The Byrds – Doin’ Auright For Old People

The Byrds – Doin’ Auright For Old People

My original LP = Excitable Recordworks Label 4506-1 (USA 1978)

My CD = Aulica Label A-148 (Italy 1993) (re-titled Doin’ Alright For Old People – Live In Frisco 1978)

Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, Chris Hillman, David Crosby

The Aulica CD wrongly states that Michael Clarke was there – he wasn’t.

This performance was initially planned as McGuinn, Clark and Hillman solo sets followed by a reunion at the Boarding House in San Francisco in February 1978, but at one point they were joined by David Crosby. They hadn’t played or sung together since 1973 and the magic of the blended voices happened instantly.

This is part of the show only. More complete versions (including solo spots by Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark and Chris Hillman with Kim O’Kelly) were later made available by various CD labels and by online download sites (all unofficially).
