Psychedelic rock owes its existence in a large part to a revolution in technology that allowed a guitarist to play with distortion. This revolution coincided with the rise of the hippie movement after 1965 or so but the two event were not related. Before that, guitarists simply were not able to play that way, like the way Hendrix played. But it was the Beatles, not Hendrix, that changed music forever. Psychedelic rock came a bit later on but IMHO the big change was in 1964, not 1967.
just speed up or slow down or even reverse music to avoid copyrights or better yet if you totally dont care for monetization you can post the video to a pirate site like tpb where they only take down illegal images, malware and fakes
“Johnny’s in the basement mixing up the medicine” we were craving an experience. “Not necessarily stoned but beautiful” time for a renaissance of that era, a revival or dare I say a revolution. Long over due
Woodstock was late to the party. There were "happenings in San Francisco, NYC, LA, and "rave parties" in London (not to be confused w/ '90s techno ecstasy-fueled raves) which were spontaneous multimedia parties. Ken Kesey (pronounced "Key-zee) had "acid tests" which were happenings w/ LSD and The Grateful Dead. Then the early hippies in SF started the Red Dog Saloon in Virginia City in Nevada summer of '65. Then first "psychedelic dance concerts" in fall of '65 in San Francisco. Then Trips Festival in Jan. '66 in SF. Then "Swinging London" Mod scene started to turn psychedelic in '66. Freak-out dances w/ Vito Paulekas & Frank Zappa in LA, Andy Warhol's Factory w/ Velvet Underground in NYC. Then rock concerts at the Fillmore, Avalon Ballroom and rock concerts in Golden Gate Park in SF. Human Be-In in Jan. '67 in SF. 14-hr Technicolour Dream in London April '67. First outdoor rock festival, Magic Fantasy Faire, north of SF June '67. Monterey Pop Music Festival a week later. Other music festivals and larger concerts in '68. Woodstock in summer of '69 in NY. Manson Murders. Altamont Concert in Dec. '69 near SF. Psych Soul, Prog Rock and Jazz Fusion in the '70s, The Paisley Underground at UC Davis and LA early '80s. Neo-psych bands in UK, Europe, US in '80s. Transcendental Fusion Events (proto-raves) & cyberpunks in SF (mid-'80s), Raves in London late '80s. Then bands influenced by psych music in '90s. And the genre continues as a constant current. Usually submerged underground but sometimes mainstream.
I was 10 in 1969. I remember everyone talking about Woodstock. The festival became a disaster area. What was left was a huge mess. I won't argue that the music from the event was pretty awesome, but Pete Townshend of The Who said it was the "worst f**king gig they ever played." He regarded the Isle Of Wight festival in 1970, which had 500,000 people attend, a much better experience.
I described that the american rock & roll music during the mid 60's sounded incredible nice & harmonious & good rhythem with joy. However, the consumption of drugs like mariguana, cocaine & even heroin has really influenced the hopes & dreams turning into nightmares. Oh! why do I have to attend schools, do my homework, do what our parents suggested, recomended for a good career. And, this baby boom generation born in the early & mids 40's rejected their schools curriculum. Let's have a party, sex, drugs & rock& roll. a period of a fun Paradise .
The Generation Gap created the counter culture. When we discovered the establishment was so faulty in so many ways that defiance was the only ethical means of opposition. How often have our leaders proven to us how unfit they are to lead?
Is he chipped or smth? Wanna say that your drawing is awesome. I'm glad to see people drawing what they like. I hope you like what you draw. Do you draw with your right or left hand? I notice that people who try "draw this with your left hand" usually do better than average person who is right handed. I've made a video recently and I gained a lot of cute comments, so I decided to write some also to make people happy ^^
The narration is annoying and historically a little incorrect in places. Nice to see all these clips and be reminded of those times though. Woodstock was the death knell of the counterculture. It was the moment the money people moved in, took over and screwed it all up.
The counterculture never suffered a death knell. We just found ourselves forced to adapt to an adverse and hostile establishment that demanded conformity from their wage slaves as we developed more ways of integration and agenda advancement. I can cite very many numerous examples of my theory's validity, should we care to discuss the matter further.
