0:54 Crosby was always wearing that cloak cause he was the Bands and many others Mk Monarch Occult "Handler" 'You must be an initiated witch to get a record contract' Check out this link youtube.com/watch?v=Otti-82jEA­c

Dylan told McGuinn "you let me down" in reference to the Sonny & Cher version being a bigger hit than the Byrds version in the U.S. Either way, Dylan made over $100,000 in royalties in 1965 because McGuinn completely rewrote the melody and composed a separate bridge. Even so, he always speaks well of Dylan. Hey, Mr. McGuinn! Rewrite one of MY songs for me and make me rich while I get all the credit and YOU do all the work!

[THEScottCampbell]

It should be noted that McGuinn wrote the entire bridge to this version, note for note, and Sonny Bono took a reel to reel tape recorder to Ciro's when the Byrds were performing this song, plugged it into the wall, and taped their entire set. Shortly thereafter, Sonny & Chere released their own version of "All I Really Want To Do" just as the Byrds version came out as a single.

terrible miming, but the song and the look on genes face at 0:23 makes up for it

God bless the creator of the Rickenbacker 12-string electric guitar.

[CleRoyster]

Unfortunately.....these guys...except McGuinn.....were not playing the instruments on a lot of these songs.

[sandercohen666]

@CleRoyster ...really...weren't they...how interesting...

[ejectorerector]

@CleRoyster the only time the band did not play was "mr tambourine man"

[CleRoyster]

[ejectorerector]

AWSOME

[STFCstoneroses]

So cool!! Best haircuts in music history

[valeriemci1]

Ah yes, The Byrds...I met them also back in 1966. Here is a clue to theri personalities. I quit listening to their music after meeting them. What a bunch of rude JERKS espcially Jim McQuinn and David Crosby. They aren't worth the time of day.

[Virturo1970]

How come so many artists copy each others songs in the sixties?Wheren't there any rules against using each others material?

Or did just anybody do it?

[MontagTheMagician]

@Virturo1970 It was easier back then. You only needed the band's permission as apposed to all the legal red tape we got today. Dennis Hopper talks about that in his commentary for easy rider. Still, I'm sure there were some legal procedures they had to go through.

@Virturo1970

Copy? It's called "covering". What don't you get? For most of the history of the world, most places, (including today) by far most people don't write or play their own songs. In the Sixties, the Beatles were exceptional in that they mostly did...However, they also raised expectations, so many groups started performing and playing their own songs (not necc all that well) and even more, FAKED it. (Everyone...Everyone...then and now used studio musicians...even the Beatles)

At 0:21 .....is it just me or is Mike pretending to play the drums?

[Nokorola]

I wish there was a copy of this with the original audio track, I have a copy somewhere and it looks muxch better as Roger is actually saying the words in the order the video shows and not the recorded order. Just a bunch of the dubbed version on YouTube.

[mstax]

Cool that the sound is in stereo on this old vid - I guess they dubbed it in (again) for the re-use of it - the original vid probably had a noisy, mono, lo-fi track.

[cannibaljuice]

I Liked it when Gene Clark was with them

[Byrds1967]

Thanks for posting. Very clear video.

[wildbilco55]

Boy, those were the days! God Bless the Byrds!

[Byrds1967]
