This video has been here for 12 years at the time of my comment, and I hope it never vanishes! I've watched this copy of it at least two-dozen times! Thanks for posting, those 12 years ago!
This is absolutely no more than a random coincidence. Belief in superstition/irrationality in one of the reasons we’re in the situation we’re in, respectfully
Beautiful! Amazing! I play her in my Manhattan gay bar and people are entranced. I wish modern folks were aware enough to appreciate music from this generation.
@@NG-ki5eo They know a lot of them, but Julie was never big this side of the pond. When I play Season of the Witch people recognize it as a Donovan cover.
@@danielscott1749 Actually you have a good point, stereotyping humans by generations is ignorant always exceptions to every generalization, must say everything is much easier with YT.
14 november 2024. I've listened to many versions of this. Never ever saw this video. I'm quite baffled and humbled by my own ignorance.. Never knew this gem existed, and it's awesome.
Yes, it is stunning, but what is it? A record company promotional film? A film insert for a television programme? One of those films that played alongside the track in those very advanced jukeboxes that only the French seem to have had? It looks French, even if Driscoll's clothes have a "London" look about them.
Wow. I've always thought that "Season of the Witch" ought to be sung by somebody who sounds like a witch. And now I've had my wish granted. SUCH a witchy vocal performance (at least, if you ask me)! And SUCH mesmeric wiggly dancing! And more to the point, perhaps, SUCH a baleful hexing stare! I love it! All of it! Julie Driscoll is great; she was the Great Witch of Swinging London.
Wiggly dancing LOL Me and my mates used to trip dance like that to everything I think. A spliff first and a dance space after to enjoy this expressive stuff, unlike disco dancing yah came later, if a girl was still dancing with you at the end of the music, you were going to get laid that night. Girls in those happy days dropped the ambiguity of sexual intention they made the choices and let you know it. Bring it all back, the world was a better place sigh…
At the time, Julie Driscoll ( Tippets ) looked like no one else. She also had a fantastic voice! A great song. As is their version of This Wheels On Fire
@@AetherIdol must be tedious to go around youtube and calling everything the most x thing ever to get likes. Almost as tedious as scrolling past and having to read the copy-paste "creative" efforts of unoriginal bores expecting to be praised for trite cliche's.
My only claim to fame, being Julie's cousin, fond memorises as a kid visiting my Auntie Sis and her sister Angela, listening to the trains rattling past the window in their flat in Vauxhall, I must have been 6 or 7, mid 50's now but still love her music :-D
Interestingly, the word 'WITCH' DERIVES FROM THE WORD 'WIT.' Wit has to do with wisdom, intelligence, smarts, knowledge, not as the patriarchy would have you believe, eh? No long nosed hags here! Rather those WOMEN who possess wisdom.
Julie used to be Georgio's secretary and often used to take the money at both Croydon and Richmond Crawdaddy. Angie used to work the cloakroom. Hamish Grimes was in charge and became a friend of mine later. Hamish was the man who did the YaRdbiRdS logo. I was only 16 but later used to stamp peoples hands with pass-outs. Great days.
Lols and Mage comes from MAgus and Magister - master - basically you were not allowed to be wise in those days unless you were Noble or connected to the church = same thing really
I used to go out with one of Julie's cousins back in the day. In the Haight and in Hollywood. I remember he was a sweetie pie though he did too many drugs ( we all did back then, though ). Fond memories of a wild and often turbulent time.
There is only 1 Julie, she is the bomb. She was my style icon when 15. I had the same haircut and eye make and I still dance like Julie. The music and singing just speaks for itself, superb.
One of the best Pop & Rock female singers and one of the best Keyboard bands ever - what a combination, and a great song from Donovan! And a fine Video too, there were more good Clips in the late sixties and early seventies as there is known today ...
Back in the day, I was lucky enough to see Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity in a really intimate little gig, probably the best gig I've ever been to!
This video is stupendous. Pre-CGI and all the better for it. Julie is beautiful and her vocals are incredible. Brian’s mastery of the Hammond B3 is on display here. As much as I love Donovan, this cover is far better than the original.
Video is cool, but I respectfully disagree. She insists upon herself. Her vocals are delivered off cadence to the point that it’s distracting, not enjoyable. The wavy hands…. Idk, the performance, seems unauthentic.

