Husker Du -- "Eight Miles High"

Bob Mould trades in Roger McGuinn's electric 12-string Rickenbacher for a heavily distorted Gibson Flying V.

The result is a great cover of a song that does not lend itself easily to interpretation.  The only way to do this song right is to turn it into something else, the downside of the psychedelic vision, a frenzied moaning.  One of Bob Mould's finest moments.
