THE BYRDS--SO YOU WANNA BE A ROCK N ROLL STAR---MR.TAMBOURINE MAN---EIGHT MILES HIGH

[@rafaelsantiago6047]

Never get tired listening to this song.😮🎉❤

[@OhMeOhMy77]

Hillman was an excellent bass player!

[@dalecauthen9086]

Chris was the best

[@bobmalack481]

Criss Hillman had the coolest hairstyle here in this video. Mine is a slightly dialed down version of this. I get away with this because of my inherited youth looks and hair brown dye color which does wonders for me and can pass for early 50's at 69..LOL!

[@drevilllc]

That bass riff is a fundamental part of any Rock Bass Player tool kit.

[@briantaylor2.023]

@@bobmalack481 His hair looked nerdy as hell lol

[@bobmalack481]

​@@briantaylor2.023 How so, it's a super cool look, my hair is like that but slightly dialed down. Now go tell a mid 1960's Bob Dylan he looks 'nerdy'. I get compliments at 69 I can get away with flirting with 30 something year olds. Chris Hillman here, the coolest looking.

[@craigkalin289]

3 great bands to come out of Los Angeles in the 60s, the Doors, Love, and the Byrds.

[@Onlytruth4u2]

The Ring sound of that Rickenbacker is unmistakable, synonymous with the American Rock. 🇺🇸

[@giuseppeargenziano1087]

God Bless you All, all the people that love the Byrds

[@buddysteele7624]

Love Crosby and The Byrds so much and I was born in 92. They’re just simply astonishingly great

[@bobmalack481]

Maybe research a little more about the Byrds. Roger Mcguinn is the centerpiece of the band and inovator. Robert at 69.

[@buddysteele7624]

Also born in 92 and I’m right there w ya. Love The Byrds and anything Crosby has touched

[@buddysteele7624]

@@bobmalack481yes McGuinn is a genius musician certainly. But the innovation, particular on 8 miles high, can be attributed to Crosby exposing Roger to Shankar and Coltrane. And it wasn’t just the jingle jangle that people loved. It was the harmonies. And that’s all Crosby’s doing again. I’m not trying to take anything away from Roger I love Roger. I just resonate with everything Crosby ever made and touched

[@bobmalack481]

Well thats fine and dandy, but all the band menbers made musical contributions. Crosby got the heave ho from the band for his heavy handed preasure for musical direction and being stoned all the time. I still say he is overated, and was also a irritant with CSN & sometimes Y (Neil Young) with Steven Stills as Crosby's probem. @@buddysteele7624

[@RandyR]

Still hard to comprehend. Am so thankful that we have the music and videos. Sadly, one of the best performers ever has passed. RIP David . Got to meet him in Dec 1988. Am in tears. Don't know if it's because of David passing , or I badly miss the early 60's. 😪✌

[@PaulSmith-pz9eq]

Feel the same

[@davidaston5773]

Because you have gotten the point of music and those who made it. IT IS SACRED. And wonderful people like you Randy realised how special it is. Peae and love, David

[@rubinlatz4256]

Rest In Peace and Harmonies, Croz : - ( (

[@Martin-jd3sr]

Ja, leider wird das langsam das Ende sein. Von handgemachter Beatmusik was nicht aus der Konserve oder von MIDI Files kommt sowohl der Sechsstimmige Harmoniegesang. Heutzutage kennen die möchte gern Musiker so etwas gar nicht mehr…🥲

[@madeleinehague3247]

Happy Birthday, Chris Hillman!

[@garyonderisin8338]

Great, great band!!!

[@jimmccord487]

As good as it EVER gets.Byrds forever!

[@andreacouzens4388]

A terrific trio of songs!! Great video!!

[@missourimale5431]

One of the best song openings you will ever hear. Yes the trumpet makes it!!

[@robertgormley684]

Iconic, classic, beautiful.

[@NolalanD]

They look so cool here. And sound like angels.

[@dalecauthen9086]

That brief shining moment in time when we were unknowingly blessed with the true superstar group, The Byrds !

[@davidaston5773]

They went beyond 8 miles high....

