Free Music Notes for Live at the Fillmore West February 1969

Free Music Review: Clarence Hendrix
Hit: 5 Stars

If you've ever wondered why Jimi Hendrix was a huge fan of Clarence Whites, just listen to this live Byrds cd. In particular, check out the songs from Dr. Byrds and Mr. Hyde - Bad Night At The Whisky, King Apathy, Wheels On Fire - on these tracks Clarence White's Fender Telecaster snarls and crackles through some of fiercest solos in rock music. It wasn't just Hendrix who admired Clarence's style: former Byrd bassist, John York (who appears on this cd), has described Byrds' concerts during this time as always including numerous guitarists standing on the sidelines studying Clarences' technique and his use of the 7 string - string bender guitar which was invented by White's long-time friend and fellow Byrd, Gene Parsons. Somehow over the years, Clarence has only received marginal praise, yet the best musicians of the late sixties and early seventies knew Clarence was, indeed, "The Poet of Guitar." As great as the original Byrds were, when Clarence joined forces with McGuinn the Byrds became the greatest live band in America. Listen for yourself.

Live at the Fillmore West February 1969 Poster

Recorded at Bill Graham's legendary San Francisco concert hall during two shows in February 1969, this disc sounds like a practice session recorded in the morning after a particularly long, rough night. The vocals fall flat too often and rhythmic cohesion is always one measure away--too many noodly, irrelevant notes are slathered atop every song. Some of this can be explained by the absence of one former Byrd. In turning the band towards their country-rock bent and then splitting after less than a year, Gram Parsons left a hole that could never really be filled, not even by the nimble-fingered Clarence White. Their take on the Louvin Brothers' classic "Christian Life," for instance, is ragged, but not right. But the CD certainly has merit for more than just archivists and obsessives: the straight-ahead folk-rock material does shine with the "Nashville West" flavorings. There's a fiery "King Apathy III"; a revelatory, subtle version of "Bad Night at the Whiskey"; and a truly emotional take of "He Was a Friend of Mine," especially poignant a year after the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Bobby Kennedy. --Mike McGonigal
