Yeh, born 1953. Grew up with Beatles, Stones, Deep Purple, Yes. Watched music become something amazing. What a long strange trip its been.
51,I know what you mean brother,still rainin'.
Born in 54, and yes the music was that good, and better then people today, who weren't around, can imagine.
Born in 1962. A little too late. I remember a lot of cool stuff but have only learned about a lot more. Greatest music of all time!
Except maybe OLD blues... :-)
born 48, played all this stuff in a band. wonderful.
born 1965 and I remember going to the bank with my mom on Saturdays in 1970 to cash my Dad's pay check, and Beatles music was on the radio in the car as we went around Loop 610 in Houston... the radio host would play a commercial where they would sing "the biiiiig 610!" because it was 610 AM radio same as the loop... LoL! and then they would play "Yellow Submarine" and I thought this song was exclusively made for kids just like me!
RIP the three members of The Byrds
David Crosby (August 14, 1941 - January 18, 2023), aged 81
Gene Clark (November 17, 1944 - May 24, 1991), aged 46
Michael Clarke (June 3, 1946 - December 19, 1993), aged 47
You will be remembered as legends.
Who would've guessed that Crosby would out live the other two?
What the hell happened to Gene & Michael that took 'em out so young?
@@onetrueslave Gene died from a heart attack and Michael died from liver failure.
@@Frequentfoul Croz did for sure.
WHAT ABOUT CLARENCE?
Now this drummer is a bass player's dream. Amazing interaction with the bass player. The bass player has amazing stamina.
Just so tight!
This might just be the finest bass/drum rhythm section ever
too far man@@mikemissry8025
Turn up the base players amp It is barely heard here
You are right good stuff😂
So, thankful to have been a teenager during this era.
BORN IN 54 LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE BROUGHT UP WITH THIS MUSIC PLAYING IN MY EAR, 69 TODAY AND STILL LISTENING TO IT, BLOODY EPIC. PEACE TO YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. ✌️😎🏴
Right on!
Best Generation
Hell yeah Brother!
Yes!!! 56 model here. Good year for Chevy too. 😂
69 next week 🎉🎉🎉❤MAGA FROM IRELAND 🇮🇪
Recorded 2 days before my 19th birthday. 71 now and still playing the byrds
Just after jimi hendrix 9 17 70
Me too!
72 yo & watch this video often. Love the Byrds!
Also now 71, I'm with you. Sorry about those who have passed away.
The people of our generation were sustained by music like this and I still am. There is very little as good as this being produced these days . There was so much vibrant music about and this track is a great example.
I agree 100%-
I have to agree. As odious at this is, and as tragic as it is to see a once talented group descend into this, a lot of what is available today is even worse.
I disagree entirely. Bands like Dream Theater, Tool, Opeth, and Devin Townsend, are all producing, IMO, much better music. Better sonically, composition-wise, and other elements. However, because they are not played on mainstream media they are not as well known. As someone born in 1963, I am always amazed at how quickly people write off today's music. I agree, that mainstream, much of it is less than interesting or capable, however, scratching beyond the surface, and some of the best music ever created is being made right now.
and it didn't cost $1200 to see them.
I've been seeing more and more comments from young people on music from this era. They think Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy is spooky because they heard it in the soundtrack to a scary movie. Generally, all Donovan's song's comments from the young people think he's spooky. I'm glad they are discovering the music through movie soundtracks and they have a desire to listen to more.
Unlike most here who were teens or adults when listenednto the byrds . I was 5 yrs old mexican immigrant child curious at my freak neighbors & music they played in Redondo Beach in 1976 when i kept hearing the byrds. It eventualy lead me to the other acid rock outhere in my teens to become bohemian, the music made me who I am!...yet inwas not even there.
2:10
After 70 trips around the Sun this still ROCKS and beats the hell out of most stuff being recorded today. I'm a retired airline pilot and we used to hum the refrain in flight.
What a great thought... thanks for the chuckle ... The hectic intensity of the song is reminiscent of a hectic day in ORD with several runways active and a line of T-storms rolling in rapidly from the west! ;-)
Just so long as you weren't smoking 'herbal' to stay in the vibe....
That bass line is intoxicating. My God!
Yes - and the bass player and the drummer (Skip Batten) are insanely tight together, as if they were united by the same brain. This is such an awesome jam!
