At 73, I am right with you! This was a pretty decent list. It sure brings a lot back even after living so many decades after the fact. But the groove that came alive back in the day never leaves the hearts of those who were there! ✌ I am so happy I was part of it all!
NOT A BAD LIST. NO ONE WHO HAS COMMENTED. HAS FAILED TO MENTION BACK THEN MUSIC WAS STILL REGIONAL. EAST COAST/ WEST COAST SOUND. SO TO PUT EVERYTHING IN A LIMITED GROUPING. IS UNREALISTIC!!! F A R-O U T-M A N
It certainly was close to what was consider psychedelic at the time…beside it being the “B” side of one of the ultimate Psychedelic Songs ever released, Strawberry Fields… it all seemed wrapped together when I was listening to back in Jr High Days!
I have a long list. We had a Telefunken with a Phillips reel to reel, and a turn table, HiFi. My dad got it at the PX in Turkey. No TV. It went everywhere with us. I was four. Lots of dancing and singing over the years and surfing radio frequencies. “They don’t make them like that anymore.”
Yahoo Music used to have a station dedicated to nothing but trippy hippie music and I heard so much I'd never heard before. Sure would like to find the station is still available somewhere.
Actually, there were other tunes that were as great as the tunes of that era. I have been blessed to have been s part of it. LP's such as "Dark Side of the Moon", "Wish you were here", "Abbey Road", Wonderful stuff that will never be seen or heard again....
This is the rock I grew up with. For me, this is the most enjoyable rock genre. So imaginative, full of resources in the grounds of technical discoveries and innovation, the music sounded very original and memorable... I just love it!
Back in the day. Great time to be growing up. Nothing like it is today. Sometimes I left a night club/bar cause couldn't stand the the well what kids today call music.
@@LeviBulger well they did have talent especially compared to todays so called bands or artists, it’s just that Beatles were the obvious band to look up to and record companies were in need of a quick buck so they directed many bands to copy instead of growing their own style. Still, I rather listen to a mediocre Beatles copycat than whatever is on top of the charts today
I agree but the sound of she said she said is absolutely incredible for a Beatles song, Ringo plays the drums like Mitch Mitchell and the whole feel is so acid inspired, like far out
Tomorrow Never Knows was the first Revolver song recorded, even though it's the last song on the album and sounds as if it's anticipating what was to come out in '67.
I was born in the early 50s and I got to see The Beatles on Ed Sullivan that changed my whole life. I am thankful that I got to be Exposed to all the wonderful music. From rock and roll to psychedelic There wasn't a better time on Earth for music. I don't listen to a lot of the old Music Anymore Like I Used To but if You WANT your mind to be blown completely away Listen to (Deep Purple sweet child in time) There are so many that I love, Pink Floyd being one of them comfortably numb one of my very very favorites. Led Zeppelin I can't even begin to start. You young people have so many choices and so many ways to go it must be wonderful, Look backwards once in a while and see what the freaks were doing Back in the 60s and 70s
You got that right! Born in 1951, I was there in the flesh, like you. There will never be anything like it again. Peace Out my brothers and sisters! ✌✌
@@crystalship9900 And I promised my mom and dad that night when we watched it on Ed sullivan that I would never do that and within 6 months I had a mop top
Yep I was born 73 years ago next week....and ol Ed Sullivan was great at featuring great Rock & Roll bands.....I actually saw Jimi @ the LA forum back in the 70's!
@@b.w.barbee2269 Your right, their surfer tunes from the early/mid 60's were cool, particularly if you were a teen back then. And, yes, Tommy James and the Shondells definitely tried too hard to be hip. Should have stuck to pop.
@@thom-mark6443 The Beach Boys were psychedelic to say the least in Brian's final days as band leader. From Pet Sounds up to Smiley Smile (some might argue that up to "Surf's Up" the album) they were pioneers in every musical way.
Memories of my youth ✌️ I thank God for getting me through it... I'm nearing 67 years old and have lost many friends and family over the years. Journey Well Brother's and Sister's ✌️ Stay Safe...
I like this song essentially in the fantastical and psychedelic Roxy Music's revival in their super album 'Flesh and blood' (1980 ), which contains also several other little diamonds, like Wilson Pickett's 'In the midnight hour', for example.
I was born in the UK in 1951 and I'm 72 now, I feel privileged to have lived through all of this era in music, it was amazing and it changed the world, that's something...but there's loads more to come ✌
Groovy Guru & DaveKraft1 ..... And can't leave out what may be the BEST version of 'Season of the Witch' performed by Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper and Stephen Stills from the incredible album....SUPER SESSION!! Thanks guys!!
@@larryslemp9698 thats what I remember, Super Sessions, I can re,member a lot of mornings 3 O'clock, shooting pool, and listening to that album, over and over. Actually didn't know there was any other!
Hi, you should consider yourself super lucky you were alive during those years and got to experience these, other people would do anything to be alive then, myself included 😅😂😊
It's Amazing how the 60s Hippy, Flower Power, Free Love Era was A Control Programme helped with LSD and Music to Lead majority of Unconscious people down a certain path and most still don't know it was all done for a reason DJ Mark Devlin Explains....
I met Timothy Leary in Las Vegas in the summer of 1994. I recognized him immediately, and when I walked up to him, I was greeted by a gentle human being. I told him that I understood where he was coming from. He smiled at me and told me that I have a sparkling soul. So I got that going for me, which is nice.
Oh man , you hit the nail on the head . Only way , I got out of Vietnam was my 2 brothers were either at Tet. or waiting to be deployed . The only good thing that came out of Nam was the music of the era ! It 1966 thru 1971 , was such a turbulent time The assinations , the riots , that fucking war , Woodstock , " underground " music .FM radio beginnings . Sheesh , I'm lucky to have survived . But , the anti -: establishment , protests for peace ..But the music and the music was simply the escape , even our brothers , men waiting to be deployed ....The MUSIC was our escape At least for a little bit . When I hear some of these recordings ,it brings right back to those years .
I was a HS Sr in '67. It was my first year of college. That 3 yr span between the "Summer of Love" in '67 throughout the turbulent '68 year of an election and the Chicago riots ending with Woodstock in '69 provided some of THE most influential and mindblowing music the world has ever known. It will never be repeated. I doted on all of it.
Saw the Zen Tricksters do a 10 minute version at the Right Track Inn on Long Island. Jeff wailed on his guitar like I've never seen. Coulda used some acid THAT night! But it was after my druggie days.
@@Papag53 So , so sorry my friend. Thats Patti Santos of the group ; IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY . Patti died in 89. A common mistake, they sound similar. * Grace Slick was Jefferson Airplane.
I was born in 1960, but the music was a huge part of my upbringing. My parents enjoyed a vast variety of music from southern spirituals, big band, R&B, Motown, TSOP, easy listening 🎧, the British Invasion, JAZZ, swing Rock, Doo Wop, etc. Whatever sounded good, my parents, older sister and brother listened to it! So for me, I listen 👂 to whatever sounds good to me and I don't care who makes it! That said, people have said nice things about the expansion of my mind, while others have questioned my ethnicity and sanity! All I can say is that I am who I am. I like what I like. Others opinions about me don't mean sh*t to me!!! I Love ❤️ Music!!! Music 🎶 is a Sweet Sticky Thing and I wanna Rock and Roll All Nite and party every day!!!
I am 73 years old. I have been a Moodies fan for over 50 years. I have seen them perform live at least 16 times. Tuesday Afternoon and Nights in White Satin are still my favorites and the whole Question of Balance is still one of my favorite albums.
TALES OF BRAVE ULYSSES IS THE ULTIMATE PSYCHEDELIC SONG BY THAT GROUP BUT MY FAVORITE WAS THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS TIME HAS COME TODAY AND NOT THE SHORT VERSION BUT THE EXTRA LONG EXTENDED VERSION THAT WAS 14:55 SECONDS LONG.
Really a great feat incorperating In A Gadda Da Vida in a 12 mins clip ! 😁 I grew up in that era and have to say the music was all about the aural experience of the songs and that's exactly what you are spoiling here !
@@Manus912 Mr Fernandes is correct. The text says "Tomorrow Never Knows" but the song in the video is "She Said, She Said". Both are on the same album, Revolver, and both are great psychedelic songs.
@DD dunn The resentment impulse strong in this one is. (Why leave out "Psychotic Reaction" (Count 5), "I Love You" (People) and "I Can See For Miles?" (The Who) Be well.
I was 12 in 1966 and for about two years this psychedelic music filled my mind (even though I wasn't dropping acid; hell puberty was freaky enough). I loved everything about it, especially how oblique the lyrics could be. For my money, the greatest psychedelic song is "White Room" by Cream

