=== Lineup changes, arrest, and breakup === [[File:Buffalo Springfield posing 1967.jpg|thumb|Buffalo Springfield in 1967]] In January 1967, Palmer was deported for possession of [[cannabis (drug)|marijuana]]<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/news/2004/oct/16/guardianobituaries.artsobituaries1|title=Bruce Palmer|author=Adam Sweeting|newspaper=[[The Guardian]]|date=October 16, 2004|access-date=June 3, 2017|archive-date=July 20, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170720123624/https://www.theguardian.com/news/2004/oct/16/guardianobituaries.artsobituaries1|url-status=live}}</ref> but returned to the group at the beginning of June, while Young was temporarily absent (guitarist Doug Hastings filled in for Young during this period). The band, with [[David Crosby]] sitting in, played the [[Monterey Pop Festival]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OSZKCXtx-wEC&pg=PA160|page=160|title=The Dawn of Indian Music in the West|author=Peter Lavezzoli|publisher=A&C Black|date=April 24, 2006|isbn=9780826418159|access-date=August 25, 2017|archive-date=July 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200727140137/https://books.google.com/books?id=OSZKCXtx-wEC&pg=PA160|url-status=live}}</ref> Young returned in August and the band severed ties with Greene and Stone, then divided its time between playing gigs and finalising the second album, ultimately titled ''[[Buffalo Springfield Again]]''. Produced by Ertegun, ''Buffalo Springfield Again'' was released in November 1967. It includes "[[Mr. Soul]]", "Rock & Roll Woman", "Bluebird", "Sad Memory", and "Broken Arrow". The band toured as support for [[the Beach Boys]] during early 1968.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OCL_DAAAQBAJ&pg=PT34|page=34|title=Neil Young: Heart of Gold|author=Harvey Kubernik|publisher=Omnibus Press|date=November 9, 2015|isbn=9781783235797|access-date=August 25, 2017|archive-date=July 27, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200727142834/https://books.google.com/books?id=OCL_DAAAQBAJ&pg=PT34|url-status=live}}</ref> In January of that year, after Palmer was again deported for drug possession, [[Jim Messina (musician)|Jim Messina]], who had worked as engineer on the band's second album, was hired as a permanent replacement on [[electric bass|bass]].<ref name="break">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=8XG9CgAAQBAJ&pg=PA125|page=125|title=The 100 Greatest Bands of All Time: A Guide to the Legends Who Rocked the World|author=David V.

Recording sessions were booked, and all the songs that appeared on the final album were recorded by the end of March, usually with Messina producing. In the [[Netflix]] documentary ''Echo in the Canyon'', Stills related an incident that illustrated the band's problems with law enforcement. The band were hosting a small rehearsal party, attended by [[Eric Clapton]] among others, in April 1968.<ref name="break" /> Despite reportedly playing at a comfortable sound level, a police officer arrived after a disturbing the peace complaint. During the encounter, the officer smelled marijuana and Stills ran next door to "call lawyers," but in actuality went next door and escaped out the bathroom window. According to Stills, Young was going to chase the police down the street, to which Stills said "cause he's Canadian and I guess in Canada you can do that". Ultimately, Young, Furay and Messina were arrested and sent to the [[LA County Jail|Los Angeles County Jail]]. [[File:Buffalo Springfield 1968 publicity shot.jpg|thumb|Buffalo Springfield in early 1968]] Following a gig at the Long Beach Auditorium on 5 May 1968, the band held a meeting with Ertegun to arrange their breakup. Stills and Furay stayed with Atlantic, while Young moved to Warner Brothers.<ref name="break" /> Later, Furay and Messina compiled various tracks recorded between mid-1967 and early 1968 into the third and final studio album, ''[[Last Time Around]]'' (1968).
