Buffalo Springfield

Before the live performance captured in the video "For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield Cover," Buffalo Springfield released their seminal self-titled debut album in 1966, which included the iconic track "For What It’s Worth." This song is particularly significant as it addressed social unrest and anti-war sentiments during a tumultuous period in American history. The band's unique blend of rock, folk, and psychedelic sounds helped them gain a dedicated following and influenced numerous artists in the decades to come. By the time of this live recording, the band was known for their powerful use of lyrics to confront societal issues, and "For What It’s Worth" became an anthem for the counterculture movement. The live performance illustrates the enduring legacy of this classic track, showing how it resonates even in contemporary settings like the roof of the Streamline Hotel in Daytona Beach.
