I've never heard this before. In fact, except for the items on Self-Portrait, I don't remember hearing any Dylan concerts. I still think he has a lousy voice, although it works on quite a lot of his songs. The McGuinn section is rather more recognizable, but it's nice to hear songs rarely heard in concert tapes, such as Woman, Light Up the Darkness, and Sweet Memories, songs he never recorded until Sweet Memories appeared on his last album (and gave it its title). But the best song here is Russian Hill, from Thunderbyrd. A real gem, that one. Another surprise is One More Chance, from City. I like when McGuinn dips into his solo album catalog, which contains quite a few worthy compositions. I haven't listened to the first volume of The Sparrow and the Byrd, mainly because it contains all-too-familiar songs from the Byrds years. If I were his manager, I would recommend he broaden the sources of his material, from the Folk Den to solo albums (does he ever do anything from Peace on You or Limited edition or even his first solo album?) to Byrds material. Thanks for this interesting upload, R--B.
