Hi dino, Neil is heading towards 70 and as far as I'm aware him and Willie are still smoking. IMHO

Re: Farm aid

I heard that Neil and Stephen Stills are reuniting and doing a tour as Buffalo Springfield. I'm not sure if any of the other original members are participating nor have I heard of any confirmed venues or dates. Anyone else hear anything about this?

Re: Farm aid

That would would be worthwhile for sure.  I'd like to see Buffalo Springfield, at least in part.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Farm aid

Eight or nine years ago, CSN was coming to town.  Eh, I thought.  Then when I heard that Neil Young was joining them, I bought tickets.  I figured, "How long can these guys last after all the abuses they've done to their bodies?"  Well, I guess they had more staying power than I gave them credit for having. 

Neil Young and Steven Stills playing together was amazing.  They got to jamming big time on "Cinnamon Girl".  David Crosby gave up.  He had a stage hand bring him a stool from the acoustic set they had done and just sat on stage with his back to the audience and watched them play as if he was a part of the audience rather than a part of the band.  Graham Nash hung in there on keyboards, but he was playing straight chords and keeping time.  Neil Young and Steven Stills were playing intertwining solos that built off of one another and sounded so incredibly good.  It was obvious that it was Woodshed time and they were just jamming.  I guess playing together for forty years will do that for you.
