Generally the sound is spot on. I've always thought that the true magic of this song is in the lyrics and the energy they produce. In that regard I'd say that Golden Earring's Eight Miles High is untouchable, the best cover I've ever heard. Everything gets as homogenized and deadened as Eagles' music if you're not describing in vocals the sense of wonderment of those London cityscapes. By no means easy to achieve with a bevy of Rickenbackers, which can easily create hypnotic effect, otherwise, very well presented here, gentlemen.

Maybe you have not heard the Byrd's version, the ORIGINAL roger mcguinn and bandmates byrds singing and playing their instruments. That was the BEST VERSION. This is a good imitation . Try listening ti original and see diffetence in voice harmony and that 12 string ricknbacker

The most impressive thing about this cover of a classic Byrds song is the vocal harmonies. When the three guys started singing, I thought for a few seconds that it might be synced with the original Byrds recording. And having three guys playing Rickenbacker guitars is kind of awesome.

Early band demize by '68 as Crosby got the boot for group tension/control. Roger Mcguinn was the heart and soul of the Byrds. Crosby lasts a little longer with CS&N, and sometimes Y. Neil Young really rounds out CS&N but was a true talent on his own or with the band.
