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!
How wonderful! I'm so glad you had such a profound experience. That spiritual presence is real. And while it showed you, that evening, the harmony that lived in that period in history, know that "harmony and understanding, sympathy and trust abounding, no more falsehoods or derisions, golden living dreams of visions" live with us all the time. We just have to be willing to see them and invite them into our consciousness. Blessings on you and your mother. My heart can hear her singing from here, halfway around the world.
@@JeffFreemanPresents I couldn't have said it any better myself. We are the cosmos made conscious and life is the means by which the universe understands itself. What a time to have been alive that period was. My mother send her warmest regards to you and yours, wherever you may be 🙏💫
@@eleynasimic I'm in Seattle, about to go to Guadalajara tomorrow to learn how to build shelters for people displaced by disasters. But I'm not far from you -- -we are all close in spirit. Much love.
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.
All of these hippies are now bankers , corporate cronies,or some form of capitalist participants. Idealism doesn’t pay for the bills if you’re responsible enough not to have checked out
I’m 70 and was still in my early teens during the summer of love, but its effect on me was huge. I also saw Hair live in my late teens. As a European in those days America was my dream and I did manage to go there a few times. On my second trip, I went to San Francisco and later captioned my photos with “Haight Ashbury, where the one-time hippies are now ‘respectable’ parents of punks” (the term respectable was more tongue-in-cheek). I still say the 80s changed everything. Kids were more concerned with brands than politics.
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.
@@lepoetress I was fortunate enough to see the movie in 1979 the year it was released. Ironically enough it was during them summer when I was on an 8 week training course in the local militia unit. I loved the movie back then and it has stuck with me ever since. I have owned the VHS version of it and now have it on DVD. I highly recommend seeing the movie at least once in our lifetime.
+Steve I saw it in '79, too! Loved it from the first time I saw it. I don't think I've ever seen a choreographer's style match the subject matter as perfectly as Twyla Tharp's did the hippie love children in this movie. She caught exactly the right flavor, with her tight-loose seemingly unstructured movements. (I especially love how she captures the time dilation effects of being stoned by occasionally slowing the dancing to a crawl and then speeding it up again.) And the way the story was adapted was great because let's face it, the play as written would have been impossible to film as a movie. It's brilliant, everyone is wonderful, and the music will always be glorious. :)
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.
yes thats correct some guy hit him when he was on his motorcycle he flew 15 ft in the air and died not to long after arriving at the trauma center in Albany New York the accident occurred near route 30 in Dorset Vermont treat was only 71
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.
I hate to age myself but I was tiny little thing when this came out, about 4, and my dad bought the soundtrack on tape for me. I played it so much I burned the tape inside. I literally played it to death. This will always have a place in my heart.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The problem is that greed is human nature. It never went away, and it won't go away. Society can build in checks for it, I believe it's possible, but hard.
I totally agreed!! And even I'm Brazilian, see how crazy it's: My mother, professor of arts and music, let me watch in old cassete video, and even without translation so, I'm like grown lissen this song and entire movie, even without a translation lol!! But, many years after I have the knowing of what this movie represents in American and world culture, I think the question of drugs was heavy, as I don't use no one, but, let theses questions aside, the movie and MAILY songs are so good, hain?!! Thank you to up load this perole, even so years ago!! So, very thank you from future, or, better saying, from our present to yours huh?!! Thank you and we see you budy!! Sorry, because I want to say thinks to the up loader, but it's ok, think you to you too huh, lol?! :))
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 :-).
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!
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, TH-cam, for making this movie available to us TH-cam viewers.
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!
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.
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!

