  • yeah. we need nore hippies

  • Nice to see the old footage of a then 23 year old Steve Miller; Hard to believe he's now 65. Yeah it 's a shame the hippies didn't fully change the consciousness of America back in the 60's, because the values the wealthy few have always had; materialism, greed and money worship have again led us down the road to ruin. IMHO that road to ruin also includes another great depression followed by a humanity decimating third world war. It's nice at least to get a glimpse of what could have been.

  • @riverboatsong Cool, thanks. It's on Fly Like an Eagle but it's a slower version. Peace.

  • @173rdbobby1967 It's "Mercury Blues."  As far as I know the only album this is on is the soundtrack to the 1968 hippie documentary "Revolution."

  • This is pretty stupid stuff, only in L.A. would this guy from up north deliver the hippies directly to the Los Angeles Police Academy less than a mile away when they were so hated by the Police in the day.

    I was at Elysian Park one Easter in 1968 when all hell broke loose and the LAPD had a field day knocking the crap out of every peace loving hippy in sight.

    Yeah folks...those were the days.

  • I drive by Elysian Park nearly everyday, and it's descended into a Mexican slum full of gang graffiti and homeless people.

  • The hippie movement didn't begin and and with the 1960s....it's a living tradition. Hippie love forever!!!!

  • Someone PLEASE tell me what song Steve Miller is playin'!!!!!!

  • @FractalBolt Drop acid, not bombs.

  • why weren't the super disco group the village people at this festival?

  • @MrScarleteagle

    so true!

  • @FractalBolt Without the hippies you probably wouldn't do what you are doing today,

    Steward Brand was a hippy, he invented the internet.

    Steve Wozniak co-founded the first personal computer together with Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, they were all hippies
