Roger McGuinn "King Of The Hill."

[@Paul_Wetor]

One of my favorite songs from that album. One by one, the tracks grew on me until I loved them all.

[@dlphcoracl9645]

Roger McGuinn just drips talent.

[@Onehappyworlds]

Awesome!! Back when music was great. I bought this album at the time & wasn't disappointed. Roger Mguinn & Byrds Forever.

[@davidbutler8850]

One of my favorite solo albums that Rodger McGuinn or Jim ever did in my book 📚

[@ronstewart3208]

John Jorgenson on lead guitar. He has always been one of the best guitarists in America.IMHO

[@garydiamond4001]

Interesting to have the virtuoso John Jorgenson together (at separate times) with both Roger's band & Hillman's fabulous Desert Rose band!

[@Vito_Tuxedo]

@ Ron Stewart - Yeah! I share your admiration of JJ's guitar chops. This is about a year before he formed The Hellecasters with Will Ray and Jerry Donahue. I saw them live in L.A. three times, and had the opportunity to talk with JJ each time. He's an absolute gentleman, genuinely humble, very approachable, and a phenomenal musician. Kudos to you, sir, for calling attention to him. He deserves much more acclaim than he receives.

[@j40bob1]

Who's the bass player.

[@skinzz2573]

Love this song!! Big Stan Lynch on drums!!!

[@paulmoors5725]

Stan on drums awesome 😎

[@deltafour1212]

HOLY SHIT! What a fantastic song! I can't stop listening to this! Why in the HELL wasn't this played on the radio and a number 1 hit?! The people were sleeping on this one. UNFORGIVABLE!

[@garrettward2064]

He and Tom Petty wrote it. Check out their version absolutely amazing with two Rickenbackers and awesomely haunting vocals. Incredible!!

[@TimBurVlogs]

It was all over the place for a time! I remember seeing the video so much on vh1 and hearing it on the radio. I believe it went as high as #2 on the charts.

[@davidbutler8850]

I actually got to see him the same year at the rosebud in Pittsburgh PA... A great moment I just wish I would have took time and got his autograph... I sat 20 ft away from.,

[@matthewworthington6573]

The sound of McGuinn's twelve string Rickenbacker is amazing. Amazing song to showcase that great instrument 🎸

[@taipo101]

OMG 30 years ago still better than some stuff today

[@djross2043]

Icon! Straight from the Canyon. You and Tom wrote a great song that I love playing. TY.

[@roberts1924]

Bought this album when it first came out. This song was the obvious standout, although there are other ones worth hearing.

[@Rockandrollgeerage]

The whole album was great

[@antoniol559]

Agree,the album is full of great songd

[@ronstewart3208]

This album caught some attention and for awhile Roger seemed to be back big time, but it never really took off. Loved this song and the album was good also.

[@claytongoines6788]

+Ron Stewart hes on top now regardless,he was the highest paid musician in the world a couple years ago.seems like forbes had him bringing in 60 million in 2012-2013

[@johnstulpin5634]

I AGREE RON

[@jennifersman7990]

I think Roger just wanted to do things on his own terms and avoid the R’n R grind he had with the Byrds. Since then he’s gotten back into acoustic folk music and computer technology so he does a lot of music online. He still tours occasionally and He’s not lacking for $$$, he bought the rights to all the Byrds music years ago

[@necromaya]

Was lucky enough to see him play this live in Dallas at Dallas Alley, got my CD signed. He was a sweetheart. We talked about the 60's for 20 minutes.

[@madronaway]

This is a great performance of an excellent song!

[@lindamcneill4965]

Such a great great song

[@xenawolf]

We all get Lucky sometimes...

[@Vito_Tuxedo]

Holy Shit! IMO, this is the best-sounding band McGuinn had since The Byrds, not least due to the fact that John Jorgenson is playing lead guitar. JJ played on the _Back From Rio_ album, was in The Byrds' (with David Crosby and Chris Hillman) backup band at the Roy Orbison tribute concert, was center stage in The Hellecasters with Will Ray and Jerry Donahue, and was a co-founder of The Desert Rose band with former Byrd Chris Hillman and Herb Pedersen. This is a truly awesome performance! Thanks for posting!! 😎

[@michaelray9576]

Don't forget, STAN LYNCH formerly of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers on DRUMS...GREAT GROUP!!!

[@samlelowitch]

Loved it.

[@tinymontgomery3831]

Oh wow. Two classics: Carson and McGuinn. Only thing missing is Tom Petty. But only one of them can (almost) pull off that mega-mullet! This is one of my favorite songs, thanks for posting such a great clip.

[@paulhoneycutt905]

As much as I like Roger solo, I'd love to see him with a band again. Especially one as good as this.

