29:57 “RONALD REAGAN? THE ACTOR?” im so glad i caught that reference
I was playing in a integrated rock / soul band in Mississippi in the late 60s. This is when I came of age.
A good time to come of age!
The post Elanor Rigby / psychedelic movement sent music down the good timeline. Couldn't imagine if we stuck with the bubblegum pop rock of the early 60s that all sounded the saaaaame.
Well black music continued to develop in either “timeline”
The 60's were culturally such a revolutionary decade you can see images of the beginning of the decade and compare it to the late 60's and you tell the difference. Everything changed, the fashion, the style, the music, the behavior. Those were very exciting and truely revolutionary years.
The rapid music development from 1964 to 1965 is dramatic. The psychedelic movement changed everything. All in one or two years.
THE CIA HAD A DRUG FIELD DAY.
@@justthink5854 And Timothy Leary was their paid guru.
@@2degucitas true. the beauty of the music in the 60's is that there was so much of it with such incredible talent and that it had an outlet. rock, rock n roll, country rock, rock a billy, but also show tunes, big band, folk, country, electric folk, world, southern rock, soul, motown, classic crooners, jazz, all in the mix with a backdrop of killings, Nam and drugs and sex. with a base of the poor slobs who lived through the great depression, and ww2 who made the incredible prosperity they were all rebelling against. of course LBJ used that up in Nam. the best of times. the worst of times.
And in 1966.... The Beatles released Revolver
Tomorrow Never Knows. That's when the freak flag was unfurled.
Them: Man.. You'll NEVER do the, "Ed Sullivan" show!!!
Jim Morrison: Man..We just DID the Ed Sullivan show...
Legend 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
God, i LOVE the doors! They're such a unique mix of sounds and themes, and Jim Morrison is just something else, man.
There'll never be another decade like the sixties, truly had the best music ever. Everything from the British Invasion and Motown to psychedelia and prog rock. ✌💜
Janis was a very powerful, beautiful, soulful singer. I can feel a lot of emotion went on her last album and I related to her with how lonely she felt and depressed. She's still remembered after 52 years of her death.
The highlights of the decade were the Beatles : Sgt. Pepper`s Lonely Hearts Club Band, the Rolling Stones : Sticky Fingers, The Who Rockoper Tommy , the Doors, Led Zeppelin, the Beach Boys : Pet Sounds, the Byrds, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, Frank
Zappa and many many more that will never be forgotten like Jimi Hendrix... J.J.
Sticky Fingers was 1971, great album nonetheless.
Can we just appreciate how the three of them are getting closer and closer as time goes on? Like, they are each learning to tolerate one another. It’s just another example of how music brings us together
I've got an oral exam tomorrow and I decided to do it on the history of rock. If it wasn't for these videos I would be screwed. Thank you very much.
Am I the only one who likes the fashion of these times ?
The velvet , the jeans , the jackets
I forgot about all the velvet 😂
1. Get back from work
2. Get ready
3. Roll big fat joint
4. Sit comfortably
5. Light it up
6. Watch "the 60's part 2" again
That is what I did when I came to see this
Exceptional production--JT Curtis' History of 90s Rock--cleverly designed, expertly edited, w amazing clips. A flat out shame it has relatively few views. This should be network television.
Spread the word friend!
@@JTCurtisMusicI
That costume change but at 6:58 made me laugh for a solid minute
The Beatles and Hendrix r the greatest thing to ever happen to music... I love all 60s music but the Beatles and Hendrix r why i started playing instruments and writing music.
No argument here 👍
And Pink Floyd
Jimi Hendrix blew away the Brits!
Hendrix and Led Zeppelin!
It's 00:12am. Fuck it. I've been waiting for this for too long
Marcus Aldred I agree
Did you mention The Animals house of the rising sun English rock band, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in the early 1960s with Eric Burdon amazing voice and Alan Price amazing keyboard playing
It was originally in the first episode but due to a copyright claim I was forced to cut it out of the video - which is so stupid because now The Animals are not represented in this series.
