Buffalo Springfield

In early 1967, Buffalo Springfield was at a pivotal moment in their career, having just released their self-titled debut album in December 1966. This album included the iconic track "For What It's Worth," which became emblematic of the social upheaval of the 1960s. The live recording from the Hollywood Palace on January 1, 1967, showcases the band during a time when they were rapidly gaining popularity and recognition for their blend of folk and rock influences. Notably, the performance of "For What It's Worth" reflects the band's engagement with the political climate of the era, capturing the essence of youth activism and protest. Additionally, the lineup featured Neil Young and Stephen Stills, both of whom would later become major figures in rock history, thus underscoring the significance of this live recording in the broader context of their evolving legacy.
