Eight miles high
And when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street
That say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own

Nowhere is
There warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain-gray town
Known for its sound
In places, small faces unbound

Round the squares
Huddled in storms
Some laughing, some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes
And black limousines
Some living, some standing alone

Totally original guitar solos for starters.

Drums so good. Understated and tight backdrop for the jangles and dissonance of the strings.

I wouldn't mind adding a 12-string Rickenbacker to my collection. It would lend the right quality to those eerily still, candle-lit winter nights when the fire is crackling, the amps are humming, and my mind is someplace warm.

The secret, I think, is not wanting to sound dissonant, but giving a fuck about being popular or not.

Back in the mid 60's The Byrds appeared and changed my life - especially this track.  I eventually met Roger McGuinn over here in the UK, early 70's - got his autograph on vinyl.

The track sounds just as good today - doesn't date.

Thanks to wonderful Radio Paradise for the music they put out there ...........

Nope, in '65 I was traveling across country with my family and this was so big it got on the radio wherever in the Midwest we were.
In '68, we had just moved again, so I was stuck at home with the Chicago police riot, developing a giant chip on my shoulder that still surfaces occasionally.

Oddly, I chose this time to try to listen just to the drums.  some of it. is buried in the mix,  so I'll try again in a moment with headphones, but what I heard was outstanding.

I JUST heard Crosby say (from a 1966 interview), "It always feels like we just landed [the Lear Jet] as we finish playing 8 Miles High".

As I caught the last part of this playing, I JUST finished listening to a 1966 interview of McGuinn and Crosby talk  about writing  8 Miles High, choosing the Byrds name, and just finishing the whole Fifth Dimension album.  I also listened to the whole album for the first time.  The album was the Columbia "Legacy" version @1996 by Sony.com.  It appears to have come from a single CD, ripped at 256k but I don't think it was remastered.  Further, I just listened to RP's FLAC version.  RP's version I just heard was "many miles higher" in quality.   I was not impressed with the 256k CD quality of  8 Miles High at all.  The mixing on the rest of the album, as much of that era's music was not great.  But then most listening was done on mono AM radio.  RP's version made me feel better about me rating this cut as a 10, and well worthy.

The album came with 5 bonus tracks, which included that interview.  McGuinn and Crosby sounded just like any kids that were on 18-20 years old in the 60's.  What was very cool, is the album came with 18 pages of commentary and pics.  There's also a FLAC version of the 11 track original out there, which is what RP just played?

McGuinn lives locally here in Orlando and is still playing gigs nationwide.  He's got a special 6 string he co-produced that supposedly can provide the sound of the 12 string RB... and, is only about $5,600!

Yes, it contributes to the unique sonic space of this song.  

Folks like to argue whether this song is about doing "drugs" or flying in a jet airliner but I would like to think it is a celebration of astral travelling.

Concert Review: Ex-Byrds Deliver Stirring ‘Sweetheart of the Rodeo’ Tribute

At the Theatre at Ace Hotel, Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman were joined by Marty Stuart — and, for this tour opening, Mike Campbell — to celebrate the 50th anniversary of not just an album, but the country-rock movement it started.

Yeah but no. The song is about flying to London (eight miles high) and dealing with the British press and fans. I've heard that yes, the song didn't get much airplay when it was first released because people thought it was about getting high...Gene Clark (who wrote much of the song) and David Crosby both now admit that the song was partly influenced by drug use.

Not long after Crosby's 70th birthday, I saw him & Nash in concert.  The overall show was excellent!  One of my favorite moments was right at the start, as Crosby & Nash took the stage with their band, an electric guitar hanging from Crosby's neck, his silver mane glowing in the spotlights.  "Might as well get this one out of the way...." he said, and launched into the opening chords of Eight Miles High.  The band picked up his energy and off they went, soaring through the auditorium.  It may as well have been 1967 again.  A wonderful moment!

Really liked the 12 string.... and always the harmonies

I remembered it in '65...but that was when regions released music at different times...

Now it's all timed for the Grammies and the bump that a nomination receives in sales, play, etc.

From the AllMusicGuide bio:

the Byrds suffered a major loss right after "Eight Miles High" with the departure of Gene Clark, their primary songwriter and, along with McGuinn, chief lead vocalist. The reason for his resignation, ironically, was fear of flying . . .

Gotta love it.

A great deal of music "goes off" as it ages - (especially many tunes by The Byrds) - not this tune so much, though.  Anyhow, it doesn't mean that one should not listen to it, but Roger McGuinn is not Mozart.
