The McGuinn, Clark and Hillman project came when the three former founding members of the Byrds attempted a triple bill tour with their respective solo bands in Europe in 1977. The subsequent reunion two years later was felt to be an extension of what the original band had accomplished and that no disco lick from their latest album could dilute it.
Their legendary appearance at the famed Armadillo World Headquarters in Austin Texas in 1979 survives as only one of a handful of FM broadcasts that captures the pivotal essence of the legendary Byrds. The return of Gene Clark alongside Chris Hillman and Roger McGuinn was a profound chapter in the later careers of these seminal figures who choose to showcase their new album in true Byrds’ fashion with a glorious smattering of classics from the Byrds’ songbook.
Presented with a professionally re-mastered original broadcast, background liners and rare archival photos.
