I have heard about this show for years, but never seen it appear on torrents. Surely the reports of it's dismal sound quality chased a lot of people away. The reports were pretty true, with the acoustic-based songs sounding okay, while the electric ones greatly suffer. HOWEVER, I HAD to hear it! Being a big fan of the 'Notorious Byrd Brothers', it appears to be the ONLY show that has some songs from it done live. ...oh, yes, this is one of only two shows out there that feature Gram Parsons as a member.

I had to do an old fashioned snail mail trade to get this. Looking over at db.etree.org, I see it's missing the first 5 songs of the concert. Why they aren't on this version is unknown to me. However, I did want to get this one out there, making the rounds.

This was labeled as July 6 1968, but it seems that sometime in May is much more likely. A fan has stated it was May 6, while another source it was May 13. No more information seems to be online, so I am just going to stick to the 1968-05-?? date for this.

If you have this show longer, or with a known lineage, feel free to share with the rest of us, and make my version outdated. ;-)

Enjoy, as always,
