GREAT! GREAT! GREAT!
What else can I say?
A huge thank you to you, Rocking Byrd!
again; many, many thanks !
A very interesting concert from a band on its last legs. The real surprise here are three songs never before heard (by me, at least) in a Byrds concert: Central Park, which I guess is another Battin-Fowley composition, plus two songs that would later appear on McGuinn's first solo album: Hanoi Hannah and I'm So Restless. Very nice, especially Hanoi Hannah. The loss of Gene Parsons is especially noted on the vocals--they should never have done Jesus is Just Alright without him. John Guerin is a superior drummer, though I don't know if his style is for the Byrds. I get the impression the Byrds were fulfilling contracted appearances at this point and did not intend with Guerin in the studio. Or am I wrong? Whatever the case, music from this period of the Byrds is always interesting, and I thank you R--B for making it available.
Central Park is a Battin-Fowley song from Skip's first solo LP on Signpost (1972). McGuinn, White and Guerin all played on that album.
Wow great songs! Thanks!!
Very interesting concert. The inclusion of what would become songs from solo albums from both Roger and Skip is of interest.
John Guerin on drums is odd on the ears when you are so used to Gene Parsons. Gene was sometimes lambasted for his "fussy" style behind the kit, but I have to agree with the comment Steve made, and add I do not think Guerins style was a Byrds fit. Obviously he came to the gig with minimal rehearsal I would assume, and would have probably benefitted from not attempting some of the fills he did.
All said, its still a great concert - Thanks a lot Rockingbyrd
Last one that I missed and that I will bother you on. A repost would be wonderful, but I understand if you've had enough of my requests.
Thanks for everything over the years!
Thank you for the repost. Much appreciated.
ciao Rockingbyrd...
can you plese repost thi one even for me?
thanks a lot

Hi, Rocking--Byrd-Thank you for all the recent new posts, and for having kept your blog open to everyone. May I impose upon you to re-post this show? There are some surprises in the set list, and this is one of few soundboard shows that feature John Guerin on drums. I'd love to hear it, and have missed it in the past. Thank you!
Thank you so much for reposting this, Rocking--Byrd! I'm looking forward to listening to this! On a completely different note, for those interested, the man whose place was taken here by John Guerin has a new album out. Gene Parsons has released an album in collaboration with David Hayes, who might be best known as having been a member of Van Morrison's band, though he has released a number of albums on his own as well. It's a really nice, folky, and occasionally bluegrass-y sounding CD. They perform all the instruments and vocals on it, and on a cover of Steve Earle's "Hillbilly Highway" they have an additional vocalist as well. If you like Gene Parsons' music, I suspect you'd like this CD, too. As far as I know, it is only available here: www.musicofmendocino.com/styled-3/index.html. Just to let you know....
I was at this show. I was on line to get in and they ran out of tickets. A friend who had a ticket got Roger McgGuinn's attention as he he was going into the show through the line. McGuinn stopped and asked him what's up. My friend told him that three died hard fans weren't able to get in, Mcguinn had him bring us up and took all four of us into the green room and into the show. Unforgettable!
