Those are great points, John. I especially like the observation about the Roadmaster material. To me, a song like 'Shooting Star' sounds like a dress...
I agree. It deserves to be heard all right--preferably with a nice remastering job and bonus tracks. I can dream, can't I? ; ) ... From: Taylor, Bob...
The closest thing to Gene playing with an orchestra, for me is the previous live album, "Moutain Stage." I feel that one is far superior to the Silverado...
I completely agree with the sentiments about "Two Sides." I read somewhere that "Daylight Line" and "Wheel of Time" were the first two songs they rehearsed...
I've never heard the demos for No Other so I can't make a comparison. Judging from some of the posts, it could be like the Beatles' Let It Be album in that the...
This is puzzling to me as well, since the song was written by Gram Parsons and recorded with him as lead vocalist on the Byrds' "Sweetheart of the Rodeo." The...
... I might agree on this, but not in the way that you perceive it. I actually think that Gene's voice is pulled way to the center and exposed in places where...
Stephanie is right that "No Other" is not half baked. It is baked all the way, and marinated beforehand. At a time like this, though, we all do need a fix!...
I don't think it's overproduced. If all the songs sounded like the title track, than yes, but most of the songs still have a little pastoral quality. The...
... The title track is the only one I've never really warmed up to. The song doesn't do much for me and everybody's vocal tracks sound ugly to me. "Strength...

The version you have is probably the unreleased demo recorded by 'Flyte' (Gene Clark, Chris Hillman,Herb Perdersen & Al Perkins) around 1982/3 with Gene...
Hi! Thank you! Good information, on the second cd on this "japaneese box" there are following tunes: One Hundred Years From Now I'll Feel A Whole Lot Better No...
The first four are the Flyte demos, the other couple are demos from a few years later ... Perkins) ... songs ... song 'Still ... Letter' ... Palomino ... solo ...
You may have hit upon a hidden bias on my part with the My Sweet Lord reference. I didn't like the backing vocals on that one either! Melanie's Lay Down...
For what it's worth, the title track always fascinated me because of the way Gene's voice was produced. It's somewhat remiscent of Lennon's processed...
... Hard to judge the Roadmaster cuts, as what you're hearing is a quick reference mix, with all the track levels put up about equal. John Einarson will have...
Only during the last five years have I had exposure to it. Confess have not played it in a while. Anyway serialistical antecedents. I think a more intresting...
All I can say is I've been to Hibbing, MN?and live in Missouri and went to school with Gene but believe me, it wasn't the water!? I have no talent so it must...
Quite frankly I think that Gene Clark's contributions to the firs few Byrds albums are singularly interesting; Dillard 4 Clark are absolutely gems. Both...

The songs I can listen to over and over again are Spanish Guitar, Tried So Hard, Train Leaves Here This Morning, Silver Raven, and Full Circle (the last...

I think that one was recorded during the period between Dillard & Clark and White Light when Gene was sort of in limbo. The recording then surfaced on comps...
Okay Gene Clark, 1975, live? Sounded like a good purchase since its been a long time since I considered Gene Clark and Chris Hillman. I just completed his...
Hi All - Thanks for the information on this. I had often wondered what the story was behind this version of 100 Years From Now. But I have a question for the...
