The Byrds LIVE 1965

The Byrds perform three songs live on a tv show.

[@mikeymutual5489]

"The Byrds perform three songs live on a tv show." Wow, that's so helpful! After five minutes of research, I found that it was from a broadcast of the "Big T NT Show," a concert film taped in Los Angeles in November of 1965.

[@Daveman712]

Saw The Byrds, summer 68 or 69, right before Sweetheart of the Rodeo lp was released at Forest Lawn theater in Dallas. No Crosby or Gene Clark, but Gram Parsons was in the band. Did all the hits, plus some SotR songs. Great concert, maybe a 100 people attended. Floor seats. about 20 ft from the stage. Great, intimate concert!! Wished I had good camera back then.

[@CraigsListofVideos]

RIP to David Crosby and David McCallum, two remarkable people with amazing talent and class who entertained us for nearly seven decades. Those of us in our teens in the mid-sixties will remember the stellar performances of these two, McCallum amazing “hot” actor in The Man From U.N.C.L.E and Crosby contributing silky smooth harmonies in The Byrds, equally “hot”, with hits like Turn! Turn! Turn!, Mr Tambourine Man and Eight Miles High. In recent years, both were still were equally popular, Ducky in NCIS and in Crosby in CSN and solo performances. Interestingly, McCallum passed away six months after Crosby in 2023. RIP. Thanks for the great memories!

The boot to which you made reference was recorded at none other than the legendary Golden Bear (RIP) - a late, great establishment that I closed on many a night in my misspent 1970's South Bay LA youth. There's also a four song clip - that's still relatively new to YT - of the boys at a KHJ Hollywood Bowl event in '67. A great rendition of 'Nowadays Clancy' ... which was actually a regional radio hit for them in LA - and also FWIW. I was blessed to catch Richie, Neil and Stephen reunited at one of Neil's annual Bridge School Benefit shows more than a decade ago. They opened with 'On The Way Home' and - I kid you not - 45 years' distance slipped away like nothing at all. It was uncanny how in sync they were after decades apart. It was a soaring celebration of their history together but it was also an impossible - to - miss reminder of all that could've been.

[@toneyburkhart3278]

Boy did I love The Birds! Here is a little story I think you will love. Back in 1966 my uncle Nelson Burkhart had 6 acts come to play at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, TN. The Birds were one of the acts. All the girls went wild about them and when they got off stage they all ran over to touch them and Roger McGuinn got his sun glasses knocked off and I ran over to grab them before someone stepped on them. I took them over to my uncle and asked him after they went back stage if I can taken them and give them back to Roger McGuinn. He said yes, but come right back. When I went back and saw Roger and said here is your sun glasses, he then said OH you can keep them! I then asked him to please take them, they look so good on you and you will need the. Then he said and called out to one of the band members, Hay John can you bring over my old fiddle case. He then opened it up and inside was rolls of sunglasses that all had the same rectangle shape, but in different colors of glass. I went wow! And Roger McGuinn told me I have a lot and they get lost a lot when we are out on the road doing shows. So, go ahead and keep them. I then asked him where he got all of them from and he told me that one of his old best friends from High School is now an Optometrist and I have him make them up for me, so I do not run out. So, I had to get going and I took the sunglasses with me and hid them in my pocket so that these girs would not see the. After the concert was over my uncle drove me home. I was thinking that I should use them one day when I go to school and look real cool. I was setting on the couch and my father knocked on the front door and I layed them on the couch and jumped up and open the door for my father. He came in and asked if I had a good day with his brother and I said I sure did. Then he said I am going to take shower now and he went off and with out looking I fell back onto the couch and sat on top of the sunglasses and broke them. Oh Man was I upset as I did not see that they ever could be fixed, so I junked them. Now looking back that was a big mistake. It would be like junking Buddy Holly glasses or Roy Orbison sunglasses. Hope you enjoyed my little story. Regards and Keep on Rocking to our great musical past. :)

The second best 60s band? I don't think we need to argue about number 1. To my mind The Byrds were constantly developing, up there with The Beatles and The Beach Boys. Roger is a hero, had the pleasure of seeing his solo show in my home town twice. They were all amazing but Gene just had the charisma and the songs. And the cheekbones! He should have been a huge solo star.