@@DIANAWARWICKsorry that's bull! the words wit and witch have nothing to do with each other. Witch derived from the old english word wicce and in turn from proto-germanic wikkōna and means to conjure, soothsay, practice sorcery. Wit on the other hand is derived from proto germanic witja, which means to know, knowledge, reason, understanding.
I admit I'm here because of seeing Julie on the Monkees 33 & 1/3 rev per Monkees from 1968. She and Brian Auger were amazing and I'm looking for more of their music. Great stuff.
Such a good version of this song. Actually probably my 2nd favourite! The 1st still being Julie Driscoll (and Brian Auger & Trinity) but I mean the one performed on that German(?) (B&W) TV show. Posted by "miles&dizzy"... THAT'S my favourite version, it really gives me goosebumps! Man, the style of EVERYTHING here gives me nostalgia for a time that I never lived! 😊 I was born too late in 1979. It WAS nice catching the 1980s and 1990s though! ✌🏼😀👍🏼
Often heard this on a small, progressive rock program aired in late afternoon-evening by a little low-power station called WZUM near Pittsburgh, PA. One of my faves back in senior year HS.
Amazing to think the boomer music artists were the progeny of WW2 vets isn't it? The music, the dancing; light years away from their parents' Vera Lynn.
It's highly likely that the singer isn't a boomer but rather a Selent Gen (prior generation). The boomers tended to be the kid-fans while the artists were older: Beatles, Rolling Stones, Dylan etc... none boomers.
Great version... original by Donavon. She has an amazing dare I say beautiful sound and presence...with Brian Auger they where a formidable jazz/rock band definitely up there with the greats. They need more credit.❤
Alive for 55 years and i feel ive been robbed of this deliciousness by hearing this for the first time ever. For what reason do i get this, at this time? Ill have to consult my cards
Wow, i have'nt seen Brian Auger and Julie since i was a kid. It's a journey back in time . I love Hannomd Organ, i like this cover as well as Supersession's one; two different styles on vocals and organ , both really good.
EnosEverything Well Wurlitzer was also good; Farfisa it depends: in Italy it used to be the cheaper one, mostly used by the ones who can not afford Hammond. However is mostky matter of tastes
By the 1970's, disc jockeys in Philadelphia, a city rife, saturated with record stores and music of many kinds, had more or less forgotten people like Julie Driscoll, Brain Auger, and scores of other great musicians of a preceding era, or of preceding eras. Infamy.
Wow! Better then the original one. I didn’t know this one. I really like the organ part of the song….it takes you in another world…if you know what I mean…🚬
That hammond organ sounds completely broken and glorious!
Some tracks, Brian Auger could break your bones with that Hammond.
I thought it had a Ten Wheel Drive feel...
I was just thinking along your lines!!!! Great minds think alike!!!!!
Fantastic, Julie Driscoll & Brian Auger Icons ,my youth 😂❤

50+ years ago listening to this in high school. Fuck, I'm old. Still love it.
I was born the following year and this is my first time hearing this version the whole way through.
You're old? I was the DJ playing it on the radio.
beyond fabulous...so glad i'm a '68 baby
November 5, 2024...the synchronicity of this randomly popping up on my algorithm on this particular day is not lost on me. Peace and Love.🌼✌❤
I cannot believe I've never seen this or heard of it!
@@LtJackbootI've not heard this version, either.
It's rare to see someone use the word "synchronicity" properly.
THERE'S A LOTTA GOOD MUSIC TO DISCOVER....❤

do you mean like Kids in the 60s were aware of what Came before
or how Boomers are Aware of what great music is happening today
Is that what you mean.
@@danielscott1749 Actually you have a good point, stereotyping humans by generations is ignorant always exceptions to every generalization, must say everything is much easier with YT.
I was totally entranced!!
She’s stunning and such a superb voice…
Superb singing. Great soulful voice. That Hammond organ is so trippy.
So blissful

