At home, I went to "The Byrds - "I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better", looking for better HQ. I love to read the comments on KZbin. One was about his (Roger McGuinn) Rickenbacker 360/12 (is a semi-hollow body with thru-body neck structure electric guitar made by the Rickenbacker company; it was among the first electric twelve-string guitars.) The "commenter's" channel looked cool, so I went there. They had a list of their "likes". I scrolled down. Nice stuff. Further down, I found "Theme From A Summer Place". THAT'S WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR ! What are the odds ??? I put this on Face Book:

Compression was the key to the iconic sound. Roger's 12-string, Eric's BEANO Les Paul through a 50 watt Marshall, Jimi thru Marshall stacks were the iconic sounds of the 60s.

For my 60th Birthday Party at the Straand Hotel Vradal Norway my two super sons, presented me with a Vinyl LP of the Byrds with the cover signed personally by the entire group which hangs proudly on the wall in my office.

@joseph lemko Thanks! I take your compliment seriously because in my group of friends back in the 70s, I was the guy who made mix tapes and gave them away. I had a good ear for putting songs together with natural sounding transitions. My favorite job I never got paid for was DJ at my college radio station. My only shift was Sunday nights because I was busy working my way through school, but I had regular listeners who always called in with requests or to ask about a tune I played. In a perfect world, I'd still be doing it, but with pay. I didn't mention 8 Miles High because that song is on another level. I feel fortunate to have been a teenager at that time because music was just incredible. I always associate 8 Miles High with Shapes of Things because they just blew me away hearing what Jeff Beck and McGuiin were doing with the guitar. The Amboy Dukes. Journey to the Center of Your Mind had a similar effect. After hearing those songs as well as Tomorrow Never Knows, I never listened to music the same. They opened the door to all the possibilities of what a song could be.

It featured prominently in 'Needles' and 'When You Walk In The Room' later that year in 1963 - both of which she co-authored. The Searchers would go on to cover both (on her recommendation) in '64.

Anyone else think that the Byrds and the Searcher had a very similar sound ? Harmony is a beautiful thing !

[@MrGreen-sk3ws]

Just listened to this great song Sept 2024 one of my favorite Byrds tunes. Song written by Eugene Harold Clark, Aka Gene Clark.

[@babsie47]

My brother and I played the hell out of this record. Wore it out.

[@robertthacher]

When MgGuin's 12 string comes in after 8 bars, it is stunning. This was never a hit but a super song with a great solo!

[@barbfisher3687]

Love this song! Could listen to it all day!

[@screamlate2]

Anyone still listening to this Gene Clark classic in 2020 ?

[@jamessilberschlag1705]

[@AnrhoDeFryeld]

The Rock Legend, Charly Garcia, did a cover of this in the 90's. came here to listen to the original, both versions had their charm, i think i found gold too.

Timeless music from a legendary band.

[@jennifursun3303]

LOVE LOVE the bass on this song and Roger was playing a six string on this one

[@javiermendoza2942]

When you been listening to the incredible music of the 60s you can't help but want to share it with the world. So tweet away.

[@javiermendoza2942]

This comment is O.K. Kinda corney even for a 67 year old that grew up in the 60s. What I dont like about it is that is completely ficticious and written by either an overzelous hacker or some introverted you tube employee that wants to be in the loop. I did not post this. I hate the word tweet and have never used it. This is both scary and disrespectful. Bye

[@jannar.564]

I'm kind of obsessed with this song :)

[@maureendevries1904]

Same here

[@arthurharris6510]

I can understand that.

[@hidenseek4889]

This is a perfect song. Love you Gene Clark!

[@joenazario6189]

Bought the album in 66. Still love this song.
