The 60's were culturally such a revolutionary decade you can see images of the beginning of the decade and compare it to the late 60's and you tell the difference. Everything changed, the fashion, the style, the music, the behavior. Those were very exciting and truely revolutionary years.
My friends mom had a great record collection! She'd play The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Jones, Spike Jones, Jefferson Airplane and of course The Beatles.
There'll never be another decade like the sixties, truly had the best music ever. Everything from the British Invasion and Motown to psychedelia and prog rock. ✌💜
Just ran across this... THANK YOU for giving props to Duane Allman and his solo on Wilson Pickett's Hey Jude... Duane is one of the greats, and not too many people know about this part of his story. Thanks for shedding light on his brilliance!
The post Elanor Rigby / psychedelic movement sent music down the good timeline. Couldn't imagine if we stuck with the bubblegum pop rock of the early 60s that all sounded the saaaaame.
Can we just appreciate how the three of them are getting closer and closer as time goes on? Like, they are each learning to tolerate one another. It’s just another example of how music brings us together
Exceptional production--JT Curtis' History of 90s Rock--cleverly designed, expertly edited, w amazing clips. A flat out shame it has relatively few views. This should be network television.
Worth watching thanks for making this documentary. I was a teenager in the 1960s and a huge music lover and loved all the great pop, folk, soul and rock of the 1960s. I started collecting music then and still have a huge music collection.
I saw Jimi Hendrix on my 14th birthday 6-22-69 @ The Newport Pop Festival, Granada Hills, California!. He was unshedualed! Made me a life time musician!
I loved every minute of this video. To synthesize so much greatness into 2-30 minute videos is amazing. I enjoyed the historical information, the hilarious commentary as well as the musical selections. Thank you for sharing your passion for music with us.
Janis was a very powerful, beautiful, soulful singer. I can feel a lot of emotion went on her last album and I related to her with how lonely she felt and depressed. She's still remembered after 52 years of her death.
Just wanted to say thanks for making this JT. Im working on a senior thesis paper on music and the Vietnam War and your 60s series has been a useful citation. Looking forward to the next installment and more of your awesome tunes.
Great documentary! I know many artists and bits and pieces about rock history (being a 90s kid) but I haven't watched a coherent timeline of them before. You also make it very entertaining to watch with your creative skits and you're all very well spoken. Its really amazing how much music changed in 10 years. I dont quite agree however with your sentiment at the end, I think speaking about sociopolitical topics and honest emotions is still rampant today, particularly in genres like hip hop. I think music always remains the same in a sense, you always have your radio-friendly pop hits but you also have your musicians who do music just for the sake of art and expression you just need to really look for them. Its just our culture and music industry has changed a lot since then.
The highlights of the decade were the Beatles : Sgt. Pepper`s Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Rolling Stones : Sticky Fingers, The Who Rockoper Tommy , the Doors, Led Zeppelin, the Beach Boys : Pet Sounds, the Byrds, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa and many many more that will never be forgotten like Jimi Hendrix... J.J.
This was totally enjoyable. You covered it all. Especially Jimi, Jeff Beck, Cream(still listen to all at least every week) and Blue Cheer. Only band I haven't heard you mention from 60's was Spirit. There was so much music from this time. Much appreciate your mentioning Motown et al., Soul and Black artists as well were very important.
Well done. I grew up with the era. The soundtrack of my life. I remember watching The Beatles when they appeared live on Ed Sulivan, buying the first Yardbird singles. I got a job at the largest record store in western Canada, in Winnipeg, Manitoba,, called Opus 69/ Campus Records. I had 800 record albums by 1974, became a lead singer , with the brother orf Randy Bachman as guitarist, becamse a guitarist myself, started a blues band, and the last gigs I were doing was with the JImmay Mayes Mill Street Depot,. Jimmy had played with Hendrix, Aretha Franklin, WIlson Pickett, etc...I thought I had hit the big time but I didnt want to smell like a cigarette every night, even though I had stopped somking, and being surrounded by drunk people all the time. I thank Jimmy for giving some books about Krishna at the Detroit Airport and to George Harrison, for introducing me to Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. For me, being introduced to Krishna was the greatest contribution that any musician could make to understanding self realization and the goal of lifo, love of Krishna. You churned a lot of great memories with this video JT. I had albums of almost everyone you addressed in your History of Rock and Roll videos. I found the humour distracting in the video. It must have taken you a lot of time to put all this together. Thank you. very much. I agree with you that it was really stupid of the Stones to hire the Hells Angels as "security". The greatest song of the erain my opinion, was My Sweet Lord, because it contained the Hare Krishna mantra which when chanted is very transformative, purifying to the consciousness., freeing one from any unhalthy addiction they might have.. Hare Krishna!
The Beatles and Hendrix r the greatest thing to ever happen to music... I love all 60s music but the Beatles and Hendrix r why i started playing instruments and writing music.
This is one of the best "rockumentary" I have ever seen heard! I have seen 95% of the artists shown here. Our age group had a wonderful experience with music, and a kick ass time exploring, learning, enjoying it all while growing up. ❤✌😀=the 60's
I absolutely LOVED this series, thank you so very much for making it, it’s been super insightful and the humour was super funny and engaging. I have no idea why some people had problems with it, it’s brilliant! I have sent this comment on the 60s Part 2 episode as it was my favourite, super funny, interesting and engaging, well done! So out of curiosity, Which one was your favourite to make? And what one are you the most proud of? I feel like I have to sign this comment off with “peace and love” as it’s the 60s video, so there you go 😂
This episode may very well be my favorite because my father (Playing The Hippie Bum) got to get his Woodstock story on video before he passed and getting the privilege to act on camera with him is a moment I'll treasure forever.
