The Byrds – Bloomfield College, Bloomfield 1970




The Byrds – Bloomfield College, Bloomfield 1970

Bloomfield College, Bloomfield, NJ – October 24, 1970

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

This concert was previously posted as “New Jersey 1970”, but my source for these new files says that it’s much better quality, so here it is again, with audio files tagged and artwork added.

The original tape has two tracks that were medleys (1-2 and 7-8); I’ve separated them so this new sequence has 18 tracks instead of the 16 original ones.

I have also “rearranged” the audio tracks, transferring spoken parts (and more) to where they belong, at the beginning and at the end of each track.

1. Lover Of The Bayou (3:01)
2. Johnny B. Goode (instrumental ending) (0:47)
3. You Ain't Going Nowhere (2:44)
4. Old Blue (4:09)
5. Positively 4th Street (3:44)
6. My Back Pages (2:22)
7. B.J. Blues (1:24)
8. Baby What You Want Me To Do (2:36)
9. Home Sweet Home (In The Morning I'll Be Gone) (2:26)
10. Truck Stop Girl (4:09)
11. Soldier's Joy - Black Mountain Rag (2:01)
12. Mr. Tambourine Man (2:54)
13. Take A Whiff (On Me) (3:18)
14. Chestnut Mare (5:26)
15. It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) (3:08)
16. Ballad Of Easy Rider (2:40)
17. Jesus Is Just Alright (2:54)
18. Eight Miles High (16:03)

Artwork Included (front, back)

  2. It's good to see that you are active and posting lots of new material; but why no comment on the real jewel, the 1968 show with Gram Parsons, which disappeared before most of us had time to get it?

  9. OK, Zippy is blocked in the U.K. so you have to use a VPN to get the file from Zippy.
