This is a repost of a song by one of the greatest songwriters ever, Mr. Gene Clark.
In my opinion the live version on this video is superior to the one found in the LP

  • Can someone please tell me what album this song is on? Can't find it anywhere!

    Thanks

  • This song is from the first album by McGuinn, Clark & Hillman, which incidentally has that same name, released in 1979.

  • Gene broughts lots of soul to the Byrds.

  • This is from 1978. They played it a lot faster in 1979 ... which makes it sound even better.

    Roger Mcguinn and Gene Clark always seemed to get the best out of each other. No one could arrange a Gene Clark composition better than Roger Mcguinn.

    No, George Grantham of Poco.

  • Is that Michael Clark on Drums?

  • Wonderful stuff.. thank-you for posting this footage :)

    At the time of YTY, I'd say you're quite right there. Crosby's output seemed to vary to extremes, really... the stuff he wrote that didn't get on that and the next album, though ... pretty good. Eventually, he found his way into something more to his speed, and that went well.

    Clark, though ... pure genius!

  • @psychobollox I would rate the order of Byrds songwriters as Clark, McGuinn, Hillman and then Crosby. I wouldn't want to fail to give Crosby some credit though, as he was a great harmony singer with the Byrds and Renaissance Fair was one of my favorite songs on Yonger Than Yesterday. On the other hand, the Crosby penned Mind Gardens was the worst song. Chris Hillman had clearly passed Crosby as a songwriter by the time of YTY.

  • This Version to me is superior to the Album Version, which i feel does not capture the quality of this great song.

  • @boonzo

    That is quite true!

  • @RossM3838

    He sure did! :)
