Your Mother Should Know Recordings Trading Non-Commercially Released Music Since 1963 |
It was my freshman year at Northeastern University, early in the second semester. The best rock and roll establishment of the time, The Boston Tea Party, was a short walk from my dorm. My roomate Rob was going to hear the Byrds and suggested I come along. I didn't go, for whatever reason. To this day, I wish I'd gone!
About 5 AM or so, Rob dragged his ass back to the dorm with the following story. His high school buddy lived in a frat at BC with some guys who were friends with someone in the Byrds. After their gig at the Tea Party they'd gone back to this frat house at BC and had set up and played a house party. Some party, and I missed it!
This is a recording I received recently of the Byrds performance at the Tea Party, I wonder if there is a tape someplace of the after-gig music. This recording is around the time of Sweetheart of the Rodeo and the Live Byrds Album. The lineup includes the late great Clarence White on guitar.
I had the pleasure of hearing Clarence White live on annother occasion when he played for Leon Russel who Rob and I saw as the opening act for Hot Tuna at the Fillmore East.
