8 Miles High - Home Movie of The Byrds Unearthed! video free download

EIGHT MILES HIGH typifies the '60s more than any other song.

Would 8Mhi been as important, would it have made the imprint it did had Gene Clark recorded it instead of the Byrds? It's hard to rewrite history for people who lived it.

I agree but... hopefully, as with me, it'll make 'em find "Dark Side of the Moon" to be tedium beyond endurance :)

Gene Clark lyrics with help from Brian Jones! Music by the band of course so it's a credited to all!

I interviewed John Peel in 2005. An excerpt: STEVE: Syd Barrett? JOHN: I never met him. STEVE: You're kidding. All his best recordings are from Peel Sessions. JOHN: But you would try to avoid meeting them. You didn't want to be disappointed. One time I hosted a concert with The Byrds, who were complete—and I don't use the word lightly, but please put it down—cunts. The most obnoxious people I've ever met in my life. They wouldn't speak. And when you spoke to them, it was as if you weren't there.

The sound and pilot patter at the beginning of the video was incorporated into "The Lear Jet Song" heard on The Byrds' "Fifth Dimension" album.

Youtube has software that scans the videos, and if it detects video that is copyright-protected, they may pull it down. I wish I'd gotten to see it myself.

The evening of the day they landed in London, Crosby went by himself to EMI's Abbey Road studios where the Beatles were recording Sgt. Pepper. Too bad McGuinn didn't go too, and take his camera - the film would have been priceless.

Growing Bolder's video of Roger discussing the film, plus the film itself, is longer than 10 minutes, which is the max length that Youtube allows.

Very informative. A must see for any Byrds fan!

McGuinn has never received his due recognition... I think this song should be required listening for newbie's BEFORE hearing 'Dark Side of the Moon'. ps: ..and smile pilgrim when you say "Hippy" Thanks & Full 5's~
