I saw this band in 1966 or 1967 while in high school, and here we are all these years later. Great venue too, thank you gentlemen for being at the forefront of the country rock, folk rock, California sound for all those that came after, Poco, CSN, Eagles, Jackson Browne, and so on and so on....B

perfect concert enough said will see them again the santa barbara crowd was just like being in los angeles....somewhat snooty

Big Buffalo Bison Spectaclar Springfield Classic

This is the beginning of the great hymonic rock groups. The power of the buffulos is extraordinary. The diffence in individual style did not show and during this extra special extravaganza They were the rock band that everyone remember listening on the Vertura highway of the individual soul! stupendous

Live reviews

There’s something ironic about the fact that Buffalo Springfield sported one of the most obnoxiously American band names of all time, because the most notable member of the group was a Canadian icon, in the form of Neil Young. Along with his Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young bandmate Stephen Stills, Young formed the crux of a group that reinterpreted the rock trends of the sixties during a brief, two-year spell together between 1966 and 1968, toying with the psychedelic sounds that would soon become de rigeur in the rock scene and hinting at Young’s future country direction, too. None of their three records - Buffalo Springfield, Buffalo Springfield Again and last Time Around - met with a huge amount of critical or commercial success in their day, but the band’s influence on the genre has not escaped notice as they years have gone by, and in 2011, reunited for sic concerts in the U.S. with the three surviving members; Young, Stills and Richie Furay. Running through their back catalogue and closing on Young’s ‘Rockin’ in the Free World’, the shows were a huge success, but plans for a full tour were put on hold in 2012 due to Young’s commitments with Crazy Horse; if it ever does materialise, keep your fingers crossed for some UK dates.

Richie Furay talks Poco, Buffalo Springfield, leaving the pulpit and his bumpy Rock Hall of Fame induction

His musical connection with the all-star San Diego band Back to the Garden has kicked off an exciting new chapter for both

• Show more sharing options

Richie Furay has never lived in San Diego, but the 1997 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and co-founder of the pioneering bands Buffalo Springfield and Poco can credit the city for twice playing a key role in revitalizing his career.

“It sure seems that way!” said the veteran singer-songwriter, who co-headlines the 2022 “Carols by Candlelight” fundraising concerts Friday and Saturday at California Center for the Arts, Escondido. The concerts — both benefitting Rady Children’s Hospital — will also feature Mark Wills, the all-star San Diego band Back to the Garden, Grammy Award-winning Poway Mayor Steve Vaus and his daughter, Anna Vaus.

That Furay’s solo career received two reboots, not just one, in San Diego is all the more intriguing because the two are entirely unconnected and occurred more than a quarter-century apart.

The first, at Humphreys Concerts by the Bay in 1995, brought him out of a 12-year retirement from performing music in public. Starting in 1982, Furay had devoted himself to being the full-time pastor at Calvary Chapel in Boulder, Colo., a position he maintained until just five years ago.

Between 1982 and 1985, he preached and performed songs of faith for his congregation almost exclusively. Then came a series of phone calls from former Boulder pal Kenny Weissberg, who had moved to San Diego and was then producing the annual Humphreys series. Those calls proved pivotal to Furay’s return to public stages — and his re-embracing the secular music that fueled his Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.

The second reboot, which happened just last year, was at a house concert in Scripps Ranch, where Furay teamed with the San Diego band Back to the Garden. It came two years after he had concluded the West Coast leg of what was supposed to be his farewell tour.

Together, these two San Diego reboots serve as memorable bookends for the country-rock pioneer. His list of classic songwriting credits includes Buffalo Springfield’s “Kind Woman” and “A Child’s Claim to Fame,” Poco’s “A Good Feelin’ to Know” and “Pickin’ Up the Pieces,” and The Souther-Hillman- Furay Band’s “Fallin’ in Love.”

‘More personal focus’

Now 78, Furay made a thankfully swift recovery after being being diagnosed with Bell’s palsy — which weakens facial muscles — in 2017, when he also underwent knee and shoulder surgery. The same year saw him step down, after 35 years, from his position as pastor at his 200-member church, which had relocated from Boulder to nearby Broomfield.

“Everything I’ve done in life has been for other people, whether making music or ministering,” Furay said, speaking from the rural Colorado home where he lives with his wife of more than 50 years.

“When I came down with Bell’s palsy at 75, I saw how quickly something can happen to you at my age. So, it wasn’t hard to step down from being the minister. I can still serve, but I don’t have to prepare a sermon every week. Not to be selfish, but since we are still alive, now it’s more about us and family and having little more personal focus.”

An Ohio native, Furay was 8 when he got his first guitar. He was barely 20 when he joined the Cafe Au Go Go Singers folk-music group in New York City in 1964. Its lineup also included Stephen Stills, with whom Furay would re-team two years later in the acclaimed Los Angeles band Buffalo Springfield alongside Neil Young, Dewey Martin and Bruce Palmer.

In 1968, Furay co-founded Poco. The pioneering band helped pave the way for the Eagles and countless country-rock acts.

“It was another lifetime ago, but it was very exciting,” Furay said. “I was a kid from Ohio, making music, who became a part of some very influential bands. It was like: ‘Wow, man!’ I couldn’t have anticipated or planned any of that.”

The bespectacled troubadour is the subject of the upcoming documentary, “ Through It All: The Life and Influence of Richie Furay.” Narrated by Oscar-winning screenwriter (and former San Diegan) Cameron Crowe, the film chronicles the life of a musician who continues to earn acclaim as he nears his 80th birthday.

“Richie still sings amazingly well,” said Back to the Garden guitarist Marc Intravaia. The band of leading San Diego musicians will accompany him at Friday and Saturday’s Carols by Candlelight concerts in Escondido, then re-team with Furay for his Feb. 11 performance at the Poway Center for the Performing Arts.

“With so many older musicians who came up in the 1960s, their singing skills may have diminished,” Intravaia noted. “And here’s Richie, at 78, sounding like he did in 1968!”

Intravaia was in the audience at Humphreys when Furay opened for Emmylou Harris in 1996. It was a year after Furay had come out of retirement to open a concert at the same venue for fellow Buffalo Springfield co-founder Stephen Stills.

