Byrds - WNEW 1971


The Byrds – WNEW 1971

ATTENTION :

Although it’s been widely circulating for decades, this performance, said to have been broadcast by WNEW in 1971, is actually a FAKE. My ears tell me that it’s actually made of tracks by the Byrds in 1971 mixed with Byrds tracks done by Roger McGuinn and Band in 1975.


If I can trust my ears, tracks 1-3-4-5-9-11-12-13 and 14 are by The Byrds :

Roger McGuinn
Clarence White
Gene Parsons
Skip Battin


And tracks 2-6-7-8 and 10 are by Roger McGuinn and Band :

Roger McGuinn
Steve Lowe
Richard Bowden
Greg Attaway
David Lovelace
