Daevid had a massive impact on my life. Possibly my biggest influence. I truly grieved when he died but his music and poetry lives on, hopefully influencing future generations.
I listened to his music all of my life , he gave me so much pleasure, and was lucky enough to chat with him on numerous occassions. A 20th century giant who had a massive part in shaping the way I am. Greatly missed.
Daevid was an extraordinary artist. All his records were unique & he had a big effect on others including collaborators. He was not afraid to speak his mind either. We really could do with more artists like him when you see the way things have gone.
Daevid was absolutely wonderful & innovative, yes admittedly totally of his head most times, but still a relevant force these days.
goddamnit i wish gong was more of a cultural hit so we could get plenty of memes and videos like these. That's what you get for listening to space psych prog jazz rock..
Loved this guy, and still do. Experimental jazz rock, may his god be with him,
A really underated freak of the highest order.
Piękne lekarstwo na te zwariowane czasy ♥️

Could you possibly imagine if Daevid Allen and Syd Barrett had ever collaborated?
i remember reading somewhere that daevid is what syd wouldve been, had he not taken so much acid
the two were definitely similar in their eccentricities and musical talent
@@brennenrigley I have also heard that Daevid Allen learned his glissando guitar technique from Syd Barrett.
of course! its always fascinating to learn how all the musicians of the london 60s-70s underground influenced each another
he truly was 'far out' & much missed ❤
Daevid Allen était un OVNI , RIP Daevid...
R.I.P. Daevid

Looks like Rolf Harris on mescaline.

Hi
Saw him perform many wonderful gigs...but Daevid Allen was a human like us all. He got very angry when his violinist fell off stage one night and the whole audience laughed their heads off. One of my best mates bumped into him one night at a bar in Glastonbury and said "I just want to say how much I love your....." and before he even had the time to finish his sentence Daevid Allen turned his back on him and walked away. Om. We both thought that was quite funny. Never meet your Zeros.
Hi there Gong fans. I watched this.
Not sure about this medley. It fails to put Daevid's artistry in any context apart from a sort of nutcase
well thats the point, is it not
the compilation isnt meant to be all of daevid allen in every circumstance and context
its just clips of him being a goofball
i love daevid and the gong family because of how odd and silly they and their music are
tosseur
And this kiddos is why you say 'NO' to drugs!
4:48 nice
