David Crosby has revealed that Buffalo Springfield will embark on a reunion tour later this year. Crosby said that the ’60s folk-rockers, which include Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay, will perform some dates in the Fall. It will be the band’s first tour since 1968.The three surviving Buffalo Springfield members reunited last fall for performances at Young’s Bridge School Benefit. Crosby said his Crosby, Stills and Nash bandmate is definitely up for doing more.
“I think he is excited,” Crosby says of Stills. “And I’ve got to tell you, I didn’t get to see them live, but I watched clips and Richie [Furay] – I got to tell you, man, he is so happy onstage and is such a joyful energy.”
According to Crosby it was Furay who made the reunion happen.
“He really sparked that thing, and I think it was a very pleasant experience for Neil and Stephen both,” Crosby said. “I know they’re going to go out for at least some dates in the fall. Personally, I’d like to go watch. They’re one of my favorite bands.”
Furay’s manager confirmed that the group is making plans to tour. Crosby said he wishes the tour could be even more special and include a Byrds reunion, too.
“I wish I could throw it in with the Byrds,” he said, referring to his pre-CSN band. “That would be my dream, because everybody and their uncle would come to see the Byrds and Buffalo Springfield. But that’s not going to happen. Roger [McGuinn] is pretty adamant about that. He’s very happy about being a folksinger; he likes it, and wants it that way.”
