I wonder who's here in 2023.... Bless the ones who kept their heads together through all Drugs, and the ones who Died fighting in Viet Nam. SAN FRANCISCO SUNDAY, Haight St. SUNDAY AFTERNOON VISTOR. Still here.
Classic video.. I know this one. Not really a Dead Head.. because I only saw them 50 times ! Hehe.. That's Rock Scully in the interview, the bands road manager..real nice guy !
Has anyone noticed how much Bill throughout his entire career looks to his right shakes his head like He's saying no and then says no even when there's no one there.
Don't think he's tripping in the interview. In fact they mention in the interview most of them are past using psychedlics and just trying to put in action what they learned. Garcia himself said on one occasion they tried playing on acid but could barely function, which I believe. That being said, there are a handful of bands who did play on acid regularly, THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR ELEVATORS for example. :)
@@KarlShefelman you really do have some things mixed up. The Grateful Dead played on LSD many times. There were times during the acid test where they couldn't function but there are many documented shows where they were tripping. That is a historical fact and it doesn't take much of an internet search to find that information. Also the man that was speaking about not taking LSD wasn't even a member of the band.
Who's mixed up? That interview is '67. They were tripping while playing the acid tests which were late '65 thru '66 and Jerry himself said later they could barely function. With all due respect, don't try and "school me" I've read and researched and this stuff.@@psst...heyyou6508

Yeah I think it was fair and accurate. And I've had a life long fascination with Jerry Garcia. I only saw him 3 times, wish I saw him more. The last time I saw him he was absolutely wrecked by drugs. I think the narration here is pretty spot on, but I also think what Garcia said was very helpful and accurate. The structured and ultra-busy modern life just seems unfulfilling at times.... looking for another way is completely understandable to me.
Jerry was clearly very intelligent. The rest of the guys are coming out with clichéd hippy statements but Jerry has clearly thought deeply about everything he says before he says it.
you do realize this is way back in the 60s Acid rock blues rock psych rock hard rock heavy metal these terms were used interchangeably in the 60s, if anything its more than apt use of the word bc thats where they all originated from.
What is so wrong (in 2024) with the idea that 'we do not want anybody getting hurt, and we do not want to hurt anybody.' I wish.... Wisdom of the a trip - needs to be lived .....Still. And today more than ever....
It’s funny to hear some folks decry the the supposed decline of journalistic objectivity and honest media, but then you see pieces like this - blatantly slanted, extremely one-sided, borderline propagandistic - from the good old days and realize most of the media has *always* sucked major ass. I don’t know who produced this documentary or whether they were a mainstream org, but surely you could hear the same kind of crap on any ‘serious’ news program covering the hippy phenomenon at the time.
Not that there weren’t things to criticize about hippies, there’s plenty. It’s just clear that whoever created the doc set out from the beginning to paint a certain picture, putting its conclusion far ahead of any of the actual material in the film, and likely selectivity editing the latter to match the former.
the 60s seemed like a lot of fun but most of what he said turned out to be true lol. you can't create a peaceful world with LSD and rock concerts, and drug use did end up becoming a problem in the lives of many of them. i think "the wave" speech from Fear & Loathing In Las Vegas sums it up really well. it was a beautiful sentiment but it was over and proven wrong before it even really began. not to mention commercialized to hell. The Dead is really the outliers in staying somewhat true to the 60s ethos.
Cub reporter Harry Reasoner of CBS fame, ( yes, really, that's his name) trying to reason out hippiedom. Having been there then, there really was no reasonableness to it. It was all pretty extreme. Fun while it lasted, done and dusted pretty quick. But still a valuable time and place in World history. Glad I made it, glad I survived it.!
Segments like this are what ruined the San Fran hippie scene, it was a pretty brilliant employment of propaganda if you think about it. Enticing the kids and terrifying their parents at the same time.
Lmfao the 60s generation ruined it themselves, even George Harrison was disgusted at what he saw during the Haight “heyday”. Ya why wouldn’t an enclave of drug seeking teens who dropped out of school, have zero work ethic, and zero life experience, thrive? Must have been those “segments” 😅
@@billywatson118 you laugh because you know it’s true 🤣. To be honest blotter acid was my absolute favorite many years ago in my youth. I think that stuff died with poor Jerry Garcia 🥺😢😢. Since my youth is long gone , once in a blue moon I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do it again . But then the adult kicks in and reality sets in😂😂. IN ORDER😂🤣😂. I don’t have 18 hours to kill / I wouldn’t know where to get any since I started paying a mortgage but MOST IMPORTANTLY! Even if I got my hands on some 🥹🥹🥹I’m afraid I might not come back from the magic garden at my age and I’d be stuck in a permanent trip. 2 of my classmates from the 70’s and 80’s are still alive but loved acid waaaaaaay too much and now “ They ain’t right “ anymore 😂😂😂but those boys going to many dead shows allowed me to experience it for many colorful years😂😂😂😂. OH YEAH ! Mushrooms don’t have 💩 on some good old fashioned blotter acid . A drug that can make you say to yourself “ I HOPE I DON’T GET ANY HIGHER THAN THIS” 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣. And the 2 or 3 hours of uncontrollable laughter 😂😂😂😂😂. Don’t even get me started on the red mescaline trip I had in catholic school 😮😮😮😮😮OH MY GOD ! 🤣🤣🤣. I’m lucky I’m still alive
HIPPIES!!! circle the wagons. Seriously though these guy or at least Garcia was singing a different tune about drugs a few years later. Don't forget he died in a rehab center.
Okay so the society dropped out but danced in the streets and protested things? Read about MKULTRA if you take the government’s side in the matter. Acid can be dangerous but it depends on the minds using it and most found communion
This bit of hilarious propaganda was almost certainly produced without CIA oversight with the goal of turning on more young adults to the new hippie scene. Ostensibly to create a straw man to tear down the psychedelic and peace movements. At this time half the psychedelics were being taken by the professional class. Obviously that was very dangerous to the government and their established order, to have influential, intelligent people expanding their minds and becoming open to new possibilities. By associating these plants and chemicals with hippies, they could easily play up the dangers and make it all appear silly to most people. It was a very clever strategy, at least in the short term.
I found much to learn from acid but you are correct that it can be dangerous to some minds. To me I've never had issues with it but a friend of mine gets schizophrenic episodes from acid occasionally so he had to stop taking it for his own good.
What are you talking about? The guy who is talking is giving a pretty fair image of them. He's not even really judging them that bad, just saying that as a revolutionary temper it wasn't really organized, and it alienated most of American workingclass by being in your face which he says is "childish", in some ways i even get the sense the narrator admires them partly.
What are mild mouse people? Thankfully in my opinion to the dead were like the first rock fusion band. To call them just a standard rock band is incorrect. They just combined genres. Rock music for the most part is boring and had been dead for decades
I love how it’s treated like an introduction to your enemy
I wonder who's here in 2023....
Bless the ones who kept their
heads together through all
Drugs, and the ones who
Died fighting in Viet Nam.

