"I like to put them in a high, but i feel cheated when they are already high". Hahaha
hahaha, gold
What a cool guy. Ravi Shankar will definitely go down as one of the greatest musicians of all time!
He is in the list
The greatest....period.
Classical Indian music is beautiful in itself, no drugs needed. 👳
@P N yes very much unlike the greatful dead. You need to be legless to sit through one of their awful tracks.
Yo
Amen, brother!

@@namaste91 no. You can't judge anyone, certainly not John Lennon
@@BeatlesFan1975 What's this? One can easily observe certain realities and facts which naturally lead to certain conclusions, even though it was clearly undertaken with humor in the above comment. Many expressions and opinions are partly based on a person living in a FREE SOCIETY to utilize their own outlook and the manner in which they relate their ideas and concerns to others. Something which you are wholeheartedly disagreeing with here. Understand, while you may not appreciate that, using sarcasm is not necessarily a qualification for harshly judging someone; your supposedly moralistic condemnation originates from your limiting observable viewpoint. With those types of authoritative statements, basically ordering people that 'you can't judge anyone' or remotely criticize anything negative about them, you are attempting to coerce others to fall into your own trap by making your own hypocritical judgements on their behavior as well. Normally, people make minor decisions with critical thinking all the time, and surely it would be a less orderly or interesting world if it were avoided altogether. In other words, look to your own backyard. Sorry for the diatribe, but I get sick of these unfair random attacks on someone's integrity. How about, there is no such sentence as 'no.' That is a constructive criticism whether you like it or not.
That tie is the size of another shirt
Rest in peace Shankar sir
Entertaining interview. A real time capsule.
I know this is just a slice of the times, but it is amazing to think of this interview within the context of today's talk shows...
What an interesting time to be young....
Would have loved to be young when the Beatles were popular
He would have been 100 years old this year
Imagine the raga class with everyone constantly checking their phones.
Your imagination is far from the real thing.
Ravi lived in my hometown Encinitas Ca . George would come to Encinitas to visit Ravi .
What is your personal experience with the music of Ravi
Ravi Shankar's music has divine energy.
Today I got to know that He could sing as well 😳😳
Boom
Of course he could. Most all indian classical music artists get some kind of vocal training, it's essential in a way.
I feel as if the reason why they’re intertwined with eachother is because a lot of Indian culture involves the soul (if im not mistaken), and drugs are sometimes considered to be a journey into the “inner soul”.
Great musicians! Fantastic!
Random Kalamazoo shout-out from Ravi. Sweet!
George Harrison said he felt that Ravi was the best musician on the planet.No wonder he looked at western pop music as a joke.
Only a different type of music - yet not to the extreme extent of most awful rap with its juvenile sounds, pretentious attitudes and criminal associations. Of course, as he was well aware, a large part of Shankar's fame was achieved through his connection with popular pop and rock musicians.
I was at the Concert for BanglaDesh...what an incredible concert for such a good cause at that time.
I can relate to what he is saying about having a clear mind when you go into the concert as for sure you will be high when you come out. I have experienced this after several of Ravi's concerts and it is for real. Ron Jones.
I have seen a photograph of Shankar, Peter Sellers and George at a Disneyland closed down just for them - surely in exchange for lots of $$.
Ravi may have been anti-drug but he wasn't anti-fun and he wasn't really anti-materialism, I don't think.
My mom had East Meets West which I played constantly - great music from a great artist. Astounding virtuosity.
Wow.. great time 🎵🌹🌹🧿🧿
My grandfather ravi Shankar
That looks like the clifftop at Esalen. [Edit: Yes Ravi confirms this - from the film "Raga"]
I've always associates indian music with very long car rides. my parents came to the usa with a case of bollywood tapes. when we lose local stations they got to play their indian tapes.
Gold ❤
Guruji Indian music needs you
Great Shankar
¡¡With Paco!!
Funny how the Western ignorance and shallowness always tries to bring everything down to the carnal "pleasure" of drugs and sex, and music as entertainment. When the music such as that of the sitar and of the hindustani classical music itself is one of the most refined, ancient and complex forms of art the world has ever seen. Each tune being a sound closest to god. It's much more beautiful than getting high, it's transcendence...a prayer of the universe.
