We saw these venerable folk-rockers open for Tom Petty last year at The Meadows, and frankly they stole the show. It's easy to overlook the number of killer tunes they've put out of the years, but they've been the soundtrack for a generation since Buffalo Springfield split up in '68. From their take on Joni Mitchell's "Woodstock" to the sprawling "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes", their intricate vocal harmonies and collective instrumental skill still wow audiences as they approach their seventies.
Give a listen to one of our personal favorites, "Our House", a definite candidate for greatest love song ever written. Anyone who's ever been in love can agree with that, knowing the best place to be, their favorite place, is at home with their partner. Our house. Enjoy.
Bonus find: Here's cell phone video of the performance we saw before Petty at The Meadows with surprisingly good sound quality (embedded below).
