I love this! Thank u so much for sharing. I am Chocolate George’s Daughter Dawn. It is so Awesome when I’m just browsing and come across another great post from my Daddy’s funeral 👍🏼❤️💯
I grew up in the Bay Area but was 1 year old at the time of this vid.....my whole life Ive known I was 20 years too late. This is amazing and what I tried to capture and recreate duting my teens and 20s. The only saving grace for me was the Grateful Dead which allowed me a time machine into this era, just a glimpse that I will be forever grateful fore. Thank you for sharing.
I love to put on some good ol' Viola Lee on, and groove away all over my house. I do it all the time. That's an all time favorite. My mama was a Spinner, so.... 💃the music never stops here. 🙌
this is the best era of the dead in my opinion.....I love his guitar sound...this recalls, for me, the first time I smoked it....I didn't think I was stoned but I went home and immediately put on the Doors first album (it had just come out) and listened to it on headphones and still, it took me a week to recall the experience and how incredible it was and obviously I have never forgotten it! The Dead were next on my listening list when I got ripped again.....
God bless you brother,the first time i smoked i thought i was a rabbit walking through town they the humans looked at me,and i the kid the rabbit just smiled.It must of been lased ,coz i was buzzing.
72 ain’t nothing to scoff at! Many consider 72 to be the bees knees! My first shoulda been 78, but due to circumstances beyond my control, was 1980. I consider myself lucky to have gotten 15 years of Jerry Dead during prime years for me (age 22~37).
Present and accounted for at 14. Hippies spared this geeky outsider of a kid from a dull unhappy lock-step world and the Dead provided the best sound track for the trip. Made me the fine upstanding LSD peace and love marinated old fucker I am today💪💪♥️♥️ Thanks for the post!
.I lived in the Haight during this time and was at the free concerts in the panhandle and "hippy hill" in GG Park. After 2020 it is wonderful to see this. The innocence and freedom of that era would never have thought the politics of now could happen. Thank you for posting happiness!!!
I've noticed most heads don't even listen to this era & Sirius, Dead streamers etc tend to also avoid it which to me is just a shame. Honestly, the raw energy of this period I think is more appropriate to shaking it up in this time we're living in now than say, a '94 show would be.. or even a '77.
Everybody in this video who is moving and grooving is a dead head. That's all it came down to was someone who was moved by the music and would give back their energy to the whole collective thing. That's what propelled it and made it the spectacular.

