If I have to go into an old folks home I want to be allowed to listen to this kind of music. Represents my life and so many others. Magnificent
I think this is the best version of Eight Miles High they recorded. 16 plus minutes of clear jamming 🎶 🎵.
One of my favorite albums...all time
Mine too
Back in 1970 I was 14 yrs.old when I heard this on my f.m. radio station. I immediately went out and bought the album, which I still have to this day! Great jam. ☮️ everyone....
Me too
The bassist and drummer are one.
Great version of an already great tune. I still have the original record that I found at a garage sale back in the 70's. First time I heard this jam on my turntable it knocked me right on my ass. It still holds up to this day.
Clarence White was a fuckin monster. He's in fine form right here.
The rest of the album is pretty damn good also.
Grateful birds, great jamming🎉
Scorching jam. The guitar is RAUNCHY and RAW.
They are in sync on this cut - if you listen to some of the other shows, this song sounds nothing like this - this is the jazzier, best version ever.
no its not....they have live versions that are superior to this
It is very subjective@@stevedonahue7956-----I heard them do 5 different versions (I worked @ The Fillmore East from 1968-1971. Strangely enough, @ that time I heard them do this very version (recorded for pressing) @ C.W. Post College right after Fillmore & this version was stellar (The sound system @ CW. Post was brand new). This was Roger, Clarence White, Skip Batton & Gene Parsons or Gene Clark(?) & maybe it was the state of the art sound system, or my date. But it was breathtaking....just enjoy!!!

Clarence White's talented guitar-work is why I still love this version even in 2017!And I'm a
drummer!
the drumming is better on other versions
@@thomasday5215 if you did the same drum patterns for 15 minutes it would get boring a.f. no matter what style... thats but one reason why this transcends
Yeah, Clarence White and The Byrds' drummer at the time Gene Parsons had excellent musical and mutual chemistry.
Now this is definitely eight miles high in terms of musical energy and creativity!!!!!!!!
Great jam. Best live version of EMH.
great musicians awesome music
This is my favorite live version ever - thanks for posting!
best version ever, no present day jam band could pull this off, i mean NO.
BLOODY GREAT
Magic jam
Some of the best damn jamming there is!
The definitive version of eight miles high.
Unanimous approval is hard to argue with.
PRICELESS!
Later version....Best jam band ever??? This was better than the dead or allmans. Ahh...their influence on psychadelic.folk. country...jazz rock forms is undeniable.
People may be comparing this version to "Dark Star" by the Dead, but musically, I find it more comparable to "Mountain Jam" by The Allmans. You know, from the Eat A Peach album.
@@dw89music73 exactly.
Trippy!
this should have thousands of likes.....wtf is wrong with ppl...
While The Byrds were high on musical creativity, other people were just high on drugs and didn't/don't take the time to listen to such artistic brilliance like that which we hear here!
this version led me to listen jazz
A killer version.
I got into Allan Holdsworth because of them.
Short vocals at about 12:50, or so....
A pity they didn't do the full 3:58 vocals....
Vocals 12:11-12:37

It is a great version, but not complete without the end brilliant chorus that I saw in 1970 at the University of Miami.
Love the early byrds alot more.😢

The intro ad was just plain painful!
Granted, it was a long time ago when I first heard this double album and I'm sure I had tears in my eyes or maybe it was the surrounding smoke but I came to the quick, dreadful realization that my favorite group of all time, The Byrds, had devolved into something truly horrendous!
you will get over it. Clarence White is one of the best guitarists to ever have graced the stage.
No doubt he was and I hope its helped his fans deal his tragic and unnecessary death as well as the fact that he was part of the rolling roster of McGuinn and Friends, who through the the marijuana haze of stadiums everywhere, apparently convinced hordes of late to the game folks with scant knowledge of The Byrds that they were America's Ten Years After.
@@rogermurray8553 I got to see him three times. He was killed by one of his fans.
Huh? I thought he was killed by a drunk driver, although I guess he could've been both fan and drunk driver. Are you sure you're not confusing Clarence with John Lennon?? And I did see these Byrds live. In a hockey arena with about 8 other groups who were rapidly losing their relevance in the rock/pop world. One of the most depressing spectacles I've ever witnessed. And had I known I'd wait another 10 years to hear The Clash and rediscover my love of music, I don't know to what depths I might've sunk.
@@rogermurray8553 Yes he was. From what I know and read he was loading equipment into the back of a van after a gig and an Asian women who was drunk and a fan pinned him between her car and the van. I could easily be wrong but I read that somewhere at one time. I was a big fan and a guitar player and I read a lot about him. Doesn't mean it is all true.
:D
14:38 country jazz rock
I wonder if this was rehearsed, or just a jam!
Yes.
both
they were high, that's all !
@@laurentdubois2268 Eight miles high!
WOW! Is this available on CD??
yes on the Byrds (untitled- unissued):en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Untitled_(The_Byrds_album)
When does the song start?
they were jamming, apparently, then this songs starts up...
Just after the 12:00 mark.
A música em si é linda, mas os Birds se perdem em introduções repetidas e intermináveis, solos intermediários idem. O que era para ser excelente, ficou uma merda. Pena.
You are a lost soul...👎
This isn't Eight Miles High,… it's just a high fallutin wank jam.
the singing is there albeit abbreviated. :)
Goddamn this sucks. I really like the Byrds up until about '68 or '69, but this is just some wannabe free jazz bullshit
Well, actually, Eight Miles High was largely inspired by a very famous Jazz musician named John Coltrane.
