There are some great clips of Gene Clark on YouTube but here are two of my personal faves from when Gene & The Firebyrds were out my way to promote their fantastic LP of the time (which has the definitive recording of Mr. Tambourine Man in my opinion). He was in great form as you can see...
I'm not sure about how not afraid of flying he ever was but the details about Eight Miles High are great to hear right from the originator's mouth! Harpo's was a venue in downtown Victoria that has since closed. They appeared on CKVU's general interest Vancouver show shortly after...
Thanks to mcd220 for uploading this great material, and Erik for leading me to it!
P.S. You can tell that the interview comes from the same VHS tape and machine as the clip from the Vancouver show. Also Gene even has the same turtleneck and jacket on! There was a cable access show in Victoria at the time covering the music scene weekly and so I am sure this is nothing to do with a Detroit Harpos club.
* Not really, I'm lying but it might get
people to look. No actual Hippies
were injured in the making of this web log.
This is my place to promote and talk about
cool music, books, tv, and share any
creative endeavors of my own.

Gee, Gene Clark! I knew him when he was a Byrd. His songs had such a distinctive sound that you could pick them out as Gene Clark songs even if you'd never heard them before. Damn sorry that he's gone...