@@JTCurtisMusic i personally like Eric Burdon and war blues - I think ive got most of them
1:00 - Grace Slick wrote and performed White Rabbit in her first band the Great Society.
grace didn’t write it, i forgot which one but either her husband or brother in law wrote it, the other wrote somebody to love. Jerry slick was her husband, Darby was her brother in law
What i like the most about these videos, is the fact that i can expand my spotify playlist constantly with songs that were included in these videos. White room and I feel free from cream, a bit of otis redding and wilson pickett and a few of the guitar god Jimi hendrix
Just wanted to say thanks for making this JT. Im working on a senior thesis paper on music and the Vietnam War and your 60s series has been a useful citation. Looking forward to the next installment and more of your awesome tunes.
My pleasure!
I absolutely LOVED this series, thank you so very much for making it, it’s been super insightful and the humour was super funny and engaging. I have no idea why some people had problems with it, it’s brilliant!
I have sent this comment on the 60s Part 2 episode as it was my favourite, super funny, interesting and engaging, well done!
So out of curiosity, Which one was your favourite to make? And what one are you the most proud of?
I feel like I have to sign this comment off with “peace and love” as it’s the 60s video, so there you go 😂
This episode may very well be my favorite because my father (Playing The Hippie Bum) got to get his Woodstock story on video before he passed and getting the privilege to act on camera with him is a moment I'll treasure forever.
Your videos are great and really educational!! Thanks man
Well done. I grew up with the era. The soundtrack of my life. I remember watching The Beatles when they appeared live on Ed Sulivan, buying the first Yardbird singles. I got a job at the largest record store in western Canada, in Winnipeg, Manitoba,, called Opus 69/ Campus Records. I had 800 record albums by 1974, became a lead singer , with the brother orf Randy Bachman as guitarist, becamse a guitarist myself, started a blues band, and the last gigs I were doing was with the JImmay Mayes Mill Street Depot,. Jimmy had played with Hendrix, Aretha Franklin, WIlson Pickett, etc...I thought I had hit the big time but I didnt want to smell like a cigarette every night, even though I had stopped somking, and being surrounded by drunk people all the time. I thank Jimmy for giving some books about Krishna at the Detroit Airport and to George Harrison, for introducing me to Lord Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. For me, being introduced to Krishna was the greatest contribution that any musician could make to understanding self realization and the goal of lifo, love of Krishna. You churned a lot of great memories with this video JT. I had albums of almost everyone you addressed in your History of Rock and Roll videos. I found the humour distracting in the video. It must have taken you a lot of time to put all this together. Thank you. very much. I agree with you that it was really stupid of the Stones to hire the Hells Angels as "security". The greatest song of the erain my opinion, was My Sweet Lord, because it contained the Hare Krishna mantra which when chanted is very transformative, purifying to the consciousness., freeing one from any unhalthy addiction they might have.. Hare Krishna!
Just ran across this... THANK YOU for giving props to Duane Allman and his solo on Wilson Pickett's Hey Jude... Duane is one of the greats, and not too many people know about this part of his story. Thanks for shedding light on his brilliance!
He is legitimately one of my favorite guitarists ever and I owe him big for inspiring my own music.
The decade of the sixties was to change the course of music history forever.
It wasn't the decade that changed music history. It was the musicians! (Sorry! I couldn't resist making this dumb comment!)
One of my favorite albums of the sixties is The Mothers of Intention's " were only in it for the money " .
