Hey everyone, this is our first 'real' video supporting one of the songs we recorded. It's our cover of 8 Miles High. Note, every guitar is a Rickenbacker! We'd really appreciate it if you can take a look.

[Edit] Apparently failed at embedding the video. Here's the link! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMyMwFk89Xc
Thanks - Pat.

Great professional quality video there and totally awesome with the four Rickenbacker ensemble !!

Your group singing effort has got to have McGuinn and Crosby doing a double-take !

I like the good clean sound seperation between Mark and Dave's two Twelve-strings (good example around the 1:40 mark) with the Compressor effect very noticeable on Dave's Fireglo Ric, on his very tasteful guitar solo there! Was that a Jangle Box or a Jangle Box2 being used ?

I am so impressed. I hope my band will be able to play that song half so well someday.

I can't get it to embed either, Pat. Sorry.

Excellent performance, but the clicking compressor on the instrumental verse was a bit distracting.

Thanks for your help Kira and the comments... Dave M. will be beaten.....

Why not buy him a Janglebox II instead?

No, the beating would be more fun and cheaper (but we did buy him a Jangle box on his birthday last March). I think the recording was made (BJ) Before Jangle box.

Well, don't let me spoil your fun.

Anyway you guys do a bang-up job of it, very impressive. Whereabouts do you play?

The Byrds Collective are down here in Los Angeles. We play mostly So. Cal. Rich F. is a big supporter (and a great friend).

Great work guys, Great harmony, Great guitar work, I wonder if people understand how much work goes into a band to polish the sound the way you guys have. VERY WELL DONE.
