i wish mcguinn was still performing here like he did in 1965 with the bulging eyes, blank expressions, grimaces and creepy smiles.

@bobbilse You know, I don't make this shit up. I was merely repeating what CHRIS HIMSELF SAID in an interview. If the man said he was younger than everyone else & scared to death, I take him at his word. With the exception of Mike Clarke, compared to everyone else, most especially Roger who had been a professional musician for many years, Chris's experience in the music industry was relatively limited. Perhaps that is the genesis of his comment regarding his youth compared to the others.

It's nice to see someone like yourself who is such an expert on rock music. So what he flubs 1 note-Gene's singing is magical!!!

Gene was quite a madman whole his life, drinking a lot but released heavily talented but unsuccesful solo albums. He died 1991 (heart attack), just some months after Byrds was taken in to Hall of Fame.

Hi time for another Byrds reunion!
-
@desertswo - The Byrds' were, listed by age, David Crosby-8/14/41, Jim/Roger McGuinn-7/13/42, Gene Clark-11/17/44, Chris Hillman-12/4/44, and Mike Clarke-6/3/46.
Chris was NOT far younger than the rest of the band (only separated from Gene Clark by 17 days); he wasn't even the youngest member...nor was he scared to death. He was a bluegrass mandolin player who got hired because Crosby couldn't handle bass and singing at the same time; not scared, just careful. He was the "new kid".

Chris's shyness was one of the things I always thought was very appealing about him.I've enjoyed everything he's done.

Simply beautiful version! Miss those days....



What a great and distinctive voice Gene Clark had! Wow.

I have to say when Gene solo's, I get goose bumps. Look who's part they harmonize on-gene--just a magical voice.
