Psychedelic rock is a style of rock music that attempts to replicate the mind-altering experiences of hallucinogenic drugs. It emerged during the mid 1960s among garage and folk rock bands in Britain and the United States. Psychedelic rock is a bridge from early blues-based rock to progressive rock and heavy metal, but it also drew on non-Western sources such as Indian music's rāgas and sitars.
While the first contemporary musicians to be influenced by psychedelic drugs were in the jazz and folk scenes, the first use of the term "psychedelic" in popular music was by the "acid-folk" group The Holy Modal Rounders in 1964, with the song "Hesitation Blues."[citation needed] The first use of the word "psychedelic" in a rock music context is usually credited to The Deep, and the earliest known appearance of this usage of the word in print is in the title of their 1966 album The Psychedelic Moods of the Deep. Roky Erickson, lead singer of The 13th Floor Elevators, coined the term 'psychedelic rock' in a 1966 interview. In 1962, British rock embarked on a frenetic race of ideas that spread back to the U.S. with the British Invasion. The folk music scene also experimented with outside influences. In the tradition of Jazz and blues many musicians began to take drugs, and include drug references in their songs. Beat Generation writers like William Burroughs, Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and especially the new exponents of consciousness expansion such as Timothy Leary, Alan Watts and Aldous Huxley profoundly influenced the thinking of the new generation. In late 1965, The Beatles unveiled their brand of psychedelia on the Rubber Soul album, which featured John Lennon's first paean to universal love ("The Word") and a sitar-laden tale of attempted hippy hedonism ("Norwegian Wood", written by John Lennon). The British rock act The Yardbirds recorded the single "Happenings Ten Years Time Ago" in 1966, another track frequently cited as the first psychedelic song, this one due to its frantic evocation of drug-induced paranoia.
Psychedelia began in the United States' folk scene with New York City's Holy Modal Rounders introducing the term in 1964.[citation needed] A similar band called Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions from San Francisco were influenced by The Byrds and the Beatles to switch from acoustic music to electric music in 1965. Renaming themselves the Warlocks, they fell in with Ken Kesey's LSD-fueled Merry Pranksters in November 1965, and changed their name to the Grateful Dead the following month.[citation needed] The Dead played to light shows at the Pranksters' "Acid Tests", with pulsing images being projected over the group in what became a widespread practice.

60s Warlocks/Dead did not play the same type of music as the Elevators. They had heavier shit to say and played their instruments the same. I mean, if you can name a band that was doing what they were doing I'm all ears. I'm talking jefferson airplane-type, doors, early pink floyd. of course they all came after. maybe I decipher bands differently than most but last I check there weren't many similarities between Phish and Dead Meadow.... maybe the drugs.
the point is, this "documentary" should not have been called the History of Psychedelic Rock. It's kind of like finding out whats going on in the world from tv... you dont get all of the info, slightly ignorant and definitely wrapped in plastic.
If I saw both bands in the 60's & have known since 1966 how different they are, why tell me? When you say They I don't know which one you mean. Who's they who I can or can't name a band that was doing what they were doing? I don't know much about Phish at all & don't know Dead Meadow at all. So, I'm kinda lost with what your trying to say, to me. But I agree Dead & 13th didn't play the same kind of music.
"They" is obviously 13th, in reference to the heavy. Phish is to grateful dead as dead meadow is to elevators. the bands I named are merely examples of where each genre is today. each separate genre. which again takes me back to my point as listed below. don't get me wrong man, I love the grateful dead and the like but I just think this doc is too bias and ignorant to be considered a documentation of the History of Psychedelic ROCK. Why not "the history of noodling"? seems more suiting.
Bill Graham who saw everybody "The Grateful Dead aren't the best at what they do; they are the only ones that do what they do" Although people tried to put them in multiple ones they never fit in any genre. Like 13th did in the narrow genre of Psychedelic Music being The Dead's music touched on many genres & musical forms with no boundaries that blew past all genre's & took them places uniquely their own from the start, different than anybody. So no, they don't fit in your narrow box.
I can get on board with that. you are right. and this doc is still misleading. Tunnel-vision. not completely true. yada yada. no Elevators, no Doors. rubbish I say.
Good & I agree 13th from the start & Doors should be there for sure but there's a reason why they talk to who they do, so don't think it's all rubbish. Kesey's Tests was the start of a whole new thing & SF was the pulse beat of the whole new scene & music that was Psychedelic & Rocked & Dead wasn't noodling around back then but yes 13th & Doors major shakers & movers who should be talked about if your talk'en Psy-co-dellic Music.
David Crosby has a difficult time getting along with anyone and everyone, thanks to his prolific substance abuse tendencies. My brother had a run-in with him in the mid 1980's while playing roadie for some local outfit that had the misfortune to share a stage with whoever he was playing with at the time.