“When I became a pastor, I stepped away from doing any more concerts,” Furay said. “Kenny Weissberg, who had been a friend in Colorado, called me and said: ‘Hey, can we get you out here to do a show?’ ”

Weissberg had been a music critic and radio host in Boulder before moving to San Diego, where he curated the Humphreys concert series from 1984 until 2007. He first saw Furay perform with the seminal country-rock band Poco in 1969 in Boston. The concert made him an instant fan.

Reunion with Stephen Stills

Furay was so hesitant to accept Weissberg’s offer to open for Stills at Humphreys that the promoter booked Byrds’ co-founder Chris Hillman, a former San Diegan, instead. When Furay belatedly agreed to play, Stills and Hillman happily reduced their performance times to accommodate Furay.

Nov. 29, 2020

Weissberg’s 2013 memoir, “Off My Rocker,” devotes an entire chapter to Furay. The now-retired concert promoter still vividly recalls the singer-songwriter’s 1995 debut at Humphreys.

“Richie hadn’t played secular music in 10 or 15 years,” Weissberg said, speaking from his Point Loma home.

“He only played 28 minutes that night at Humphreys, in a duo with Scott Sellen, and he got a tremendous response. As Richie came off stage, he beamed and said to me: ‘Boy, you’re really going to get me into trouble!’ He’s a great artist, and I’m still a big fan.”

Weissberg booked Furay to perform as part of each of the next five seasons at Humphreys, including a memorable double-bill with latter-day Buffalo Springfield member Jim Messina.

“Kenny was very instrumental in getting me to even consider going back out and doing mainstream music again,” Furay said. “It was not on my radar until Kenny made it happen.”

Garden harmony

The circumstances that led to Furay teaming up with Back to the Garden were decidedly unlikely.

The band’s members include former Johnny Cash guitarist Jim Soldi, bassist Rick Nash, drummer Larry Grano and keyboardist Sharon Whyte. She does not take part in the band’s performances with Furay because that role is filled by Jack Jeckot, whose musical tenure with Furay predates Back to the Garden’s.

Furay and Back to the Garden’s first joint performance was in Scripps Ranch on Oct. 6, 2021. It took place in the backyard of one of Intravaia’s guitar students, Mark Branning, who had made a generous contribution to help underwrite the production costs of the upcoming Furay film documentary.

“One of the perks for Mark of making that contribution is Richie came here and did a house concert for him,” Intravaia said. “Mark has been my student for 15 years and told Richie and his manager: ‘There’s this great San Diego band that I’d love to have back Richie up.’ They were very reluctant.”

That reluctance continued until T.J. Klay — a San Diego musician who had worked with Furay — put in a good word for Back to the Garden and forwarded YouTube video clips of the band’s performances.

“I was really hesitant because my songs can be very intricate,” Furay said. “But when I heard Back to the Garden open up for us at Mark’s house concert, I thought: ‘This could be very interesting!’

“I ended my set by doing eight of my songs with Back to the Garden that they had learned. We all looked at each other on stage and we couldn’t take the smiles off our faces. These are not only top-notch musicians but some of the nicest people I have met. I did have some drama with my previous band that I won’t go into. The guys in Back to the Garden don’t bring any baggage — or drama.”

Furay was so pleased by the band’s first-rate musicianship and cohesion as an ensemble that he promptly invited Back to the Garden to perform concerts with him last fall in New York and New Jersey. Both dates had originally been part of the East Coast leg of Furay’s 2020 farewell tour, which was rescheduled three times because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“When we finished that concert in New Jersey, Richie pulled Jim (Soldi) and me aside and told us: ‘You have inspired me and I want to keep this going’,” Intravaia recalled. “That was such a great thing to hear from a musician who we grew up listening to and is one of our big heroes. In the 1970s, my band, Listen, played songs Richie wrote when he was in Poco and Buffalo Springfield.

“I think the best thing for him about us is that there are no hidden agendas. We’re not trying to get anything from him, or to meet people in the (music) industry or get more gigs through him.

“It’s just this joyful experience of playing music with him. If Richie wants to play with other people, that’s fine with us. He can just call when he wants to work with us, and I think he sensed that.”

The collaboration has marked the start of a new chapter for the band and Furay, whose 2022 album, “In the Country,” features Vince Gill, former San Diegan Jason Scheff and Timothy B. Schmit, who joined the Eagles after leaving Poco.

Jan. 18, 2017

Furay anticipates doing three dozen concert dates in 2023 — up to three a month on average — some with Back to the Garden and some in a trio with his daughter and keyboardist Dan Scarta.

“Back to the Garden is so good that I can play songs of mine with them that I couldn’t with my previous band,” Furay said.

“I was in a stage of retirement when I met them, just doing (periodic) acoustic shows in a trio setting. I absolutely want to do more with Back to the Garden.”

Furay chuckled.

“I keep thinking I’m going to retire from music,” he said. “But, you know, I think retiring is not in the cards!”

Did you know?

Along with Al Green and Run-D.M.C.’s Joseph Simmons, Richie Furay is one of the very few musicians who is both an ordained minister and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. That distinction was also held by Little Richard and Solomon Burke, both now deceased.

Rock Hall induction a bumpy honor

Richie Furay was understandably delighted in 1997 when he learned he would be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that year as a member of Buffalo Springfield, the legendary band he had co-founded in 1966 with Neil Young, Stephen Stills, Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin.

They were part of that year’s diverse class of inductees, which also included Joni Mitchell, The Jackson 5, Parliament-Funkadelic, Crosby, Stills & Nash, the Bee Gees, The (Young) Rascals and — posthumously — gospel-music legend Mahalia Jackson, bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe and King Records’ founder-producer Syd Nathan.

But the induction ceremony itself left a bitter taste in Furay’s mouth that, 25 years later, has still not disappeared.

“I got a phone call from Neil (Young) after it was announced,” Furay recalled. “He said: ‘Ah, man, it’s so great we’ll be inducted in the hall together,’ because he’d already been inducted in 1995 as a solo artist.

Alas. Young bowed out at the last minute — and it wasn’t by phone.

“When push came to shove,” Furay recalled, “Neil sent a fax saying: ‘I’m not going to be there’.”

