I'm a huge Dead fan & used to follow the Dead, saw around 300 shows from '89-95 & over 100 JGB shows too. I lived in the Upper & Lower Haight & the Mission during that time before moving to Santa Cruz. I moved out east in the early 2000s & haven't been back to SF so watching your vid & seeing a number of places I used to hang was really sweet

In the summer of 1967 my dad had to go on a trip for Air Force business to SF, and we drove out from Utah in the family car. He loved taking in the sights, and we cruised up and down Ashbury to watch the crowds. In the evening we walked a bit, the streets were packed with hippies, street performers, and "musicians". The girls were very friendly to my dad who had a regulation airforce flattop haircut and me, still in elementary school. My mother was appalled; I loved it. Will never forget the energy that was there.

No one mentions the Fog Horn fish and chips restaurant. Near the End of Haight street near Golden Gate Park! For $1.00 you receive two large pieces of cod and it seemed like a pound of chips all deep fried in fish oil! It would feed one up! I loved that place, especially their malt vinegar! That was over 54 years ago now! WoW!!!

I used to sit in Golden Gate Park across from 2400 Fulton Street, cue the iPod, roll a number... and imagine all the shenanigans the Jefferson Airplane once got up to there 😌 ...one of my favorite spots to chill while living in SF. Greetings from Month 11 of isolation in Kobe, Japan, in the Time of Covid 🖖🏼

The Jefferson Airplane also had a huge house nearby on Fulton St. There was also the Free Clinic house and Charles Manson's place on Cole Street.

Been enjoying your channel, ( watching numerous videos). "Anything" about the Music, The Hippies, Laurel Canyon, Haight-Ashbury is of great interest to me. Also loved the walking tours of Laurel Canyon and all the stories. oNe LovE from NYC

Brings me back to the time I used to live in SF.

Have been there many times .I love it

My late friend Rita Perez grew up in the Castro back in the 60s....I met her at a headshop..

Haight Ashbury loved it when I finally got there from the UK back in 2017 a dream come true for me

Great video! I love seeing where the counterculture hung out

These video are totally amazing & very interesting!!! I'm hooked, I can't get enough of them!! Great KZfaq channel, all round!!

Hi, I went back and rewatched this episode. Great content. I am looking forward to your next journey.

I saw big brother and the holding company before Janus had joined the band, l always liked them ,but it was so distorted. But l still remember it distinctly.The band that really impressed me was the Sons of Champlin.

Loved it...Peace and Love to all the Children of the SIXTIES.....

Great tour of a legendary area ! Great to see 710 Ashbury again along with the other great spots ! Thanks Tim !

Hi Tim! Loved seeing San Francisco! The homes were spectacular and I loved all the shops, I would have a ball shopping!

Some of Jack London's books have remained in print since they were first published in the early 1900s.

My parents took us to Haight and Ashbury in the 60s quite an experience. There was even a duck on a leash.

Excellent as usual 😎😎😎😎

I made my pilgrimage to my spiritual home Haight Ashbury on New Year’s Eve 1988 from Europe and got talking with a guy who invited me to a Grateful Dead “be-in” that very evening. Missed the opportunity to my everlasting regret. Still just being there and soaking up those good vibes was heartening for a confirmed old hippie like me. Jerry and Janis no doubt are spreading the love in an alternate universe somewhere....This is so good so thanks for posting.

Wow man, just found your channel today , great content ! Keep it up !!!

Yes, The Grateful Dead originally called themselves the Warlocks but they changed it because there was another band that was under contract with that name. That other band changed their name eventually to...The Velvet Underground.

Awesome! I love your videos❤️ Thanks!

Love your channel and content. Excellent editing and background music!

Fabulous stuff Tim, very enjoyable and informative, l love all the details you give .

I'm a native SF Person. I live up the hill in Twin Peaks.

I had the weirdest experience in my life 1983 on a New Years Eve Grateful Dead Show at Bill Grahams Civic Auditorium. They had Speakers for the no ticket outside crowd . Heavilyheavenly dosed😁Around midnight I somehow ended up with a couple of deadheads in a pickuptruck driving around SF picking up and delivering big trashbags full of WEED and dropping it of at various places in the Bay Area. There was no traffic anywhere and while time!essly floating on the flatbed Truck, these huge billboard signs did change their messages while we drove by. And these messages appeared to be remote controlled by some aliens who projected your thoughts instantenously onto the billboards. I mentioned this to the other guys and they reckognized the same. So I was shure it was NOT acid induced but sort of a cosmic messaging orchestrated by some entity which hacked the "controlroom" of the intergalactic cosmiccoincidencecontrolcenter. Yeah, SF was veeery special at that time. And in retrospect it makes perfect sense for the Bay Area being the IT hotbed since all the LSD floating around did alter the DNA I am shure! Food for thought anyone?

