A stampede of line-up changes

In January 1967, the group took an advance from the record company and flew to New York to perform at Ondine’s. It was at this time that Palmer was first arrested for possession of marijuana and summarily deported back to Canada.

The band now moved back and forth between recording sessions and live appearances on both coasts. They used a number of different bassists, including Koblun—who was unable to cope with the pressure and soon quit—and Jim Fielder of the Mothers of Invention.

Under these conditions, work on the new album, tentatively titled Stampede, was markedly tense. Ever distrustful of Greene and Stone, Young and Stills also bickered among themselves, and each insisted on producing the recording sessions for his own compositions. Furay, who had not contributed anything to the first album save for his guitar and voice, also stepped forward and equaled Young's number of contributions for the group's second album.

Although Palmer returned to the group at the beginning of June, Young had already left and thereby managed to miss the celebrated Monterey Pop Festival at which the band performed with former Daily Flash and future Rhinoceros member Doug Hastings on guitar and also with a guest appearance by David Crosby. Young eventually returned in August, and after bidding adieu to Greene and Stone, the band divided its time between concert gigs and putting the finishing touches on its second album, ultimately titled Buffalo Springfield Again.

Although more of a hodgepodge of individual work than an integrated group effort, many critics and fans alike consider Buffalo Springfield Again, released in November 1967, to be the group’s finest record, and it includes tracks such as "Mr. Soul", "Rock & Roll Woman", and "Sad Memory."

However, for many Buffalo Springfield fans, it is the Stephen Stills composition "Bluebird" that was then and remains now the band's epiphany. The "Bluebird" of the title, spoken of throughout the song, was Stills' ladylove at the time[citation needed], singer Judy Collins, who was also the subject of a later Stills song, Suite: Judy Blue Eyes. Unlike the studio version -- which winds down after the instrumental break with a plaintive rendition of the third verse, accompanied by a banjo -- in live performances, the opening verses of "Bluebird" serve as little more than a springboard for an extended jam session, during which no single individual "solos" so much as each member contributes solo passages to a complex and finely-crafted ensemble performance. Although no recording of such a "live jam" version was ever officially released, bootleg versions of what was supposedly a Stampede recording session were a staple of FM radio in the late 60s and early 70s
