Human Be-In 1967

Uploaded by emessgeeable on Oct 3, 2009
The Human Be-In gathering at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park in 1967 occurred before Woodstock. Allen Ginsberg & Timothy Leary showed up with thousands of their friends. I was a student at UC, Berkeley at the time, and filmed this on regular 8mm silent film. This is the complete, unedited roll of film, transferred to VHS in the 1980's, and digitized in 2009.

Thank you for posting this! This event caused me to realize "Something's happening here..."

For one summer they almost got it right. But violence and frustration from the war closed in. So close, but I know one thing it will never happen again. I was born in 1969 and I always felt I missed something beautiful.

Thank you !!!

Saturday in the Park, January 14, 1967. Before the 14 Hour Technicolour Dream, before Monterey Pop, before the Summer of Love. Before the beginning of time. Owsley's white lightening striking the crowd with great force.

Wow! Thank you so much for posting this. I really feel like I was there. Leary looks so blissed out I can practically see his pupils dilating. This is what YouTube is all about-- sharing history

guitar music with Ginsberg is nice

Thanks for posting. January, 1967. The Human Be-in (being). Get it? Those were definitely surreal times for those who chose to experiment with LSD and expand their consciousness. I know I did.

THANK YOU, emessgeeable, for filming this and posting it!!! I was there ... having a great time looking back! btw: it was white lightning that day that Owsley gave us all to pass it out for the celebration. Virtually everyone there dropped. ;D" Holey schmoley ... what a day that was ... peace ... love ...

I totally agree. The '60's were exciting times for privileged college students like me. But during that period there was also codified segregation in the South and the rapid escalation of the war in Vietnam. And today...

The name of this song is "Plastic Fantastic Lover"

There are 2 songs used. You are correct that the first is "Plastic Fantastic Lover". The second is "Embryonic Journey". Both songs are from the same Jefferson Airplane album. You Tube somehow identified and advertised the second song, and remained silent about the first song.