It's cleansing
@@louise_rose is "Skip Battin" not Batten.😊 was also a member of Flying Burrito Brothers and The New Riders of Purple Sage.
I was at this concert. It was amazing. What else needs to be said.
I’m jealous
You can tell us about bowtieman. He's famous now!
How about, did they ever actually come in & sing the bloody song?
Oh so true. Nothing else could be said. Except this ;;;;;;;;;;; LONG LIVE ROCK-N-ROLL !
That's what is called a JAM SESSION !
Venues like the Filmore East, and bands like the Byrds are the reason that I had a 19 year span of a radio career. Sadly, there is nothing today that equals the cultural significance that we enjoyed at that time. To God be the Glory.
At least we have survivers like WMMR.
The Beatles were way more popular than Jesus.
@@geraldsobel3470 I think it must have seemed that way to John Lennon when he made that quip, but we are very fortunate that simply is not true.
@Karma Mechanic Like so many today, Stefani is a nice girl who is misguided.
Which God?
Look how close their standing, making eye contact, so so tight with one another. Proper band
Reading the comments... I agree 100% about the virtues of fine and proper musicianship. On the other hand, I also must respect those kooks who, not even knowing how to play an instrument, had the raw nerve to get up on a stage and make a go of it. The mid-70s to about 1983 was also a magical time for music. It was in 1983 I noticed a sudden change in the music, the dance clubs, and so forth. It was not a change for the better. We used to go to clubs and find people, mostly complete strangers, with whom to dance, flirt, drink (of course), and have long and often very worthwhile conversations on any of a large number of topics. We smiled, laughed a lot, did a little making-out, and so on, the emphasis being here that we smiled a lot - we were mostly happy and thankful to be alive. Then one day the Peppermint Lounge moved to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 14th Street, in the basement. What immediately jumped out at me was the crowd. Everyone was dressed in black, dour of countenance, holding up the walls rather than wearing out the dance floor, and doing their level best to look more disaffected than the next guy. I am grateful to have been born when I was. We were stepping out from the traditional edges of the culture, but not so far that we lost ourselves to the rot and misery of morbid cynicism.
I will be 66 on 2/1 and would not trade places with the currently up and coming generation for love or money.
Genau so ist es.👍
Those were the days , when you went to a gig to listen to the rock band The Byrds and they played you sophistcated fusion jazz - and now you go to listen to Justin Biebier with your daughter or even graddandaughter and still hear the same Justin Bieber. I feel sorry for these young generations.
This music will live forever in my soul..........First generation Rock & Roll !!!!
I was born 1948...Had the opportunity to watch music evolve into some the greatest sounds 50's 60's 70's
Right on brother I seen a lot of these groups in there prime I'm 65 now and these kids now a days have no idea of what good music is like
!950 here. And yes, there has never been a musical era that equals those three decades!
Never anything like it before or since!
Right there with ya Richard. The sounds produced in the 60's had never been heard before and it seemed like something new everyday!!! No one can relate that was not there. It was like a new color being born. Hard to describe.
@@larrykarr1968 1949 and I'm sorry for these kids who took maybe the only route they could to learn the music beyond the minor scale. But we drank our fill!
I have been listening to this rendition for years, always coming back to this and always feeding off Skip Batten’s bass and Gene parson’s drumming. Absolutely outstanding, it’s a unique and wonderful take capturing the essence of this period of live rock!!! Just love it!!!
Is the the same Byrds as, C Hillman & D Crosby?
@@Mike-oz5pp Only one in this configuration is Roger McGuinn
This is McGuinn giving the old middle finger!🤣"Here's some Eight Miles High..."
@@garthkolbeck8674 - Why would he feel compelled to give the middle finger?
Mona Lisa aint sh!t...those two jamming is real ART
This is what drum and bass should sound like. I'm 37 years old I feel like I missed my time I would have loved to have grown up in the 60s and 70s luckily for me my parents were always listening to records so I got introduced to amazing music when I was an infant and as a child growing up. Today's music ain't got the same soul I like that old time rock and roll.
Young people like you renew my faith in mankind.
Born in 51 , class of 69😊 What amazing period of music! Here in Fresno Ca, we assumed as normal to be had the amazing groups that Bill Graham Productions did here on west coast! I’ve gone to and seen every established and up and coming super bands in sixties and seventies! Blues, hard rock etc! People have trouble believing me but it was true! Can’t list em all! What a time for great music and a Buzz lol
Fresno, and it was amazing.
