Buffalo Springfield Reunited Children, what's that sound? Buffalo Springfield reunited By Marco R. della Cava, USA Today, 10/25 MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Wow, man. There's tie-dyed Woodstock emcee Wavy Gravy getting wanded by security. Backstage, check out psychedelic album-art maestro Stanley Mouse, sketching up a storm. On stage? How about Buffalo Springfield, ripping through nearly a dozen of the band's hits? Who says you can't go back? Saturday's '60s throwback came courtesy of Neil and Pegi Young's 24th annual benefit concert to support the Bridge School, which educates 1 / 7 Children, what's that sound? Buffalo Springfield reunited children with severe impairments. Although the lineup for the all-acoustic, eight-hour affair was typically eclectic, the undeniable focus was on Young's first public reunion with remaining original members of his old band, formed with Stephen Stills and Richie Furay in the musical cauldron of 1966 and disbanded two years later. Springboard to fame The surviving trio did their late bandmates, Bruce Palmer and Dewey Martin, proud. Opening with a slightly slowed version of the Furay-led On the Way Home, Stills and Young dutifully fell into supporting roles on harmony. 2 / 7 Children, what's that sound? Buffalo Springfield reunited Furay, dressed in a black cowboy shirt, stayed in the spotlight with A Child's Claim to Fame, Do I Have to Come Right Out and Say It and Kind Woman. But the men flanking him would soon show their stuff, making it instantly clear why Springfield was fated to be a passing phenomenon. Young, wearing a fringed brown suede jacket, turned to the children in wheelchairs camped out on stage and told them "This one's for all you kids" before launching into the poignant I Am a Child. Stills, noticeably formal in a sports jacket and tie, matched Young's small masterpiece with his Springfield anthem, For What It's Worth. He added Bluebird for good measure, to the hoots of many of the rained-upon 22,000 packing Shoreline 3 / 7 Children, what's that sound? Buffalo Springfield reunited Amphitheater. "We're Buffalo Springfield, thank you very much," Young announced, seeming to relish the retro pronouncement. Then the trio ripped into Young's roaring Mr. Soul. The evening closed with a jam on Rockin' in the Free World, which featured most of the event's guests: Pearl Jam, Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, Lucinda Williams and Jackson Browne. The rest rocked, too Among the pre-Springfield highlights was Kris Kristofferson singing a faint but heartfelt Me and Bobby McGee, after which he asked the crowd to send 4 / 7 Children, what's that sound? Buffalo Springfield reunited prayers to ailing friend Merle Haggard, whose health prevented him from appearing. "Merle's the closest thing to Hank Williams as we got on this planet," he said. In the shocking category was Billy Idol, who followed with as raucous a 30-minute set of proto-punk as could be summoned from acoustic instruments. After bopping through his radio hit Dancing With Myself, Idol wrapped with Rebel Yell. Pearl Jam captured the crowd with a compact set of recognizable hits such as Better Man. But the real treat was seeing Young join his favorite 5 / 7 Children, what's that sound? Buffalo Springfield reunited Seattle rockers for Walk With Me, from Young's new album Le Noise. While Young stomped through the monster chords, Eddie Vedder took over lead vocals while "Uncle Neil" (as Vedder called him) looked on with an approving smile. Sunday provided largely a repeat of Saturday's extravaganza, both of which opened with folk rockers Grizzly Bear and indie stars Modest Mouse. Two notable changes: a torrential downpour that didn't diminish the crowd even slightly and the replacement of Williams, Browne and Idol with T Bone Burnett's Speaking Clock Revue, which included Elton John, Leon Russell, Ralph Stanley and actor Jeff Bridges. 6 / 7 Children, what's that sound? Buffalo Springfield reunited Elvis Costello kicked the revue off with his vaudevillian A Slow Drag With Josephine ("rock 'n' roll, but as envisioned in 1921"), the weather-appropriate Jimmie Standing in the Rain and his Haggard-dedicated National Ransom. 7 / 7.

  • Songs of the Century
    Songs of the Century T. Austin Graham hat is the time, the season, the historical context of a popular song? When is it most present in the world, best able Wto reflect, participate in, or construct some larger social reality? This essay will consider a few possible answers, exploring the ways that a song can exist in something as brief as a passing moment and as broad as a century. It will also suggest that when we hear those songs whose times have been the longest, we might not be hearing “songs” at all. Most people are likely to have an intuitive sense for how a song can contract and swell in history, suited to a certain context but capable of finding any number of others. Consider, for example, the various uses to which Joan Didion is able to put music in her generation-defining essay “Slouching Towards Bethlehem,” a meditation on drifting youth and looming apocalypse in the days of the Haight-Ashbury counterculture. Songs create a powerful sense of time and place throughout the piece, with Didion nodding to the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Quick- silver Messenger Service, and “No Milk Today” by Herman’s Hermits, “a song I heard every morning in the cold late spring of 1967 on KRFC, the Flower Power Station, San Francisco.”1 But the music that speaks most directly and reverberates most widely in the essay is “For What It’s Worth,” the Buffalo Springfield single whose chiming guitar fifths and famous chorus—“Stop, hey, what’s that sound / Everybody look what’s going down”—make it instantly recognizable nearly five decades later.2 To listen to “For What It’s Worth” on Didion’s pages is to hear a song that exists in many registers and seems able to suffuse everything, from a snatch of conversation, to a set of political convictions, to nothing less than “The ’60s” itself.

    Cover photo by Ebet Roberts 18 AIRTO He calls himself the "outlaw of percussion" because he breaks all the rules, but that's what has kept Airto in demand with musicians such as Miles Davis, Chick Corea, and Weather Report for almost two decades. His latest rule-breaking involves the use of electronics, but as usual, he has come up with his own way of doing it. by Rick Mattingly 24 GILSON LAVIS Back when Squeeze was enjoying their initial success, drummer Gilson Lavis was becoming increasingly dependent on alcohol. After the band broke up, he conquered his problem, and now, with the re-formed Squeeze enjoying success once again, Lavis is able to put new energy into his gig. by Simon Goodwin 28 BUDDY Photo by Ebet Roberts MILES He made his mark with the Electric Flag, Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsies, and his own Buddy Miles Express. Now, active once again with Santana and the California Raisins, Buddy Miles reflects on the legendary music that he was so much a part of. by Robert Santelli 32 DAVE TOUGH He didn't have the flash of a Buddy Rich or a Gene Krupa, but Dave Tough made such bands as Benny Goodman's, Artie Shaw's, and Woody Herman's play their best through his driving timekeeping and sense of color. His story is a tragic one, and it is thus even more Roberts Ebet remarkable that he accomplished so much in his by relatively short life.
