More like a Byrds reunion than a concert by McGuinn, Clark and Hillman. Only three MCH songs, plus one Manassas song (and a good one), one later Byrds song, and five old Byrds songs. All well done, of course. The old songs sound much like the originals, with the exception of Clark's vocals on I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better and the disco-style introduction to So You Wanna Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star. The new songs sound better live than on record, as in all the presentations I've heard. The treatment of Chestnut Mare is old-Byrds-do-Later Byrds. It is a worthy interpretation, but one misses Clarence White's unforgettable guitar parts, both acoustic and electric. As for the Roger McGuinn and Band cuts, they're OK. I saw this band once and thought they were pretty good at the time, though the subsequent recording was uneven and even included re-workings of Lover of the Bayou and Born to Rock and Roll, which suggests a lack of new material. An interesting pair of performances, thanks.
