Pete, I saw the post-Parsons/Hillman Byrds in Louisville in 1970, when the line-up featured McGuinn, Clarence Clark and Skip Battin. They played on the big stage at Freedom Hall, built to hold 15000. There were about 125 of us there.

They opened with Lover of the Bayou, and when that was over the house lights came up, McGuinn walked to the front and said "man, the place was full last time we played here. You think they were all Crosby fans?"

They did a great show though. McGuinn was breaking in a new Rickenbacker 12, and he said "my old one was hand-made, and this one was assembled by machines. Funny thing, this one sounds every bit as good."
