The Mamas And The Papas - California Dreamin'

[fantaussi24]

legend

[bumphilosopher]

I stopped by a church I passed along the way and just like every usual work day the church was locked I guess I'm just supposed to make blocks until the God Sunday

[RayNDeere]

The interesting thing is that as hosts of the Monterey Pop Festival, they really had no chance to rehearse as they were getting everything together for the show. The other thing was they were the final act of the festival. After the Who, after Jimi Hendrix. Seen interviews that said they were not at their best, but still a historical showing

[jd11889]

this was a live performance at the monterey pop festival in 1967

[blueticecho]

Oh boy that Mama sure liked her taters!

[LordGarthable]

was written while the band was in rainy London, homesick for the warm Californian sunshine

[rawdog42]

@LordGarthable i think it was in new york

[blackandgold978]

Um, they don't sound good in this version...........Mama Cass sounds kinda sick.

[rocksoliddude1]

fantastic rebel music, fuck the nwo

[yassigole]

wel this is the time when some people used to care.they wanted peace and love.now evrybody wants money and power.the music back than had meaning.now its crap.

[WhoTFisLeroy]

@yassigole Its more like that was the time when a chance of doing things better seemed posible, reality proved them wrong, war industry haven´t stoped growing, US still "helping" countries by bombing them and Europe still saying "Yes Sir, as you wish" We can´t blame this generation for not trusting one bit the human condition, or for not following certain "revolutions" that failed even when the time was right, but not everyone is about to make it supercomercial in the main stream.

[yassigole]

@WhoTFisLeroy i know its been 5 moths but i would have to disagree with you.the peace movement stopt the war in vietnam.the peace movent kind of got a genaration out of a situation where kids obeyd the will of egoic parents and gouverment.the racial face of america got inlightend.please dont tell me the movement did not help at all.us young people have to get less self involved and more social these days thats all..sorry for spelling by the way english is second language.

[hazuinf]

Epic song. One of the best songs ever written.

The 60s was when music just went amazing.

[Zeinishe]

that guy looks like John Lennon

[hazuinf]

@Zeinishe You think so?

[azrodrigues]

a global thing happened in the 60's, you can see it clearly in music, as a brazzilian i can say that as the music since the 60's got worst and worst till today, and the same thing seemed to have happened in the rest of the world as well.

[TuxedoMask0830]

vintage audio!!!

[Vlad2808]

The real meaning of love. 70's was the true decade...

[rebelformetal]

this song reminds me of the manson murders. which is no suprise because this is one of the main hippie anthems

[solecipollari]

AMO ESTA CANCIÓN.

¡Cómo no nací en esa época!

Crecí con los casettes de mi mamá y realmente, esto es una belleza. :)

[velero24]

Te comprendo, a mi me hubiera gustado ser un hippy de los 70s y verlos en conciertos mientras me fumo un porrito :(

Bueno todavía puedo fumármelo :D

[solecipollari]

Oh, claro! Esto lo hacemos de todos modos! ;)

[CookOfTheHouse]

[zoeysboy]

[bz4youandyou]

the PURPLE OWL at work

[guardianwolf01]

@kevb1680 Most of us stayed high back then. Those were good times

[TininSkywithDiamonds]

John the bastard. He fucked his daughter

[TheUSCam]

Dont you mean Harry the Bastard? He fucked young Royal Marines. Not sexualy, oh no, he drove them forward into becoming men and Marines..

[thisislewisj8]

get a life you fucking bastared why u talking bad about them would you like it if they did it to you?

[aguasalio]

Desde España que recuerdos,maravillosa canción.

[36jeanlouis]

A new dutch band, Carola Smit Get Back Live, covered this song. Look them up, they are great!!! This band plays only '60/'70's music.

[boobyguy200]

the guy with the hat raiped his own kid

[kenquentin]

one man is ashley roberts's father (of pcd)

[mbmorrison]

Good music, messed up people. Pretty much sums up most of rock and roll, huh?

[davism5]

Yes, I agree. I guess you don't have to have morals to write good music. One of those "I like his music, not his lifestyle." kind of things.

[abovetheinfluence555]

yeah man. rock n roll is so leet and rebelious d00d keith richards is so hardcore LOL rock and roll is just a bunch of trendy kiddies

[Shimmeringsmiley]

A trend? I don't think so...

