Absolutely one of the greatest, most underrated guitarists ever! Thank you for sharing this!

Re open it as a steam railway like the bluebell or Kent and East Sussex

Listen to the cover of Golden Earring.

The man, the legend! This song never gets old!!😎

Thank you Roger! One of your best even all these years!!

I love

👏👏👏👏👏

Every day from 1957 to 1962 I would have a steam train ride from Groombridge to East Grinstead to go to the Grammar school and back again of course. Many thanks for the memories from Vancouver, Canada

Whatever McGuinn earns from this it is not enough.

Excellent

Just madness how we closed lines back then ☹️ How we’d need it back now especially with the roads being congested and the price of fuel not too mention more houses being built 🤔 They should of just mothballed it 👍🏻

Beautiful 7 - string guitar; played one of his a few years ago.

that 7-string is towards the breadth of a nylon (classical), W's optionillie Nelson

Let's hope that this line will one day be open and linked to Bluebell somehow?

RIP Andrew Dawson

Always reinventing and/or adapting to the situation. He must be a humble soul, considering his daunting talent. He seems always more interested in learning than repeating the past.

excellent video this would have been an railway now, it upsets me when i see footage of what it is like now

excellent shots👍 i am disgusted that these stations once were running ok have now disappeared or in ruins that's not a way to treat a railway it needs to be looked after we want people on trains not on roads 😡bring it back like it use to be there was nothing wrong with it it's just mindless vandalism

It happened in australia as well in the 1950s the busselton to flinders bay Closed in 1957 altho it was only freight everything went on the roads People were buying automobiles Family type 4seaters Roads deaths increased dramatically No seats belts then!

Stranger than known. No warmth to be found ........ I love the '60's.

This station of uckfield has since been restored and been brought back into operations but for eridge station it’s now a heritage line station

excelente guitarrista

I suspect that the reason the level crossing was retained and the station not relocated onto the other side of the road sooner, was in the hope that the line to Lewes would at some point be reinstated. Opening the new station was in some ways an admission of defeat there. I hope not, I'd still like to see the Lewes section re-open in my lifetime (it's probably unrealistic that any other closed branch lines in the area will), although they'd have to join it to the Plumpton/Cooksbridge line at the Lewes end now. Until sections of the line were singled, trains had still been using "arrival" (the old southbound) and "departure" platforms at Uckfield, with trains using the headshunt beyond the station.

Hmm. I think he should have definitely done what Dylan did after Hendrix released All Along the Watchtower. And that's incorporate the improvements which the later cover instigated. The Turtles version of this McGuinn & Gene Clark tune improves everything that was going on in the early Byrds demo and in this live performance. The tempo, mood and superior enhanced chord structure the Turtles employed is definitive for me.

Not "PRIVATE LAND" dick. 😆

4:20 dog on platform

Talent..! Cool..!

his rendition is so much better than mine lol

amazing musician.

Superbe.

Such a shame that these lines weren't just "mothballed" instead of closing them down. I'm sure that they would be very useful today for carrying freight and/or passengers.

Where is/was red gate? I've just found it on a census

The intro sounds a little like a rip off from the Doors Spanish Caravan

Why can't these old railway lines be new cycle routes and or public right of ways where practical? It seems such a, shame to allow them to vanish with time when they played a key role in shaping the future of Britain at the time.

гений!

He and Gene wrote this and gave to Turtles who made it a huge hit...what talent

To create such s beautiful melody and play such amazing music from your guitar’s soul...heaven in earth

He wrote this for The Byrd’s ... it’s one of the best songs of the 60s... I prefer the original way it was sung and recorded

a jaunty hat, a double G string, a great voice. What more can a person want?

Roger plays no bar chords i have noticed.

As a youngster I used to enjoy exploring disused railways on my bike (there are plenty of them in Kent and Sussex). I thought I was a bit of a nerd doing this and therefore didn’t tell my friends as I thought I would be teased about it however with the advent of the internet and KZbin it seems I am not alone in this hobby!! I think there must be scope now for re-opening some of these lines as there is greater demand with a larger population, road traffic congestion, ever more draconian parking restrictions, speed cameras and motoring taxes etc - I think those vandals Beeching and Marples have a lot to answer for - they could have at least shown some foresight and preserved track beds, bridges and tunnels for future use and prevented building on the old lines. For example it was very poor planning to allow Sainsbury’s to block the Tunbridge wells west- to TW central line. If that didn’t happen then we could have had scope to reopen Eridge - T/Wells and Uckfield - Lewis and then could have had a fast rail service from Tonbridge to Brighton and Eastbourne instead of the current painfully slow bus service and expensive parking in the coastal towns

Everyone I have started a go fund me account to raise money to reopen the line check it out at Go Fund Me

Usual sad story of a Beeching Axed line, but it wasn't for him we wouldn't have all those heritage railways and evocative cycle paths!

Mayfield Train Station ended up being sold for residential development and we have been very lucky to be given the opportunity to market the extended ticket hall for sale www.knightfrank.co.uk/properties/residential/for-sale/station-approach-mayfield-east-sussex-tn20/tnw180279

So creepy where the trees have grown and where the trackbeds were. Only hearing the birds and creatures

found both ends of the tunnel !!!

Thumbs down? Laughable.

WOW!

Very interesting and well put together. What amazes me is tunnels WITHOUT overkill fencing at each end.

Criminal that this line was closed and so recently as well. What a bonus it would be to the committing public of East Sussex today !!!
