The Byrds - "Mr. Tambourine Man" - 5/11/65 video free download
The Byrds third appearance on TV.
The band made their national televison debut just three days before this broadcast, 5/8/65 on "Shivaree".
This is a very interesting video for many reasons.
First, Gene Clark is on a Fender Xll 12 string guitar (As opposed to Tambourine), Gene & David's vocal mics are not in the mix until the second chorus.
AND; the coolest anecdote of all:
If you listen carefully, you can hear Gene Clark's barritone vocal part in the second chorus during "In the jingle jangle morning I'll come following you".
This part was NOT on the record; reason being is that Gene's vocals were on the same track as Leon Russell's electric piano, which was taken out of the mix.
The vocals here are LIVE, while the music is the recorded backing track.
Another noteworthy point; Roger McGuinn isn't even pretending to "Sinc" his guitar part correctly, by playing his famous "Scruggsy picking style", but rather strumming in earnest. :-)
Watch Gene Clark butt in on Frankie Avalon!!

Let's continue the look back at the summer of 1965 (50 years ago) for another #SongSunday entry. This song was #1 on 6/12/65 and is by one of the most successful and influential groups of that era. The original five members were only together for a couple of years and the group was history by the early 70's. This was their first big hit. It was written by the great Bob Dylan.

Gee! What a terrible song they did on this Great Dylan song. Only the poetyry carried it. I wonder how it would hae sounded if one of the really good groups of the day had done it instead. -Wes.8 years ago
