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!
Yes! Enjoyed your comments. My wife and I watched the new Man from UNCLE last night. The new Russian Illya Kuryakin I thought was excellent, not as good David McCallum. Overall, I thought the 2015 movie was good. I had a different opinion of Armie Hammer who played McCallums part after reading Wikipedia. He’s a strange guy in real life in constant trouble from allegations of abuse, mental & sexual. Reading McCallums he was a decent person off screen as well as on screen. Highly respected.
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.
As a student at UCLA, I saw them twice - at Ciros on the Strip, and as an opening act for the Doors at Whiskey a-Go-Go. And both times it was really "up close." During a period when the Beach Boys, Stones, and Beatles were becoming increasingly successful, it was the Byrds whose music blared thru our dorm halls and got us thru mid-terms and final exams. Sixty years later, they're still the best. Performing original songs by Gene Clark, and covering Bob Dylan songs, their harmonies and electric guitars all make me lament a time gone by.
I saw this lineup in 1965 in Rome, Georgia. I was 16 years ols. I also saw the Beatles at Atlanta Fulton county Stadium in August of 1965.. Good year for concerts.
To me, the three B's are the top of popular music, ever: The Beatles, The Beach Boys and The Byrds. That level of excellence will never be beaten, despite the countless and very valiant efforts....
Make it 4 B's with Buffalo Springfield and you will reach Nirvana! (Neil Young, Steven Stills, Richie Furay and sometimes Jim Messina. A serious super-group! [The rest of the band was great but lesser known.])
@@Mr22thou For decades, Stills and Young have maintained that a big part of the cause of the Springfield's dissolution was the band's frustration at their lack of mastery of the studio process. Stills has always said that even a legendary recording like ....Again - brilliant as it is - could never measure up to their incendiary rave ups during their six week residency at the Whisky.
@@chriscoughlin9289 Way back in the mid '80s I read a book called "San Francisco Nights: The Psychedelic Music Trip, 1965-1968." It was an excellent read about the history of the scene in San Francisco. In it was a brief description of how exciting Buffalo Springfield were on stage. The guitar interplay between Stills and Young and Furay bouncing all over the stage! And Palmer and Martin always there with their solid foundation. Imagine all that with one of those fantastic light shows and maybe a tab of fine acid handed out as you walked in! Unfortunately those magical and innocent days are gone and I doubt there'll be a time machine before my days have ended, but it's a nice fantasy.

@@Mr22thou Thanks for that. 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.
Although I love the Byrds and their first two albums, it's what they did later that I find really inspirational: "Fifth dimension", "Younger than yesterday" and "The notorious Byrd Brothers", when they experimented with Indian music, electronics, dipped their toe into Country, and paved the way for the most forward-thinking music of the 20th century. Then came "Sweetheart of the rodeo" (which is a great album) and a new chapter in their story. But that triplets of albums remains my absolute favourite and as equal as anything their celebrated peers created...
Roger McGuinn is brilliant. He created the whole Byrds sound with the compressor technique and bango style leads. David Crosby also really helped with his smooth invisible harmonies.
@@AnthonyMonaghan no buddy.he said crosbys invisible harmonies.but i like you wanna know the answer to your question as well.cant wait to see this train wreck of an answer if he ever answers you.
"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.
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. :)
Nice story Toney, thanks. But the band's name is The Byrds, not the Birds, The Birds were a British band who had future Stone Ronnie Wood in the line up.
Yes that is true Tony The Birds with Ron Wood tried to sue the Byrds when they went to England but they already had a registered trademark and they weren't there long enough David Crosby played rAVI sHANKAR RECORDS FOR gEORGE HARRISON AND GOT HIM INTERESTED IN SITAR
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.
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 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.
@@Frank-Discussionumm hate to break the news to such a smug, self assured fello, but ponchos are worn OVER THE HEAD and this clearly isn’t. Aww maybe Next time anthoni, keep your erroneous nitwit comments confined to something you know like cartoons and coloring books
So awesome it was actually live and not dubbed. I was only five but my late great older brother was a Byrds fanatic and I grew up listening and totally influenced by them. We often sang and played their songs together such as "Here Without You," "Set You Free This Time" and "8 miles High." So many classics! Still fresh as heck. The Beatles' favorite American band.
You should know there are LOTS of extremely good tv recordings from this period and before. I would go so far to say the Big TNT Show and it predecessor The TAMI Show audio was not the best audio recordings from that period..
