Thanks a lot.Will be a nice listening in my truck tomorrow.
Thanks R-B.
Thanks, RB ! Sent you an email about a couple new shows I came across if you're interested.
Although this was not very different from the concerts of this era, the performances and sound quality are very good indeed. Given the amount of concerts they did during this period, it is noteworthy how enthusiastic this band sounds. A comment--McGuinn should have used the vocal talents of Gene Parsons more as a lead singer. He doesn't sing one song on the Byrdmaniax album, and his voice is surely better than either Clarence's or Skip's. The interviews are nice as well. Thanks for this upload, R--B.
I've had this for years but not in such good quality !! Thank you so much !
Really good to hear them sound so good.By the way ,does anyone have the quadrophonic mix of Byrdmaniax as I understand it is a LOT different with Mcguinn's 12 string more prominent on things like I Wanna Grow up.On youtube
there is a backing track of My Destiny with only instruments and backing
vocals Regards Kevin
Kevin, I have the Byrdmaniax quadrophonic LP but I can only play it on my Dual stereo turntable, so I don't know if that's good enough for you.
Hi Rocking Byrd,That is Brilliant ! As I understand it quad L.Ps sound different when played on ordinary decks,but as I've never heard it I can't say.But i would love to hear it. I've always thought Byrdmaniax to be really underrated if a bit quirky. Thanks for the reply.Best wishes and thanks kevin
Good on you bro. man I wish these guys would record together
Unbelieveable indeed!
Thanks a billion!
