The Byrds were one of the many bands that played at the Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival (June 10th and 11th, 1967) in Marin County, the bay area's first such music event (the Monterrey Pop Festival was a week later and wasn't in the bay area). David Crosby's lyrics were inspired by the goings on during this festival. The Hells Angels motorcycle club provided informal security at this event. By the way, admission was $2 and other acts included the Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Canned Heat, The Steve Miller Blues Band, and many others.