Young cited a number of reasons for his decision.

He lambasted the hall’s decision to sign a two-year contract with VH1 to televise the prestigious awards show — which apart from a 10th anniversary compilation special on MTV in 1995 — had not previously been televised beyond a few soundbites. Young also complained that inductees were only allowed to bring one guest for free and that additional tickets were priced at $1,500 and up.

As a result of Young’s no-show, the long-defunct Buffalo Springfield’s four other members were forced to pull out of their hoped-for reunion performance. Young’s absence cast a pall over what should have been a triumphant moment, although he, Furay and Stills got back together for seven Buffalo Springfield reunion shows in 2011 before Young abruptly pulled the plug on 30 more concerts that were planned for 2012.

Speaking backstage at the 1997 induction ceremony to the Union-Tribune and other media outlets, a clearly peeved Furay said: “This isn’t about Neil Young, it’s about the Buffalo Springfield and what’s being bestowed upon us as a group.”

Reflecting on that marred evening now, Furay said: “It was quite an honor to be inducted. But it would have been nice to have the whole band there because we were all alive at the time.

“The fact Neil chose not to come, well, he marches to his own drum.”

55 Years Later: Buffalo Springfield Says Goodbye With Countrified ‘Last Time Around’

• By Doug Collette
• No Comments

Buffalo Springfield’s third album, Last Time Around (released 7/29/68), has one of, if not the most, interesting backstories of any such tales in contemporary rock history. And because it’s also one of the most complex narratives of its kind, it’s taken over a half-century for all the details to emerge since the record’s original release in 1968.

With so much hindsight now available, the thought occurs that, had the Beatles not become so immersed in their own self-generated melodrama, they might well have learned much from the California quintet, not only about how to produce a record album as diverse as it is disciplined but how to then proceed on to their respective solo endeavors (without too much baggage anyway).

Buffalo Springfield had given its final performance (in May)  by the time of this title’s release in July of 1968. But it’s an exceptional album on its own terms, virtually as stylistically diverse as its predecessor, Again, if not quite so ambitious. It’s also noteworthy on a number of other fronts, not the least of which is that, indeed, there was to be a ‘new’ record by the group, Stampede, from which comes one of these tracks, “Pretty Girl Why,” many others of which showed up on the aforementioned late ’67 LP.

More the brainchild of their label than the band itself, the aborted LP was to be released in the summer of 1967 to capitalize on Buffalo Springfield’s hit “For What It’s Worth”.  Written and recorded in December of 1966, virtually coincidental with the release of the group’s eponymous debut, the now-famous track composed by Stephen Stills was added to the album as the title was re-released in amended form in March of 1967. 

Though the song became something of a rock protest standard in subsequent years, neither the Springfield nor their Atco label ever fully maximized the impact of its sole hit. And the prospective sophomore LP, as originally conceived, never materialized, instead giving way to a long-player seemingly as fragmented as the band personnel itself, but ultimately perceived as an eclectic masterwork.

The Canadian’s “I Am A Child,” his only lead vocal on Around , engendered of the few originals of Richie Furay’s for the Springfield on 1967’s Buffalo Springfield Again , a cheery riposte titled “A Child’s Claim to Fame.” Its dobro-dominated arrangement is an early inkling of his subsequent work (with Jim Messina) in Poco and, most appropriately, its tone is far removed from the superficially doleful (but ultimately optimistic) likes of “Kind Woman,” appropriately sequenced as the final cut of this last Buffalo Springfield effort. 

By contrast, the lilting, horn-laden arrangement and performance of Neil’s “On The Way Home” leads off the dozen cuts. Additionally decorated with strings and vibes, there are few if any recordings more representative of Richie Furay’s irrepressibly upbeat nature. Likewise, there’s really no corollary in his discography for the dark moody likes of “In The Hour of Not Quite Rain,” unless it’s this record’s “It’s So Hard to Wait.” 

In hindsight, Stephen Stills’ contributions to this album constitute his next-to-last flurry of inspiration before the creative watershed that is CSN’s debut. “Questions” rocks with as much panache as the mostly authentic exercises in Cuban/Latin genres “Uno Mundo” and “Pretty Girl Why;” displaying those influences arising from his living in Florida and Central America as a child, Stills exhibits a flair for understatement that would desert the man in just a few years.

In that respect, carefully camouflaged topical themes, as present on an ominous rocker by the name of “Special Care” plus the moody “Four Days Gone,” became the most egregious examples of his missing self-restraint. To his credit, however, Stills played piano with all due discipline on those latter two tracks and they are only the most prominent instances of his multi-instrumental skill that would become crucial to his future partnership with Crosby and Nash.  

Producer/engineer (and group bassist at the time) Messina’s “Carefree Country Day” meshes nicely with Furay’s “Merry-Go-Round,” the emphasis on intricate vocal work a foundation of their future artistic partnership in Poco; evolving naturally out of their collaboration in assembling this album, Furay and Messina’s congruence of purpose rendered Last Time Around a seamless piece of work. By the time this album was released, however, all the members of Buffalo Springfield were entering or at least on the threshold of their next projects. 

Furay, Messina, and Rusty Young (who played soft pedal steel on the aforementioned final number) were busy forming the woefully unsung country-rock pioneers. After Stills’ impromptu participation in the Super Session project (with Al Kooper and Mike Bloomfield), he began to align himself more closely with the former Byrd and the ex-Hollie. At virtually the same time, in the wake of his eponymous solo debut, Neil Young initiated what was to be an equally long-term and comparably tumultuous alliance with Crazy Horse, their original moniker referenced on “Running Dry (Requiem for the Rockets),” (a track from their first studio foray together in 1969 Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere ).

Drummer Dewey Martin tried to revive the Buffalo Springfield name with new musicians, but he was sued by Stills and Young to prevent him from doing so. Bruce Palmer briefly joined Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, but legal problems kept him from producing much musical output during the rest of the 1960s. Other temporary Springfield enlistees include his replacement, bassist Jim Fielder, who after a stint with Frank Zappa’s Mothers of Invention went on to join Blood Sweat & Tears. Guitarist Doug Hastings’ stints in this legendary group and membership in an outfit named Rhinoceros is in marked contrast to the prolific output of the high-profile members of Buffalo Springfield.

