The Byrds

In the live performance from November 27, 1970, at Oberlin College, The Byrds showcase "Last Time I Was Home," a lesser-known Jackson Browne tune, with Clarence White taking the lead vocals. This gig came shortly after the release of their album "Byrdmaniax" in 1971, representing a very transitional phase for the band. They were straddling the lines between folk rock and country, trying to find their identity amidst changes in their lineup and musical direction. Interestingly, this song was performed only a handful of times, adding to its obscurity. It's a glimpse into a unique moment when The Byrds were experimenting, reflecting both their legacy and the evolving sound of rock in the early '70s. The atmosphere of the college setting likely added an intimate touch to the performance, allowing fans to engage more personally with their music.
