These were the concerts that led to problems between Gene Clark and Michael Clarke with the rest of the original Byrds. They are not the Byrds, but then again, many thought the same of lineup of McGuinn, York, White and Parsons. As a tribute band, well, they do the major hits and don't sound bad. One could object to Sail on Sailor being included, as it was a Beach Boys song, but in this recording that's the only discordant element. What McGuinn and company objected to was the band being called The Byrds and not the Byrds Tribute Band. It's not a great effort, and maybe they all needed a little money at the time. But it's a shame that the original five didn't get together for at least a few concerts before Clark and Clarke died. Thanks R--B.
