From BB Chronicles:

Here’s Chris Hillman, from the tour immediately following the break-up of the Souther-Hillman-Furay band in 1975. Chris got together with old friend Rick Roberts and two other members of Rick's 'new' band, tentatively called Firefall, which had begun rehearsing together but had not yet recorded or performed as a group. This was the same place, at New York's The Other End (aka The Bitter End), where just 3 days later (June 6, 1975), Firefall would be 'discovered' and offered their record contract, after Chris Hillman became ill and had to bow out of the tour and Firefall continued several shows without him, featuring their new band (with Michael Clarke replacing Michael Wooten on drums) and songs. Here, though, we have the show prior to that day, when Chris was still very much in charge and ably running the show, which features a nice selection of songs from throughout his career at that point (Byrds, Flying Burrito Brothers, Manassas, SHF Band, solo...)

The Byrds – The Second Night At The Ash Grove (L.A. August 22, 1970 featuring Gene Clark)

The Byrds – The Second Night At The Ash Grove

Ash Grove, Los Angeles – August 22, 1970

Roger McGuinn - guitar, vocals
Clarence White - guitar, mandolin, vocals
Skip Battin - bass, vocals
Gene Parsons - drums, harmonica, vocals

With Guests:

Gene Clark – lead vocals on "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better"
Gib Guilbeau – lead vocals, fiddle on "Diggy Liggy Lo" & "Louisiana Man"

Over the course of the August 1970 (3 days – 21, 22 and 23) Ash Grove run, The Byrds sets would include several notable friends dropping by -- guest appearances included the likes of Linda Ronstadt, John Hammond and Gib Guilbeau, as well as former Byrds members Gene Clark and Gram Parsons. Presented here is The Byrds set from the second night of this run, which includes guest appearances by Gene Clark and Gib Guilbeau. One of the remarkable things about this recording is the ability to clearly hear everything on stage. The Ash Grove largely catered to traditional folk and blues artists. Drums and electric instruments required little or no additional amplification in the small venue, so were not often mixed through the Ash Grove's PA system. Full band recordings taped directly off the house system often suffer from mixes that neglect to capture everything clearly. For this run, Dawson brought in part of The Byrds PA system, which may have been overkill, but allowed him to include everything in the mix and to mix in stereo, which greatly enhances this recording.

The night begins with the standard opener of this era, "Lover Of The Bayou", the McGuinn/Jacques Levy collaboration that would kick off the live half of the "Untitled" album. Like much of McGuinn's original material from this era, the song was written for an aborted stage show project called Gene Tryp, which was based on Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt (The stage show's name was simply an anagram of Ibsen's title). Set during the Civil War, "Lover Of The Bayou" is a character study of a Louisiana voodoo man, with McGuinn serving as its witchdoctor narrator. Threatening and tense, this finds the band in strong form, particularly Clarence White, whose unique touch and expert grasp of distortion are largely responsible for evoking the song's sinister tone, which would soon kick off the live half of the "Untitled" album follows. Like much of McGuinn's original material from this era, the song was written for an aborted stage show project called Gene Tryp, which was based on Henrik Ibsen's Peer Gynt (The stage show's name was simply an anagram of Ibsen's title). Set during the Civil War, "Lover Of The Bayou" is a character study of a Louisiana voodoo man with McGuinn serving as its witchdoctor narrator. Threatening and tense, Clarence White's unique touch and expert grasp of distortion are largely responsible for evoking the song's sinister tone.

A grounding problem was causing a hum in McGuinn's guitar amplifier, but Dawson quickly resolves the issue. The Byrds continue with one of Dylan's unreleased "Basement Tapes" compositions, "You Ain't Goin''' Nowhere", featuring more electric instrumentation than the "Sweethearts Of The Rodeo" recording from two years prior. Skip Battin next fronts the group and shares his ruminations on the Vietnam War with "Well Come Back Home", the compelling album closer for the "Untitled" studio LP. Lightening up the mood with one of the several dog-themed songs the band would record over the years, they next serve up the traditional "Old Blue". This provides fine examples of Clarence using the B-Bender that he and Gene Parsons invented, allowing his Telecaster to emulate the sound of a pedal steel guitar. The medley that first appeared on the "Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde" album surfaces next, beginning with Dylan's "My Back Pages". Here the song is played in truncated form before skillfully segueing into a cover of Jimmy Reed's bluesy "Baby What You Want Me To Do". Prior to performing a few acoustic numbers, McGuinn fronts the group for a sparse arrangement of "He Was A Friend Of Mine", written in the wake of the JFK assassination.

