Pennsylvania Military College, Chester, PA – December 4, 1970

Roger McGuinn (guitar, vocals)
Clarence White (guitar, mandolin, vocals)
Skip Battin (bass, vocals)
Gene Parsons (drums, banjo, vocals)

Although not mentioned by the file provider, this seems to be one of the joint Byrds / Flying Burrito Brothers concerts. Listen closely to tracks 4, 5 and 6 from set 2.

The Flying Burrito Brothers were:

Chris Hillman, Michael Clarke, Sneaky Pete Kleinow, Bernie Leadon, Rick Roberts.

The last track sounds so different, it probably originates from another concert.