Very serious time concerning music. At this time I was also on a Jimy Hendrix concert in Switzerland. We where all around 16 and music was sort of existential important. I went to all concerts and my father was not allowed to use the radio when this music was on air. Only me 🤭
Together, they created a beautiful and majestic Sound. Truly innovative knitting acoustic Folk & electric Rock together at that time! Clark, McGuinn, Crosby, Hillmen all had a good collective schooling in folk/ bluegrass, harmony singing, playing & GC had been practising his songwriter for some years before co-creating The (Beefeaters) Byrds with JMc & DC with MC & CH coming in shortly after to create their rythmn section.
Great classic songs. Bring back many fond memories of good times, good friends, much more carefree times than now. And we got along very well without cell phones and computers. 😀 RIP David MacCallum, Gene Clarke, Mike Clark, Clarence White and David Crosby. There were two other short lived members of the Byrds that also passed away.
Make no mistake, 10 seconds into Tambourine Man we British fans were hooked! 53 years, and 15 albums later I can say that The Byrds were the most influential US band of the sixties, I still put one of their albums on at least once a week. Thanks for uploading this.
I've always loved the Byrds so much too. Much later found The La's. Some on you tube not on album. They won't admit it but influenced by Beatles as well. From Liverpool.
@@Clearwater124 it wasn't a disaster, but it could have gone better ! The press didn't like them and that was crucial , Live they were better than the likes of the Kinks and Them who i saw at the time , but Hillman and Clarke were not then a solid rhythm section, they rectified that in the Burritos but then they had other problems !
Reverent and deliciously jangly guitars define this masterful group. McGuinn and the lot have a catalogue of poignant songs that still remain wildly influential to these very modern days.
@DavidS-vs5mj There were at least two other egos who didn't like it that Gene got royalty money for the great songs that he wrote. The jealousy was misplaced. They didn't realize Gene was a gem and a great centerstage front man. They pushed out their greatest talent.
Thanks for posting. One of the best performances of the Byrds, especially this song. Unlike on the album, Gene's voice comes through loud in the mix, where he shares the lead vocal with McGuinn until he breaks seamlessly into the lower harmony part. The best performance bar none of the Byrds performing Turn, Turn, Turn.
David Mcallum “Man from Uncle” great spy TV show actor introducing a genius folk rock group...the 60s were magical...fantastic rock groups like the Byrds, people were thin and attractive with gorgeous hair and there was great fashion... I was lucky to experience it...the world is now just a boring uncreative place

Roger McGuinn, an American musician, is best known for serving as the Byrds’ frontman and bandleader. The Byrds achieved significant success in the 1960s by fusing traditional folk music with a rock tempo. For his work with the Byrds, McGuinn was also honored with a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. There are countless rock enthusiasts all around the world that adore and laud him.
A ragged performance. They sound like they’re jet lagged or something. BUT...they hit enough high spots to make this video a treasure. When they’re on, the music is breathtaking. 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.
Also if ya dig this song on youtube 😀 you may enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and also read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on UA-cam. 😀
Jan 22nd, 2023 - date of this comment - RIP to David Crosby -- an iconic singer, guitarist and song writer. He was a great one ! ❤️💔❤️🎸🎶🎵
There was nothing like growing up in the 60s!!!
Those two young girls singing their hearts out around 1:10 makes me cry with happiness…and I’m only 34
On drugs????
Great to hear Gene’s voice so up front.
A shame he was saddled with the others.
Great to see and hear The Byrds live at this majestic point in their career.
Darned good audio for a live TV broadcast in 1965.
RIP to David Crosby and David McCallum, two remarkable people with amazing talent and class who entertained us for nearly seven decades.

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!
David McCallum como Illya Kuryakin
Yes! Enjoyed your comments. My wife and I watched the new Man from UNCLE last night. The new Russian Illya Kuryakin I thought was excellent, not as good David McCallum. Overall, I thought the 2015 movie was good. I had a different opinion of Armie Hammer who played McCallums part after reading Wikipedia. He’s a strange guy in real life in constant trouble from allegations of abuse, mental & sexual. Reading McCallums he was a decent person off screen as well as on screen. Highly respected.
Rare actual performance from those classic days. Can't believe I've never seen this! I grew up listening to The Byrds on an endless loop.
No matter what I'm doing when the music comes on and I hear McGuinn's Rickenbacker twelve-string guitar, I stop and dial right into the song.
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.
Gene Clark was so awesome
Agree, however it is Gene Clark...and Michael Clarke!
Love the 60's. The greatest decade.
As a student at UCLA, I saw them twice - at Ciros on the Strip, and as an opening act for the Doors at Whiskey a-Go-Go. And both times it was really "up close."

