THE BYRDS

Gambier, Ohio – February 11, 1972

Roger McGuinn
Clarence White
Skip Battin
Gene Parsons

Notes :

1) Nice story (if true) (thanks Christopher Hjort) « A member of the audience would later recall that the Byrds had somehow been separated from their instruments, so they put out a call to see if any student could help. In the end, McGuinn borrowed a Hagstrom 12-string, Battin ended up with a Fender bass and White had to play a standard guitar without his stringbender device. This did not stop the group from playing a fabulous show ».

2) This is the only concert we know of at which ‘Lost My Drivin’ Wheel’ was played. This song would later appear on Roger McGuinn’s first solo LP in 1973.

THE BYRDS

Jim McGuinn
Gene Clark
David Crosby
Mike Clark (that’s how it was spelled on the first LP)
Chris Hillman

Unknown place, sometime in 1965.

It still amazes me that no concert recording is available by the original 5-men lineup (excluding TV and Radio performances, which are not qualified as «concerts»), when such recordings by all other famous band from that era are circulating, officially or unofficially.

The only thing I ever found was this, a 34 seconds, poor quality recording from a live performance of Mr Tambourine Man somewhere, some time in 1965.
