One Amazing band.....

Mr. McGuinn was, and still is a mesmerizing performer! God rest brilliant guitarist Clarence White - sooo tasty. Clarence's telecaster and McGuinn's Rickenbacker are tonal wet dream.

VIVA LOS BYRDS!

Somehow, you all miss mentioning the man who was the key to The Byrds in all incarnations, Roger McGuinn. Without him there woulld never have been a Byrds, and without him, their distinctive lead voice and guitar would have been absent.

i played rr for 30 years backing up 4 tops ben e king drifters and too many too count i loved the original byrds and i still do but these people who say these renditions are bad!!!??who are you some sixteen year old kids with a guitar who read a music theory book?you dont question what real musicians do----

Sounds way better live.

RIP Clarence White. You're Bender Tele was the best and your sorely missed by many. Great collection of this incarnation of the Byrds, they were always good and the different versions of the band just rejuvenated they're greatness IMHO.

@MikeMikeyYo the hell does that mean?

[THEScottCampbell]

WEIRD! DID THEY PLAY IT IN "E" AND TRANSPOSE TO THE ORIGINAL "D" AT THE SOLO? THIS WAS McGUINN'S GREATEST BAND, HILLMAN'S GREAT BASS PLAYING AND CROSBY'S BACKUP SINGING NOTWITHSTANDING. What an AMAZING medley!!!!!!!!!

Never heard anyone playing more beautiful than Clarence White. Seen them once playing, more than 40 years ago and still missing them since.

@theonlyantony the drummer is excellenty......but they were more into a personalized hjppy feel.......not going for the trance affect.....just being themselves.

@MrBEB123 the newer lineup were better musicians but probably too good to get the trance effect of these songs.......yet there is a certain merit to the funkiness they brought to the songs.
