Bob Dylan / Roger McGuinn – The Sparrow And The Byrd (aka The Byrd And The Sparrow)

Bob Dylan / Roger McGuinn – The Sparrow And The Byrd (aka The Byrd And The Sparrow)

Two LPs = no labels, no reference numbers (Germany 1985)

These are two identical LPs with the same tracks in the same sequence. The first one is housed in a blue and white sleeve and is titled “The Sparrow And The Byrd”. The second one is housed in a red and white sleeve and is titled “The Byrd And The Sparrow”.

Audio is the same on both records.

Both sleeves are unfolding in three parts (see images).

The “red” one has a text on the third part; the “blue” one’s third part is white.

All labels are plain white so they’re not included.

Bob Dylan tracks recorded during the 1984 tour of Europe (with Santana, Mick Taylor, Ian McLagan, Colin Allen, Greg Sutton - see dates and places details on back cover).

Roger McGuinn tracks recorded in Bochum, Germany on August 1, 1984.

On both releases, track B1, they forgot to print the second “o” in “Follow” on the back covers.

Incredibly, “new” Gene Clark concerts keep surfacing from time to time - this one, 36 years after it was performed and recorded.

Another one that was sent in by a visitor. It seems to originate from TD; thanks to the taper and the original uploader and poster.

Audience recording; don’t expect Hi-Fi!

I used Audacity to level, clean and balance the audio files.

Artwork is mine. Pictured on the front cover (left to right) are Rick Roberts, Carlos Bernal, Gene Clark…and John York’s arm, leg and guitar neck.

Acoustic concert

This is one I received from a visitor. Not sure, but it seems to originate from D-A-D. If so, thanks to the original taper and uploader. If not, thanks to them anyway.

Audio files are just as I received them, except I tagged them and I deleted duplicated files.

I added artwork.

The Byrds – Eight Miles High - Live In Nuremberg, West-Germany 1989

The Byrds – Eight Miles High

Live In Nuremberg, West-Germany, September 22, 1989

Do It 005 (West-Germany 1990)

Michael Clarke (drums)

Skip Battin (bass, piano, vocals)

Terry Jones Rogers (guitar, vocals)

Jerry Sorn (guitar, vocals)

At the time this was recorded, original Byrds drummer Michael Clarke owned the “Byrds” trademark so he could hire whoever he wanted and call the band “The Byrds”. That’s what he did when he/they toured Europe in 1989. So what you have here is the original Byrds drummer Michael Clarke, latter days Byrds bass player/vocalist Skip Battin and a couple of unknown hired guns playing songs made famous by the original group. In other words, a rather poor quality cover group.

Notes:

- this LP was posted here earlier but this is a new version with audio files updated and labels and freshly scanned booklet added

- this concert was actually recorded in Siegen, Germany (not in Nuremberg as mentioned on the LP cover)

- track A1 is spelled as "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better" in the booklet, "I'll Feel In A Whole Lot Better" on the back cover, and "I'll Fell A Whole Lot Better" on the label.

- track B6 is spelled as "Move Too Soon" in the booklet, and "Move To Soon" on the back cover and on the label.

- the pictures on the covers are from the 70s line up of The Byrds (Roger McGuinn, Clarence White, Gene Parsons and Clyde “Skip” Battin)

- Discogs show a different front cover (included), with a picture of the correct line up but it’s obviously a fan job, not a re-release by the label

- the sleeve hosts an eight page booklet with lyrics and overview of the releases of The Byrds.

- a version exists in a white cardboard sleeve with black and white copies of the original color sleeve (front and back) glued on it or inserted in it.

The Byrds – Doin’ Auright For Old People

The Byrds – Doin’ Auright For Old People

My original LP = Excitable Recordworks Label 4506-1 (USA 1978)

My CD = Aulica Label A-148 (Italy 1993) (re-titled Doin’ Alright For Old People – Live In Frisco 1978)

Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, Chris Hillman, David Crosby

The Aulica CD wrongly states that Michael Clarke was there – he wasn’t.

This performance was initially planned as McGuinn, Clark and Hillman solo sets followed by a reunion at the Boarding House in San Francisco in February 1978, but at one point they were joined by David Crosby. They hadn’t played or sung together since 1973 and the magic of the blended voices happened instantly.

This is part of the show only. More complete versions (including solo spots by Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark and Chris Hillman with Kim O’Kelly) were later made available by various CD labels and by online download sites (all unofficially).

1. Roger McGuinn - Jolly Roger (3:18)
2. Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark  Chris Hillman - Chestnut Mare (5:49)
3. Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, Chris Hillman, David Crosby - Mr. Tambourine Man (6:45)
