I was 15 years old, and shared your love for the 12 string sound. I couldn't afford a Rick 360 for our band. So I settled for a Univox Coily U1825. But because of Jim McGuinn, years later, and still today, I play my Rick 360/12 and still love that sound. I wonder if McGuinn knows how many people that he influenced?

There is an interesting story about how Roger (Jim) McGuinn achieved his Rickenbacker sound. When The Byrds were recording initially the studio put compression in McGuinn's guitar to protect their recording equipment as recording rock music was in it's infancy. The compression punched up the sound of the Rickenbacker so I believe that McGwinn started using compression all of the time. Also at the advice of Paul Kantner (Jefferson Airplane), he also ran the guitar through treble booster. Rickenbacker actually issued a Roger McGwinn Rickenbacker guitar with compression and tremble boost built into the guitar. True story.

[@flautalee3090]

What is compression?😮Ty.

Compression reduces the volume spikes to keep all the sound levels "compressed" for an instrument, as the powerful signals of the electric guitar could fry older equipment.​@@flautalee3090

The guys were on one side of the dance floor and the ladies on the other. I always had my eyes on the most beautiful one and sprinted over to extend my hand to her. I danced every one with her. The final dance was to the #1 song on AM radio. The Byrds “Turn, Turn, Turn” on 96.3 KHJ boss radio Los Ángeles. I just locked onto her eyes and was in a trance with her. We won the dance contest. However, I can’t dance at all. It was all her ~56 years ago. Thanks for putting up with me. At the Whiskey on Sunset it was The Byrds, Love and The Doors. I was fortunate to see all three.

This is about humanity and the world in general, far far more than just Vietnam. I was a teen when The Byrds released this song, and there was a lot more happening in 1965 than America's increasing military invasion of that poor country.

My father was a young man drafted into an unjust war just like everyone else who went back then. My point wasn’t what this song was about. It’s a memory I’ll carry forever, the first time hearing it. And what “more was happening “ in 1965? Civil unrest? Racism? Division? The same people who forced young men and women to fight an unjust war are the same people behind all of that as well. Same story , just like today. So go protest somewhere it’s needed.

I would have to disagree wiht you my friend. The Bryds really took inspiration from the Dylan! His first (half)electric album "Bringing It All Back Home" was released in march of 65. The Byrds Released their album "Mr. Tamborine Man" (of which Turn, Turn, Turn is on) in June of 65. the Byrds covered the Dylan song "Mr. Tamborine Man", and even named their album after it! Dylan went electric and they all followed. The Byrds were all former folk singers after all. And this unique guitar sound was actually the Rickenbacher 12-string of which they took inspiration from George Harrison of the Beatles.

[@thomasrobinson182]

@@zk6642 Actually, the group began working on a folk-rock fusion in 1964. The 'Mr. Tambourine Man' recording session happened January 15, 1965. The Dylan album came out two months later.

Although I am also aware that they came from very difficult contexts, what they produced (including music, of course) from the 50s to the 80s was the best there was in the contemporary age, and nothing else will ever be able to surpass it. I listen to this song and all that reflection that we will never be able to recover beauty comes to mind. At the same time, the videos and photos of that time fascinate me because they make me curious and amazed at how life really was at that time. It is difficult for me because I don't have any friends who share or even understand the level of emotion that listening to music from that time causes me.

The Byrd's is one of the best bands in the 60s. This song is a masterpiece. The word as so true also in this time. May rest in peace: David Cosby. Best music never dies. Thank you: The Byrd's. Thank's for sharing this brillant perfomence.

It was the greatest era for music. There was a vibe that, as Leonard Cohen said, and Buffy St. Marie sang so well that God was alive, and magic was afoot

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!!!

They read the lyrics (originally from the Book of Ecclesiastes) at Queen Elizabeth II 's Service of Thanksgiving at St. Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Scotland today. She would have been 29 when the Byrds played it on the Ed Sullivan Show .