There’s no question much of the work by Stills, Young, and Furay, in all those varied contexts they’ve appeared (like the David Geffen-manufactured likes of Souther Hillman Furay Band),   has been erratic. Nevertheless, the cream of these various crops –as well as Messina’s highly-popular work with Kenny Loggins–reflects positively on the legacy of a group that existed for barely two years. With the benefit of fifty-five years of retrospect,  Last Time Around sheds a similarly positive light.

One of the most iconic bands of the late-1960s, Buffalo Springfield, left a small historical footprint on the Midwest in 1967, playing a pair of concerts near Kenosha, one in Lake Geneva, and the other in Racine.  

The band was formed in April 1966 in Los Angeles with an original lineup of Richie Furay, Stephen Stills and Neil Young on guitars, Bruce Palmer on bass and Billy Mundi on drums. Mundi was promptly replaced by Dewey Martin. Furay was from Yellow Springs, Ohio. Stills was a military child, born in Dallas, Texas, but raised in a half-dozen places, including Gainesville, Fla., Tampa, Fla., Covington, La., Costa Rica, the Panama Canal Zone and El Salvador. Young was born in Toronto but grew up in Omemee, Ontario. Palmer was from Toronto and Martin from Chesterville, Ontario.

The band’s first live appearance was at the Troubadour in Los Angeles on April 11, 1966. All of their subsequent 1966 concert appearances took place in California, except for a pair of shows in New York City on Dec. 30-31. The band toured almost constantly in 1967, mostly in California, but with dates in Texas and New Mexico in early-February and the Pacific Northwest in late-March.

Then, for three months in the late-spring and summer of 1967, the band toured the Midwest. That leg of the tour got off to an inauspicious start on May 5 at Western Illinois University’s Morgan Gym. After their equipment arrived late from Chicago, the band played an abbreviated set, and the school reportedly canceled its check.

Six dates followed, all second-billed behind the Turtles. Those dates were May 5 at the Swinging Gate club in Fort Wayne, Ind.; May 6 at the KRNT Theatre in Des Moines, Iowa; two shows on May 7 at the Masonic Temple in Davenport, Iowa; May 9 at the Crimson Cougar club in Aurora, Ill. (two miles south of Aurora on Illinois Highway 25 and burned down five months later); May 10 at the DuPage County Fairgrounds Arena in Wheaton, Ill.; and May 12 at Central High School in Hinsdale, Ill.

On May 13, the band played the Cellar Club in Arlington Heights, Ill. That club (1964-70) was first located in the basement of the old St. Peter’s Lutheran Church at 116 W. Eastman Street but later moved to an unused warehouse at the empty Bill Cook Buick at 835 W. Davis, across the tracks from the old Arlington High School. 

Following the Arlington Heights date, the Springfield returned to Los Angeles to fill in for the Byrds at the Whiskey a Go Go on May 17-18 after Roger McGuinn came down with the flu. The Doors were the opening act.

The band quickly returned to the Midwest to play a May 20 show at Roberts Municipal Stadium in Evansville, Ind., with The Outsiders opening. There were two dates on May 21, the first an afternoon show at The Cheetah Club, 1106 W. Lawrence Avenue in Chicago with The Scott Brothers opening. The Cheetah was the once and future Aragon Ballroom. An evening show was supposedly played at an unknown venue in Gary, Ind.

The Midwest tour was scheduled to end on May 24 with a show at an unknown venue in Moline, Ill.  On either May 22 or May 23, there was also a supposed date booked at The Headquarters Club in Wheaton, Ill., but both dates were apparently cancelled due to friction between Young and the rest of the band. Everyone returned to Los Angeles on or about May 22, and Young informed all concerned that he was leaving. As he told an audience in Cincinnati in 1970, “It was sort of a habit I got into.”  

By all reports, Young was gone by May 31, and the band was forced to cancel a series of East Coast appearances, including a costly cancelation on Johnny Carson’s “Tonight Show.”  In those days, an appearance on Johnny Carson often led to an appearance on the more-prestigious “Ed Sullivan Show.” In a 1995 interview, Young claimed that he quit because of the commitment to play on Johnny Carson’s show.

The Springfield returned to Los Angeles and hired Doug Hastings to fill in for Young on dates in Colorado, Texas, Arizona and the West Coast. One of those West Coast dates was the Monterey Pop Festival on June 18, with David Crosby, then with the Byrds, sitting in for Young.

Even though Young was off the road, he was busy. Throughout May and June, he and Jack Nitzsche were hard at work on one of Young’s masterpieces, the song “Expecting to Fly.” Nitzsche, a former arranger for famed producer Phil Spector, first heard the song when Young played it for him on an acoustic 12-string guitar. According to author Jimmy McDonough in his biography of Young entitled “Shakey,” Nitzsche interrupted the performance halfway through and exclaimed, “F*** — what a great song.” 

Nitzsche produced and arranged “Expecting to Fly” at Sunset Sound recording studio in Hollywood. He played electric piano on the track, along with a group of session professionals known as the “Wrecking Crew.” Those musicians included Don Randi on piano and harpsichord, Russ Titelman on guitar, Carol Kaye on bass and Jim Gordon on drums, along with backup singers Merry Clayton, Brenda Holloway, Patrice Holloway, Gloria Jones, Sherlie Matthews and Gracia Nitzsche. Nitzsche recorded the band’s backing tracks in April, while Springfield, with Young still on board, did a short tour of Southern California. Young overdubbed his acoustic guitar and lead vocal tracks in May, and he and Nitzsche spent the next two months tinkering with the tapes.  

As the story goes, Nitzsche later played the recorded version for the Rolling Stones’ Keith Richards, who was rendered speechless. Young gave the finished version to Buffalo Springfield, none of whom played on the track, for their second album, “Buffalo Springfield Again,” which was released in November. In 2018, the song turned into the centerpiece of the documentary, “Echo in the Canyon,” the story of the Laurel Canyon music scene in the 1960s.

