The Byrds - Newport Pop Festival August 1968


THE BYRDS

Newport Pop Festival, Orange County Fairgrounds, Cosa Mesa, California

August 4, 1968

Roger McGuinn
Chris Hillman
Kevin Kelley
Clarence White

Poor audience quality…but uncirculated as far as we know. The only known recording by this lineup. Kevin Kelley and then Chris Hillman would soon leave within weeks and be replaced by Gene Parsons and John York.

1. So You Want To Be A Rock 'N' Roll Star (2:22)
2. You Ain't Going Nowhere (2:49)
3. Sing Me Back Home (3:09)
4. Eight Miles High (3:19)
5. My Back Pages - BJ Blues - Baby What You Want Me To Do (5:32)
6. You Don't Miss Your Water (3:22)
7. Chimes Of Freedom (3:45)
8. Turn Turn Turn (2:55)

  2. I would have loved to seen this show, this line-up. Chris Hillman's bass playing is brilliant.
    Thanks for the opportunity to hear it.