These videos are so wonderful! Geographical sightseeing of some of the most intriguing and loved musicians of the last 100 years. Thank you so much for your diligence and efforts! Not sure why there aren't hundreds of thousands of people enjoying this???

A 3rd generation San Franciscan? You r a rare jewel!!!! My favorite city in the whole world !

GREAT VIDEO N THANKS FOR SHARING. KENTUCKY U.S.A!

Jerry Garcia played steel pedal guitar on “teach your children “ and in lieu of cash payment Jerry asked CSN to teach the Grateful Dead how to harmonize ,I heard David Crosby tell that story on “deep tracks”

Good stuff. This is my sixth view in a row of your vlogs..Good job..

Cool, I've never seen it this way before, only on the news. Tks. Man !

Thank You Very much! It;s so cool. I dream to be there

Hi from Wales. I was there a few months before this video. Loved it.

Tim I don't know how I missed this video. I remember Patty Hearst being all over the news with SLA. I Miss the 60's soooo much they were not perfect but man growing up in Orange County, CA. I sure had a lot of fun and would go back in the blink of an eye if I could. I guess I'm gonna have to start with your first video and watch them all.

Wow man! cool vid.

My man love your videos! You missed one cool one the world renown Jimi Hendrix!! He lived in a red house hence the name of the song! Also Novato Indian Valley had the Crosby stills Nash and young house, among Steve Miller book of dreams and fly like an eagle up the hill. Sly stone lived there, James Hetfield too lived there for about 14 years too, and Journey.

Your video brought up some great memories! I lived in San Francisco about 15 years. Two years at 1479 Haight street, the rest of the time in various areas, Potrero Hill, Fillmore area and the Mission district. I loved it!

Love your channel brother!

wow deep history... thank U

30 years I lived in Haight Ashbury. :)

sweet tour. so cool the wife hangs with you! It helps when someone knows the area, but you knew where you needed to go. Did not know Sid OD'd there. LOL, Dead....suck or brilliant? The 60's was so trippy....got briiliant after. Please check out the movie Days of Rage if you have AMAZON prime....excellent doc and ties that entire world together. Walked away with some good info. cheers steve

Since you go'ts no New Vidleo's lol I gotta digs through the archive....look forward to your next post colorful people! Rock On Freaks

Looks surprisingly clean.

Best channel on youtube I love what you do!! One day can you vlog where Bobby Fuller died?

4 years back i visited that Amoeba & other spots in that community , i had a great time 😃 !

Another great vid. Have been to a couple of those places in the past. Will defiantly check out some more of your suggestions next trip.

Thankyou. I maybe wrong but I thought 1090 page was demolished

I swear I can smell the jasmine and patchouli all the way to Detroit. Traveled to SF in 74' with a friend and went to a big club called Dance Your Ass Off. Why there,I don't know. While there my friend said "hey,that's Carlos Santana standing there". I went over and said "Carlos?" he said "no, Devadip" I said "Carlos? " and extended my hand and he shook it, he said "Devadip" a second time. I had no clue. I said "I just wanted to shake your hand" and walked away. Later after going up to Mill Valley to visit our "connection" my friend wanted to drive a different route back to Tuscon where we had an apartment for one summer and I wanted to visit my ex girlfriend in Long Beach. We split up and I hitchhiked back along the coast. My longest ride was on the back of a BMW motorcycle. Other than Iggy spitting on my shoe this was my only other brush with R&R greatness.

Another great vlog! Interesting fun facts!! 👏🏻

I lived in SF in the early eighties. Would spend lots of time in the Haight sorting through used record stores and catching the vibe. Great job, Tim! Keep up the great videos and commentary!!

Shout out to Marguerite for showing us around. Thanx!

Always wanted to know what it was like. Thanks!

Fun trip down the street. I would have added the old Haight Ashbury Free Clinic at 558 Clayton St. I would also add this about the Dead, I saw them at Bill Graham's memorial in Golden Gate Park. They backed up ALL the artists who played that day, including Joan Baez, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Jackson Browne, and John Fogerty. I think, Journey, Los Lobos and Santana were there as whole bands so no backup needed. At any rate the Dead didn't miss a beat. They knew what they were doing.

Like your videos. Brings back memories of those years. What is the track playing on the intro?

What's to dislike about this? Great tour! Cheers, from Providence

My dream is to go on a vinyl record spending spree in Haight Ashbury - then on to Doug Weston's. I will do it one day, but I live in the UK !

Thanks again Tim for another great video. The Haight is on my bucket list to visit. Have you ever made a film of CSN&Y? I looked thru the archives on KZfaq and didn’t see any. That would be cool to watch and I know you would do it justice as well. Thanks again

Good video, Hadn't been to Haight since early 1970, until I went to visit my son there in 2018 and 2019. Brought back a lot of great memories.

