Short story:

The Byrds play at Ciro's, Los Angeles, California, USA.

Full article:

David Crosby (The Byrds] : Ciro's was the first really good gig. The first place we ever played and pleased anybody was San Francisco, at The Jack Tar Motel. There were about 200 little girls who were there for Teen Screen, 16, y'know, one of those.....We played three songs. They loved it. That's cause we got all the way through without dropping the guitars. .... Actually we cooked. It was the first time we ever cooked. When we came off stage we nearly thought we would fall down. It was great.

That was very early. And then Ciro's was amazing how they handled it. The Trip, which was a little later, was not so wonderful. But, as the Trip - it was groovy. Ciro's was really outrageous. It was this great, big overstuffed, plush, 50's rock and roll - no it wasn't even rock and roll - it was a 50's Las Vegas showroom that had been done "cheap", right? And then it had gone out of business so many times...