Huh bruh Tomorrow Never Knows was the first song they recorded for Revolver before Rain and before She Said She Said and I think Tomorrow Never Knows is the ultimate psychedelic song
I was in Jr. high when these songs were played on the radio, in 1967 and on. What an amazing time to be alive. Our chant was LOVE PEACE AND HAPPINESS! What an amazing memory. Yes I sure do miss those days.
I was ten years old in 1967. This is the music of my youth. I spent endless hours listening to all of this. Curiously it shaped my love of HEAVY METAL. Arthur Brown is missing here ( Fire). This music got me through a rough childhood.
After Bathing at Baxter’s is such an overlooked album. It’s so good, yet none of the songs on it are widely known. Also, Tommy James has not gotten the respect in the rock world that he deserves. He’s often just regarded as bubble gum music, but he had some great songs with some great production, which I believe he mixed and arranged.
@Edgar Miller I read his autobiography. Yes, his record company was owned by the mob, but he was never threatened. Others were, but not him. He kept on friendly terms with the owner even though they were stealing from him by not giving him his due royalties. Years later, Roulette was bought out by MCA, and at that point James began to get the royalties he deserved. Morris Levy, who was the owner on paper of Roulette, always reasoned (wrongly) that the records that his company released made it possible for James to have a lucrative career as a touring artist. Crooks always justify in their heads why they rob and steal.
Absolutely. Best thing the Airplane ever did, not the overplayed White Rabbit and Somebody to Love, and having one of the songs on here is about all that gives this list a little credibility to me. I wore that record out when I was a young teenager in the late 60's and had to replace it twice.
@@alanogy Have to agree with you there! Saturday Afternoon! or Watch Her Ride... "I go stumbling through the sky and I seem to fly so high, I see you. I feel you. You have a way of walking round, your feet they never touch the ground and you are... shining!"
"I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in", Kenny Rogers started out as a rock singer and had a hit with that song with "The First Edition". It was the definition of a psychedelic acid trip.
Saw them in South Lake Tahoe, July 4, 1968. Flamin' Groovies opened the show, then an unknown band called Santana Blues Band warmed up the crowd pretty well. Hitched all the way over to Angel's Camp to see the Chambers Brothers in '75 or so, and I was the only one there. They cancelled the show, refunded my $2.50, and bought me a beer.
Pennylane and Crimson and Clover, are great songs, Pennylane is one of the very bests of 1967 but I don't see them psychedelic songs. I'd change them, and put "Astronomy Domine", of Pink Floyd, and Tales of Brave Ulysses, from Cream. The rest is OK.
I was born In 1960 and remember practically every song here with childhood fondness (DISCLAIMER: I had teen brothers). My favorites? Strawberry Alarm Clock's "Incense and Peppermints," and The Doors "Light My Fire."😁❤
I am too. Don't you wish you could Time Travel back to that era? Maybe not physically but at least we can still listen to this music, thanks to Sirius/XM and TH-cam. I have been on Bing videos watching a lot of Ed Sullivan shows.
No 13th Floor Elevators!! Slip Inside This House...Is the most psychedelic song you'll ever come across...just the lyrics of the song send you off onto an amazing trip...Epic song from one of the most underrated bands of the 60's.
As was already commented, without Slip Inside this House, by the 13th Floor Elevators, this list doesn't seem complete. And perhaps,the most trippy of Beatles songs, I Am The Walrus, wasn't included!!! Although, Tomorrow Never Knows, and Lucy in the Sky are... yeah! And Green Tamborine is a better fit than several songs on this list, maybe... Penny Lane ? And Where is What Condition My Condition Was In? Well... it's still a fun list, I gotta admit. I don't need to get crazy critical. So thanks and thumbs up for a really good effort. Take my comments as just suggestions for more great music :)
The elevators were early innovators of head music and never got the credit deserved . The drugs and drug charges contributed to their disappearance from the scene. Finding their original records is getting increasingly difficult,there are some good reproductions but not for all of there albums.
I was going to make the same comment until I saw this .. sadly, not many folks outside of Texas or California even know of the Elevators. But then, no videos of this tune, either, that I know of. R.I.P. Roky…
Actually many are the first generation of songs transitioning from pop to psychedelic so that is still psychedelic but these songs don't seem to include the real generation of psychedelic songs.
@@gyrgrls The Beach Boys had a fair amount of psychedelic music, Good Vibrations is an earlier psychedelic rock song and if you looks at their Album Smile it is definitely full of psychedelic tracks. While their early stuff isn’t psychedelic I’d say their Post Pet Sounds era in the late 60s had some great and often over looked psychedelic songs
Definitely Their most over the top psychedelic songs don't get airplay: A Saucerful of Secrets Careful with that Axe, Eugene Cymbaline Fat Old Sun Atom Heart Mother Suite Main Theme (from more) Cirrus Minor (IMNSHO, their most druggy song ever) Embryo Sysyphus The Narrow Way Astronomy Domine Interstellar Overdrive Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun Echoes Apples and Oranges Arnold Layne Bike Flaming Jugband Blues Remember a Day Corporal Clegg Let there Be More Light
This would have been a more meaningful video if the names of the singer(s)/groups and song titles had been on the screen. Many people from younger generations may be interested in music we had. That includes me because, even though now 74, I missed much of them due to being overseas with the RN and also freelance travel. I do have an almost complete collection of the Moody Blues (and why are they not included in this video), and a friend collects Pink Floyd. In fact, he has everything ever produced, even bootleg recording, and much of their paraphernalia that has come on the open market, including awards like gold records. Oh, well, things will never be the same and the music will never be the same, or as meaningful.
Wotdermatter do you know the name of the song right after Itchy coo Park? Might be hermans hermits. Sounds like there saying something like, no one ever touched me like you do.
LOL, the band right after the Small Faces singing "Itchycoo Park" are far from being Herman's Hermit's... they are in fact Status Quo with their very first single "Pictures of Matchstick Men". I don't know how you managed to extract those particular words from it, but it was their first and only success as a "psychedelic" band before they turned into the 4-to-the-floor 12 bar boogie band and churned out highly successful clone copies of their single for the next generation or two.