Terry Reid did a really good version too!
I'm so proud I was born in 1966 the year the world and music started to drastically change for the better love this track julie is a true 60s icon
I was 13 in 1968. It took me about 5 seconds to remember this song.
The 60s were a great time to be a teenager...this is a great reminder of those times.
If you weren't an ethnic minority, or gay.
My Mum and Dads generation ❤ they're still Married 50 years strong
At the time, Julie Driscoll ( Tippets ) looked like no one else. She also had a fantastic voice! A great song. As is their version of This Wheels On Fire
Siouxie sioux does that song the best.
Beatles,.Rolling Stones,.Bob Dylan...none are Boomers.
This is the most 60s thing in the world.
For you...

Julie Driscoll album titled, "1969" is just brilliant filled with jazz funk soul, crystalline vocals and a just touch of pathos.
this song is a piece of crap, c »mon

trop trop bon, heureuse d'avoir retrouvé une de mes idoles des années 60! GENIAL!
Julie is an amazing vocalist, Brian, a brilliant musician .
Sounds like a Super Session ❤❤❤❤
Amazing Julie Driscoll singer ! Amazing Brian Auger hammond player ! Three masterpiece years 1966/67/68 , wonderful and unforgotten!
One of the greatest female vocalist this country has produced.
couldn't agree more
There is only 1 Julie, she is the bomb. She was my style icon when 15. I had the same haircut and eye make and I still dance like Julie. The music and singing just speaks for itself, superb.
I LOVE THE MOTHERFUDGING SIXTIES!!
got me thinking you weren't worried about the draft and maybe going to vietnam- yeah nothing like "missing out on the good times"
Fantastic let’s never forget these iconic musicians
One of the best Pop & Rock female singers and one of the best Keyboard bands ever - what a combination, and a great song from Donovan! And a fine Video too, there were more good Clips in the late sixties and early seventies as there is known today ...
What sex were the rest of the band?
We forget how much experimentation was happening in so-called 'pop' music of this time- loved this era...
I am so very
grateful to have grown up in this colorful, shrill, sometimes chaotic,
but in every sense so innovative and experimental.
Me too.🙏🌈
Back in the day, I was lucky enough to see Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger and the Trinity in a really intimate little gig, probably the best gig I've ever been to!
Groove on that ocular mise en scène!
You probably won't believe but that's my granny
Edit: Haha, i just came back to this comment 2 years later, thanks for all the likes! (:
TSM_Devvo o haha she’s cool!
wow cool lol
Waow! I looooove that song ! and I could kill for a coat like that !
judging by that background she took some good drugs back in the day
TSM_Devvo a very beautiful woman with a fabulous voice
My favourite since I've been 18. Now I'm 72....
best comment!
❤️❤️❤️
the very best cover by jools and she was so beautiful and the voice was fabulous !
A seriously underrated singer...
Ratings are overrated.
Very true , she had a good voice
@@colettedemaria1009
Absolutely agree 👍
I remember buying the album with this cut when it first came out and I still play it today!!! Outstanding!!!!!
This video is stupendous. Pre-CGI and all the better for it. Julie is beautiful and her vocals are incredible. Brian’s mastery of the Hammond B3 is on display here. As much as I love Donovan, this cover is far better than the original.
Donovan had such great ideas and compositions. No wonder others lapped the stuff up.
Video is cool, but I respectfully disagree. She insists upon herself. Her vocals are delivered off cadence to the point that it’s distracting, not enjoyable. The wavy hands…. Idk, the performance, seems unauthentic.
@@ChaswellQuint Was the sixties and seventh chords
@@freestate6200 I hear you. The arrangement is good, it’s a nice spin on the song for sure.
Agreed. And that's a rare thing, coming from my mouth. Few covers are better than the original, but this is the exception.
Great psychidelic..song...🎹🎹🎹🎹great ..julie...
A truly stunning lady, with a truly stunning voice.xx
I love this song. And how glad I am they shot this video. What a treasure!
Julie Driscoll 'High Priestess of Groovy' Season Of The Witch (1968) my all time fav #Halloween song
This set is so cool
Just discovered Julie Driscoll. Wow! That voice is wonderful.
BEST VERSION EVER--NO-ONE SANG LIKE JULIE DRISCOLL---AMAZING --MY FAVORITE---TUNE --THIS ONE RULES---AS TIMELESS---
I remember the day I bought this. I was 16. I bought it with some of my birthday money!
Listened to this many times tripping on acid. Amazing version then and still is wonderful.
Julie Driscoll and Brian Auger! Heavy Mod at its finest.so awesome? 😎😎😎😎👍
She is absolutely floating! What a trip, darling!
Where have you been all of my life?❤
Wow ! so spaced out man, I'm digging it cool cats.
JULIE DRISCOLL sure makes THIS Classic her Own...
BRIAN AUGER was the musical arranger but THAT Voice!
TRINITY sure ROCKED!
She became a decent Jazz come Soul artist and I’ve always loved her voice.
You can hear the jazz in this tune
@@skeletonet4547
Sure can.
Decent?...That's it?
My God... So May Versions, But I'm So Happy This May Be My Favorite. So Before Their Time.. So Talented.
great name for a song..season of the witch....psychedellic background...unusual minimal organ from brian.....julie as fabulous as ever.

