Byrds - Avalon Ballroom San Francisco November 2nd 1968 - Music CD

This remarkable set was taped for radio broadcast in 1968, very soon after The Byrds' new line-up of Roger McGuinn, Clarence White, Gene Parsons, and John York had coalesced. Despite the recent tumultuous departures of Chris Hillman and Gram Parsons, the band turns in a superb series of performances featuring a fascinating selection of songs (several of which they rarely played), with especially noteworthy guitar work from the great Clarence White. It's presented here with excellent sound, complete with background notes and rare photographs, making it a vital document for all connoisseurs of '60s rock.
