RIP Gene Clark

Gary Oldroyd

Where or who do ya know or what did ya nick to get outtakes like this. Great Stuff!

John Congerton

By this time they had their sound so good that God was pre-ordering. Shatteringly wonderful. At the absolute apex of the achievements of the 60s.

Uwe Rayer

Thanks so much High. This is a lost_jewel on Gene's oevre as far as I'm concerned. A beauty. Had it already through a genuine music frend but it's nice to hear it on the tube. And so many clicks. LOL

burman smith

indeed, that meaty Gretch rhythm perfect contrast and underpinning to the Ric.

hooskerdu1

Not exactly the sort of stage presence I would have expected from these chaps..

Glenn Wheatcroft

There is a mix of this song where his guitar is taking lead. The drop D tuning was unique for the day and worked well with the 12

kerrgal

@nicodagger You mean when it's unison. It's not hard to imagine that their voices are blending so perfectly, though it could be delay or reverb. We'll have to ask them.

kerrgal

@gillesbertacco the vocals fall apart at the end and there was also a couple of mistakes earlier

Arvid Smith

at 4:17 there is a wonderous passing tone that someone sang in the final chorale that was left off the final.

jack thelad

Crosbys guitar is just as much the guitar identity of the Byrds than the 12 string Rickenbacker.

nicodagger

Is this two voices singing at the same time, or one voice doubled or tripled? Or did they use delay?

Marvin B Naylor

@kerrgal That's OK. I heard The Byrds version in '75, not knowing the origin untill about 20 years later when I saw it on the P. Seeger live LP whilst looking through a junk shop (known as charity shops now!). There wasn't alot of information available on this kind of thing back in the 70s!

kerrgal

@marvinbnaylor My apologies, I didn't mean to sound "snarky". Yes, I was listening to the Seeger performance earlier.

Marvin B Naylor

@kerrgal I meant there doesn't seem to be a Pete Seeger rendition on youtube, the only one I know being on a live album from '64 (where McGuinn heard it - see end of my comment).

kerrgal

@doll0116 What do you mean there is no Pete Seeger version? The Byrds got this arrangement from Pete Seeger.

kerrgal

Where'd you find this? This is dynamite!

and the missing verse: They will plunder will-nilly, Cry the bells of Caerphilly. They have fangs, they have teeth, Shout the loud bells of Neath. Even God is uneasy, Say the moist bells of Swansea. And what will you give me? Say the sad bells of Rhymney. remind you of anyone? :)
