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.

Now you can judge by yourselves, as here’s track 7 (in comments):

The artwork wrongly states that all the concerts took place in the USA 1969-1970. Tracks 9, 10 and 11 are from Stockholm February 1967 and the Monterey Pop Festival June 1967, hence the mistakes in the participating musicians (David Crosby, Michael Clarke, Chris Hillman and John York are not mentioned on the artwork).
