  2. Thanks!
    Nice to see you around again!
    Hope you're doing fine!
    Now you are the expert, but are you sure this was recorded in mid-April?
    I think they were still in the States then, and in May they were in Europe!?
    Thanks for this upload.

  3. RB, you have been doing a fine job recently in making available some of the "standard works" of the Byrds' live performances. I haven't commented for a while because, as a long-time collector, this is mainly material which I already have; but many others may be less fortunate, so keep up the good work. I shall try this one because although I have it already, there is a serious chance that you may be offering it in higher quality than on my copy. All the best!

  5. Hello again, this should be an improvement over the version I now have. My copy does not have the interviews either. Could I get a re-up for this ? As always, thanks very much. Mike
