The Byrds lipsync to “Goin’ Back.” Wait is that Gene Clark subbing in for Crosby? Why yes, I think it is.

Well, now we need some Crosby… how about CSN performing at Woodstock?

Who’s your favourite Byrd. Mine isn’t Gene Clark, but he’s near the top.

I think this one came about because The Byrds realized they had Clarence White in the band. I love the guy at 7:55, though, I think he’s best when they cut back to him at the end.
