Live At Fillmore carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Since completing 1969’s ‘Nashville West’, The Byrds fulfilled their contract with Mute Records and where under no obligation to release another album. The Byrds was a flawless and timeless record. Not surprising from The Byrds and Live At Fillmore together. Enjoy the show.
In You’re Still On My Mind it becomes nowhere more obvious that The Byrds has yet to define own style. The Byrds emotions are reflected through Pretty Boy Floyd. I find myself hearing bits of Drug Store Truck Drivin’ Man here and there throughout my waking hours. Medley Turn! Turn! Turn! Mr Tambourine Man Eight Mile is a song that will not reduce you to tears but leave you thinking long after Live At Fillmore have ended. Close Up The Honky Tonks is filled with very deep emotions that will truly touch your heart. Such hits like Buckaroo will leave you hooked. I came to like The Christian Life. Time Between is the more seemingly obscure song on Live At Fillmore that bear up best to repeated listening. King Apathy III is gorgeous song though, very addictive. Bad Night At The Whiskey is a fine track on any terms. When I listen to This Wheel’s On Fire in my car when traffic ain’t going so good. Sing Me Back Home is such a amazing and optimistic song that things can get just better. So You Want To Be A Rock ‘n’ Roll Star had me crying as I was able to relate so well. He Was A Friend Of Mine marked the continuation of The Byrds in style evolution. The song feels complete.