Meanwhile, the Springfield, with Hastings subbing for Young, was scheduled to return to the Midwest in mid-July, but Furay came down with tonsillitis. A July 11 date at the Racine YMCA’s New Sound Dance Club was postponed, along with a July 16 date at the Newport Folk Festival in Newport, R.I. A makeup date for July 18 in Racine was also postponed.

The band returned to action on July 19-21 at Convention Hall in Minneapolis, fourth-billed behind Jefferson Airplane, the Electric Prunes and the Shadows of Knight. On July 22, Buffalo Springfield played at the Majestic Hills bandstand in Lake Geneva with the Sidewalk Skippers opening. More on Majestic Hills in Part II of this article.

A July 23 Springfield date at Danceland in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was likely canceled, but on Tuesday night, July 25, Buffalo Springfield, still minus Young, finally played the YMCA’s New Sound Dance Club in Racine, with the Revels of Racine opening. At the time, the downtown YMCA was located at 725 Lake Avenue. According to John Crimmings from First Weber Commercial, who remembers the setup, the dance club was not a dedicated room but was housed in the basement gym. The Lake Avenue building was constructed in 1958, but the YMCA moved out in 2019. The building remains vacant, and First Weber is marketing the building for a possible sale.

Other than a promotional poster for the Racine event and listings on various concert databases, nothing is really known about either of the two Kenosha-area Buffalo Springfield shows. No newspaper reviews, no photos and certainly no tapes. Maybe this article will jolt some memories.

Following the Racine concert, the band played five more regional dates, including July 26 at the Armory in St. Cloud, Minn., playing behind Jefferson Airplane; a supposed July 26 date at the Morgue club in Decatur, Ill. (1985 ½ E. Pershing Road, although it’s listed on the same day as the St. Cloud show); an unknown date at the Dark Spot in Roselle, Ill. (11 S. Roselle Road in a former lumber yard); July 29 at the Historyland Big Top at the Hayward Indian Reservation in Hayward, Wis., supporting the Monkees; and July 30 at the Indian Crossing Casino in Waupaca, Wis.

The Buffalo Springfield would make only four more Midwest appearances before breaking up. In the fall of 1967, the band opened a tour with the Beach Boys, fourth-billed behind Strawberry Alarm Clock and the Soul Survivors. That tour opened on Nov. 17 at the Masonic Auditorium in Detroit, with the remaining dates along the East Coast.  

Any Lynyrd Skynyrd fans reading this? Guitarist Ed King was a member of Strawberry Alarm Clock. One time in 1973, by the service bar of the legendary Atlanta rock club, Richards’, I got to ask King about that band and about the song “Incense and Peppermints.” To his credit, King buried his face in his hands and politely declined to answer any further Strawberry Alarm Clock queries.

The Beach Boys tour resumed in the spring of 1968 with three other Midwest dates, including April 1 at Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Columbus, Ohio; April 2 at the Cincinnati Gardens in Ohio; and April 3 at the Indiana Theatre in Indianapolis on April 3. The Indianapolis show was the last time Buffalo Springfield played the Midwest.

The band’s final concert anywhere came a month later, on May 5, at the Sports Arena in Long Beach, Calif. Young left the band, for good, after the tour ended, and the Buffalo Springfield broke up. Their final album, appropriately titled “Last Time Around,” was released several months later, on July 30, 1968.  

There have been at least three attempts to reform the group. In 1986, the five original members gathered at Stills’ home studio in Los Angeles to rehearse for what was supposed to be a 20-year reunion tour. A fabulous 14-minute YouTube video exists from that rehearsal. The 1986 tour fell apart when Stills decided to rejoin Crosby, Stills & Nash, and both Furay and Young moved on to other projects. In 2010-11, Furay, Stills and Young, along with bassist Rick Rojas and drummer Joe Vitale, performed a short series of reunion shows. The first two were on Oct. 23-24, 2010 at the Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, Calif., as part of that year’s Bridge School benefit concert.  

The partial reunion continued on June 1-2, 2011 at the Fox Theatre in Oakland. Additional dates followed on June 4-5 at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles, June 7-8 at the Santa Barbara Bowl in Santa Barbara, Calif., and June 11 at the Bonaroo Festival in Manchester, Tenn. A full-blown, 30-date tour was booked for summer 2012, but once again, Young moved on to other projects, and the reunion tour fizzled out.

Since the band first broke up in 1968, Young went on to enjoy an astounding career, sometimes with backing bands like Crazy Horse and sometimes solo. He has released 41 studio albums and eight live albums since 1968. Young and Stills, who did an album and part of a tour together in 1976, have also been part of the on-again and mostly off-again group Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Stills has released 15 albums, along with the 1976 joint album with Neil Young and a 2017 joint effort with ex-girlfriend Judy Collins.

After Buffalo Springfield broke up, Richie Furay formed Poco, a very successful country-rock group, before doing two records in 1974 and 1975 as part of the Souther Hillman Furay Band, with Chris Hillman and J.D. Souther. Dewey Martin and Bruce Palmer went on the road in the 1980s with a tribute band called both Buffalo Springfield Revisited and Buffalo Springfield Again before Furay obtained a restraining order barring future appearances.

Other local ties

Since missing the May-July 1967 Midwest tour with the Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young has made up for that by playing 28 concert dates in Wisconsin between 1970 and 2019. A complete list follows below.

In addition to his concerts, Young has also acquired a son-in-law with Milwaukee connections. In July 2013, his daughter, Amber Jean Young, married Rajib Chowdhury. Chowdhury’s father, Abdur, was the chair and professor of economics at Marquette University , and he lived in Menomonee Falls.

The younger Chowdhury attended Brookfield Academy and is an investment banker in San Francisco. Neil’s daughter is an artist who designs mixed media objects on paper, often incorporating text.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel , Neil and Pegi Young, Amber’s mother, were in Milwaukee for a few days in late-May 2013 for several pre-wedding events prior to the wedding in San Francisco.

Jim Messina talks hits, Loggins and tour headed here

The script flipped a long time ago. Now, when evenings come around and it's time to go to town, mamas DO dance and daddies DO rock and roll.

But that never diluted the rebellious fun of Loggins and Messina's "Your Mama Don't Dance," that beloved early 1970s ode to teenagers eager to stay out late on a date.