Hippie music was so groovy in it's day. I lived in the hippie days. Was a fun era. So very different from today . If you lived back then seems like yesterday but so long ago in our minds. The music cars fashion was so very different too. Miss those 1960s cars fashions and music. Sure alot of the hippies out there miss those times too.
Yeah the music fashion even the people all was different. The way things were back in the 60's 70's we had it made man, this generation nowadays haven't a clue what it was about then. Nothing can compare to back then man. Psychedelic it was music fashion even the drugs man. Miss the trippy day's man all the Psychedelic shit. Hippie than and now always Barefooted That's my hippie shoe's man lol. Tie Dye and bleached Bell-bottoms with patches it was such a beautiful groovy Era was back than to man. Still grooven hippie here loven life.
nice job, Nathaniel. ignore the critics! they have nothing worthwhile to contribute. I grew up in the 60s, born in 51. you represented the period pretty well; there's no way to now at every great psychedelic band in just 30 examples. again, nice job!
This is a very good list. I was delighted that you included Pink.Floyd's See Emily Play! No one is going to fault you because you didb't include one song, but if I were putting together a Psychedelic Songs List, The Yardbirds' Shapes of Things would be on it. Cheers!
all this music from the past, sure helped the present day. They say don't live I in the past. Let go of the past. I say no, I love visiting the past,,! Anyone with me!? :-) hehe but im for real
trippy words man....heavy..heavy stuff man...like I'm seeing reality with your words and it is so very heavy yet it's cool man...visiting the past is never in my past man...I can't get past the past and it's all a gas man..
So many memories.damn where has all the years gone!!!!?Most of those bands are my faveorites.god how i miss those times.i was a young teen then.dont think the byrds 8 miles high wasent on there.😢😢😢
The fact that 'Tomorrow never knows' by 'The Beatles' was not on here is shocking.., especially since it's more psychedelic than most of these songs...
What no Donovan? He was one of the biggest psychedelic rock singers of the sixties. Every time I drink a Mellow Yellow I think of that song Mellow Yellow. That’s right Slick.
@@ginnywhat5777 I don’t think he created it but he was a major part of that genre and to leave him out would be like leaving Johnny Cash out of country music.
Check the link below. LOVE was one of the greatest psychedelic bands ever, and FOREVER CHANGES one of the best albums of any era, not just the 60s. To leave it off a list like this is inexcusable.
Damm forgot I have a love lp blue cover is beat tosht. But lp mint seriously haven't played it in decades , damm had to come back cause just remembered a white jacket with love printed kida sideways damm I'm old
Great collection. I realized how much I love psychedelic music even though I was only a little kid when these songs came out. RIP Jimi, Janis, Jim M, John, George H, Dennis, Carl, Ronnie Laine, Brian Jones, Paul K & the other greats who brought us the music. Peace out ✌️
I was living in the US in the 68-69 school year, while all these bands were at their very best! Those were the best times of my life and of all that generation! We were the most privileged people for being part of such musical revolution! I am forever grateful to all those musicians and singers who made our life unique on this planet! Among so many, I would mention Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, The Carpenters, Association, Mamas and Papas, Johnny Rivers
I share your feeling of privilege for living through that music revolution, starting from the British Invasion in late 1963. The next 20 years were an amazing experience, as every form of music that is heard now owes its beginnings to those two magic decades. It all ended, IMO, with the rise of MTV and its role in turning an image-conscious status-climber like Madonna into the next phase of popular music. While fashion was an integral part of popular music in the 20th century, the period from 1984 onwards was dominated as much, and maybe more, by appearance than sound. This doesn't mean a minor musical talent such as Ms. Ciccone is the equivalent of true talents embodied in beautiful people such as Taylor Swift, Gwen Stefani or Adele. When it comes to their place in the current pantheon of popular music, Instagram, Facebook and TH-cam are as essential to their stature as MTV was to Madonna, Michael Jackson and his sister, Janet. I'm not equipped to explore this phenomenon in depth. I'm just an observer who watched something as it happened and is still trying to figure it out. The short story in this overly long comment is having seen all this take place has been an amazing journey, one I truly feel privileged to have experienced. There is so much to it I don't understand that leads me to tagging along on your comment, Paula, in a failed attempt to figure it all out. Apologies for going on this long. Time to listen to Revolver, Strange Days, Electric Ladyland or maybe To Our Children's Children's Children and just enjoy the music.
Trouble with the '60s was that there was so much going on that you couldn't have hoped to assimilate it unless you had stimulated the serotonin sheaths around your neural synapses.
Great mix 🥰 I also think of .... Season Of Loving ~ The Zombies Green Eyed Lady ~ Sugarloaf Country Joe & The Fish - Rock & Soul Music *live at Woodstock HD Fire - The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown Season Of The Witch ~ Donovan The Rain, The Park & Other Things ~ The Cowsills
I’m 37 n I’ve been into trippy music since I was 15 n only a few months ago I found the moody blues !!!! I always loved knights in white but I never got the cd cause we always said we didn’t wanna ruin it soo we’d just wait to hear on the radio. Ahhhh man was I ever pissed days of futures past and the lost chord are now one of my favorite albums ever !!!! (Along w threshold ). Now I’m like trying to find more !!!! 1967 was a amazing time for music holy shit !!!!! The shit nowadays is just untalented garbage!!!!
@@mr.selfdestruct3101 Totally agree with you! I turned 38 last week, same story. The year 1967 is one of the best in music. Very creative musicians in that era. Checkout Procol Harum too. Roflol for your knights instead of nights 😄
Some of my favorite songs period, thank you! I discovered most of these in the 1980s after growing up in the 1970s. We had a treasure trove of 60s material. Now I feel like I'm running out of music to listen to.