powerful message in this classic....gosh I feel so lucky to have lived during best time ever for music....we rocked....some of us still rocking...
We really were lucky. Weren't we?
Owned album "The Byrds". I was thirteen in 1968. Unforguetable time, indeed.
I saw this lineup in 1965 in Rome, Georgia. I was 16 years ols. I also saw the Beatles at Atlanta Fulton county Stadium in August of 1965.. Good year for concerts.
So great to see this as there isn't that much footage around of the original lineup actually playing live. Pure magic !!

All the girls in my hs were wearing McGuinn''s granny glasses!
@@matapalo58 um no. it's a poncho
@@Frank-Discussionumm hate to break the news to such a smug, self assured fello, but ponchos are worn OVER THE HEAD and this clearly isn’t.
Aww maybe Next time anthoni, keep your erroneous nitwit comments confined to something you know like cartoons and coloring books
So awesome it was actually live and not dubbed. I was only five but my late great older brother was a Byrds fanatic and I grew up listening and totally influenced by them. We often sang and played their songs together such as "Here Without You," "Set You Free This Time" and "8 miles High." So many classics! Still fresh as heck. The Beatles' favorite American band.
David Crosby just has a charisma,,he is very into his performance
David is very into HIMSELF.
And he wasn't good.
this band had it all
one of the most unique sounds of the rock era, still sounds great
Sounds pretty dang good for live tv in 65. Not easy I’ll done with the lack of audio technology then but they’re tight. Love this.❤️😎
You should know there are LOTS of extremely good tv recordings from this period and before. I would go so far to say the Big TNT Show and it predecessor The TAMI Show audio was not the best audio recordings from that period..
Good shit. The ladies always understand.
Oh God, take me back!
Very serious time concerning music. At this time I was also on a Jimy Hendrix concert in Switzerland. We where all around 16 and music was sort of existential important. I went to all concerts and my father was not allowed to use the radio when this music was on air. Only me 🤭
They had a great sound with that 12 string.
Together, they created a beautiful and majestic Sound. Truly innovative knitting acoustic Folk & electric Rock together at that time! Clark, McGuinn, Crosby, Hillmen all had a good collective schooling in folk/ bluegrass, harmony singing, playing & GC had been practising his songwriter for some years before co-creating The (Beefeaters) Byrds with JMc & DC with MC & CH coming in shortly after to create their rythmn section.
Great classic songs. Bring back many fond memories of good times, good friends, much more carefree times than now. And we got along very well without cell phones and computers. 😀 RIP David MacCallum, Gene Clarke, Mike Clark, Clarence White and David Crosby. There were two other short lived members of the Byrds that also passed away.
Make no mistake, 10 seconds into Tambourine Man we British fans were hooked! 53 years, and 15 albums later I can say that The Byrds were the most influential US band of the sixties, I still put one of their albums on at least once a week. Thanks for uploading this.
I've always loved the Byrds so much too. Much later found The La's. Some on you tube not on album. They won't admit it but influenced by Beatles as well. From Liverpool.
Agreed. The Byrds are the great American rock band, as long as you aren’t counting solo artists like Chuck Berry and Bob Dylan.
@Samí Warrior BÖC ... the missing link between Byrds and Megadeth?
Tony, it's a shame their 1st British tour was a disaster. Over promoted and they underperformed.
@@Clearwater124 it wasn't a disaster, but it could have gone better ! The press didn't like them and that was crucial , Live they were better than the likes of the Kinks and Them who i saw at the time , but Hillman and Clarke were not then a solid rhythm section, they rectified that in the Burritos but then they had other problems !
Reverent and deliciously jangly guitars define this masterful group. McGuinn and the lot have a catalogue of poignant songs that still remain
wildly influential to these very modern days.
Rip Gene Clark and David Crosby.
David Crosby soaring vocals just magnificent live recording! So rare in 1965.
Love David macallum
👍 yes once again USA birds of feather flock together ahora NOW thank the wildlife plants TOO
Love this song and group.
An actual live performance. Nice. These guys were so good together. 🎸
Gene Clark forever!💗
Just amazing. Thank you for sharing this gem 😊
I love this year of 1965. Memory never dies! Thank you Mark Johnson!
awesome. real live byrds. A rarity.
The Bryds were one of the most influential bands of the Sixties, right up there with the Who.
It's always interesting to see these musicians in their early days and think about what lies ahead for them.
Dang a lot of good music came out when I was born
0:27: Turn, Turn, Turn
4:27: Bells of Rhymney
8:22: Mr. Tambourine Man
Beautiful
They really were a great band with a unique sound. I'm sure they were excellent live!
