1965 Caravan of Stars - Winter Tour

 

The 1965 Winter Caravan featured another folk-rock band from California, the Byrds along with their label-mates Paul Revere and the Raiders.  Very little positive has ever been mentioned about the Byrds tenure on the Caravan, with the possible exception of David Crosby contently playing John Coltrane on his tape player and influencing Roger McGuinn's lead guitar on the still-unfinished "Eight Miles High."  This brought to an end of the most prolific year for the Caravans.  Next year, Clark will begin promoting his new TV show with a road show starring many its performers.