Why is Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles not on the list? If anything defines this genre of music, it's that track. The track never ceases to amaze me, fifty years later!!
My father took The Electric Prunes' LP Album Cover, in Los Angeles. I wish they were still playing... Las Vegas is a good annual place to see Famous 1960's Celebrity Artist. Thanks, for the memories!
Pretty good list Nathaniel. Top Lists of songs are very subjective. If I re-made your list here I would include most of these. These were my high school years, so I grew up with this stuff. The one glaring omission is "Legend of a Mind" by The Moody Blues. Mike Pinder is the one who turned on The Beatles to the Mellotron which they used in Strawberry Fields. Just an FYI for you.
I remember all this music on the radio as a kid. It was a golden time for me. Went to EXPO '67 in Montreal, there were hippies all over the place, draft dodgers. What an incredible era - frisbees, mini-super balls, Yo-Yos, toy Tommy guns, and all these teenagers walking around in bright colored clothes, long hair and tie-dyed shirts with flood pants. Wild man.
You must be a fellow Montrealer. I remember the confluence of both the acid/psychedelic youth culture and our cities coming out celebration. It was so much fun. I was just a kid and so impressionable.
Another Montrealer here, and I remember those Expo days like yesterday. Great times and music, the Peace & Love generation was a Tidal Wave, but washed up on Conservative Beaches….too bad, so sad.
Before I started this video, was totally ready to rip on the list for not having Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive," but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they did have "See Emily Play." I'm not saying it redeems whoever made this list for most of the songs on it, but it was a nice surprise.
Woodstock, Santana, The WHO, It's A Beautiful Day, Country Joe, Arlo Guthrey, CSN&Y, Pete Seeger, Ten Years After, Spirit, Led Zep, Buffalo Springfield, MOODY BLUES
Thanks for the "trip" down memory lane. At 72, I can say without a doubt, we grew up with the BEST music!
Damn right we did amigo!
At 73, I am right with you! This was a pretty decent list. It sure brings a lot back even after living so many decades after the fact. But the groove that came alive back in the day never leaves the hearts of those who were there! ✌ I am so happy I was part of it all!
upvoted from a 33 year old, it just felt true and right.
73 and I absolutely agree 100%
69 and loved the music.
Penny Lane is a great song and one of my favorite Beatles songs, but I wouldn’t say that it’s a psychedelic song
NOT A BAD LIST. NO ONE WHO HAS COMMENTED. HAS FAILED TO MENTION BACK THEN MUSIC WAS STILL REGIONAL.
EAST COAST/ WEST COAST SOUND. SO TO PUT EVERYTHING IN A
LIMITED GROUPING. IS UNREALISTIC!!!
F A R-O U T-M A N
I bought the the double ‘A’ 45 disc in 1967 in 🇬🇧 for Strawberry Fields, it was a bonus that Penny Lane was on the other side
It certainly was close to what was consider psychedelic at the time…beside it being the “B” side of one of the ultimate Psychedelic Songs ever released, Strawberry Fields… it all seemed wrapped together when I was listening to back in Jr High Days!
The flip side of the Penny Lane 45 is Strawberry Fields Forever, now that baby is psychedelified !!
“Strawberry Fields” was released on 13 February 1967 as a double A-side single with "Penny Lane"in 🇬🇧
The music of this era (1966-1968) will stand the test of time; there is nothing since then that can hold a candle to it.
Jefferson Airplane Santana Strawberry Alarm Clock
I have a long list. We had a Telefunken with a Phillips reel to reel, and a turn table, HiFi. My dad got it at the PX in Turkey. No TV. It went everywhere with us. I was four. Lots of dancing and singing over the years and surfing radio frequencies. “They don’t make them like that anymore.”
A lot of it was crap. Especially the commercially produced junk.
Yahoo Music used to have a station dedicated to nothing but trippy hippie music and I heard so much I'd never heard before. Sure would like to find the station is still available somewhere.
Actually, there were other tunes that were as great as the tunes of that era. I have been blessed to have been s part of it. LP's such as "Dark Side of the Moon", "Wish you were here", "Abbey Road", Wonderful stuff that will never be seen or heard again....
This is the rock I grew up with. For me, this is the most enjoyable rock genre. So imaginative, full of resources in the grounds of technical discoveries and innovation, the music sounded very original and memorable... I just love it!
The best!
Back in the day. Great time to be growing up. Nothing like it is today. Sometimes I left a night club/bar cause couldn't stand the the well what kids today call music.
@@ArrivedStoned im gen Z and this is my favorite genre
My world changed when I heard Hey Joe Everything changed from grey to psychedelic I’m not finished yet
@@LeviBulger well they did have talent especially compared to todays so called bands or artists, it’s just that Beatles were the obvious band to look up to and record companies were in need of a quick buck so they directed many bands to copy instead of growing their own style. Still, I rather listen to a mediocre Beatles copycat than whatever is on top of the charts today
"She said, she said' is great, but "Tomorrow Never Knows" is the ultimate psychedelic song and should have been included.
I agree but the sound of she said she said is absolutely incredible for a Beatles song, Ringo plays the drums like Mitch Mitchell and the whole feel is so acid inspired, like far out
Tomorrow Never Knows is included in the list but apparently replaced by She Said, She Said.
Tomorrow Never Knows was the first Revolver song recorded, even though it's the last song on the album and sounds as if it's anticipating what was to come out in '67.
Rain by the Beatles is another really great one.
you are right
A lot of these weren't what I would consider 'psychedelic', but I enjoyed your selection anyway.
I was born in the early 50s and I got to see The Beatles on Ed Sullivan that changed my whole life.
I am thankful that I got to be Exposed to all the wonderful music. From rock and roll to psychedelic There wasn't a better time on Earth for music.
I don't listen to a lot of the old Music Anymore Like I Used To but if You WANT your mind to be blown completely away Listen to (Deep Purple sweet child in time) There are so many that I love, Pink Floyd being one of them comfortably numb one of my very very favorites.
Led Zeppelin I can't even begin to start.
You young people have so many choices and so many ways to go it must be wonderful, Look backwards once in a while and see what the freaks were doing Back in the 60s and 70s
You got that right! Born in 1951, I was there in the flesh, like you. There will never be anything like it again. Peace Out my brothers and sisters! ✌✌