What i like the most about these videos, is the fact that i can expand my spotify playlist constantly with songs that were included in these videos. White room and I feel free from cream, a bit of otis redding and wilson pickett and a few of the guitar god Jimi hendrix
Thank You, this is so inspiring! I first noticed the 50's episode a year and a half ago when I was exploring the world of rock'n'roll. And the video was one of the top at the list. I watched it and some of your performances too. So I wonder why you have so few subscribers... (Nonetheless devoted ones!) Anyway the one interested in rock (as me) should appreciate your talent. Or is it because that only few people are interested in particularly establishing patterns rather than just listening to music? I'm sorry for such a long comment, that was the first of mine on youtube and I liked to talk to this bar :)
I have now watched this video for the fourth time. It really is great stuff, informative and very enterteining. I am very much looking forward to see your next episode. The 70s were in my opinion the peak of rock music. The 50s and 60s may have given birth to R'n'R but the 70s brought it to new levels. The number of influential bands and the diversity of sub genres is just so extremely large. Prog rock, hard rock, glam rock, jazz rock, punk rock, new wave are so much related to this decade.
Excellent job, I'm loving everything about this episode. You guys played all the best music and information about the 60's, the best era for Rocking!!!!! JT is a musical virtuoso!!!! Bravo!!!!
I'm so happy that you mentioned The Moody Blues! Days of Future Passed is a fantastic album! I have to listen to it in it's entirely because it's that awesome of an album and it wouldn't make sense if I skip the songs! All the songs are awesome and it's definitely one of the albums that changed my life! Nights In White Satin and Tuesday Afternoon are awesome songs! It's my fourth favorite rock album of the 1960s, only behind The Beatles' Abbey Road, The Who's My Generation, and The Yardbirds' Raving Up With the Yardbirds. The fifth spot will go to CCR's Green River. And I'm sorry, but Days of Future Passed beats Jimi Hendrix Experience's Are You Experienced by a longshot! 1967 was a really awesome year in music and there were just too many awesome albums released that year.
I've been really enjoying this video series so far. You do a great job of encompassing many, many high points within a limited amount of time, and the humorous stuff you throw in keeps it easy to watch! I'm curious to see what you've got in store for the 1970s and beyond. One very minor correction, the so-called Sunset Strip Riots actually occurred outside of Pandora's Box, not the Whisky a Go-Go, which is located down on the other side of the strip. Only mentioning this because Pandora's Box was forced to close in the aftermath, while the Whisky is still operational today. Keep on rockin'.
Well, I saw a lot of these groups back in the '60s, yes, I'm a "boomer," and my favorites would have to be Hendrix, Cream and the Doors. I've got a playlist on YT Music, "Mainly Wild '60s Rock," with more than 1,000 songs from this era. I met a lot of performers like Janis and Jim Morrison. Back in those days it was very casual and if you wanted to see people in a band you went backstage. More often than not they were just smoking a joint out back and we'd join them. I saw the Doors many times at the Whiskey in Hollywood. There was more music released from 1966-70 than in any other similar time period in history.
I wish you had covered Syd Barrett's actual guitar playing. I take it you'll cover the hell out of "Dark Side of the Moon" in the 70's documentary, but to me and all my friends, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" (in its superior mono mix) is both the quintessential Pink Floyd and psychedelic rock album. Pink Floyd were literally the most futuristic band of the 60's, and Syd Barrett's innovative guitar playing spawned the birth of multiple genres, influencing guitarists for many decades after. I would cite his fluid use of improvisation and jazz/punk-like microtonal leads and riffs as essentially laying the blueprint for the future of rock music. Most people don't see this, but he's the hidden secret weapon for any aspiring guitarist to discover. He's the reason I picked up guitar and want to start a band. Rock music and the guitar as an instrument seemed all said and done until I heard the Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd. And that live Stockholm show from 1967 that was released on the Early Years boxset (which is on the official Pink Floyd topic channel on RUclips) really helps showcase Syd's incredible riffmaking, So many musicians of the 60's and 70's, including Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Pete Townshend, David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Brian Eno, The Sex Pistols, The Damned, Throbbing Gristle, John Frusciante, and many others, they all deeply respected Syd Barrett's guitar playing. Also worth covering was the Texas band The 13th Floor Elevators, their lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Roky Erickson, and their lead guitarist Stacy Sutherland. They toured San Francisco, and brought the psychedelic rock sound there while most groups there were still playing folk. If you listen to their Avalon Ballroom gig recording, they were literally the heaviest band of 1966. And they literally would trip during all their performances, and penned lyrics about tripping and achieving a higher state of consciousness. Lyrically, they were the esoteric equivalent of Bob Dylan. Quite frankly, the most esoteric band in all of rock history. Their debut rock'n roll album "The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators" with its hit single "You're Gonna Miss Me", their magnum opus "Easter Everywhere" with its 8-minute opening track "Slip Inside This House", and the down-to-earth Stacy Sutherland-led "Bull of the Woods" are a massive trilogy of killer rock albums. Yet another secret weapon for the aspiring guitarist. Needless to say, the psychedelia did not go over well in their home state, and they missed their chance at fame due to drug arrests and a greedy independent record label. Also, Jefferson Airplane didn't reach their experimental psychedelic peak until "After Bathing At Baxter's", followed by "Crown of Creation". These albums have a much heavier sound which makes "Surrealistic Pillow" sound like soft rock. The Byrds pioneered psychedelic rock with their single "Eight Miles High" and its b-side "Why". Album-wise, their best would have to be "Younger Than Yesterday". Country Joe & The Fish, the same band Country Joe McDonald fronted, also revolutionized music with their album "Electric Music for the Mind and Body" with its direct references to psychedelic drug use and its trippy revolutionary sound. Also, who could forget Frank Zappa and his once best friend Captain Beefheart? Frank Zappa, the avant-garde absurdist guitar genius with his group The Mothers of Invention releasing the revolutionary "Freak Out!", "Absolutely Free", the psychedelic rock parody "We're Only In It For The Money", and the group's magnum opus before Zappa went solo "Uncle Meat". Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band pushed the envelope even further into bluesy Dadaist territory, like a Howlin' Wolf on acid, with "Safe As Milk", "Strictly Personal", and the insanely notoriously demented microtonal futuristic anti-masterpiece that is THE "Trout Mask Replica", which still inspires heated debates and challenges listeners to this very day. There is, of course, so much more that can be covered, especially in the realm of British psychedelic music. The Pretty Things' "S.F. Sorrow", for example, the true heir to the title of first rock opera. And the original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green and Danny Kirwan. As a guitarist, Peter Green impressed B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, and so many others. The Beatles' "Sun King" on their "Abbey Road" album was directly influenced by Fleetwood Mac's hit instrumental single "Albatross". And their 1969 album "Then Play On" is as good as any Led Zeppelin album. Although the last Fleetwood Mac single with that lineup, "The Green Manalishi", didn't come out until 1970, so I'm guessing that opens the doors for them to be covered in the 70's. Anyway, I find these all very essential to understanding psychedelic rock and 60's music as a whole as anything else that's been covered, and they are my top picks that I felt worth mentioning. Overall, I feel you did a great job, though, but I wish you had split the 60's into 3 parts and gotten into the deeper cuts and alternative history. But that's just me. And for God's sakes, cut Tiny Tim some slack. His "God Bless Tiny Tim" album is a great psychedelic pop album. Give the song "Strawberry Tea" a listen. It might change your mind about him. Anyway, I hope everyone had fun reading this comment, if you've reached this far. lol Peace and love.
