Dead Links & Re-Posts

If you come across a dead link, please leave a comment under the post and we will do our best to repost it within 72 hours. Please be polite when you ask for a re-post - a little kindness goes a long way. Please limit your requests to 1 a week - lots of other folks are asking and I just can't get to them all if you overload me with requests. And please don't ask me to re-post every show by a particular artist. As said, I can handle requests for a show a week, but if you are asking me to re-post dozens of dead links, I simply won't be able to handle that. Thanks for understanding.

The Byrds - 1971-01-01 - Chicago, IL (SBD)

On September 14, 1970, The Byrds released the album Untitled, a double disc featuring both live and studio material. The disc was a critical and commercial success, being heralded as a return to form for the band. The line-up for the album, original member Roger McGuinn alongside Clarence White, Gene Parsons and Skip Battin, would turn out to have the longest tenure of any configuration of The Byrds. They had also begun to build a reputation for stellar live performances. This soundboard recording catures the Byrds just a few months after the release of Untitled, in Chicago on January 1, 1971, 52 years ago today.
