haha - the audience fell for that fakeout-folk ending! The Smother's show was the gold standard of presenting musical acts. Too bad this is isn't live. They could have brought in Sneaky Pete, and a few other musicians.

It's so cool that this clip exists - Gene only rejoined The Byrds for 3 weeks (following David Crosby's departure) after all.

@Stephen Griffin Totally agree Dusty Springfields version is the best, it's such a lovely song and her vocals make it even better. I listen to her version and its all I can do to control myself and not start blubbing like a six year old!

He pitched a fit that this song, which was a cover, was used for Notorious Byrd Brothers rather than Triad. Triad was rejected because of the lyric content. You can hear both tunes on the remastered edition of Notorious Byrd Brothers and Going Back is a way better piece. Crosby was (is?) a total ego-maniac who constantly tried to take over the artistic direction. I'll never understand why McGuinn forsook the great Clarence White to get back with that fool for that mediocre reunion album.

Gene Clark really grounded this group, both with his voice and his persona. His contribution to the Byrds in all their incarnations, even with its limitations, is invaluable Abdo Ades
