Too much brown acid....man !

Rats, rats lay down flat

Too many bad vibes and a reaction from the establishment that shut it down.

The establishment, the gov't did, and still does all it can, to destroy peace and love.

Sorry but you have taken isolated incidents and pretended they are a whole. It was simpler than that. The Marine act killed off radio stations and all that was left was Radio one and their minny mes playing fresh garbage. Payola from the major record companies ensured their disinfected artists got all the airplay. What next Fred West, the Falklands and Ian Curtis's death killed off punk.

YIKES what a load of self-indulgent, utterly meaningless BULLSHIT!!! Complete nonsense.

It is still here, but it is slightly underground, because of videos like this, which say it is gone.

Thanks. Not too burdensome. Artists through the centuries have always reacted against the easy comforting life choices of the masses. It's impossible to gain a way to creative expression if you want to wallow on the couch desire version of life. Have to leap into the ditch and become a Jimi Hendrix or Mussorgsky fanatic who refuses the driving wheel suck ass version of secular comforting.

The year clicked by one, and Hawkwind came along, and absolute heaven.

Music from Big Pink

There was "NO SUMMER OF LOVE" in 1967. What about all of those riots? Detroit? Newark, NJ, Cincinnati? Many others.

Since the Cold War politics helped introduce the LSD to the world at the time. Through the CIA'S clandestine M K ULTRA program . I bet they knew consequences of too much LSD use.

Who are the Manchester mixed group playing at The Cavern on 4:05 and 8:25, please?

Well, l think we will find that the 60's ended in 1969 but Psych bands turned into progressive rock which is still popular today. All music changes, 60's Soul turned into boring plastic homogenised so-called R 'n' B which is sung by 'Singers' who sound like they are singing underwater or through some vocal machine. The 1960's were a peak for music where everything seemed possible. Nothing lasts forever.

So, what does psychedelia mean today? It means microdosing to fight depression. It means that detatching from reality through drugs is not only irresponsible but can be outright dangerous resulting in injury or death. It means that if you don’t learn from the lessons of the past, you get to repete them. 😮

I never took the hippies seriously. They were hanging out at our university, but they disappeared even faster than I predicted, probably since they realized they can't get anywhere with hardly a roof over their heads and only a few dollars in the bank account.

The Velvets sound went on to evolve into creating a whole new universe during the 70s and 80s, which still holds up today with young and experimental bands, carrying the torch. Such vision, who would have thought at the time!?

There were just too many a**holes, freeloaders and victims in the world to make it work for more than a fleeting second.

Bear's first gig was making/selling speed and he was good at it. It financed certain bands, concerts and records. Then he switched to acid which did creative wonders for the entire scene. Unfortunately others filled the speed void and that was a bad trip all the way around. It's in his biography. It may not be everything but it isn't insignificant.

The government 😂

And it wasn't politicians who spoiled the Summer of Love movement, it was the infiltration of dishonest assholes praying on people who blindly trusted everyone. So the rip offs artists, and heroin dealers moved in and used that young trust to steal the meaning and the goodness AND the trust of the hippys, flower children and free lovers and all around beautiful people's movement called Summer of Love.

Why do you mention the 27 club without talking about Pigpen, the first lead singer for the Grathful Dead who, died at 27 years old. ????

60s Psychedelic sound was meant as a short-lived experiment - an often LSD-fueled fragmented mirror which was held up to a post-WWII generation. The 1960s was just the right time for combining different styles of sound. Younger folks who were brought up listening to their parents' music wanted something so entirely different. They got it -- in spades! The music took on a life of its own -- even influencing sound today. "Dance the Night Away" (Cream) was (and remains) my favourite Psychedelic tune. My friends who lived in the North Beach district of SF moved to Colorado shortly after The Monterey Pop Festival. They read the writing on the wall. Many thanks, Freewheeling.

