Roy Orbison Tribute Concert Update

Recently, I posted a Roy Orbison tribute concert that took place in 1990, after his death in late 1988. You can find a link to that here:

It turns out that a musical associate of mine, Lilpanda, had a different high quality source of that concert. Most of it was the same, but he had five songs I didn't have. I put three of them at the start of the concert, since I don't know the song order. Those are by NRBQ, Joe Ely, and Syd Straw. But the most news-worthy aspect of the concert was that it ended with a reunion by three original members of the Byrds, Roger McGuinn, Chris Hillman, and David Crosby. I'd only had two of the songs they did, "Turn, Turn, Turn" and "Mr. Tambourine Man," the latter with Bob Dylan joining in. But Lilpanda's version also had the Byrds performing "Eight Miles High" and "He Was a Friend of Mine. So if you go to the updated link, you'll get about 20 extra minutes of music, including the two extra Byrds songs.