Such a shame Gene Clark quit the band so early on, their most talented songwriter.
@@dukeford8893 not the brightest thing to do, getting rid of your best songwriter.
@@dukeford8893 why?
@DavidS-vs5mj There were at least two other egos who didn't like it that Gene got royalty money for the great songs that he wrote. The jealousy was misplaced. They didn't realize Gene was a gem and a great centerstage front man. They pushed out their greatest talent.
Whole lotta factors there..Real world sadly..
R.I.P. David Crosby...
Thanks for posting. One of the best performances of the Byrds, especially this song. Unlike on the album, Gene's voice comes through loud in the mix, where he shares the lead vocal with McGuinn until he breaks seamlessly into the lower harmony part. The best performance bar none of the Byrds performing Turn, Turn, Turn.
Forever Awesome...
can't believe how young Crosby looks and we all wanted Gene Clark's hair in the 60s bought all their albums
Fantastic! Underrated band.
Underrated, but not by these comments
It was sad how Gene Clark had to leave the band because he was afraid of flying.The Byrds had a lot of personnel changes over the years.
David Mcallum “Man from Uncle” great spy TV show actor introducing a genius folk rock group...the 60s were magical...fantastic rock groups like the Byrds, people were thin and attractive with gorgeous hair and there was great fashion... I was lucky to experience it...the world is now just a boring uncreative place
David McCallum as MC!
Very good!
Aww. I wish they'd done "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better". Easily their best early single. Gene Clarke baby, The Byrds bona fide songwriting genius.
Time to get it right...Gene Clark and Michael Clarke!
@@barnesnewberry9183 SWOT
Wasn't a single, it was a b-side
Way to go Illyia K. and Chris H My faves.
4:28 THE BELLS OF RHYMNIE
Wow not only the byrds but David mc Callum what more could a girl who was sixteen in 1967 ask for x
Gene Clark's vocals front & center.
Looks like Crosby is ready for some foul weather with that poncho thing he's got goin' on!
I still watch Rodger McGuinn and the 🐦s records
And to think Mike Clarke had only been playing drums for less than a year. Amazing.
Un placer ver a David MC Culpan,Ilya kuriaki en El Agente de la Cipol(TV serie),ese disco Turn,Turn,Turno lo compre en España,para que vean que aquí no estábamos tan atrasados,ls leyenda negra antiespañola
Lo compré en 1966
Canciones quemunca nunca pasaran.bellisima
Very good live performance - no monitors! Also, I've never seen anyone using this elaborate way of playing a tambourine ...
Rare live performance by this band... Raw but typical of live TV including the sound quality from this time period.
Introduced by a young David McCallum R.I.P
And David Crosby wearing a half cape. R.I.P.
If I didn't see it I wouldn't have believed it, but intro was Ducky from NCIS.
@@danielmeehan1756Yep, that's him, Dr. Mallard
Also, he was Illya Kuryakin, a secret agent on the 60's TV series The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
Roger McGuinn, an American musician, is best known for serving as the Byrds’ frontman and bandleader. The Byrds achieved significant success in the 1960s by fusing traditional folk music with a rock tempo. For his work with the Byrds, McGuinn was also honored with a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. There are countless rock enthusiasts all around the world that adore and laud him.
Cros always looks like he's about to cause some mischief
He is fun to watch.
Always looked like a guy who would fart in an elevator 🤢
That's because he always is.
@@dansweet7171 That’s so gross what
Fantastic ,✝️✝️
Wonderful! Live vocals, too; no lip synching here. Thanks for posting this.
RIP David
A ragged performance. They sound like they’re jet lagged or something. BUT...they hit enough high spots to make this video a treasure. When they’re on, the music is breathtaking. 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.
FAB!!!!
Boa noite essa banda ainda tem alguém vivo
Thanks, Mark
A time to love❤&
To everything! TUNE TUNE TUNE!
Also if ya dig this song on youtube 😀 you may enjoy the song " Most of All " By Glenn Kaiser and Where Roses Grow Live by Rez Band Awesome songs check them out. I remember hearing the song by Led Zepp " In My Time of Dyin " during my drug years and made me think about death and Jesus. Then a hippy friend that dug Jesus told me more of Jesus love and forgiveness and how I could also know Jesus love. So in 1981 I cried out to Jesus and wow man He came into my life and I had and have so much joy and peace and now know that through Jesus when I die I will be with Him in Heaven. Hey Jesus loves each of you also and yall can know Him if you are at all open. Just cry out to Him and also read the Gospel of John in the Bible or check out the movie on UA-cam. 😀
