  • my left ear is lonely

  • phish

  • I love a lot of psychedelic stuff but I still question the genius in anything that is engineered purely as an effect of drugs and/or intoxication. For someone to have engineered this type of music entirely sober would have said much more for their creativity. The Beatles puked up Revolver as a stint to compete for record sales with the psychedelic groups. It was good music but I highly doubt they would have gone that route if their place in the music scene wasn't being jeopardized.

  • When I saw this program in 1995 it changed my life and changed my way in perception of music. For me psychedelic rock is the best thing who ever happened in rock music.

  • GUESS WHAT.TheTruMetal is NOT a real metalhead.HE'S A WEENIE. LOL XD

  • end of the vid: LOVE THAT QUOTE

  • San Francisco is elitist and self-indulgent. What was rock n roll like in San Francisco in the 60s? They're drugged out.

  • @Khultan dang ol liberal heathens right?

  • @Khultan I agree 100% with the elitist and self indulgent part. It only took about 5 yrs, maybe less, for San Fran to become a slum of strung out, disease ridden, bums living on the streets who had been dancing and free spirited in the beginning. For most, their lives resulted in nothing. The music that was produced at this time was interesting. I, myself, was into psychedelics but I lived in England until 1972. The work of Syd Barrett, in my mind, exceeds anything these hippies were doing.

  • @BreezesofConey I'm from a much later generation than you, it seems. I was an infant during your young time. And since the breakthrough in information in the form of the Internet, I have made and continue to make discoveries about artists in the millions it seems from many eras that don't allow me to hold one individual as a paradigm.

  • big ed psychedelic rock n roll check in to HONG KONG

  • YT doesn't like links ... try this dWvOAxllqbQ

  • hi there..watch my psychedelic music

  • hey fellow trippers, whats the hip jam around 6.30 in?

  • @stephendunham1 13TH Floor Elevator !!!

  • @WeirFaithful thanks man. know the name of the tune?

  • @stephendunham1 He just told you, are you retarded?

  • Comment removed

  • @stephendunham1, Paul Butterfield Blues Band-East-West, I believe.

  • 0:30 True..Paul..Liverpool..Hamburg­....but for some SAD reason,the Dutch portcity...Rotterdam,stayed as fucking stupid and unmusical as ever.

    That's why it's also known as Rotterdamned.They even closed down the redlight district.Can you imagine that ?. They printed it in their tiny minds, they wanted to have a New York skyline ,with result....a big building pit fror the last 40 years.It's rumoured the city counsil asked the Germans in 1940 to do the firs demolition.

  • 2:32 If you sprayed his head with hairspray about 10 times it would make a good crash helmet

  • Look at AmeriKKKa now 50 years all fucked up!!! Wake the hell up, this is what the elite had planned, thats why you maggots are docile now... The goddamn country is facist and you will see when they do the round up one winter... Fema camp USA!!!!

  • "[citation needed]"! The 13th Floor Elevators are the godfathers of psychedelic rock. If you don't know this fact you need to listen to the music of the mid-60s more. Also, the "British Invasion" as they keep calling it, was a bunch of blokes coming to show us how they had learned all their blues licks and psychedelic sounds from American bluesmen like Jimi Hendrix, who they stole from us and had him killed when he wanted to progress and not just play the same sounds over and over. Bob lived.

  • Ringo LOL: "You move this lever and the guitar sounds like a piano. So one asks, why not just use a piano? Well, that's because the piano sounds like a guitar".

  • A video of Golden Road is very cool :)

    Perfect psychedelic world !!!

  • Could be Country Joe and the Fish?

  • Who is playing the guitar at 6:30

  • Mike Bloomfield. It's called "East/West"

  • Lol! Who let Balki in the recording studio at 8:42.

  • What's the song in the background at 1:15?

  • That's "Cream Puff War" off The Dead's first LP.

  • Hey we're Medusa's Playpen, check us out sometime. Have a beautiful day

    I dig the documentary by the way

  • That 3 day Ken Kesey Prankster Acid Test.

    Was called The Trips Festival I was there.

    1/66 Totally completely Amazing what was going on. There was no place in the World taking Freedom Further & Louder & Higher in Mass & Ways like Way Out on The Far Western Edge of the USA.

    Before the Hippie/Flower Child's came.

    High Times in The Wild West..

  • I like these vids, there was a series on (get this) VH1 The 60's or the Hippies. Both have info on the era, not one genre. VH1, (apx 2-3 hours) had a lot of footage of the biggest fests, arrests, and yes, deaths. All the parts of what was being fought against..bring back power to the people, now,voting for a guy offering help to get the power-back. Lets rock the world again, like we did last year! We can keep OUR reps honest, just send emails to them, it works,they are on OUR clock again!

