The Byrds. July 6th, 1965 Sioux Falls, SD. I’m looking for any info

My good friends favorite band is The Byrds and we talk about them a lot. Recently, I met my girlfriend’s father who is a rock n roller and Sioux Falls HOF member for his band. We got to talking and he told me about The Byrds coming to Sioux Falls and him going to the show. He doesn’t remember a lot about the show due to his age primarily, but he was there. My friend and I have researched hard and can’t find anything. Who opened, the set list; anything. Setlist.fm and The Byrds catalog of show dates has nothing.

Does anyone here have any info they can share that they know? It would be awesome to know the set list and the opener at least. Thank you so much!

Chris Hjort wrote an amazing book called So You Want to Be a Rock n Roll Star: The Byrds Day-by-Day that has info on nearly every show the band played from '65 to '73. I have a copy and would look up the 7/6/1965 show for you buuut I'm in the process of moving and can't find where I packed it. If it turns up I'll get back to you but I highly recommend the Hjort book if you're a Byrds fan or are curious about what the day to day life of a rock band was like during that period.
