In the summer of 1986, the original members of the Buffalo Springfield
met at Stephen Stills’ home to rehearse new material that Stephen and
Neil Young were working on and to make tentative plans to reunite for a
20th anniversary reunion tour. The 2 day practice session marked the
first time that the five founding members had played together since
their break-up in 1967. The rehearsals were kept a secret and my
understanding was that management was not keen on having the sessions
videotaped. However, after some deliberation, the band over ruled
management and decided that they wanted to document the get together
.The practice session began with a “theme" that was in Neil’s head and
moved onto Stephen shredding the guitar on a new blues tune that he was
in the early stage of conceptualizing. In this clip, the band is working
out the nuts and bolts on a new tune of Neil’s that he would later
develop into “Road of Plenty” which made its performance debut during
the Crazy Horse tour in November of 1986. The song would, subsequently,
evolve into its studio version, “Eldorado”, which was recorded 2 years
later and released in the states on Neil's Freedom album.
