This is 1959, an unaired pilot filmed in color. Sid said it was too wild for California... da nerve!!!

Giving you a pager number

I'm a big fan of the Byrds, although i have to say, the Beatles are my favourite band, and are the greatest artists ever. I always thought that Roger Mcguinn and David Crosby were the main driving force for the Byrds, and in a way they were, especially with Mcguinn, who was there to the end. Untitled/Unissued and Notorious Byrd Brothers are my favourite Byrds albums. They are the ones i listen to the most. I still like their first 2 albums, Mr Tambourine Man and Turn, Turn, Turn. It was through going back to these albums, after listening to Untitled, Notorious and Younger Than Yesterday so much, that i found it was Gene Clark who was the main songwriter during those early albums. He was coming up with songs like I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better, Here Without You, I Knew I'd Want You, Set You Free This Time, The World Turns All Around Her, If You're Gone, She Don't Care About Time, and the songs he was co-writing with Mcguinn. He was also the main songwriter with Eight Miles High, a 💯 classic track. It was through listening to the Byrds first 2 albums, and in particular, the Gene Clark penned songs, that i found out more about him. I got some of his albums, Gene Sings For You, Echoes, White Light and No Other. I also got a couple of Dillard and Clark albums, but i just couldn't get into those. Gene Clark's solo albums have some incredible work on them. I think the Echoes album(Gene Clark and the Gosdin Brothers, plus some other tracks) is a great example of first solo work and should have found more success, critical and commercial, than it did. His album White Light is for me his best album, and i was so glad that none other than Bob Dylan had said something like "Gene Clark intrigues me more and more" and he had really praised the track, For A Spanish Guitar. High praise coming from Dylan, who isn't really known for dishing out compliments, especially with contemporary artists, who Gene Clark was at that time. David Crosby is really well known, first for his work with The Byrds, then Crosby, Stills and Nash + sometimes C,S,N&Y. Roger Mcguinn, obviously through all the genre's and line ups with the Byrds, his solo work and also his work with Dylan. I'm so glad that Gene Clark is getting the same recognition.

Jumpin around at the end thinkin, 'What we just did was fuckin great!' ...cause it was.

this is what you could have won

The best white interpretation of Chuck Berry !

Odds are ... He won't Live to see Tomorrow ! 🇺🇸 ♦️

This is cool, makes me wanna dance

Chris was in his element on Slow Death. He was...is a great mimic; he could be anyone. Slow Death should have charted and been in the top 20 in the states.

Awesomeness💝

RIP Randy😢😥

"Rock and roll is still a living tradition for many US bands, who love rock for itself, like we love truffles in the Périgord (nb. region of France). Here's one of the best of these groups, Flaming Groovies, coming from SF in a hit of Chuck Berry, Little Queenie, and their own composition, purely in the great tradition, a piece called Slow Death"

Jeez, the peeps running this show couldn't have at least put up some mic stands to help the believability just a bit?

I use to listen to this driving when the FBI kept following me around

Saw them live at their peak. They were not great musicians, but their punk, glam, tongue-in-cheek, camp sensibility were so much fun. It was meta-garage music: a winking, knowing, "let's push this a bit farther. Let's not just be a garage band; let's take every naive ingredient of garage band music and make that our whole foundation." The result: two fun albums, some really great early performances, and an influence that continues to this day.

insane performance ! love it sooooo much !

❤❤the best band ❤❤

Love that music eversince! That hair and fashion!💎 M,55 ,🇩🇪

🤟🏻Niagara Falls, Frankie 🥴🥲

I have been a fan for a long long time!

Chris Hillman has survived 'till today; as should have Gene Clark.

The whoops!

Blonde guitarist is heavy in the trousers...

The tv show theme song!

Imagine you heard/saw a young music group playing music like this now. It would blow everyones mind. There is no reason why it couldn't happen. I heard The Byrds in 1965 as a young teenager and it still blows my mind how great they are. Then it was one wonderful new song after another every day for years. Get busy kids....

Best vocals by 3DN on Eli’s coming yet. My favorite song of theirs evoking so much emotion ❣🙏🎼🎸🎹🌟

Who else needs a Recees Cup after watching this?

Paperbag Writer, I had to sing it

Theres about 6 people up front that get it.

These guys are True Rockers

Man The Magnificent Dr. Momus A. Morgus could've been a Saturday Morning star if Hanna-Barbera and the Krofft brothers create a syndicated hour of mystery cartoons with Morgus as the host and Eric as his co-host, and the line up would consisted of; Snooper And Blabber, Scooby-Doo, The Funky Phantom, Josie And The Pussycats, Hong Kong Phooey, and of course Muttley Mutt's big brother Mumbly Mutt and for the live action suspense there's Dr. Shrinker.

I like the original singer better

Вещь !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I recall this playing on the radio (AM) in the 1960s. Very popular tune at the time.

Aren't Electric Guitars supposed to be plugged into an amp?

Our answer to Britain's Beatles, and they did a hell of a job .....

There's a man who leads a life of danger. To everyone he meets he stays a stranger. With every move he makes another chance he takes. Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow. Secret Agent Man Secret Agent Man They've given you a number and taken away your name. Beware of pretty faces that you find. A pretty face can hide an evil mind. Oh, be careful what you say, Or you will give yourself away. Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow. X 2 Swinging on the Riviera one day And then lying in a Bombay alley next day. Oh, don't you let the wrong words slip, While kissing persuasive lips. Odds are you won't live to see tomorrow. Secret Agent Man

Got to say im a byrds die hard fans.just love the 12 string rickie.😂
