Three bucks, not too bad

@@zampieritto about $23 now... Still cheap as fuck

Re.ember those times. I was 11years old by 3/30/68. Believe me ,psychedelia was around by 63 -64 just listen to wfil famous 56 philly. Station plsyed some early psych tunes; its and pieces, but it was comming along with Vietnam!

Now you get Electric Moon, The Myrrors, The Spacelords, Ozric Tentacles Some Great newer psychedelic rock that wouldn't have sounded out of place at Woodstock.

Let’s be honest here it was 1967

Without this mind changer none of it would have happened

San Diego Zoo

Yes! Brian Jonestown Massacre embodies this sound! I really enjoy the song "straight up and down" it's a bit older but it's a great one!

Kevin Parker (Tame Impala) brought psych to the mainstream in current times which I have to appreciate

@@mikeexits Hell yeah Lonerism deadass represents 60s psychedelic my favorite album of the 10s decade

lol revival

Check out (Les) Claypool-Lennon (Sean) Delerium. New album South of Reality is great. Terrific live too.

Thank you for saying that about the mixture of black and Indian and white music. This is one in the eye for all the activists that are always claiming racial prejudice has always been present in the West.

Me, too!! BEST music ever made!! The gift that keeps on giving!! Listen to it over and over again and you find something new in it almost every time..

Well, I wouldn't say SUPER informative but a bit helpful.

@@RedVynil This video was lacking in the in depth of the genres of the psych tunes that go back to evan earlier years . 1963 to early 1967 saw a plethora of garage , punk , psych music back in the 60s! Very intetesting history , and very intrigueing to look into.

​@@hugbug4408 I know. I only started consciously building my psych collection in the mid to late 80's and I've got hundreds of hours of really good psych and nearly all of it came from that VERY short window of time: 1965/6 to 1969/70. In fact, psych was already dying by mid `68. I'm AMAZED at how much great psych there was back then as compared to the VERY limited amount we were "allowed" to listen to back then! Sure, I was into psych back when it was actually happening but, to me, it was just the most modern form of music around. I'm not even sure if we relegated it to any sub-genres, it was just rock as it stands to this (that) day. However, I've never considered garage to be psych! I like garage but, if I want to buy a compilation of psych, it better damn well be PSYCH and NOT garage!! Problem is, so many comps ARE just garage! Sure, there's a few garage records that ARE psych or garage bands that bend into the psych spectrum but, in most cases, garage is garage and psych is psych and never the twain shall meet. As for punk, there WAS NO SUCH THING until the late `70's! If people that kept calling that stuff from the mid `60's, "punk", KNEW what punk was all about and the kind of music it was, they'd know better than to call anything from before the late `70's, "punk". Outside of the first Stooges album in `69/`70, punk did NOT exist. And, even THAT album still wasn't called punk! I played my copy once, hated it and never played it again!! About 17 years later, I traded it to my bass player, who WAS a punker, for a new Savoy Brown album he had! So far, I've never played that more than once, either but, it's better than The Stooges album. NOBODY in the `60's called it punk and there WAS no such genre until, as I've said, the late `70's. Punkers HATED hippies and psych and tried to distance themselves from that era as much as possible! Just because some kid in `65 had a bad attitude and snarled his vocals on his records back then doesn't mean it was punk. It fell into the garage category. I lived through the entire `60's and some of the `50's and started collecting records when I was 2 (I have about 54,000, now) so, I should know what was what from back then. There was another dissertation on psych here by a German guy, a 15 part series. It was mostly pretty good and interesting until it got up to the late `80's where, from then onwards, he tried to assimilate the psych of the `60's with the punk, disco, and trance (disco II) of the last 40-some years. I watched the entire series, several hours long but, I could've easily stopped by the time he got to the mid `70's!! It had very little to do with the actual psych era from that point onwards. You might like it because it actually goes way back to the pre-psych era of at least the `50 jazz era if not the big band jazz era of the late `40's and shows how that era lead up to/into the psych era, courtesy of the beat poets and the onset of LSD use OF those people. There are so many people on YT posting psych comps but, of the bulk of them I've heard, with each being at least an hour long, nearly all bore me because they mostly focus on the most plebean of psych out there (whatever radio afforded us back then) or they add stuff that I'd NEVER in my WILDEST DREAMS call psych!! The thing I tend to hate about American psych is that, apparently, all you needed to make a psych record over here was a fuzzy guitar and someone bizarre lyrics! If you take enough acid, even Lawrence Welk is psych!! I'd rather depend on the MUSIC to take me on those trips!!

