Thanks Rocking-Byrd.
You have amazing sources!
Long may they flourish.
Thanks for those beautiful music.
Just to set the record straight, the Battin Byrds performed most of the songs with the exception of tracks 9, 11, and 12, which were done by the York-era Byrds, and tracks 1, 2, and 13 which were done by the original Byrds (minus Gene Clark). The sound is rather good for the most part, with the exception of the York segments, where the vocals are poorly balanced against the instruments. A pity, as I like the concerts of this version of the Byrds, having seen them in 1969 and being surprised by the variety of the setlist ( eg track 11) and the beautiful version of Jesus is Just Alright, which was the closest the later Byrds got to the original sound. The Battin Byrds are sometimes considered to be the best live group, but the results here are mixed, such as on Chestnut Mare, where McGuinn seems to have forgotten how the song goes. I still prefer the original group, but appreciate the accomplishments of the later group as well. But I don't think the Battin Byrds ever did the songs of the original group very well--their forté were the songs they had recorded, as you might expect. Thanks for these interesting compilations.
Thanks for what you're doing RB :)
Omissions, mistakes and misspelling: oh... it's made in Italy...
We don't miss a chance to cut a bad figure...
