  2. Many thanks. Another audience recording, but the first impression is that it is not as poor as the recording of the 1970 show at the same venue. Something about De Doelen seems to have urged The Byrds to make an exceptional effort, digging deep into their repertoire: a performance of 5D by the "Clarence White Byrds" rates as pretty rare. Best wishes from John in England.

  3. The real rarity of this concert is the first and maybe the only rendition of She Belongs To Me.

  7. For several days I seem to have had the same problem as the one mentioned by Paolo Blackoak above. However, having tinkered with the address, I somehow managed to download the files at the fourth attempt.
    As to the show - I thought its contents partially made up for the harsh sound quality although McGuinn's interpretation of "She Belongs To Me" was not up to his usual standards (in my opinion). The concert's highlight for me was Clarence White's guitar playing and I can't remember when he played badly on record or live.
    One final point, was the sound quality of the hastily withdrawn concert significantly better than this one and therefore of marketable quality?
    Thanks for your efforts.

  10. Freakshare not working. Go through the usual procedure for this sort of thing, solve the captcha, click download. Instead of downloading Freakshare it goes to an Upload page!

  11. I'm sorry but I re-checked it for the third time and everything went OK for me. So I can't help and fix a problem that doesn't exist here.