LSD, I have heard no mention of it, that is the catalyst

Psychedelic music continues to this day, allbeit not to the same degree. The legacy of the counterculture was & is massive, Eastern philosophies, alternative medicine, self-development, humanistic & transpersonal psychologies, a resurgence in occultism & esotericism. It's impossible to think how we might be now if it hadn't occurred.

It started as a scene, then got picked up by the mainstream media, then it wasn't cool anymore. Like every other scene in Rock history.

Look up the concept of "Libido dominandi" (freedom as a form of political control), or read Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" for a more populist take on the idea.

The straight truth that ended the PSYCHEDELIC 60's is REALITY set in! The hidden truth is that the whole HIPPIE/DRUG Culture was an INTEL Project all along... the CIA,MI5/6,NSA and all the other agencies create numerous projects to mess with our minds, always keeping us DIVIDED, DISTRACTED and DUMBED DOWN! They own the MEDIA which pushes their agenda's, and now that Drugs and Dumbness have got the masses believing anything but the TRUTH... and all that great MUSIC was the main Trojan Horse!

There's certainly a lot to cover for one year but leaving out THE LOVIN SPOONFUL is ridiculous as they had hit after hit in 65 thru 67--looks like this channel has a serious bias

BUNK. Clearly written by people who were not there.. and simply read this sh*t in their 7th Grade history book. What killed the Psychedelic 60's? Not Manson.. not Altamont... but THE MEDIA, who zeroed-in on the hippie tribes in California, sensationalized it all into something MARKETABLE. Much like the drivel of this video, with its smug narrative tone.

The 70's.

Our politically correct narrator has tremendous difficulty enunciating words like drugs, weed, dope, and LSD. The 60's were anti-political correctness while the 20's embrace censorship with a passion. Art cannot be created in such repressive conditions which denies the populace of admiring its beauty, revelations and creativity while the counter-culture of the 60's freed itself from societal constraints and created great art on a daily basis. Art so fantastic it is alive and well even in the dismal year of 2024.

Very impressive compilation of the psychedelic music of the times. Sad that many of the artists were lost due to excess of the same dreams they sang about.

What is the song at 4:10 pls, and anyone know if it is sampled in 'Setting Sun' by the Chemical Brothers?

We inspired our music -our band play argentinian psychedelic folk- in the spirit of all these bands... ruclips.net/video/qUnDXO7ELBU/видео.htmlsi=nd8rkXYEJMQFFqM3

Bullshit

Here in the US we are wondering when this darkness will give- but the generation that realized rejecting the moral constraints and questioning a society that would force its youth to kill and die in SE Asia on top of all their other Victorian,colonial and religious oppression-birthed the environmental movement,gay rights,civil rights and more -these foundations are facing a new area of oppression,I encourage anyone especially younger people-organize and rise up using any means necessary to reverse this darkness

The assassinations of MLK & RFK & consequent election of Nixon helped slow the movement & the calamity at Altamont ended it. The Dream had become a Nightmare.

Love and greetings from Germany. Great times...

So there's this feastival and the people there gathered to hear some speeches, listen to some impromptu musicians and to become so inspired by one orator imparticular, that they sponteneously shared what they had with each other that such a beautiful day might be enjoyed by all. Afterwards, the ordinary aspects of life returned, perhaps sadder but wiser. Still, there are those who looked back, noticing the remnants of discarded bread as the flies landing on fishbones of a once lovely lunch, recallng as if to commit to memory what was said on that hill. ...and similarly, there were high points 2000 years later that connoted the life's blood of a Renaissance that would crest within five years.

He was born and raised in working class Belfast….Them was his first group…

Never could figure out Long Cool Woman, but the other songs were great

The foreshadowing in that interviewers questions was very eerie…”there was no shock treatment…”, which turns out to be untrue for Syd and his illness, rest in peace Syd and shine on you crazy diamond!

Not so much an "interview" as it is a collection of snippets.

Was there a better year for rock and roll? In 1969 Led Zepellin also released their first two albums. Woodstock happened. Janis and Jimi and Jim were still alive. The Who released Tommy.

"No shock treatment... intended."
