All that love, all that gentle humor and compassion, all our work an determination to make the world a better place for everyone all those years ago. Did it matter at all? I look at the world around us and I wonder. I'm in my 80s now but I still have that desire for that world of harmony and understanding.

My mother, Nada Simić, was the leading star of 'HAIR' in former Yugoslavia, current day Serbia, between 1969-73. She led the opening for each song - for 'Aquarius', they had her in a meditation pose, with flowers in her hair, pouring her heart and soul into each rhythm and beat. We attended the 50th anniversary of the musical last year in May, here in Australia. Not only were we both brought to tears by the phenomenal performance, but I got to experience, for those 2 hours, what a glimpse of life was like half a century ago. I felt a spiritual presence take me over, as I was incredibly moved by the elements of my mother's life and how humanity, as a whole, lived and breathed in harmony throughout that period in history. Greetings from my mother and I in Australia - she still sings to this day and she's almost 70 years old!

Best musical Best song Best scene BEST CHOREOGRAPHY Best costumes Best message Best ideas Best cinema Thank you! Never gets old!

This entire scene is absolutely amazing and for me the two people dancing with the horses is the best part.

That lady with the flowers in her hair is singing the hell outta that song!!!

One of the BEST opening scenes ever!

im 19 and watched this film for the first time two days ago, I was left with one dramatic tear down my face and a dropped jaw at the end of the film. I was aware of it growing up as my mum had the dvd but i never paid much attention to it and thought it looked weird, but my choir did this song and i thought you know what this is actually a banger so i asked her if we could watch the film together. She is Czech and remembers seeing this film in the secret screenings there when it was released so has a strong connection to it. Im glad i waited so long to see it because i can apreciate it so much more. Such a brilliant film, genuniely in my top 5 and i wish i had friends that would want to enjoy it with me and apreciate everything about it, contemplate the meanings, enjoy the songs, etc.

Being born under the sign of Aquarius (Jan 21, 45) and being of the sixties generation this song has special meaning for me. I was born in Denmark, grew up 30 miles south of Copenhagen, came to the US in January 67 as an au pair in Westport Ct. Lived in Westport 67 and 68, then after a few month back in my native country came back to the US, and move with friends to New York CIty. I remember the cast of "Hair" giving a free concert in Central Park, sometime in 69, in 71 when I had moved to New Orleans with my then boyfriend we went and saw the whole musical. Still love the songs, and still remember the vibes from that era. It was the best of times i.e, music, freedom etc. it was the worst of times i.e. the Vietnam war the assassinations JFK, MLK and last, but not least RFK.

This was absolutely the most beautiful thing I've seen in a long time. Her voice is so powerful and the dancers movements were both chaotic and soothing - so perfect with her voice.

I loved the horses! Their prancing was adorable. 😄😍

This movie was released in 1979, maybe a dozen years or so past the period it depicts, but this amazing opening sequence really captures that moment of cultural joy, hope and youthful defiance. How many times did I go to see this movie just to revel in this soul-lifting song and singer Ren Woods's jubilant declaration, not to mention Twyla Tharp's quirky, inventive choreography. Kudos as well to director Milos Forman, who did the impossible in bringing this groundbreaking musical to film.

Still LOVE this.... after all these years....

This film is what I believe is referred to as a timeless masterpiece...Everything came together beautifully. Thank you to everyone involved...I can't wait to have kids so I can make them watch it.

We dealt with a lot of problems in the 1960s and came out a better society. Today, we deal with problems and they get worse. The age of Aquarius was replaced by the age of greed. We advanced, but we really should go back.

Still enjoying in 2024 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉

Rest in peace, Treat Williams.

i have never cried so hard at the end of any movie like i cried at this one heart breaking such a good movie and this song is so moving

When she goes "And the mind's true liberation" I am getting shiver and goose bumps all over my body. The shift is definitely happening for me right NOW.

This voice is timelessly impressive!

My mother had the original cast recording LP of this from 1968 and I played it to death as a child in the 80s. I saw the 50th anniversary live tour just yesterday. Absolutely amazing, and still relevant today.

Choreographed by Twyla Tharp. I love the horses - brilliant.

I remember seeing this when i was 17. We smoked a joint and kicked back for the ride. When the shot of Renn Woods hit the screen my jaw dropped, and I stopped breathing for what seemed like the whole number. What a great movie (play). It still breaks my heart that the U.S. is quicker to war now than we were then.

I love the dancing in this movie, and the music, it's beautiful. Art in it's truest form.

I remember watching this movie when I was college senior during '79-80, after hearing about it from an Assistant Dean of Student Affairs. His recommendation that I see it was spot-on, with wonderful songs and dancing from the ensemble, which features actors John Savage and Treat Williams. These actors aren't associated with music but more with action and drama movies. That said, this movie using songs from the Broadway stage musical, clearly shows that the actors can demonstrate a range of vocal and dancing abilities that aren't always apparent, especially from action movie fans like me. Thank you, KZfaq, for making this movie available to us KZfaq viewers.

