McGuinn talked quite a bit about the Old Town School of Folk Music in his hometown of Chicago, IL which is where he discovered many great folk artists.

The show included a mix of covers and Byrds classics. McGuinn did impressions of each and played a bit of “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “Be Bop a Lula,” and “Daddy Roll Em.’” After a few covers, McGuinn played one of the biggest Byrds’ hits “Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There is a Season).” This song was actually written by Pete Seeger and in a perfect impression of Seeger McGuinn told a story of Seeger reading a letter involving the song, and had no idea McGuinn had met him years earlier at a performance at Chicago’s Navy Pier. McGuinn walked out with a Rickenbacker guitar to perform his first song which was Bob Dylan’s “My Back Pages.” McGuinn then sat down in the middle of the stage surrounded by a few trees, his guitars, and cases to talk about influences like Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Bob Gibson, and Gene Vincent. McGuinn played a solo show that also included storytelling and how his songs were written.
