The Byrds

On June 27, 1970, The Byrds performed live at Kralingse Bos in Rotterdam, Netherlands. This concert occurred shortly after the release of their album "Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde," which came out in March 1969. This album marked a significant transitional phase for the band, reflecting their shift towards a more country-influenced sound, particularly with Clarence White's B-bender guitar work becoming a notable element in their performances. By the time of the Rotterdam concert, the lineup had settled with McGuinn, White, Battin, and Parsons, showcasing a blend of talent that was both innovative and unique. Additionally, "Old Blue," a traditional folk song often associated with The Byrds, features prominently in their live shows, highlighting their roots in folk rock. The performance exemplifies the band's ongoing evolution and their ability to adapt their style while maintaining their signature sound.