I toured in a Broadway version of the film in 1980. It was so much fun to do. This was a great way to open the film.

Milos Forman-RIP....Great director....He also directed "Taking off" and "Amadeus" about Mozart's life

it's 2023 and i still love this movie forever and always.

I have always loved this song, but this rendition by Ren Wood gave me goosebumps. Beautiful!!

I was an extra in the movie Hair in Central Park. We dressed like hippies for the acid trip scene. I think we were 15. And got paid $25 a day from Central Casting - but no free lunch cause we weren't SAG members.

Her voice has the power to touch higher feelings in my self. It is like a pray.

Love the "Hair" soundtrack!!!🤩😍

RIP Treat Williams. I had a big crush on him from this movie!

The only part of the film which I liked: the departure of a countryside boy to the big city. Father's comforting his son and wish goodluck, morning scenery along the way, and there finally the sight of The Big Apple. This is one of the best intro I've ever seen. So many of us can relate to that.

One of the best musicals ever made. Influenced me in so many ways.

I just hope that my future children will be as amazed by this movie/musical as I was when my parents showed it to me! Unfortunately the issues are still relevant… But I love this movie and its message with all of my heart!

This movie will live in my heart forever , soooo well done - fantastic music , fantastic story , characters - I just love it so much ❤❤❤

RIP James Rado. I saw this film when I was about 13 and it amazed me. The music still holds up and expresses some ideas that have inspired the world. Oh, and her vocals are top-notch.

"Wodnik" to piosenka rozpoczynająca musical " Hair" - według mnie musical wszech czasów. Okres wojny w Wietnamie, lata hipisów i przyjaźni, jaką teraz trudno uświadczyć. Cieszę się, że moja młodość mijała właśnie wtedy.

God Speed Treat Williams. Enjoy Heaven, you will be forever remembered and missed. ☮🕊

DIO MIO, "HAIR".... CHE FILM!!!!! Il Film sul FENOMENO degli Hyppies e dei Figli dei Fiori ed ANCHE dell'AMORE LIBERO senza vincoli!!!!!!!

BEAUTIFUL SONG &SINGER..THANKS!!

This always sends chills down my spine, and they increase in intensity when she points to the sky.

RIP James Rado. Thanks for this timeless musical.

Renn Woods singing Aquarius; my favorite version of all!!!!

One of the greatest musicals, greatest films of all-time. It's a magnificent arrangement of songs and the performances are pretty amazing also. I get shivers down my back every time I see it. And the film locations in NYC's Central Park are classics.

Listening to this song, I always wished I had been born 10 years earlier. Strange but true. I love the music of the late 60s and early 70s. Doors and Pink Floyd and Hendrix..

This is the age of Aquarius! This is the great awakening! I love you all, happy 21 december!🌟🌠⭐🌞🌈

Aquarius is 1 Of my all time fav songs. When I was in High School all 4 years I did theater & my freshman year we did the musical Hair & I was cast as Claude the main character & this was in 1987. There was so much controversy over a high school doing this play. We were on all the local new channels & in all the news papers & parents of the school were trying to stop it from being put on my parents like my mom & dad fought for us. We simulated smoking joints on stage, they used rolling papers & put tobacco in them & they were really lit & we were smoking them & 1 scene (In the real broadway show the woman is nude) & when we did this scene the girl was in a flesh colored bodysuit & in the audience she really looked nude. We’re supposed put on 15 shows & with all the controversy we sold out every show & we ended up extending it to 20 shows because of the demand for people wanting to see it & the governor of our state came twice because he loved it so much. This was 1 Of my all time fav plays I did. We did 2 shows a year in my High School so I did 8 shows in my 4 yrs if high school. All the music in hair is incredible.

The horses are amazing!

I went to the live performance at Yale University in 1972, It was the greatest. My daughter was born that September, the beginning of the age of AQUARIUS.

Ren Woods, what a gorgeous singer and actress!♥️

Musical meraviglioso!inno potente contro tutti le guerre il valore dell'amicizia sincera....tanti messaggi racchiusi dalla pace all'amore semplice...bello...capolavoro!@

I watched this movie in 2.001 on cable tv, in Chile , when I was 30. It moved me! I was optimistic about the age that started in 2012. Now in 2022, I was disappointed in humanity for the war in Ukraine and the political crisis in my country. But it gives me hope the way this movie touched the hearts of people of different generations and from different countries. I wish we have peace on earth soon!

I've played this so much! I loved the cast album when I was a kid in the 70's. I'm glad that's on KZfaq too. Me and my friend Eileen used too skip school and listen to it. We wished we were around in the 60's so bad. (We were, but we were toddlers)!!!!

