I was a teen for this whole wild and wonderful era. The Byrds covered Dylan for their first couple of albums, and got millions into Dylan himself whats the problem with that. As for "under-rated" I don't know how. Enjoy everyone they were very special. No other group bridged folk and rock so well.
This is one outstanding video, a relic of its time amid the mid-60s, but as great today as it was back then. Michael Landon is hosting this episode of "Hullabaloo" with the ubiquitous "A Go Go" dancers assuming their "frozen model"
poses, as they were inclined to do in a number of videos of the time. Classic!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I reckon McGuinn's Ben Franklin sunglasses are slipping down his nose until 1.5 mins. After the close up of Crosby they seem to be back in order.
The Byrds are and will always be a part of my inner soul.Having had the chance to be with them for just a short time their music will never fade from my memory.It is so sad that Gene and Mike are gone.Gene was so underated as a song writer.ROCK AND ROLL FOREVER.
Actually, The Byrds did a really good version of it here. The Byrds still remain arguably the most influential guitar band of all time, there Brillant.
@Dbusdriver71 Don't get me wrong: they were very influential, and I LOVED them. But brilliant? 'Hey, I got an idea: let's take a (few) Bob Dylan songs, add a Rickenbacker 12 string and some harmonies, and see if kids will buy our records'. Oh, and don't forget to wear some 'granny' glasses.
@CorsairJock We can argue 'brillance' or the lack ot all we want. I admit, I'm not as moved as the generation that liked the movie were Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper r riding around the countryside, picking up hitchhikers and singing how free they are but their tunes led to so many wonderful things. Many bands found inspiration in their music; one of the most noteable to me is the Stone Roses. People, like me, who like guitar music like the band, especially the one that wears 'granny' glasses.
@CorsairJock One big complaint I always had is around this time is these shows would NEVER let bands play live! Its like a bad episode of the brand bunch or the partridge family. That led Crosby to say some really stupid things, among other things. I still know people that won't give up the notion the guy with the 'granny' glasses smoked something atomic but he was, well, accused of being brillant.
@Dbusdriver71 Your big complaint is not a big one. Back then most shows allowed the bands to play live. This was live if you listen to it carefully you will tell.
@CorsairJock@CorsairJock You and I are the same age and grew up in that era so I can't understand your simplistic dismissal of the Byrds. They were a hell of a lot more than just a Dylan cover group. They were pioneers and among the best of the sixties groups. Gene Clark, McGuinn, et. al. wrote most of their songs. Their progression is amazing from their first album thru songs like "Eight Miles High", the introspection of Notorious Byrd Brothers and the milestone Sweethearts of the Rodeo.
@StevenTut Hi Steve, I'm not 'dismissing' them, and like I said: "I LOVED them", I am just stating that I think some here are over-rating them. Inovative, imaginative, but I just wouldn't quite so far as to say "brilliant". I guess it's because the early to mid sixties were the golden age of rock for me, and there were so many artists emerging at that time, that it is hard for me to label one of them far above the rest.
@CorsairJock Ok, I see your point. I also dislike it when some here make over-the-top claims that a certain artist or group is far and away the best ever. It's usually the kids rather than those of us that were there. We understand how many great grops there were and how they all influenced each other. We were extremely fortunate to come of age during that era. It will never be repeated.

gene and daves mics arent mixed low, they just need to get on the mic abit more, if you stand back like that in a live environment youll be suprised how much the volume of your voice goes down once put out through the PA
Evil?! I beg your pardon. Many great bands have done have done different versions of others songs. For example, those four guy from England that did 'I get by with a little help from my friends." Are they evil to?
@ghramsey:"The 370 is a Roger McGuinn signature guitar line that came out way later." Only partially true. The RM model came out in the '80s, the 370 model has been out since '64.
"330/12 and 360/12 were the only 12 string Ricks at the time (mid-1965)."
Actually there was the 360/12, 330/12, 450/12. There was also the Model 1993/12 (Rose Morris) which was also sold in the US (limited number).
The backing track is very close to that heard on 'Preflyte Sessions'.I know it's not the same one,but it's very similar and we get to hear Gene on acoustic,just like on P.S.
This is so better than the CBS version on the 2nd album.
They should have kept the intro/outro riff (also heard on the bonus alternate version on the CD reissue) rather than that rather lame ending on the released version.
Wow, this sucks. Listen to Bob Dylan's performance, if you want to know how this song was meant.

dankmon1992 2 years ago
360. The 370 has 3 pickups.
SuperHimself90 2 years ago
The 370 is a Roger McGuinn signature guitar line that came out way later.
The 330/12 and 360/12 were the only 12 string Ricks at the time (mid-1965).
There might have been others, but nothing with the same size/shape tone as the 330/360 models.
The main difference between the 330/12 and 360/12 is the stereo output option the 360/12 and the "Ric-o-Sound" stereo kit available for it.
ghramsey 2 years ago
Yeah, you guys are on it. Roger didn't get his 370/12 until just before, or after 5D.
