I KNOW THE MEANING OF THIS SONG 🙂 Because one of the Youngbloods studied the Bible and was inspired to write this. A little Blue Book - The Truth that Leads to Everlasting Life (Crystal Blue Persuasion) And I'm 73....and DO remember all that transpired since then. The Future is Now
Best song ever. This video makes me so sad. This was my generation. We had so much hope and enthusiasm, and they squashed it. But it makes me happy too. New Generation, you will take it All the Way this time! Rise up!! ❤💚💙💜🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍💫💫💫💥
Best song ever ? Damn Brenda that is a big statement! My mom and all of her siblings were at Woodstock, so I was like halfway in and half out of you guys, growing up with all the hippies. The decade was like none ever, before and after. So much killing and civil rights, Vietnam, etc. You guys had a big problem on your hands. But too many people were not true hippies, and that is one reason the movement never got much done. Too many that were around for the drugs and not the issues. Sad, we will never see that again. Don`t think for a second that these kids today will do anything but bury their face in their phones. They don`t even talk face to face. They communicate via computer. And not one would last a single week without the comfort of their devices. I doubt you could find one who could start a fire or skin an animal, unless they are from Montana or Alaska.
I got another comment for you. Your movement had the right idea, but it never physically ever got anything done because you were all to busy stoning instead of physically removing the evil running the country and world. That's exactly what the social engineering of Tavistock was all about. Destroy the family structure, get the youth corrupted to drugs and "free will" really meaning anything goes right to satanic shit. The 60's revolution of the hippie movement was flawlessly the hidden agenda of communism. That's why it failed, the very thing you resented actually headed up the movement you followed to mislead you. Just listen to what Frank Zappa had to say all about this. That's why Frank spoke up against it all. The peace movement was a social engineered movement to see to it the youth never got physical. The peace and love everybody bullshit allowed evil to stay in power. Perfect marketing scheme. Because of the failure of the movement of the 60's That's why not just the US but the world is in the precidiment it is in now.
Amen! Sister, we are on the same wave. This is my generation too. All people of every age around the world are enslaved and do not understand what has been going on. The manipulation and misdirection, lies, deceit, thievery and murder of the masses is out in the open for all to see. There is no shame in the elites copratocracy conspiracy against us ALL. I am hoping to begin a world wide movement to happen on Jan. 6, 2024 where the whole world unites on that day to gather at their local, state and national courthouses to lock arms in peace and solidarity for freedom from enslavement, freedom to retain out unalienable rights and stop the corruption against all people by the evil ones. I just think no one knows what to do. Everyone is afraid and thinks they cannot do anything now that it's gotten this far. I think Jan 6 will be as good as any other day foe the world to gather together and change thus mess. What do you think? We HAVE to do something!
Those days are never gone, as long as we remember them, enjoy them, and share their memories with each other. “Smile on yer brother!” Thanks for being here now.
This is my generation 💓 I was so sure we were changing the world... That peace and love would become the truest way of living... I still love my hippie lifestyle and teach my children and grandchildren about the path I've chosen and hopefully they will carry on the torch 💖🌈🌎🙏🌎🌈💖
Bless you, You did your part to awaken the masses. The? Devils evil is so strong. You won the battle. Not. Much Further. ❤😂 Love to have a beer with you
This song brings tears to my eyes This is how I wish everyone in the world felt about each other This song holds a lot of truth Truly the song that is needed to heal our world today Try to love one another right now We are just a moments sunlight fading in the grass So true Let's be peaceable with everyone and never let the sun set angry with anyone I wish people would just stop the madness and really reach out to each other Come on people smile on your brother, everybody get together and try and love one another
Mariska yes I agree people need to love one another,were Americans we need to have each other's backs! I hate what's become of the human race,so so sad!!!
We should all flood our social media with music like this. Road to shambala Peace Train Love Train What the world needs now is love sweet love. That's the one thing there's just too little of. ❤❤❤
Once a Hippie, Always a Hippie, It becomes their lifestyle forever... Which it too cool... Love everything about their style, Their music is awesome.. You can just look at someone and you can see they were into the woodstock generation... I have a brother that is 65 and nothing in his life has changed, Still has the long hair, Now his hair is silver... Same style of shoes he wore back in the hippie days..., Love and Peace ,Carefree is what they believe in ...
You must not be aware. In 69 the Vietnam war was raging...and had 500 000 servicemen and women there...and most not their choice. There were riots, black protests everywhere, drugs and street people were proliferating, etc. It was as close to revolution that this country saw in modern times. Woodstock was an absolute disaster for the planners...and the farmers that got their land trampled and trashed. Music was excellent but the world was in absolute turmoil.
I think of this song every Christmas, and no matter what your religion is, the gift of love can't be rapped up and placed under a tree, or sent in the mail. Love & hugs and prayers are, and shall forever remain free.... For eternity 💖
Not only does the song bring tears to me eyes...but all of the video footage does. I feel like I missed the boat in life. What a once in a lifetime event. Not only that...but the whole era of the 1960s...the hippie era...the flower child...it was something very special...never to be seen again. I also see each and every person in this video and I wonder where they are today if they are still alive. I have gone to the Bethel woods Museum twice and sat out in the bowl and got stoned in the middle of the field...and just sat there and imagined. I turned 5 years old on August 17th, 1969. I had my motorcycle and I rode around the whole area up around White Lake...and I stayed in Monticello. If I had gone, I would have walked for miles if I had to!! ZI would have loved talking and hollering to everyone along the way! I would have tripped and loved the rain. I would have slid through the mud! I would have skinny dipped down there at the bottom in the little river that is still there. I would have seized every moment. I know I would have realized just how special it was and I would be relishing the memory the rest of my life. For those of you that lived it...man, you are so lucky!! Wow...
