Thank You for posting
Thank You
As always, many thanks for sharing RB !
Thank you for a very interesting show from quite a long time ago . I thought I had this but on checking I did not have it.Thanks again !
Interesting concert from a tight band. A couple of observations are in order. One is that Gene Parsons was underused vocally when he was with the Byrds. He had a nice, mellow voice, and some good songs, but McGuinn didn't let him so many songs. And Skip Battin is a much better singer here than with the Byrds--he drops all the mannerisms and just sings. His Santa Ana Winds (which I've experienced!) would have made a good Byrds song, especially with harmony. He could sing when he wanted to--just listen to his cover of Dylan's She Belongs to Me--would McGuinn have done it better? A final observation is that this band is playing what is basically early seventies music in 1984. They do it well, but by this time country rock and bluegrass was nostalgia music at best, and they had no chance of success. I also read somewhere that there was a problem of payment for these guys, while McGuinn, who was with them, got all his money. I don't know the whole story and may have gotten the facts a little wrong, but if this is true the group certainly deserved better than that and probably resented McGuinn for this, even though it wasn't really his fault.
Thanks for the upload--a real rarity and nice to listen to as well.
