OK, here's one especially for all the Gene Clark fans out there, and another in our series of previously uncirculated audience recordings from David M. This one is a rousing Gene Clark performance with The Firebyrds from his 1984 tour, featuring a great cross-section of songs from throughout his career, as well as some choice covers (including two very different versions of Beatles songs). This show is a personal favorite of David's, and Gene is his favorite artist. Gene starts the show with 3 songs done solo acoustic, then brings out the band for the bulk of the set. Included here is also an apparent rarity: he performs a countrified version of the Beatles 'I'll Cry Instead', after which he says that it was the first time he ever performed that song, and I have not seen it listed in the setlists of other shows from this tour, or other later Gene Clark shows. This is a decent quality recording; not great, but not bad, and is probably the only recording in existence from this show. So, once again, we owe our thanks to David M for preserving these remarkable moments in music and time that can never be repeated, for us all to hear and enjoy all these years later. Once again, I have done some minor editing, re-tracking, and adjustments to help improve the sound and presentation, but for the most part, this is the whole show just as it was performed back in 1984. So, presented here for the first time on the BB Chronicles, the remarkable and irreplaceable talent of Gene Clark.
