There is a live recording on Spotify titled simply "Byrd's Live", with 2024 release date. Cover says "Live Radio Broadcast" and "with Bob Dylan and Earl Scruggs". It seems pretty sketchy (as far as I can tell, the "Eight Miles High" recording is not live at all) but I was wondering if any of the experts here can identify any of these recordings!

After listening to the full album and the many outtakes from these sessions, I played around with the idea for a longer, 14-track version. It didn't sound right.

So I'd like to ask: what is your proposition of a strong, alternative track listing (with "Triad", 'Flight 713" and "Bound To Fall", with the exception of "Moog Raga")?

Me and my grandma were listening to this album. She liked it. I did as well, but on the other hand, it sounded like a PURE country album. Therefore, the listening experience was strange, since MANY called it the first country-rock album. It didn't sound like The Byrds. BTW, other fans have agreed with a similar view-point to mine. The debut LP of The Flying Burrito Brothers provided a better fusion between these genres. What do you guys think? "Sweetheart" is still a good project.

Seeing as he was a huge influence on them and the fact that they were out while he was still alive, I’d assume he’d have an opinion on them. I tried Googling but to no avail. What do ya’ll think?

​

I recognize John York, Skip Battin,and Rick Danko but who are the others?

The Beatles, Linkin Park, Metallica, Bob Dylan, Depeche Mode, and Deftones to name a few.

I just finished reading this new book that examines each and every Byrds song and album, and I highly recommend it. It's the kind of book you can pick up and randomly flip through and read it as well. Lots of great photos.

I thought I already knew a lot about the Byrds songs from reading Timeless Flight and the liner notes that appeared on the Columbia CD album reissues of the 1990s plus the CD version of Never Before but I learned a lot from this book.

The author can be brutally honest sometimes like in his critique of "Mind Gardens" (which actually grew on me over the decades) and the post-Sweetheart of the Rodeo albums.

Giles has done excellent with remixing The Beatles catalog and still has more to go! And I can’t wait but what is everyone’s opinion on remixing The Byrds albums? Yay or nay?

Apologies if I’m posting too much. The Byrds are my favorite band behind The Beatles and I love discussing and seeing other fans thoughts and opinions.

What a fun and interesting book to read! Lots of great new insights.

I was wary of buying the book at first as I have all of the Byrds reissued CDs with the extensive liner notes starting with Never Before and through the Columbia reissues, but the author mines all sorts of sources for his take on each Byrds song.

It’s just so beautiful. But that’s it, that’s the post.

Idk if this is considered a “unpopular opinion” or whatever but I think I prefer grams version of Christian life , but I think Roger is much better on you don’t miss your water.

The Byrds playing on the TNT show wasn’t bad. Sure, the songs played much slower however it just made the songs better imo. Especially “Bells of Rhymney”. It’s so haunting when played slow.

I probably answered my own question but maybe I’m wrong.

The Byrds every album, every song by Andy McArthur

I didn't expect much but was pleasantly surprised. An excellant addition to the John Regan cannon. Well worth having and not a price rip off like the last con.

Are there anymore things left in the Byrds vault that hasn’t been released?

So I was reading an interview with Roger McGuinn.. In it he states that he played 12 string acoustic guitar on the demo version of the Paul Simon song 'The Sound of Silence'. Is he referring to the version that appears on Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M.? Or is he referring to a true unreleased demo that pre-dates that version? If it is another version, does it exist on the internet anywhere?

I think it’s…

Paul Mccartney - Chris

John Lennon - Gene

Ringo Starr - Michael

George Harrison - David & Roger

Do ya’ll agree or disagree? Let’s discuss. I’m interested in knowing everyone’s opinions

I love that song so much and wish it got more attention

David would’ve been 82 today. I still can’t believe he’s passed. What’s everyone’s favorite song by him either solo or with The Byrds? Mine is “What Are Their Names”

Me? “Mr. Tambourine Man (lp)” is better than “Turn! Turn! Turn! (lp)”

Gram sang the rehearsal takes, but Roger’s album version sounds oafish and wrongly phrased. Right? Is there a story behind that decision?
