  • wow I would have sworn that was a pedal steel

  • @paperboy6996

    Oh this IS pedal steel :: with JD Maness or Lloyd Green

    But Clarence is also on the song but NOT with the B Bender , cause the BBender wasn't invented by Clarence and Gene yet.

    The first bender can be heard on 'Nashville West ' album later that year , but wasn't released . The album appeared after his dead.

    But during the Byrds with Clarence White as member (1969-1973) the BBender is often used for that song on stage.

  • On Sweetheart of the Rodeo , Clarence was just a Byrds session man.

  • The Byrd's "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" album was not a commercial success but helped start the huge musical movement to country rock. This song was the most featured on the album, but there are plenty of contributions by Gram Parsons and Chris Hillman, who soon later formed the Flying Burrito Brothers.

  • Better than Dylans.

  • I can't handle how cool this song is. I can't take it. Thank you for posting this country song that puts to shame ever modern "country" record. Thank you!

  • No I'm not, I'm just expressing my opinion ;)

  • worst version of this song

  • @14Fabry Well, you are kinda gay, anyways.

  • WHY god can I not find the Dylan version ANYWHERE??

  • @MesaJune , Because the copyrights are in effect...Many artist only let you hear SOME song not the whole catalog.With Dylan is particularly notorious.

  • @MesaJune grooveshark. That's where I get my Dylan fill

  • I wonder how there's no version of Dylan...

  • Bob Dylan, on his version on "Greatest Hits Vol.II, sang:

    "Pick up your money, pull up your tent McGUINN. You ain't going nowhere."

    A little poke at Roger?

    I love this Byrds version. Harmonies are handsome, and whoever's doing that pretty picking (Clarence White?), he really helps make it a great recording too.

    Jimmy Page is on record as saying he was a big admirer of Clarence's playing.

    What a shame he got killed in the '70s by a drunk driver while putting his guitar in the back of a car.

  • @Bobjb999 There's a documented back and forth between Dylan and McGuinn, I forget now where I read about it. McGuinn had changed a Dylan lyric and you identify Dylan's comeback.

  • @Jaclyn1947 In a '70s McGuinn interview he said in the early '70s Dylan had asked McGuinn to recruit musicians for D. to use to record some tracks in a studio. D. was a day or so later arriving than the musicians had expected,so they decided Dylan wasn't going to show,&they left town.Dylan showed up&was peeved with Roger,who quoted D. as saying:"Musicians, musicians.I can get musicians at the drop of a pin."

    McGuinn said D. was just mad at him for a while. It didn't wreck their friendship.

  • bobby D. would be proud of this verson of 1 of his many songs when this song is on I ANT GOING NOWHERE

  • not pedal steel. Clarence White on Telecaster with B bender. you can search you tube for it.

  • @jameus4 This has both Clarence and a pedal steel. In concert, Clarence would replicate the steel on the B-Bender, but this has Jay Dee Maness, I believe, on steel guitar.

  • best version of this song....

  • GAWD, pedal steel as sweet and pure as country water...Thank you for posting this!

  • Beautiful sound. Used to play this in honky-tonks, i.e. the Silver Slipper Saloon in Central City, Colo. back in the late 70s. Regards, The '62 Mathew St. Band (1 Man-Full Group Retro)

  • oohwee close your eyes we go back 40 years and this is still a classic rendition of dylans song i love the byrds saw them live in 68 and 71 last saw mcguinn in2005 he is awesome. i am ex uk living in the philippines i relive this wonderful music via my pc
