I think Gene's voice is something of wonderful. I'm Italian but the bio of Gene (Mr tambourine man) is only in English, so it took me a while to read it but I had to. I love even more Gene Clark

Dan Moreno

Can hear Chris Hillman's high harmonies on Mr. Tambourine Man. Don't know why he didn't sing much on their early albums. He has a brilliant voice. He sings on the second verse. "Take me on a trip..."

Thank God they kicked him out of the band.

Awesome.

In reply to triptoyourheart, respectfully, you got it wrong, Read the objective bio, Mr. Tambourine Man. Gene Clark was the most talented, by far...not even close. He was the only real songwriter at the time; the others (like this) were covers. His personal issues forced him to leave the band after just 2 albums. Crosby was an idiot with the Byrds; wrote nothing of significance with them, and acted like an ass the whole time he was a Byrd. Treated the insecure Clark like crap, and couldn't get along with the Byrds, hence his firing. Had a ton of success with CSN, yeah, but didn't write anything important, and has had issues with those guys as well, if you recall. Listen to the music, and throw out the traditional concepts of 'big hits', and then compare. In many ways, Byrds were much better after Crosby left.

Funny that some people have never gotten the fact that after Crosby got fired, The Byrds did nothing but crap. Crosby was the soul of Byrds. Just a year after, he was playing with Crosby, Stills, Nash and was the biggest thing after The Beatles. Woodsctock the movie starts with Crosby's Long Time Gone and CSN has 4 songs in that movie, more than any other (Long Time Gone, Wooden Ships, Suite:Judy Blue Eyes and Woodstock. Directors cut even added one more, Find The Cost Of Freedom).

Chris Hillman has such a fantastic singing voice, it is a shame his vocals never stood out on to the Byrds earlier albums; the ones that put them "on the map". I love listening to the Desert Rose Band recordings that Chris has done. Brilliant to say the least!

Peggy Burgess

And that tough old bastard Crosby has remained, deserved or not.

Gene Clark: "And I'll PROBABLY feel a whole lot better when you're gone." That little twist, the word "probably," at that time, in the infancy of modern rock, was genius.

The Byrds ... Hey Mr Tambourine Man ...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

MinstrelOnTheRun

Wonderful track, giving a much-deserved spotlight to Gene Clark (check out his solo studio version of this!). This concert and the Clark/McGuinn/Crosby Bottom Line show would make for a hell of an archival release, maybe rounded out with a '90 McGuinn/Crosby/Hillman show with the three-song Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame performance (with all five original members) tacked on.

Jennifer Reynolds

Never should have let Gene leave the band. Good God man that guy could sing and write. But he needed Crosby and Mcguinn to whip him into shape.

Uwe Rayer

thank you very much ejectorerector. True storys must be told. This is just a case that thousends of people have it wrong and I am the only one who has it right jus like his hero Jim(Roger?).

Scott Cathcart

I saw most but your comments about Gene Clark causes alot of regret that I missed him and this great band live. Thanks for posting an incredible track.

great vocal blend .....

@hfelton because he was making songwriting royalties and they weren't. then they started trying to exclude his songs from the albums and relegating them to b-sides and instead putting tripe like "wait and see" (written by mcguinn and crosby) in place of better songs penned by clark. plus why the hell would hillman be jealous of mcguinn? hillman has been in many great bands and is a talented multi-instrumentalist. i also laughed at 2 string guitar.

ejectorerector

@hfelton well someone else already gave the story of how the group formed. it was more collective, not just mcguinn. also, why the hell does hllman praising clark mean that he is jealous of mcguinn? what? i'm not even following your logic. besides, hillman wrote much better songs than mcguinn. mcguinn was a great guitarist, sure, but not songwriter. clark was the principle songwriter for the group during his tenure, and it's been documented that both mcguinn and crosby were jealous of him
