McGuinn, Clark & Hillman - Surrender to me TopPop

McGuinn, Clark & Hillman came about in 1977, when three former members of the original Byrds — Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark, and Chris Hillman — decided to try and update their sound in a new context. McGuinn and Hillman had played together longer than any of the other original members, with six albums (and innumerable concerts) across four years during the 1960s, and as late as 1967 they’d tried without success to reintegrate Gene Clark — the best songwriter among them and a superb singer, but also the first to leave — back into the band. Then, in early 1977, with each fronting his own band, they planned a joint tour of Europe promoting their own respective new releases. The Byrds were still idolized across Europe, even more so than in the United States, and ticket sales were brisk and press coverage enthusiastic. (All Music Guiude) This is a very rare performance of the band at the Toppop studios. In fact the only time Byrds legend Gene Clark visited the Netherlands.
