  • This extraordinary documentry traces the movements, events and sounds of the days of San Francisco hippie revolt, and traces the story of the definitive band of the psychedelic age, The Grateful Dead. Covering too the involvement of Frisco's other lead players such as Big Brother & The Holding Company, Jefferson Airplane, The Charlatans and Quicksilver Messenger Service, the program explores what it was that, temporarily, set San Francisco aside as a 1960s Shangri-La.

      Not really. Hoffman discovered acid over a decade before 1967. Government entities were dosing people all through the 50s. If acid was such a game changer, then it would have happened long before the mid 60s. And the change would have been broader across the whole population. Acid wasn't illegal for over a decade. One of the results of large use of it by the "counter-culture" was to have laws passed making it illegal by the "establishment." Acid wasn't the cause, it was an effect. Thinking the effects of a drug are universal regardless of environment and personality is specious. It could be either enlightening or terrifying, sometimes for the same person depending upon time, place and manner. Think Woodstock I vs Altamont. It was people and circumstance, not chemicals that made for disparate experiences.=; some great, some tragic.

      @@georgestevens1502 Albert Hoffman discovered LSD by accident on April 19th 1943, it didn’t do him much harm as he lived to 102 years old and died in April 2008! Incidentally the famous actor Cary Grant took LSD quite a few times in the 1950’s, he kept it quiet for awhile! Also the writer Aldous Huxley and many other people, also the military, well before the 1960’s! Even the term Psychedelic was used for some folk artists in the early sixties in New York, like John Fahey, Sandy Bull and the Holly Model Rounders! It’s amazing how in the U.K. Skiffle became popular in the late 50’s with Lonnie Donegon its main proponent, great minds think alike!

      @@roygoad2870 Ya, I've got a lengthy interview he did in the 70s, for Penthouse I think, squirrelled away in storage. My point wasn't about exactly when it was discovered by Albert, nor a judgment call on use, I simply resist attributing a cultural revolution solely to it. That implies that without it the changes in the Sixties wouldn't have happened, which I don't believe is true. I was at the Grateful Dead concert in Veneta, OR, and was treated to a blotter of Owsley product. But that was not the sole reason that was a great concert. It definitely enhanced the experience, but it wasn't the sine qua non of the day. The Dead and the New Riders music was the raison d'etre of that day.