Zawsze mam ciarki na skórze, jak zaczyna się ta melodia !!! ❤❤❤ Nie wiem ile już razy widzialam to absolutne "dzieło" i chcę go oglądać do końca mych dni !!!❤❤❤😊😊😊

07/06/2024 Brasil. Amo essa música. Todas as versões. Sou de uma geração que ama música bem feita.Obrigada a quem postou essa maravilha 🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

Wow -- many people don't realize what a blend of great talent came together. Twyla Tharp's choreography was inspired! And I always loved the orchestration of this passage!

I don't think a lot of people really understand the powefull message they're sending in the lyrics, chorégraphy...this is a deep spiritual vidéo clip...and i Can fell my inner cosmos shaking everytime i'm listening to this song

Happy age of Aquarius everybody!!

❤Thanks, Miloš Forman for your great movie

Literally has me in tears June 2020 love it!

This is one of those songs that always give me chills when I hear it.

one of my all time favorite musicals! This is a Broadway play, turned movie done right!

This is actually one of my favorite movies. A cult classic. Hope it never gets remade, perfect the way it is. And if you've not seen this movie, make a point to.

Ren Woods is such an amzingly talented performer. How she didn't make it bigger is beyond me.

Fab voice, no autotuner or any hi-tech jiggery-pokery - just plain American talent.

Such a funky beat rendition of "Aquarius."

One of the most beautiful songs ever made….

best choregraphy with great music arrangement

Horses' dancing is gem!

what a great music is this, love the film and the musical....

On March 20th, 2020 at 2pm in India, "the moon was in the 7th house and Jupiter aligned with Mars". The coronavirus made everybody aware that our way of life has to change so let the New Age begin :-).

Every time those horses start "dancin" I get so happy

I saw this movie when I was 16 back in 1979 and loved it, but the hippie in me didn't start to come out until the very first time I heard Janis Joplin sing back in 1987. Today, 60's music is almost all I listen to, especially 1965-1973 :)

Beautiful film and song 🌹🌻🌹🌸💮💐🌻🌼

It's a throw back to 1968,,,from 79..it's a gem of music Theatre...the film tone ,,the warm film could be a live view of real people in ancient Pompeii sunlight,,and her Aquarius voice very mature woman...it's even grodie,,like it smells

Life is a journey so be kind to those who get on your bus.

I can't stop listening, this is so beautiful and peacful and hopeful, I love it

I went to 50th year anniversary of Hair in Australia too. Drove a long way to get to theatre. I first saw it live in a theatre in Kings Cross in Sydney when I was about 20. A good Catholic girl I was shocked by the nude scene at end of Act 1. Now in my 70s i wish it would come back as a version starring old people and I would gladly get my gear off for that.

I was in the 6th Grade when the 5th Dimension version of Aquarius came out. I liked it, and it was the only version I knew about for a while. But when I heard/watched this version, everything changed. When I hear Renn Woods sing it, I believe it. Every Single Time

We need a whole new set of Hippies today....where's the love , where's the good message and examples of love like there was back in the days of the "Hippie" movement!

Mir i ljubav. Obožavam Hair :)

Eita !!!saudade eu grávida, assisti esse filme 16 vezes kkkkkkkkkkkk época massa.40 anos atrás minha juventude amo tudo isso.

LOL I just saw a Polestar 3 commercial with this song so I had to come back & listen again

l've seen this movie when i was teenager n it's stay in my brain !!! really fabulous movie !!

My god. That voice.

I love the theatrics, dances and songs of this movie. So creative🦋.

More prevalent than ever in these troubles times. The age of the aquarius.

I guess we all believed in a better world once.

I always thought the bit with the two dancers dancing with the police horses was pretty brilliant.

Dec 21 2020 -- It's today we enter the Age of Aquarius (as they call it).

I saw they play 7 times in Milwaukee in the early 70's. First time I did not want to go. Then I could not get enough.

Fun fact: "let the sunshine in " was added to the song by The Fifth Dimension for their cover version of the song. Every performance of the musical afterwards also included that part to "Age of Aquarius".

this is one of my favorite songs!!!

One of the best ever of musical 🎼... and that song is masterpiece 👌

i was a young soldir 19 years of age whan i saw this great movie it made me cry and i wanted to defect from the army.it still makes me emotionall love this music

Great Video! Great opening! Thanks for posting. The original "Occupy Wallstreet!" Yes, Impossible not to love the hippies. What a cool scene, so well choreographed (twyla tharp) with the hippies weaving down the hillside in mottled garb and all the mottled autumn leaves on the ground. What a voice on the singer. Makes me want to believe in something.

Glorious. I wonder whether it's auspicious that I was born an Aquarian. The world has sure moved closer to my spiritual viewpoint over the past five decades. : { ]

Бог да ви благослови всички наши деца, родени през епохата на Водолея!

This is still a good movie after so many years❤
