The Byrds
The Byrds Live Performance of Mr. Tambourine Man and Turn! Rhymney
On October 29, 1965, The Byrds delivered a noteworthy live performance at Palos Verdes High School, capturing the height of their early success. Just before this recording, they had released their iconic album "Mr. Tambourine Man" earlier that year, which propelled them into the spotlight and established their signature jingle-jangle sound. This live show is particularly fascinating as it showcases their raw energy and musicianship during a pivotal time in their career, shortly after hitting the charts with hits like "Turn! Turn! Turn!" The historical significance of this performance is underscored by the fact that it took place during the early stirrings of the Folk Rock movement, with The Byrds right at the forefront. Fans still cherish this recording, particularly because it features the band in their prime, playing hits that defined a generation.
