Malibu was transformed last night at Roger McGuinn's show from the sad scene of TP's lonesome cardiac arrest.Ric 12 for "So You Wanna Be a R&R Star" (a song younger folks often think is a TP cover when he plays it) Martin 7 string on the Heartbreakers' "American Girl" (a staple in McGuinn's solo shows) and a heartbreaking "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" which was the closer on the European tour in '87ish when TP&the HB's backed McGuinn, did their set and then backed Dylan every night.what a bill). My personal favorite "Chestnut Mare" conjured the response flat picking licks of the late great Clarence White in my mind's ear.and then there was the beautiful, show stopping encore tribute to Tom Petty. Mcguinn's "Storytellers" style solo show is always a pleasure and this show was no included a great frailing 5string long neck banjo version of the standard "Silver Dagger", wonderful versions of Byrd's classics "My Back Pages", "Bell's of Ryhmney", Chimes of Freedom" and many, many others. Play on you bloody legend, you’ve miles in you yet.

Vietnam, San Fran, Cuba, plastics, airlines, TV advertisements, Apollo 11, The Troubadour, Portobello Road and The Byrds.

In fact McGuinn hasn’t brought out an album in a while one in the last twenty years. Tambourine Man', which became a transatlantic number 1 hit single in 1965.
The band pioneered the musical genre of folk rock with their cover of Bob Dylan s 'Mr. He’s not all geriatric like Bob Dylan, with that thousand-yard vacant stare peddling the recent material that is frankly bloody awful. Background The Byrds had formed in 1964, with lead guitarist Roger McGuinn, bassist Chris Hillman, and principal songwriter Gene Clark all being founding members. In 1993 McGuinn performed at the 30th Anniversary Concert for Bob Dylan with George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Tom Petty, G.E.Smith, and others. And he’s still traipsing about doing the one-man-band thing everywhere from Tucson to Cheltenham to bloody Utrecht. Now think about how bloody old that makes Roger McGuinn. that present-day occasional stoner dad likes to recall in those rosy anecdotes. It’d be another fifteen years before he got into the acid and heavy metal, Black Sabbath, Aerosmith et.
Jesus, is Roger McGuinn stick kicking about? It’s been almost fifty bloody years since The Byrds released their big break out Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There is a Season).īack then your dad was still a bloody zygote.
