Arguably the last truly great album from the Byrds, this was a double vinyl set when it appeared in 1970. The 16-minute “Eight Miles High” took up an entire side–allowing for plenty of the free-flowing guitar, bass, and drum solos that were in vogue at the time. The live portion of the program opens with a gritty “Lover of the Bayou” and an inspired take on Bob Dylan’s “Positively 4th Street.” The studio set centers around the group’s biggest latter-day hit, “Chestnut Mare,” as well as Roger McGuinn’s haunting “Just a Season.” Here, Untitled is supplemented by Unissued, a whole bonus disc of rare and unreleased material. There are storming concert versions of Dylan’s “You Ain’t Going Nowhere,” “My Back Pages,” and “This Wheel’s on Fire.” Studio highlights include “Lover of the Bayou” and an undubbed “Kathleen’s Song.”

Its a real shame to …
Its a real shame to be mostly showing photos and album covers of the early Byrds when it is the later Byrds, Clarence White, Gene Parsons, Skip Batten and Rodger McGuinn, who wrote and is playing this song. That “MIGHTY GUITAR SOLO” is Clarence White plus the tremendous talent of the others. To see them live was to hear the Byrds at their best.
