I read an interview with Roger recently, in which he stated that he had practiced playing his Rickenbacker EIGHT hours a day for two solid years prior to becoming famous! Fame like that was no accident and talent was only half the picture -- years of yard work were the key to success in music back in the days when it was still real.

rog is just fine here. but the albums he made with these chumps... well as robert christgau said in his review of the record "Roger McGuinn and Band": and band's songs. D-

Yeah...The bass line in the original Byrd's version is ROCKIN

The bass player is Steve Love. Also played bass on Garden Party with Rivk Nelson & The Stone Canyon Band.

What a fine tune, but I still prefer the Hookfoot version, the best ever!

Roger is undoubtedly the most under ra ted R&R star of all time. A genius !
-
I love it!!!

Can anyone find the Patty Smyth version? Limewire and Frostwire don't have it. Even though they used to.

this song, it is so hard to get the flowing rhythm right, and Im sure it was frustrating for this particular time frame to play with such lower unknowledgable musicians as Roger had then.....hillmans bass parts for this are so missed, this bassist hasnt a clue, probably thought , ah two chords back and forth, no problem, I loved Hillmans work on it, and instead of trying copy hillman skip battin did his own, the incarnation of white parsons battin INTERPRET music with McGuinn so sweet
long live the Byrds

This version to me sounds much better than the original studio version of this song. This version really kicks some serious ass.
