This is one of those songs that sticks with you over the years. Its meaning deepens over time. As my eyesight fades, clarity becomes sharper. I am now one of those old people, yet inside still only a child.
Amen my fellow new found friend. 69 now and i too was so much older then, but i'm thankfully younger than that now. Peace my friend. My tears have begun again. Where did our lives go? ss Vancouver BC
We wave the flag we wear the clothes we sing the songs wrapped in protest . It was a glorious spontaneous time gone in a blink of a eye ...........Byrd’s My Back Pages.
I was born in the ninties but I was always OBSESSED with the 60's and the hippie movement. The music of the 60's is like a time machine to me it makes me feel things not like music today .
@@mikehachey1282 Glad you enjoy the music of the 1960s. Yes I am still listening to the "oldies" of the 60s and 70s when I work out at the gym. Kudos to You Tube that enables nostalgic baby boomers like me to reminisce fond memories.
@@wc6785 the best era ever, in 3 years was invented all the rock genres that was developed in the 70's, there was a constantly competition of which band revolutionates more the music i was born at the end of the 90s
Brings back the days of flowers in my hair making beads and selling them at a swap meet with my Dad and Brother. ( Both in Heaven) Wearing a 22 brass bullet to show I hated the War and just enjoying my life eating plums on a sunny summer day, next year graduating class of S 1970. What times free concerts saw the Doors,,janis Jimi, driving Friday night to Hollywood after an awesome meal at the Malibu Sea Lion THOSE WERE THE DAYS OF THE ENDLESS SUMMER.
The production on this is impeccable. It has withstood the test of time. McGuinn's lead vocals AND lead guitar, including his searing solo, lift the track to another level.
When I graduated from high school in 1973, I bought a 1967 Mustang GT. It had a factory 8 track player. My first 8 track purchase was The Byrds Greatest Hits. I'm now retired. Last night while driving my Corvette with the top off, Mr. Tambourine Man came on 60's XM .I was in the country. on a winding road. I had the volume high. Memories.
I loved the Byrds and I loved the Hollies so it was easy for me to follow David Crosby and Graham Nash into Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. In the end, it was Stephen Stills lyrics that I appreciated the most.
I was visiting a friend at U of Penn and they performed as McGuinn, Clark, and Hillman after years of breakup. It was still magical and was a treat of a lifetime now that I am 68 years old. Thanks guys for the memories. 😊
Turned 73 and surviving this Bizarre COVID-19 Nightmare of Surrealism. Got my booster and following the CDC Guidelines. Glad I have this music and my art to help cope thru this crazy road of life.
• The day we walked away from the philosophical spiritual and intellectual wisdom of the 1960s, we ditched a vital wisdom that is so VITAL to the soul!!! 😞 • This song ( like Bob Dylan’s version of Mr. Tambourine Man ) speaks in metaphors and verbal “imagery.” Life’s magical shadows. • The messages in these songs are even more pertinent to TODAY than yesterday!!!
Just listened to the Dylan, Petty, Harrison, Young version, and they were great. All those legends together. But NO ONE does this Bob Dylan song justice the way the Byrds did.
Like the finest wine, this music only gets better with time. There's only one vintage in a century that's the finest. This honour goes to the zeitgeist of the 60's, the generation that created classic, rock & roll. Come this June, I'm rollin in at 74, Rockin in the Free World!. 🎸🎶
Putting aside "Lay Lady Lay," all of the Byrds' cover songs of Bob Dylan are stellar. They could all be compiled into an album and I'd make one killer set.
Ahhh the 60s. This came out on late 65. Times were changing civilly, and socially , and a big anti- Vietnam War tune. Roger Maguinn and his granny glasses, was 8 yr.old when this came out.
Crimson flames tied through my ears Rolling high and mighty traps Pounced with fire on flaming roads Using ideas as my maps....... Greatest opening ever. Bob Dylan's genius in writing about life, matched perfectly with the Byrds presentation, made for the magical memories, in the context of those days, for those of us who were blessed to have lived through it.
Starting with a great Dylan song of course, they hit it out of the park with that Ric 12, great harmonies, and some magic I guess. That sound has never been duplicated, they owned it. McGuinn is kind of underrated with his contribution to music.
My Soundtrack of Vietnam An-khe Tet offensive 1968-69. Most of the music of the time. This was my theme song. Every one had a great stereo equipment. I would listen to each of these groups on my time off or on American Force RADIO Vietnam. The First Rock and Roller war
Wave the Flag Of independence . Truly the golden years of optimism , cars, music, free love, question everything .........live for today .Peace. To my Brothers and Sisters who took the ride with me into the 70s ....Some have fallen .
As a kid I listened to country western because that's what my parents listened to. Then my older brother got me to listen to Elvis. Then my younger sister got me to listen to the Beatles. From there in the sixties I listened to the groups that were great to hear. What a great time to be in as a teenager.
"I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now." I'll be 74 next month and I'm getting younger all the time! Thanks Byrds, who I saw live in Toronto in the spring of '66!
Im also 71 it was the best music we grew up will never ever get that again! Anita Jackson, SA
This was our music in the 10th grade. We had it good, didn't we?
Best cover of one of Bob Dylan's best songs! I LOVE THE BYRDS!!!
Chimes of freedom, Tamburine man,The times...,All I really..., great cover !
Turning 71 soon. So lucky to have this music as part of my life. Still have all my old vinyl. A lot! Wonder time to have lived.
69, on June 14...
Mein Gott, waren wir Jung. Bin in paar Wochen 75 und liebe die Musik immer noch
72 next month I hear you brother what a great time to grow up with the best music I have tons of vinyl that I still listen to
75 here and the Byrds, The Who and Cream were my life!!!
I'm 67. Makes me cry...
They covered Dylan brilliantly....1 of best songs ever...
This is one of the greatest songs ever!!!!
I understand the chorus line but the rest of the song is far too clever for me!
I can tell the words are great though and a great tune too!
Indeed...listening since 1960s...
Beautiful song the Byrds won't be forgotten their were a important group with almost outmaneuver the beatles, they were their really competence
I am glad that i grew up in that era the music says it all
This is one of those songs that sticks with you over the years. Its meaning deepens over time. As my eyesight fades, clarity becomes sharper. I am now one of those old people, yet inside still only a child.
I discovered this song at 25, now this year. Crazy, ain't it?
Massive Bob Dylan here

