Clarence's tone is as varied and polymorphous as ever, Roger puts the Rick through all sorts of shite, and I can even take the bass soloing. Although it does seem like Clarence's amp is missing for half of Bayou. Can't always be perfect. That's what made this version of the band so fun.JimmADerbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13331334978761537408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-660808341284783109.post-56255390609907240512016-03-18T05:20:32.252+03:002016-03-18T05:20:32.252+03:00The later Byrds experienced a complete reversal of...The later Byrds experienced a complete reversal of the circumstances that had marked the original lineup. The more staid and mediocre their studio records got, the better their live shows became. Unless someone has high quality tapes of the original Byrds in action (besides their Monterrey appearance), this is probably the last live document we really need from these guys. One thing's for sure: I'll take this era of the Byrds over the "Band" any day. Roger's 1000 times more legitimate and likable than J.R. Robertson will ever be.
