Byrds / Buffalo Springfield - Live at the Monterey International Pop Festival (RSD Black Friday) [Orchid & Blue Vinyl]

• Available November 29th, 2024 for Record Store Day: Black Friday!

The two most important American rock bands performing at the Monterey International Pop Festival—Buffalo Springfield and The Byrds—had one thing in common: David Crosby. These sets mark a pivotal moment in Crosby’s career. One of his final performances before leaving The Byrds and, sitting in with Buffalo Springfield at the request of Stephen Stills, the beginnings of the partnership that would become Crosby, Stills, and Nash. While the sets by Otis, The Who, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix were revolutionary moments, these sets by The Byrds and Buffalo Springfield tell a different story, of one artist’s evolution that in turn changed rock music itself.

Another high-quality release brought to you by the same team that envisioned, designed, and produced the previous Live at The Monterey International Pop Festival LPs of recent years, all of which have been initially released as RSD exclusives: i.e. Otis Redding, The Who, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, The Mamas & The Papas.

Exclusive ORCHID AND SKY BLUE vinyl produced by The Monterey International Pop Festival Foundation in celebration of RSD Black Friday 2024. Only 3000 copies worldwide.
