Who the Move the Moody Blues yeah the days of the transistor radio 📟 you carried to hear the latest songs 📀
Glad to have made it to being an old man in 2019, but we did have some fun in the '60's, didn't we.......
DAMN STRAIGHT
More than the law allowed.
Amen to that!
We were blessed
I am hoping that on my last day, when my life is flashing before my eyes, it slows down or even pauses a bit on the late 60s, early 70s. Yes, we had some fun.
Just listening to this after playing The Alarm version to try and decide which one’s best. Still none the wiser though, love ‘em both.
That's a very fine but quite different version. Never heard it before. More emotionally intense, with the slow funeral march beat... After all, the song is about a mining disaster.

Who wrote the poem?
OMG l am 75 and a teen through the 60s and enjoyed the London club scene but all of us thought The Byrds outstripped the likes of The Beatles and The Stones by miles! Hanging on my wall since the 60s is a signed LP cover of Mr Tambourine Man by the entire group. I still listen to them 2 or 3 times a week! As good today
The Byrds as much as I like them and have most of their albums aren't in the same league as the Beatles.
Have you ever taken that gem of a LP cover to be appraised?
@@alonenjersey Thanks and I have never thought of that as it is on my wall and of great pride Best Group EVER All the best Roger
@@rogerbyroncollins7204 I'll go as far as saying they were the Best American Group between '65 & '66. Please let me know if you decide to get it appraised. Enjoy.
"All of us" being who?
Maybe the 2nd greatest band after The Beatles (sorry, Stones, you never impressed me). Their perfect harmonies and guitar and drum work is peerless. Modern "musicians" WISH they could possess a FRACTION of this talent. You can listen to The Byrds a million times, and still never get tired of it.
I love that 12 string rickenbacker sound
What's not to love?
It’s crazy that almost no one talks about the Byrds today m. They’re so incredible. And we’re so important in their time and for the revolution of music
They are one of the greatest bands ever! In my top 10 favorite albums is "The Best of the Byrds"!
Well...theyre not taylor swift😂😂😂
Most exciting thing on UA-cam, imho.
Not bad for 1960's technology; e.g. few if any stage monitors; probably an 8-channel mixer; instruments and drums poorly mic'd, etc. This is still an important video, as it's one of the very few existing videos of the Byrds actually playing and singing live. Still a great group and a beautiful Pete Seger song based on an old Welsh poem.
The poem is about a mining disaster in the South Wales Valleys. I love the song / poem. As someone who grew up in South Wales, I really understand the emotion, significance and politics behind the words.
I know every village and town mentioned, including where I was born and brought up.
Great audience girl shots, plus the back sides of the band, and their perfectly combed bowlcuts. Music is a little slow, but so the heck what?? It's the glorious highflyin Byrds! And wow: produced by Phil Spector no less (every other producer was less-less than him, I mean), so I gather. And Ilya Kuryakin M.C.? Say uncle already! I wonder if David still has his cool cape? The Byrds made, and make my life so wonderfully resonate.
This is totally amazing stuff! Frankly I don't care if the harmonies don't match-up just perfectly. I think it is a beautiful piece - captured in time. As one other viewer noted McGuinn's 12 string is just simply beautiful.
To See and listen to McGuinn Crosby Gene Clark Hillman and Michael Clarke is jaw dropping..
I think the crowd especially the girls are spellbound. Some even singing the words.. I'm totally impressed.
For posterity purposes this video along with many of the groups in this period in Rock is Smithsonian worthy.
Robert Pattison Ageeed - it’s perfect as it is here. Their singing is really intense here, much better than the album version.
This may be the only live version we have of this song from the original lineup.
Love The Byrds with Gene Clark...he should have sang more lead.
RIP Gene and Mike, the two Clark (e)s.
they should of always had genes mic being the highest...hes the best singer
steve donahue Agreed. Although Gene + David’s high harmony is another level of gorgeousness.
Songs like this, Turn Turn Turn and 8miles high are deeper than anything. They were the best band in the world for that time
I miss the singer in the middle, Gene Clark. He was gone much too soon.
