Discography

I'm working on the Burritos' discography here. I'm only doing the official US discography, as that's the one that matters. All the tons of live recordings and the one or two studio records released abroad...eh I'll get to those later, but they're not a priority. Also, I'm going to include unofficial compilations like Sleepless Nights in their own section. --Analogdemon (talk) 23:58, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Name of band

Anyone elborate on that? I've heard it was a bar that was big with rock bands in the early 60's somewhere in California —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 198.190.230.57 (talk) 18:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Bros not Brothers

The band is actually "The Flying Burrito Bros" not "The Flying Burrito Brothers." This is how it is listed on their official studio releases.

Altamont

"Although peaceful at first, over the course of the day, the mood of both the crowd and the Angels became progressively agitated, intoxicated and violent. The Angels had been drinking their free beer all day in front of the stage, and most were highly drunk. Fueled by LSD and amphetamines, the crowd had also become antagonistic and unpredictable, attacking each other, the Angels, and the performers. A Jagger biographer, Anthony Scaduto, in Mick Jagger: Everybody's Lucifer, wrote that the only time the crowd seemed to calm down to any degree was during a set by the country-rocking Flying Burrito Brothers."

Formation of the original band

The Flying Burrito Brothers were not founded by Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman. The band was started by Ian Dunlop and Micky Gauvin after leaving Gram Parsons' International Submarine Band after they left the East Coast for L.A. Dunlop and Gauvin were more interested in playing more soul-oriented material than the country-leaning Gram and the ISB. Therefore the ISB's only release on Lee Hazelwood International (LHI), Dunlop and Gauvin are replaced by Bob Buchanan and Jon Corneal. Gram would occasionally sit in with the FFB. Later Gram formed his own country band, and "borrowed" the name from his former ISB bandmates. Hillman was in the new version of the FBB. More at David Meyer's definitive Parsons' biography, Twenty Thousand Roads. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atticweb (talk • contribs) 18:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So should the initial founding date be changed from 1968 when Gram and Chris began using the name to 1967 when Barry and Gram came up with the name? 2600:8804:8940:1050:C0D1:9414:58D3:1F99 (talk) 17:19, 24 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Original line-up

@ the end of the second sentence of the last ¶ of this § Country Gazette is marked w/ a hyperlink that takes the reader to an article about a small, unrelated newspaper and NOT the intended band. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lholland04 (talk • contribs) 16:08, 4 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"@", "¶", "§", "w/" ... what kind of language do you speak? Is it really English? Those are not words. Sign yourself too.

Can anyone verify that John Dubiel was a member? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.214.12.79 (talk) 21:50, 10 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wayne "Bridges" is actually incorrect

His name is "Wayne Bridge." No "S".

He currently resides in North Alabama, USA, near Huntsville.

He also played with Vern Gosdin... so his name being incorrect is easily verifiable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.138.8.49 (talk) 17:48, 29 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Cadd - inconsistent dates

This article says Brian Cadd played keyboards from 1991 to 1996; however Brian Cadd's page says 1989 - 1991. I have no knowledge or references on the subject; but as Brian appears to have been in Australia from at least 1993, and he's little more than a footnote to this article, I suspect the dates from his own page are more reliable.

Brian toured with them in Feb 1996 according to this link: http://www.burritobrother.com/fbb11.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8804:8940:F8CC:25D1:3EF0:78C9:ED3 (talk) 18:46, 11 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Live and compilation albums

The live and compilation album lists should be tabulated just like for the rest of the albums.

ICE77 (talk) 16:01, 20 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I fixed the live albums. Compilation albums still need reviewing and tabulation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kaiserwil (talk • contribs) 05:37, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
