[dave777blaster]

1962 to 1968 was dominated by Bob Dylan in folk scene 1962-1965 and then rock 1966+ ,Beatles,Rolling Stones ,Sam Cook ,......

[trains1972]

have they changed the rules about ending sentences with prepasitions?

[TheFupaKing]

Love this.

[Musixux]

very nice

[gevelhet]

i hate being born in the '90. I love the '60

[stoneycartoon]

[strategery101]

Brilliant work!

[xConallMacCx]

I should have been born in 1940, DAMN YOU GRANDFATER TIME !

[jenniferTex15]

Wow outstanding video what a education , thank you.

So thats what my parents were doing when they were young.

Wonderful.

[Jeorjful]

[MODSandSKINS69]

Dude. so well made.

[anorris1212]

Dude, great video. I was a kid during the 60's, and didn't have a clue until later (1970's). You have a good basic view of the emotional, and physical uprising that happened. It is really amazing the way the youth of then changed the attitudes of North America.

Now you have to do one for the 1970's. LOL

[deansusky]

Great video ,,of great songs which were a movement ,,and today we have almost nothing

[DevilBoy1254]

very well done good job

[reddnec]

A - plus you are brilliant! Really draws one in. Nice comparisons.excellent!

[mrblakems]

who' says people now don't do drugs to expand their mind ?

[napagusagain]

@mrblakems In the frooture maybe drugs actually will expand the mind.

[hippybythesea]

On 5 September 1965, in an article in the San Francisco Examiner about the new "Bohemian" scene developing in the Haight-Ashbury district, Michael Fallon labeled its members "hippies."

[hippybythesea]

The Beatles grew up in post-war Liverpool, a busy shipping port on the west coast of England. Because of the shipping, sailors (known locally as Cunard Yanks) were constantly coming and going with goods they had brought home from, amongst other places, the USA. These goods were frequently American recordings of blues, jazz and rock and roll artists that were not available in England at the time, England still being in the grip of post-war rationing. also buddy holly and bob dylan inspired them

[Princeboy99]

I'd give you a A+ easily on this

[sunshinegal1946]

I ejoyed this video because everything said here is true. Without the music of the 1960 's we would'nt have enjoyed being kids & teenagers. This era changed everything about life, music, marriage, hair styles, mini skirts, boots to our knees, seamless panty hose, Go-Go Dancers, dance fads & enjoying life. We didn't have to hurry up to grow up.

I think this young lady did an excellent job. Sometimes too much is not good.

Thank you for posting this video.

God bless everyone.

[bmxryda420]

i was meant to grow up then..... but i didnt lol

[Talonsage]

I loved it..JimmyW..if she was making a movie maybe she would make all people happy

[SuperGabe55]

whats suck is america will never get that era back

[CaptainKnuck]

stop with the long comments and enjoy the music.hahah.just kidding

[sndbrg23]

This is a great video. I am teaching the Outsiders and trying to give them background knowledge of the time period. Most of them do not know how the music they listen to today has been impacted so much by its predecesors. I will be showing my class portions of the video. Thanks!

[zashie84th]

Bravo!

[mgrima17]

The 1950's were the beginning of the teenage error where the transformation from childhood to adulthood wasn't so immediate. The one way thinking of the 50's came to an end mid 50's. I think you'll find a lot of the artist you have mentioned started their careers in the late 50's. I just don't think that the 50's were as straight forward and narrow minded as you suggested. If it wasn't for the developments in the 50's much of the music created in the 60's would not become this historical music

[pannoni1]

@mgrima17 It's almost if there are really five "decades" between 1939 and 1979. 1939-1945 of course was the "forties" with WWI and Swing music. 1946-1954 were the "cold fifties" with Tin Pan Alley style ballads, McCarthyism, nuclear war threats, and VERY VERY conservative. 1955-1962 were the "hot fifties" with rock n roll, Beatniks, Elvis, the start of the space race, and is really the transition between the "cold fifties" and the "real sixties" (1963-1971), with the "Seventies" the 1972-79 era.

[fighttheracists]

The idea that everything was dull, bland, boring and repressive in the 1950s is a myth and a stereotype. It's a gross simplification.

Country Joe and the Fish were a band that admired mass murderers such as Josef Stalin and Mao Zedong. "Country Joe" was one of Stalin's nicknames.

Stalin was responsible for the murder of over 40 million people.  He intentionally created a famine in the Ukraine that resulted in the deaths of 8 million people.

