From the band's 4th and final appearance on "Shiv....", lip synching the Gene Clark classic, "Set You Free This Time".
Gene would be gone in less than 3 months, although he joined the band onstage sporadically toward the end of 1966.
Ok, ok; this is included in The Byrds box set, but here we have Gene Weed's Shivaree commentary!!

Gene was a friend, and it was tragic how he was treated by the band. I wish he had lived longer.9 years ago

Clark reminds me of another tragic songwriter (of the Gin Blossoms); the group made money off his genius but ended up kicking him out and he died young. Shame.9 years ago

Gene's songs were the backbone of the original Byrds. They stand the test of time perfectly....9 years ago

Lennon never wore "granny glasses." It's long been said the reason he wore the round glasses were because they were the very cheapest glasses that Britain's National Health Service offered. It wasn't a style thing, it was a cheap thing.11 years ago

A beautiful song. One of Gene's best lyrics.Dylanesque . At various times Crosby,McGuinn,Hillman and Gram all wrote brilliant songs but I reckon Gene was the best. American cosmic music before Gram. Beautiful.11 years ago

Not the first song you think of when you hear "Byrds", but one of my favorites. Had a wistful, deep, haunting sound.12 years ago

@imthefrogman I agree, Their real influence was in their vocal sound and 12 string. The songs werent that great except a few classics. This song is one that never did anything for me.13 years ago

"Set You Free This Time" is sheer brilliance. It got radio play here in Los Angeles, in fact it was a big hit; so was "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better" was another one that should have been a huge national hit. Instead, it was a B side. Tragic.13 years ago

@MaabudZ No, the host was Mr. Gene Weed, who actually did a good job, given the genre and the time.13 years ago

Gene is the man. His music touched my heart when I was in high school---and it still does. He will not be forgotten.13 years ago
