RE: Greetings from WAY down south
Live performances are, of course, out of the question, though I may just be the only P2-er to have seen the Byrds live with Gram-replacement roadie Carlos Bernal in tow - the infamous 1968 safari. Bernal spent the entire show with his back to the audience, except for a couple of brief moments when he seemed either totally bewildered or hopelessly stoned, or both. Whatever, he definitely didn't know all the chords. I guess not many of us can claim first hand experience of so off the wall a rock 'n' roll footnote. [Matt Benz] Now that is a story we haven't heard yet! Carlos Bernal not knowing the songs still had to be better than suffering thru Crosby.
RE: Greetings from WAY down south
Probably anyone would have been easier to deal with than Crosby? Except maybe Saint Gram Anyhow, have any of you listened to the "hidden track" studio stuff on those Byrds re-releases. I was just thinking of Crosby the other night after listening (and laughing a lot) at the studio fight that's a hidden track at the end of "Notorious Byrd Brothers." Mainly Crosby dogging Michael Clarke about a drum part, but it just goes on and on and on The producer, Usher, tries to intervene and get them back on track, but nooo, etc. Anyone who's ever been through a rough rehearsal will sympathize g. --junior

Yn. I don't know how long it is, something like 11 minutes. I don't know who would listen to it, even among diehard fans... --junior
