The Byrds – Whisky-A-Go-Go September 1970


The Byrds – Whisky-A-Go-Go September 1970

The Whisky A Go-Go, Los Angeles, CA – September 19, 1970 (early show)

Roger McGuinn - guitar, vocals
Gene Parsons - drums, harmonica, vocals
Clarence White - guitar, vocals
Skip Battin - bass, vocals

Although relatively short in terms of live performances during this era, this recording provides another example of the latter days Byrds lineup just days after the release of "Untitled". When taken in conjunction with the highly adventurous late show, also available on this blog and which was essentially a loose jam session with their friends in The Flying Burrito Brothers, this concert helps to complete the picture of this memorable night.
