Concert Pick: Gene Clark 'No Other' tour, tonight at Union Transfer
A lost classic will be recreated.
The Gene Clark: No Other tour kicks off tonight at Union Transfer.
A number of illustrious indie-rock players, plus 67 year old folk-rock vet Iain Matthews, all gathered together by Alex Scally and Victoria Legrand of Baltimore dream pop band Beach House, will play No Other, the lost classic 1974 solo album by Clark, the Byrds founding member who wrote "Eight Miles High" and "Feel A Whole Lot Better."
My interview with Scally about the endeavor, which is only scheduled to happen four times, with the Philadelphia show being the first, is in last Friday's Inquirer Wkend section, and here.
Tickets for the show are available here. Before the band, which features members of The Walkmen, Fleet Foxes and Grizzly Bear, hits the stage, the documentary The Byrd Who Flew Alone about Clark, who died in 1991, will be shown.
You can listen to No Other in its entirety below.
