For what it's worth...

Stephen Stills, Richie Furay and Neil Young of Buffalo Springfield perform at the Bridge School Benefit in Mountain View, California on October 23, 2010.

(From Rolling Stone)- It has been public knowledge for weeks that the surviving members of Buffalo Springfield were going to reunite at Saturday’s Bridge School Benefit in Mountain View, California — but somehow it didn’t seem real until Neil Young, Stephen Stills and Richie Furay walked onstage and played the opening chords of “On the Way Home.” The three men hadn’t shared a stage together since the final Buffalo Springfield concert in 1968, but as soon as their voices merged, it seemed as if no time had passed for them at all. Some of the songs hadn’t been performed by anyone in the band since Lyndon Johnson was president, but after a week of rehearsals, the band gave a near-flawless performance. It was the clear highlight of a remarkable seven-and-a-half hour concert. - complete article

Email from Gus P, the legendary Westie Punk and, arguably, the greatest trivia  resource of all time:
Thanks for the update on one of my favorite groups during my high school years.  Since Dewey Martin is dead, they weren't able to perform "Good Time Boy," a song I enjoyed as a teen.  Also, too bad the Giants didn't do this with all their good early and mid 60's teams, when I followed sports.