Monterey Pop Festival was the granddaddy of all psychedelic gathering ushering in the love generation aka the hippies which in the early days were groovy, colorful, with flowers in there hair and a positive outlook on the changes that they were going to make on society, before the movement collapse s taking psychedelic with it, I'm waiting for a second coming of a new psychedelic happening taking back sanity which is hard to find with the uptight so called liberals cancelling anything they find objectionable.
Imagine, psychedelic conservatives? Liberals cancelled objectionable psychedelia? This be historic revisionism at its most absurd and capricious. Do you people even think before you spout?
@@ANDROLOMA liberals today, if you are one, are either cowards afraid to speak there mind for fear that they might be cancelled or even worse, be labeled a racist, or are suffering mental illness with no cure in sight where conservatives are open minded with common sense; and to claim, if you were, that psychedelia and conservatism don't mix, well, I believe that you are lost in that rabbit hole or you are obsessed, chasing that white rabbit , wondering what is his/her/them rush. Me think thou should drop a little acid and chill, relax your taxed mind. And I was not being a revisionist as you claimed, think before you sprout off.
What's with the audio gaps of dead air? At the end of White Rabbit, all of a sudden Grace Slicks vocals are gone as is any other sound. It happens again at the end when Jimi Hendrix is doing the Start Spangled Banner. This really ruins the buzz.
Yah...no cigar. Missed a dozen San Francisco psychedelic bands - Quicksilver, Big Brother, Country Joe, Charlatans, Moby Grape, Sons of Champlain, Hot Tuna, Electric Flag, Sopwith Camel... Do your homework.
@@kybertal One of the cooler things about digital media is that it is easy to update and upgrade. Call this version 1.0 and maybe build upon it and do a more comprehensive version 2.0 for a summer project that includes the neo-psychedelic movement in music. In any event, the video is nicely polished, looks and feels like a pro operation. Expand it and you could have a future in media production. Best to you.
At the behest of the US government, the CIA infiltrated the Hippie Peace and love movement with Timothy Leary and others, and the introduction of LSD to the counter-culture Hippie killing and leading to the demise of many a celebrity and their fans alike as this destroyed the image of the era of Hippie Peace and love movement and ultimately returning the masses back to the status quo.
It was a perfect storm where pop, folk, technology, drugs, youth culture, post-WW2 affluence and blues and Indian culture all came together. The jamming tradition of the American blues merged with the raga style of Indian music to really open up instrumentals, and the vocals were very bluesy (many of the great British rock bands of the era saw themselves as R&B, including the Beatles, stones and Who). The Brits loved American blues while opening the door to Indian music. The philosophy, colors and textures of Eastern philosophy really took hold with a uniquely independent and self aware youth culture. It was cross racial, cross cultural and cross economic. And technology not only allowed more sophisticated abstract sounds to be created with electric instruments, but allowed it to be broadcast to the world through radio, TV and records. There never was, and probably never will be another such confluence.
Thank you for saying that about the mixture of black and Indian and white music. This is one in the eye for all the activists that are always claiming racial prejudice has always been present in the West.
Psychedelic music began before 1967 and Sgt. Peppers. The Beatles had psychedelic music on 1966s Revolver. Also, more important than Woodstock was The Montery Pop Festival in 1967 with groups such as Jefferson Airplane and the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
Even though it was released a few months later (or more... the first version of "Eight Miles High" is perhaps from a year earlier), I believe that "Tomorrow never knows" has many reasons - in terms of content and innovation - to be considered the essential piece in the start of psychedelia. ("Eight Miles High" it's a great great song). ^^
You say it started as early as the 1950's. I wad interested to see where you were going to go with that but you jumped to Dylan in the 60's and don't really say how he influenced psychedelic music. I'm assuming music of the 50s you are referencing might be free jazz and the Beats?
THE FREE SPIRITS - Out of Sight and Sound - ABC/Impulse, recorded at Rudy Van Gelder's NJ studio in late fall of 1965 re-released by Sunbeam Records, London, UK. and first time release of "Live at The Scene", by Sunbeam Records, London, UK.
