Album Description:
From their earliest days as 12-string-wielding folk-rockers, to the thrilling psychedelic excursions of their raga-rock period to their 1968 birthing of country-rock, the Byrds were always accorded a hero's welcome in England. What better place to record founding Byrds member/guitarist/singer Roger McGuinn's new version of the band--featuring fretboard ace Clarence White, bassist Skip Battin and drummer Gene Parsons--than London's Royal Albert Hall!
Rescued from a tape that had sat forgotten in McGuinn's climatized garage for decades, this stellar 1971 set, featuring live versions of the current band's studio faves ('Lover of the Bayou,' 'Chestnut Mare') as well as adventurous reworkings of Byrds classics ('Mr. Tambourine Man,' 'My Back Pages,' 'Eight Miles High,' 'So You Want to Be a Rock `n' Roll Star') might be the most accurate and stirring live performance yet of the legendary Los Angeles combo. By 1971, the guitar interplay of McGuinn and White had become a jaw-dropping highlight of their live performances, as had their stripped-down, acoustic mini-set and peerless four-part vocal harmonies. As McGuinn, in typically understated fashion, says of this new Sundazed release, available now on both compact disc and as a high-definition vinyl, double-gatefold LP: 'It was a great night, so I'm happy there's a record of it!'

Rating:  - Wonderful Live Recording!
This a great living recording of the late version of the Byrds featuring Clarence White's amazing b-bender guitar licks and his vocal numbers "Truck Stop Girl" and "Jamaica, Say You Will." I've listened to this CD over and over and will keep it in my top level shuffle.
Rating:  - Late-period Byrds re-invent their set
I admit that I've always been a fan of the "original" Byrds, up through the 1967 release of "Younger than Yesterday," before the Clark (1966) and Crosby (1967) departures and the well-documented in-fighting.I like "Notoroius Byrds Brothers" as well, but feel that you can detect the papering over of the gaps with synthesizers and Gary Usher's considerable studio expertise.
With that in mind, this Sundazed reissue proves an interesting gem, with a full set from McGuinn's tape ... Read More
Rating: - if you love the byrds, you'll love this
To me, The Byrds are the finest band that this country has ever produced. That said, maybe this reviewer can not be objective. However, I will try. From their jingle-jangle Dylan covers to their psychedelic experiments, to the birth of country rock, the Byrds were always one step ahead of their contemporaries. I caught Roger McGuinn's solo act recently and his voice and guitar playing are still extraordinary. Dylan would not have become a household word without The Byrds. (Why did he insult Roger ...

Rating: - Byrds best live performance
This album gives a great overview of the Byrds career in one disc. The live playing is great, showing their soft acoustic side , their traditional side, some well chosen covers and even Amazing Grace. Good value and an enjoyable disc with amazing playing from Clarance White.
Rating: - Lost Treasure Found!
I have been a Byrds fan for decades, own every known LP, CD, video, etc.This concert offers the only full length songs featuring Clarence White singing lead with McGuinn ,Parsons and Battin providing harmony backup.This album fittingly become a tribute to Clarence and his spectacular playing ability in blue grass and all other styles!I can'timagine anybody who could find flaw with this newly found gem.
