Rhonda B Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Susie... my favourite and probably the one I know best by The Byrds is Here Without You ...hauntingly beautiful. And especially brings meaning to one's life if they've lost somebody close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susie b Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Tom Petty never caught my fancy, and I'm not sure why considering he was hugely influenced by the Byrds. I love Roger McGuinn's Thunderbyrd cover of American Girl so much better than Petty's original. Petty easily fits with the Byrds & Dylan and definitely was considered "one of the family". McGuinn just has that musical magic that I love. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a bittersweet confection for the heart (and ears). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LC Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 Vinnie, how did they get away with such a short gig? I remember seeing Dave Mason play at my college. He had a sore throat, so his band played 55 minutes (to meet the contractual stipulation) then left a very frustrated audience. And... Dave had one of his bandmates do the vocals. It was around the time that "We Just Disagree" was a big hit. Well, the crowd disagreed with such a short show and wished he could reschedule (he didn't).
