No one Was AWARE This Band Was a SUPERGROUP Until Years After They Broke Up! | Professor Of Rock

Подробнее о видео

Up next an interview with 2 rock hall of famers who were in the 60s band Buffalo Springfield. Stephen Stills, who also went on to form Crosby Stills and Nash and Ritchie Furay. Both share their experience of creating a historic hit that defined its time. They were part of a supergroup and at the time nobody was aware that it was a supergroup…This rookie band actually recorded this classic secretly under their producers' noses because they wouldn’t allow the band to play together, they had been recording them separately and then combining the tracks into one mono track, making their sound weak. Ironically one of the band members Neil Young would spend his career lashing out at commercials using rock music and years later this song would be used in a beer commercial. The song was written in a 10-minute car ride after the Stephen Stills had witnessed something very troubling and originally the song didn’t even make it onto the debut album but after it was an accidental hit and they added it onto a second pressing. The interviews are coming up next.

I have to say I feel extremely fortunate to do what I do. It’s been a dream come true to have interviewed some of the greatest artists in history about the song that has been the backbone of my life since I can remember. Every once in a while I have a pinch-me moment that goes beyond interviewing an artist about one of their creations. There are definitely levels and this next story is at the highest echelons of my experiences. When you get to talk to a legend about composing one of the songs that changed the social context of our existence.

Some may think I’m spewing hyperbole, but I”m not. This is a song that my dad showed me when I was very young. He told me about what It meant to him, and how it changed the way he looked at the world when he was coming of age in the latter part of the 60s. the song is "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield and it’s undoubtedly a definitive song of one of music’s greatest years, 1967. A year that had the Beatles releasing what many consider the greatest album of all time, Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club band.

The Doors released their debut album and did not acquiesce to Ed Sullivan’s request to change the Lyrics to Light My Fire, Aretha Franklin recorded RESPECT. Jimi Hendrix released Are You Experienced. it was the year of The Monterey Pop Festival, Otis Redding recorded Sit-in on the Dock of the Bay and would tragically pass away a few weeks later the victim of a plane crash. The Who released Sell Out. So many other incredible songs and albums were released including this game-changer. Actually, this song was released at the very end of 1966, December 23rd to be exact. And of course, had it’s biggest impact in 1967.
