Buffalo Springfield and The Byrds Live at Monterey International Pop Festival The Byrds – Saturday June 17, 1967 The Buffalo Springfield – Sunday, June 18, 1967. Two 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, one of one artist’s evolution that evolved rock music itself. Freshly remastered, with period-perfect cover art: The LP package has a high gloss tip-on gatefold jacket, with printed inner-sleeves. Vinyl color is one LP in Sky Blue (The Byrds) and one in Orchid (Buffalo Springfield).
