The Byrds - Live


 

The Byrds - Live

Immortal Records IMA 104168 (Europe 2010)

The Byrds lineups:

Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, David Crosby, Michael Clarke, Chris Hillman, Kevin Kelley, Gram Parsons, Clarence White, Gene Parsons, John York, , Skip Battin, John Guerin.

I had to re-tag the tracks as the makers of this CD mistagged this item as being Vince Neil’s “Carved In Stone” CD. Seems they didn’t see or hear the difference between music and noise.
