Third Eye Radio has returned, and we brought back something… strange. Something… cosmic. Something… downright transcendent.
Our latest transmission is a frequency-bending, soul-shaking relic from the ether: a 1969 broadcast recording of The Byrds at the legendary (and fleeting) Boston Tea Party. We time-traveled back, braving the temporal rift with nothing but a reel-to-reel and a pocketful of mescaline.
On February 22, 1969, WBCN 104.1 FM beamed sonic enlightenment across Boston’s airwaves. The Byrds, fresh off their country-psych pivot with Sweetheart of the Rodeo, were about to evolve again with Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde, an album so split-personality it should come with a prescription warning.
But that’s just the beginning. Episode 2 of Third Eye Radio isn’t just a dusty relic—it’s a warp tunnel into a parallel soundscape where psychedelic frequencies collide.
We’ve raided the Bandcamp archive, resurrecting rare sonic artifacts, psychedelic spells, and dub-drenched hallucinations. Expect the fuzzed-out grandeur of Dead Meadow, the intergalactic skank of Sly & The Revolutionaries, and a whole caravan of cosmic travelers.
Here’s the setlist:
“You Ain’t Going Nowhere” – The Byrds (live)
“Kosimazaki” – Moontoy
“Iron Bird” – The Sonic Dawn
“Tu n’es pas seul” – Les Passagers
“Tulsa County Blue” – The Byrds (live)
