“It’s the story of a man who went looking for America, and couldn’t find it, anywhere”...
unfortunatly the bastards can be found all over the world
Sadly we can't today either. But if we're lucky during the search. We'll find ourselves. 😉 👍
Godspeed Captain America !
May the wind be at your back as you ride forever on......
Rest in Peace Peter💚✌🇺🇸
Coherente. Lúcido. Creativo. Lo extrañaremos en silencio. "Born to be free..."
RIP Peter and thank you for the memories.
Spoke with him for quite a while one day. He was truly elegant, intelligent, humourous, forthcoming (but not too) and a great raconteur. His departure was one of the most shocking pieces of news ever landed on me. I hope Jack is doing alright. Lots of white light to Margaret, Bridget and Justin. And to Jane. Sincerely yours...
A mutual friend told me Jack is getting well. He’s going on short hikes around Aspen now. I was his neighbor for a while. Jack bought a small farm for the friends of mine near Ledieux, NM. when they were filming in Taos. And he loaned another friend the bread to buy two tractor trailer trucks and get set up in the trucking business. It’s call Two Jacks Trucking. My friend has two Jack Russell Terriers that ride along with him.
I created a blue denim vest , dedicated to Peter fonda. RIP Peter fonda. O8-16-19 . Angels MC. Great actor. Died on the Woodstock 50th anniversary... thanks for the great movies.
Still there man! Stuck in time👊💥at 67 still love it all!!👍
51 years on, I am still searching...….
RIP Captain America Ride Free Brother
My Mom and I saw Easy Rider and Midnight Cowboy as a double feature. Afterwards she said I want to travel and see America. I said I might want to become a Hippie. I think they should have stayed at the Commune. They traveled to New Orleans just to meet a few hookers. That is why I think he said We blew it. RIP Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Karen Black. No one mentions Karen Black but she was a real good actress. I will never forget her in 5 Easy Pieces.
He said we blew it because what people thought of them as people not treated as normal human beings it got to him.
The hookers was just a night of fun but the scenes you can see where it was getting to him and ruining his time he set out for, freedom etc
I've got a few b/w pics of Peter Coyote on a good-looking chopper. I had no idea that Peter Coyote was ever into motorcycles. Kudos to Jim Leonard (who built the best ER replica bikes). Dennis Hopper (RIP)
So sad such a waste of decency fairness & honesty, look @ what our country has come to
Here we are 10 years slnce this video was uploaded. Never mind the 60's, those people from 2012 wouldn't recognize America today.The world has gone insane.
Easy Rider changed my life.
After I saw it In 1977 I was living in my mobile home converted school bus and was working and travelled around and seeing this continent.
The soundtrack of Easy Rider was frequently on the deck and is on my Funeral reel.
May Dennis and Peter be at Peace in Rest.
Thanks boy's for changing my life forever.

They were hipys drugys dirty people
@@osocanadiense2453 You were one of them, Sam?!
@@katherinehunter9526 nop absoluty no that people are leftists they are enemiges of usa
@@osocanadiense2453 No they are not enemies of the U.S.A., your poor education system, your politicians and their policies and ignorance is the Enemy of the U.S.A!!
The Hippies brought people back to eating organic foods, to healthy lifestyles, equality for many groups who were marginalized and oppressed.
The Hippies made us all more aware of our planet and our impact on the natural environment. Of what we say eat and do.
Some of the very best modern music!
So it is clear by your inability to spell, use grammar and punctuation properly, that you failed out of your school system.
Perhaps you should spend more time getting educated, rather than make ignorant statements as comments about something you clearly have No Clue About!!
But still you are spewing Stupid Hateful Rhetoric about a group of people who are Peace Loving and changed the World for the better!
Out of Loving Compassion no hateful rhetoric!!
So that makes you a Hateful Ignorant Troll spreading misinformation and negativity!!
Are you A ignorant Red Neck?
Either way it's Shameful behavior Oso Candiense!
Do you live in your parents basement or under a bridge?
I truly feel deeply sad for people like you, because you are missing out on the beauty and love that the World really is all about!!
Wake up it's time to STOP Hating!
Love Rules, Hate Drools!!
✌❤🙏

