… you’ll find it’s stranger than known…Today in rock history, in 1966 the Byrds release "Eight Miles High." Way ahead of the curve, the song’s psychedelic overtones plus a radio ban (due to “drug references”) cause it to stall at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100. Check out what looks to me to be the drummer’s bored sigh at about 1:08 (either that or he’s in pain). Well, Mr. Clarke, if you didn’t want to be there, I’d have gladly changed places with you! Also check out bass player Hillman’s bass chords at about 3:10 - a truly great underrated bassist! Thanks to http://www.rockintown.com/today-in-rock.html for the info, and keep on rockin’!

Love it when you make amazing finds like this and then annotate as the wise and kindly tour guide you are, and i mean that sincerely.
Man, 1:08 looks like a fake high to me and you know what I'm talking about but 3:10 is really worth watching a couple of times as I've just done.
Some of this lip synch stuff & some of it isn't, do you agree?