You may have a look at the Henoch prophecy by Billy Meier (published in 2004). The golden age is about spirituality and this will come but the change may produce much turmoil during the transition phase.
David G. Agreed. I had the good fortune to see her and Hinton Battle in "The Joni Mitchell Project." They sang a duet of Joni's "A Case Of You." It blew the house down. Encore after encore. She is an AMAZING talent!! Thank you for commenting!
When a friend of mine lost his car keys one morning, he asked his three year old daughter if she'd seen them. She said, "It's in the darning by the edge of the aquarium."
"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.
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.
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
It is not the first time that this type of concept distortion has occurred. When Uranus entered Aquarius at the end of the last century, the same "announcements" occurred as the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. Another big mistake. What determines the beginning of a new astrological era is the constellation aligned with the Sun during the equinox of 20/21 March. And this axis, still points to Pisces and will remain there till 200 years.
Approximated dates for entering the Age of Aquarius range from 1447 A.D. to 3597 A.D. Some astrologers say the Age of Aquarius actually began in 2012. The star Regulus in the constellation Leo marked the ancient border between the constellations Leo and Cancer. This star moved to within 30 degrees of the September equinox point in 2012, meaning that Regulus left the sign Leo to enter the sign Virgo in that year. Presuming equal-sized constellations in antiquity, that places the border of the constellations Pisces and Aquarius at 150 degrees west of Regulus, or at the March equinox point. By this reckoning, the Age of Aquarius started in 2012.
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 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.
Dressage is the French word for schooling and isn't inherently good or bad. Classical dressage teaches horses to carry themselves more efficiently, but the show world can of course be ugly with more focus on achieving high level maneuvers whether the animal is physically and mentally ready or not. The best horsemen and women I know give all of their animals a classical dressage foundation before training for a specific discipline, because when done right it's in the animal's best interest.
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.
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 TH-cam 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)!!!!
Musical meraviglioso!inno potente contro tutti le guerre il valore dell'amicizia sincera....tanti messaggi racchiusi dalla pace all'amore semplice...bello...capolavoro!@
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. : { ]
Just saw your coment, six years late, but as a fellow Aquarian I'm very curious to see how the world has moved closer to your spiritual viewpoint over the past five decades.
One of the most striking and dramatic openings of any movie. I was 16 when this opened and was overwhelmed. I remember sitting in the theater for the next show just to watch this scene one more time
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..
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
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.
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
I watched this a few times this film but finally apprciared the artist view. We as Americans are either a brukosky or a berger but in the end we are all Americans which make this country great
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
Just signed on to hear/watch this after reading of the passing of original Hair collaborator James Rado and found myself as moved by it as the day I first saw it. My favorite vocal version alone, to say nothing of the choreography and cinematography!
Renn Woods knocked it out the f.kin park, maybe the most impressive vocalization I've ever heard, and that is just over a shitty phone speaker. Can't even imagine what that would be like in person. Whitney's "I will always love you" is the only thing I am thinking of that is even close. how much range and power she flexes with just the word "aquarius". But I could be way off.
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".
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.
Harmony and mutual understanding will stop terrorism and hatred. We need to talk to each other, it's as simple as that Your blood is red, so is mine...... Wake up people. The next generation has to get it right.
When a loon is in the Big White House And stupider than rocks on Mars His team will fry the planet Unless they end up behind bars This is the dawning of the Age That Will Bury Us Age That Will Bury Us Will bury us Will bury us No harmony nor understanding Sympathy and trust are drowning Under falsehoods and derisions Emboldened by extreme divisions Sadistic distal ruination And the blind’s new liberation Will bury us Will bury us

I saw Hair in 1969 in London at the Shaftesbury Theatre with the same Broadway production team. I was then a student.
Always remember it was a leftist dictatorship that made your mother watch this in secret.

Yea the father sending off his son to war in the fog and telling him "be aware, I love you" hurt my stomach
Agreed....Thanks from Italy

And also one of the BEST final scenes ever! th-cam.com/video/qonj8k0FBmA/w-d-xo.html
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.
Amen to that!

Mit dem heutigen Tag, dem 21. 1 2024 sind wir in das Zeitalter des Wassermanns eingetreten.

Es werden tiefgreifende Veränderungen passieren.
The problem is that greed is human nature. It never went away, and it won't go away. Society can build in checks for it, I believe it's possible, but hard.
I loved the horses! Their prancing was adorable. 😄😍
I hope they treated 🐴 well