Beautifully shot. Loved the sid v. Story and the arcade and oh yeah the art show. Would love a Bill Graham Fillmore etc..tour one day. Peace

I live right near there in Cole Valley (which only became separate from Haight Ashbury not too long ago)

Cool video,but you missed Distractions on Haight St.

Hiking4Life is well deserving of 1M subscriber mark. Does anyone else think or host looks like Tony Bourdain’s twin?

Are you ever going to do a tour of Topanga Canyon?

I never made it to the Haight, but there were similar scenes in towns all over the country in the next few years. I remember Atlanta's Peachtree between 10th and 14th, Knoxville's Strip. A similar vibe still exists in Yellow Springs, Ohio. Thanks for the video!

I was there in 1969

13-May-2020.l hate when my menerys are history.

I live in Indiana and will be visiting SF for the first time this coming October. Would you suggest I check out this area?

Just FYI, be sure you don't cross the street on a red light down in L.A. :-)

What about the cole theater???

mill valley high school 4.20

I'm new here so please bear with me. I would imagine you've been told you look like Anthony Bourdain? There... I said it. 🙂 Oh and the video was fun too. The Haight Ashbury neighborhood looks pretty decent actually. The MSM would have us believe that the whole city is under a seige of homeless people.

No mention of Jefferson Airplane?

Great stuff ... love your trips , but Sid Vicious most definetly did not die in the Chelsea hotel

526 Haight street If the public only knew ?

What about the Fillmore/Wintergarden...?

I feel the same way about this guy as he does about the dead i cant tell if he completely sucks or is brilliant for having 2 good woman around

Who would downvote this? Maybe guys who had their hearts broken by Margarite?

Marguerite mentioned the Dead "working with the energy." That would be a great side topic if you happen to know anything. I know that's not really what you do here but we do hear a lot about musicians working with the darkish side, lol. Not me though. Maybe that's why I'm not super rich and famous.

Are you going Peter Green

Went there in the 90’s. It was full of homeless people, filthy and Golden Gate park was as well.

To bad he did not include the hangout of Santana..bummer dude.

@11:00The Grateful Dead "...I can't tell if they really suck or they're really brilliant" This is the first time I've heard someone say something honest about this holy icon of a band. Myself, I like one or two songs from them, but by and large they truly suck. JMHO.

I agree about the Dead - Would they please just come out and ROCK once in a while ? Maybe you have to be a stoner to enjoy it. If so, I can respect that, but I need more intensity out of my music.

Love Pear Jam

Pearl Jam have their place in rock n roll , but do they have anything to do with the Haight ? Not really .

again, another cool fact filled video. i have a lot of friends that love the dead. i just don't get them. what did the deadheads say after the drugs wore off? man this music sucks! gorgeous homes there.

Rebels with Social Security Checks.

No love for Pearl Jam? 😢

Do LA, Give Me A Shoutout😍

JANIS Joplin ( not Janice)

dont think garcia played the steel on 'teach'

Thumbs up #100. FreeGoldWatch. hhmm Right now,as we go through the monetary reset when all fiat currencies that are tied to the fiat Federal Reserve Note (Petro"dollar")collapse there is a junior mining company named Free Gold Ventures that I'm watching that has gone from a nickle at the end of April to just over a buck July 1st.

The shops were never that interesting to me from 1966 to 68 . it was the atmosphere on the street . the bizarre dress and behavior . i was in the Air force at the time and we would come to the Haight to score dope . the street stuff was terrible quality so we got connected to a friend of a friend that was reputable. It also wasn't all love and flowers . one night on our way back toTravis AFB we sat in the panhandle to smoke a doobie before hitchhiking back . suddenly four black dudes came up behind us and put knives to our throats . my buddy threw up his arm , knocking the knife away which startled the other three . i jumped up and ran out of the park only to realize that my buddy was NOT behind me . i ran back and found him fighting with one guy while the others looked on . i ran through the group of three swinging wildly as my buddy threw a trash can at his assailant . oddly enough they ran off . my buddy was so high that he didn't know who i was . it took a few minutes to calm him down before resuming our trip back which got even more bizarre as the night went on. ok, enough of nostalgia on your channel . Sorry. love your videos !

Jimi hendrix???...forget

I’m in my 70s and, really, has it come to this?

The Dead Rule !

You are some 53 years late to the party, I was there for a couple of years off and on starting in 1967, getting things for my friends back in LA. Saw the tour busses going up Haight street with wide eyed people staring out the open windows at us freaks, or were the freaks on the bus? Greatfull Dead is my favorite name for them, I'm glad they are dead, I always said if Jerry could write, play guitar or sing they might be good, there were much better bands from the Bay area Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother, Quicksilver Messenger Service, greatfull dead was only for people too stoned to know
