The Flying Burrito Brothers

The Flying Burrito Brothers were at a fascinating juncture in their career during their live performance at the Altamont Free Concert on December 6, 1969. Released just weeks before this iconic event, their second album, *Burrito Deluxe*, had hit the shelves in November 1970. This album further solidified their blend of country rock, featuring classics like “Cody, Cody” and "High Fashion Queen," which they performed during that unforgettable set. What’s truly intriguing about this concert is its place in history; it happened amidst the tumultuous vibes of the late '60s. While the concert is often remembered for its chaos, The Flying Burrito Brothers showcased their unique sound and style that blended heartfelt lyrics with rock-infused country, making them pioneers in the genre. Their performance was a testament to their appeal, even as their future hung in uncertainty following the culturally charged atmosphere of Altamont.
