The Byrds – Live In San Juan Capistrano 1989



A visitor asked for a reupload of this concert. It made me notice that out of the 3 "reunion" concerts they did in January 1989, only the first one (this one) was posted on this blog. So this is a reup with complete artwork added, and it will be followed by both performances in San Diego (Jan 5) and Ventura (Jan 6). All 3 are audience recordings.

The Byrds lineups:

The Byrds – Monterey International Pop Festival (one song)



The Byrds – Monterey International Pop Festival (one song)

Jim McGuinn, David Crosby, Michael Clarke, Chris Hillman

50 years ago today (June 17, 1967), The Byrds performed 8 tracks at the Monterey International Pop Festival:

1. Renaissance Fair
2. Have You Seen Her Face?
3. Hey Joe (Where You Gonna Go)
4. He Was A friend Of Mine
5. Lady Friend
6. Chimes Of Freedom
7. I Know My Rider (I Know You Rider)
8. So You Want To Be A Rock ‘n’ Roll Star

All tracks were officially released, except for track 7. Legend has it that a noisy plane flew over the festival ground when that track was played, and that the resulting sound was horrible.
