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.

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.

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):
