RB,
thanks for this. Just when we thought there would be no more Gene Clark stuff....very nice artwork as well.Again, many thanks and thanks for keeping your fantastic blog for us Byrd nuts.
A nice, low-key concert. As I don't live in the US, I had never heard Gene Clark sing with Carla Olson, and what a fine duet they make. Carla has a strong voice which sounds best in the lower registers, and her voice blends in well with Clark's. I hadn't heard most of these songs, so there's an element of surprise as well, at least for me. It's a shame Gene never got the recognition he deserved--he was a fine, prolific songwriter and an effective singer. His version of Hot Burrito #2 (terrible title for this song)is superior even to Gram Parsons' soulful version Carla Olson doesn't do so well on the high parts, but I like her voice over all. This is a nice performance with a competent backup band and an appreciative audience. Like all Gene Clark concerts at this stage, there¡s a certain element of sadness knowing that this gifted but flawed human being had only a few more years to go. Thanks, R--B; this is a little gem.