Thanks for posting. One of the best performances of the Byrds, especially this song.

It’s easy to see why they are considered one of the best bands of the time. Also, I love that Bells Of Rhymney was one of the three songs included here. It’s one of my favorites from their first album. They muffed the ending, which on the recorded version is almost majestic, but still, it was not bad overall.

[@rogerbyroncollins7204]

l am now a young 75 and as a teen through the1960s I enjoyed the London club scene big time and all my pals thought The Byrds outstripped the likes of The Beatles and The Stones by miles! Hanging on the wall in my studio, in a place of honour since 1965 after I obtained it during my first visit to Arlington Virginia is an album cover containing a vinyl LP of Mr Tambourine Man signed by the entire group which I treasure to this day. When I met Mick Jagger in Mustique in 1988, as we both shared the same Italian architect Mario Spinella, when we built our villas on Mustique and St Vincent I showed him the signed LP which he would have bought at any price, but was not for sale and remains priceless to this day. At least then I got Mick to sing at my Norwegian wife's 40th Birthday party celebration's in January 1989 on Basils Bar in Mustique and Ringo Star and Barbara Bach turned up so a great party that finished at 8 am the following morning! I still listen to the Byrds at least 2 or 3 times a week. They were then and to this day remain the best Folk Rock group EVER!!!

[@jeffg1524]

They were arguably the only American group in the mid-60's that could challenge the best British Invasion bands on equal footing. The fact they produced consistently high quality albums throughout the 60's while going through dramatic personnel changes (losing principal songwriter Gene Clark early, then David Crosby), makes their musical contribution that much more remarkable. I was born and raised in metro Detroit, Michigan, USA, so have a sweet spot for Motown music of the era, but love the Byrds. I agree that they remain the greatest Folk Rock group in history.

Wonder what Mike said under his breath after Roger or Gene's vocal wipeout during end of "Rhymney". Otherwise this clip dispels whatever was said about the group being ramshackle live. Except for that 1 or 2 secs the group was powerfully on point. The Monterey Pop segment was pretty tight except for one tune where Mike turns the beat upside down. Mcguinn would start playing a six string hollow body Gretsch onstage which he would use during a late 67 Winterland show once Crosby was gone before Gene returned albeit briefly. Here the group are aggressively cogent as a trio. Hope that show is still up. Of course after this Gram,Clarence White, Nashville West would become Byrds. All cool I'm just saying there's not a ton of live stuff from the original quintet or quartet. Umm 67 Swedish radio live broadcast pretty great as well!🎼☕👁️

Television studios at this time were fairly archaic for recording live performances, particularly rock music. I'm not sure if there were stage monitors at that time for vocalists to hear themselves. I don't think they had any mic placements on the drums, they were just picked up by the other mics in the studio so they sound flat. And the bass sounds really thin. Of course Hillman and Clarke were still learning how to play their instruments but the poor recording doesn't help them. That said, it's still their overall sound that works and the musical wizardry of Roger McGuinn (the lead break on Turn is amazing). He was the defining sound (vocal and Ric 12 string) of that group at that time and who really carried their live performance.

I have long heard that they were not a very good live band and that McGuinn was so much happier with the Clarence White band. Well, I don't entirely disagree. There are lots of problems with this performance and I'm pretty sure it's not just the recording. I hear off-key vocals and I think some sloppy drumming. None the less, I love this and would love to hear more. All the other original band bootlegs I've heard are so poorly recorded, it's nearly impossible to tell if they're any good or not. So, I'm very happy to hear this. Thanks!

[@steveturner2763]

Actually, they were not a good live band; The Doors on the other hand, were a great live band because they did all their songs in the studio virtually live and were studio- quality musicians. The other contemporary equivalent band would be Led Zeppelin. The Byrds with the exception of McGuinn, used the Wrecking Crew to record their music in the recording studio (outside of the vocals).

[@Mr22thou]

@@steveturner2763 Not to argue, but I believe it's been pretty well established that with the exception of "Mr. Tamborine Man" and "The Notorious Byrd Brothers" LP, this line up of the Byrds did record their own songs with little outside help. Of course, Hugh Masekela did the trumpet solos on "So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star" and "Lady Friend." That isn't the only exception, but that Wrecking Crew story is largely false.
