This band was formed as a tour group to publicize and perform McGuinn's comeback album 'Back From Rio', and it is a good backup band indeed. BFR is in my opinion of his best--if not his best--solo albums, inspired and influenced by the original Byrds (at least Crosby and Hillman) and Tom Petty, who co-wrote 'King of the Hill'. This band the songs from that album quite well, as well as the songs from the Byrds catalogue, including the latter Byrds. Oddly, McGuinn completely ignores songs from his other solo albums, as if his career was marked by the Byrds and Back from Rio. I still think Thunderbyrd was McGuinn's best touring band, judging from the Palast concert, which is outstanding. But the Headlights did a fine job here, both with the BFR songs and the Byrds numbers. I'm sure the audience got its money's worth, judging from their enthusiasm throughout the concert. Nice upload, thanks!

The Headlights were a well established Tampa Bay Area band where Roger lived, they were known for harmonies and expressive solo work not to far afield from the other band McGuinn was known. “The Steve’s” (Connect and Robertson) are both still active and very much artists in their own write.
