Editorial Review:
Album Description:
From their earliest days as 12-string-wielding folk-rockers, to the thrilling psychedelic excursions of their raga-rock period to their 1968 birthing of country-rock, the Byrds were always accorded a hero's welcome in England. What better place to record founding Byrds member/guitarist/singer Roger McGuinn's new version of the band--featuring fretboard ace Clarence White, bassist Skip Battin and drummer Gene Parsons--than London's Royal Albert Hall!
Rescued from a tape that had sat forgotten in McGuinn's climatized garage for decades, this stellar 1971 set, featuring live versions of the current band's studio faves ("Lover of the Bayou," "Chestnut Mare") as well as adventurous reworkings of Byrds classics ("Mr. Tambourine Man," "My Back Pages," "Eight Miles High," "So You Want to Be a Rock `n' Roll Star") might be the most accurate and stirring live performance yet of the legendary Los Angeles combo. By 1971, the guitar interplay of McGuinn and White had become a jaw-dropping highlight of their live performances, as had their stripped-down,acoustic mini-set and peerless four-part vocal harmonies. As McGuinn, in typically understated fashion, says of this new Sundazed release, available now on both compact disc and as a high-definition vinyl, double-gatefold LP: "It was a great night, so I'm happy there's a record of it!"

This a great living recording of the late version of the Byrds featuring Clarence White's amazing b-bender guitar licks and his vocal numbers "Truck Stop Girl" and "Jamaica, Say You Will." I've listened to this CD over and over and will keep it in my top level shuffle.

I admit that I've always been a fan of the "original" Byrds, up through the 1967 release of "Younger than Yesterday," before the Clark (1966) and Crosby (1967) departures and the well-documented in-fighting. I like "Notoroius Byrds Brothers" as well, but feel that you can detect the papering over of the gaps with synthesizers and Gary Usher's considerable studio expertise.
With that in mind, this Sundazed reissue proves an interesting gem, with a full set from McGuinn's tape ... Read More

To me, The Byrds are the finest band that this country has ever produced. That said, maybe this reviewer can not be objective. However, I will try. From their jingle-jangle Dylan covers to their psychedelic experiments, to the birth of country rock, the Byrds were always one step ahead of their contemporaries. I caught Roger McGuinn's solo act recently and his voice and guitar playing are still extraordinary. Dylan would not have become a household word without The Byrds. (Why did he insult Roger ...

This album gives a great overview of the Byrds career in one disc. The live playing is great, showing their soft acoustic side , their traditional side, some well chosen covers and even Amazing Grace. Good value and an enjoyable disc with amazing playing from Clarance White.

I have been a Byrds fan for decades, own every known LP, CD, video, etc. This concert offers the only full length songs featuring Clarence White singing lead with McGuinn ,Parsons and Battin providing harmony backup. This album fittingly become a tribute to Clarence and his spectacular playing ability in blue grass and all other styles! I can't imagine anybody who could find flaw with this newly found gem.

85,000-ton cruise ship, which is scheduled to enter service in 2008, will be
named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be
the second largest Cunard Queen ever built. Together with the current flagship,
Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the
Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.
Silversea Cruise

Queen Victoria will enter service in the company’s 165th anniversary and will
operate cruises to and from Southampton to the Mediterranean, the Canaries,
Northern Europe, the Caribbean, and South America. The 1,968-passenger vessel
will feature a covered wraparound promenade deck, a forward-facing observation
lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12
passenger decks will be served by exterior glass-walled lifts. Like QE2 and QM2,
the liner will have a Queens Grill, offering single-seating gourmet dining.

The on-board menus, entertainment and lecture program will be geared to British
tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.
Enjoy a Cruise on Queen Victoria. The
lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
No cruise schedules have yet been
announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
