The Flying Burrito Brothers

In January 1976, when The Flying Burrito Brothers performed "Six Days On The Road" for Don Kirshner's Rock Concert, they were riding the wave of their creatively rich era. Just prior to this live performance, they'd released the album *Academy in Peril* in 1973, which showcased a more experimental, country-rock approach. Surprisingly, this album marked a moment of transition for the band, as they attempted to incorporate more diverse influences beyond their traditional sound. During that time, they faced various lineup changes, but what’s fascinating is how they managed to maintain their unique blend of country and rock, keeping their spirit alive. This performance stands as a testament to their resilience and adaptability, not to mention the infectious energy they brought to their live shows – you can almost feel the enthusiasm pop from the screen. It's a snapshot of a band daring to evolve, becoming a bit of an unsung hero in their genre.
