Gene Clark: Hot. D. Crosby: Cute McGuinn: not so. 1965 I was at Ciro's in L.A. as they premiered this tune, and all the others from their first album. As a group of 17 year old females, who saw many, many groups on Sunset Strip: let me tell you...the first time the audience saw and heard the Byrds we all fell for them. TV shows back then set up tons of bands on one show...technology not evolved to avoid lipsynching. It's music history and it's OK!

This songs okay wish the screaming fan would shut the FUCK UP! It reminds me of someone making a blunt or just chilling around and being mellow ~_~
-
Could Jim McGuinn affected a creepier stage personna? I dont think at this stage of his career he could have.
-
You have to understand that lip synched performances and fake dubbed in screaming was part of state of the art entertainment in the sixties. We just didn't get it, or didn't mind too much. Watching pop stars on TV is always about getting manipulated by the media. No big deal, just commenting.

Love me some Byrds !!!
-
The recorded version in "Best Hits" is somewhat more speeded up.
-
Cool.
-
@iamkwk I doubt this was taped in front of a live audience--the screams/crowd sounds are canned to liven up the lipsynced performance of this studio recorded album cut.
-
@Vesnicie You have no idea how much I can relate to your comment! Gene Clark is just......amaizing!!!
-
@iamkwk Speaking as an empty-headed girl, I would just like to point out to you the importance of Gene Clark's lips, cheekbones and eyes.

The words were written by Welsh poet (and erstwhile coal miner) Idris Davies in 1926 in response to the failed 1926 general strike by the miners in Wales and England. While there were lots of mining disasters in Wales, there were none in 1926. in fact, I believe that from 1921 to 1937 there were no mining disasters in that part of Wales. This is a great song. Too bad those empty headed girls couldn't see(or hear) the importance of this song.
