I really miss seeing them live. That was the best place living in San Francisco. All the music from winter land & filmore. I’m surprised that I remember my own name (or do I!!)
They where a L. A. Band mostly. Some of the best musicians ever;>}

Mr. Tambourine Man was written by Bob Dylan and Dylan’s version is much better than the Byrds’ cover.