Agreed
Were they a spoof Mothers of Invention covers band?!😂
Worth watching thanks for making this documentary. I was a teenager in the 1960s and a huge music lover and loved all the great pop, folk, soul and rock of the 1960s. I started collecting music then and still have a huge music collection.
the beauty of the music in the 60's is that there was so much of it with such incredible talent and that it had an outlet. rock, rock n roll, country rock, rock a billy, but also show tunes, big band, folk, country, electric folk, world, southern rock, soul, motown, classic crooners, jazz, all in the mix with a backdrop of killings, Nam and drugs and sex. with a base of the poor slobs who lived through the great depression, and ww2 who made the incredible prosperity they were all rebelling against. of course LBJ used that up in Nam. the best of times. the worst of times.
Great documentary! I know many artists and bits and pieces about rock history (being a 90s kid) but I haven't watched a coherent timeline of them before. You also make it very entertaining to watch with your creative skits and you're all very well spoken. Its really amazing how much music changed in 10 years. I dont quite agree however with your sentiment at the end, I think speaking about sociopolitical topics and honest emotions is still rampant today, particularly in genres like hip hop. I think music always remains the same in a sense, you always have your radio-friendly pop hits but you also have your musicians who do music just for the sake of art and expression you just need to really look for them. Its just our culture and music industry has changed a lot since then.
Congratulations, this series is well done and extremely entertaining for one who lived through the 60’s.
Grace Slick was in a competing band "The Great Society" and was already performing "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" when Signe Anderson quit Jefferson. Grace brought "Somebody" written by her brother in law in the Great Society and her song to JA
My favorite Airplane is still Come Up the Years from Takes Off
Brilliant, guys! You make it so much fun while staying true to the spirit of genius of the golden age of rock 'n roll...
Oh yes! I've been waiting for this so long, thank you!
In a gadda da Vida was the first vinyl I ever owned. I was a little kid but dug that song, and I played it constantly.
I loved every minute of this video. To synthesize so much greatness into 2-30 minute videos is amazing. I enjoyed the historical information, the hilarious commentary as well as the musical selections. Thank you for sharing your passion for music with us.
Both of these I've seen are great, nice work. They are also actually funny, and someone took care to make the sound loud and proud. Thanks a million.
We went from Doo Wop to Hendrix in 4 years.
Thank You, this is so inspiring! I first noticed the 50's episode a year and a half ago when I was exploring the world of rock'n'roll. And the video was one of the top at the list. I watched it and some of your performances too. So I wonder why you have so few subscribers... (Nonetheless devoted ones!) Anyway the one interested in rock (as me) should appreciate your talent. Or is it because that only few people are interested in particularly establishing patterns rather than just listening to music? I'm sorry for such a long comment, that was the first of mine on youtube and I liked to talk to this bar :)
This was totally enjoyable. You covered it all. Especially Jimi, Jeff Beck, Cream(still listen to all at least every week) and Blue Cheer. Only band I haven't heard you mention from 60's was Spirit. There was so much music from this time. Much appreciate your mentioning Motown et al., Soul and Black artists as well were very important.
Blue Cheer? I love them! 😂
JTCurtisMusic, this is absolutely incredible!! HURRAH! I was 16/17 in 1967, my favorite year! THANK YOU.
Kudos to JT Curtis for the very best TH-cam videos on this particular subject!
Your videos are very informative and dope!! Can't wait for the 1970s episodes in 2018-2019.
Great video , I often find myself enjoying these longer format ones more
JT Curtis is very funny and so cute! These Rock and Roll documentaries are really good! So many bands so little time.
Man, I love these! Keep em coming!
Proof that commentators who love their subject make us love it too. Great Job!!
Excellent job, I'm loving everything about this episode. You guys played all the best music and information about the 60's, the best era for Rocking!!!!! JT is a musical virtuoso!!!! Bravo!!!!
Most appreciated Andy!
This is frickin' hilarious! Really great job.
This series is going down as some of the greatest educational content to ever hit youtube straight classics.
