is going to set foot on a stage again after the pandemic, and the recently gig-shy legend turned in his first substantial live performance in almost four years Saturday night at a benefit concert at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Young shared much of his time on stage with, in a show that relied so much on material from their first run as fellow band members in the 1960s, it almost amounted to a true “Buffalo Springfield revisited” show.

Postell, who was intimately involved with Crosby in putting together what would have been that show at the Lobero in Santa Barbara, confirmed plans to carry the idea forward in a few months, in honor of his fallen comrade — “same band, same set list, with guest artists.”
