Includes liner notes by David Fricke.\nOriginally recorded as a soundcheck for the headline attraction, a reunion of Butterfield Blues Band\/Electric Flag Alumni, LIVE AT THE FILLMORE captures the Byrds less than a week after the release of DR. BYRDS AND MR. HYDE. By this time, Roger McGuinn was the sole remaining founding member and his band had moved from the Dylan-inspired folk-rock of its origins to more of a country-flavored sound due in part to the seeds planted by one-time member Gram Parsons.\nParsons' replacement, Clarence White, carried on and expanded upon the band's country legacy. White gained his fingerpicking expertise as one-half of the seminal bluegrass act the Kentucky Colonels and had been an occasional Byrds sideman since 1967's YOUNGER THAN YESTERDAY. The Byrds didn't quite fit in with their self-indulgent jam-band peers--the band was known for playing concise and crystalline recreations of its material while in concert. Standouts captured here include the self-penned instrumental \"Nashville West\"; a thumbed-nose retort to Nashville, \"Drug Store Truck Drivin' Man\"; and authentically twangy covers of songs from artists including Merle Haggard (\"Sing Me Back Home\") and Buck Owens (\"Buckaroo,\" \"Close Up the Honky Tonks\").","brand":"The Byrds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44563265192169,"sku":"VFYWSR-46MJ-00","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/The-Byrds-LIVE-AT-THE-FILLMORE-FEBRUARY-1969_NW4CE_0160bd5a-80b1-44e2-bffa-34e58bf51644.jpg?v=1759319037","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/the-byrds-live-at-the-fillmore-february-1969","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