Never heard ot before..am Dutch..58..it s amazing song!!
Love the visuals
Man, this video is a time capsule so cool ,fantastic,
Often heard this on a small, progressive rock program aired in late afternoon-evening by a little low-power station called WZUM near Pittsburgh, PA. One of my faves back in senior year HS.
She is really feeling the music and what a voice. This is fantastic.
This is like the most groovy , psychedelic video EVER man!
Captures the groovy 1960s.
the video is amazing! so cool!!! i like singing this song! THANKS 4 the Music!!!
Great rendition of this song, and simple but effective video effects, I really enjoyed this video.
Bellissimo video, l'Hammond e Driscoll..atmosfera psichedelica anni 60, ma la stagione della strega e' attualissima❤❤❤❤❤
OH! I Love It! You've Got To Pick Up EVERY Stitch!!!

Unity in voices!Blue waves of 2020 beautiful!Cinematic showstopper.

I personally love Wurtilzzer Organ and Farfeeza Organ more than the Hannomd... Nearly as much as I enjoy proof reading my emails...
EnosEverything Well Wurlitzer was also good; Farfisa it depends: in Italy it used to be the cheaper one, mostly used by the ones who can not afford Hammond. However is mostky matter of tastes
again you tube venue for great stuff love Brian not heard of Julie cant be live I missed this. a truemy groovy time piece.
That Hammond is far out , man.
I remember this back in the day....
Still Tokin' 😎
Brian Auger and the Trinity. Great.
very trippy !
Great Version!!! Kudos to the Great Donovan!❤❤
Beautiful, Thank you !! Like taking a step back in a time machine . . . . . .
Yes sitting here sipping my coffee lapping this up thankyou

GOD still fantastic 2015
Robin the raver it's 2016 and it still hits the spot
neill Sloan 2017..still awesome
I'm mesmerized by the in-camera effect of the rotating color wheel thing and the painted set.
My youth... a lot of memories....
Best version ever.
she was a beautiful unique looking woman had loads of ladies used to copy her hair and make-up
great cover of this Donovan clasic
Oh, she was my goddess in voice and music!!
This wa great whiler balling and tripping on acid, it's just as good 45 years later.
Listened to her and Auger in a Jazz club in Aachen in the 90th. They still were great.
such a great song
Outstanding !!!
i wish it never ever ever ever ended
Wow! Better then the original one. I didn’t know this one. I really like the organ part of the song….it takes you in another world…if you know what I mean…🚬
Assolutamente oltre il tempo e lo spazio spaventosamente magnifica
