"Get down and break a sweat . . ."

I feel the only appropriate response here is, "I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so...scared...!"

This video supposedly has all the dances, but it doesn't have the one where Screech subbed for Jessie.

But it does have Buddy Bands!

And Slater in tights . . .

Untitled by The Byrds-Sep 1970

A double album, one live disc, the other new studio recordings. It's an uneven collection, some good stuff here and there. John York was let go and Skip Battin takes over on bass starting here. The live record has some good new songs "Lover Of The Bayou" a swampy Creedence-like rocker and a nice version of Bob Dylan's "Positively 4th Street". There is classic Byrd hits like "So You Want To Be A Rock N Roll Star', "Mr Tambourine Man" (though I wish they would have included more of Dylan's verses on this one) and "Mr Spaceman" to end Side 1. Side 2 consists of a boring 16 min jam session for "Eight Miles High".
The opener on the studio disc is the best, McGuinn sings a haunting tune about a wild horse with some spoken verses. "All Things" is another good McGuinn tune with ex Byrd Gram Parsons on harmony vocal. "Yesterday's Train" is a forgettable one sung by Gene Parsons. McGuinn has another beautiful one with "Just A Season". Clarence White sings one weak one "Truck Stop Girl" and a better one "Take A Whiff" with some good mandolin playing. The last and least song is Battin's "Well Come Back Home" a monotonous song that rambles for over 7 minutes. Battin's singing and writing does not fit in well with the Byrds.

Byrdmaniax by The Byrds-Jun 1971

The weakest album yet by the group. The first 3 songs are OK, the gospel flavored "Glory Glory" ballads "Pale Blue" and "I Trust" all sung by McGuinn. Bassist Battin ruins things with the next two. "Tunnel Of Love" and "Citizen Kane", the latter a vaudevillian tune about old Hollywood, the worst Byrd song ever and proof that Battin simply does not fit in with this group. My favorite track is McGuinn's jaunty and satiric "I Wanna Grow Up To Be A Politician". McGuinn has a nice ballad "Kathleen's Song" which is drowned out by production. Clarence White does two forgettable songs.

Currently binge watching a show called "This Is Us" that my daughter put on a flash drive for me. On one episode they brought up a tue that got me into also "binge listening" to this very familiar artist. All from being reminded with this song....
