The Byrds Live Performance of Turn Turn Turn from The Big T.N.T. Show

Venue: Moulin Rouge Location: Los Angeles, California, United States Date: November 29, 1965

In November 1965, The Byrds delivered an unforgettable live performance of "Turn! Turn! Turn!" at the Moulin Rouge in Los Angeles, featuring prominently in the concert film "The Big T.N.T. Show." This moment occurred right on the heels of their groundbreaking album "Mr. Tambourine Man," which had launched them into the heart of the folk-rock movement that was sweeping through the music scene. Just a few months earlier, their unique sound—blending jangly guitars and harmonies—had captivated audiences and redefined contemporary rock. Interestingly, while they were known for their studio wizardry, this live recording showcases their electric energy and the raw emotion that their music often evokes. It's a striking reminder of their influence during a pivotal period in the '60s music culture, where the divide between rock and folk was beautifully blurred.