Yep I was born 73 years ago next week....and ol Ed Sullivan was great at featuring great Rock & Roll bands.....I actually saw Jimi @ the LA forum back in the 70's!

Being a product of the 60's, I always found it difficult to think of the Beach Boys as a psychedelic band.
They do have a psychedelic period though! Just one listen to the Smile sessions will convince you.
Agreed, No Beach Boys and No, Tommy James.....I do like the Beach Boys, though.
@@b.w.barbee2269 Your right, their surfer tunes from the early/mid 60's were cool, particularly if you were a teen back then. And, yes, Tommy James and the Shondells definitely tried too hard to be hip. Should have stuck to pop.
@@thom-mark6443 The Beach Boys were psychedelic to say the least in Brian's final days as band leader.
From Pet Sounds up to Smiley Smile (some might argue that up to "Surf's Up" the album) they were pioneers in every musical way.
They have plenty of Psychedelic songs post Smile and Smiley-Smile era, "Cool, Cool Water", the albums Friends, they're a great band

Eight Miles High was THE song that really exemplified Psychedelic music for me. Such a great song. All of them were great.
I like this song essentially in the fantastical and psychedelic Roxy Music's revival in their super album 'Flesh and blood' (1980 ), which contains also several other little diamonds, like Wilson Pickett's 'In the midnight hour', for example.
That whole album - Fifth Dimension - is amazing.
I was born in the UK in 1951 and I'm 72 now, I feel privileged to have lived through all of this era in music, it was amazing and it changed the world, that's something...but there's loads more to come ✌
Light my Fire. One of the best songs ever written for us old hippys. Incredible song

JANICE!, GREAT BLUES

One of the earliest and greatest psychedelic songs ever is Season of the Witch by Donovan
...and a great cover by Vanilla Fudge as well!
Groovy Guru & DaveKraft1 ..... And can't leave out what may be the BEST version of 'Season of the Witch' performed by Mike Bloomfield, Al Kooper and Stephen Stills from the incredible album....SUPER SESSION!!
Thanks guys!!
@@larryslemp9698 thats what I remember, Super
Sessions, I can re,member a lot of mornings 3 O'clock, shooting pool, and listening to that album, over and over. Actually didn't know there was any other!

It is a very haunting song. I loved how they used it for the credits roll in "To Die For"..
Take a trip down memory lane. I was a teenager when these songs came out . Now I'm an old man. Time just flew by.
Funny, I was a teenager too, I still feel young thanks to it. I feel like I've lived a million years.

I met Timothy Leary in Las Vegas in the summer of 1994. I recognized him immediately, and when I walked up to him, I was greeted by a gentle human being. I told him that I understood where he was coming from. He smiled at me and told me that I have a sparkling soul. So I got that going for me, which is nice.

@Scott Donnelly "Oh, the snot has caked against my pants;

So was the Animals' "We Gotta Get Out of This Place" while riding out on a chopper.
Oh man , you hit the nail on the head . Only way , I got out of Vietnam was my 2 brothers were either at Tet. or waiting to be deployed . The only good thing that came out of Nam was the music of the era ! It 1966 thru 1971 , was such a turbulent time The assinations , the riots , that fucking war , Woodstock , " underground " music .FM radio beginnings . Sheesh , I'm lucky to have survived . But , the anti -: establishment , protests for peace ..But the music and the music was simply the escape , even our brothers , men waiting to be deployed ....The MUSIC was our escape At least for a little bit . When I hear some of these recordings ,it brings right back to those years .
Me too, but not in a nostalgic way. That son of a bitch Nixon tried to kill me!

I was a HS Sr in '67. It was my first year of college. That 3 yr span between the "Summer of Love" in '67 throughout the turbulent '68 year of an election and the Chicago riots ending with Woodstock in '69 provided some of THE most influential and mindblowing music the world has ever known. It will never be repeated. I doted on all of it.
Same here!
Once-in-a-lifetime Woodstock 🇺🇲 🖤
"White Rabbit" is still one of my favorite songs of all time. That's one trippy ass tune. 😵
Saw the Zen Tricksters do a 10 minute version at the Right Track Inn on Long Island. Jeff wailed on his guitar like I've never seen. Coulda used some acid THAT night! But it was after my druggie days.

I was born in 1960, but the music was a huge part of my upbringing. My parents enjoyed a vast variety of music from southern spirituals, big band, R&B, Motown, TSOP, easy listening 🎧, the British Invasion, JAZZ, swing Rock, Doo Wop, etc. Whatever sounded good, my parents, older sister and brother listened to it! So for me, I listen 👂 to whatever sounds good to me and I don't care who makes it! That said, people have said nice things about the expansion of my mind, while others have questioned my ethnicity and sanity! All I can say is that I am who I am. I like what I like. Others opinions about me don't mean sh*t to me!!! I Love ❤️ Music!!! Music 🎶 is a Sweet Sticky Thing and I wanna Rock and Roll All Nite and party every day!!!
Yes🎼🎶🪄❗❗❗
Jimi Hendrix, the best guitarist ever out of 250 guitarists this year he is still number one and the good news is all of his music is released finally
Moody Blues "Tuesday Afternoon"
I was 6 years old in 1968 but loved that song! 💯
Still one of my very favorites today 2021 😉😎😉
I turned eight in '68 and the song is one of my favorites as well.
I thought exactly the same thing. Where is Tuesday Afternoon?

I am 73 years old. I have been a Moodies fan for over 50 years. I have seen them perform live at least 16 times. Tuesday Afternoon and Nights in White Satin are still my favorites and the whole Question of Balance is still one of my favorite albums.

