Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark and Chris Hillman - and their star guest this evening, David Crosby - were all leading lights in The Byrds. During this unique performance, at San Francisco's intimate Boarding House, each of the main trio is given a chance to shine in a solo spotlight before reuniting for some great reprises of Byrds' classics. The ensemble is further bolstered by the welcome addition of David Crosby in an eight song tour-de-force to close a legendary show. The late Gene Clark kicks off proceedings with sterling renditions of Silver Raven, from his best-known solo album, 'No Other', and Release Me Girl, before turning over the stage to Chris Hillman. For his own turn centre-stage Hillman chooses to highlight two tracks that were originally included on the double-album, 'Manassas', Bound To Fall and It Doesn't Matter. Next up is the one constant member of the ever-changing Byrds line-ups, Roger McGuinn, who plays two songs most closely associated with him personally, Jolly Roger from his 1976 solo album, 'Cardiff Rose' and Ballad Of Easy Rider which was co-written with Bob Dylan. Next, the three principals combine for spell-binding reworkings of the highly evocative Chestnut Mare - originally from The Byrds' 1970 album, 'Untitled' - Thomas Jefferson Kaye's Crazy Ladies, and Gene Clark and Bernie Leadon's Train Leaves Here This Morning. Completing a quartet of masterful musicians, David Crosby joins the others for a tremendous journey through a selection of The Byrds' finest moments: their groundbreaking versions of Dylan's Mr. Tambourine Man and You Ain't Going Nowhere, Pete Seeger's Turn! Turn! Turn!, the iconic Eight Miles High and (So You Want To Be A) Rock n Roll Star and Gene's glorious Feel A Whole Lot Better. The ensemble also find time for a fine version of Knocking On Heaven's Door and Bye Bye Baby. Review: A fantastic, nearly unknown reunion concert - What a GREAT CD! Oh my God! This blows the Byrds reunion LP pn the Asylum label right out out of the water. Everybody is right on the mark; everybody gives it their all. Also of interest, there is no drummer, yet you don't miss the drumming. Despite the tiny type on the cover, David Crosby appears on quite a few of the cuts.If you are a Byrds fan, you truly need this CD. McGuinn, Hillmann, Crosby and especially Gene Clark get their moments in the limelight. I cannot recommend this CD enough. An excellent release. The only drawback is that Gene Clark's vocals are mixed way down on the first few cuts, almost as if his microphone was off and his vocals were being picked up by the other mics.Outside of that, I repeat, this a great CD. If you have the black box collection of The Byrds from around 1990, you are familiar with the three new cuts by McGuinn, Crosby and Hillmann. This CD is similar in feel, but has the blessed addition of Gene Clark. Review: More Historic, But Also Good - This is a historic recording of a reunion of all four of the original singer-songwriters of the Byrds. Once they really get going, they are very, very good. The vocal harmonies are great, especially Clark's backing vocal on "Chestnut Mare". Gene Clark's acoustic rhythm playing is highly personable, Chris Hillman is a virtuoso mandolin player, and Roger McGuinn's 12-string electric playing is unmistakable. Clark's beautiful "Crazy Ladies" was previously unavailable, and this group's version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" is a rarity. The bad news is that the cameo by David Crosby adds more confusion than value, the three solo sets are slightly underwhelming, most of the songs aren't well suited for mandolin, and the recording gets off to a bad start due to very bad sound quality. Musically, McGuinn & Clark were better as a duo, while MCH sounded much better as a full five piece rock band. Still, the sound problem is fixed midway through the first song and the recording is a very enjoyable listen, which shows the original Byrds as very good live performers. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IRAX5RK | | Best Sellers Rank | #411,306 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #171,258 in Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (101) | | Date First Available | March 15, 2014 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | All Access | | Manufacturer | All Access | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 5.71 x 4.96 x 0.47 inches; 3.67 ounces | ## Images ![Live At The Boarding House - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91lfSWEWG9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic, nearly unknown reunion concert *by J***Y on May 12, 2017* What a GREAT CD!

The label apparently used something like a third-generation copy of the radio broadcast and spared every expense in cleaning up the output. I have a 30-year-old vinyl bootleg of this performance, called "Doin' Alright for Old People," that sounds better than this CD. Still, the performance should be heard. And it would be nice if the three living participants and Gene Clark's estate saw some money for it. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/11543662-live-at-the-boarding-house](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/11543662-live-at-the-boarding-house) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