the guitar rhythm used by Harrison in song if i needed samone
Classic Byrds. What a song !
Best, most unique and influential band of the era!
A pretty good live performance of this classic track from the wonderful first Byrds' album. History has stressed how "terrible" the original group were in a live context but this sounds no better or worse than others circa 1965. Okay, the harmonies are a bit ragged towards the end and the audience look a little bemused by what they're seeing and hearing... but then, a song about a Welsh Mining disaster wasn't the usual fare for a "pop" audience at the time!
To my ears the band are pretty much in tune and their timing is fine. This sounds a bit ragged because of the mixing not being as polished as you could get with a studio. Todays technology should allow the voices (instruments and vocals) to be remixed and cleaned up to enable a much more slick and confident final showing. Could be done with Celemony Melodyne if anybody has the tools and the time.
Max Merry.. Great post Max
I am astonished at the tone of McGuinn's Rickenbacker, even in a live context. Did his guitar have built-in compression at that point.
Geoffrey Gentry no not at that moment in time
Cardiff Born and Cardiff Bred and when I die I'll be Cardiff Dead! :-)
The Byrds FOREVERMORE 🎤🎶🎸🎸🎸🥁
Seems like Harrison lifted the rift here for "If I Needed Someone." Just Sayin'.
lots of cute girls in the audience....they look so innocent
and they look like they're all having a great time.
Who doesn’t love the Bryds?!
Comme cette époque était belle
Drop D tuning; Rickenbacker 12. Memories!
Ahhhhh, that Rickenbacher!!!
I think this a segment from the Lloyd Thaxton show. I REMBEMBER THE FENDER BASSMANS STACKED VERTICALLY
Some of the audience are thoroughly enjoying this performance, others it seems may be dead from the neck-up.
What a fabulous blast from the past.
Yes, some of them seem to be saying "when will they stop playing this boring folk music." But the squeals are wonderful to hear and prove that some people of my generation had exquisite taste.
Maybe those that are not screaming, etc. are actually listening to the lyrics.
I'm glad they chose this for the important sentiment; however, Rhymney is mispronounced. Pete Seeger sings it correctly.
Yes it's "RUM nee"
as an american who spent 9 years living in Wales, i can attest that few americans have any idea how to correctly pronounce Welsh words and place names. :D
These are the Byrds!!!
The greatest lyrics - asking bells about the state of the world as if conversing with them- there’s your poetry. No one else did that
Actually Idris Davies did. He wrote the lyrics. I think Pete Seeger wrote the melody. Davies lived a long time ago, when the mine disasters were fresh news.
MARVELOUS BYRDS FOREVER IN OUR MINDS....
Beautiful song with a fine vocal work❤
I live in Rhymney :D and they're pronouncing it wrong
I think everyone who is not from Wales (I am not as well) pronounces it incorrectly. Pete Seeger wrote and performed this brilliant song pronouncing it as "rimney" so everyone else did as well.
American Beatles. Difference is,John & Paul had 'em pissing themselves and fainting. Great song though!
A much better era then.
Gene!
I once met...and touched The sweaty back of!...Roger McGuinn at a concert in Toronto. Not as on key as the recordings, perhaps...but fascinating to see the audience reaction to this rather serious song about the plight of Welsh miners! But THAT was the 60s!
Love that old-timey Rickenbacker, but the Byrds rock out even more (and the basic timbre is still maintained) if you play it on 1.25x "normal". Almost Philistine I know.
At minute 1:42, it's really touching to see those girls, so happy, watching and listening to their favorite artists.
Cheers!
Music used to sound so good...
When have I seen such passion delivered by a band in a song so smooth?
Never
When have I seen girls dancing in their seats in a Motown feel to lyrics so profound and tragic yet achingly hopeful?
Never
When have I ever heard a savage groove of eighth notes in the bass drum throughout a song?
Never
What three singers have sung in unison with this intensity?
Nobody
They stood there and did it for real... Good job Byrds
This is but only one of many, many examples of why the sixties was the very best of all the music eras. We even had two Gospel songs that made it into the top 20 and even stayed there for a while. Try to find that anywhere today. This was the time of REAL music.