@@telecomex Indeed.
Our brain always thinks we are still young while the servant of the mind, the body dies.
You've been reading my mind! 🙂 Wasn't it absolutely amazing that we were there when all these classics came out!
Where has the time gone? So hate to see the fabulous rock legends leaving this world. There will never be music like this again.
Norm - you said it .
We wave the flag we wear the clothes we sing the songs wrapped in protest . It was a glorious spontaneous time gone in a blink of a eye ...........Byrd’s My Back Pages.
Not to sound depressing, but this is part of my funeral music. If Roger’s Rickenbacker doesn’t wake me up, then I’ve definitely gone! 😀
Godspeed.
Perhaps the greatest remake of all time. The Byrds finest.
One of their best songs. At 77 I never get tired of hearing it.
Yes , my friend me too at 68 yrs it's the same for me too , a beautiful song 🎵
yes my friend 、I'm 66.
Written by Bob Dylan
@@glenbeltz9740 So was Mr. Tambourine Man.
I'm 72 and this was a song popular during a very dark time of my life. Where has the time gone?
It's been a blast living through the 60s. So much musical talents then. Life was good. Glad I was part of that generation.
shore as hell got that right, think I'm goin back

The oceans may dry up and the mountains may fall into ruin, but this song will never be forgotten through the endless ages of heaven.
❤❤❤
It's a song that ages. The older it gets the better it sounds.
That's very appropriate when you consider the lyrics.
Yes.. Ike a bottle of wine🍷👍
So much talent in that band that went on...even this song
The best version of this amazing Dylan song. When I first heard this as a kid, it ripped my heart out and then put it back in.
A wonderful Byrds song. What a band they were!
Brings back the days of flowers in my hair making beads and selling them at a swap meet with my Dad and Brother.