Jim Messina will perform that hit, his other co-written gems with Kenny Loggins, songs from his days with trailblazing country-rock band Poco and smart, breezy solo singles when he entertains March 28 at The Oaks Theater in Oakmont. Tickets are $45 to $90 at oakstheater.com

After a Midwest swing, the tour heads east and includes dates like April 12 at the Count Basie Center for The Arts in Red Bank, N.J.; April 13 at Musikfest Café i n Bethlehem, Pa.; April 14 at Suffolk Theater in Riverhead, N.Y. ; April 15 at the Newton Theatre in Newton, N.J.; April 16 at Levoy Theatre in Millville, N.J.; April 19 at Jimmy's Jazz & Blues Club in Portsmouth, N.H.; April 20 at Infinity Hall, Hartford; April 21 at Paramount Hudson Valley Theater in Peekskill, N.Y.; and April 22 at Grand Opera House in Wilmington, Del.

"It'll be pretty much my songs, including 'Mexican Minutes' that I wrote and Brooks & Dunn recorded," Messina said. "That's a fun song about getting out of your everyday hustle and bustle and heading south of the border to enjoy tequila and chips. And I'll play 'She's Gotta Rock,' that's another fun one. And, of course the important songs fans grew up with, several in the acoustic set, like 'Thinking of You,' 'House at Pooh Corner,' and 'Danny's Song.' Then I'll introduce more of the country songs like 'You Better Think Twice' and 'Listen to a Country Song' which Lynne Anderson recorded, and 'Holiday Hotel.'"

Fans will recognize Loggins & Messina vinyl cut "Watching The River Run," which Messina said also turns up in the acoustic set.

His five-piece Nashville band features Jack Bruno, who's drummed for Tina Turner and Joe Cocker; Steve Nieves on saxophone and woodwinds; Jim Frazier on keyboard and Guitar; and Ben King on bass.

"I like our music to be exciting but not too loud," Messina said,

His road to fame began as a recording engineer in Los Angeles. Driving home after a long night of work, he flicked on the radio and found himself mesmerized by a song called "Bluebird."

"I thought wow that's really good. It resonated with me as a musician and as a person."

Months later, he was stoked to discover his next recording project for Atlantic Records was the band that recorded "Bluebird," the influential fok-rock group Buffalo Springfield. Amid recording, Messina replaced Bruce Palmer as Buffalo Springfield's permanent bassist, also adding vocals on a few tracks for what would become the group's last studio release. Messina toured with Buffalo Springfield until the group disbanded in 1968.

What busted up the band?

"You'll have to ask (bandmates) Stephen Stills and Neil Young," Messina said.

He and fellow Buffalo Springfield member Richie Furay rebounded nicely by forming Poco (originally named“Pogo” after the famous comic strip character). Poco's appropriately titled 1969 debut "Pickin’ Up The Pieces" is the only rookie album ever to receive a perfect rating from Rolling Stone magazine, boasts Messina's bio, and remains widely lauded as a seminal country-rock release, carving a path for future mega-selling band The Eagles.

Fans of 1970s music debate to this day if Poco got the full credit it deserves.

"I think we got our due," Messina said. "We did what we did, and audiences loved to come see us and we sold out everything."

He ended up on the cover of Rolling Stone several years later after mentoring a young songwriter named Kenny Loggins.

They met in 1970, with Messina initially skeptical if Loggins had the essentials to succeed.

Loggins was a folk singer; Messina felt the music industry had gravitated more toward the soulful rock led by artists like Leon Russell, Joe Cocker, Dave Mason and Delaney & Bonnie.

"Kenny was a project. There were a lot of creative challenges," Messina recalled in a March 3 phone interview. "He hadn't worked with anyone like that before. He had never played in a band, but there was something there I wanted to record. I wanted to see how well he could play."

He recalled their initial meetup, arranged by Columbia Records, starting out something like this:

Messina: Where's your band?

Loggins: I don't have one.

Messina: Well, grab your best guitar.

Loggins: I don't own one.

"I thought really ... are you guys putting me on?" Messina recalled.

Messina handed Loggins a Nylon stringed guitar.

"I had a tape recorder, I pressed the record button and said 'Lay it down.' And out came 'Danny's Song' and 'House on Pooh Corner.'"

Both were future classics.

"I mean, he had his hair parted funnily on one side, braces on his teeth, was kind of lanky. I still needed to think about it," Messina said. "My wife said, 'Well what did you think?' I said I liked the sound of his voice and though the songs he sang weren't rock, they weren't bad. There was potential."

He decided to record Loggins.

"If I was going to be a successful producer I needed an artist I could record who was diversified, and he was willing to work, he was playful, he enjoyed singing immensely and he was open to trying different kinds of music."

Messina convinced Columbia president Clive Davis to let him sit in with Loggins as jazz artists had done with proteges in the past.

That spawned the title of their November 1971 debut "Kenny Loggins with Jim Messina Sittin' In" featuring "Danny's Song" and a "House at Pooh Corner" given baroque touches by Messina.

The duo found instant success, going on to sell 16 million albums in the next six years, amassing 16 million in sales.

There'd be the fiery "Angry Eyes," an FM radio hit that originated from a soundtrack score Messina was working on, where he needed an ominous sound coinciding with the film's outlaws rolling into town.

Loggins and Messina's biggest hit would be "Your Mama Don't Dance," a song about freedom-craving young adults clashing with over-protective parents and other authority figures.

It's a literary subject that dates as far back as Socrates and Plato, Messina said.

"But we managed to capture it in a way that resonated with a lot of people," he said.

Messina could relate from experience.

"My stepfather was very strict, always telling me I couldn't do this, or I couldn't do that," he said. "My mother stood up for me if there was a dance I wanted to go to from 8-11 p.m., and my stepfather didn't want me out past 10. I'd want to be home at midnight. That's a tough negotiation. It's tough being a teenager dealing with parents who don't trust you."

Did his stepdad grow to appreciate "Your Mama Don't Dance"?

"Eventually," Messina said.

As demonstrated with his most recent album, 2016's "In the Groove," a live album featuring the late Rusty Young of his Poco, Messina brings an easygoing storytelling style to the stage.

