@joshhodg Nah, the weather's shit here now and it was shit then too. Give me a convertible Ford Mustang cruising LA in 1965 going to see the Doors play in Venice beach.

That's a great video, never remember seeing it before. And although the sound isn't "clean" it adds to the quality in my view.

@kurotanuki1021 Yes..Many radio stations thru out the country would not play this; just as 'dancing In The Streets', by Martha And The Vandellas was said would incite riots..

McGuinn is responsible for launched a psychedelic explosion with this song. He is one of the hardest working songwriter/performer of his era outlasting many, and still playing strong today.

I'm a 55 years old Japanese.
I wrote " If my memory is correct, this song was prohibited from being aired because it was suspected to sing about LSD, wasn't it? Anyhow, this nostalgic song reminds me of that psychedelic '60s and I love it !"
I love Steppenwolf, Ohio players, and Earth wind and fire, too !!!

@kurotanuki1021 ?????????...



Now I know why the original video was yanked. WMG is claiming copyright violation.
Smooth move, attorney schmucks. If you want Byrds fans to pay iTunes to download music you don't really think people will be satisfied with the lo-fi sound via YouTube, do you?
No wonder the music business is dying.

If it ever becomes possible to vacation in time periods rather than places, never mind the laws of time and space (where if you squish a bug in 1965 and it greatly alters the present) I would set it to Soho in London in the summer of '65....so I could live things like this first hand.
