It was a stunning event to see as this late Byrds line up with Clarence White stretched out.......
But also due to this happening!!!!!

Wow sorry Dave didn’t spot this for some reason and what a story! The Byrds would have been right up there then and at their peak IMHO around then, but the anecdote about Joe wondering on stage to sing with ‘support’ act Rita Coolidge 'much to her surprise' (sic) is mind boggling. Those were different time for sure! Thanks my friend