"I'll do a little bit of that on this tour," he said. "I hate to talk too much in the set, but I know people enjoy hearing a few stories. The acoustic part of the show is more casual."

Buffalo Springfield Announce First Tour in 43 Years

By Andy Greene

Andy Greene

After months of rumors, Buffalo Springfield have announced dates for their first tour since splitting up in 1968. The group – featuring original members Neil Young , Stephen Stills and Richie Furay – are going to play a six-date California tour in early June, leading up to their set at Bonnaroo on June 11th. Young’s longtime bassist Rick Rosas will be taking the place of the late Bruce Palmer and Crosby, Stills and Nash drummer Joe Vitale is filling in for the late Dewey Martin.

“It’s hard to believe 42 years have passed since we played together as the Buffalo Springfield ,” Richie Furay said in a statement. “Over the years, music never stopped flowing from each of us, and it’s come ‘full circle,’ if you will.  And now, we get to share our hearts with you again — yes, Buffalo Springfield again!”

Buffalo Springfield Bridge School Reunion A Triumph

Last October the band performed two nights at Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit. “Before I got the call about the reunion I always told people there wasn’t any chance we’d ever reunite,” Furay told Rolling Stone shortly after the concerts. “Now I’m never going to say never again. We left with the idea that we can do this if we want to.” While no other dates have been announced beyond Bonnaroo and these six California shows, David Crosby recently told Rolling Stone that they are going to probably play more dates in the fall. Furay’s official website says that a tour is “slated for September.”

The group’s setlist at the Bridge School Benefit consisted of music from the group’s brief Sixties run – including “Bluebird,” “Rock and Roll Woman,” “Nowadays Clancy Can’t Even Sing,” “On The Way Home,” “I Am A Child,” “Mr. Soul” and their one big hit “For What It’s Worth.”

“We wound up doing the songs that flowed best,” said Furay. “I was thinking maybe about us doing Steven’s ‘Hot Dusty Roads’ from the first album or ‘Hung Upside Down’ [from 1967’s Buffalo Springfield Again ]. The ones we wound up doing certainly covered the spectrum of our music.”

Gillian Welch is going to open up the newly announced dates.

The Best Buffalo Springfield Songs

By Hal Horowitz

Link copied

With only three albums to their name, released between 1966-68, LA’s Buffalo Springfield created a template for the West Coast country rock aesthetic later popularized by groups such as the Eagles, Poco and The Flying Burrito Brothers.

The trio of talented guitar playing/songwriting frontmen - Stephen Stills, Neil Young and Richie Furay - crafted a sound that remains relevant over 50 years after their demise.

Here is Holler’s list of 15 of the best Buffalo Springfield songs:

Pretty Girl Why

Stephen Stills’ Latin influences reveal themselves on this Bossa Nova-styled pop confection, one of his contributions to 1968’s appropriately titled Last Time Around .

It’s a sweet, simple song that floats in a whimsical pop dream and shows just how diverse the collective’s approach was.

Pay the Price

Stills connects with the twangy closing entry on Springfield’s 1966 debut. The peppy tempo obscures angry lyrics where the singer “sees another man in your eyes,” enlivened by a short but potent guitar interchange between Stills and Young shoehorned into its compact 2 ½ minute runtime.

A Child's Claim to Fame

Ritchie Furay, typically the most country influenced member of the threesome, wrote and sings this, one of his most endearing originals.

The Dobro solo, played by legend James Burton, highlights a song expressing Furay’s frustration with Young. It begins and ends with “There goes another day and I wonder why / You and I keep telling lies”.

I Am a Child

Young used Furay’s previous reference and wrote a song around it, using his voice as an innocent youngster with “I am a child, I'll last a while” over a dulcet folk/country strum. He returned to it often, including it as part of the acoustic opening set of 1978’s Rust Never Sleeps tour.

Never one to abandon a quality hook, this bluesy Stills rocker got lost on Springfield’s final release. He famously returned to it, though, as the end section of CSNY’s Déjà Vu opening track ‘Carry On’.

The query of “Now that we’ve found each other / Where do we go now?” is not on that version but could apply to the uncomfortable situation he found both bands in. 

Sit Down I Think I Love You

Stills checks in with a tasty slice of commercial pop; one that features some gnarly guitar from Neil Young, contrasting with the former’s more honeyed country tone.

It became a far bigger hit when covered by The Mojo Men, a San Francisco based collective that slicked it up substantially, landing at #36 on the singles chart. Donny Osmond also covered it.

Flying on the Ground is Wrong

This poetic, somewhat obtuse, Neil Young-penned ballad with its lilting melody, apparently about a romantic breakup he initiated, was given to Furay to sing.

But Young loved the song enough to occasionally record it in his post-Buffalo Springfield career, including a terrific, country version with his International Harvesters outfit on 1985/’85’s tour, finally released in 2011.

Do I Have to Come Right Out and Say It

The B-side to 'For What It’s Worth' is one of Neil Young’s most melodic works . This easy groover is again sung by Furay, who didn’t have any originals included in the band’s debut.

Three-part backing harmonies foreshadow those from CSNY. The lyrics, concerning why the singer needs to ask his romantic interest for permission to continue, aren’t exactly Dylan-esque, yet the song’s dreaminess is infinitely engaging.

Expecting to Fly

Neil Young’s brooding, atmospheric, string enhanced opus owes as much to producer Jack Nitzsche’s ruminating orchestration as to the writer’s evocative lyrics (likely about a lost love) and the ballad’s achingly quivering vocals.

It still sounds like little else from Young, or any other artist, and remains eerily affecting over a half century beyond its 1968 appearance.

It didn’t take long after this charming country gem closed Last Time Around for Furay and guest pedal steel player Rusty Young to form Poco.

The romantic ode to his wife shimmers with an honesty reflected in the finest classic country and the singer’s sincerity is undeniable, ending the band’s recorded legacy on a melancholy note.

Go and Say Goodbye

Stills strikes again with this lyrically cautionary, peppy country ditty about having to deliver a break-up letter to an acquaintance’s girlfriend, since his buddy doesn’t want to do it in person and “see her cry”.

The brief instrumental middle section mixes in a nifty bluegrass riff too.