@@judeolney2944 I must revise my essay a bit, though. “The Notorious Byrd Brothers” is the best Byrds album, but “Younger Than Yesterday” is still fantastic.
First of all, compliments to your great videos and to you. Astounding! For the 70's...ELP is a must. Funny how that band can be a great example of everything great about the 70's and everything that was wrong with it at the same time.
Grace Slick was in a competing band "The Great Society" and was already performing "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" when Signe Anderson quit Jefferson. Grace brought "Somebody" written by her brother in law in the Great Society and her song to JA
Love your vids, your humour is magical, especially during the orchestral end to 'A Day In A Life,' and of course, Hendrix setting fire to his guitar. Keep it up guys, you rock!
When I wrote the comment yesterday, I had no idea the video was from 4 years ago! Then, I finished up through the 1990s in one day. Great video series!
There really was so much more to the 60's than what you had time to cover. I'm a 60's music fanatic, and I wish you had time to cover the great bands from The Netherlands, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, and yes, South America.
Great job JT. Due in part (maybe) to: 1. you are a pretty darn good musician (takes one to know one) and 2. You have good taste. I liked that you put it all in context of the times without over doing it. I'm a 67 year old geezer (how did that happen?) so was right age for all that fun when happened, and could find no fault or stumble in what you chose and why. Oh, love that Gretsch Tennessee Rose (right?). My fave? Jimi. Saw 3 times, and one time was GOD (good batting average). First time heard Purple Haze thought "Well this changes everything..."
BTW the main electrification influence on Bob Dylan was Mike Bloomfield whom he asked to play WITH (not the other way as popularized in Rock mythology). After playing with Bob Dylan, he moved to San Francisco where he had a major influence on the psychedelic sound.
Lots of good stuff man. Can’t believe you went over Woodstock without a single mention of Canned Heat! I was holding out hope you’d bring them up, they’re my favorite 😂
So good, that I found your canal. I say you "big thank you" for funny and full lesson about rock, you are big master and filled my attention , success to you, and greetings from Siberia, I will follow you!))
grace didn’t write it, i forgot which one but either her husband or brother in law wrote it, the other wrote somebody to love. Jerry slick was her husband, Darby was her brother in law
Watching the Beach Boys documentary on Disney Plus definitely me a huge fan of them. Pet Sounds is their best album easily. You could hear that they were growing up. And technically I wouldn't say that there was a rivalry between The Beatles and The Beach Boys. They both needed each other to make music advance more into different territories. Both experimented with different sounds and see where rock would go. Smiley Smile, Wild Honey, Friends and 20/20 are also great albums. Hard discography to rank honestly. Definitely one of the best bands of all time. Today was the album that is as innovative as Rubber Soul. Today has the best of both worlds. Has the feel with the early surf albums and what would become the sound of Pet Sounds with The Wrecking Crew.
Did you mention The Animals house of the rising sun English rock band, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in the early 1960s with Eric Burdon amazing voice and Alan Price amazing keyboard playing
It was originally in the first episode but due to a copyright claim I was forced to cut it out of the video - which is so stupid because now The Animals are not represented in this series.
I took a rock n roll history course in college and I think we spent about half the semester talking about the 60s. I think you did great summarizing but as you said, there was too much going on to fit into a video. As far as what you should talk about for the 70s, my class completely skipped over punk rock and I found that very frustrating. Personally I think punk was just a big "fuck you" to all the prog rock stuff that was happening in the 60s. Almost like a counter culture to the counter culture.
Yes, that late 70s period where Punk Rock starts to turn to New Wave is an amazing period for rock music: The Cars, The Police, The Clash, great stuff indeed. I think most rock and roll classes focus on the 60s and the early 70s. The 90s will be interesting for us since there is no "Rock class" for that period. Fortunately we both lived through that period, so we know all about it.
I, too, took a rock and roll history class, but it was in 1970 at U of O. I respected punk as a vomit back to big hair tight satin pants crap goin down mid 70's. New wave esp Talking Heads... yeah
Hey - I only just found your videos and am definitely enjoying them. I was tuned in around 1969 and was fortunate enough to see many of the bands you discuss. A few random thoughts: 1. It was kind of funny that I agreed with many of the slightly negative comments about GNR or Michael Jackson, for example; 2. You didn't give The Dead much love - flash and hits may not have been their hallmarks, but they played more shows than anyone$, and never played the same show twice. I could go on but suffice to say that life as a deadhead wasn't bad; 3. Lou Reed's Rock and Roll Animal with Intro, Sweet Jane, and Heroin is one of the more underrated albums, especially given its age; 4. While he remained relatively unknown until his death in the late '80's, Roy Buchanan was one of the best, and I argue, one of the most influential guitarists period. He started in the late 50's and played with some pretty big names at the time, and also played regularly at the Crossroads in MD. By the late mid-sixties a lot of stars had seen or heard him and even played with him - Beck, Hendrix, Jagger, Lennon are mentioned in stories. In 1971, Bill Graham hosted a TV program about him as the greatest unknown guitarist. Further on up the Road has interviews with Robbie Robertson, etc. telling these stories. Remember when you listen to Roy, that he only used a Telecaster and a Fender Amp - nothing else (up until the 80's at least). Check out The Messiah Will Come Again, Roys Bluz, I'm Evil, and his great Hey Joe. Or just acquire a copy of "Second Album" which is my personal choice for the one album I could have if I was stranded on a island (not sure how I'd be playing that album being stranded and all...)
