Gene one heck of a drummer

cool beans!

All of my very favorite musicians….Clarence was amazing. Saw them two times at Michigan State University….1970 & 1971,,,,

American bandstand

13 at the time missed it was well aware of missing something special historic

Cameramen really sucked back then😒

Rather lackluster performance,what happened to the Coke??

Excelent music

Lucky enough to see Clarence three times, twice with this line up and once in his last concert with the Byrds. Skip and Gene had left by that time and the concert was kind of a dud compared to the first two I saw with this line up.

McGuinn: "Clarence did great work on everything we ever did, like “Chestnut Mare” and “Old Blue.” He was incredible. He was unpredictable. He was always syncopating and coming out of places you didn’t expect."

Brill.

Is it speed of the tape or does this seem unduly slow? RM starts it too slow.....LOVE the song though......

Kralingse Bos 1970.... Wat gaat de tijd snel :)

When Blue die he died so hard shook the ground in my backyard

I am glad Clarence White's awesome guitar Hummingbird is in good hands with Marty Stuart.

Love the dual lead guitars

TheByrds live could never be accused of knowing how to sing OR play. I've heard every existing live performance, and they're all crap.

my favorite all time American band

If there's a heaven, it sounds like that Ric!

- GREAT TIMES, BIG PLAYERS !!! How I miss them all... I've often wondered who grabbed Rickenbakers first : Harrison or McGuinn ?

Drummer/guitarist/banjo player GENE PARSONS invented the B-bender with help from Clarence White, hence the "Parsons-White B-Bender". The guy who took over for Clarence in McGuinn's solo band invented a B-bender that can be retrofitted to ANY stop bar tailpiece on any Gibson, Epiphone, or anything similar and you can put them on various strings, even 2 or three on the same guitar! Gene and Clarence did some incredible stuff.

The Byrds had a lot of good songs about dogs. Bless their hearts!

I like this live version of OLD BLUE better than the UNTITLED/UNISSUED version. Plus, THE BYRDS should have done a medley of MR. SPACEMAN & OLD BLUE since both songs are played at the same rhythm and pace.

I was there, as well!

Do you have anymore Byrds from this era?

This appereance on TV, is in 1969 American Bandstand (:

This was obviously a playback lol :P but I love them and this song! I'd give my right testicle to have been at woodstock watching them rock!

Great video, thanks for posting that...

I was there.....

I HAD A DOG NAME BUTCH

do you guys have nothin else ?

Hey kids this is rock n roll.

Makkar, this is from ABC, Saturday, September 13, 1969. I think you can figure out what popular show it is. I don't want to say more because the lawyers will come running. Got it?

His sound is old now... compare with 1975

The Hüsker Dü of Folk-/Countryrock : )

I wonder why they left out my favorite line? "When I get to heaven first thing I'll do is grab my horn and call for old Blue". It's the best thing about that song and I always remember it when I think of my old dogs.

@saidramos77 Agree! Fogerty is much better now than before, well that's true and wrong in two ways; he's better at guitar than before, but his voice have changed a bit since the Creedence era (it's a little winy, but whatever)

@saidramos77 Hmm... where did you get that info from?

@saidramos77 So... who's playing the rhythm guitar? I always though John played harmonica on those songs while Tom on rhythm guitar (I can still hear the guitar), Stu on bass and "Cosmo" on drums... btw it only sounded like 1 harmonica.

@swordfishdrumbones They didn't use playback to the show, but to the video

@saidramos77 @MakkariRevival Harmonica in all songs? Never heard harmonica in every CCR tune, some songs like "Long As I Can See the Light", "Molina", "Sailor's Lament" and "(Wish I Could) Hideaway" have saxophone or organ instead of, and here's the harmonica songs by CCR: Keep on Chooglin', Graveyard Train, Run Through the Jungle, Poorboy Shuffle, Feelin' Blue (in the intro)... Tom Fogerty never played harmonica... he played along with bass on "Graveyard Train" and "Run Through the Jungle"...

Este es el mejor rock q pude conoser en mi vida

this video is from american bandstand

Epic. And- with Kenny Aronoff on drums and Billy Burnette on guitar... wow.

im 87 this makes me feel young again woot woot

@swordfishdrumbones Sadly, i think it's playback. Watch at 2:04, John's lips aren't even moving

did they play live on this show? too bad, that the audio is playback. or did they use playback in that show? (i like this band very, very much, but i don't like playback shows...)

Yes,i was there in 1970 the byrds and many good bands like pink floyd it was in my home town Rotterdam very nice festival,what a great time whe have there!!!!!!!

@ccrholland - "Premonition" was completely over-dubbed in post production - badly. The *best* modern day Fogerty fooatge is from 'Hard Rock Live'.

The version on "The Concert" is my favorite.