[@elforeigner3260]

Michael Clarke was a hard hitter with a soft touch when the situation required. Him and Hillman gave a heavyness to the Byrds sound that other American bands didn’t have

[@DerpRulesAll]

It's him I'm really listening to on 'Eight Miles High.'

[@flautalee3090]

I barely recognized Hillman, but yes? It’s him on bass.🎉🎉🎉

[@StratocastRS]

he always rocked that kick. Ive tried it. hard to keep it up lol. Im not really a drummer tho

[@DerpRulesAll]

@@StratocastRS Love had a bassist on Hillman's level, but didn't get a solid drummer until Michael Stuart from Sons Of Adam.

[@deeperinthehouse9177]

Stunning!

[@nighthiker8872]

PURE, PURE, PURE!

[@bobmalack481]

Hillman's hairstyle here in the day, I still look like that at SIXTY NINE, partly cuz of hair color and inherited youth looks, super cool kinda like a mid 60's Dylan hair style. I'm riding it for all it's worth..LOL!!

[@kevinkhoy7171]

Saw Tom Petty Open his Show with R&R ⭐ in West Palm Bch. 2014 The Byrds left a Mark in 🎶 History

[@leonardblush2557]

Rock n' Roll Star is probably one of the ten coolest records of the rock era.

[@bobmalack481]

Michael Clarke, looks like Brian Jones circa 1967.

[@paulbissitt4754]

I went to a wedding 10 years ago & found myself stood next to a young guy who was a dead ringer for Chris Hillman .I told him who he was & what band he played with & he just looked at me as though I was from another planet ,said "I,ve never heard of him or the Byrds" How sad is that? That says it all about todays music lovers.

[@bobmalack481]

​@@paulbissitt4754Hillman here has the coolest hair style here which I have slightly dialed down, and how he looks into the camera is ultra cool. Robert at 69.

[@marcotukoff]

Maravilha!

[@edwardmorris8141]

Way Kool!

[@SM-dt1pr]

Dave rocking the hardest working hat in show business.

[@bobmalack481]

No, Zal Yanovsky of The Lovin Spoonful and John Mckenzie of The Mama's & Papas wore the coolest late 60's hats. Robert at 69.

[@SM-dt1pr]

​@@bobmalack481not what I said. Were they both balding?

[@bobmalack481]

​​@@SM-dt1prI'm talking about Rock stars with hats like you mentioned here. What are you smoking? Nobody mentioned any thing about hair loss.

[@karenschlemmer8080]

David Crosby was the heart and soul of the Byrds!

[@bobmalack481]

Oh sure, high harmonizing and rythem guitar. Uh the inovator and soul of the Byrds is Roger Mcguinn. You need to do a little research, how old are you? Crosby did not even impact CS&N that much. Crosby got the boot from the Byrds for a few reasons. That 12 string Rickenbacher guitar is part of Mcquinn's signature sound imput, and heavely influenced Tom Petty's singing sound. I.E. 'The hardest part' a good tune example. Robert at 69.

[@karenschlemmer8080]

⁠@@bobmalack481What an insulting liar you are. I know more about David Crosby with the Byrds and CSN obviously than you ever will. Maybe you should go back and watch and listen to their performances.

[@essexboy5520]

​@@bobmalack481You could make an argument for Gene Clark.

[@bobmalack481]

I would say only lightly so. Put it this way, growing up, any time I heard any thing about the Byrds all I ever heard reference wise is Roger Mcguinn, singer, and that 12 string Rickenbacher, and I'm 69. I think that says something. I never even heard of Gene Clark until recently. I did not follow them that closely in the day. @@essexboy5520

[@bobmalack481]

​Only slightly so. I wasn't into the Byrds that much growing up, and I'm 69. All I ever heard reference wise is Roger Mcguinn reference's, his singing and that 12 string jangly sound Richenbacher, I think that says something. Never even heard of Gene Clark until recently. Now about the overrated David Crosby who got the boot from the band and did little for me with CSN & sometimes Y, but thats another story...@@essexboy5520

[@bobmalack481]

My hair is a slightly toned down version here of Chris Hillman, full hair upstairs frizzed out. At 69 I can still get away with my inherited youth looks and brown hair dye. I Pass for 52/55 and never a dull moment with 30/40 somethings. Hillmans coolest look at the camera is at begining seconds of 'So you wanna be a Rock & Roll star' reminds me of Keith Richards looking at the camera on '2,000 light years from home' video from '67. Doesn't get any cooler than this, and honerable mentions to Mcguinn when he wore those rectangular blue 'shades' for a time, also ultra cool. Robert at 69.