Yardbirds - Happenings Ten Years Time Ago (1966)
Cream - Tales of Brave Ulysses (1967)
John Mayall's Bluesbreakers - The Supernatural (1967)
TALES OF BRAVE ULYSSES IS THE ULTIMATE PSYCHEDELIC SONG BY THAT GROUP BUT MY FAVORITE WAS THE CHAMBERS BROTHERS TIME HAS COME TODAY AND NOT THE SHORT VERSION BUT THE EXTRA LONG EXTENDED VERSION THAT WAS 14:55 SECONDS LONG.
Weird Old Uncle Kenny : Cream - Tales of Brave Ulysses was featured in Buffy the Vampire Slayer S03E06
You're Gonna Miss Me by 13th Floor Elevators (1966) and Colours by Kaleidoscope (1968) are fantastic psychedelic rock songs
burning of the Midnight Lamp by Hendrix and We Love You by the Stones are classics too
1983 , A Merman I Should Turn to Be. Jimi's most psychedelic song.
Really a great feat incorperating In A Gadda Da Vida in a 12 mins clip ! 😁
I grew up in that era and have to say the music was all about the aural experience of the songs and that's exactly what you are spoiling here !
Great to see The Doors on this list...thank you so much for putting together a great selection of songs.
The Beatles song credited as Tomorrow Never Knows is truly She Said, She Said. Both are from the album Revolver.
@DD dunn ?
@@Manus912 Mr Fernandes is correct. The text says "Tomorrow Never Knows" but the song in the video is "She Said, She Said". Both are on the same album, Revolver, and both are great psychedelic songs.
No time like the 60's & 70's. Music that meant something for love and humanity.............
@DD dunn The resentment impulse strong in this one is.
(Why leave out "Psychotic Reaction" (Count 5), "I Love You" (People) and "I Can See For Miles?" (The Who)
Be well.
I don’t think I’d include the seventies in “music that meant something,” and I can explain why with one word: Disco.
Agree wholeheartedly 💯%😎
I was 12 in 1966 and for about two years this psychedelic music filled my mind (even though I wasn't dropping acid; hell puberty was freaky enough). I loved everything about it, especially how oblique the lyrics could be. For my money, the greatest psychedelic song is "White Room" by Cream
Tomorrow Never Knows
White Rabbit
Also, anything Hendrix. He wrote overt psychedelic and more subtle stuff that slowly revealed itself as such. That’s genius.

That's funny, 'cause there is a lot that I don't remember.
Yeah same here born in 1955..saw it all unfold before my eyes from the Beatles and the British invasion from 1964..
I was in Jr. high when these songs were played on the radio, in 1967 and on. What an amazing time to be alive. Our chant was LOVE PEACE AND HAPPINESS!
What an amazing memory. Yes I sure do miss those days.
☮️❤😊
I was ten years old in 1967. This is the music of my youth. I spent endless hours listening to all of this. Curiously it shaped my love of HEAVY METAL. Arthur Brown is missing here ( Fire). This music got me through a rough childhood.
Me too.. It was a good place to go when everything else was bad
Arthur Brown, Love, and The Zombies are conspicuously missing.
I can’t be the only one wondering where Cream is!
No, I am wondering too
Strange brew should be there

Or CSNY? Just a few from Woodstock...
Tales of the Brave Ulysses?
After Bathing at Baxter’s is such an overlooked album. It’s so good, yet none of the songs on it are widely known.
Also, Tommy James has not gotten the respect in the rock world that he deserves. He’s often just regarded as bubble gum music, but he had some great songs with some great production, which I believe he mixed and arranged.
@Edgar Miller I read his autobiography. Yes, his record company was owned by the mob, but he was never threatened. Others were, but not him. He kept on friendly terms with the owner even though they were stealing from him by not giving him his due royalties. Years later, Roulette was bought out by MCA, and at that point James began to get the royalties he deserved.
Morris Levy, who was the owner on paper of Roulette, always reasoned (wrongly) that the records that his company released made it possible for James to have a lucrative career as a touring artist. Crooks always justify in their heads why they rob and steal.
Absolutely. Best thing the Airplane ever did, not the overplayed White Rabbit and Somebody to Love, and having one of the songs on here is about all that gives this list a little credibility to me. I wore that record out when I was a young teenager in the late 60's and had to replace it twice.
Across the Board by Airplane
Yes indeed, After Bathing at Baxters is often overlooked. The Airplane was my all time fave rave band . Saw them twice back then.

"I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in", Kenny Rogers started out as a rock singer and had a hit with that song with "The First Edition". It was the definition of a psychedelic acid trip.

Chambers Brothers, long version of Time Has Come Today. So good!!!!!
I saw The Chamber Brothers in Dallas I believe in 74 or 75. Great show and Time has Come Today was the encore.
It’s there
Not psychedelic
Saw them in South Lake Tahoe, July 4, 1968. Flamin' Groovies opened the show, then an unknown band called Santana Blues Band warmed up the crowd pretty well. Hitched all the way over to Angel's Camp to see the Chambers Brothers in '75 or so, and I was the only one there. They cancelled the show, refunded my $2.50, and bought me a beer.

The entire album In Search Of A Lost Chord
Pennylane and Crimson and Clover, are great songs, Pennylane is one of the very bests of 1967 but I don't see them psychedelic songs. I'd change them, and put "Astronomy Domine", of Pink Floyd, and Tales of Brave Ulysses, from Cream. The rest is OK.
The six-minute version of "Crimson & Clover" is considered psychedelic.
Crimson and clover is indeed psychedelic. In fact, The author stated that he intentionally evoked psychedelic imagry.
I love "Penny Lane" but I don't see it as psychedelic either.
also Interstellar Overdrive from Pink Floyd 1967, very psychedelic.
Pink Floyd - “Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun”
I was born in 67 but I grew up listening to this music and still do along with the 50's 60's 70s 80s 90's and some of today's
Chambers Brothers Time Has Come is by far the greatest psychedelic soul song of all time.