Thank you. In response to The Dead, that was pretty much my dad's opinion being shared. He saw them at Woodstock, wasn't impressed (yes I know they've said it wasn't one of their better shows) but they never really did it for me either. Now Roy Buchanan I do agree is a fantastic guitarist. In fact my band used to cover "Messiah Will Come Again" one one or two occasions. Sadly, with everyone else to talk about, he got lost in the fold.
Excellent video! The humor you used kept older viewers watching and learning. Though older viewers probably know nothing about Bono and his boys, when your older friend says "Are you two gonna keep interrupting me?" Why not say "I don't hear any Irish men playing music, that's being saved for a different video!" Gotta know my favorite artist(s)? As far as I'm concerned, nobody beats Simon and Garfukel, not even the super hard rock yet to come which I listen to day in and day out. Let's see what you have to say about the '70's.
AMEN. AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN to your final point about how the world NEEDS a musical revolution like the 60's where we break away from what divides us and embrace what brings us together as people. Now.... it'll never happen because we have Corporate and Cultural overloads but still...... it's a nice thought lol
Trogs, Wild things, first heavy metal riff. 1966 was the most amazing year for memorable numbers and artists on the Billboard charts. Incredible String Band did a Saturday morning Woodstock gig., and then flew to Flushing Meadows park in Queens NY. via helicopter for a Folk pop festival performance that evening at the Worlds Fair grounds.
David Geffen should of been mentioned for his work with Laura Nyro, and for providing the germination for Crosby Stills and Nash to develop into the powerhouse band that they were.
@@stevemarco8631 Laura was a brilliant writer but I dunno if I’d really classify her as rock and roll. Also I think Ahmet Ertegun had more to do with Crosby Stills and Nash getting out there, also suggesting Neil Young join the band.
For me my favorites are the later stuff of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones (that I hope would get on Christmas) Procol Harum, King Crimson, the Moody Blues and of course Pink Floyd's 60s albums. And not to mention the other greats of sixties like Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and The Doors. Plus a lot of lesser known acts that didn't get a lot of attention but which are also cool too!
Hey JT awesome video about 60s Rock what I think you should definitely include in the 70s video is Elton John, Billy Joel and Queen and a little more of The Grateful Dead and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Top 20 Bands of the 60s 1. The Beatles 2. The Who 3. CCR 4. The Kinks 5. The Yardbirds 6. Jimi Hendrix Experience 7. Led Zeppelin 8. The Moody Blues 9. The Rolling Stones 10. The Dave Clark Five 11. The Animals 12. The Byrds 13. 13th Floor Elevators 14. Cream 15. The Monkees 16. The Beach Boys 17. The Hollies 18. The Lovin' Spoonful 19. The Young Rascals 20. The Pretty Things
I love Abbey Road as a closer for The Beatles and the decade, but I honestly feel Let it Bleed is better for an ending with "Gimme Shelter" or "You Can't Always Get What You Want" being a reminder to the counter culture of the reality they lived in, loved the video, JT !! ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡ P.S. I feel the Rolling Stones Rock & Roll circus could've been featured as well, they even had The Dirty Mac, the early Jethro Tull with Tommy Iommi and the best live performance of "Sympathy for the Devil".
In the great rock vs folk split -- I went with folk and only heard most of the rock by accident on the radio and in the corridors of my college dorm. My favorite group was Ian and Sylvia. Please don't hurt me...
Very good guys entertaining I see you touched base on most of the 60's music however you didn't hit on the bubble gum rock of that era otherwise great stuff my friends
Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco" is another 1966 release though it was debuting in the first week or so of 1967. That's likely the same for the Buffalo Springfield track, late 1966 issue, early 1967 chart debut.
The 60's were culturally such a revolutionary decade you can see images of the beginning of the decade and compare it to the late 60's and you tell the difference. Everything changed, the fashion, the style, the music, the behavior. Those were very exciting and truely revolutionary years.
29:57 “RONALD REAGAN? THE ACTOR?” im so glad i caught that reference
The rapid music development from 1964 to 1965 is dramatic. The psychedelic movement changed everything. All in one or two years.
@Just think And Timothy Leary was their paid guru.
And in 1966.... The Beatles released Revolver
Tomorrow Never Knows. That's when the freak flag was unfurled.
.......And the one song that I will never forget from 1964 was House of the rising sun by the Animals!!!!!.one of the greatest songs ever!!!!.
My friends mom had a great record collection! She'd play The Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Tom Jones, Spike Jones, Jefferson Airplane and of course The Beatles.
You guys are absolutely hysterical and you are also a very talented musician.
🙏🕊️❤️
God, i LOVE the doors! They're such a unique mix of sounds and themes, and Jim Morrison is just something else, man.
There'll never be another decade like the sixties, truly had the best music ever. Everything from the British Invasion and Motown to psychedelia and prog rock. ✌💜
Just ran across this... THANK YOU for giving props to Duane Allman and his solo on Wilson Pickett's Hey Jude... Duane is one of the greats, and not too many people know about this part of his story. Thanks for shedding light on his brilliance!
He is legitimately one of my favorite guitarists ever and I owe him big for inspiring my own music.
The post Elanor Rigby / psychedelic movement sent music down the good timeline. Couldn't imagine if we stuck with the bubblegum pop rock of the early 60s that all sounded the saaaaame.
Well black music continued to develop in either “timeline”
I was playing in a integrated rock / soul band in Mississippi in the late 60s. This is when I came of age.
A good time to come of age!