Hard rock lol
😂 to be fair, for a 1960s news broadcaster even Frank Sinatra was “hard rock”
They were definitely hard rock during this time period. I don't get what's confusing about that.

Man, i know that Jerry didn't have a middle finger but this narrator deserved one!!!
nah he seems pretty on point; you would be salty if a bunch of idiots blocked the road to listen to shit garbage music blared from an apartment.

@@haikat4did you even watch the interview? They literally say they are past psychedelic use…
He's right.
Yeah he is lol.
Billy really was a looker back in the day...I was Born in the 70s so only recall when he looked a bit like Bill Murray..

luckiest people alive, living in the 60's-70's must of been a great time
Narrator-that's the problem of the world people robots. JERRY &DEAD Best!
The narrator is hilarious
I feel like i was born about 70 years to late
These guys were just too early
How have we regressed so far from here...

What ruined the hippie movement was all of the 'fans' that backed down and got desk jobs had 4 kids and taught them all to also be sheep.
Like you.
Neat
I got to see one of them escorted I was doing security he was so old and had the finest girl with him
Grateful Dead = Hard Rock 😂😂😂
They were...back in the 1965-70 period. But the sound did change after that.
They were definitely hard rock in that time period bud time has a lot of context when it comes to an art form that isn't even 100 years old
Just as the way an unruly child will act up in a way that attracts adult intervention...Then complain about it. lol
If only the reporter knew HE could be educated too if he wanted. imagine seeing this as a waste 😅
The colors these guys were seeing during the interview 🤣🤪😳🤣🤪😳

Find a safe place to exist, the world has had enough of contending with LSD, for your own good don't deserve to really you know....
Yeah, good English there professor! 🤨
Hey man don’t talk over Jerry’s guitar solo
Was this Grateful Dead jam September 67?
Had they seen tailgate parties?
Goddayum hippies
Harry Reasoner, right?
Sounds like Harry Reasoner
Oh Bobby
HIPPIES!!! circle the wagons. Seriously though these guy or at least Garcia was singing a different tune about drugs a few years later. Don't forget he died in a rehab center.
Because coke and heroin are horrible drugs that help close you off from the world around you
Who are the two guys who aren’t in the dead? The curly haired guy and the one with the pointy nose
the curly haired guy kinda looks like abbie Hoffman
Might be Phil
Pointy-nosed one looks like their manager rock scully.
Your right
And where's Pigpen? Is that Tom Constanten on Bobby' right?
“Most of us have given up the psychedelic drugs anyway”. Man I love the dead but that’s the biggest pile of horseshit I’ve ever heard 😂

What of it?
If only more people dosed and experienced it. Maybe the world would have chilled TF out because JFC some people NEED it. Lol This simulation sucks.
"hard rock music"
Dead is hard rock.Lol i wonder what they considered black Sabbath if dead is hard rock
Is bob dylan there wtf
In one shot he looks like nob dylan in 66
Kacper where
That's roc scully, their road manager
Bob Dylan sucks
@@kacperfornal5998 "Nob Dylan" 😂
The reporter is a square
It sounds like Harry Reasoner, a MSM TV news journalist back then. I believe he even went to Vietnam at least once to do reports in the field.
The Grateful Dead "Hard Rock"? 🤣🤣🤣
Hard Rock? LOL
Lol hard rock music
“Hard rock music.” The Dead ? Just wait til Zeppelin comes along, Grandpa !

Till heroin and cocaine took over
Do not stay stuck in transition, it wastes time reproving people. Just be......YOURSELVES.

Grateful dead are like the vanilla ice cream of rock music. Mild mouse people's idea of what rock is.
Well, what about blues, folk, folk-blues, r&b, free form jazz rock? I mean, who are you comparing them to -- Black Sabbath?
Now Howard Roark really likesGG Allin. It's not rock music if lead singer isn't shiting in his hand and jerking off with it.
expand on this? i think i disagree.
