The Boarding House gig was a 1978 reunion of McGuinn, Clark, Crosby and Hillman in a mainly acoustic performance which was broadcast over the radio locally (where the tape here comes from).

It's a pity Michael Clarke wasn't there

FANTASTIC! I loved The Byrds with an intensity that one seems to only have in high school. My brother Fred & I bonded over The Byrds, The Beatles & The Kinks; but in college when wandering across campus at 2 AM & wobbling drunk, it was The Byrds music which our befogged brains automatically chose to belt out at the tops of our lungs. This is a great reunion concert of nearly all the original members. How wonderful it is to hear "Crazy Lady," which was only performed live. I feel young again!

This is not from 1978 but 1977: McGuinn-Clark-Crosby 12-08-1977. I got the early and the late shows : 18 songs for the first gig and 20 songs for the second gig. For the video that we hear here, it's was re-recorded in a studio with more instruments.

This is wonderful! The tapes of this gig should be released immediately, it would be an essential album. "Crazy Lady" is a beautiful song, so much better than the material that appeared on their subsequent LP, plus McGuinn`s guitar gives me goose-bumps. Gene Clark had another great unrecorded song around this time - "Last of the Blue Diamond Miners". Anyone got a recording of that?

This is amazing, I can't believe this, this stuff is so good, why don't they release it to us. This is the Byrds. I was so happy when I was in H.S. and the Byrds were back on the Radio, AKA MCH I loved both LPs.

"Crazy Ladies" isn't on any album (only ever performed live). The song was written by Gene with Thomas Jefferson Kaye (who produced Gene's 'No other' and 'Two Side to Every Story' - both great albums and worth checking out). Cracking track!