Born in '51, class of 68. I too feel I grew up with and saw many of the greats of that era. I can never be replicated.
Many people overlook the byrds of this era due to many of the original members being gone. But at this point they were arguably the most solid for their live performances and had the best musicians. Me personally, I love all the variations the byrds went through and love all the members. I just know that two years prior to this lineup, there was a lot of turmoil within the band.
You nailed it. This is a worthy progression in many ways.
THIS IS BASICALLY A SHOWCASE OF SKIPP BATTEN ON BASE. WHAT A GREAT BASE PLAYER, AND HUMAN BEING. HE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE DIED AT AGE 69. RIP SKIPP. MISS YOU.
Drums and bass are locked tight. Perfect. Guy in another comment that it high school amateur level....must have taken the brown acid.
Looking for one song and one band, ended up with a garage Almond Brothers jam, the one real musician McGuire is barely audible.
2003,Alzheimer.Sadly.
Incredible trip, BEAUTIFUL
Skipp was apparently ,a good guy ,nice🕊️human and a terrific music talent 😄
I didn’t grow up listening to the Byrds but I am going back and listening to all the 60’s bands I missed and the Byrds have really caught my attention. I really love “Wasn’t Born to Follow” which I first heard when watching “Easy Rider”. What an era to live in!
The bass and drumming on this song is amazing.
I Agree they WERE Tight
The bass is random. The drummer is working furiously, but he’s not really connecting with anyone else.
They are all amazing. The camera is just focusing on the bassist and drummer, that's all.
Bass player must be from Boston.
@@jeffryphillipsburns k
There are no words to express how awesome this it.
How about how the title is euphoric, as in 8 Miles High?
Sure there are. Read more. Expand your vocabulary. Develop your style, your voice, your sense. You too can say words.
i sure hope thats a joke! @@drsteele4749
That drummer is on fire!
Gene Parsons
no Ginger Baker.....
Gene parsons is a fucking legend!
@@judebandstra2484 Parsons and Clarence White on guitar: developed the B'String Bender for Telecaster. DEFINITELY LEGENDARY
@Jimmy ~ Makes B Benders. Those are bad ass guitar implements.
Great jam from the days when it was all about jamming and improvisation. Love that time period of music!
I just a pup 47yr old but this is a total jam awsome awesome tune
Rest in peace Skip Battin, one of the greatest bass players/ singer/ song writers known...
When did he buy the framer?
He's off the chart on this one, my wrist is aching just watching it.
The man was in the Byrds, the New Riders of Purple Sage, AND the later Flying Burrito Brothers! Really awesome dude.
Skip was the oldest of the Byrds and is the same Skip that had 50's-early 60's hits like "It was I" with Flip (Gary Paxton) as Skip and Flip total transformation. I guess he found his groove here but I like his 50's hits.
yes...Skip is Immortal
50 Years Later....A Half a Century Later... Cannot be Equaled.
That really blows your mind, doesn't it??? This music that is still relevant, that still ROCKS! Is 50 years old! *FIFTY YEARS OLD!!!*
This has to be one of the best bass/drum combo's of all time!
This is very cool
Awesome
Not really, 'the best', although it is good. After Michael Clarke and Chris Hillman (who were replaced by session guys on the early recordings because they werent quite up to scratch) moved on from the band they got these guys in - Gene Parsons and Skip Battin. Both Gene and Skip were stratospheres above Michael and Chris in playing ability.
Absolutely! Second only to Geddy/Neil!
I agree!!
The drummer and bassist are PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!😍
Diane Kennedy that’s all I heard
Gene Parsons
Phenomenally BAD!!--TOO MUCH ACID-read Dinky Dawson's book
@@maxroyle6750 Dinky Dawson. Helluva shortstop. All field. No hit.

proper musicians who can sing and play their instruments 👌 RIP David Crosby ❤️
No David Crosby in this clip... he left the band in 1967
David Crosby was kicked out of the band before this was recorded. They did not like the best thing about David (his ideals and openness).
@@sh230968 He left in 1967 and this was 3 years later...
Hilarious!! No Crosby here dude.
