Eight Miles High--Gene's version (by Gene Clark live solo in Liberty, NY 10/8/1988)

Skip Way here with: Eight Miles High (Gene's version) ~ my riffs on a photo taken by my sister Andrea. The soundtrack is Eight Miles High performed live solo by Gene Clark at a venue in Liberty, New York on 10/8/1988. This song, written by Gene Clark with contributions by Jim (later Roger) McGuinn and David Crosby was on the Byrds' 3rd album Fifth Dimension (1966), most of which was recorded after Gene, the band's primary songwriter, had departed. However, here, Gene performs his original version of the song as he presented it to The Byrds before modifications were made to it. Thanks to Craig Trexler whose photo of Gene appears in my video thumbnail. Click on the "X" to close the ad, if any.
