look at that girl in the end. she's obviously on high

[willetbrooks1]

This was the last record I played for myself in the last century (New Years Eve 1999).

It just seemed the right bit of music to play.......fantastic.

[countscoopula]

this song is the best song ever while very high on anything period, fucking mystical beyond belief

[bengalboi77]

@countscoopula This whole album is killer!! But i agree the song is trippy

[goingnowherefastman]

Still brilliant....

[Sashabooboo]

Any acousticians out there that can weigh in on what that "croaking" sound might be? It sounds like a bass guitar being manipulated one way or another through the nascent now ancient technology of that musical era.

[dirtymeansteve]

What's that crazy croaking sound? It's not on the album version, is it?  Whatever it is, it takes it to another level.

[girlPeAceAndLoVe]

When I get goose bumps listening to music, this sound just fantastic.

it sounds so TRIPPY amazinggggg.

[vschauf]

not happy w/ some company's attempts to yank down this video, thank you Brody76 for putting this video back up.

Trippy, wonderful song.....................

[Django5198]

incredibly trippy organ

[Django5198]

what scales is the guitarist using for the trippy solo that starts at 3:07?

[pdorn777]

@Django5198 No idea what scale that is, but it sounds almost like an Indian raga. Another thing the "trippy guitar solo" as you call it brings to mind is George Harrison's solo on Revolver's "Tax Man". Allusions aside this is still a completely original instrumental in my book.

[dirtymeansteve]

@pdorn777 Pretty sure McCartney played that solo.

[pdorn777]

@dirtymeansteve  I hear you...no-one at the time could believe that George Harrison played that solo, since he wasn't considered to really have his chops together yet. That said, I double-checked officially released session/studio notes available from various sources and indeed, it was Mr. Harrison himself who played that killer solo on "Taxman". McCartney & Lennon did backing vocals, with the former on bass and the latter on tambourine.

[dirtymeansteve]

@pdorn777 Wow!  Thanks for the info, I was misinformed. A VERY cool solo.

[JamesMcFarlane88]

i took several elements from this performance and used it in my act in kingston,, the glasses, the twangy bouncing beat in the middle there,,, this is the side of my music that isnt the velvet underground

[shyshyjon2092]

What r they using for that wraaa sound during the guitar solo. Its not in the studio version n it sounds so trippy

[Django5198]

@shyshyjon2092 Serious distortion and vibrato fingerwork. Notice the guitarists fingers are almost in a spasm bending the strings up and down unbelievably quickly.

[MrSPiRitualized]

Some fucked up people in the crowd! Quality.

[Crazeyfor67]

PatOShea I loved them both but your so right about Monterey being the best.

[49kasey]

So many stoned people... beautiful. But this is Deep Night Music.

[cosmicdoorway]

Definitely, this concert was better then Woodstock! The concert was much moreorganized, cleaner, no weather problems AND it was the beginning of "the summer of love"!

Plus, the fact, the bands were all coming up, and some, like Jimi Hendrix, gained international fame because of Monterey! Oh yeah ... lets not forget, that, during this era, Peter Max's art, with the black light posters, was starting to pick up big time, also!

[1965blowncomet]

Call it Psychodelic...call it satanic....call it what you want but it was pure genius just the same....an era that was short lived eventually ending partly due to harder drugs....no more LSD.....Herion was in!!! Woodstock was great...but Monetery I thought was better.....Great video!!! Thank you brody76!!

[vandergraaf78]

WoW!! What a sound! What a psychedelic trip!

[siconauta69]

Just beautiful

[socrates1818]

Beautiful girl at 1'13" - wonder where she is now?

[vans1107]

@socrates1818 probably wrinkly as hell with a raspy smoker voice

[thesyd1975]

barry meltons solo just blows me away and i love the swirling organ!!! imagine being there in the crowd that day!!!!

[67675656565655656565]

i remember got really stoned once and heard this song in my head at deafing levels even when it wasnt on.

[brickcity1000]

that guitar solo is trippy....he kills that shit

[brickcity1000]

yea yo lol....the chick at the end is trippin, like hardcore

[PatOShea]

I always thought the music at Monterey was better than Woodstock.

[siconauta69]

@PatOShea Totally agree ç, it was acid and the sense of change and art is there

[AlDroog]

@PatOShea

i would say, both were great... :)

[duckman531]

@PatOShea And you would be correct!

[otiHito]

I've never seen so many nice people at once...

[ManyGodz]

Lots of cute hippie chicks.Wish I coulda been there! Nice footage!

[glimmer2158]

Captain Acid is in the house!

[alkaro]

Everyone is soo stoned lol.

[carolesmagicworkshop]
