The Byrds - live on the TNT Show [Colourised] 1965 

Great comment 👊

Yup...people actually exhibited human qualities, acted and behaved as if they were still....HUMAN! Not like most of the mentally and emotionally numb/bankrupt zombies we have passing for human beings today.

I am a member of 'that generation,' but I fail to see the specialness. No doubt every generation is unique in some way. Perhaps the baby boom generation is special in terms of its pleasure-seeking ethos, its unrepentant hedonism! To quote the inimitable Austin Powers, "As long as people are still having promiscuous sex with many anonymous partners while at the same time experimenting with mind-expanding drugs in a consequence-free environment, I’ll be sound as a pound!"

My folks music left memories from the 1960s. We miss the age of civility & protests.

Hey that's a fantastic comment man, this video is a wonderful time capsule . A time when things felt much better than now.

he looks like messi

Crosby never impressed me here or with CS&N. Overated. The Byrds is Roger Mcguinn's 'show' and the genius, Robert at 68.

@@bobmalack481 To each their own. Here, his harmony singing does all the difference for me.

The man could sing and harmonize like an Angel, play hollow body electric beautifully with that jingle jangle sound, but to be fair there are millions of guys who can do that, What makes David Crosby a Rock Legend are the songs he wrote and co- wrote. Those Who can do THAT are RARE indeed.@@bobmalack481

Hamony singer.

And only Gene Parsons and John York remain of the latter-day era Byrds lineup(s).

Mcguinn is the heart of the Byrds

@@bobmalack481Crosby said as much. Said no offense to the rest of the guys but mcguinn was at least half the band. I will say from what I hear gene has the strongest vocal.

@@Mncrr The overall big picture is Mcguinn is the heart and soul of the Byrds with his 12 string lead guitar and his distinctive voice. Clark or Crosby is over rated. Crosby got the boot from the Byrds after '66, and Crosby remained mediocre with CSN (and sometimes Y) Young and Mcguinn 4 times more talented thsn Clark or Crosby.

@@bobmalack481 all true except gene Clark had a stronger voice and was a good songwriter. Fear of flying led to his departure. Crosby was way overrated.

😂👍

The solo girl at 3:00 'floats my boat' in the day. Slight facial structure of Chrissie Hynde. Robert at 68

@@bobmalack481 Girls were SOO cute then!

Illya Kuryakin 😁

Great Intro !@☆♡

and father of val mccallum lead guitar with jackson browne ...

Napolean Solo..

Of course they did. They always did.

@@jaubrey7257 sadly they did not. Very hit and miss live act.

The latter-day era Byrds comprised of McGuinn, Gene Parsons, Clarence White, and Skip Battin actually became better than the original Byrds lineup live.

Igual terminsron siendo una de las bandas más importantes de la historia del rock

Not the Byrds, Roger and 3 hired hands

I love that it's LIVE and all the different camera shots, both of band and audience. Yeah, this is some seriously great footage.

The audio is so gritty and real. I love to close my eyes and pretend I’m there.

True! Gene shares the mix with Roger on the record as well.

Exactly so nice to hear a live track even rarer now strange

amazing. the definitive sound of the sixties

1966

@@simplechronology2605 ‘66 was all amazing, but something about the innocence of ‘65 before psychedelia fully took hold just appeals to me. Then again, the ‘66 San Francisco sound is a strong contender

A lot of them were.

Gene looks actually a bit older. Crosby 24, McGuinn 23. Michael Clarke the youngest here only 19 I think. But fantastic that this is the original line - up real live and no lip sync!

👊

Right. I heard an interview with Crosby the other day. He said they met Dylan around this time and he really liked their sound and referred to it as electrified folk and it greatly influenced when he went electric at the Newport Folk Festival.......

Grandma!!!

Upto you mate, just trying to give things a new slant. They are great tho as you say

@@bluesincolour Thanks for uploading it. I'm 64 and just tend to like things the way they originally were.

@@geraldscott4302 Hey no problem at all!

I enjoyed the colorization. Thank you.

😂

Hahahaha

So dumb looking..save it for the 'Mr. Soul' music video a couple years later with CS&N video with him and Steven Stills in a cowboy hat duck stepping like Chuck Berry onstage struting around. David Crosby..overated. Robert at 68.

You mean "Jim"

His chord changes are done well and that says something. He plays quite well at Woodstock. Used a lot of open tunings. Had a fine voice for both lead and harmony.

Drugs.

Self inflected!

@@kjstars This plus that unrelenting tool of cruel fate: male pattern baldness. And maybe a little too much munchies

From what I understand, monitors weren't a thing until the late 60's. I think I read the Rolling Stones were the first rock group to have monitors, and they reportedly were amazed that they could finally hear themselves onstage.

He always wore that damn cape !

Nothing no more super cool than Roger Mcguinn with the 12 string Rickenbacker guitar, his hair, and those rectangular blue 'shades' Robert at 69 in Az.

you'd be listening to childish lyrics if it wasnt for Dylan and the entire folk revival

no doubt. the beatles’ signature rickenbacker jangle and dylan’s lyrics and melodies gave the byrds a platform on which they could build. the reality is that the beatles and bob dylan are, 60 years later, almost incomparable to those who’ve followed since. you can’t discredit the byrds though. they reimagined and reinterpreted a great sound that so many failed to make their own with such success as the byrds’ while making bob dylan’s tunes a blueprint for their own back catalogue. mr tambourine man is a truly great album. the byrds were obviously taking from dylan and the beatles, but who hasn’t at some stage? the byrds will always be acknowledged for the bob dylan tunes they reworked, and even across the originals, that influence alongside the rickenbacker twang, lifted shamelessly from the beatles ‘hard day’s night.’ can’t discredit any band that has taken from the beatles and bob dylan at all. the byrds i’m sure would never have professed to have come close in matching lennon/mccartney/harrison or dylan’s creativity, they just made great tunes (be it their own or those they made their own) sound as good as pop music has ever sounded. and no one can deny eight miles high is a true staple of psychedelia in the mid 60s either.

Oh, I'm pretty sure Chuck Berry, Link Wray, Dick Dale, The Ventures, Duane Eddy, and The Surfaris had already preempted that possibility.

As if there were a problem with doo-wop...

😂

The line-up was: Chris Hillman, David Crosby, Michael Clarke, Gene Clark, Roger McGuinn.

Shock of all shocks.

The solo one at 3:00 'floats my boat' in the day (or now) Robert at 68.

Quit cryin

What?? Ya ok peace brother Don't be a hypocrite

Actually, I think you'll find most are still in that same state of mind. You get older, but you never stop trying to achieve the dream of love, open-mindedness and peace.

@@sweetsue1071 Eh? Hypocrite for pointing out that some have forgotten the dream and are supporting Trump?

@@roughbeast Why is it you even have to bring his name up? He lives rent free in your head.