You know what is really strange i think i am the only one in the world who knows this- John Lennon while making the Imagine album has a dirty long haired hippy come to his house and John And Yoko Moko go outside to talk to him it is on film and you tube the guy is a beatle worshiper and he is a little fucked up to make a long story short- He is the same guy who only months earlier was on a tv show that had John Lennon as a guest and at the end of the show some of the people watching got to ask John a question and he is one of the people to do so and he ask's John about all the revolution songs and so on BUT wouldn't you know it He was also there when the Beatles did Hey Jude on tv his hair much shorter he is right next to Ringo when the people come into the room with the Beatles at the end of the song and and he just stares at John Lennon with a very Strange deep look ? Scary
@@meyou-dv8ns That is weird. Kinda reminds me of David Chapman.... But the dude in the video I'm referring to isn't in a lot of "different" places...it's just that this clip of him dancing became a super famous clip.... Like, "Smithsonian Institution" famous..lol.... It's in public domain and used in countless documentaries, ads and news stories. Too bad the guy never got royalties...lol I wonder where he is now
The other big Dead moment used as stock footage in every 60s rock music commercial is "hippies running in circles under maypole"...Golden Gate Park, '67.....:)
Jerry with the guitar up high. It's so much easier to play that way, of course by most standards it doesn't look as "cool" it's not very "rock star" it looks nerdy, or something. I have been gradually inching mine up, then I will probably inch it back down to the point where it looks more "cool". This, by the way is, definitely without any doubt, the best video I have ever seen on UA-cam. Motorcycle gangs, hippies dancing, trippy visuals, the Dead shredding their asses off. It doesn't get any better than that.
Saw my first show at the Greek, 1981...saw about a hundred shows. This really puts the band in perspective, (in color), for what it would have been like to have seen them then...down at the panhandle....free, with Hells Angels. I can totally imagine and put myself there. Thanks.
I was there in July, '67, and saw a few local bands play free in the Panhandle at GGP. The Dead was one of them, Mother Earth and Salvation Army Banned were some others. My whole family was in SF at the time, my brother was in St. Mary's hospital right off Haight St with a rare blood disease, so I killed some time in the Park........
Me, too! I wish I was born much earlier to be there, see and experience this awesome music and the great people grooving. San Francisco was more a working class, easy going city back then.
@@monty70 nah, it was an organic free flowing thing back then. It just came together and happened. Y'all trying to re create it, force it. It will never happen again.
It is nothing short of amazing how much everything has changed since The Summer of Love. The promise and hope of a better brighter future and a world that would evolve into an elevated state of consciousness seems like a ridiculous dream now. That promise of what could have been is way back in the rear view mirror now, and those dreams like those days will never return. They are just a memory now that keeps fading with each passing year. So enjoy the tidbits of film and music while you can before they too are reclaimed by the dust we all will fall victim to.
If you mean we all die than yes. You're negative attitude to the energy created via the realities of oligarchic politics, violence and individual stupidity, are true in all times and not relevant. The Legend will grow as the epic genius of the era becomes clearer with time, as it does and the idea that we can evolve is being transformed in the determination that humanity MUST to survive (Sanders movement). As to the end, that will be but to not struggle is to die before death. Live now!
Joe Castevens I’m a “young” Head at 61! 😊. I was only 8 years old in August ‘67. Didn’t start going to shows until the mid-70s. Would love to have a time machine to go back once in a while! ☮️
@@salvarriale161 Yes, the children younger than 16 in this 1967 video would still be younger than 70 today. But if you were 16 in 1967 you would be 70 in 2021. If you were 26 in 1967, you’d be 80 in 2021! Time flies! 😳
No, the Dead didn't play the "Death of the Hippie" event, and that was on Haight Street and in the Panhandle, not in GGPark. This was the real funeral for Chocolate George, just as the posting says.
Yes... wait what was the question. This is video from the funeral, but the audio is from the hollywood bowl show, says.it in the posting too...just sayin BTW Sick Viola lee huh!
Supposedly the Dead (and/or other bands) played a version of the old New Orleans anthem, "Oh, Didn't He Ramble" at Chocolate George's funeral. That's what Emmett Grogan said, anyway . . .
+chad lomax For many years I had the LP version of viola lee blues to enjoy but then I discovered Bleeker Bobs in NYC who sold bootleg LP of alot of these old shows and that seemed great but now UA-cam just blows my mind , well its already been blown by them but it still gets blown on occaision
Heads before heads! So refreshing to hear and see this. Such an innovative time to do whatever felt good. Even without the drugs people looked a lot happier than they do now-a-days. Guess the drugs took it all to another level.
I was here for Chocolate George's funeral...ultra innocent at 14. BTW, this vid is heavily spliced. The concert was during the day and not in a huge open field. I mostly enjoyed Big Brother and the Holding Company and witnessed two Hells Angels making out with each other.
David Cassidy wish I could have had some of mr.Owsleys finest!!!lol peace n blessings to you I’ve lived on the haight recently wish it was still like this!
You oughta watch the '70 PBS special-vid, where the Dead our kinda godly in retrospect... a decadent hippie-group playin' folk-country jams: boozy, high -probably baffles PC-people.
Dont know why folks bagged on Pig's organ playing later on, in these early tapes pig putting down some funky grease along with Jerry's Les Paul screeching like a banshee at the midnight hours.
This is actually footage from many different events. The viola lee seems to be from the panhandle, other shots of people dancing are from hippie hill in GG park, and the funeral footage is obviously elsewhere. it's great stuff, would be VERY curious to know where the original material is.
I was in college in 1967...became what you call a "deadhead" before you were born. Danced on their stage for several shows and shared beds, drugs and rock 'n roll with the band. so call it what you will, but I was a deadhead and nothing but a head!!!
Someone please help at the 4:56 mark is that Charles manson. Sure looks like him. And I've heard it said that he went to some dead shows when he got out of prison in 67
Hard to believe the San Francisco City government let them use the park for these events. No police, port-o-pottys or concession booths in sight...lol You would never see this in New York, for example, without an army of police and barricades.
People were enjoying themselves without any problems. Music flowed freely and people were happy and reflective. Today we have mostly sheeple that follow but don't question and they don't think for themselves.
@@NiceChest1 Today,...people only think about themselves. There seemed to be sense of community back then that is sorley lacking today. Also... You wouldn't see this today without some form of corporate sponsorship. It would be something like "Free Concert brought to you by AT&T"...lol😎
Darrylizer1 Yes, they left in droves for the countryside by the late 60's, as the scene got real bad with hard drugs, venereal disease and rip-offs. Many went to Oregon, like Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, Others went in a huge caravan of school buses with Stephen Gaskin to the Farm in Summertown, TN, and that wa the largest commune in the U.S. outside of the STP family in Boulder. I knew them, and was invited to live there by Stephen and Ina Mae, but never did. The Dead wrote a couple songs about Stephen, who was a professor at Berkeley and ran meditation classes, and the Farm in Tennessee.

You are lucky. I didn't see them but I did get Jerry Garcia's autograph at SFO in 1986 on a Canadian $2 dollar bill.

People in general had no idea what was happening in the world except from what CBS or ABC told them. All networks were CIA controlled.

Can't go wrong either way
A lot of great versions out there. Check out Dick's Picks Volume 8 for another great one from 1970.
Love this, I really enjoy this time period the best, love jerrys sounds when he used the Gibson les Paul's in this era.
Mom found me by following the music; I was at the Janis show. It was free and I was 9!
you're a legend Cindy
The film maker was a brilliant cinematographer, I hope they went on to do great things.
Would have loved to be there. Maybe next time around.
I like how Jer holds his guitar and gets down!

Damn, Pigpen is tearing it up on organ!
I love the texture of the organ with this song.
Hell yes. I always loved the Pig's organ playing, a key part of the early Dead sound. Pure West Coast psychedelia (even if Pig preferred the bottle).
The organ is amazing! It really adds to the feel of the 1960's in San Francisco and the 1960's in general. Very deep and soulful. I love it.

Rachel Orlando Today the place where you can find the most hippies is sf california
Pagan Min Actually the hippies are long gone to Marin and Colorado and elsewhere. It's the place where you find the most techies now.
Darrylizer1 Yes, they left in droves for the countryside by the late 60's, as the scene got real bad with hard drugs, venereal disease and rip-offs. Many went to Oregon, like Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters, Others went in a huge caravan of school buses with Stephen Gaskin to the Farm in Summertown, TN, and that wa the largest commune in the U.S. outside of the STP family in Boulder. I knew them, and was invited to live there by Stephen and Ina Mae, but never did. The Dead wrote a couple songs about Stephen, who was a professor at Berkeley and ran meditation classes, and the Farm in Tennessee.