[@jennifersman7990]

He did a tour last year with Chris Hillman celebrating the 50th anniversary of Sweetheart of the Rodeo and had Marty Stuart’s band backing them up, it was like hearing the Byrds in ‘69

[@eamonstafford2056]

@@jennifersman7990 That would've been amazing to see and hear.

[@0001highlander]

Better than the album version. And it's great.

[@robertcampbell9251]

The highlight of this video is jazz fan Carson who clearly enjoys this band.

[@martijnvandijk5080]

It looks like Stan Lynch, from the Heartbreakers on drums ,isn't it ?

[@GalloLandiaTV]

+Martijn van Dijk yes !!!

[@richiebassett1284]

I would say it was definitely Stan

[@750drums]

The GREAT Stan Lynch on drums ! Not Howie on bass; it's George Hawkins. He played on the lp, and was in one of the latter Firefall bands.

[@jimcurtis4415]

And he's a foot taller than Howie.

[@NevadaBoss]

Indeed that's Stan the Man. Love Steve Ferrone but Stan will always be the guy I think of as THE HB drummer. Good god how I miss TP already....

[@keeskleinendosrt4416]

what a performer and brilliant in finding his crew

[@fabio6864]

one of my favourite album of ever. Love it

[@donnapelletier5347]

I saw him a couple times at the Shaboo Inn in CT in the 1970s/1980s. Great show !

[@mcbyrds]

+Donna Pelletier I have live show of him from Shaboo Inn.

[@randaj2]

OH! I really loved Shaboo! Thanks for the memory hit!

[@karyluhernandez5966]

Excelente álbum de Roger Mcguinn

[@johnramonas816]

you guys are great exellent 12-string Rickenbacker sounds

[@classicrockstation]

John Jorgenson, great guitarist!

[@spiritov69]

Love it

[@leafamania1]

Carson - McGuinn --- KING’s

[@tmlafrance]

Great song from a genius

[@penguin99ify]

Easily the best song on that album. Carson was a welcome surprise too.

[@tuskedbeast]

I like You Bowed Down better.

[@larrypaul8688]

That's John Jorgenson on lead.

[@stevenl9640]

Nary eight months later Nirvana would explode on the scene and render all mullets to the barbershop floor. Great times.

[@deanbagley3316]

hhjaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa great

[@vladicaradojevic4453]

@Samí Warrior You have a serious health problem, man. But ok.

[@Trainer_Red.....]

@@vladicaradojevic4453 lmao no. He's right. Sorry but Kurt Cobain changed grudge and punk music and he's a legend.

[@vlajkomitrovic7419]

​@@Trainer_Red.....Grunge is something totally different. I love Cobain, but that statment totally sucks and he is right only if we look what adolescents liked better at those days. Kurt is a great tragical figure of rock, but he can't be compared with this or Tom Petty. Two totally different things.

[@rickkilimun5430]

Wish the video with Tom was still on KZbin, but I think it ruffled a few government feathers and they had it pulled

[@thomasrobinson182]

Hope you had a Happy Birthday, Roger.

[@viviandarkbloom100]

Jesus!! Was Johnny Carson a Pro? Sorry it's just a shock to see a grown up Late Night Host.

[@dwilson3711]

JOHNNY was & Still is the best EVER late Night Host!! Bar NONE!!! And OUTRAGEOUSLY Funny!!

[@Vito_Tuxedo]

Johnny Carson was a class act. He understood that making his guests look good was part of the success of his show. He actually listened to what they had to say, rather than lying in wait for opportunities to make snarky comments at their expense just to make himself look better. The universe of late night TV took a dive into hell when Johnny retired, leaving a repository of self-prepossessed twits and smart-ass wannabees who were never in the same league as Johnny. And it's worse now.

[@Slamit88]

Once ALL of those "Untalented Sheeple MORONS" of Late Night "'Went (ALL) Trump"....Their (ALREADY STALE/CRAPPY) Product ='d "BIG DUMP"!!😖🤮

[@michaelmcleod1636]

been looking for that song for a veeeerryy loooong time! thank you soo much for uploading! :) =)

[@mcbyrds]

Very welcome.

[@hbg423]

Awesome,

[@curtisevans4100]

So good ill even forgive the mullet

[@mcbyrds]

Stan Lynch on drums and I believe Howie Epstein on bass.

[@andyinoregon]

My first exposure to John Jorgenson live was a Desert Rose Band concert at Portland's Waterfront Park in the late '80s. His playing was a revelation that day. Made me wanna catch up with his musical career in a hurry. Seriously under-appreciated.