@@XanAxDdu Milos Forman - RIP....From an original theater play
I totally agreed!! And even I'm Brazilian, see how crazy it's: My mother, professor of arts and music, let me watch in old cassete video, and even without translation so, I'm like grown lissen this song and entire movie, even without a translation lol!! But, many years after I have the knowing of what this movie represents in American and world culture, I think the question of drugs was heavy, as I don't use no one, but, let theses questions aside, the movie and MAILY songs are so good, hain?!! Thank you to up load this perole, even so years ago!! So, very thank you from future, or, better saying, from our present to yours huh?!! Thank you and we see you budy!! Sorry, because I want to say thinks to the up loader, but it's ok, think you to you too huh, lol?! :))
No argument here. This movie rocks.
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.
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.
👏 😮 👏 wow ...tell us more
Thanks for sharing
Italian translation of lyrics about this musical instead just suck to me
Milos Forman-RIP....Great director....He also directed "Taking off" and "Amadeus" about Mozart's life
Also, directed the Oscar Best Picture, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
This voice is timelessly impressive!
yes...
Her voice has the power to touch higher feelings in my self. It is like a pray.
She is singing the absolute tar out this great song.
Happy age of Aquarius everybody!!
Yes you too, lovely human!
Thank you!! I’ve been hearing this! What does it mean? :):)
For you too, darling!
One month till my birthday!
But Jupiter is aligned with Saturn
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.
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.
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.
This is the age of Aquarius! This is the great awakening! I love you all, happy 21 december!🌟🌠⭐🌞🌈
❤❤❤❤❤
Astrologers do not agree on when the Aquarian age will start or even if it has already started.
Incorrect
I have Much optimism for the coming years, it time we all come together!
We know! 🌹
Choreographed by Twyla Tharp. I love the horses - brilliant.
God Speed Treat Williams. Enjoy Heaven, you will be forever remembered and missed. ☮🕊
Yes indeed. He was a good actor❤
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
Still LOVE this.... after all these years....
Me too! ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽❤️❤️❤️
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 :-).
and now, the demons will come out of the woodwork.
That’s my birthday.
And when is exactly happen again next time?
Will it happen again in 2022, I'm counting more in that year.
Sweet!!!

Love the "Hair" soundtrack!!!🤩😍
Best soundtrack ever
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, TH-cam, for making this movie available to us TH-cam viewers.
RIP Treat Williams. I had a big crush on him from this movie!
it's 2023 and i still love this movie forever and always.
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!
Me too. The moment I of heard it first on that show “head of the class” I was hooked. Lol
Hope so ,too!!!
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.
This movie will live in my heart forever , soooo well done - fantastic music , fantastic story , characters - I just love it so much ❤❤❤
My god. That voice.
I have always loved this song, but this rendition by Ren Wood gave me goosebumps. Beautiful!!
Five dimension did a gorgeous cover too
@@annaritaranalli1791 Yes, that was actually the first version of the song that I had ever heard.
Thanks for mentioning the wonderful lead singer’s name: Ren Wood.
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 guess we all believed in a better world once.
And now I just believe I'd better buy some fish .......
it being the age of aquariums and all that.
+ Farweasel I already bought it. Chub mackerel is good and healthy meal for saturday. But be aware, that fish is almost estinct from the (Adriatic) sea. Buy artificially farmed fish and help save our planet.
Keep believing :-)
You may have a look at the Henoch prophecy by Billy Meier (published in 2004). The golden age is about spirituality and this will come but the change may produce much turmoil during the transition phase.
Tank you for that.
Ren Woods is such an amzingly talented performer. How she didn't make it bigger is beyond me.
David G. Agreed. I had the good fortune to see her and Hinton Battle in "The Joni Mitchell Project." They sang a duet of Joni's "A Case Of You." It blew the house down. Encore after encore. She is an AMAZING talent!! Thank you for commenting!
David G. who is ren woods?
+solomos solomoy She is the black lady who is singing the lead in this song
+David G. She has amaizing voice. One of those, black singers, sadly, don't have nowdays any more.
I think milos loves raw female talent
When it seemed another America was possible..........
When a friend of mine lost his car keys one morning, he asked his three year old daughter if she'd seen them. She said, "It's in the darning by the edge of the aquarium."
"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.
This always sends chills down my spine, and they increase in intensity when she points to the sky.
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.
Every time those horses start "dancin" I get so happy
Life is a journey so be kind to those who get on your bus.
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
Exactly ✨

DIO MIO, "HAIR".... CHE FILM!!!!! Il Film sul FENOMENO degli Hyppies e dei Figli dei Fiori ed ANCHE dell'AMORE LIBERO senza vincoli!!!!!!!
Dec 21 2020 -- It's today we enter the Age of Aquarius (as they call it).
It is not the first time that this type of concept distortion has occurred. When Uranus entered Aquarius at the end of the last century, the same "announcements" occurred as the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. Another big mistake. What determines the beginning of a new astrological era is the constellation aligned with the Sun during the equinox of 20/21 March. And this axis, still points to Pisces and will remain there till 200 years.
Approximated dates for entering the Age of Aquarius range from 1447 A.D. to 3597 A.D. Some astrologers say the Age of Aquarius actually began in 2012. The star Regulus in the constellation Leo marked the ancient border between the constellations Leo and Cancer. This star moved to within 30 degrees of the September equinox point in 2012, meaning that Regulus left the sign Leo to enter the sign Virgo in that year. Presuming equal-sized constellations in antiquity, that places the border of the constellations Pisces and Aquarius at 150 degrees west of Regulus, or at the March equinox point. By this reckoning, the Age of Aquarius started in 2012.
I was told it was 2012
2012 Mayan/Aztec calender entered new age 'Aquarius'.