Can we just appreciate how the three of them are getting closer and closer as time goes on? Like, they are each learning to tolerate one another. It’s just another example of how music brings us together
Brilliant, guys! You make it so much fun while staying true to the spirit of genius of the golden age of rock 'n roll...

I've got an oral exam tomorrow and I decided to do it on the history of rock. If it wasn't for these videos I would be screwed. Thank you very much.
Congratulations, this series is well done and extremely entertaining for one who lived through the 60’s.

Your videos are great and really educational!! Thanks man
Kudos to JT Curtis for the very best RUclips videos on this particular subject!
Just wanted to say thanks for making this JT. Im working on a senior thesis paper on music and the Vietnam War and your 60s series has been a useful citation. Looking forward to the next installment and more of your awesome tunes.
My pleasure!
Them: Man.. You'll NEVER do the, "Ed Sullivan" show!!!

1. Get back from work
2. Get ready
3. Roll big fat joint
4. Sit comfortably
5. Light it up
6. Watch "the 60's part 2" again
That is what I did when I came to see this
This series is going down as some of the greatest educational content to ever hit youtube straight classics.
Great documentary! I know many artists and bits and pieces about rock history (being a 90s kid) but I haven't watched a coherent timeline of them before. You also make it very entertaining to watch with your creative skits and you're all very well spoken. Its really amazing how much music changed in 10 years.

Zappa and many many more that will never be forgotten like Jimi Hendrix... J.J.
Sticky Fingers was 1971, great album nonetheless.
JT Curtis is very funny and so cute! These Rock and Roll documentaries are really good! So many bands so little time.
This was totally enjoyable. You covered it all. Especially Jimi, Jeff Beck, Cream(still listen to all at least every week) and Blue Cheer. Only band I haven't heard you mention from 60's was Spirit. There was so much music from this time. Much appreciate your mentioning Motown et al., Soul and Black artists as well were very important.
Blue Cheer? I love them! 😂
Well done. I grew up with the era. The soundtrack of my life. I remember watching The Beatles when they appeared live on Ed Sulivan, buying the first Yardbird singles. I got a job at the largest record store in western Canada, in Winnipeg, Manitoba,, called Opus 69/ Campus Records. I had 800 record albums by 1974, became a lead singer , with the brother orf Randy Bachman as guitarist, becamse a guitarist myself, started a blues band, and the last gigs I were doing was with the JImmay Mayes Mill Street Depot,. Jimmy had played with Hendrix, Aretha Franklin, WIlson Pickett, etc...I thought I had hit the big time but I didnt want to smell like a cigarette every night, even though I had stopped somking, and being surrounded by drunk people all the time. I thank Jimmy for giving some books about Krishna at the Detroit Airport and to George Harrison, for introducing me to Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. For me, being introduced to Krishna was the greatest contribution that any musician could make to understanding self realization and the goal of lifo, love of Krishna. You churned a lot of great memories with this video JT. I had albums of almost everyone you addressed in your History of Rock and Roll videos. I found the humour distracting in the video. It must have taken you a lot of time to put all this together. Thank you. very much. I agree with you that it was really stupid of the Stones to hire the Hells Angels as "security". The greatest song of the erain my opinion, was My Sweet Lord, because it contained the Hare Krishna mantra which when chanted is very transformative, purifying to the consciousness., freeing one from any unhalthy addiction they might have.. Hare Krishna!
Great video , I often find myself enjoying these longer format ones more
JTCurtisMusic, this is absolutely incredible!! HURRAH! I was 16/17 in 1967, my favorite year! THANK YOU.
The Beatles and Hendrix r the greatest thing to ever happen to music... I love all 60s music but the Beatles and Hendrix r why i started playing instruments and writing music.
No argument here 👍
And Pink Floyd
Jimi Hendrix blew away the Brits!
Hendrix and Led Zeppelin!
This is one of the best "rockumentary" I have ever seen heard! I have seen 95% of the artists shown here. Our age group had a wonderful experience with music, and a kick ass time exploring, learning, enjoying it all while growing up.
❤✌😀=the 60's
I absolutely LOVED this series, thank you so very much for making it, it’s been super insightful and the humour was super funny and engaging. I have no idea why some people had problems with it, it’s brilliant!
I have sent this comment on the 60s Part 2 episode as it was my favourite, super funny, interesting and engaging, well done!
So out of curiosity, Which one was your favourite to make? And what one are you the most proud of?
I feel like I have to sign this comment off with “peace and love” as it’s the 60s video, so there you go 😂
This episode may very well be my favorite because my father (Playing The Hippie Bum) got to get his Woodstock story on video before he passed and getting the privilege to act on camera with him is a moment I'll treasure forever.
What i like the most about these videos, is the fact that i can expand my spotify playlist constantly with songs that were included in these videos. White room and I feel free from cream, a bit of otis redding and wilson pickett and a few of the guitar god Jimi hendrix
God is capitalized!
Thank You, this is so inspiring! I first noticed the 50's episode a year and a half ago when I was exploring the world of rock'n'roll. And the video was one of the top at the list. I watched it and some of your performances too. So I wonder why you have so few subscribers... (Nonetheless devoted ones!) Anyway the one interested in rock (as me) should appreciate your talent. Or is it because that only few people are interested in particularly establishing patterns rather than just listening to music? I'm sorry for such a long comment, that was the first of mine on youtube and I liked to talk to this bar :)
I have now watched this video for the fourth time. It really is great stuff, informative and very enterteining. I am very much looking forward to see your next episode. The 70s were in my opinion the peak of rock music. The 50s and 60s may have given birth to R'n'R but the 70s brought it to new levels. The number of influential bands and the diversity of sub genres is just so extremely large. Prog rock, hard rock, glam rock, jazz rock, punk rock, new wave are so much related to this decade.
Excellent job, I'm loving everything about this episode. You guys played all the best music and information about the 60's, the best era for Rocking!!!!! JT is a musical virtuoso!!!! Bravo!!!!
Most appreciated Andy!