[@JamesWarrenWatts]

Bought the album when it came out. It has 5 or 6 great songs! They impact ed me like nothing else. In fact, IMO, it trumps any Byrds album. Not only that, but the recording, mixing, and mastering are superb! It was nice to see David Crosby and Chris Hillman (Bryd members) on the album. George Hawkins on bass (Kenny Loggins bass player) did a great job. And Stan Lynch, always makes the drums sound perfect for every song.

[@davehogan4040]

John Jorgensen on guitar?

[@ronstewart3208]

+Dave Hogan Yes, I had forgot he played with McGuinns group for a while.

[@karenin666]

nice ,,,,,nice ,,,,nice ,,,,

[@Byrds1967]

I thought John Jorgenson was in Desert Rose Band with Chris Hillman at this time?

[@Vito_Tuxedo]

Yes, but JJ was a busy guy. About a year after this performance, JJ formed The Hellecsters with Will Ray and Jerry Donahue. Desert Rose was still happening behind all of it, from 1987 to 1995.

[@terryl3138]

Genius

[@cityzen2717]

The mullet lives!

[@gvbphan189]

love this song. are there any videos out there with Tom Petty performing this with them?

There is only an audio clip of it but worth it!

[@eamonstafford2056]

There are video clips of Tom playing. I can see them here in Australia but you people (for some ludicrous reason!!) can not view the video in the USA!!! God knows why but that is what I have been told by some good TPATHB fans living the good old USof A

[@dfowler8136]

Yeah that's Stan I believe. He holds the sticks the way Stan does.

[@thomasarmbruster1743]

The toms are set up at the same kind of unusual angle too.

[@melissagerber7231]

Yeah that's Stan.

[@aarond23]

McGuinn and Tom Petty sound exactly the same if you close your eyes

[@edwhite7475]

they sure do-

[@katiezee2]

but Roger is the original

[@edwhite7475]

that doesnt change anything though.

[@dfowler8136]

Tom said many times that Roger was one of his inspirations, and....Tom helped write King of the Hill.

[@melissagerber7231]

That's why Roger joked, "When did I record that?", when he heard American Girl. Tom thought he'd done something wrong, when he was told that Roger Mcguinn wanted to meet him.😁

[@omxsks]

Sounds like Tom Petty. Oh yeh Petty idolized this guy. You can so hear his influence on Petty's music.

[@curragh4635]

tom petty wrote this song

[@keeskleinendosrt4416]

who are tese guys?h

[@chadcrawford1502]

This was on 2-1-2009 and should read 21 or year 2021 or 11-9. The Monday He is talking about is most likely Monday September 6th 2021 Labor Day. The castle He mentioned is the one Trump was knighted in. She refers to mystery babylon LA is referring to The Angels los Angeles California and babylon is asleep to what's really coming. Back from the river and south america is shaped like a tornado whirlwind for a reason

[@katiezee2]

what the heck are you talking about, sounds like your brain is deep fried , dear

[@benzuckerman]

Who is the bass player?

[@oldramon9528]

George Hawkins

[@LSBuddha]

...and while George Hawkins was working on looking cool swaying with his bass, he played the wrong note @ 0.41 and spent the next second searching the fretboard for it...major league amateurish on a simple song...and on national television...and now on youtube forever !

[@Trainer_Red.....]

That boy is right. I tell you hwat

[@gnatbermbaum6102]

Interesting that I have never seen Mcguinn use a barre chord.

[@stratcat72]

He doesn't need them....

[@marcusmoon22]

Have you played a 12-string Rickenbacker? Barre chords would be a bitch, and I'm not sure it would even sound that good. As you know, he always goes for that "jingle-jangle" sound that the 12S Rick provides, and I'm doubting you would get that strumming 12 strings at once. IMHO.

[@deanbagley3316]

and you never will

[@mikesalvadore9295]

That other guitar player kicks some ass

[@TheMooserolls]

Cowrote w Tom Petty, Stan Lynch on 🥁

[@Gelon01]

Is that Roscoe Beck on bass?

[@grahamcharnock400]

Supposedly based on the lifetsyle of Fleetwood Mac.

[@maxmerry8470]

Graham Charnock , It was actually about Papa John Phillips and the daughter who became his drugs-buddy. John's autobiography refers to the "green Gucci bag".

[@vladtheimpaler999]

Love McGuinn but this sounds like he's backed by Dire Straits

[@Naz67]

I don't hear that, but nothing wrong with Dire Straits...love the song

[@mhenry704]

I hear that, too.

[@Vito_Tuxedo]

Wow...that's an interesting observation. I'm not getting Dire Straits vibes off this at all, but I'll have to listen again to see if I can pick that up.

[@richintalent]

Wish the original video was still up... Damn you WMG!!!