[79274333]

Even the beach boys got involved with Charles Manson, he wrote a couple of their songs.

[REVELES13]

@mbmorrison how wer they messed up ppl?

[nossey06]

@REVELES13  they look pre drug fucked or sound it

[wallibe]

@REVELES13 Mackenzie Philips (daughter of John Philips) says that her dad injected her with heroin and had sex with her... that's a little messed up lol

[DavidVIIIcool]

@wallibe dont believe a word of that bullshit

[harobmx123]

@mbmorrison who's messed up?

[Czechmagnum]

Viva JOHN PHILLIPS!!!! his song Captain aso. Mr Blue :)

[FatChickenk]

dude its the 60's thats what appeal was then.Correct me if im wrong but im sure that was the 60's

[CAWTEXCAWTEX]

His head must have got hot on stage with that fucking stupid hat on.

[jordanhraye]

how did they die?

[vakantieland4]

May be it`s true, may be it is not. They did drugs together, so may be they crossed a line without really knowing it. But why tell now?

[optimisticbabe]

00:40 - 00:46 is my favourite part, his voice sends goosebumps up my neck :)

[wimscheers]

He had sex with his daughter. For 10 years. Starting the night before her wedding. When she passed out on drugs. Waking up with her dad on top. California dreamin'

[ozzynuhfer]

I believe her! I am an abuse survivor myself and it took pure courage to finally tell her story. we recover in our own ways, or kill ourselves. I nearly lost my life before my escape, so suicide was never an option. I started writing my book last night 13 years later and saw her on Today show this morning! NO COINCIDENCE!

[kittenic44]

get the fuck out of here...are you serious?

[wimscheers]

/watch?v=jL2kYcaU1yg Yes, we should take the whole testimony with a grain of salt.

 But hey, this is the internet, the louder the better, read a book if you want nuances. And it gives the song an extra, darker dimension.

[shoguada]

Quien no desea haber sido joven en los 60´...

lástima que muchos de ellos se fueron tan jóvenes .Pero hoy se recuerdan todavía no los dejemos morir.

[Kunaschirsky]

In the music they and will be young, and those who went away - their souls to return. So pleasingly to god. Service to the muse does not stand fuss. Talent forever!

[Neurotoxins]

What.

[WavyC123]

haha

[Cauchymean]

They look so young and vibrant and it's depressing to realize that 40 years have passed and Michelle Phillips is the only one of them still alive.

[TheGodKingOfMusic]

the girls who are singing the song suck compared to their mastered version. not enough enthusiasm

[892lgy7382]

@TheGodKingOfMusic one of the girls' mic is dead, that's why

[TheGodKingOfMusic]

@892lgy7382 oh then i guess thats excusable

[IDONTCARE9941]

man do i wish growin up in the 60's they had the best things going on and all of it was great... who doesnt wish to have been young in the 60's, especially with all the free spirits , and drugs!!!!!!!!!!!

its about time,.....for a time machine

[substitute91]

me too..if only i that time machine real exist..my one wish is to be in the 50's way up to the 80s..

[musikfreak112]

my mom had manny friends ther died of drugs : (

[faeryquene]

Awesome. I wish I had been old enough to appreciate them in the '60's. Ah but for a time machine. :)

[TheTOMCAT66]

i'm with you on those thoughts!!!!my two oldest brothers were hippies back in the day and the music i got turned onto a very early age :).todays music just has no soul!!!!!

[faeryquene]

I agree completely. I'm just old enough that I remember my older cousins and their friends in their hippie garb-I thought they looked so cool but I was still just a little girl-not in grade school just yet in 1967. :)

[boybedoya]

man, how i wish i could have been a teenager growing up in the 60's..man all the drugs and free spirits..whoa!!

[lolitalebron]

my mom was a teenager in the 60's, i tell her that sometimes(she never did drugs though... and i wouldnt either)

[alvalinochris]

it's ok don't be a...

[mauro987]

yeap, I agree. That's what you have in your head.

[shnen2]

Whos covering it?

[TheDaddyCokes]

1:06 LSD! :>)

[capehorn1974]

OMG the real audio, SWEET

[Jolie028]

I like it!

[chaebreannak]

not as good as the recording but still great

[faeryquene]

This is precious to me just because I think it is the only live concert of the Mamas & the Papas that was recorded. :(