[corgi4u]

@fighttheracists Have you done ANY research on this or is it just your paranoid right wing delusions. I suspect that you would like to go back to the 50's and relive the mccarthy era, right? After all, there is nothing that a neo-con, Republican tea party member would like than to go back to as much as having your rights taken away. As Ben Franklin said "People who would give up liberty for a little security deserve neither." think about it for a minute, maybe you will figure it out.

[Ulansananelan]

now come to drugs: the difference is people from the 60s doing helpfull psychedelic good weak soft drugs like marihuana or acid(yes acid is not a hard shit) but people today take all this hard shit like crack heroine cocaine alcohol and and and it will be nice when people notice this difference from 60s and today.

[brent213]

Thank you SP27! I will use this in a college course in Taiwan (and I will give you a full citation). Thanks for posting this! It's a great attention-grabber!

[7304Ancestry]

There is a lot more to my generation besides drugs. We fought stupid rules, getting ourselves in trouble in the meantime. Can you imagine going to school now in the cold climate's and not being allowed to wear a pair of slacks? ( that rule was changed the year after our year graduated). Our school books were way over 20 years older than the year we were going school. Think about that a bit.... How about the Viet Nam war? All we ever heard on the nightly news was how many men died that day! Cont:

[tracylucy24]

you did a great job and I think that the 60's made the music. Today I sure wish we had artist like they did in the 60's, because you could always understand and relate to the words they sung.

[popeye1250]

Yeah, big powerfull cars that got 10 mpg and when they broke you'd just push them over a cliff, collect the insurance on your "stolen" car and get another one!

Those were the days!

The cops would ask to see our draft cards and we'd throw ice cream shakes into the cop car at them and screw! They could never catch us because those hippos couldn't get over the nearest fence. Ah, the memories!

[senitle]

hi there liked this collection of clips songs and events growing up in Dundee Scotland u.k

there was a great influence on us concerning American groups and the Conservative way of living which still exists today thank for the trip down memory lane for a 60 year old

[sal9917]

I wish we still had this kind of music nowadays. now u have rap which is spelled CRAP. LONG LIVE THE ROCKIN 60s!!!!!!!!

[mindspeedracer]

windows movie maker..a wonderful thing..this video is kinda amazing and i really agree with it and you of course! well done

[MixedUpMeows]

I would love to go to the 60's, be a hippy and protest listening to music and getting trippy then sign up for war in Vietnam and live the whole entire 60's :P

[krissyjeshi]

Fantastic video! Whats the song at 4:10 ?

[90carlw]

@krissyjeshi drive my car, by the beatles

[krissyjeshi]

@90carlw Lol sorry, I mean the one after Drive My Car.

[90carlw]

@krissyjeshi Oh right no worries, the song after drive my car is white rabbit by jefferson airplane :)

[krissyjeshi]

@90carlw Hye, thanks a lot :D

[90carlw]

@krissyjeshi No problem :D

[guruconnector]

how to download here,,,on google vids has download button,,,

[TheDilligan]

that was great man, love the video

[swimrgirl10]

you know...i think this is very good...would have been better with bob dylan but still great job!

[LinzyMcMurter]

My lifes aspiration is to be involved in not only a musical revolution, but a cultural revolution promoting freedom of thought, and the ability to think individually as a person yet collectively as humanity. I think our youth is too much controlled by the soulless, materialistic meanings behind todays "music" and the repetitiveness of the past 3 decades... perhaps the time is nearing for positive change. Lets renew the meaning of the language of our souls!! Peace n love

[qOqiiemOnzteRliitaah]

The 60 was like the revolution of the areas

Give All the peace in this world!!

[repacementsfan]

The Stooges, The MC5 and The Velvet Underground are all my favorite 60's bands. Just as revolutionary but in a different sort of way.

[fuckingprincezz12]

amazing video!!!!!!! XD

[TheGametaco]

good video but for real...music has changed a WHOLE lot because back then it was rock and roll then up untill the 80s and 90s punk rock was every where. but sadly punk rock and all good music ended in (as i can recall) 2005 or 2006 then its all rap and stupid hip-hop gangster crap. now it is still hip hop and rap but the real music lovers still wright songs of rock Maybey the real music will come back mayby it wont we just got to keep our eyes open maybey on of us could start it all over again

[throwingswitch1]

yo u are ignorant to music!!! plain n' simple! u are the reason why there is no culture in the US. srry to be so harsh GameTaco but just read what you have written sir/mam. like for real! "its all rap and stupid hip-hop gangster crap" do you know the orgin of fucking rock and Roll???? do you know the orgin of rap????? Do some research Taco. if you want to publish ignorant things about music then do it some where else. people like you are reason we dont have world peace!! narrow minded SOB!

