Eight Miles High is one of my favourite Byrds tracks, but more for the wistful melody and lyrics (Sidewalk scenes, and black limousines...). I never particularly noticed the guitar solo and I'm surprised to learn that it was influenced by Coltrane - but then I couldn't really identify Coltrane's style as I've never listened to him much.

BTW, the live version of 8MH on Untitled is a wonderful 17-min jam which is easily my fave version of the song.
I that the revamped version of Eight Mile High, where they turn it into a jam session?

Well I know the Perfumed Garden show by name only. However I have listen to a few Peel Sessions. He was always a character I admired. Some of my favorite bands all unrelated music-wise had one thing in common: they appeared in one his broadcast sessions.
