The Byrds.
Remember them?
Playing with Bob Dylan
in the Whisky a-Go-Go with
a non-mustachioed David
Crosby standing there on
the back of well-fingered
and read album covers.
Listening to "Turn Turn,
Turn" on AM radio.
- Doing all their big, super
colossal hits for 'you;II
Eight Miles High",
"Chestnt Mare", "Wanna
Be a Politician" and on and
on.
Well, they were here last
night to wind up Spring.
Thing.
Ho-Hum.
Not that they were bad,
mind you. Just dated.
The crowd loved them.
The crowd always loves to
applaud when they hear the
opening chords of a song
they know. The Byrds is a
well known group and so
they had a lot to applaud
about.
I suppose I shouldn't oe so
hard on them, but I ex
pected more, we've been
old friends since I was
fifteen or so.
Anyway, the concert
started on time; that was a
change. Then they played
all their hits, finished up
with "Eight Miles High,
and walked off. The
audience screamed and
yelled and DiFiglio stood on
stage and told the crowd tc
clap and shout some more
to try and get them back.
The crowd did that and
after a respectable ego
inflating time, they came
back and played a couple ol
turies more, the voices fromi
the crowd screaming
"Turn, Turn, Turn"
Well, the crowd didn't gei
"Turn, Turn, Turn". The
Byrds split and those ole
house lights came on and ai
9:45 it was all over. Snatch

of conversation: "Well,
maybe I could have seen it
if they were on with another
group, but they were the
only one."
Oh, I don't know. The
Byrds had a painless set,
the crowd by and large went
home happy; a piece of
teenage nostalgia
authenticated. It could have
been worse.
But we were old friends.

"Forth Carats" is now
playing at the Town
Theatre.
It is one of those
sparkling, pseudo-Neil
Simon comedies that came
out of the late sixties. One
these things
that are
supposed to be
very
sophisticated
and show how
life is in '"The
City".
It revolves around a
woman who is being chased
by some men, I think. One
of the men is her ex
husband, a happy-go-lucky
sort of guy. Think of Gig