[xJonneyReillyx]

@TheGametaco dude punk was 70's, early 80's and ended in early 80's. Punk fucking sucked it was a bunch of brats that got a hold of daddys hair gel, hippys knew how to do it, take some shit and chill.

[LittleBirdPathfinder]

We need another revolution away from some of the garbage that exists in today's government...music could lead that!@(%*#)^%&#&)%^

[deltorso]

Very good and well made !

[ILoveLauriePartridge]

Excellent post! Just superb! :-)

[PenzancePete]

When songs were about fun and love rather than motherf***ing and gangsta violence.

[DazedSpy2]

@PenzancePete its only about gangsters and violence if your a nigger or you want to be. ;]

[abductedbyaliens8892]

i love the beatles......

[whatevergoes66]

me too!

[abductedbyaliens8892]

love it all, the 60s were great, but it ended when the manson killings happened...

[ieatpilli]

People also did drugs to escape (back then i mean)...but yeah the main use of it was for expansion of the mind...not that i think it expands the mind

[sxymxy13]

that was really great and well made!

[DBZmetaldude2]

We need another musical revoultion away from this mainstream garbage. We need music with heart and soul again. Love live the 60's!

[Corrado900]

true true, there needs to be a new generation of music that is not controled by the corporate world

[napagusagain]

@DBZmetaldude2 There's a lot of great music out there. You just have to look for it, just like they did then.

[dnbMPython]

@DBZmetaldude2 I agree 100% with you but...is it possible to have another musical revolution?

[KRUSTYskates]

@DBZmetaldude2 listen to The Black Angels

[DBZmetaldude2]

@KRUSTYskates I actually have them in my music library. A great band to say the least.

[kyromoto]

wow such a great vid. I really share the passion you have for the 60s and the music that came out of that time. I also wish people now a days would not just do drugs to escape and ruin there lives but use it for a purpose like they did back in the day. I loved every song you played. great job and if ur teacher didnt give u an A im going to beat the tar out of them LOL

[curtisthompson34]

luved it thxs

[ovechkin100]

you talk about the 1960s music revolution AND YOU DONT EVEN MENTION, THE ROLLING STONES? what is wrong with you.

[skatespom]

or the Grateful Dead, but still props on the whole idea. she obviously couldnt fit all the Godsent bands into one powerpoint. but still covers everything.

[leeea7x]

people these days do drugs also do drugs to expand there minds duh..

[girliXXXX]

good work..i Like it ;)

[mrbassman25]

i love the 60's , the music, the clothes. the love and peace.lol

If ur going to San Francisco is propbably one of my all time favorite songs...

also Jefferson Airplane's Stuff.

Summer in the city is also a favorite :)

cool vid

[monet4ever101]

i've got an off the wall question, in the 50's and 60's how did people watch movies at home? was it even possible? please, i'd appreciate anyone who knows to shoot me an email. thanks.

[mrbassman25]

im no expert... but i love hearing old people's story's... from what i gather... only the well off could have tv's in the 50's

.. sometimes only one household would have a tv and the neighbours would all gather for a nite infront of it.. one channel and transmission finished at 7/8pm most nights. lol

Cinema/picture house's were extremely popular too... but in the 60's tv's were way more affordable ;)

[LidianaImeri]

it's so great.

thank you! ♥

[mightymouse666]

I love this. <3

[codyclayrice]

music died after the 90s

[xxgothikgirlxx]

so true :( now music is just about stupid stuff and has no actual meaning.

[myheartisinhishands]

you are so right!

[wetsponge555]

cool...love the way you finished off when the white rabbit peaks... ",

[scarhand18]

I LOVE THIS VIDEO ALL THE SONGS ARE GREAT PEACE DUDESyeah:,D!!!!

[JohnLennon4King]

the beatles tomorrow never knows would have been good during the drug bit

[jimmywenzel]

Excellant video well put together,but with one massive glaring ommision.1960's music revolution and no mention of Bob Dylan come now .................?