Also, session musicians were used on some of their biggest hits. LOL
my goodness, no idea the Byrds jammed this hard.
I know. I thought were acoustic folk. This rips
They were great
I miss the long rock jams in the middle of songs from the late 60s & early 70s.
I highly recommend you check out bands like Dead Meadow, Earthless, and a ton of other current-generation "stoner rock" bands. I think you'll be pleased.
The Grateful Dead was known for their “long rock jams”. You could be watching them at the old Fillmore, go catch whoever was playing at the Avalon Ballroom, come back to the Fillmore and the Dead would still be jammin’ !! Lol 💐 🤩
Radio figured out all that time lost in a jam cost them money in potential ad sales. And thus radio shot itself in the foot and has slowly been bleeding out every since. Jamming every hole with advertisers to stop the cash flow, but the only ones available are car dealers and furniture outlets.
Nah......these extended jams became everything that was wrong about 70's corporate rock . Few exeptions were Iron Butterfly , Pink Floyd and "Get Ready" by Rare Earth . This was also one of the few acceptable ones , mainly because it wasn't that long. Although would've appreciated if McGuinn actually sang here .
Alvin Lee and Ten Years After or Leslie West and Mountain to name a couple more great jam bands
I wouldn't have missed this era for the world, how blessed are we...
Saw the Byrds in 1965 at a local community College in Southern California. I was 13 y/o and in true hippie fashion pink mini dress and knee high white go- go boots chased their car out of the parking lot. I was screaming, "Chriiiis!"
I'll bet your hot too!
Wow!!! Great story! And memory.
The tempo, drumming and bass are absolutely unbelievable.
If I'm hearing it right, drummer Gene Parsons shouts at bassist Skip Battin, "Limit" at 4:56 - 4:57 (so push your limit)
correction: Gene Parsons
The tempo is amazing? What is that supposed to mean?
@@jeffryphillipsburns It's the speed of the music, this song moves along amazingly fast.
@@tomtrana3449 that's interesting, I thought he said "jam it" and they connected pretty well at that point. But I haven't listened with headphones yet.
$5 to get in and sit anywhere, that beautiful old venue, I saw everybody, so lucky....my gggggggggggeneration - everyone was the same...you cannot imagine what the young were capable of ....ARISE ARISE ARISE
I saw the Allman Brothers there, Zappa and the Mothers, Arlo Guthrie, James Taylor, John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers...I will have those memories forever. East is the most iconic venue of all time.
As a college student, I did not have the money. I remember standing outside the Filmore East one cold day in winter listening to Hendrix through the building walls.
This is just a true Rock & Roll Classic song by all means.
The drummer is just something very special.
Fabulous performance.
This song was in a double-album by the Byrds.
same impression of drummer.
Not just the drummer but also bassist and the lead guitarist.
@230968 Yes, they're all on fire here. I've always liked the Byrds yet was never a die hard fan, but this is amazing. I've never heard them jam like this. Not exactly sure which incarnation or lineup this was. If I remember correctly, Crosby left them for awhile then returned.
@@kensellers4082 Is it the no title one that someone mentioned before and is it this version or the song version please?
Absolutely killing it. Reminds me of the improvisation of the Allman Brothers
More like Iron Butterfly.
@@patrickreilly7256 no more like Allman Bros in the drumming./ bass lines.
I am speechless watching what real musicians were back in the 60s n 70s at 62 still the passion music of my life ❣️🙏🙏 David Crosby🙏❤️❤️✌️✌️🌹🌹
Legends. No drum machines, no sequencing, no bull shit. Just good tight musicianship.
You got that damn right, brother!
thomas grim You know thats right everything now is all run through a frickin computer. Musicians back then actually knew how to play.
yes sir!!
Imagine how much better they would have been without taking drugs
Absolutely!!

I would have liked to have heard a more pronounced sound from Roger McGuinn's exquisite 12 string Rickenbacker in this live version.
been a while thanks, good acid rock back in the day
Vocals? What vocals?
The Bass player and drummers interaction is incredible. Superb, Thank you.
Born in ‘50. Love the time period. We were so damn lucky. ❤
The Drummer and the Bassist, The two most under appreciated people in any band that has ever been. If you doubt that, just listen to this music. It doesn't exist without them.
Shame about the guns. Peace, man.
Absolutely agree 👍...
