The Byrds

In November 1970, The Byrds performed live at the Ohio Theatre in Columbus, showcasing their signature blend of folk rock and country influences during a pivotal time in their career. This concert took place shortly after the release of their album 'Byrds,' which was their first studio album after the departure of founding member David Crosby. The live recording captures the band as they embraced a new sound, integrating elements of country music while maintaining their iconic harmonies. Interestingly, this period also marked a shift towards a more collaborative songwriting approach, reflecting their evolving dynamics. The setlist, featuring tracks like 'Lover of the Bayou' and 'My Back Pages,' showcases their ability to adapt and innovate, ensuring they remained relevant in a rapidly changing musical landscape.