@@katherinehunter9526 i have my own house i was policeman all leftists like You are so hipocrites
To ol DH Lawrence!
I hear you Peter! Rest in Peace!
He's the man that started it all in biker movies all the way from wild angels all the way through till stone cold an hells angels for ever
looks like a great documentary series but I can't find it anywhere!!!!! do you know where it can be viewed? I really want to see this.
Americana has always been out there for people to discover. The different parts of our country are so diverse it’s like going to a totally different country. No wonder people come from all over the world to see the real Americana.
In the 1950s and 1960s we didn't live in the complex society of today.
But nowadays we are worst
really nice !! so cool .
And I always loved Dennis Hopper, too. When I take a sip from my flask...
I knew what Peter meant when he said we blew it to Dennis hopper. It took me a while to figure it out then it hit me. Peter had heart and while Billy forgot about the lawyer getting killed and though they had succeeded getting all the money, Peter saw beyond the money and realized that the dead lawyer they left behind was more Important then the money so they blew it with a man getting killed on their trip to Mardi Gras. To Peter the lawyer was more important then the money and they they blew it leaving him there. Billy on the other hand forgets about him here.Peter does not., and so fells bad they left a dead man behind.
Every 10 years or so, I go to New Orleans to the cemetery and drop acid. Peter and Dennis always make an appearance.
I remember back in the 1990's putting the video of this on for a girl I knew at college who had called round, and she said, and I quote; "It's just a couple of blokes riding about on bikes..." Ooookayyy... ;-0
I love that comment. Last week I heard someone talking about all period adaptations of Jane Austen: "It's just people visiting each other's houses.".
@@Bobrinsky Bwahahah!
Simplicity!
very ,very good !!!!
As far as America goes 50 years later, we really blew it...
best movie ever
Shaped my life
Me too!
Saw Peter Fonda today at the supermarket. He looked frail but he is about 75 years old so you would expect that.
+fturla
Seems totally legit.
Hi, I have read your comments. Such a shame this can't be watched. Is there any way at all of ever seeing this? We can bring beers over and order pizza ;)
The opening 15 seconds of this video...what part of the movie was this? I don't remember that scene.
The footage is from that part of the film where they've visited the commune, and Peter Fonda is looking at the grain, around the point where he says "They're gonna make it". But I put some sunburst visual effects on it and used a bit of the Stephen Stills song 'Find The Cost Of Freedom', from the acapella live version sung by Crosby and Nash with David Gilmour at the Royal Albert hall in 2006. That wasn't in the film, though Crosby Stills & Nash had originally been approached to write the whole score.
Man, would so love to see this doc.
Erin Kaplan is in this. How cool I know her.
Oh my god!
The Truth is being held at the will of a mad man!
Thumbs up if you figured that one out.
Peter Fonda said he’d like to see Trump’s young son thrown in jail with a bunch of baby rapers. What’s so cool about that?
My screen on computer for MANY ,MANY YEARS
where are those documentary man please
Access on you tube the new album called "Born To Be Wild In All Of The Fire and Brimstone." Then, listen to the lead song called "The BPM's". It's a great biker song from Easy Rider.
nice, Doc
Simon, Where can I find the series please?
Due to the cost of the 16 minutes of film excerpts we used across the four episodes, we were only ever allowed to broadcast it once, on ARTE in Europe, which is a terrible shame. There no DVDs, downloads or streaming options either I'm afraid.
@@Bobrinsky oh my what a shame. looks v interesting and I would have loved to view! Many thanks for replying!
@@ThePepperlou My pleasure. this was made half way through production, and it turned out really well. It is very frustrating that it never reached a wider audience.
Is there somewhere to purchase this? Looks good.
Sadly not, but thanks for the kind words. This was a 4 x 52 mins series which received great critical acclaim on first broadcast in continental Europe on ARTE, and went on the win the Gold World Medal "Cultural Issues", New York Festivals in 2012. However, due to the expense of clearing 16 minutes of footage from the film for those four episodes, we only ever had the rights to show it in central Europe for one year, so no further broadcasts, DVDs or streaming are ever likely to be on the cards - which is a real shame.
Thank you for the quick reply. Perhaps someday. I recently showed this movie to someone 34 years old that had never seen it. Still has impact.
@@Bobrinsky That is unfortunate. This post was 5 years ago and technology has advanced. Is the problem a legal issue? Perhaps the situation has evolved?
@@richardscott3724 Sadly not. We licensed 16 minutes of excerpts from the film to use across the 4 episodes and, in order to make that even vaguely affordable, we had to agree to very limited rights. Basically we were able to show it in Europe only for 1 year. It's not impossible that this will one day be re-cleared for wider viewing, but that's not looking very likely just now.
Great movie. Peter's made more money than most of us posting will ever see. His comments about the US are typical of someone from Hollywood that acts ,that cannot grasp the reality of living in such a great country. Michael Reynolds," Outside the law is the place where the information lays" Really? Smoke another one...
I hear ya, but the truth is that our nation is a shadow of what it once was.
Google "The BPM's Jeff Morris Official Video." It's a great biker song from Easy Rider. Enjoy it.
⭐⭐⭐❤❤❤✌✌✌

Peter is dead, what a drag
Paul McCartney quote after John Lennon's Murder!👍 😉
RIP FREEDOM
I lived it Great Days in 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It was an excelent movie
There are some great scenes and music, but have you seen the movie recently? It's dreadful. The stars said they were often stoned during the filming, and it shows. Does it ever.
Sorry that you can't appreciate it. It a beautiful film
I never got why they chose an aboveground graveyard in New Orleans for their long awaited dose they picked up in NM. How about the French Quarter on Fat Tuesday like everyone else?
Tripping in a cemetery was a thing hack then.
I'd always loved Peter Fonda since watching him in his landmark film ^Easy Rider^ that I'd seen about 50 times! But it was sad that besides cancer, he also died a libtard, not seeing how the democratic party had changed. I woke up to that fact in 2015 but ordered a coffee mug of Peter^s sister Jane with her 1970 mug shot on it! I always loved the Fonda family since their dad, Henry.
How the Democratic party changed? You mean from racist to progressive? While the GOP's descent into full blown Orwellian governance doesn't bother you. Cool.
@@burgeyburgful No. Democrats went from racist to race baiting. There is nothing "progressive" about an ideaology that is 100 years old and still failing when applied. And: It was the first half black president that "Orwellianized" the IRS, CIA, FBI. I know by now you see whats really going on.
@@nickc5978 A Republican invoking Orwell in the age of Trump? Oh, the irony!
Ce film est une oeuvre
Peut-etre!
easy rider marked the end of the hippie counter culture era.
Peter Fonda looked like Jack Nicholson.
Nicholson getting third billing 🤯
How ironic it is that now Antifa would attack the "Captain America" character Peter Fonda played because he was wearing an American flag! R.I.P. Peter Fonda.
How ironic you would grow up to have the politics you do.
Another cool road movie with peter fonda is dirty Mary crazy larry a great movie with a cool 1969 dodge it's about Fonda robs a knart and the cops are on his tail and guess what larry dies in the end of the movie
RIP where's my 🇺🇸 gone.it was simple times I will go and apply 4 a job now go online. I miss the good old days MAGA
MAGA is the antithesis of Easy Rider. 😂
