It is with great sadness that I have to announce the end of the Rocking-Byrd and Rocking--Byrd blogs.
The ever-dropping amount of visitors, downloads and comments leave me no choice, as I just can't go on putting so much time and energy for just a handful of people. I feel sorry for the regulars, but so be it.
Two more concerts will be uploaded, on Mondays December 20 and 27, 2010.
No new post in 2011.
The blogs will stay up until January 30, 2011, so hurry up if there's something you want to download.
If you come across dead or broken links, please let me know so I can re-upload the files and update the links (that is, until January 30, 2011).
The blogs will be taken down on February 1, 2011.
Many thanks to all those who have supported the blogs during all these years.

It is with great sadness I learn that yuo will end this musical mission providing all aging Byrdsfans with joy and musical happiness. Thank you for enriching my life so far, Tanx again /kensal
A real shame, but I guess I could see it coming after the prolonged absence last year. I understand your reasons for dropping the blog and just want to say Thank You! for providing so many hours of listening pleasure. You will be missed.
Thank a lot for all the great music you shared with us, and best wishes for your future.
Thank you for all that you have shared with us. I greatly appreciate all of your efforts. Please know that you will be missed!
Really sad to see the end of this . I've managed to get some great music from you. Thanks and best wishes
Rocking-byrd
Thanks a lot for the music you have shared with us. I understand your reasons wholeheartedly.
Best wishes for the future - stay safe.
Perhaps you will consider some sort of trading-tree ala the old Grateful dead Trading trees. Blogs are becoming abundant on the net, but this was the first one that I found interesting and useful and I will miss it greatly. Ok, so now maybe you'll release that 1965 live show....lol.
So very sorry to hear about the end of this blog. It is my first stop each day and the source of so much great Byrd pleasure.
Will look fwd to your last two postings and can only wonder what other gems you still might have in your extensive Byrds library.
Regardless, you take care Rockingbird and only the best for you and yours this Christmas and in the New Year 2011!
Know that you served this small buy loyal Byrds' fanbase admirably and awesomely.
Sorry to see you go- thanks for the blog! I've got some great stuff from you in the past couple of years.
You'll be missed- take care!
I've left a comment on this elsewhere but just so as its not missed, please may I add my sincere thanks and gratitude for this fantastic blog. Not only has the music brought me a tremendous amount of pleasure but I've gained such a lot of new information about Gene Clark and his wonderful talent. Thank you so much and very best wishes for whatever new ventures you are planning.
Sorry to read you are closing the blog. In addition to quite a number of shows new to me it's also been extremely useful saving me much time transferring taped copies of the shows to CDR / PC.
thanks rockingbyrd for all the time you dedicated to us, byrdmaniacs... it is sad to read that you are closing down the blog.
the number of the gems you donated to us is unvaluable... anyway i wish to you and all your dears all the best for the oncoming 2011 an for xmas...
and remember, you have made happy a lot of people with your uploads...
a big hug, wherever you are...
paolo
thanks for all, and good luck for the future .
Happy new year for all the readers .
Very sorry to see this blog come to an end, but fully understandable. I've been away for some time due to press of business and then loads of computer problems, so havent' checked in here until past few days. I guess like many just came to take your blog for granted--figured it would always be here. Loads of great music, a real goldmine. Thanks for all of it, thanks for always responding to requests and thanks so much for sharing!!
I did find two links broken for shows I'd love to obtain before you go--the Gram Parsons (Byrds, Burritos & Fallen Angels) from August and the Gene Clark show from Columbus OH (also posted in August). Would most appreciate a final couple of re-ups on those.
Again, thanks so much for all your labors over past few years. I don't recall how I discovered your blog, but it has been a constant for me since then. Thanks!
Doug,
Both links now updated.
