Thanks a billion...
This concert is a real pleasure. MCH were criticized for not sounding enough like the Byrds and for making what seemed to be a disjointed first album which showed three individual performers doing their thing. I saw them as a trio in 1979 and was quite impressed--they followed the standard solo acts first and then as a group. They hadn't yet developed into what the first album showed, but they were very friendly and professional, three former colleagues who were playing together again after all these years. For some reason, it didn't work on the album, but it certainly worked live. Every concert I've heard from this channel has been first-class, a real reunion of colleagues with more of an emphasis on the signature 12-string sound which defined the original Byrds as well as the musical directions each musician had added to his sound over the years. MCH is not the Byrds, but they sure sound like the Byrds. An example is Chestnut Mare, a 'cover' of the last Byrds lineup version, which was probably their highest point. MCH's version is pure early Byrds, with better vocals and a more electric sound. In concert, MCH is a very coherent band with a recognizable sound, based on the Byrds but not the Byrds. This concert illustrates that very well. The Byrds songs are vintage Byrds all right, and despite the distance are well-played--8 Miles High is a real gem. But the new songs, adapted to the Byrds sound, sound very much a continuation of these musicians' personal musical journeys as well as allowing new contributions in a familar, enjoyable sound. It's a shame the first MCH album didn't capture the the excitement and consistency of the live version of the band, with its Byrds sound and different musical directions, even semi-disco. A very enjoyable concert R--B. This group deserved better luck.
