- Roger McGuinn, Gene Clark and David Crosby end their show at the Boardinghouse, San Francisco with Eight Miles High.
December 8th, 1977.
Fairly certain the picture is not from this show (no drums at this show), but it is certainly around that period (Crosby joined them and Chris Hillman a couple of times in 1977/78). For this show, Crosby essentially replaced Hillman, doing a two song solo set and then sitting in for the joint part.
That's Gene with the "Almost don't need a microphone..." comment during Roger's opening solo.
I've uploaded the full concert here - • McGuinn & Clark w/ Dav...
Rest in peace David Crosby.
Rest in peace Gene Clark.
Rest in peace Mike Clarke.
The Byrds - One of my favorite 60's bands.
Nobody can play a 12 string like McGuinn. Wonderful harmony"s
Agreed
I'd put my money on Leo Kottke.....
Leadbelly
Among the more current music artists, who plays a 12 string guitar as their main instrument?
John Denver's version of "Bells of Rhymney' live stunned me. Who knew? ua-cam.com/video/zHZgIlYSgiA/v-deo.html
We saw a small ad in The S.F. Chronicle, drove up from Santa Cruz with some friends and had an amazing time with a couple hundred other Byrds fans in the intimate Boarding House. KSAN broadcast the show so there is much better sounding audio out there.
How cool! The band and the crowd seems really into it. I bet there was a palpable good vibe to the whole affair. That's one of those events you walk out of saying you're very, very happy that you decided to go!
Ksan was amazing
I saw them at the El Mocambo in Toronto on Clark's birthday. He shared a bit of his birthday present with me. 😊 One of the greatest nights of my life.
Rest in Peace David Crosby
Amen to that.
A singing voice from the heavens only to be fully appreciated when he was a Byrd. Pity about the internal strife. They had the talent and creativity that rivalled REM's and they could've endured and so prospered for an equally lengthy period of time.
First time I've ever heard this version. Great!
No harmony ever touched what McGuinn Clark and Crosby did together😌
The Duo gigs that Roger Mcguinn & Gene Clark did in late ‘77 & early ‘78 just before MCH became a thing, have some great harmonies. Their voices together complemented each other really nicely. It was their recognition of that complimentary sound that brought them together as foundational Byrds, along with a shared vision / awareness of how the “ new sounds” the Beatles had just brought to the fore, could perhaps be applied to material/genres they were already familiar with plus inspiring them to write their own sings, which Gene Clark had already been doing for some time.
Their sound together was also what incited Crosby to want to join them , creating that Trio of Voices. 3 uniquely identifiable voices that worked beautifully together. 💖
Gene Clark the real star.
You're not kidding?!
Clark I love but I saw McGuinn solo live and he was the Byrds.
Finally, a fine version of "Eight Miles High" to inhale like fine wine. Ah, what might have been if not for drugs and egos.
Have to be grateful for what we do have. I also wonder if we would have that, without drugs and egos?
@@sharpvidtube With drugs and egos The Doors had focus and the wisdom of 'we're all in this together.' Others, sadly did not. Nor CCR.
Wait, what? The DOORS, of all people, are held up as role models? Jimbo? Okayyyyyyy
@@moloch2007 They were unified from the start. Even with Morrison writing most lyrics, he wisely let all band members share in their residuals. No fighting egos like CCR, no disputes over writing credits like the Beach Boys. Get it?
@@coerfjoe1 yeah I guess they fought less, but in my mind they were nowhere near as talented - prominently including Morrison - than the hype. Neither were CSNY, to me - I preferred Buffalo Springfield. And Neil alone. Then again, what do I know…sorry to engage in pointless online persiflage. Glad the Doors pooled the royalties, though, I guess. The Band didn’t, creating all kinds of conflicts, but they were much more talented.
David had that voice
THREE unique musicians; blend also unique...
Everyone is unique by definition.
Good find
RIP Gene and David.
Great harmonies.
Es increíble,tengo 68 años y recién hace un mes descubrí está canción de birds y es sencillamente fabulosa ,me transporta a mi niñez!!
Peace on you David Crosby.
Peace on you Gene Clark.
Nicely unique rendition.
This is lovely.
I like this version but so far my favorite take on this song is one by Chris Hillman and Herb Pedersen which is on UA-cam. Chris came out of his shell and became quite the singer and player. I also think Herb Pedersen is right up there as one of the best at singing harmony in this genre of music!
All due respect to Chris and Herb but there's no one on the planet who comes close to presenting this classic song like the three gentlemen pictured here. Gene wrote it, David's the greatest high harmony singer in rock history and Roger was at his most brilliant on this one, on record but in this live performance as well. This is unassailably sacred stuff. Cover versions never rise above that definition.
Check out Golden Earring's acoustic version on The Naked Truth concert.
@@davidmurray2539 Your reply nailed it!
@@labluvver Totally with you there. Golden Earring deserve gold medals for having the courage to tackle a song with that high degree of difficulty and creating something that, in its own acoustic way, had an energy and "life" that, let's say, it shares with the original. Personally I was completely, unexpectedly knocked out by it!
@labluvver but Golden Earring sucks
I had seen crosby steals and nash just a week earlier in Oklahoma City? Thanksgiving evening, nineteen seventy seven?
wunder , wunderbar so etwas gibt es nie wieder ...
Tough to do a great song badly, and I'm not saying this is done badly, but the original is truly a great song. So far ahead of its time, the vocals were just superb, McGuinn sounded like a sitar and a guitar all at the same time, everyone was just perfect, and Michael Clarke was never better. He drove the fuck out of that song. It never gets old.
They were slightly out of tune, here and there.
Not an impressive version generally.
Clark and Crosby could have achieved much more had they not been hooked on drugs and booze.
You don't say !🙃🙃
RIP Croz
I love Gene Clark's music. You can keep the other two.
HIs post Byrds recordings are great. He just didn't have the brand recognition that the other two did I suppose.
Say what you will about Croz, he could harmony sing like no other, get it ? Its a pun
No other…
Was this impromptu? Must not have been rehearsed. Sounds great nonetheless.
Ethereal harmonies.
Best live version I've heard where's it from? 😳
I read the description to find out
Post Flight Awesome
For what it's worth...
❤
The greatest 12-string guitarist is Jorma Kaukonen. McGuinn cannot play with the detail necessary as in 8 Miles High. Jorma K’s album “Quah” is a masterpiece which has not had the recognition it deserves. The standout on that album is the song “Genesis”.
Roger had better days. JK’s great, sure. When I listen to this, I don’t think about the instruments. It’s the odd combination of personalities with imagination. If only someone could have kept D.C. from ruining everyone else’s day…?

Go?
Sounds like a funeral dirge.
