Featuring Cream, The Chameleons, Patsy Cline and much, much more. Cheque out this incredible footage of my favourites Hüsker Dü playing The Byrds psychedelic classic "Eight Miles High" at Love Hall in Philadelphia while the kids tear it up in the pit. They recorded the song during the "Zen Arcade" sessions and released it as a single prior to the L.P. in 1984. This performance from December 1983 was captured after they had recorded the single but before it went on sale.