You just painted a beautiful little story!
A tremendous writing achievement by Dylan. Beautifully executed by The Byrds.
Yes I think 🤔
Is a style of Bob Dylan
menh
the best song Dylan ever wrote - a work of art ...
Bob should have stuck to writing and McGinn and co the arrangement and singing
A phenomenal song back in the day that was ahead of it’s time.
The production on this is impeccable. It has withstood the test of time. McGuinn's lead vocals AND lead guitar, including his searing solo, lift the track to another level.
70 and still living in the 60s music can’t groove with today music and I’ve really really tried but not happening.
Hey that's because there's NO guitars; all synthy crap!
Written by Dylan...performed by the Byrds. Absolutely magical!
Yes and I think the unreleased alternate version that is on the CD Younger Than yesterday with Bonus Tracks is even more compelling. It's brilliant.
🎉❤
Roger McGuinn's 12-string rickenbacker solo at 1:48 is absolutely stunning 💫🎸
agree! great solo on the Ric 12 string.
Short, but sweet and full of feeling!
My dream guitar! He had a very unique style. God bless. M.F.McCorriston U.K. 🍀🙏🍀
That Byrds signature harmony , often imitated but never duplicated !!!!! 🤩
When I graduated from high school in 1973, I bought a 1967 Mustang GT. It had a factory 8 track player. My first 8 track purchase was The Byrds Greatest Hits. I'm now retired. Last night while driving my Corvette with the top off, Mr. Tambourine Man came on 60's XM .I was in the country. on a winding road. I had the volume high. Memories.
I had to dig to find this, I keep raising the volume on my laptop. Trust me, it's a good sign!
Nothing today comes Close. The poetry is perfect. The 12 string is magical.
The Byrds music could be written today and be totally viable as great music. Timeless.
This is a cover of bob dylan song, sir.
@@muhammadrifqi7308 with an arrangement composed by the Byrds. Bobby didn't write that electric organ part in your right ear,dig?
Saw the Byrds live several times thanks for the great music
Just turned 70.
Was a mid teen in 1966, smoking weed, and protesting the Viet Nam Conflict when this protest song was popular.
Best music ever.
Nothing better than listening to songs of the 60’s and The Byrds!
This was not just a song , but a time and era long gone . real musicians
At 70 I still enjoy this !
Humanly correct!!-Girl from the 60’s.
The past is present in the now
Vietnam era❤❤❤❤❤❤ rip soldiers lvn peace❤..........
Awesome.the poet wrote it but the Byrds made it into this classic.
Have the feeling we are all old Byrds -fans on this page. They were important for probably all of us. I am 70 year old Byrds fan still love them joerg
I loved the Byrds and I loved the Hollies so it was easy for me to follow David Crosby and Graham Nash into Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. In the end, it was Stephen Stills lyrics that I appreciated the most.
My God....the music, the memories.....don't think it could get any better!
76 now but what a time it was we were so lucky
Tengo 66 años y cuando tenia como 16 años escuchaba y escucho esta bella música, la época del amor
Oh!! Why must all good things come to an end!
We are products of our era and environment. It's what defines us.
This song was part soundtrack to my once young life and still.
But you're younger than that now..
I was visiting a friend at U of Penn and they performed as McGuinn, Clark, and Hillman after years of breakup. It was still magical and was a treat of a lifetime now that I am 68 years old. Thanks guys for the memories. 😊
God I bought all their stuff from 15yrs old, now 74 their still brilliant
Time goes a little too fast.
Just turned 70 as well . Ohhhh to have such classic music now , “ I was so much older then I’m younger than that now “
The song can bring you back immediately.
Absolutely majestic. Harmonies, guitar solo, wandering bass, crisp drumming - all wonderful, sublime.
Perfect marriage between the poet Dylan and a musically talented group to simplify it and perform it well.
A timeless masterpiece.
Your comment sums up everything that needs to be typed / written / said about this wonderful tune
this was the most magical time for music that has latest generations - was glad to have lived it ...
Long live the Byrds! My Back Pages. So true! Music for all eternity!!! Love you Roger!!! RIP David Crosby. Thank you for your every word! ❤️🙏❤️
Love and peace ✌ guitar and vocals, harmonies, bass,percussion ===all heart and soul and beautiful unique timeless never aging ❤❤❤
At age 72 and still livin the dream...
One of my dad's favorite songs. R.I.P. DAD
Turned 73 and surviving this Bizarre COVID-19 Nightmare of Surrealism. Got my booster and following the CDC Guidelines. Glad I have this music and my art to help cope thru this crazy road of life.
Hang in there, Denny!! I’m 70 and have avoided it so far!! Hope I can avoid it altogether!! Are 60’s music is where it’s AT!!!
Happy to say this Covid vaccine poison did not enter my body
THE BEATLES FAVORITE AMERICAN BAND THE BYRDS
How true this song is the older you get the younger you become,how poetic
I’m still listening to this after 35 years, 55 now
Brilliant band so overlooked
Trust the Byrds to take anything raw and chisel it to perfection.
I’m 67 and loved the 60s music
me too at 67 myself.
Still the best after all these years, what a band!
The 12 string rules!
Especially Rickenbackers!!!
Roger and Bob, the perfect confluence of song writing and execution. Flawless.
Super fine music from great band..I'm 69 and appreciate the messages in the song..😊
The Byrds are forever.........Thank you! MEE OW WEE!!
jamais haverá uma época como essa pra musica mundial,os miticos anos 60 e 70..;