I'm so happy that you mentioned The Moody Blues! Days of Future Passed is a fantastic album! I have to listen to it in it's entirely because it's that awesome of an album and it wouldn't make sense if I skip the songs! All the songs are awesome and it's definitely one of the albums that changed my life! Nights In White Satin and Tuesday Afternoon are awesome songs! It's my fourth favorite rock album of the 1960s, only behind The Beatles' Abbey Road, The Who's My Generation, and The Yardbirds' Raving Up With the Yardbirds. The fifth spot will go to CCR's Green River. And I'm sorry, but Days of Future Passed beats Jimi Hendrix Experience's Are You Experienced by a longshot! 1967 was a really awesome year in music and there were just too many awesome albums released that year.
Oh yes! I've been waiting for this so long, thank you!
Proof that commentators who love their subject make us love it too. Great Job!!
Both of these I've seen are great, nice work. They are also actually funny, and someone took care to make the sound loud and proud. Thanks a million.
Your videos are very informative and dope!! Can't wait for the 1970s episodes in 2018-2019.
I've been really enjoying this video series so far. You do a great job of encompassing many, many high points within a limited amount of time, and the humorous stuff you throw in keeps it easy to watch! I'm curious to see what you've got in store for the 1970s and beyond.
One very minor correction, the so-called Sunset Strip Riots actually occurred outside of Pandora's Box, not the Whisky a Go-Go, which is located down on the other side of the strip. Only mentioning this because Pandora's Box was forced to close in the aftermath, while the Whisky is still operational today. Keep on rockin'.
Well, I saw a lot of these groups back in the '60s, yes, I'm a "boomer," and my favorites would have to be Hendrix, Cream and the Doors. I've got a playlist on YT Music, "Mainly Wild '60s Rock," with more than 1,000 songs from this era. I met a lot of performers like Janis and Jim Morrison. Back in those days it was very casual and if you wanted to see people in a band you went backstage. More often than not they were just smoking a joint out back and we'd join them. I saw the Doors many times at the Whiskey in Hollywood. There was more music released from 1966-70 than in any other similar time period in history.
Ok boomer nah I’m just plying that’s actually really cool dude!!! 😎🤘🏻
Different times. Musicians were approachable and friendly w fans
I wish you had covered Syd Barrett's actual guitar playing. I take it you'll cover the hell out of "Dark Side of the Moon" in the 70's documentary, but to me and all my friends, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" (in its superior mono mix) is both the quintessential Pink Floyd and psychedelic rock album. Pink Floyd were literally the most futuristic band of the 60's, and Syd Barrett's innovative guitar playing spawned the birth of multiple genres, influencing guitarists for many decades after. I would cite his fluid use of improvisation and jazz/punk-like microtonal leads and riffs as essentially laying the blueprint for the future of rock music. Most people don't see this, but he's the hidden secret weapon for any aspiring guitarist to discover. He's the reason I picked up guitar and want to start a band. Rock music and the guitar as an instrument seemed all said and done until I heard the Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd. And that live Stockholm show from 1967 that was released on the Early Years boxset (which is on the official Pink Floyd topic channel on RUclips) really helps showcase Syd's incredible riffmaking, So many musicians of the 60's and 70's, including Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Pete Townshend, David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Brian Eno, The Sex Pistols, The Damned, Throbbing Gristle, John Frusciante, and many others, they all deeply respected Syd Barrett's guitar playing.
Also worth covering was the Texas band The 13th Floor Elevators, their lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Roky Erickson, and their lead guitarist Stacy Sutherland. They toured San Francisco, and brought the psychedelic rock sound there while most groups there were still playing folk. If you listen to their Avalon Ballroom gig recording, they were literally the heaviest band of 1966. And they literally would trip during all their performances, and penned lyrics about tripping and achieving a higher state of consciousness. Lyrically, they were the esoteric equivalent of Bob Dylan. Quite frankly, the most esoteric band in all of rock history. Their debut rock'n roll album "The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators" with its hit single "You're Gonna Miss Me", their magnum opus "Easter Everywhere" with its 8-minute opening track "Slip Inside This House", and the down-to-earth Stacy Sutherland-led "Bull of the Woods" are a massive trilogy of killer rock albums. Yet another secret weapon for the aspiring guitarist. Needless to say, the psychedelia did not go over well in their home state, and they missed their chance at fame due to drug arrests and a greedy independent record label.
Also, Jefferson Airplane didn't reach their experimental psychedelic peak until "After Bathing At Baxter's", followed by "Crown of Creation". These albums have a much heavier sound which makes "Surrealistic Pillow" sound like soft rock. The Byrds pioneered psychedelic rock with their single "Eight Miles High" and its b-side "Why". Album-wise, their best would have to be "Younger Than Yesterday". Country Joe & The Fish, the same band Country Joe McDonald fronted, also revolutionized music with their album "Electric Music for the Mind and Body" with its direct references to psychedelic drug use and its trippy revolutionary sound.
Also, who could forget Frank Zappa and his once best friend Captain Beefheart? Frank Zappa, the avant-garde absurdist guitar genius with his group The Mothers of Invention releasing the revolutionary "Freak Out!", "Absolutely Free", the psychedelic rock parody "We're Only In It For The Money", and the group's magnum opus before Zappa went solo "Uncle Meat". Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band pushed the envelope even further into bluesy Dadaist territory, like a Howlin' Wolf on acid, with "Safe As Milk", "Strictly Personal", and the insanely notoriously demented microtonal futuristic anti-masterpiece that is THE "Trout Mask Replica", which still inspires heated debates and challenges listeners to this very day.
There is, of course, so much more that can be covered, especially in the realm of British psychedelic music. The Pretty Things' "S.F. Sorrow", for example, the true heir to the title of first rock opera. And the original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green and Danny Kirwan. As a guitarist, Peter Green impressed B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, and so many others. The Beatles' "Sun King" on their "Abbey Road" album was directly influenced by Fleetwood Mac's hit instrumental single "Albatross". And their 1969 album "Then Play On" is as good as any Led Zeppelin album. Although the last Fleetwood Mac single with that lineup, "The Green Manalishi", didn't come out until 1970, so I'm guessing that opens the doors for them to be covered in the 70's.
