McGuinn, Clark & Hillman - Don't You Write Her Off

[@douglasdegraff8335]

Probably one of the Best Albums at the end of the 70's. Wow!!!

[@StevenColeman-g5u]

What a great tune amazing harmony ❤️🧡💜💛❤️🧡💜🌞🌜🌟🌎🙏🌸🌼🌴🌳☺️💕

[@StevenColeman-g5u]

Gene was the coolest hippy ever💜🧡❤️💛💜🧡❤️🌞🌜🌟🌎🙏🌸🌼🌴🌳☺️💕

[@semmcstevenson]

The guitar player green shirt dancing around was clearly doing the good 70’s Coke. Ha ha

[@CountryRock2U]

Lead guitar is John (Johnne) Sambataro. He was/is playing with Dave Mason.

[@artharris2537]

Thanks for posting this - haven't seen it since it wast broadcast.

[@FMHammyJ]

ahhh......back to the days of intelligible lyrics, catchy hook, melody. and harmony vocals.....played by talented musicians playing real instruments.....what the hell happened to pop music?......I'm getting old I guess.....

[@CJARCHIVES]

My station later played "Skate Date" whether or not it was supposed to be the next single LOL

[@robbrown6934]

McGuinn the other guy and Hillman😇

[@ccryder6605]

Rob Brown Yeah - "the other guy"- lol! 😍💘♏

[@warrenvarker]

I heard that Gene Clark couldn't even stand to be in the same room with (big mouth) David Crosby, another possible explanation for his absence

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Who could?

[@harmonica74]

a young bill bailey on elec guitar

[@beancooper9]

That would be Johnne Sambataro , who played latterly with Dave Mason

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Silly song must be mcguinn's. Dont u write her off like that, shes a real fine lady hahaha Gene looks good as always

[@Walt-w3q]

David Crosby's involvement was NOT sought...

[@marcbolan1818]

Uh...Crosby was not wanted.

[@ccryder6605]

Gene enjoying himself here - love it!

[@roydownes2458]

remember hearing this on the radio, and liking it a lot.

[@fanmaxis3004]

Da fuk, I thought this was a Tom Petty song the whole time!

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Gene is a fancy dancer here. Love it. Still this is a silly song

[@jimgardner1569]

A nice simple tune but very enjoyable. I've been a fan since their days with the Byrds. I saw Roger McGuinn perform about four years ago.

[@dennisdemark8151]

Enjoy this video very much... especially seeing Roger, Gene and Chris performing here in early 1979. The Byrds FOREVERMORE 🎼🎤🎶🎶🎸🎸🎸🎸🥁

[@beancooper9]

as it's obviously in the BBC Old Grey Whistle Test studio , it seems unlikely that it was recorded in Austin , Texas

[@shoobedoowap]

yeah... I miss the days when a straight man could consider displaying a rainbow...

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Hey yo

[@JeansWebbTv]

Go for it.

[@ozarkdem]

Gorgeous Gene Clark. A genius in his time.

[@ЕленаГуцу-и1х]

Gene Clark is a genius of not only his time. He was much ahead of his time.

[@80sVidLover]

Happy birthday (4DEC) Chris Hillman 😃

[@bettersoccermorefun]

They had three, sorta, albums. After M,C&H they had "City" featuring Clark who was on his way out and finally McGuinn & Hillman. I think the last just filled out their contractual obligations. Saw them in DC sans Clark.

[@bobdavis4848]

Right. The info at :38 is incorrect.

[@MarigoldThyme]

Gene Clark forever!💖

[@maryhill1102]

Saw Roger McCain live in the 80, maybe 1981. Fell in love with this Tune.

[@80sVidLover]

Whatever happened to fun music like this?

[@howie14w]

Hillman had just done two really nice solo albums right before this collaboration.

[@nyrichiek]

Drummer is Poco's George Grantham.

[@bryanpalmer9660]

Have the 45--stil enjoying it in 2021

[@maryhill1102]

Thanks. This is fabulous. I'm at work and said to myself "Don't you write her off" and it came to me. Had to hear it. A favorite of mine for over 30 years.

[@lastnamefirst4035]

Tom Waits!!!

[@georgessiam378]

Still great sung after all this years !

[@SuperTimbo48]

From the BBC's Old Grey Whistle Test I presume?

[@peterlindner3283]

At the end, the background says “old Grey whistle test”

[@richshyrigh1331]

Wow I had this 8 track! Awesome.

[@incorporealnuance]

This is real good, really catchy. First heard it on the Crap From the Past radio show and liked it ever since.

[@rocker53zero]

Chris Hillman seems to pop up everywhere. He seems to have left his Nudie suit at home this time.

[@screendude69]

Thank you for reposting this EXCELLENT video and song. I don't know what happened to your original posting but I appreciate you doing this again. One question - at the end of this video is a clip of Tom Waits. What was that from? One more question - would you PLEASE post the Tom Waits video? Again, thank you. Peace.

[@hermanschwartz2705]

Not nearly as good as 'Surrender To Me.' Or as memorable. Good, nonetheless. The studio version sounds much better. Must be that freebasing.

[@k12sdude]

I still have the original cassette tape from 1979.

[@hotajax]

I still have the tape I used to steal the whole album off the air. When I was in the Navy stationed in VA Beach, the local rado station would play an entire album once a week. This brings back big memories. Very cool of you to post it, thank you.

[@macaibhistin]

Great footage! I had no idea they put an album out as a trio. Whose on the electric guitar here?

[@ufohead1]

some of my heroes in a dorky phase. nice ditty !

[@DaveWollenberg]

Too bad they couldn't release it as a Byrds song.

[@jamescobern4102]

The other reason David Crosby wasnt invited for this semi-byrds reunion was that Gene Clark couldnt stand to be in the same room with crosby.

[@lastnamefirst4035]

McGuinn didnt get along w crosby at all. Hillman always a bit evasive when asked about anyone. Gene never talked bad about anyone in an interview. Privately sure it was different

[@southvaron757]

But the "Little Fat Guy", did make Gene even more attractive to all of the ladies, while performing. When that Byrds lineup was still together; I was always hoping Gene would crown him with that tambourine, then finish the song playing his guitar... and they would pro-ba-bly feel a whole lot better with him go-o-on.

[@ccryder6605]

SouthVa Ron - I just lol'd at your comment!

[@kvalois]

Excellent!

[@ROCKSTARCRANE]

Scott Kirkpatrick was a way better drummer.....

[@ladykws]

What a tune!

[@garymaher]

Guest appearance by Tom Waits?

[@garymeyer6414]

Anyone know where I can find (and purchase) the recorded version of this song by Chris Hillman & Herb Pederson? I've seached iTunes and Amazon without any luck.

[@rickray3174]

It's called Chris Hillman "Bidin' My Time"

[@monkeytrousers]

Who is the hammy Crosby look-alike guitarist? Guy is hillarious.

[@beancooper9]

Johnne Sambataro.... with M,C,H for 8 years then went on to play with Dave Mason's band for even longer - 2001 onwards

[@MinstrelOnTheRun]

The fringe outfit he's wearing in this performance really seems like a Crosby troll, lol

[@MinstrelOnTheRun]

​@@beancooper9 Thanks for the info, didn't know he had such long-standing affiliations!

[@BarryHawk]

Who's the fringy goon?

[@warrenvarker]

probably a session musician

[@MrRhmccabe]

Joe Sambertero I think,was on the record.