@@RedVynil You've pretty much nailed it in your thesis of garage , punk , psych . You're very informative in your writing on the topic ! I'm sort of into the pre- psych or early psych , and stating about the start of psych sounds to the 40s , I would say earlier than that. I saw on U Tube the history of the pysychedelia by a narrator who seem to have a Russian accent. Maybe it's the same guy you thought had a German accent.

@@hugbug4408 Thank you! i didn't intend for it to turn out to be that long but, music IS my life and, sometimes, I CAN go on about it. Glad you liked it. I would say that true start of psych was from surf records. Not the stuff The Beach Boys, Frankie Avalon and Annette Funnicello were doing but, the mostly instrumental guitar surf. Although, I wouldn't call it psych or surf, more likely electronic, it's SLIGHTLY POSSIBLE that the first psych record would be "Telstar" by, The Tornadoes (the British or were they German (?)) band, not the American one. But, there WAS a non-psych record that actually, though accidentally, used the psych staple of phase shifting most of the way through the song and that came out in the late `50's. "The Big Hurt" by Toni Fisher. Her label, Signet Records, was owned by her husband and, while recording the vocals for that song, he wanted to make them fuller so, he doubled them by just running them side by side down to the master version and, because the two tape machines he was using to copy them over from ran at an incredibly slightly different speed, they got that phase shifting effect! They liked this happy accident and left it that way on the record. I wouldn't exactly say the music of the `40's was psych but, some of it was certainly experimental! Some songs made use of the Therimin, for instance and there was a song by Kaye Kyser (I think) where the singer (they called him, Sully) used these two electronic things on his hands pressed up to his throat when he sang so it sounded like he was actually using a voice bag which Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton made famous in the mid `70's on songs like, "Rocky Mountain Way" and "Do You Feel Like We Do?". The same device also allowed Sully to "broadcast" his voice to instuments being played across the room; like, the trumpet, or the violin, etc.. I have no idea how it works and I only saw it once about 20 years ago. Whatever these devices are, they were originally devised to give people who no longer have a voice box the ability to "speak" If the video you're talking about was a 15-part series lasting at least 10 hours, that's the one. But, that didn't sound Russian, to me. If it wasn't German, I'd venture to guess it was Swedish, Norwegian or something else from that general region. Robert Easton could tell us which accent it was! Shit!! Looks like he died 10 years ago!

Absolutely. The Doors were very much part of this music scene in the 60's - I am amazed they weren't featured.

Come on babe Light my Fire 🔥

Hug Bug. One of my favourites from that era is The Incredible String Band.

Some of those bands were quite well known and are still selling records. Others are obscure for a reason.

Syd Barrett and Pink Floyd were ahead of all these bands, chronologically and musically in the psychedelic arena. But all they were able put out before Syd's demise was Piper at the Gates of Dawn and a handful of singles; Arnold Layne, (with terrific B-side "Candy and a Currant Bun), See Emily Play, Flaming, Apples and Oranges (with killer B-side "Paint Box) and Bike. Surprisingly, the Barrett-led Floyd, known then as The Pink Floyd, started out as an R&B band, with those tunes found on the Cambridge Series. The mind-expanding live jam of "Interstellar Overdrive" from the UFO Club in 66 can be found on KZfaq and other documentaries. It was Syd in full bloom with many star rockers at the gig, like Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Brian Jones and even Yoko, who did not know Paul or John at the time. What a magical time to grow up.

13th Floor Elevators!😁👍

Imho it is a shame you became a missionary after all those great experiences.

@@davidlamb7524 - What a shallow comment.

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) predates that song.

@@aestheticaltwat It isn't a psychedelic song.

The 13th Floor Elevators were the original psychedelic band. Listen to "The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators", (International Artists).

