Reacting to The Byrds at Monterey Pop (selected), David Crosby Remarks

The Byrds took the stage at the Monterey Pop Festival on Saturday, June 17, 1967. The band's setlist was as follows:
Renaissance Fair
Have You Seen Her Face
Hey Joe (The Leaves cover)
He Was a Friend of Mine ([traditional] cover)
Lady Friend
Chimes of Freedom (Bob Dylan cover)
I Know You Rider ([traditional] cover)
So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star
Following their appearance at Monterey Pop and through the year 1967, internal conflicts escalated, exacerbated by substance abuse and creative differences. Michael Clarke, the band's drummer, left later that year. David Crosby was fired later in the year.
Despite the challenges, The Byrds released the album "The Notorious Byrd Brothers" in 1968, which showcased their experimentation with psychedelic and country elements. The album received critical acclaim but failed to achieve commercial success.
