For What it’s worth….
On May 5, 1968, Buffalo Springfield gave their last concert at the Long Beach Arean in California.
According to an article by Dave Swanson at the website “Ultimate Classic Rock.”
‘Buffalo Springfield were always a house of cards caught in a hurricane. Neil Young was — and still is — famous for going wherever his muse takes him, others be damned. From the band’s earliest days Young had issues to deal with, including the onset of epilepsy, constant drug use, and apprehension about the band management and the music business in general. On May 5, 1968, Buffalo Springfield gave their final performance as a group.

Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young 1974 Live Album Put Off Until Next Year
Add the upcoming 1974 live album by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young to the long list of CSN projects that will be out “someday.”
Scheduled for August 27, the document of the groups 1974 tour is now pushed out until 2014. Graham Nash told ABC Radio News that there are two reasons for the delay.
“We were gonna bring it out in August, but next year is the 40th anniversary of the tour, and so I’m gonna wait for spring of next year.
“You gotta understand, our shows were three or four hours long and there are four of us and we were all writing like crazy. I just found a one-minute, 10-second song of Neil Young’s about Richard Nixon that I can’t leave off. It’s brilliant…So, my point is, I’m still forming and shaping the album.”
For those disappointed by the delay, know that the wait may be worth it as the release should contain around 38 songs.

Neil Young is among the musical artists helping to fight poverty by supporting a new awareness program called Global Citizen Tickets Initiative.
According to an article posted today at RollingStone.com, the legendary Canuck singer-songwriter will join a huge list of stars, which includes: Bruce Springsteen, Black Sabbath, Pearl Jam, Beyonce, Kanye West, Heart, Rihanna, No Doubt, Foo Fighters, My Morning Jacket and many others that have agreed to donate a pair of tickets to each show they perform over the next three years.
Conceived by Pearl Jam manager Kelly Curtis and Hugh Evans, the chief executive of the Global Poverty Project, the program places the donated tickets into a lottery, where they’re available as motivational tool to users who earn points by raising money for charity or raising poverty awareness by sharing educational Facebook videos.
Fans who accumulate between 10 and 20 points can “spend” them on prize drawings for tickets.

Bassplayer has a nice interview with Billy Talbot:
Horse Sense: Billy Talbot on Energy, Emotion, and Free Expression with Neil Young
By JIMMY LESLIE
Wed, 17 Apr 2013
NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE’S BILLY TALBOT POSSESSES A PROFOUND UNDERSTANDING of how to pick up on a tune and make it flow.
From the explosion of 1969’s “Cinnamon Girl” on through “Hey Hey, My My” and into the present, Talbot has been Young’s rhythmic compass and eternal energy source. NY&CH convened to record at Young’s house during full moons last spring and summer.
…
What is at the heart of your bass style, and how do you apply it to Crazy Horse?
My bass style is simply to keep the feel flowing. I don’t like to make up things, per se. I like to let elements beyond playing the changes and the groove come to me within the feel as the song progresses. We don’t play R&B songs built on dominant bass lines; our songs are all about the lyrics or the sincere expressiveness of Neil’s lead guitar, so mostly my job is to play a lot of root notes with the main feel, and stay that way for however long is required with energy. Capturing that magic is really important to Crazy Horse, so we like to record a new song the first time we perform it.