I'm 80. I was a Hippie in the 60. I turned 15 in 1960. Great music 🎶 🎵.
No 13th Floor Elevators!! Slip Inside This House...Is the most psychedelic song you'll ever come across...just the lyrics of the song send you off onto an amazing trip...Epic song from one of the most underrated bands of the 60's.
Right on! A couple missing: Wind cries Mary, Lemon Pipers' Green Tambourine
As was already commented, without Slip Inside this House, by the 13th Floor Elevators, this list doesn't seem complete. And perhaps,the most trippy of Beatles songs, I Am The Walrus, wasn't included!!! Although, Tomorrow Never Knows, and Lucy in the Sky are... yeah!
And Green Tamborine is a better fit than several songs on this list, maybe... Penny Lane ?
And Where is What Condition My Condition Was In?
Well... it's still a fun list, I gotta admit. I don't need to get crazy critical. So thanks and thumbs up for a really good effort. Take my comments as just suggestions for more great music :)
The elevators were early innovators of head music and never got the credit deserved . The drugs and drug charges contributed to their disappearance from the scene. Finding their original records is getting increasingly difficult,there are some good reproductions but not for all of there albums.
I was going to make the same comment until I saw this .. sadly, not many folks outside of Texas or California even know of the Elevators. But then, no videos of this tune, either, that I know of. R.I.P. Roky…
That song, that album - so unbelievably good and so far advanced compared to anything before or since - I believe it pushed them right over the edge
Most of these AREN"T "Psychedelic" at all - however they're all good.
dave johnson I agree
dave johnson They did a shit job on this.
Actually many are the first generation of songs transitioning from pop to psychedelic so that is still psychedelic but these songs don't seem to include the real generation of psychedelic songs.
Took me back to my childhood but not all of these songs are psychedelic songs.
Beach Boys?? You called that one. But right after that one, was the Beatles. Now I feel better.
Only the Beatles PENNY LANE was not psychedelic -- all the others are!
@@KenPapai
"Within You, Without You" is my top Beatles psych song.
@@gyrgrls The Beach Boys had a fair amount of psychedelic music, Good Vibrations is an earlier psychedelic rock song and if you looks at their Album Smile it is definitely full of psychedelic tracks. While their early stuff isn’t psychedelic I’d say their Post Pet Sounds era in the late 60s had some great and often over looked psychedelic songs
There's such a thing as sunshine psychedelic, like an acid trip with funny things happening.
Any early Pink Floyd album was entirely psychedelic ...Piper at the Gates, Saucerful Full of Secrets, Atom Heart Mother, ...even Meddle

This would have been a more meaningful video if the names of the singer(s)/groups and song titles had been on the screen. Many people from younger generations may be interested in music we had. That includes me because, even though now 74, I missed much of them due to being overseas with the RN and also freelance travel. I do have an almost complete collection of the Moody Blues (and why are they not included in this video), and a friend collects Pink Floyd. In fact, he has everything ever produced, even bootleg recording, and much of their paraphernalia that has come on the open market, including awards like gold records. Oh, well, things will never be the same and the music will never be the same, or as meaningful.
Music came from the heart back then, not from the hype it is today.
Wotdermatter do you know the name of the song right after Itchy coo Park? Might be hermans hermits. Sounds like there saying something like, no one ever touched me like you do.
LOL, the band right after the Small Faces singing "Itchycoo Park" are far from being Herman's Hermit's... they are in fact Status Quo with their very first single "Pictures of Matchstick Men". I don't know how you managed to extract those particular words from it, but it was their first and only success as a "psychedelic" band before they turned into the 4-to-the-floor 12 bar boogie band and churned out highly successful clone copies of their single for the next generation or two.
Pictures of Matchstick Men is a classic and one I consider more psychedelic than many songs on this list. It's the only song I like by The Status Quo.
dude..., thats awesome. ive been Floydian since Umaguma
Hippie music was so groovy in it's day. I lived in the hippie days. Was a fun era. So very different from today . If you lived back then seems like yesterday but so long ago in our minds. The music cars fashion was so very different too. Miss those 1960s cars fashions and music. Sure alot of the hippies out there miss those times too.
fucking millenials ruins the world
Mark david chapman. The fat yankee.nutjob Didn t miss too many times
Yeah the music fashion even the people all was different. The way things were back in the 60's 70's we had it made man, this generation nowadays haven't a clue what it was about then. Nothing can compare to back then man. Psychedelic it was music fashion even the drugs man. Miss the trippy day's man all the Psychedelic shit. Hippie than and now always Barefooted That's my hippie shoe's man lol. Tie Dye and bleached Bell-bottoms with patches it was such a beautiful groovy Era was back than to man.

I LOVE PSYCHEDELIC ROCK! I LOVE PSYCHEDELIC BANDS! I LOVE PSYCHEDELIC ERA!
Malmsteen996 I LOVE PSYCHEDELICS
Malmsteen996 I fucking love LSD sounds
+Dario Scotti what sounds? what the language you fool!!
what are lsd sounds? I did my share of lsd back in the day and never heard that term...but it's all good
Soul is better
So many memories.damn where has all the years gone!!!!?Most of those bands are my faveorites.god how i miss those times.i was a young teen then.dont think the byrds 8 miles high wasent on there.😢😢😢
The fact that 'Tomorrow never knows' by 'The Beatles' was not on here is shocking.., especially since it's more psychedelic than most of these songs...
What no Donovan? He was one of the biggest psychedelic rock singers of the sixties. Every time I drink a Mellow Yellow I think of that song Mellow Yellow. That’s right Slick.
You beat me to it. Hurdy Gurdy Man, Atlantis.
All of us familiar with donavan knows that dude made some great music
Electrical banana
Donovon
@@ginnywhat5777 I don’t think he created it but he was a major part of that genre and to leave him out would be like leaving Johnny Cash out of country music.
Check the link below. LOVE was one of the greatest psychedelic bands ever, and FOREVER CHANGES one of the best albums of any era, not just the 60s. To leave it off a list like this is inexcusable.
I agree, Randall, Love Forever Changes IS TOP TEN albums recorded. just listen to It....
Damm forgot I have a love lp blue cover is beat tosht. But lp mint seriously haven't played it in decades , damm had to come back cause just remembered a white jacket with love printed kida sideways damm I'm old
Fact
How do you figure?? I've got all their albums and only ONE SONG is actually psych!!
@@stevegordon3102 I did, it didn't impress me! Haven't heard it since I bought it!
Just saw this, excellent choices!
Great collection. I realized how much I love psychedelic music even though I was only a little kid when these songs came out. RIP Jimi, Janis, Jim M, John, George H, Dennis, Carl, Ronnie Laine, Brian Jones, Paul K & the other greats who brought us the music. Peace out ✌️
Hello Nina, how are you doing?
You forgot John Lennon? One of the prolific song writers of all time! RIP 🤔🇬🇧👍
@@keen2b ?? take another look mate :-)
I was living in the US in the 68-69 school year, while all these bands were at their very best! Those were the best times of my life and of all that generation! We were the most privileged people for being part of such musical revolution! I am forever grateful to all those musicians and singers who made our life unique on this planet! Among so many, I would mention Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, The Carpenters, Association, Mamas and Papas, Johnny Rivers
It was all to beautiful..wow the colors😃

