Description
The Byrds weren't just one of the greatest and most influential bands of all time, they were several of them. There was, of course, the original folk-rock version of the Byrds, which begat the psychedelic version of the Byrds, which in turn begat the country-rock version of the Byrds, which in turn begat a hodgepodge of all those iterations before the group burned out once and for all. Each version of the Byrds likewise showcased what could generously be categorized a shifting lineup, with Roger McGuinn the sole constant up through the band's somewhat unsung end in 1973. Yet McGuinn's not the star of the lineup captured on Live at the Royal Albert Hall 1971, the masters of which the singer recently found sitting in his archives. Rather, the focal point is former bluegrass prodigy turned rocker Clarence White, whose short-lived career ended around the same time the Byrds did, when he was struck and killed by a drunk driver while loading gear. White got his start in the Kentucky Colonels, crossing paths with the Byrds several times before McGuinn eventually invited him to join in 1968 as a permanent member. His virtuoso solos and interplay with McGuinn are what kept the band interesting, especially in its later years and particularly for a band never renown for its live prowess.
