the summer of love was allot of smoke and mirrors, it is always being said that it was this great time filled with music and love, but it was just mostly teens on acid, WOODSTOCK on the other hand was more of a love filled, musical experience
Of course ots complete cock to say the British Invasions stopped in 67, it continued with Led Zep, who took the US by storm, and PinkFloyd, and Deep Purple, and Black Sabbath, and Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden...
Too bad drugs had to ruin everything. Drugs and the idea of accepting anyone, even someone like Manson. Lots of scam artists were able to infiltrate the scene. What a shame.
@Cissy2cute Drug preoccupation would be more San Francisco, down south in Los Angeles the scene there was lively rock'n'roll (which SF looked down upon) but was crushed by the conservatives along with robot law enforcement.
Watched the whole episode, but pt 6 & 7 are missing,or it simply doesn't exist, very good enjoy them, will search your channel for furher more clips !! Thanks..
Parts 6 & 7 do exist and were up for a while. However, due to copyright issues, YouTube took the episodes down. Pity, since parts 6 & 7 had some awesome footage.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
no suprise white people (the english ) mostly always want to take the credit lol!!!! but now they are going down cos things have changed we have a black president GO OBAMA!!!!!
God i love The Who's craziness. I wish i could do that to every instrument i play but i dont have the money -_-. Whenever I play Rock Band though, I always have the urge to do stuff like that to the instruments lol
Yes you're right. And if we add some more ingredients...when it comes to punk early sound and speed, it would be The MC5. Stage diving would be Iggy Pop. 3 chords style i could say it's Buddy Holly. Add some raunchy riffs, it would be THE KINKS. Rebel attitude, Rolling Stones and add some ferocius flavoring from DR. FEELGOOD. Put them altogether ingredients...BUDDY HOLLY + THE KINKS + THE MC5 + THE WHO + IGGY POP + ROLLING STONES + DR. FEELGOOD = PUNK ROCK.
Actually it was "Crazy Man, Crazy". BOTH versions of "Rocket 88"-Ike Turner/Jackie Brenston's and Bill Haley's were NOT "rock & roll"! Although they were two similar (and respectively great) records, the Brenston recording was "R&B" and Haley's was closer to small combo "western swing" (they called it "Cowboy Jive"!) Consider that AFTER recording "Rocket 88," Turner/Brenston never moved any closer to rock & roll, whereas Haley kept evolving-2 years later he hit with "Crazy Man, Crazy"!
Brilliant documentary. To bad security is so tight today that we cant have those "people rushes" like there were.
Its also interesting how the music untied everybody back then, nowadays there are 43509435 different sorts of music for twice that amount of people. No big hit shows that everybody can enjoy.
You're absolutely right about that, since Cilla, Dusty, Petula, Lulu, Sandie Shaw and other women were a big part of the Invasion. Another noteworthy female was Honey Lantree, the drummer for the Honeycombs ("Have I the Right?")
Maybe someone will come up with a documentary of the FEMALE BRITISH INVASION ...
I don't understand why the documentary says that British domination enden in '67. The Rolling Stones, The Who and the surviving Beatles...along with Sting, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin and other british acts are among the biggest selling contemporary acts and they are not only respected, but they sell out tickets for concerts and still influence young musicians.
Oh, great artists like these still enjoyed continued success, but the emphasis changed and became more diverse after this period, and was reflected in chart rankings. Everyone now wanted that roots-rock sound, and The Band and Delaney and Bonnie set the new standard.
The band was a very good group and Delaney etc weren't bad but "set the new standard"? Post-67 the Beatles still had the White Lbum, Magincal Mystery Tour, Abbey road & Let It Be, The Stones enterted their golden age with Beggar's Banquet, Let it Bleed & Sticky Fingers, The Who had Tommy & Who's Next, there was the prog explosion (Pink Floyd, Yes, genesis, ELP, Jethro Tull), and the Doors still had a few albums in them. Delanie and Bonnie?????
They had an amazing behind-the-scenes influence on many leading musicians (Clapton, Beatles, Stones, Cocker, Leon Russell, Duane Allman, etc.) of the era and were instrumental in ushering in the roots-rock period that lasted a good five years. They didn't sell lots of albums but they were musicians' musicians and were highly admired and emulated by many. Sadly, in recent news, Delaney Bramlett died in Los Angeles Dec. 27th from complications following gall bladder surgery.
Great documentary...but the focus is much more on Pop music that, frankly, appealed to young girls. Otherwise the documentary would have carried on from the London / Blues groups to focus on bands such as The Pretty Things. Raw but never would have made it to the Ed Sullivan Show. And not to mention Long John Baldry in an overview of British Rock is a crime...
I agree with much of what you say. Hopefully a more in-depth documentary will be made that will cover more UK artists of that era, like the Small Faces and Ian Whitcomb.
well, i think the focus was to show the genesis of the british rock scene, which did start out with pop music...these guys started out making music that appealed to girls, and then graduated to music that appealed to guys...but its pretty cool that the stones were doing blues and the girls dug it
Thank you so much for uploading these vids. For such a short documentary, it covered a lot! Best of all were clips hardly ever seen in the usual discussion of the British invasion. The BBC or some other source should make a longer more in depth project. The era deserves it. Thanks!
Spirtw72, thanks for the comments! I agree with you completely - - the producers of this documentary certainly did a fine job. A longer, more in depth look at this important era would be a tremendous achievement.
"Never again dominate"? What about Led Zeppelin? Whoever put this script together knows nothing about music.