The acoustic portion of this set is a delight, beginning with one of the earliest examples of anyone covering a Lowell George song. Drummer Gene Parsons leads the group on "Willin'" a good year prior to the writer debuting the song with his own band Little Feat. Parson's world-weary vocal is complimented by harmony vocals from White, conveying considerable work went into the sweet vocal arrangement. The group continues the acoustic portion with another song destined for "Untitled", with a romp through Leadbelly's cocaine anthem, "Take A Whiff On Me". White's blazing acoustic finger work is also specifically showcased with the traditional fiddle tune "Soldiers Joy / Black Mountain Rag”.

Easing back into electric material, Clarence White assumes lead vocal duties on "Truck Stop Girl". While not known for his vocal abilities, this is still an engaging performance and proves the group had a keen sense for recognizing songwriting talent, as this song was also written by Lowell George and Bill Payne, soon to be recognized as the founders of Little Feat. A fully electric version of another of the Gene Tryp numbers, "Chestnut Mare" follows. One of McGuinn's greatest songs, this finds soundman Dawson recreating the echoed sound of a canyon within the tiny walls of the Ash Grove and features White's sensitive and delicate finger picking throughout.

Up to this point, the performance has been relaxed and generally laid back, but things kick up a notch with a fiery rendition of "This Wheel's On Fire". Another song sourced from Dylan and The Band's Basement Tapes, this is unfortunately incomplete due to the tape stock running out midway. When the recording resumes, founding member Gene Clark has joined the group on stage singing lead vocals on one of his finest compositions, "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better". Originally featured on the group's debut album, this song dips back to the very beginning of The Byrds career. Following Clark's brief appearance, singer, guitarist, fiddler Gib Guilbeau joins the group onstage, essentially resurrecting the short-lived country/rock outfit Nashville West, which also featured Clarence White and Gene Parsons. Together they head into high energy zydeco-fueled territory with two Cajun classics, "Diggi Liggy Li" and "Louisiana Man".

Following these enjoyable guests' appearances, McGuinn again fronts the group on a pair of songs from the iconic "Easy Rider" movie soundtrack. With Gene Parsons contributing harmonica, they begin with a haunting rendition of Dylan's "Its Alright Ma, I'm Only Bleeding", Upon the songs conclusion, McGuinn recreates the sound of a motorcycle crash before continuing with a lovely "Ballad Of Easy Rider". This serves as a quieter reflective moment, but within the first few seconds of "Jesus Is Just Alright", which follows, the intensity level cranks back up. They take this song at good clip, with Battin and Parsons propelling the action behind McGuinn and White. Another "Gene Tryp" number surface with a fine harmony-laden read of McGuinn's "All The Things", also destined for the "Untitled" album.

As they veer toward the end of the set, a string of classic Byrds hits follows, with McGuinn leading the way through a medley of "Turn Turn Turn" and "Mr. Tambourine Man" that no doubt delighted the hometown audience. However, it is the improvisational jam on "Eight Miles High" that immediately follows which brings this performance to a blazing close. By 1970, "Eight Miles High" had become an extended jam vehicle and the interplay between McGuinn and White is quite astounding. With McGuinn and White's guitars panned to separate channels in the stereo field, this allows listeners to more clearly enjoy the musical dialogue between the two guitarists. An improvisation begins from scratch and before you know it, the group has created a scintillating raga-oriented jam. For the next 10 minutes, they venture deeper into psychedelic territory that features a propulsive bottom end by Battin and Parsons and McGuinn and White blazing away on their guitars. Eventually, McGuinn and White drop out allowing the rhythm section to solo. Eventually, White and McGuinn begin feeling their way back in; and with the group sizzling again start to manoeuver into "Eight Miles High" proper. McGuinn's Coltrane-influenced opening riffs signal the transition and they finally segue into the first verse of this legendary song. However, the group is still cooking so hard that they blaze right off again, never returning to the lyric. After another minute or two of intense interplay, this "Eight Miles High" jam comes to a close, followed by the band's signature outro instrumental, "Hold It", to end the set.

The Byrds – Whisky-A-Go-Go September 1970


The Byrds – Whisky-A-Go-Go September 1970

The Whisky A Go-Go, Los Angeles, CA – September 19, 1970 (early show)

Roger McGuinn - guitar, vocals
Gene Parsons - drums, harmonica, vocals
Clarence White - guitar, vocals
Skip Battin - bass, vocals


Although relatively short in terms of live performances during this era, this recording provides another example of the latter days Byrds lineup just days after the release of "Untitled". When taken in conjunction with the highly adventurous late show, also available on this blog and which was essentially a loose jam session with their friends in The Flying Burrito Brothers, this concert helps to complete the picture of this memorable night.