[SergeantPepper27]

I realize that I didn't put Bob Dylan in my project. That is simply because there where entirely too many notable artists in the 60's to mention them all. I love Bob Dylan. I did a very extensive project over him this past school year for my AP English 3 class. Looking back at the video, I probably should have mentioned him

[jimbronxny]

You did a h-ll of a job, thanks

[napagusagain]

@SergeantPepper27 You can't talk about the Beatles going hippie without mentioning Dylan, because that is the change from Elvis Beatle to Hippie Beatle, right there. It's the same for the Beach Boys.... That crazy Dylan changed them. BTW Elvis hated Hippies.

[ddchil41]

@SergeantPepper27

Yes, it occurred to me that Bob Dylan was not mentioned as well...He was a driving force in this era as well.

[strychn1ne5000]

nice job, good content.

[sisterzanas]

Great video, well done

[Janiart11]

This is actually like amazing, i love this video, everything is true, and yeah, really good! :]

[dayz93]

wow!...this was a great video

it opend up my eyes in many ways

in how the world we live in now

will never be like before...great job!!

oh!!...n if sum one kud please tell me what song is the last one playing???

[Janiart11]

white rabbit - jefferson airplane

[jimbronxny]

White Rabbit/Jefferson Airplane. I am 58 and thank God I lived in that era. I was a hippie and also am a Vet. Go figure. I conitinued to be a hippie in the Army along with thousands of my brothers and sisters. Plus we did our job. We still got spit on by people when we returned. But life goes on. Peace

[Revolutioncasino]

Ah the 60's - glad I was there. Nice work, what grade did you get on it?  The love, peace, misunderstanding of youth, yes - drugs, Timothy Leary, and the best music of all time led to a lot of deaths at schools, great musicians, soldiers, and many friends. But - the music still lives today. Long Live Rock N Roll. Go ask Alice - when she's 10 feet tall.... I am still on the long and winding road singing Yesterday, My Guitar gently weeps...I guess I'll Let It Be. Peace, Love and Imagine.

[samanthalynn6790]

One thing I would have included was the assassination of Kennedy and the baby boom, but other than that I think it was great. I can tell you're probably a pretty big Beatles fan too, as am I.

[michelleuk]

Great selection of songs, if only we could go back in time,

[johnpaulgeorgerings]

I totally agree with you. ( can't spell sorry)

[xXxjmfxXx]

I wish I was alive in the 60s, no (c)rap or shit-hop! Just good old rock n roll and other good music.

[JediBen16]

Totally man, It sounds to me like a hell of a lot better place to live than in todays world...but what can ya do ya know? :)

[hippiekever]

I loved it, just a history class but then about something i like to know more about ir. good work

[cRaZyHoOpS123]

Thank you!!!! you helped me write a huge paper !

[killshot16]

i enjoyed that. i'm learning about the 60's and "youthquake" right now in my history class

[musicangel1721]

Good, except you say the Vietnam War was a big part of the music revolution--which it was. But you're leaving out five years of the early sixties when there was a change already taking place. I think maybe you should have mentioned Joan Baez and epecially Bob Dylan, you know, given credit to the folk singers of the early sixties. They played a large part in this.

[eldinho1979]

I'm sorry - but Rock n Roll of the 50s came directly out of the Southern States "Acoustic" Blues (c.1920 - present) into Chicago "Electric "Blues (c.1940 - present) mixed up with a little white American "Country" music. .......... by my reckoning, Jazz greats like Miles owed their music to musicians like Louis Armstrong (Trad/Dixie/N.Orleans style Jazz (c.1900 - present) mixed later on with "Swing" (c.1930 - present) which morphed into "Be-bop" (c.1945- present), "Cool Jazz" etc etc :-)

[demonson117]

Dear xrock712,

I am downloading this video to show my freshman class the importance of how media affects culture and how to deconstruct media into literary elements, in this case media being music. There is more to this video than you know. I absolutely love this video because it shows setting and time. I think Emily did an awesome JOB and it is deserving of a HUGE thumbs UP!! :)

[SergeantPepper27]

Thank you!

[guruconnector]

@demonson117 how to download here,,,on google vids has download button,,,

[exrock712]

My god help us all. If this isn't a product of the New Left educational model I don't know what is. Why isn't your English class teaching essential literacy skills rather than accepting projects like this? This poor child sounds like she is completely devoid of critical post war history, as this video makes sweeping generalizations and omits absolutely huge events. This is why our educational model has failed our nation.

