The first gig Buffalo Springfield played, with Richie Furay after Neil Young refused to play on the Tonight Show and left the band, was in Aurora, Colorado at Hal Baby’s Teen Club on June 8, 1967.
Opening act that night was local Colorado band Boenzee Cryque featuring pedal steel guitar player, Rusty Young and George Grantham, drummer. Both were to become future band mates with Richie in Poco.
After their show they headed back to Los Angeles to prepare for their next appearance which would be at the Monterey Pop Festival 1967 on June 18, 1967.
The only other notable concert held here was The Yardbirds on August 16, 1966.The only other locations that Boenzee Cryque played at were at The Human Be-In In Denver, CO on September 24, 1967 and at the Denver Auditorium on November 11, 1965,
