The 'psychedelic 60's' (and early 70's), where it all began.

[st.bot.32]

the album (from 1970) is really worth listening to as well

 

[Caduceus Mercurius]

Jefferson Airplane - Ballad of You & Me & Pooneil (Live 1970)

OMG!!! I had no idea!!

Santana - Soul Sacrifice (Woodstock 1969)

And a willing sacrifice it was! Look at all the happy people!

Some of my favorite tunes:

The Grateful Dead - Mountains Of The Moon (live at the Playboy Mansion, January 1969)

The Grateful Dead - St. Stephen (live at the Playboy Mansion)

The Grateful Dead - St. Stephen (live at the Playboy Mansion)

uh these are cool. Read this (from youtube, 2 comments):

"The story goes with this scene, is that the deads entourage were trying to dose hugh hefner by putting acid in the coffee pot that everybody on the set were drinking from. To no avail because hef had a specific person that he took a sealed can of coke from and poured it into a glass and that glass never left his hand. Everyone on the set was on acid by the end of the shoot except for hef and barbie benson. That story was from Rock Scully the deads manager at the time. It was in his book ."

"In the Grateful Dead: The Illustrated Trip it says that they got acid on the mouthpiece of his Pepsi, and in A Long Strange Trip it says that Hef thanked the Dead for their "gift"."

The Moody Blues - Departure/Ride My See-Saw

Departure
Be it sight, sound, the smell, the touch.
There's something,
Inside that we need so much,
The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound,
Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground.
The wonder of flowers, to be covered, and then to burst up,
Through tarmac, to the sun again,
Or to fly to the sun without burning a wing,
To lie in the meadow and hear the grass sing,
To have all these things in our memories hoard,
And to use them,
To help us,
To find...hahaha HAHAHAHA HAHAHA
AAAAAYYYYYYEEEEEE!!!!
:yawinkle: :nod:

Man, I was dancing on my chair last night! And I was really digging your video!

Heh, we're listening to Captain Beyond's first album(s) @ the Head Office now.

NICE!!! Isn't great to work at a place where not only can you hear music but hear GREAT music? :rock: 8)

 

[Libertine]

OMG!!! I had no idea!!

Yeah I was pumped when I stumbled across the video too. The bassist and lead guitarist, Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen, went on to form a band called Hot Tuna after The Airplane broke up. They expanded on the psychedelic music they did with the Airplane...and made it heavier. Check it out.
Hot Tuna - Hit Single #1

And a willing sacrifice it was! Look at all the happy people!

Maybe it should have been called 'Ego Sacrifice'? Just a thought...

Some of my favorite tunes:

The Grateful Dead - Mountains Of The Moon (live at the Playboy Mansion, January 1969)

The Grateful Dead - St. Stephen (live at the Playboy Mansion)

Great stuff...The Dead definitely needed props on this thread. A great, and extremely important, band from the 60's-90's. But for some reason, while I dig them, I never got into them that heavily. As heavily as I got into The Doors, The Airplane and Hendrix let's say...

 

[Libertine]

Then of course there was King Crimson
Court of the Crimson King
21st Century Schizoid Man

And...Procol Harum
Simple Sister
Repent Walpurgis

 

[Caduceus Mercurius]

Ah yes!

Do you know Marillion? It's from the early eighties actually, but heavily influenced by the late '70s.

Marillion was formed in 1979 as Silmarillion, after J.R.R. Tolkien's book The Silmarillion. The band name was shortened to Marillion in 1981 to avoid any sort of copyright conflicts at the same time as Fish and bassist Diz Minnitt joined after an audition at Leyland Farm Studios in Buckinghamshire on 2 January 1981.
The early works of Marillion contained Fish's poetic and introspective lyrics melded with a complex and subtle musical tapestry to create a sound that reflected the band's influences, notably Queen, early Genesis, Pink Floyd, Van der Graaf Generator, Rush (specifically from the late 1970s), and Yes.

Yeah, I have heard of them, but I can't say I am very familiar with their work. I checked out some of the links and I see the influences from earlier bands in the Progressive Rock scene. Good stuff, thanks for the links...

Here is one worth checking out. It is off the Super Session cd. A cd which is a musical masterpiece, which is technically considered in the 'blues' genre but is still very psychedelic, featuring Al Kooper, Mike Bloomfield and Steven Stills...

His Holy Modal Majesty

 

[Libertine]

Some progressive stuff both from Sweden and from the early 70's...

[tryptonaut]

Wow, this is gonna take me a while to check out all your links - which I will definitely, because I love the late 60's early 70's psychedelic rock.

I think the first and main reason I ever became interested in LSD and psychedelic drugs was the music of the Doors - although I discovered them in the early nineties (when I was like 14)
I first caught the meaning of "psychedelic music" after I had done my first one or two little lsd trips when I listened to
The Doors - Not to touch the Earth

Other great psychedelic songs from that time that I absolutely love:
Pink Floyd - Matilda Mother
Pink Floyd - The Gnome
Donovan - Wear Your Love Like Heaven

and finally my favorite video - unfortunately it's not performed live, but I love their style and appearance on this show, and I also love how the guy at the vision mixer is going crazy flipping the picture once in a whle
Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit and Somebody to Love latter of which I think is one of the greatest rock songs of all times.

The Fifth Dimension - Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In

Damn, that just brought back childhood memories! I remember listening to that song from my mom's records when I was a kid (maybe eight years old) and I was loving it.

 

[Libertine]

Thanks for the additions tryptonaut...definitely old school drug soaked inspiration. I love Pink Floyd...and I spent a year and a half immersed in the music of The Doors back in the day. You Aqarius/Let the Sunshine In is one of the songs that really defines a generation...there isn't anything represents the peace and love and hippies of the 60's more than those songs.

This one is a definitive 60's tune too imho...

Canned Heat - Amphetamine Aniie

SPEED KILLS!!!!!

:shock: :lol:

 

[MelloTrip]

Nice topic ! I didn't know you liked Gong CM, they're pretty trippy to say the least.

Some more CAN :

Paperhouse (from Tago Mago) ->

Spoon (from Ege Bamyasi) ->

Spray (from Future Days) ->

I will never forget how i perceived this last song during my first mushroom trip. I felt my hearing was enhanced to the point i could hear every detail of the music, plus i had some synesthesic CEV matching perfectly this delightful sound.

The part from 5'43'' to 6'12'' is in my opinion one of the finest moments in the history of music.

I beg everybody here to listen to Spray the next time they smoke mj or go on a mushroom trip. Then give me feedback of course !

 

[Libertine]

I had never heard of Can, Mello Trip. I really dug what I heard though...thanks for the links. 8)

Here is one from early Fleetwood Mac...the part of the bands history known as 'The Peter Green Era'.

The Green Manalishi


This song has subsequently been covered by bands which include The Melvins and Judas Priest.

 

[Caduceus Mercurius]

Los Endos

 

[Libertine]

Jimi Hendrix & Janis Joplin - Summertime

 

[Libertine]

Derek and the Dominos - Key to the Highway

The Allman Brothers - Dreams


Dreams is live audio from the Atlanta International Pop Festival in July 1970...great song to trip or get high too imho. 8)