  • hipsters..a little less ignorant, if one must shove a whole generation focused on all kinds of change.. into a BAG. There is some merit to this vid, but they digress in the end and go back to the generalization and the "must do drugs to be cool' garbage. Life goes on, more young people do their own discoveries, unless their parents 'protect' them and they learn nothing except what is taught in college. o well.. It was good to not have it all delivered on a platter, IMHO.

  • Beatles seemed to act like goof balls...But I loved that about them...

  • jeez am i the only one who thinks the beatles swag jacked the dead and all the current happenings in america at that time? ran with the whole sound?

  • Nah mate I agree with you. If it wasn't for those bands and Syd Barrett, The Beatles would still be going with tunes like "I wanna Hold Your Hand."

  • Well, if they did, it was hard to tell, because they were so much better than everyone, John, Paul, George and Ringo were an unbeatable combination, and everyone knew it.

  • Umm, in a word, yes. No disrespect mate but if you think the Beatles ripped off a fairly unremarkable blue band and took that influence to produce Strawberry Fields Forever then i guess we'll just have to agree to differ. I know very little about the GD because none of the run of the mill blues i heard inspired me to check them out further...

  • The Beatles like anyone got ideas from other songs, then usually improved on it. They did inovate and were loaded with talent. I thought most of the songs they did cover turned out better. They figured out pretty quickly they could create original songs, and they worked at.

  • True. I just get really hacked off with people saying the Beatles jumped on the psych bandwagon. Norweigan Wood, 1965, one of, if not THE, first use of a sitar which opened peoples eyes to Indian music and more importantly for the era, Indian philosophy.Then in 66 youve lots of people begining to make pretty trippy music INCLUDING the Beatles. You can hardly say they jumped on the bandwagon cos to my mind theres only 5 or 6 Beatles tracks which could really be described as psychedelia

  • and even by the time Sgt. Pepper came out, they were distancing themselves from the hippy movement cos they were smart enough to see that although it promoted some very important values it was a dangerous mix of commerce and drugs. Harrison went to Haight Ashbury and said it was awful, homeless kids stumbling about smashed on DMT...oh and if were bickering about the 1st psych band, thats easy. 13th Floor Elevators. Nuff said...

  • Harrison flashed in & out real quick one day a year late. What he saw was all the kids who showed up & all the wackos who followed them in who weren't around a year before. I have a whole lot of respect for him & Beatles were Great but that George quote was after the Magic was over & a whole lot of the talented interesting creative literate Originals had already headed out.

    What was left was the kids who bought the Media Hype &'showed up later.

    & fucked it all up.

  • If you did check them out you'd know they weren't a Blues Band.

    That narrow simplistic false box doesn't fit.

    I was born in the same town as The Dead. I saw them play for 40 years.

    Nobody I know ever called them a Blues Band.

    How many Blues Band you know play a lot of music that isn't Blues?

    Beatles did some Blues & R&B that make them a Blues & R&B Band?

    I will give you this, you are smug in your ignorance.

  • Hey bro,theres enough division in the world without ppl arguing about bands.the GD give u a lot of pleasure and im happy for ya.i dunno,maybe its an american thing?i,and all my mates,loved Country Joe,Red Crayola,Elevators but nobody ever liked the GD.Yet the americans i know who smoke a bit adore them.imho they werent psychedelic in sound (a la Barrett era floyd) or ideology (a la Elevators) but hey thats just my opinion...

  • I'm not arguing-I'm talk'en facts.

    You brought it up.Dead wasn't a Blues Band & 13th Floor wasn't The Leader. If you were there you'd agree. Like to have been able to give you a Dose of our own local Bears Greatest Hits & take you to a Dead show at The Avalon Ballroom or Fillmore before The Elavator came to town & you could tell me if it was or wasn't Psychedelic. Happy Trails Amigo

  • So, are all the audiences who seem to be having a real good time

    in all the Grateful Dead Live in England I've heard Americans?

    How bout France & Germany & all the Countrys they played in Europe?

    All pot smoking Americans? How does that box fit? Doesn't fit at all.

    Does it? Maybe a whole lot of people enjoyed something around the World you & your mates don't

  • Comment removed

  • Ummm...im afraid i cant really follow your arguament. too much owsley perhaps?

    i know 2 americans who smoke pot and love the GD. i know 500 english friends who love psychedelia and have no time for the GD. To me its proto prog rock and very dull. i prefer syd barrett. thats just my opinion.dont stress about it bro!

    post me a link and ill check it out...

