Byrds/Italy 1968

On May 7, 1968, the performance at the “International European Pop Festival” held at the Piper Club in Rome was recorded as a soundboard sound source from the radio on-air master. First of all, the timing is after the release of “Rodeo no Koibito”, so the main point is that you can enjoy songs from the early and mid-period, mainly including songs from that album, as well as familiar Dylan covers. In addition, with the addition of guitarist Clarence White and a lineup of members with high playing ability, Roger McGuinn’s direction in focusing more on live activities became clear, and he became a jam band in the 1970s. This is a valuable live performance during the transitional period when the band started to climb towards its peak. 01. Introduction / 02. You Ain’t Going Nowhere / 03. Old John Robertson / 04.
