Gram Parsons, who had joined a faltering line up in early '68, had departed prior to a disastrous tour of South Africa for which McGuinn notably had received much criticism. The country rock album they had recorded with Gram, Sweetheart of the Rodeo, alienated many Byrds fans and equally attracted hostility from the traditional country music community. It remains their poorest performing record, despite its status in later years as the first proper country rock album. Clarence White (Guitar) and Gene Parsons (Drums - no relation) were both brought in around this time, but then Chris Hillman quit! The Avalon show was the gig first performed by the line-up of McGuinn, White, Gene Parsons and new recruit John York on bass and harmony vocals (very apparent on this recording), who had only been a Byrd for about a week at the time of this show.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eTracklist\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eA1        Old Blue\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA2        My Back Pages \/ Baby, What Do You Want Me To Do\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA3        Mr. Spaceman\u003cbr\u003e\r\nA4        Time Between\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB1        Goin' Back\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB2        Blue Suede Shoes\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB3        He Was A Friend Of Mine\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB4        So You Want To Be A Rock 'n' Roll Star\u003cbr\u003e\r\nB5        Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC1        This Wheel's On Fire\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC2        Stanley's Song\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC3        Pretty Boy Floyd\u003cbr\u003e\r\nC4        8 Miles High\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD1        You Don't Miss Your Water\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD2        So You Want To Be A Rock 'n' Roll Star\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD3        Hickory Wind    \u003cbr\u003e\r\nD4        King Apathy III\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD5        Bad Night At The Whiskey\u003cbr\u003e\r\nD6        Nashville West\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003e*Audio and\/or tracklist may vary slightly from the vinyl version.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:12px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;\"\u003eLabel: Parachute Recording Company\u003cbr\u003e\r\nRel.