I have now watched this video for the fourth time. It really is great stuff, informative and very enterteining. I am very much looking forward to see your next episode. The 70s were in my opinion the peak of rock music. The 50s and 60s may have given birth to R'n'R but the 70s brought it to new levels. The number of influential bands and the diversity of sub genres is just so extremely large. Prog rock, hard rock, glam rock, jazz rock, punk rock, new wave are so much related to this decade.
watching this in 2021, AWE-SOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm so happy that you mentioned The Moody Blues! Days of Future Passed is a fantastic album! I have to listen to it in it's entirely because it's that awesome of an album and it wouldn't make sense if I skip the songs! All the songs are awesome and it's definitely one of the albums that changed my life! Nights In White Satin and Tuesday Afternoon are awesome songs! It's my fourth favorite rock album of the 1960s, only behind The Beatles' Abbey Road, The Who's My Generation, and The Yardbirds' Raving Up With the Yardbirds. The fifth spot will go to CCR's Green River. And I'm sorry, but Days of Future Passed beats Jimi Hendrix Experience's Are You Experienced by a longshot! 1967 was a really awesome year in music and there were just too many awesome albums released that year.
BTW the main electrification influence on Bob Dylan was Mike Bloomfield whom he asked to play WITH (not the other way as popularized in Rock mythology). After playing with Bob Dylan, he moved to San Francisco where he had a major influence on the psychedelic sound.
My favorite episode. I love this one so much. :>
First of all, compliments to your great videos and to you. Astounding!
For the 70's...ELP is a must. Funny how that band can be a great example of everything great about the 70's and everything that was wrong with it at the same time.
Gotta say the Beatles are my favorite 60s artist. In the 70s, I need to hear about Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin!
You won't be disappointed! ;)
When I wrote the comment yesterday, I had no idea the video was from 4 years ago!
Then, I finished up through the 1990s in one day. Great video series!
Thanks and keep on the good work! (though I did not hear about Love and the "Forever Changes" masterpiece) ;-)
This brings back a flood of memories of a time in my life when the music scene was undergoing major changes.
This channel is rad!
Thank you!
Well, I saw a lot of these groups back in the '60s, yes, I'm a "boomer," and my favorites would have to be Hendrix, Cream and the Doors. I've got a playlist on YT Music, "Mainly Wild '60s Rock," with more than 1,000 songs from this era. I met a lot of performers like Janis and Jim Morrison. Back in those days it was very casual and if you wanted to see people in a band you went backstage. More often than not they were just smoking a joint out back and we'd join them. I saw the Doors many times at the Whiskey in Hollywood. There was more music released from 1966-70 than in any other similar time period in history.
Ok boomer nah I’m just plying that’s actually really cool dude!!! 😎🤘🏻
Different times. Musicians were approachable and friendly w fans
Love these vids. Should have a lot more views!!!
So good, that I found your canal.
I say you "big thank you" for funny and full lesson about rock, you are big master and filled my attention , success to you, and greetings from Siberia, I will follow you!))
You're a phenomenal guitar player. That Jimmi was 💪
Thank you!
Lovely💕😍 episode. God bless🙏
I've been really enjoying this video series so far. You do a great job of encompassing many, many high points within a limited amount of time, and the humorous stuff you throw in keeps it easy to watch! I'm curious to see what you've got in store for the 1970s and beyond.
One very minor correction, the so-called Sunset Strip Riots actually occurred outside of Pandora's Box, not the Whisky a Go-Go, which is located down on the other side of the strip. Only mentioning this because Pandora's Box was forced to close in the aftermath, while the Whisky is still operational today. Keep on rockin'.
best music of all time
Good stuff! I wish I'd been there. Oh wait, I was! Don't remember it too well.
Great and funny done !
Thanks for the video man!!!
Very entertaining...enjoyed it
There really was so much more to the 60's than what you had time to cover. I'm a 60's music fanatic, and I wish you had time to cover the great bands from The Netherlands, Iceland, Finland, Sweden, and yes, South America.
I would love a documentary on the Brazil Tropicalia movement!
