THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE: 
... with THE BYRDS! Pretty much because I dig them as we turn into Spring (or Fall). Let's start with a rare 1965 clip of their breakthrough smash cover of "Mr. Tambourine Man." There are screaming girls, plus go-go dancers when they hit Shivaree for "All I Really Want to Do" and "Feel A Whole Lot Better." Next up is a rare sync of "I Knew I'd Want You." There are even more dancers when they cover Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" for Shindig! on June 23, 1965, while I'm pretty sure that's Ed Wynn introducing "Chimes of Freedom." You might recognize the voice introducing "Bells Of Rhymney" from poolside in August 1965 and "It Won't Be Wrong" from a corral in January 1966 on Where The Action Is. BONUS: Want a couple in color? Here's "Turn, Turn, Turn!" and "Mr. Spaceman." DOUBLE BONUS: A rare 1967 sync of "Eight Miles High." BEN GIBBARD, Live at Home, Night 3. Includes The Decemberists' "Grace Cathedral Hill." BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN sprung London Calling: Live in Hyde Park for home viewing. WHERE TO STTREAM Live Concerts. BOYGENIUS joins HAYLEY WILLIAMS on "Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris."
