I always love to hear the Byrds, and particularly this lineup. Clarence White's playing is so fluid here, in a way that shows the diversity of this band. Gene Parsons and White have a multifaceted relationship, with the B-Bender guitar project as developed by Parson's in his home shop. It's totally cool to hear these guys playing here, with McGuinn's soaring growl, the raw sophistication musically conveyed like that country rock classic Nashville West, where White's guitar combines with Skip Battin and Gene's rock-steady-ness. And then they do the classic "Turn Turn Turn" in the way it is, as in the other classic, "Mr Tamborine Man". Whoa! Check out the musical dreamland in that lead playing along with the transcendental reminder: "8-Miles High"; glad the feedback gave way to the journey as planned, 12-string McGuinn, Battin, Parsons driving the reaching Clarence my man White, the fluidity of his playing once again takes me back into hearing versions of classicd i've never heard before. The jam in 8-miles high here is the best i have heard. These guys were cooking, Gene & Skip over there taking it to the edge and then to take-a-little-time-there, and take it over the road a ways Gene. Skip drops the bottom bass line & Gene comes back around to...33:30 -ish Touch Down to Final Landing. Anyway, a whole lot of Escellent Music played here by 1 of my favorite bands, The Byrds. Hey kid, So You Want To Be A Rock & Roll Star!? Yeah, well...Then Play On. Like this...
Clarence White's guitar playing was masterful, as were McGuinn and Gene Parsons on drums, Skip Battin on bass. Did you find this concert as characterized in any particular way, hearing it here and having been there?