Man i love Your music generation videos man good job👍👍
for such a young man, you really have a great appreciation of the music of the 60s!! Dwayne Allman was amazing and you do get it.
thank you!!!
I wish you had covered Syd Barrett's actual guitar playing. I take it you'll cover the hell out of "Dark Side of the Moon" in the 70's documentary, but to me and all my friends, "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn" (in its superior mono mix) is both the quintessential Pink Floyd and psychedelic rock album. Pink Floyd were literally the most futuristic band of the 60's, and Syd Barrett's innovative guitar playing spawned the birth of multiple genres, influencing guitarists for many decades after. I would cite his fluid use of improvisation and jazz/punk-like microtonal leads and riffs as essentially laying the blueprint for the future of rock music. Most people don't see this, but he's the hidden secret weapon for any aspiring guitarist to discover. He's the reason I picked up guitar and want to start a band. Rock music and the guitar as an instrument seemed all said and done until I heard the Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd. And that live Stockholm show from 1967 that was released on the Early Years boxset (which is on the official Pink Floyd topic channel on TH-cam) really helps showcase Syd's incredible riffmaking, So many musicians of the 60's and 70's, including Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Paul McCartney, Pete Townshend, David Bowie, Marc Bolan, Brian Eno, The Sex Pistols, The Damned, Throbbing Gristle, John Frusciante, and many others, they all deeply respected Syd Barrett's guitar playing.
Also worth covering was the Texas band The 13th Floor Elevators, their lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Roky Erickson, and their lead guitarist Stacy Sutherland. They toured San Francisco, and brought the psychedelic rock sound there while most groups there were still playing folk. If you listen to their Avalon Ballroom gig recording, they were literally the heaviest band of 1966. And they literally would trip during all their performances, and penned lyrics about tripping and achieving a higher state of consciousness. Lyrically, they were the esoteric equivalent of Bob Dylan. Quite frankly, the most esoteric band in all of rock history. Their debut rock'n roll album "The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators" with its hit single "You're Gonna Miss Me", their magnum opus "Easter Everywhere" with its 8-minute opening track "Slip Inside This House", and the down-to-earth Stacy Sutherland-led "Bull of the Woods" are a massive trilogy of killer rock albums. Yet another secret weapon for the aspiring guitarist. Needless to say, the psychedelia did not go over well in their home state, and they missed their chance at fame due to drug arrests and a greedy independent record label.
Also, Jefferson Airplane didn't reach their experimental psychedelic peak until "After Bathing At Baxter's", followed by "Crown of Creation". These albums have a much heavier sound which makes "Surrealistic Pillow" sound like soft rock. The Byrds pioneered psychedelic rock with their single "Eight Miles High" and its b-side "Why". Album-wise, their best would have to be "Younger Than Yesterday". Country Joe & The Fish, the same band Country Joe McDonald fronted, also revolutionized music with their album "Electric Music for the Mind and Body" with its direct references to psychedelic drug use and its trippy revolutionary sound.
Also, who could forget Frank Zappa and his once best friend Captain Beefheart? Frank Zappa, the avant-garde absurdist guitar genius with his group The Mothers of Invention releasing the revolutionary "Freak Out!", "Absolutely Free", the psychedelic rock parody "We're Only In It For The Money", and the group's magnum opus before Zappa went solo "Uncle Meat". Captain Beefheart and His Magic Band pushed the envelope even further into bluesy Dadaist territory, like a Howlin' Wolf on acid, with "Safe As Milk", "Strictly Personal", and the insanely notoriously demented microtonal futuristic anti-masterpiece that is THE "Trout Mask Replica", which still inspires heated debates and challenges listeners to this very day.