Even though it was released a few months later (or more... the first version of "Eight Miles High" is perhaps from a year earlier), I believe that "Tomorrow never knows" has many reasons - in terms of content and innovation - to be considered the essential piece in the start of psychedelia. ("Eight Miles High" it's a great great song). ^^

13th Floor Elevators, the original psychedelic band.

Awesome.

Tell that to the companies that own the music.

But was never widely heard like Sgt Pepper!

@@catofthecastle1681 Wonder why? I guess name carries the day. But, this is so 66,67ish just by listening to melody.

The Velvet Underground & Nico is a widely revered psychedelic album

YES!!!

I thought she was going to mention free jazz.

I assume: copyright issues

I dont think that instrument was a Theremin, pretty sure it was a lap steel.

The instrument is actually an Electro-Theremin. It does look somewhat like a lap steel. You don't actually touch a real theremin; it has two antennas that control volume and pitch. The Electro-Theremin you had to physically touch to control volume and pitch.

see my friends by the kinks was in 1965

It's a pretty short video. Describing the 60s would take a while.

Obviously.

@@rogbrown1458 it was a time when items was flowing in on a people that in a way didn't see it coming, and before you knew it, people was pulled in to a new type of life style. Maybe I'm not able to explain it well.. It was just different. Thanks.

@@michaelclendenen4005 hi. Many will not have remembered the 60s either through lack of age or being intoxicated or on various substances throughout that whole period. Being in my 70s and not participating to any great degree I remember that era affectionately most of all for the music of which the obscurities were in many cases superior to the chart hits. Good times all round. Pity the snowflake generation of today weren't able to witness it first hand. I rest my case. Stay safe. Rog. Pacific sunset records .

Michael Clendenen. So it wasn't mind expanding or illuminating for you? I remember and cherish every moment, it was a gas gas gas :)

Who remember the 60s , are only people who did not use drugs at that time .✌😎

Angelfire 451 - She didn't miss it, you did. It's mentioned at 3:40 minutes.

Yes, we can thank the mafia music companies.

It's due to their copyright stranglehold on us masses. How dare we create content they've shown a million times on TV.

@@kybertal yeah, definetly a 12 year kids old production

@@kybertal One of the cooler things about digital media is that it is easy to update and upgrade. Call this version 1.0 and maybe build upon it and do a more comprehensive version 2.0 for a summer project that includes the neo-psychedelic movement in music. In any event, the video is nicely polished, looks and feels like a pro operation. Expand it and you could have a future in media production. Best to you.

13th Floor Elevators

And the Magic Mountain Festival a week before Monterey?

Also for people that lives in a noisy street.

The counterculture never suffered a death knell. We just found ourselves forced to adapt to an adverse and hostile establishment that demanded conformity from their wage slaves as we developed more ways of integration and agenda advancement. I can cite very many numerous examples of my theory's validity, should we care to discuss the matter further.

Beatles were a boy band. But they did 2 or3 pscychadelix albums

The Beatles invented phycadelic rock with the album Revolver....get your story straight Dong

@@zampieritto You really have no context! You don’t know what you’re talking about!

@@josephguerra703 Revolver was in 1966. Mothers Of Invention recorded "Freak Out" in 1965.

The Beatles had massive influence on the hippie generation especially with the song "All you need is Love" which became an hippie anthem.

So true. Rog.pacific sunset records.

Tommy Hall, of the 13th Floor Elevators, was the first one to describe their music as psychedelic rock. Listen to their first album.

@@kentyner1749 Again there is no such thing as Psychedelic Rock! Your telling me a guy born In The 1990’s, if not later, Is going to name a genre of music that was created in the 1960’s, spare me… I’m sorry you weren’t around then, doesn’t mean you or anybody today can lay claim to a style of music that was created 30 years before they were born.

@@bradhansen2065 I'm sorry you're not familiar with the "Elevators". Tommy Hall was born in 1943, and was a founding member of the band in 1965. He was also a pharmacology major at the University of Texas, and somewhat of an authority. Their first album was titled "The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators" (International Artists,1966). Do your homework. Google the first psychedelic band.

BTW, I'm 70+ yrs. old. My friends called it psychedelic rock simply because "Acid Rock" was not acceptable language in front of Mom & Dad.

Nice to be noticed bye

Kindred spirits are hard to find....peace
