The Byrds – Live Radio & TV 1965 & 1967



The Byrds – Live Radio & TV 1965 & 1967

Tracks 1-7: Jim McGuinn, Gene Clark, David Crosby, Michael Clarke, Chris Hillman

Tracks 8-22: Jim McGuinn, David Crosby, Michael Clarke, Chris Hillman

It is strange that there’s no complete concert available anywhere, by the original 5-men or 4-men Byrds from 1965 to 1967 (except for their 8-song performance at the Monterey Pop Festival in June 1967 which is officially available). All we have is TV and radio live performances, but no complete concert. So here’s a compilation of some of their appearances on these medias.

A live concert by "The Five" would be the Holy Grail. Dickson should be cursed daily for not allowing Columbia to record a night as Ciro's as they had intended. Imagine having a whole night of the Byrds at Ciro's in 1965? One wonders if anyone is sitting on any tapes anywhere. This is a nice collection of what is available from those sources.

The Sweden show is missing the Bells of Rhymney. Wonder why that was cut from so many versions that have circulated. Some dialogue was also cut from the original broadcast.