Anyway, I find these all very essential to understanding psychedelic rock and 60's music as a whole as anything else that's been covered, and they are my top picks that I felt worth mentioning. Overall, I feel you did a great job, though, but I wish you had split the 60's into 3 parts and gotten into the deeper cuts and alternative history. But that's just me. And for God's sakes, cut Tiny Tim some slack. His "God Bless Tiny Tim" album is a great psychedelic pop album. Give the song "Strawberry Tea" a listen. It might change your mind about him. Anyway, I hope everyone had fun reading this comment, if you've reached this far. lol Peace and love.
This might be the best youtube-comment I've ever read
Love your passion and knowledge.
@@loaxelsson1394 this is a fucking essay
Loved reading this. Thank you! And thanks for opening up my mind to some new (old) things
@@judeolney2944 I must revise my essay a bit, though. “The Notorious Byrd Brothers” is the best Byrds album, but “Younger Than Yesterday” is still fantastic.
First of all, compliments to your great videos and to you. Astounding!
For the 70's...ELP is a must. Funny how that band can be a great example of everything great about the 70's and everything that was wrong with it at the same time.
Am I the only one who likes the fashion of these times ?
The velvet , the jeans , the jackets
I forgot about all the velvet 😂
That costume change but at 6:58 made me laugh for a solid minute
for such a young man, you really have a great appreciation of the music of the 60s!! Dwayne Allman was amazing and you do get it.
thank you!!!
Grace Slick was in a competing band "The Great Society" and was already performing "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" when Signe Anderson quit Jefferson. Grace brought "Somebody" written by her brother in law in the Great Society and her song to JA
My favorite Airplane is still Come Up the Years from Takes Off
This is frickin' hilarious! Really great job.
Love your vids, your humour is magical, especially during the orchestral end to 'A Day In A Life,' and of course, Hendrix setting fire to his guitar. Keep it up guys, you rock!
It's 00:12am. Fuck it. I've been waiting for this for too long
Marcus Aldred I agree
Thanks and keep on the good work! (though I did not hear about Love and the "Forever Changes" masterpiece) ;-)
Gotta say the Beatles are my favorite 60s artist. In the 70s, I need to hear about Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin!
You won't be disappointed! ;)
When I wrote the comment yesterday, I had no idea the video was from 4 years ago!
Then, I finished up through the 1990s in one day. Great video series!
There really was so much more to the 60's than what you had time to cover. I'm a 60's music fanatic, and I wish you had time to cover the great bands from The Netherlands, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, and yes, South America.
I would love a documentary on the Brazil Tropicalia movement!
Man, I love these! Keep em coming!
In a gadda da Vida was the first vinyl I ever owned. I was a little kid but dug that song, and I played it constantly.
Great job JT. Due in part (maybe) to: 1. you are a pretty darn good musician (takes one to know one) and 2. You have good taste. I liked that you put it all in context of the times without over doing it. I'm a 67 year old geezer (how did that happen?) so was right age for all that fun when happened, and could find no fault or stumble in what you chose and why. Oh, love that Gretsch Tennessee Rose (right?). My fave? Jimi. Saw 3 times, and one time was GOD (good batting average). First time heard Purple Haze thought "Well this changes everything..."
My favorite episode. I love this one so much. :>
BTW the main electrification influence on Bob Dylan was Mike Bloomfield whom he asked to play WITH (not the other way as popularized in Rock mythology). After playing with Bob Dylan, he moved to San Francisco where he had a major influence on the psychedelic sound.
Lots of good stuff man. Can’t believe you went over Woodstock without a single mention of Canned Heat! I was holding out hope you’d bring them up, they’re my favorite 😂
Yeah my dad never really talked about them, I guess they didn't leave as much of an impression. But I do like them.
So good, that I found your canal.
I say you "big thank you" for funny and full lesson about rock, you are big master and filled my attention , success to you, and greetings from Siberia, I will follow you!))
1:00 - Grace Slick wrote and performed White Rabbit in her first band the Great Society.
grace didn’t write it, i forgot which one but either her husband or brother in law wrote it, the other wrote somebody to love. Jerry slick was her husband, Darby was her brother in law
The decade of the sixties was to change the course of music history forever.
It wasn't the decade that changed music history. It was the musicians! (Sorry! I couldn't resist making this dumb comment!)
This brings back a flood of memories of a time in my life when the music scene was undergoing major changes.
Watching the Beach Boys documentary on Disney Plus definitely me a huge fan of them. Pet Sounds is their best album easily. You could hear that they were growing up. And technically I wouldn't say that there was a rivalry between The Beatles and The Beach Boys. They both needed each other to make music advance more into different territories. Both experimented with different sounds and see where rock would go. Smiley Smile, Wild Honey, Friends and 20/20 are also great albums. Hard discography to rank honestly. Definitely one of the best bands of all time. Today was the album that is as innovative as Rubber Soul. Today has the best of both worlds. Has the feel with the early surf albums and what would become the sound of Pet Sounds with The Wrecking Crew.
This was for me the best period in rock history
Hand down.
Good stuff! I wish I'd been there. Oh wait, I was! Don't remember it too well.
These are the greatest videos on the internet! Thank you for doing what you do
Love these vids. Should have a lot more views!!!
What a decade for music.
Did you mention The Animals house of the rising sun English rock band, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in the early 1960s with Eric Burdon amazing voice and Alan Price amazing keyboard playing
It was originally in the first episode but due to a copyright claim I was forced to cut it out of the video - which is so stupid because now The Animals are not represented in this series.
@@JTCurtisMusic i personally like Eric Burdon and war blues - I think ive got most of them
I took a rock n roll history course in college and I think we spent about half the semester talking about the 60s. I think you did great summarizing but as you said, there was too much going on to fit into a video.
As far as what you should talk about for the 70s, my class completely skipped over punk rock and I found that very frustrating. Personally I think punk was just a big "fuck you" to all the prog rock stuff that was happening in the 60s. Almost like a counter culture to the counter culture.
