But Furay issued a cease and desist order on Martin in 1992 and he retired from music again the following year.
2011 reunion tour
On his album Silver & Gold (2000), Young sang of his desire to reform the group and to "see those guys again and give it a shot" ("Buffalo Springfield Again"). Due to the deaths of Palmer (in 2004) and Martin (in 2009), a true reunion of the original lineup is now impossible, but surviving members Young, Stills, and Furay reunited at the annual Bridge School Benefit concerts on October 23 and 24, 2010, in Mountain View, California. Rolling Stone called the performance "nostalgic, blissful, and moving." The band reunited for six concerts starting in Oakland on June 1, 2011, followed by dates in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara, before moving on to play the 2011 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival in Manchester, Tennessee. The band consisted of Furay, Stills, and Young, with the lineup completed by Rick Rosas and Joe Vitale. According to Furay and a band spokesman, the group was supposed to go out on a full tour in 2012, but this was put on hold because Young was recording two new albums with Crazy Horse. On February 27, 2012, Furay announced that the band is on indefinite hiatus.
Legacy
In 1968, Stills went on to form Crosby, Stills & Nash with David Crosby of the Byrds and Graham Nash of the Hollies. Meanwhile, Furay and Messina formed Poco, and Young launched his solo career; in 1969, he reunited with Stills in Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young ("CSNY"). After CSNY, Stills joined with Hillman (after his stint with the Flying Burrito Brothers) and others to form the group Manassas (1971–1973). Furay later joined J.D. Souther and Chris Hillman to form the Souther-Hillman-Furay Band, and Messina teamed with Kenny Loggins in Loggins & Messina.
