The Hippies (1967) The Summer of Peace, Love and Groovy

**Sound begins 9 seconds into the film.**

This is an old compilation video showing vintage footage from the summer of 1967 in the days just before the tides turned on the youth and hippie movement.
Great look at the scene and feeling of the time, set to era music with both video and still, even some old "super-8" film in the mix.
Great rare stuff!

Hi

I am not sure at the moment... trying to find it.

There are many older tunes that will never make CD or DVD, and are lost now...

I am sure that was a San Fransisco band of the era.

I never had it written down, was lucky to have it on an old VCR tape in a box stored for years.

I am sure there is a program you can put a song into and it will find you the title - if not, make an app and get it out there!! What a great idea.

If I figure it out, I will get it up here for you.

@lanchon351 Hi. The whole piece is the same track "White Bird" from the album "Changing Horses" by The Incredible String Band. For the Incredible String Band at their best, try listening to The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter or maybe Wee Tam and the Big Huge.

who cares about an iphone, hd tv and the internet? that's all a bunch of crap. i'd rather have great music and beautiful culture in my life and we don't have THAT today. great trade off...

ironmantis: Fuck that shite! Who the hell cares about the Internet and iphone?

@OrpheusIsThe1 You are correct that 1967, if you look at the world in total, fell far from total peace and love. Also, especially towards the latter part of the Summer of Love in SF's Haight-Ashbury district, there were many newcomers who were not exactly there to find peace and love or a spiritual awakening. Yet, despite all that, the Summer of Love represents an ideal of a grasp for peace and beauty; these effects, though muted, still cast a shadow today, such as via this enduring footage.

What I don't understand is how could 67 be the year of peace and love there was the Nigerian civil war the 6 day Arab Israeli war Turkey and Greece (with Cyprus) The Chola incident and loads of other crap going on in India and Africa, to say nothing of the race hatred in the US so all this peace and love never really existed except in the minds of stoned white rich middle class kids who ran back to Mummy and Daddy once they had had their fun or things got too rough for them. poor little dears

Ah, there is some value to all humans, even you.

@RealityCheckHero The 60's counterculture was a powerful force against racism in American society.

@MrGrevy By that time there wasn't much choice, really. The 70's was brutal.

@kfalcon Seems like the hippies sold out in the 80s
