Buffalo Springfield Tour Scheduled for 2012, Says Spokesperson
Last month, many drove hundreds of miles and waited hours just to see Buffalo Springfield, fresh off a 40-plus-year hiatus, play Bonnaroo. The wait was worth it as Buffalo Springfield — surviving founding members Richie Furay, Stephen Stills, Neil Young plus bassist Rick Rosas and drummer Joe Vitale — played classic tracks ‘For What It’s Worth’ and ‘Mr. Soul’ like they hadn’t skipped a band practice since 1968, the same year their last studio album, ‘Last Time Around,’ was released. But fans waiting to see Buffalo Springfield on the 30-date fall tour hinted by Furay and Stills earlier this year in a Rolling Stone interview, are going to have to wait a little longer.
On Thursday (June 30), Furay posted a message on his Facebook page informing the tour would not kick off until the beginning of next year. “I’m not going to spend a lot time here with details as you speculate among yourselves,” Furay wrote. “There’s nothing to speculate about, the tour has simply been moved.”
Today (July 1), a spokesperson for the band confirmed to Spinner that the tour was, in fact, still a go: “The Buffalo Springfield tour has been scheduled for 2012. Richie, Stephen and Neil remain incredibly excited about the tour. As soon as routing and dates are confirmed, Buffalo Springfield will announce all details to the public.”
The classic rockers reunited last October at Young’s annual Bridge School Benefit Concert. Since that evening, they have played only half a dozen shows together, including their epic Bonnaroo headlining spot that left thousands of people thirsty for more. Don’t believe us? Just check out footage of the band jamming out to ‘Mr. Soul’ from the fest below.

“The album cover.” – Bob did an investigation about the album cover photo:
The photo was taken by photographer Joel Bernstein, most likely sometime in early 1970, as the album came out in August of that year.
In the book: Shakey: Neil Young’s Biography ((c) 2002, Random House) author Jimmy McDonough writes that Bernstein, 18-years-old at the time, was “shocked” that Neil chose that photo for the cover. Bernstein described it as an “accidental shot” of Neil walking through Greenwich Village (during an outdoor photo session) and he even “solarized the print in order to hide its soft focus.”

Earlier this evening, Richie Furay reported on Facebook:
” For those of you getting excited about the Buffalo Springfield fall tour – word has just come to me that it has been moved to the first of next year. I’m not going to spend a lot time here with details as you speculate among yourselves – there’s nothing to speculate about, the tour has simply been moved. ”
So, the 30-dates tour is postponed, and of course we do not speculate…

Hamilton’s Luke Doucet, Grammy-winning Montreal rockers Arcade Fire and Neil Young are among a list of 40 Canadian artists who have been longlisted for the $30,000 Polaris Music Prize.
The 40 nominees, announced Thursday, will be whittled down to a short list of 10 to be announced July 6, with a winner to be crowned at a gala on September 19.
The long list includes plenty of familiar names, including Ron Sexsmith, Stars, Buck 65 and Black Mountain. Doucet’s acclaimed album is Steel City Trawler.
But many buzzy artists found themselves receiving their inaugural Polaris acknowledgment for their debut releases, including Toronto indie R&B outfit the Weeknd, Montreal-based singer-songwriter Little Scream and the Kingston, Ont., duo PS I Love You.
This is the sixth year of the Polaris, which seeks to honour the best Canadian album from the previous year. The prize is judged solely on artist merit, without regard to genre or record sales, and is voted on by 227 music journalists, broadcasters and bloggers from across Canada.
Past winners include Dundas native Caribou.
