Description

This previously unreleased 1969 performance captures the Byrds--intriguingly--between their seminal country album, Sweetheart Of The Rodeo and the futuristic rock of Untitled. Helmed by Roger McGuinn following the departure of Gram Parsons, the band may have seemed confused about their future direction, but they were still a very capable live outfit. Having sewn up the hits ("Mr Tambourine Man", "Turn Turn Turn", "Eight Miles High") in a medley, the remaining performances ("Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man", "Sing Me Back Home", "Close Up The Honky Tonks", "Nashville West") are rooted firmly in themore… band's Nashville experience--not the kind of music guaranteed to play well with the hippie Fillmore crowd. The free-flowing guitar improvisations wouldn't feature until the following year, and these renditions remain faithful to the originals. Along with McGuinn's distinctive vocals, the star of the show is guitarist Clarence White, who died aged only 29 in 1974. White's background was soaked in country music, and his playing here is exemplary.--Patrick Humphries