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 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.
Renn Woods singing Aquarius; my favorite version of all!!!!
RIP James Rado.
Thanks for this timeless musical.
We knew this masterpiece thanks to him
The horses are amazing!
Really wonderful. Can't get enough 😃😃😃
*Drusilla666* love it
*Drusilla666* yea I thought you were talking about the hippie dancers . 😑
@*Drusilla666* I read that some dressage horses are cruelly abused, but does it always work like that?
Dressage is the French word for schooling and isn't inherently good or bad. Classical dressage teaches horses to carry themselves more efficiently, but the show world can of course be ugly with more focus on achieving high level maneuvers whether the animal is physically and mentally ready or not. The best horsemen and women I know give all of their animals a classical dressage foundation before training for a specific discipline, because when done right it's in the animal's best interest.
I always thought the bit with the two dancers dancing with the police horses was pretty brilliant.
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.
This is one of those songs that always give me chills when I hear it.
Fab voice, no autotuner or any hi-tech jiggery-pokery - just plain American talent.
She's from Portland, Oregon, not the U.S.
Oregon IS in the US, geography lesson:

I take it you're from Siberia...
What's her name?

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 TH-cam 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)!!!!
BEAUTIFUL SONG &SINGER..THANKS!!
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!@
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.
: { ]
wow you wrote this 5 yrs ago? wth i scrolled far!..me, January 26, like (not same year) Paul Newman and Eddie Van Halen..you? :)
Reddesknotes I’m Feb 4, glad to meet you fellow Aquariuses- I’m glad we can find each other through art like this ;)
Just saw your coment, six years late, but as a fellow Aquarian I'm very curious to see how the world has moved closer to your spiritual viewpoint over the past five decades.
Aquaruis rising here but yeah
I can't stop listening, this is so beautiful and peacful and hopeful, I love it
One of the most striking and dramatic openings of any movie. I was 16 when this opened and was overwhelmed. I remember sitting in the theater for the next show just to watch this scene one more time
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..
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
Yes she has an amazing voice. ❤️❤️❤️☮️☮️☮️☮️🕊🕊🕊✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽
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.
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
one of my all time favorite musicals! This is a Broadway play, turned movie done right!
I love this musical and this song! My zodiac sign is actually Aquarius, so I love to call this song "my theme song" 🤣
It's finally here!
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 🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤
Such a funky beat rendition of "Aquarius."
I watched this a few times this film but finally apprciared the artist view. We as Americans are either a brukosky or a berger but in the end we are all Americans which make this country great
EYE am soooooo loving this video right now!! Especially at the 3:07 mark. Lightworkers? ACTIVATE THAT MAGIC! NOW is the time!! LOVE THIS!!
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
Just signed on to hear/watch this after reading of the passing of original Hair collaborator James Rado and found myself as moved by it as the day I first saw it. My favorite vocal version alone, to say nothing of the choreography and cinematography!
best choregraphy with great music arrangement
best choreography is Jesus Christ Superstar PLEASE! ...THE KING OF MUSICAL fantastic!...watch all the songs..
Renn Woods knocked it out the f.kin park, maybe the most impressive vocalization I've ever heard, and that is just over a shitty phone speaker. Can't even imagine what that would be like in person. Whitney's "I will always love you" is the only thing I am thinking of that is even close. how much range and power she flexes with just the word "aquarius". But I could be way off.
No. Your Spot On
what a great music is this, love the film and the musical....
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".
Mir i ljubav. Obožavam Hair :)

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.
Beautiful film and song 🌹🌻🌹🌸💮💐🌻🌼

l've seen this movie when i was teenager n it's stay in my brain !!! really fabulous movie !!
Harmony and mutual understanding will stop terrorism and hatred.
We need to talk to each other, it's as simple as that
Your blood is red, so is mine......
Wake up people.
The next generation has to get it right.
When a loon is in the Big White House
And stupider than rocks on Mars
His team will fry the planet
Unless they end up behind bars
This is the dawning of the Age That Will Bury Us
Age That Will Bury Us
Will bury us
Will bury us
No harmony nor understanding
Sympathy and trust are drowning
Under falsehoods and derisions
Emboldened by extreme divisions
Sadistic distal ruination
And the blind’s new liberation
Will bury us
Will bury us