There is, of course, so much more that can be covered, especially in the realm of British psychedelic music. The Pretty Things' "S.F. Sorrow", for example, the true heir to the title of first rock opera. And the original Fleetwood Mac with Peter Green and Danny Kirwan. As a guitarist, Peter Green impressed B.B. King, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, and so many others. The Beatles' "Sun King" on their "Abbey Road" album was directly influenced by Fleetwood Mac's hit instrumental single "Albatross". And their 1969 album "Then Play On" is as good as any Led Zeppelin album. Although the last Fleetwood Mac single with that lineup, "The Green Manalishi", didn't come out until 1970, so I'm guessing that opens the doors for them to be covered in the 70's.
Anyway, I find these all very essential to understanding psychedelic rock and 60's music as a whole as anything else that's been covered, and they are my top picks that I felt worth mentioning. Overall, I feel you did a great job, though, but I wish you had split the 60's into 3 parts and gotten into the deeper cuts and alternative history. But that's just me. And for God's sakes, cut Tiny Tim some slack. His "God Bless Tiny Tim" album is a great psychedelic pop album. Give the song "Strawberry Tea" a listen. It might change your mind about him. Anyway, I hope everyone had fun reading this comment, if you've reached this far. lol Peace and love.
This might be the best youtube-comment I've ever read
Love your passion and knowledge.
@@loaxelsson1394 this is a fucking essay
Loved reading this. Thank you! And thanks for opening up my mind to some new (old) things
@@judeolney2944 I must revise my essay a bit, though. “The Notorious Byrd Brothers” is the best Byrds album, but “Younger Than Yesterday” is still fantastic.
You need more subscribers dude this is great content, keep it up 👍
Great job JT. Due in part (maybe) to: 1. you are a pretty darn good musician (takes one to know one) and 2. You have good taste. I liked that you put it all in context of the times without over doing it. I'm a 67 year old geezer (how did that happen?) so was right age for all that fun when happened, and could find no fault or stumble in what you chose and why. Oh, love that Gretsch Tennessee Rose (right?). My fave? Jimi. Saw 3 times, and one time was GOD (good batting average). First time heard Purple Haze thought "Well this changes everything..."
These are the greatest videos on the internet! Thank you for doing what you do
This is one of the best "rockumentary" I have ever seen heard! I have seen 95% of the artists shown here. Our age group had a wonderful experience with music, and a kick ass time exploring, learning, enjoying it all while growing up.
❤✌😀=the 60's
Love your vids, your humour is magical, especially during the orchestral end to 'A Day In A Life,' and of course, Hendrix setting fire to his guitar. Keep it up guys, you rock!
God only knows is my favorite song :)
King Crimson definitely needs to be in the next episode. I was kind of hoping to see them on this one, well you did show the first album cover.
This is Fun Thanks for the Video !!!!!!!!!!!!
What a decade for music.
One particular highlight of CSN's set at Woodstock was their performance of Paul McCartney's Blackbird.
Hi I'm fan led zeppelin and black sabbath and deep purple and Atomic rooster and my favorite guitarists is Jimi Hendrix and Tony iommi and Ritchie Blackmore and Jimmy page .
Fantastic !!!
Elvis’s 68 comeback special should have been on here cause it was one of the most watched televised performance/show
We talked about it in the 70s extras video, 68 - 69 just had SO many things to talk about...
@@JTCurtisMusic ok thanks definitely gonna check it out,
Like again.. so nice. Greetings from Brazil.
The Grateful Dead's infamous Woodstock performance was riddled with trouble and mud. It is oftentimes considered one of the worst yet memorable performances they ever did.
This needs to be seen more
In the great rock vs folk split -- I went with folk and only heard most of the rock by accident on the radio and in the corridors of my college dorm. My favorite group was Ian and Sylvia. Please don't hurt me...
JT Curtis. Well done siir!!
Amazing thank you!!!!
The greatest musical decade of the XX Century !!
I really enjoy this video.
the kinks you really got me that riff by dave is the 1st he very rock riff
NGL, this video made me listen and enjoy the Wilson Pickett Hey Jude version
Great vid man👌
