Description
In the early 1980s Gene Clark spent some time living in Hawaii attempting to ‘get clean’. Upon his return to the US he formed The Firebyrds with whom he recorded one album which came out in 1984. The release coincided with the emergence of ‘jangle-rock’ by the likes of R.E.M. and Tom Petty who had sparked a renewed interest in the Byrds music. Clark now began developing new fans among LA’s roots-conscious Paisley Underground scene. It was in the midst of such acclaim that Gene Clark alongside The Band’s Rick Danko and Richard Manuel fellow ex-Byrds Michael Clark and John York ex- Beach Boy Blondie Chaplin and the Flying Burrito Brothers’ Rick Roberts came together as ‘Gene Clark & Friends’ to perform what was to be a superb show at The Three T’s - a small club in Evansville Indiana - on 15th May 1985. Playing a very tight mix of old Byrds numbers solo Gene Clark songs a couple of Band cuts and even a dynamic version of ‘Sail On Sailor’ which provided the aforementioned Mr Chaplin a few glorious minutes centre-stage the show was a roaring success but has rarely been heard since despite the full set having been recorded for live FM radio broadcast. All that changes with the release of this CD which makes this legendary gig available for all to hear for the first time. Featuring the entire performance this release in near perfect quality is certain to delight fans of all who performed that wonderful summer evening some 35 years ago.
