The Ed Sullivan Show was a television variety program that aired on CBS from 1948-1971. For 23 years it aired every Sunday night and played host to the world's greatest talents. The Ed Sullivan Show is well known for bringing rock n' roll music to the forefront of American culture through acts like Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones. The entertainers each week ranged from comedians like Joan Rivers and Rodney Dangerfield, to Broadway stars Julie Andrews and Richard Burton, to pop singers such as Bobby Darin and Petula Clark. It also frequently featured stars of Motown such as The Supremes, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder and The Jackson 5. The Ed Sullivan Show was one of the only places on American television where such a wide variety of popular culture was showcased and its legacy lives on to this day.

Thank God that Ed Sullivan required his performers to actually play and not lip sync. This performance, although the recording is poor - way too boomy for some reason and all the instruments bleed into one another - is awesome. How McGuinn can execute that guitar break so well live is incredible. Go Byrds!

The only thing I could figure is that they were expecting the same level of audience hysteria they had when The Beatles appeared, and nobody did a proper sound check, because the drums sound hollow yet overpowering. However, Roger McGuinn's Rickenbacker sounds heaven-sent.

I am totally freaking out right now. I was in high school when my mother took me and my brother to dance lessons in Tustin, CA. The guys were on one side of the dance floor and the ladies on the other. I always had my eyes on the most beautiful one and sprinted over to extend my hand to her. I danced every one with her. The final dance was to the #1 song on AM radio. The Byrds “Turn, Turn, Turn” on 96.3 KHJ boss radio Los Ángeles. I just locked onto her eyes and was in a trance with her. We won the dance contest. However, I can’t dance at all. It was all her ~56 years ago. Thanks for putting up with me. At the Whiskey on Sunset it was The Byrds, Love and The Doors. I was fortunate to see all three. I am an old fart.

@zk6642 2 жыл бұрын
I would have to disagree wiht you my friend. The Bryds really took inspiration from the Dylan! His first (half)electric album "Bringing It All Back Home" was released in march of 65. The Byrds Released their album "Mr. Tamborine Man" (of which Turn, Turn, Turn is on) in June of 65. the Byrds covered the Dylan song "Mr. Tamborine Man", and even named their album after it! Dylan went electric and they all followed. The Byrds were all former folk singers after all. And this unique guitar sound was actually the Rickenbacher 12-string of which they took inspiration from George Harrison of the Beatles.
@thomasrobinson182 2 жыл бұрын
@@zk6642 Actually, the group began working on a folk-rock fusion in 1964. The 'Mr. Tambourine Man' recording session happened January 15, 1965. The Dylan album came out two months later. Dylan couldn't use the recording he'd made with Rambin' Jack Elliott, who was off-key. The Byrds were given a copy and McGuinn arranged it. Rehearsal takes appear on the Preflyte album in its various released configurations.

l am now a young 75 and as a teen through the1960s I enjoyed the London club scene big time and all my pals thought The Byrds outstripped the likes of The Beatles and The Stones by miles! Hanging on the wall in my studio, in a place of honour since 1965 after I obtained it during my first visit to Arlington Virginia is an album cover containing a vinyl LP of Mr Tambourine Man signed by the entire group which I treasure to this day. When I met Mick Jagger in Mustique in 1988, as we both shared the same Italian architect Mario Spinella, when we built our villas on Mustique and St Vincent I showed him the signed LP which he would have bought at any price, but was not for sale and remains priceless to this day. At least then I got Mick to sing at my Norwegian wife's 40th Birthday party celebration's in January 1989 on Basils Bar in Mustique and Ringo Star and Barbara Bach turned up so a great party that finished at 8 am the following morning! I still listen to the Byrds at least 2 or 3 times a week. They were then and to this day remain the best Folk Rock group EVER!!!

He was a very thoughtful teenager and I was a pesky little sister ten years younger. He put down his paperback (probably Fritz Lieber), thought a bit, and then he said "Because music is a powerful enchantment that says different things to each one who listens to it". Hmm, Okay, I thought I understood even then...but I especially understand now. RIP David Crosby, in your time on Earth you were among the most grand of enchanters.

This is an incredibly emotional song for me. I didn't hear it back in the day... was born in '67... but these words from the Book of Ecclesiastes are what I've heard at every funeral mass for the people I've loved. It's not sung this way, but just hearing the words makes me think of my Mom and grandparents. It's timeless.

@@SwampNymph522 I don't think that's a requirement. It wasn't for my Mom, who was just 64. It basically says there's a time in life for everything... no matter what age God decides to bring you home. Although everyone else may grieve, it's just that person's time and part of God's plan.

Lyrics from 1000 BC! Written, supposedly, by King Solomon and recorded in the Bible (Ecclesiastes 3:1-8). These English lyrics are taken directly from the King James Version (1611). Pete Seeger wrote the music, the "Turn! Turn! Turn!" phrase and the line "a time for peace, I swear it's not too late.". The Bible was the #1 song in 1965. Who knew?

There is an interesting story about how Roger (Jim) McGuinn achieved his Rickenbacker sound. When The Byrds were recording initially the studio put compression in McGuinn's guitar to protect their recording equipment as recording rock music was in it's infancy. The compression punched up the sound of the Rickenbacker so I believe that McGwinn started using compression all of the time. Also at the advice of Paul Kantner (Jefferson Airplane), he also ran the guitar through treble booster. Rickenbacker actually issued a Roger McGwinn Rickenbacker guitar with compression and tremble boost built into the guitar. True story.

Michael Clarke was such an underrated drummer, he never got the credit he deserved, brilliant musician. I've always felt so sorry to hear that his life was troubled with addiction, I don't think Micheal or Gene was cut out for fame, they both seemed to be very down to earth guys. I hope they have found peace now 💖

Glad you have a chance to really here the drums, Michael took a lot of crap from record producers, media, and even band members. But in fact he was a very good drummer.