  • whether the 13th floor elevators were leaders or not is irrlevant, they made the finest psychedelic album easter everywhere...do you know this album...?...slip inside this house...?

  • Tell you what kid. Google- Psychedelic Music Grateful Dead & you can read for days all the people who don't agree with you & hopefully it will help you put your self & your mates opinion in Perspective.

  • ive never doubted the GD are loved by millions of people,most of whom would say they were pioneers of psychedelic music...i just dont see what all the fuss is about, why do you seem to have a problem accepting that i dont like the GD?

    ill ask again,post a link to smt you think might change my mind...i watched a clip of a track called Truckin,which i thought was unimpressive,corny old blues stuff and not exactly psychedelic but i wont judge them on one track...

  • I don't have a problem w/ you not liking them. Not into your box. In your narrow view of what psychedelic music is people who just played what you call psychedelic

    music-They weren't.

    They blew past narrowly defined musical genre from the start & played a eclectic wide ranging no borders mix of music.

    Including some best & 1st Psychedellic.

    Me & my Mates thought the 13th was a OK garage band that's it & if U listen to the Dead's Epic Psychedelic- Anthem To The Sun- you might know why..

  • Comment removed

  • 13th Floor Elevators "an ok garage band and thats it", this is the band that recorded Rollercoaster, Slip Inside This House,Levitation etc...!!! Do you even know these songs? ive downloaded the very unimaginatively titled Anthems but im not overly hopeful.and lets leave it there.youre a Deadhead, and not even the shimmering acid drenched brilliance of Syd Barrett can match the GD.

  • Comment removed

  • It's not & a title like Rollercoaster is?

    You are amusing.

    You ever hear John Cipollina's Quintessential SF Sound Psychedelic guitar? Taking nothing away from Sid or 13th he didn't have to listen to them first to make it. I saw all these bands live at the time-How bout you old sage of all Psychedlic wisdom?

    With respect to Syd as always.

    Happy Trails from where a famous Golden one shines & people from all over related to Anthem to the Sun on many levels... if not you.& your mates.

  • The Grateful Dead were really a crappy band . Their music stink.

  • It's all good lol, people will always think what they want. You'd have to understand the lifestyle and culture more, this video isn't enough ya know

  • Comment removed

  • Well we seem to be the only 2 people alive who think the GD were a boring pub rock band who happened to take lots of acid...but Barrett era Floyd? Cmon Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a fucking masterpiece from one of the most uniquely gifted genius ever...no?

  • As most people who are really Hip to what psychedelic is know as someone said "Anthem of the Sun" is as psychedelic as Bach music is baroque."

  • amen

  • Oh come on the Dead are fucking awesome. Am sorry but u can't compare Barrett to Garcia as a musician. As much as i like Piper at the Gates of Dawn, The Grateful Dead's first 2 albums are incredible.

  • totally agree. Barrett was a stunningly original guitarist,vocalist and songwriter.3 studio albums and not a single solitary cliched blues lick.nobody made music like Syd Barrett, and Syd Barrett made music like nobody else.

    JG was a run of the mill folk blues musician who took lots of acid.

    So yes, i completely agree, you cant compare them...LOL.look im gonna shut up,i dont rate the GD, never have,never will...but i acknowlede that i seem to be in the minority on that point...!

  • Oh right. So the guy that just puts his hand over the fretting area and hits the same note for 5 hours is more talented and original than a guitar wizard. Look here smart arse, before you make dumbass comments like you just did, listen to music. This might enlighten you.

  • What's the melody at 06:30?

  • buen capítulo..el más interesante..je.-... kesey..pranksters..acid-test.-­.........¿alguien sabe dónde está el resto, el de dylan, el del blues...?

  • The Beatles were still the kings.

  • no they werent... they jumped on and off the band wagon...they could play trippy but they couldnt jam... they never played an hour long dark star...everything they did was planned,..nothing spontaneous...no jams... far from kings!

  • I totally agree. Pink Floyd and Grateful Dead jamming in 1965-1966 is where the true trippy psychedelic rock came from.

  • Whats the song starting 7.07 ??

  • the golden road to unlimited devotion.

  • Most of the music they show here still sounds like pop, not real psychedelia

  • ahhhh ahahaha "the hippies are capable of hard work"

  • wtf. I don't see why these people never put the doors or jim morrison in this documentry! they were one of the greatest physedelic rock groups ever...what a pity.

  • Kinharh, they put The Doors in the glam rock one instead.

  • right on dude

  • they arnt only physedelic rock they were a mix of Jazz, rock, and blues

  • "turn off your mind, relax, and float down stream" they took that line from learys book, the psycedelic expirence

  • 1966 not 1996!!