Day 5990. 2 x 5 x 599. Sugar snap peas in the morning then all my urine then more peas at 1.00pm then all my urine then dried figs and grapes and apple and baby spinach leaves and more peas at 10.00pm. No change.

Espectacular!!

they were not close to the Beatles but had a unique sound and great songs
George Harrison's If I needed someone is influenced by this Song
It's said Bryds instead of Byrds for the past 7 1/2 years...
The Byrds, but not The Bryds.
The Mr Tambourine Album was one of the best
It's pronounced like 'Rumney', not 'Rimney'.
Possibly true, but that's how Pete Seeger pronounced it, who first set the poem to music.
It is true ... I was born in the Rhymney valley ... but it's a great song anyway !! @@blueyedboymrdeath
I live in Rhymney and you're 100% right! That's annoying!
By the way, the lyrics are by the Welsh poet idris Davies.
Wow !
They looked as good as the Beatles.
You mean "sounded "?
Better!
Sounded just as 👍great
Well Crosby had the "cape look" made famous by the "Help" album cover.
fantastic
Music made on another planet and brought here by mistake.
The audience just missed THE WAVE 😂
DEATH. 😮
Corvallis Oregon is for me.
I think one of the most under rated guitarist of all time.
I love the nasty looks that guy is giving his girlfriend. She probably threw her unmentionables at Gene Clark.
It's that weird audience again.
Yeah, what the hell were those girls doing, lol. Seems like they enjoyed themselves anyway.
Echt UA-cam klote kwaliteit geluid😡😡😡😡😡
The best live line up was the last they were the best , McGuinn , White, Batten and Gene Parsons saw them many times
They weren’t the Byrds!!!!!! 3 hired hands and Roger! Don’t piss me off! This is better than anything the hired hands did because it’s the real Byrds
@@jamesfitzgerald6636 Pissed off or not everyone has their opinion ,Crosby was a F up ass ,Clark was great but didn't want to travel ,Micheal Clark so so drummer , Hillman was just coming into his own , Roger is the Byrds
Bob Chisholm- sorry, nope.
Tremendous drummer
Michael Clark
He didnt even play until the Byrds recruited him in '64 because he looked like a rock star. He never even touched a drum. Lol
@@Meme-zc4cw hes no keith moon but sounds good to me
@@markyboy214 You don't need Keith Moon's style on a song like this!!!
He had played before 🙄
Cover of a Pete Seeger song who set the Dylan Thomas poem to music.
Is that audience footage actually from that particular performance? I have a hard time getting my head around teeny boppers doing synchronised dancing to sombre folk tunes. Even if was the Byrds
The best lineup ever
What drama is unfolding at 0:46?
At least they should have learned correct pronounciation of these Welsh towns..starting with RUMney...not RImney!
When I first saw them on TV they were terribly out of tune. They got much better and have always been one of my favorite bands.
"The Bryds"? Really?!😂
The pos sound guy needed to have his bell rang..
Patterson will pay !!!!!
Patterson will pay !!!!!
"The Bryds"
Oh yea
i'm glad you made it!
Love the Byrds . Young David Crosby
Anybody think that's a setlist taped to the back of Roger's guitar at 3:15?
Certainly could be. That's a good idea.
It is!
I saw them live at "The Dome" in Virginia later that year; they sounded better than this! They sound tired on this set. Those girls can really drain the Energy. . .
Yeah I hear that when you hit the chart, the girls will tear you apart. 😉
I saw many great acts at "The Dome". Remember the WGH Top 30 Review?
Great sound, but why do the jacks have such thin legs like storks?

RIP David Crosby and Gene Clark!
Inspiration for George Harrison Here comes the sun