God lol.feck GwOD
The thing is, when it comes to the "drug" connection, they're mostly referring to psychedelics which themselves can provide a very deep and spiritual experience. There are new connections in the mind formed and much introspection, making for what can most certainly be a transcendental experience.
Psychedelics such as mushrooms and ayahuasca have been used by various cultures for thousands of years, and are very different from typical drugs. They aren't about carnal pleasure, but a way of getting in touch with ones own soul, and that's why their experiences are often paired with spiritual and transcendental music.
Whatever
@@BeatlesFan1975 shhhh
@@supraguy4694 They can be used in both ways.
He is enlightened already no need to get high
This video is just one year prior to SHOLAY released in 1972. THINK about it
This was in 1971
awakened soul..so ahead of time
49 years ago wow
I have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like the other videos on YT.
India's culture leads to Almighty! Hail To India!
did ravi play the one sitar all his life?
HIndustani music itself is intoxicating. No chemicals should Ever be added.
Timothy Leary and other folks had NO LANGUAGE to describe the ""psychedelic experience". And, in order to supplement the deficiencies of standard English, they looked up words in other languages, especially Hindic. Probably, they got the meanings wrong....
Is it just me or is Alan watts sitting in the back of that video clip
We all know Watts never experienced hallucinogens. Lol.
The one dislike might be from a EDM person
the beatles too were considered shallow musicians in their time, you dont have to put another genre down to respect some other
Indian music is very well respected among electronic musicians
@@rebruisinginart2419 they were not lol, where did you get that misinformation lol?
@rebruisinginart2419 But he’s right untalented crap is untalented crap anybody can push a few buttons these days and call it music to each their own sure but edm is terrible no thought process whatsoever at least the Beatles play actual instruments
Cool video but what's the deal with the date of this not shown?
It would be around 71
The date is in the description.
November 23 1971 its in video description
@@beatlefan713 It didn't show the date when I first watched this.
November 1971
I get disgusted when westerners think the sitar is a drug thing . This ancient instrument is thousands of years old played by a goddess.
Is that goddess saraswati? cos if she is, then my friend you are wrong saraswati veena and sitar are two different instruments...just research a bit...
Saraswati Maa sits with the South Indian VEENA, NEVER a sitar. The sitar, in its present form, is less than 2 centuries old !!!
@@tripmonk0 sitar is not that modern
It is from medivial times
Thats ok I dont like the music to begin with goddess or no goddess
Ravi Shankar is Norah Jones' Dad.
i think probably...sitar music is more about hindu mysticism...or the idea of the infinite etc..so on...
Am I the only one who feels some kind of rudeness in interviewer’s style of asking questions?
That was dick yeah raw and crude
I'm surprised but absolutely. I believe Cavett plays an instrument and is knowledgeable about music.
Ahem it was 1971 before all you woke ppl were born get over yourselves alrdy
He was being honest in what he thinks.
I don’t think it was his intent to be rude, but he was too eager to ask ignorant questions with the aim of keeping the discussion moving, rather than listen to Ravi and George, and learn about why they made the Raga film, and what they hoped to accomplish by sharing it. If he had truly listened and expounded upon what was shared, it would have been a more fruitful interview.
Who is this George?
HARRISON otherwise known as ´Beatle George´.
Jeej
I'll pray for you
he was a member of a british boy band called the spice boys
@@funfcaliforniamaki4591 😂👍👍
Honestly I didn't know that George was a devote cocainomane, acid and alcohol user. I imagined that he used lsd but the rest no. He even got hepatitis!
Why you need drugs.. when indian classical music is playing you already close to almighty
Obviously you have never experienced both or you wouldn't have asked.
The interviewer is being a real jerk all throughout the interview. Ravi shankar did really well replying with tact and calmness
I mean come on, his name is Dick!
No he wasnt he was doing his job which was ? Geez dude lighten up different time different place hold up on the SJ diatribe
Dick was fine
Indian music associated with drugs? dude, then what about all the heavy stuff that plays in the west? Hindu kush or hindu music?
