Lee Clayton Rides Again

There is a nice thread here on Leaky Sparrow around a post that I wrote more than a year ago. So far, something like 17 comments around the life and music of Lee Clayton. I’m proud that you people took the opportunity of that short notice to exchange thoughts and information about that “unknown legend forgotten by most of Rock dictionaries”. Thanks very much to you all.
Here is the post: Lee Clayton Rides Alone (May 07, 2007)

Above is the ticket that I kept of the one and only occasion that I had to see Lee Clayton playing live. As you can see, it was in 1980, a stop in Paris during the European Tour promoting McGuinn-Clark-Hillman latest release. Lee Clayton was opening the evening. I have a quiet precise memory of his performance: his set was equal to the one that gave McGuinn and Hillman – Gene Clark refused to tour in Europe – in length and in quality, maybe more…

Thanks again for your interest and collaboration; it helps me trying to keep up the “good” work with freedom and without accepting money in return for any advertising space!

Gene Clark - Live In 1975

When Gene Clark’s masterpiece, No Other, was released in 1974, critics disapproved the overproduced result. The ex-Byrds career was knocked down. Years later, in 2003, the CD was re-released in Europe by Warner Music, remastered and expanded; the album was elected as the best reissued CD of the year by all the music magazines.
Silverado ’75 is an unplugged testimony of what Gene Clark did to the songs of No Other alone on stage in Denver (well almost, he is backed by Roger White on guitar and Duke Bardwell on bass). It’s touching, moving, the mastering is perfect. Only for hardcore fans and the others (Collectors' Choice Music).