Yes, that late 70s period where Punk Rock starts to turn to New Wave is an amazing period for rock music: The Cars, The Police, The Clash, great stuff indeed. I think most rock and roll classes focus on the 60s and the early 70s. The 90s will be interesting for us since there is no "Rock class" for that period. Fortunately we both lived through that period, so we know all about it.
I, too, took a rock and roll history class, but it was in 1970 at U of O. I respected punk as a vomit back to big hair tight satin pants crap goin down mid 70's. New wave esp Talking Heads... yeah
The difference between progressive rock and punk rock is super slim.
Lovely💕😍 episode. God bless🙏
One of my favorite albums of the sixties is The Mothers of Intention's " were only in it for the money " .
Agreed
Hey - I only just found your videos and am definitely enjoying them. I was tuned in around 1969 and was fortunate enough to see many of the bands you discuss. A few random thoughts: 1. It was kind of funny that I agreed with many of the slightly negative comments about GNR or Michael Jackson, for example; 2. You didn't give The Dead much love - flash and hits may not have been their hallmarks, but they played more shows than anyone$, and never played the same show twice. I could go on but suffice to say that life as a deadhead wasn't bad; 3. Lou Reed's Rock and Roll Animal with Intro, Sweet Jane, and Heroin is one of the more underrated albums, especially given its age; 4. While he remained relatively unknown until his death in the late '80's, Roy Buchanan was one of the best, and I argue, one of the most influential guitarists period. He started in the late 50's and played with some pretty big names at the time, and also played regularly at the Crossroads in MD. By the late mid-sixties a lot of stars had seen or heard him and even played with him - Beck, Hendrix, Jagger, Lennon are mentioned in stories. In 1971, Bill Graham hosted a TV program about him as the greatest unknown guitarist. Further on up the Road has interviews with Robbie Robertson, etc. telling these stories. Remember when you listen to Roy, that he only used a Telecaster and a Fender Amp - nothing else (up until the 80's at least). Check out The Messiah Will Come Again, Roys Bluz, I'm Evil, and his great Hey Joe. Or just acquire a copy of "Second Album" which is my personal choice for the one album I could have if I was stranded on a island (not sure how I'd be playing that album being stranded and all...)
Thank you. In response to The Dead, that was pretty much my dad's opinion being shared. He saw them at Woodstock, wasn't impressed (yes I know they've said it wasn't one of their better shows) but they never really did it for me either. Now Roy Buchanan I do agree is a fantastic guitarist. In fact my band used to cover "Messiah Will Come Again" one one or two occasions. Sadly, with everyone else to talk about, he got lost in the fold.
One particular highlight of CSN's set at Woodstock was their performance of Paul McCartney's Blackbird.
You need more subscribers dude this is great content, keep it up 👍
Excellent video! The humor you used kept older viewers watching and learning. Though older viewers probably know nothing about Bono and his boys, when your older friend says "Are you two gonna keep interrupting me?" Why not say "I don't hear any Irish men playing music, that's being saved for a different video!" Gotta know my favorite artist(s)? As far as I'm concerned, nobody beats Simon and Garfukel, not even the super hard rock yet to come which I listen to day in and day out. Let's see what you have to say about the '70's.
Thank you Mark.
best music of all time
AMEN. AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN to your final point about how the world NEEDS a musical revolution like the 60's where we break away from what divides us and embrace what brings us together as people. Now.... it'll never happen because we have Corporate and Cultural overloads but still...... it's a nice thought lol
King Crimson definitely needs to be in the next episode. I was kind of hoping to see them on this one, well you did show the first album cover.
Trogs, Wild things, first heavy metal riff. 1966 was the most amazing year for memorable numbers and artists on the Billboard charts. Incredible String Band did a Saturday morning Woodstock gig., and then flew to Flushing Meadows park in Queens NY. via helicopter for a Folk pop festival performance that evening at the Worlds Fair grounds.
David Geffen should of been mentioned for his work with Laura Nyro, and for providing the germination for Crosby Stills and Nash to develop into the powerhouse band that they were.
@@stevemarco8631 Laura was a brilliant writer but I dunno if I’d really classify her as rock and roll. Also I think Ahmet Ertegun had more to do with Crosby Stills and Nash getting out there, also suggesting Neil Young join the band.
watching this in 2021, AWE-SOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The greatest musical decade of the XX Century !!
For me my favorites are the later stuff of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones (that I hope would get on Christmas) Procol Harum, King Crimson, the Moody Blues and of course Pink Floyd's 60s albums. And not to mention the other greats of sixties like Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and The Doors. Plus a lot of lesser known acts that didn't get a lot of attention but which are also cool too!
Very entertaining...enjoyed it
Hey JT awesome video about 60s Rock what I think you should definitely include in the 70s video is Elton John, Billy Joel and Queen and a little more of The Grateful Dead and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
The 60s still make me "HAPPY"💊❤️🧬🌎😳😁🤣

I love Abbey Road as a closer for The Beatles and the decade, but I honestly feel Let it Bleed is better for an ending with "Gimme Shelter" or "You Can't Always Get What You Want" being a reminder to the counter culture of the reality they lived in, loved the video, JT !!
٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡
P.S.
I feel the Rolling Stones Rock & Roll circus could've been featured as well, they even had The Dirty Mac, the early Jethro Tull with Tommy Iommi and the best live performance of "Sympathy for the Devil".
In the great rock vs folk split -- I went with folk and only heard most of the rock by accident on the radio and in the corridors of my college dorm. My favorite group was Ian and Sylvia. Please don't hurt me...
You're a phenomenal guitar player. That Jimmi was 💪
Thank you!
Very good guys entertaining I see you touched base on most of the 60's music however you didn't hit on the bubble gum rock of that era otherwise great stuff my friends
Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco" is another 1966 release though it was debuting in the first week or so of 1967. That's likely the same for the Buffalo Springfield track, late 1966 issue, early 1967 chart debut.
Whiter Shade Of Pale, another 1966 track. Procul Harum's 1967 offering was "Homburg"/Good Captain Clack". and "Time Of The Season" was from 1969.
First heavy metal song...Helter Skelter IMO
