Buffalo Springfield: "Mr Soul" Video

Extremely classic video clip from the heyday of Buffalo Springfield on "Hollywood Palace" in 1967 performing Stephen Stills "For What It's Worth" before seguing into Neil Young's "Mr. Soul".

The clip is hosted on YouTube (to play directly, click icon in center of frame below).



The clip is quite a historical document of the era. Drummer Dewey Martin wears a nice coat and tie while Neil is decked out in a buckskin fringe jacket looking like a Hollywood Indian. Neil patiently sits on an amp while Stills does a brief "For What It's Worth" before launching into "Mr. Soul".

Also, note the bass player out in front of the stage with his back to the audience? Can't be Bruce Palmer because he has just been busted on possession charges. Legend has it that it's band roadie Dickie Davis pretending to play bass. Reality TV in it's early stages...