100%
Your exactly right !! They're the foundation,the core sound of the band..
agree! without them the guitars just sound like noodling!
RIP David Crosby you are truly missed. The drummer is incredible! I was born in 1958, so I have listened to the most incredible rock n' roll music their is and it live on.
recording from 1970 - no David Crosby with the Byrds at this time...
Skip Battin on basso is amazing, a big rocker.
All of them are huge.
What a treat for the ears. Awesome musicians, the real deal
We all just witnessed a master class in timeless Rock
The Byrds always had their own Unique Sound!!!...from "Tambourine Man" to "Eight Miles High" it doesn't get much better than this when it comes to Classic Rock 'N Roll !!..

how blessed were you? i envy you ... lucky lady. but wasnt it just the best time ever? x
Lucky you!!!!
Was in a home in the Hollywood Hills and they were making in their house in the patio. Man, I can still hear them in my mind and feel the warmth of a February afternoon, in '69.💡777🎸
Don't argue in the comments, just listen to a classic 🔥
This is the best recording of a live song in the early '70s that I've ever heard
I agree, and I've heard quite a bit
Another great recording, from the engineer's standpoint (Tomoo Suzuki), was Mountain's "Twin Peaks" release. Nantucket Sleighride is simply magnificent. Those boys were on the money that night. Felix Pappalardi, Bob Mann, Alan Schwartzberg, and Leslie West.
I wish we had true musicians again, I miss their talent Soo dang much.
When rock and roll became an art form. Unfortunately now a lost art form.
@@Carlosrastar123 check out a band called Trouble - their album called Manic Frustration
This was art. Rap is thuggery.
@@Carlosrastar123 In what way? Because you personally don't have any ongoing interest in music?

Not quite The Byrds but I quite like Black Lips. This is one of my favorites: th-cam.com/video/yMM0f0I-4RE/w-d-xo.html
Absolutely. They're out there, just harder to find sometimes.
You're goddam right
Greta Van fleet are as about as close as it gets these day's from what I have seen,they are pretty good
Saw Roger play tonight in Thousand Oak, CA. Dude still sings like an angel.
Skip Battin’s bass playing is breathtaking for the stamina, as well as how he clicks with Gene Parsons beautifully incessant drumming. One of the finest rhythm sections anyone could ask for. Just listen to the bass/drum break mid-song. I got sore hands trying to mimic, and I play a near identical vintage PBass!
far out man
Walking bass line, it's heavy jazz influence. What Miles with Ron Carter and Dave Holland did at the time the goal, with Allman Bros as guide.
@@donaldfrazell9540 Yes, I halfway expect them to launch into In Memory of Elizabeth Reed.
Killer drumming & bass on this & even better to actually see. 👏👏👏👏
Nothing's better than an old classic rock!
This is one of the best recordings,I ever seen of the byrds
I flew really close to the sun many times. I get the meaning of this song and love it..
I was born in 1958,and I started listening to rock& roll at an early age. I loved the psychedelic 60's music so much. I still listen to it everyday☮️💙🎸I wish all of you peace, love, rock& a long healthy life, I wish I had been old enough to go to Woodstock. It's almost the 53td anniversary next week.
I hear you Sandy. I'm about the same age and I remember the lead up to Woodstock and then how the news coverage focused on everything bad. My first concert was tagging along with my older brother to see Grand Funk Railroad, with Billy Preston opening. Closer to Home was the tour.

Where?
Rip David Crosby
True legend
@@redlilywest He's nowhere in this video.
Crosby wasn't in this performance
I was waiting for him to come out from backstage when the jam was over and participate in the vocal harmony of the song. I didn't know when I clicked in that they'd leave out the song and just paint a sketch of the rhythm. The audience was too baked to care, but I was waiting for the song...and dear David.
How did I miss all of this? So appreciate these extended versions with intros
Solid! Far out! Outa sight! Groovy!
Everyone sitting down and loving the performance. No cell phones, no paid screaming teens up front yelling.
I don't know where you're from, but, in Detroit, we are the epitome of organized chaos! We jam with the music, then, send the energy back to the musicians! We're up out of our seats and dancing. ...and, back then, there were no screaming fools, no cell phones, just folks dancing and singing along to the music! (We still kinda do that dancing and singing there here!)
