The Byrds - "I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better" - 9/16/65

From the band's 2nd out of three appearances on "Shindig", this is a prerecorded performance with live vocals.

The guitar solo is chopped in half, plus no guitar outro in order to fit the show's very strict time contraints.

This performance also exposes the band's weakness as a "Live act", which they were indeed known for.

Notice on the close-up of Michael Clarke, his foot is not even on the kick drum pedal!!!

The stiff, plodding sound of the rythym section, coupled with the kind of music they were doing, and the '60's sound system situation; all these things really worked against the band.

It's a kick to hear Gene Clark try to cram the word "Probably" into damn near two syllables, as they are playing the song extra fast to fit the allocated time.

Bass players: This is GREAT place to learn the Bass line, because here, Chris Hillman is louder than everything else. :-)