[SergeantPepper27]

The assignment was to do a project over something you'd never researched before. I could have done ANYTHING. I realize that A LOT of stuff was left out and most topics glazed over, but I think I did a pretty good job considering that I was in the 10th grade when I made it. I'm sorry that my generalizations and omissions upset you so, but I couldn't possibly make a completely accurate video about EVERYTHING that lead up to the musical history of the 1960's. Any attempt at such would be futile.

[cjthemusicman]

You did a great job summarizing those important years - being as young as you are - and I was impressed, especially in a 7 minute vid. *****'s to you!

[AbuAvital]

As a "child of the 60's" I loved the film. It deserves to be expanded, however it was encapulated very well.

[GhiaRu]

Hey YoungBlood. Great Job, and even Greater choice of assignment. This was my era and I can truly relate. Ive seen many come, and many go. But the music will forever live. It was an era where people pulled together to Live, to standup and be herd Many rights were won, only to be lost today by those that dont realize what others have won for them.

[ELDIVISADER0]

good memorys

[xashleyxisxhardcorex]

Good video. Kept my attention pretty well. my only critique is that jim morrison died of heart failure, not an overdose.

[123aidankirrane321]

This video is very good...

I can tell a lot of thought and effort was put into it :-)

[hugosleestak]

Not badly organised at all. But I had to smile: A time when all the kids had the same hair ... the same clothes ... the same music ... a time of individuality known as the 1960's.

[ANNIEMCLAUGHLIN123]

man, i wish i could do a project on this.

[dilibau]

lol I see at the number of views 9,999 !!!!! o_O am I the 10,000?

[lovedungeon]

This is Cool

Jefferson Airplane rocks!

[ectwilight910]

OMG!!! thank you sooooooo much for posting this up... im doing a project on the 1960's and this helped more than all the boring bio's that ive read... again THANK YOU!!!!!!!

[desimation]

extremely well thought out and put together. but rock'n'roll was born in the 40's

[FattWiley]

What is the played when it gets to the part about drugs right after the beetles

[jordanfan1023]

"white rabbit" by jefferson airplane

[Nastythevillain]

How come you didn't mention anything about Bob Dylan? He's only the most influential artist of all time

[SergeantPepper27]

I didn't mention a lot of bands that were influential in the sixties because that would have made the video considerably longer...

[wesleysnipes88]

what about the temptations and motown?

[b8050124]

WOW ! THAT WAS POWERFULL !!! GR8 !

[marmusika]

This video is awesome. I am going to use it to introduce th 1960's decade of music in my college class History and Sociology of Rock and Roll Music. Very cool.

[SergeantPepper27]

Thank you so much! Thats so cool that you're going to use it for school. which college are you at?

[bpurdin4073]

Great Job!!!!

[MorrisonPageBarrett]

very awesome video!!!

[mjw3121]

Wow. Reminds me of my bunker back in Nam after we'd come back from a patrol.

[chiburui6]

How does 60's protest music and English 2 class go together?

Yuo'll learn crap about English but a whole lot about a bunch of doper musician's.

[littlebrat672]

EXCELLENT JOB!!! Hope you got an A+

[rainbowless]

whats the name of the last song of the video? ive heard it before but i just dont know what its called... anyway.. awsome video there.. i agree with you, without the 60's music wouldnt be the music from today.. well todays music is crap but it would be pure crap withou the 60s.. did i explain myself?.. hmm i don't know but i loved your video (:

[SergeantPepper27]

Thank you! The last song in the video is White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane...An excellent band.

[yoursunrise]

great!

[joedoe1982]

hope you get an A+

[2pactoliveanddieinla]

1950s that aint rock n roll come on 2 words LED ZEPPELIN baby Drugs Sex n Rock n Roll

[SergeantPepper27]

I agree, Led Zeppelin is an outstanding band. Robert Plant has an amazing voice and Jimmy Page is a god on his guitar, but rock n roll in the fifties wasn't anything like Led Zeppelin. Rock n roll in the fifties was Elvis and Buddy Holly which eventually evolved into the music of bands like Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, and Black Sabbath.

[SkyAboveRiver]

you are so smart and so right.my dad said that when the sixty's ended and the beatils,and when buddy holly died and jim morrison yhat rock was dead.

[GroovyGranny]

Absolutely awesome! I admire your editing skills, I've been making videos for awhile but am still such a novice. Thank you for sharing the great music, words and talent. Peace!

[AdventureSerum]

First post.
