After the Byrds, Roger had to decide if he was Roger McGuinn or the Byrds, and it seems he came down on the latter side. OK, there's nothing unusual about that, since the Byrds were what made him, but at 32 years old he seemed to have stopped exploring new territory, like he did with Crosby in 5D. And frankly, his voice is fine for some songs, but it's not a strong voice and sounds better when accompanied by good harmony singers, such as Crosby and sometimes Hillman. His rapport with the audience is good, as befits a man with so much experience, and he is the one of the few artists I know that can accompany himself with an electric 12-string and nothing else. I've never seen Roger by himself, but from the evidence of this concert he tried to give a good performance and play what the audience wanted. Well, that's why they went to see him, and I'm sure they came away satisfied.