[@stefanheintzelmann5744]

My Dad get a tape with this great, great song „Mr. Tambourine Man“! I fell in love with this song 30 years ago! Rock in Paradise, Mr. David Crosby! ☝🏻🎸🍀♥️🙏🏻🕯💔

[@yatinthehat]

Wow. David crosby!!!

[@bobmalack481]

Crosby is overated

[@bobmalack481]

Whats wow about him? Crosby is overated. The genius and inovator of the band is Roger Mcguinn with his lead singing and 12 string Richenbacker guitar playing.

[@bobmalack481]

Anybody remember 'The Souther-Hillman-Furay band'? It's almost like the shortlived semi obscure 'Moby grape' album with Eric Clapton. Robert at 69 in Arizona.

[@Vito_Tuxedo]

@bobmalack481 - I toured with them. Great band.

[@marshaledrek71]

Why no Gene Clark in these videos? Did he already leave the band?

[@psh6654]

Where is Michael Clark?

[@bobmalack481]

good question..

[@toml992]

Do you mean where's Gene Clark? Michael Clarke is behind the drums.

[@bobmalack481]

The heart and soul of the Byrds is Roger Mcquinn, NOT David Crosby. He got the boot from the band, and understandably so. Irks me to no end. Robert at 68.

[@unstrung65]

You forget that Crosby was one of the original 5 Byrds -- and made great contributions on rhythm guitar , high harmony , and song writing ! Without Crosby The Byrds would have never existed . SO -- you don't know what you are talking about !

[@bobmalack481]

So what, they all made contributions, especially Chris Hillman, bass guitar, singing, song writting, country/folk background, Mandolin player and more. At that Roger Mcguinn is the heart, soul and inovator of the Byrds. At 69 I think my opinion carrys at least a little weight. Crosby got the boot from the band for more than 1 reason, and he did not enhance CS&N & sometimes Y that much, what was his biggest hit with CSN? 'Almost cut my hair'? and also being an irritant to Steven Stills. Crosby basically just got stoned all the time. whuda YOU know?. how old are you?!

[@OhMeOhMy77]

Hey man just go kick your dog and go to bed. Tomorrow could hold much better feelings!​@@bobmalack481

[@marycherry574]

Truth

[@bobmalack481]

Waay too much camera on Crosby on 'Eight miles high'. The genius and inovator of The Byrds Roger Mcguinn almost nowhere to be found.

[@unstrung65]

The guy filming this probably was unaware of the group , but it lets us focus on Crosby's rhythm guitar part , all other videos from that era focus on Roger ( Jim ) McGuinn playing his Rickenbacker lead . Be happy this film exists !

[@Msboboliciios]

Thats because Gene Clark wrote that song.

[@dannymarz2568]

ROGER looks like he's really TRIPPEN!!!!

[@bobmalack481]

Astounding that with these 3 videos Roger Mcguinn, the inovator, lead singer, and ground breaking American band to utilize the jangly Richenbacher guitar here has the least camera action on him. David Crosby, Gene Clark is NOT the heart and soul of the Byrds. Robert at 69.

[@bst6791]

With all due respect to the Beach Boys, McGuinn, Crosby and Hillman were the closest the US had to McCartney, Lennon and Harrison. Also, McGuinn had switched to Roger by then. Did Crosby interduce him as Jim just to get under his skin?

[@briansammond7801]

You're missing Gene Clark, who was the primary song-writer for the first two Byrds albums.

[@eddeeotero786]

No power cords,,

[@bobmalack481]

None is needed, this is not Metalica.