Rock & Roll Woman

Another terrific Stills nugget, reportedly about Grace Slick but likely directed to any muse who comforts him, mixes country with blues and even some of the titular rock and roll. The latter is especially noticeable in the distorted guitar break. David Crosby sings backing vocals.

Nowadays Clancy Can't Even Sing

Buffalo Springfield’s first single didn’t fare well, landing at #110 on Billboard’s chart. Regardless, Young’s early composition (written 1965), and sung by Furay, remains one of his strongest if most enigmatic songs.

Furay’s plaintive voice carries the hurt of the titular character who reportedly suffered from multiple sclerosis. The Carpenters covered it with a jazz swing on their 1969 debut.

One of Springfield’s handful of timeless classics finds Stills combining country with bluegrass, rock, blues and adding a dollop of bubbling wistfulness.

Lyrically fuzzy but reflective (the bird might be a woman giving herself a “bath of tears”), his guitar work and the song’s twisty changes remain astonishingly complex, shifting into a unique and idiosyncratic 4 ½ minute suite-styled entity.

For What It's Worth

Springfield’s most recognizable tune about the protests at the closing of an LA nightclub was initially a single released after their debut album, but later added after it became a huge radio hit.

The immediately identifiable folk/blues opening lick has been sampled often. The song has been covered by everyone from Ozzy Osbourne to most recently Stevie Nicks, and has over 400 million streams on Spotify alone.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Mr. Worldwide is headed stateside.

From August through October, Pitbull will take his hits to venues all over North America as part of his forthcoming ‘Party After Dark Tour’ with T-Pain and Lil Jon on select dates.

Along the way, the hitmaker has five (!) New York stops planned.

First, Pitbull and co. swing into Queens’ Forest Hills Stadium on Aug. 25.

After that, the “Feel This Moment” party starter drops by Buffalo’s Darien Lake Amphitheater  on Sept. 6, Syracuse’s Empower FCU Amphitheater on Sept. 7 and Saratoga Springs’ Broadview Stage at SPAC on Sept. 8.

He wraps his NY run at Wantagh’s Jones Beach Theater on Sept. 12.

At all concerts, fans can expect “an electrifying mix of (Pitbull’s) biggest hits…and surprises” according to a press release.

We’d bet good money there will be a “Dale!” or two, too.

If this sounds like the show for you, tickets can be scooped up to get down with Pitbull at all ‘Party After Dark’ gigs as soon as today.

Although inventory isn’t available on Ticketmaster until Friday, April 26, fans who want to ensure they have tickets ahead of time can purchase on sites like Vivid Seats before tickets are officially on sale.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

Pitbull tour schedule 2024

A complete calendar including all tour dates, venues and links to the cheapest tickets available can be found below.

Pitbull set list

‘The Trilogy Tour,’ where Pitbull performed with his pals Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin, wrapped up in March.

While it’s likely Pitbull will have room to stretch on his solo headlining tour, here’s what he played at a ‘Trilogy Tour’ gig back in February at Raleigh’s PNC Arena, according to Set List FM .

01.) “Don’t Stop the Party” 02.) “Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor)” 03.) “Hotel Room Service” 04.) “International Love” 05.) “On the Floor” (Jennifer Lopez cover) 06.) “DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love” (Usher cover) 07.) “Gasolina” (Daddy Yankee cover) 08.) “Shake” (Ying Yang Twins cover) 09.) “Culo” 10.) “I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)” 11.) “JUMPIN” (Lil Jon cover) 12.) “Timber” 13.) “Fireball” 14.) “Time of Our Lives” 15.) “Give Me Everything”

Pitbull new music

On Feb. 16, Pitbull dropped the sample-heavy, seven-song “Trackhouse (Daytona 500 Edition).”

Filled to the gills with Pitbull’s classic plain-spoken vocals and fiery beats, the mini album is another essential entry into the Miami rapper’s canon.

After a few spins, our team fell in love with the infectious, clap happy “Get Get Get Down,” his “Powerful Women” duet with Dolly Parton and sincere tribute to Jimmy Buffett, appropriately titled “Thank God and Jimmy Buffett.”

Don’t sleep on the slinky closer “Guantanamera (She’s Hot),” either.

If you want to check it out for yourself, “Trackhouse (Daytona 500 Edition)” can be streamed here .

T-Pain solo tour

At all shows, Pitbull will be joined by T-Pain of “Buy U A Drank,” “Bartender” and “I’m Sprung” fame. The ‘Party After Dark Tour’ isn’t the only engagement on T-Pain’s calendar this year, though.

When he’s not on the road with Mr. Worldwide, he’ll conduct a tour of his own this year as well.

Want to see if he’s headed to your neck of the woods?

You can find tickets for all 2024 T-Pain concerts here .

Lil Jon solo tour

Toward the end of the run, Lil Jon is scheduled to accompany Pitbull on the road.

Before that, he’s also hitting the road for a few headlining gigs as well.

Legendary rock band Aerosmith schedules finale of 'PEACE OUT' farewell tour in Buffalo

The iconic rock band Aerosmith announced additional dates for their 'PEACE OUT' farewell tour — and Buffalo appears as the final stop.

The final tour has 40 stops across the United States from September through February, according to an announcement on the band's Facebook page .

Aerosmith has been a cornerstone of American rock music since the band formed in Boston in 1970. With one of the most recognizable lead vocalists in music, Steven Tyler, the band has left a significant impact on the industry, producing chart-toppers 'Dream On' (1973), 'Sweet Emotion' (1975) and 'Walk This Way' (1975) among many other notable songs.

Here's what we know about the show in Buffalo.

When and where is the Aerosmith show in Buffalo?

The announcement posted to the band's Facebook page shows the tour finale of Aerosmith's 'PEACE OUT' farewell tour on Feb. 26 at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, rescheduling from the band's canceled show from earlier this year.

Why did Aerosmith reschedule its Buffalo show?

The band's Buffalo performance scheduled for Jan. 16 was postponed after Tyler damaged his vocal cords during the Sept. 9 show in Elmont. He was initially advised by doctors to rest his voice for 30 days, according to USA TODAY , but sustained additional damage, including a fractured larynx that led to subsequent bleeding.