I share your feeling of privilege for living through that music revolution, starting from the British Invasion in late 1963. The next 20 years were an amazing experience, as every form of music that is heard now owes its beginnings to those two magic decades. It all ended, IMO, with the rise of MTV and its role in turning an image-conscious status-climber like Madonna into the next phase of popular music. While fashion was an integral part of popular music in the 20th century, the period from 1984 onwards was dominated as much, and maybe more, by appearance than sound. This doesn't mean a minor musical talent such as Ms. Ciccone is the equivalent of true talents embodied in beautiful people such as Taylor Swift, Gwen Stefani or Adele. When it comes to their place in the current pantheon of popular music, Instagram, Facebook and TH-cam are as essential to their stature as MTV was to Madonna, Michael Jackson and his sister, Janet. I'm not equipped to explore this phenomenon in depth. I'm just an observer who watched something as it happened and is still trying to figure it out. The short story in this overly long comment is having seen all this take place has been an amazing journey, one I truly feel privileged to have experienced. There is so much to it I don't understand that leads me to tagging along on your comment, Paula, in a failed attempt to figure it all out. Apologies for going on this long. Time to listen to Revolver, Strange Days, Electric Ladyland or maybe To Our Children's Children's Children and just enjoy the music.
Trouble with the '60s was that there was so much going on that you couldn't have hoped to assimilate it unless you had stimulated the serotonin sheaths around your neural synapses.
FirstUsedBooks you had to go for it. I’d give up modernity to live through the 60s and 70s again. What a time to be alive
Great mix 🥰 I also think of ....
Season Of Loving ~ The Zombies
Green Eyed Lady ~ Sugarloaf
Country Joe & The Fish - Rock & Soul Music *live at Woodstock HD
Fire - The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown
Season Of The Witch ~ Donovan

1967 "Just dropped in the see what condition my condition was in" by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition. How could you have missed that one!!!
Anyone else remember the music video on Laugh-In?
Kenny Rodgers? Lololololoo
Kenny Rogers on acid.
If that doesn't scare you straight,
nothing will.
Just ask Jeff Lebowski.
RIP Kenny
An exceptionally creative period for music. I can’t see it happening again.
Moody Blues? Legend of a Mind, Timothy Leary
I’m 37 n I’ve been into trippy music since I was 15 n only a few months ago I found the moody blues !!!! I always loved knights in white but I never got the cd cause we always said we didn’t wanna ruin it soo we’d just wait to hear on the radio. Ahhhh man was I ever pissed days of futures past and the lost chord are now one of my favorite albums ever !!!! (Along w threshold ). Now I’m like trying to find more !!!! 1967 was a amazing time for music holy shit !!!!! The shit nowadays is just untalented garbage!!!!
@@mr.selfdestruct3101 Totally agree with you! I turned 38 last week, same story. The year 1967 is one of the best in music. Very creative musicians in that era. Checkout Procol Harum too. Roflol for your knights instead of nights 😄
Totally agree, one of the great LSD songs. Don't believe there's a better one.
Mrselfdestruct listen to some Traffic and the Nice from that era. There was too much good music to choose from, it was a great time to be young.
If you include Moodys it would have to be Thinking is the Best Way to Travel.
Some of my favorite songs period, thank you! I discovered most of these in the 1980s after growing up in the 1970s. We had a treasure trove of 60s material. Now I feel like I'm running out of music to listen to.
Needs more Jefferson Airplane, the best psychedelic rock band to ever exist
Tied with the Doors imo
One of the Greats!!
JA. Only band from san francisco on the list
Robinson Crusoe nah man, Jimi Hendrix experience
Pink Floyd
Why is Tomorrow Never Knows by The Beatles not on the list?
If anything defines this genre of music, it's that track.
The track never ceases to amaze me, fifty years later!!
Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix are more trippy
Third song on the list misidentified as "Tomorrow Never Knows" (0:49-1:12); is "She Said She Said" clip. Both songs are from "Revolver" album.
not to mention "It's All Too Much"
And Rain of course. Recorded during the Revolver sessions and arguably the first.
The reason is that Google didn't find it in his one hour trip when he thought of doing this video.
My father took The Electric Prunes' LP Album Cover, in Los Angeles. I wish they were still playing... Las Vegas is a good annual place to see Famous 1960's Celebrity Artist. Thanks, for the memories!
That’s awesome!
I love this and could double, triple this list and still leave some real gems out
Pretty good list Nathaniel. Top Lists of songs are very subjective. If I re-made your list here I would include most of these. These were my high school years, so I grew up with this stuff. The one glaring omission is "Legend of a Mind" by The Moody Blues. Mike Pinder is the one who turned on The Beatles to the Mellotron which they used in Strawberry Fields. Just an FYI for you.
I remember all this music on the radio as a kid. It was a golden time for me. Went to EXPO '67 in Montreal, there were hippies all over the place, draft dodgers. What an incredible era - frisbees, mini-super balls, Yo-Yos, toy Tommy guns, and all these teenagers walking around in bright colored clothes, long hair and tie-dyed shirts with flood pants. Wild man.
You must be a fellow Montrealer. I remember the confluence of both the acid/psychedelic youth culture and our cities coming out celebration. It was so much fun. I was just a kid and so impressionable.
Another Montrealer here, and I remember those Expo days like yesterday. Great times and music, the Peace & Love generation was a Tidal Wave, but washed up on Conservative Beaches….too bad, so sad.
I was there to shows every night at Place des Nations saw Procol Harum, The Guess who and Frank Zappa and many others and it was so cheap
Thank you for remembering Syd Barrett, Steve Marriott, and others.
Jimi's Purple Haze is my favourite song on the 1960's . 🎸🎼🎼🎼✨✨✨✨
Before I started this video, was totally ready to rip on the list for not having Pink Floyd's "Interstellar Overdrive," but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they did have "See Emily Play." I'm not saying it redeems whoever made this list for most of the songs on it, but it was a nice surprise.
Omg I remember every one of those songs and loved em all . Great great memories, thank you for posting. I'll need to listen to every song in full now.
La mejor generación musical, los 60's se hicieron obras maestras, que ya son patrimonio cultural de la humanidad...
In my opinion, " Legend of a Mind " by the Moody Blues is pretty psychedelic. 😍
Nights in white satin?
The whole of In Search Of The Lost Chord and a few others.
Hell yes. The song is a trip all by itself.
This is an amazing compilation! The music and the videos! Thanks for posting!
Thanks so much! Glad you think so!
Also worthy mention is the Byrd's I wasn't born to follow, it's literally the theme to easy rider and the entire song is a beautiful trip
Woodstock, Santana, The WHO, It's A Beautiful Day, Country Joe, Arlo Guthrey, CSN&Y, Pete Seeger, Ten Years After, Spirit, Led Zep, Buffalo Springfield, MOODY BLUES
wesome groovy shit man
Anything created by Syd Barrett is heavily psychedelic. He was the king of psychedelia
Syd Vicious?
🤦🏽♂️
