In February 1969 Martin and Dave Price formed a second version of New Buffalo with guitarist Bob "BJ" Jones and bass player Randy Fuller, brother of the late Bobby Fuller. The band made some recordings with producer Tom Dowd overseeing, but they were scrapped. Another guitarist, Joey Newman (formerly of Don and he Goodtimes, later of the pioneering prog group Touch), was added in June 1969, but two months later Martin was fired, and the remaining members carried on as Blue Mountain Eagle. Martin then formed a new group called Medicine Ball, which released a lone album in 1970 for Uni Records. Martin also released two solo singles, one for Uni and one for RCA, which didn't appear on the album. During the 1970s, he retired from the music industry and became a car mechanic.
In 1984 Bruce Palmer teamed up with Frank Wilks (vocals, guitar), Stan Endersby (guitar) and Alan Prosser (drums) to form The Springfield Band, which became Buffalo Springfield Revisited in 1985 when Dewey Martin was brought up to Toronto, Ontario, Canada to join, and off they went on tour for the next three to four years under this band name (though Martin would drop out by 1987). Neil Young and Stephen Stills gave the BSR permission to tour with this name.
In July 1986 a full reunion of Palmer, Martin, Furay, Young and Stills all gathered together at Stills' house, with current BSR keyboardist Harlan Spector, to rehearse for an apparent reunion tour. One of the 1986 rehearsals was preserved on video and would be the last time all five original members would be seen together. The plans for a reunion tour were abandoned.
By 1990, Bruce Palmer and Frank Wilks had moved to Topanga, where Dennis Knicely joined on percussion. The following year they started White Buffalo along with Dewey Martin and others, then Martin formed the short lived Buffalo Springfield Again in 1991 with Billy Darnell (guitar), Robin Lambe (bass) and Michael Curtis (vocals, guitar).