You can't compare though. There were no cell phones back then, and what do you mean by 'paid teens?' Also, even back then there were bands whose fans would be screaming up front. It's just that The Byrds drew a different audience.
Like paid Trump rallies.
@@five-clawdragon Aw...someone has TDS after all these years. I would think you would be happy now but even you know that the Dims are dirty scoundrels and Gropin' Joe didn't win dog catcher, let alone POTUS.
@@lemurianchick We pity all of the anti-fact/anti-science flock, who drank the Trump/FauxNews coolaid.
I love how the drummer backed off to give the bassist the limelight for a while.
They are so eight miles high! That was phenomenally amazing!
Remember evil Nixon's War on Drugs...
Once the bass and drums locked in,pure magic
Skip and Gene were definitely a dynamic rhythm section, and helped make the latter-era Byrds such a powerful live band.
What's so dynamic about overpaying while grooveless and white?
Whenever I feel tired I think of this session of high energy drumming by Gene Parsons back in 1970. Gene is truly inspirational back then. Thank you Gene and the Byrds.
And how great duet he did with Skip Battin from 4:00 !

arthouston7361. Pretty cool brother! Your comments are right on about today's music! And yes, to GOD be the GLORY!! Beautiful from you!
This is an absolutely killer jam. Batten and Parsons are sensational.
Solid. Organic. Real. This is called MUSIC
There are strong jazz influences in there too. John Coltrane’s “India” album had been a staple on The Byrd’s tour bus during a US tour and the band were keen to bring some of the sounds they’d heard from John Coltrane into the pop world. 2:56 [Medium]
My kind of music...
Uninhibited, fearless and with the strong impact..I simply love it.
I bought this song as a 45 when it came out. Seeing this video adds another dimension and takes me more than Eight Miles High. Magnificent live performance. Thanks for sharing.
I never bought 45's. Only albums for me in the 70's.
Damn how does that drummer keep going like that, he's fucking awesome.
Many say this was the best, live Byrds lineup. I agree. Clarence white was a short lived, under appreciated guitar god.
Have to disagree. The best Byrds lineup was Gene Clark, Chris Hillman, Michael Clarke, Roger McGuinn, and David Crosby. The harmony was world class, and they sang great, original songs along with their Dylan covers.
This band here is technically good, but they're just jamming. Nothing wrong with that, but it's hardly the melodic and beautiful harmonies of the original Byrds.
Clarence was great from a young age, and is still considered one of the best bluegrass flat pickers ever; his Martin guitar was owned/played by Tony Rice after him...he was an amazing artist who died too soon. I loved the unit with Crosby as well. The Byrds were always great.
@@JLDB1987 Boy, the facts of his death are really heartbreaking. And his killer received a slap on the wrist. Clarence's headstone says "Daddy" on it--he left two young children. Just awful.
Agree there were better lineups but never got better than clarence white.
Clarence was awesome, the guys had huge paranoia that night, was said that after a duck hunt I crave a breakfast sandwich and a coffee spiked with Makers Mark
I didn't see this show but from 1968-1971 I attended over 30 shows at the Fillmore East. Great bands such as The Allman Brothers, Grateful Dead, Big Brother with Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane and more. Tickets were usually $3.50 - $4.50. It is a great memory of my youth.
I had this song on 45 when I was 8-9 years old and played it constantly! One of my all-time favorites.
Still kills me in 2019!!
Epic and the drums and bass are killing it! Good gracious! Bring this back!!!!!
Louise X they were very close friends. In the Flying BurritoBrothers together.
I think you had to be a child of the 60s to understand the power of this and other songs like it . . . it literally takes you to another place while ur @ the stage high as a kite w/ur eyes closed; and dancing by yourself . . . you just leave and then come back.
I have always been making the same point you are making. If you weren't there than all you have is your accumulated facts. I was born in july of 1949. So if I have anything to say about the 60's I am talking about what I suffered through. Thanks .
Please don't take my use of "you" personally. I just mean it generally like a universal indication. Peace.
Man is movement. Man is music. Man is consciousness, sights, sounds, textile touch, taste and palate. Most of all, man is listening!Hearing, audio and the manipulation of sound and fury. " Rock is dead they say...long live rock... LONG LIVE ROCK!!!
So lucky to have come of age and witnessed this music. Hard to fall from that great high time to this hellish low in the country.
