ReplyDeleteThis is not "Rehearsals". This is the last reunion private party at Clarence White's house held on January 12, 1971 when the original members of the Kentucky Colonels all gathered. They were Roland & Clarence white, Roger Bush, Billy Ray Lathum, and LeRoy Mack McNees, and also Byron Berline as a guest player. After all, this private party was their last reunion. And their picking party was originally recorded by William Ritchenberg, who also took some nice their photographs at this picking party. So, this is absolutely not "Rehearsals". And, of course the artwork pic is nothing to do with this private recording. This artwork pic is misappropriated from the jacket cover of an old Rounder LP " The White Brothers Live in Sweden".

I have posted the 1971 Last Reunion already, and to my ears, it's not the same (number of tracks and spoken comments)...

I've just started listening and as they mention Bridge Over Troubled Waters, that puts it 1970 or later. Could it be rehearsals for the 73 tour?

rockingbyrd,
They played two sets on that day. LeRoy Mack told me about their last reunion party and gave me a tape of those two sets, when he and his wife visited me here in Japan in December 1992. So I am VERY sure of it.

Thank you again Etsuo.
So now both sets are up for grabs here.
Anyone has a track listing for this second set ? I know several tracks but not all of them.

Hello Rocking-Byrd!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the fine stuff you've already posted!I have just downloaded the "Last Reunion" from you, can you please re-up this one?
And while I'm at it and just can't get enough, I am also looking for a tape from May 9th 1969 show at the University of Rhode Island, Kingston! Do you have that one too?
Greetings from a Rank Stranger
Wow!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't have to be that fast!
I have not yet listened to the other tape I downloaded, maybe over the weekend.
I wish I had some rare Byrds related stuff I could offer to you!
Thanks again!
