Rod's Birthday Concert Recorded Live 8:30pm on April 29th 1969. (36th Birthday) Gatefold Album With Photo's & Information Side 1/Side 4 on Record 1, Side 2/Side 3 on Record 2 Tracks on this live recording have been taken from: [m362767 - A8 [r22136989 - A7, C7 & D8 [m611205 - A6 [m1244616 - D1 [m391923 - D3 & D4 [m352338 - We Stanyan Street & Other Sorrows - B4 Liner Notes: This album is a documentary of [a283844's birth day concert at [l280434, April 29, 1969. It may tell us why he is not only the best-selling and most influential poet-writer in America today, but a man whose singing and performing is so original that one might suspect him of stumbling out of another time. The list of what [a283844 has done with his life is staggering: Poet Classical composer Writer of film scores and screenplays Lumberjack Best-selling recording artist Outspoken critic of anything he likes or dislikes Entertainer Composer and lyricist of nearly 1000 songs Actor Cowboy Etc. But somehow, what Rod is doing with our lives is more important. He cares and sometimes he gets clobbered for it. Not on that Tuesday night in April. If you were there you know. Robert Sherman of the Times concluded his review of the concert by saying, "Mr. McKuen would be pleased to know that [a136445, the folk singer, had to spend much of the concert in the rear of the hall because, as she explained, 'I can't dance in my seat’.” As a human being, as a writer and in his performing, [a283844 is totally honest. It is perhaps a tribute to this honesty that even though he forgot some of his own lyrics during the concert and was still attempting to master a song he had written with [a10529 only days earlier, these forgotten lyrics and that less than-perfect performance of the new Mancini-McKuen song remain a part of this album. Far from flawing an otherwise perfect concert, they add to it. [a1235893
