The Flying Burrito Brothers

The Flying Burrito Brothers were really stepping into their groove in 1969, especially around the time of their live recording of “Hungry Eyes” at The Palomino in Los Angeles. This performance came just after the release of their groundbreaking debut album, *The Gilded Palace of Sin*, from 1969, which blended country with rock in a way that felt fresh and innovative. What's fascinating is how this era marked a transition in music history, as they were part of the nascent country rock movement that would lay the groundwork for many future artists. The band was known for their heartfelt harmonies and rich instrumentation—elements that shine through in this live performance. Can you imagine the energy in the room, with fans soaking up that raw, live sound? It wasn’t just any gig; it was a snapshot of a transformative moment in music history that captured the spirit and emotion of that time.
