Page "Buffalo Springfield" Paragraph 17

For many Buffalo Springfield fans it is " Bluebird ", a Stephen Stills composition, that was then and remains the band's peak.

Unlike the studio version – which winds down after the instrumental break with a plaintive rendition of the third verse, accompanied by a banjo – in live performances the opening verses of " Bluebird " served as a springboard for an extended jam session, during which Stills, Young and Furay intertwined guitars for minutes on end.

One such " live jam " version which was officially released on the 1973 compilation Buffalo Springfield had become a staple of FM radio in the late ' 60s and early ' 70s.