You're right. I love his songs that I kept playing over and over again, The Byrds sang wisely and beautiful songs. How are you doing Maria?
Im 57 and just discovered this one. As i review my life, I find this amazing piece apt and moving
I Love This Song My Back Packs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤❤. Love. ❤❤❤
this song makes me forget about all the stuff going on and think about what it used to be.
Thank God for the mission district! The Bay area! And the musicians that brought down the war machine!
Putting aside "Lay Lady Lay," all of the Byrds' cover songs of Bob Dylan are stellar. They could all be compiled into an album and I'd make one killer set.
Might be one of the best songs ever written
Ahhh the 60s. This came out on late 65. Times were changing civilly, and socially , and a big anti- Vietnam War tune. Roger Maguinn and his granny glasses, was 8 yr.old when this came out.
Roger sang this at Dylan's 30th anniversary concert, it is one of my favourites, the concert is a treasure for us Dylan fans and Byrds fans.
Each time i listen to it, it makes me cry.
RIP David Crosby, shine on you crazy diamond ✨✨✨ 1/19/23
one of my favorite tracks from this great album.
OMG those stunning vocal harmonies! 💙♥️💛💜
Crimson flames tied through my ears
Rolling high and mighty traps
Pounced with fire on flaming roads
Using ideas as my maps.......
Greatest opening ever.

Another great American band
Turning 70 in a few days; glad I still have the music , love the old hippies, love and peace.
Godspeed to the Croz! A true free spirit, the endless harmony continues...
In 200 years, those who listen to Jehovah now, will be singing this chorus then, for real.
So glad I was a teenager in the 60s, the Byrds, Yardbyrds, Hendrix, Zappa, Joni Mitchell, Led Zepeliin, Dylan, Van Morrison, The Beatles; ....
Brother Carl best decade ever and the times sure have changed since then I know for a thought of it well peace to you kiddo😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
& The Animals, Stones, Dave Clark Five, Janis,,,
Greatest ever made

I'm glad I was born in the '80s and still have 40 years left to listen to these great oldies.
My favorite!!!!!

Some of the best music came out when we were mired in a nasty war . . .
"I was so much older then, I'm younger than that now." I'll be 74 next month and I'm getting younger all the time! Thanks Byrds, who I saw live in Toronto in the spring of '66!
Were they any good?
@@tony22745 Yes but it was a weird venue, an outdoor soccer stadium, and they played after the game!
A great taste of our beloved 1960's. There will never be another era like it.
Wowsers. Thank you Byrd men. Thank you Mr Dylan. When I get stranded on that island, I want this one with me.