There was so much togetherness in the 1960s. I know it wasn't all great for many who went to war and lost their lives and for that, I feel terrible. But, the era had many people out and about and getting involved. I love the Summer of love in 1967. I would have gone to San Fransisco!! Man... Everyone hung out. Look at today...fucking 2022...dead and empty uptowns everywhere...today fucking sucks...I hate to be negative...but what a difference. This is one of the big reasons whu I cry. I have a good life...and shouldn't complain I guess...but man...I did miss the boat...I wish that boat would somehow come back...
I remember a time when almost 500,000 of us folks got together and became one... We shared our food, water and Love... As my good friend Bright Hawk reminds us in song; We have the power within us to make a better world, it's called Love... And, as another song, from my father's generation, reminds us; "We did it before (at Woodstock) we'll do it again": change the would for the better. Be mindful, feel peace in your heart for all of our fellow Earthlings and "be the change you want to see in the world"...
The biggest obstacle we have to, 'LIVING', Woodstock, is the mainstream media propaganda machine. Their biggest goal is to turn every one of us against each other.
This love song is truly an iconic anthem for a generation that I wish would inspire ours now! The Youngbloods didn't write it, but they adapted it brilliantly with a uniquely SPIRITUAL essence.
I'm profoundly disappointed with humanity's colossal FAILURE as stewards of Planet Earth & Mother Nature. But when I hear songs like this, I'm reminded there are enough compassionate people to keep hope alive ❤💥@@suemccann2010
LYRICS: Love is but a song we sing Fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Though the bird is on the wing And you may not know why Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Some may come and some may go He will surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment's sunlight Fading in the grass Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now If you hear the song I sing You will understand, listen You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at your command Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now I said, come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now
God, I miss the good old days. I was raised in Upstate NY, but alas, I was a sheltered 13 yo and did not attend Woodstock. BUT Woodstock was one of the most awesome things to ever happen. All subsequent Woodstocks have been money based. Woodstock was the long weekend of peace, love and music. Long live Woodstock!
This is just perfection. I keep coming back this video. I just fuckin' love it, the Youngbloods version of this song with the exquisite editing of the encapsulation of the spirit of the Woodstock festival just makes this video a masterpiece for me. I salute you sir! God bless ✌🏼☮🌈
It was a time and place like no other and since then! It was not just about PEACE and LOVE, as important as these virtues are. It was a defining moment in history when young men and women “got together” with a voice and message
I graduated high school in 1969, went to Europe in '70 and remember seeing the Woodstock movie in Amsterdam... great memories and the best music ever!!
Love is but a song to sing Fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Though the bird is on the wing And you may not know why Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now Some may come and some may go We shall surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment's sunlight Fading in the grass Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now If you hear the song I sing You will understand (listen!) You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at your command Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now I said, come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now Right now Right now
It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era - the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run... but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant... There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning... And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply PREVAIL. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave... So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high water mark - that place where the wave finally broke, and rolled back. Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
"Get Together" (originally by The Kingston Trio) Love is but a song we sing Fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Though the bird is on the wing And you may not know why Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Some may come and some may go He will surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment's sunlight Fading in the grass Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now If you hear the song I sing You will understand, listen You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at your command Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now I said come on, people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another right now Right now Right now Writer(s): JESSE COLIN YOUNG AZLyrics
We need a counter culture full of peace love and freedom again where is this generation’s Woodstock and summer of love and flower children. We’ve become to divided on what social issue is most important but to conquer all these issues we need love. ☮️❤️
I was so p.oed , I paid 24 dollars for tickets , sat forever on the NY State Freeway and when we got to Woodstock they weren't even taking tickets anymore. (That was an ounce of weed)
I was born in 1965 so I was never really "there" in the 1960s much less the hippie generation, but I grew up close to the Woodstock concert site in similar rural surroundings and my parents were open-minded and liberal enough for me to appreciate the lifestyle and ideals of the counterculture. As a nature-loving, outdoorsy kid (and as a child of the 70s), I certainly agree with others of my own generation about the sad lack of character of the current younger generation. I would call it "Generation AI" because it's so much about the glorification of artificiality rather than strengthening a connection to reality, which is the goal of any healthy individual or society. But I can also see why the hippie movement of the 1960s inevitably failed. Ultimately the reasons were rooted in a similar tendency to avoid reality and the responsibilities that go with it. Put more simply, hippies were too "groovy" for their own good, and getting "back to the garden" of Eden - as beautiful and seductive a dream as it was - could only have led to excessive hedonism and the chaos and dysfunction that lurked in that garden like the equally inevitable snake. One can see the symptoms of that inherent cultural defect at the end of the concert in the original Woodstock documentary. I'm referring to the vast field of trash that was left after the "groovy" crowds left. Their garden of Eden-wannabe had quickly become a landfill because nobody wanted the responsibility of dealing with their own "baggage" - they just wanted to have a good time. Like the very word "intoxicating" it contained the root word "toxic". They also didn't want to pay the admission price, which is why it was declared a free concert early on because the huge number of freeloaders gave the organizers no choice. The concert was also terribly organized and under-prepared, which left the feeding of the crowds mostly to the "square" establishment figures in the nearest village. Even the "big bad" US military had to fly critical supplies in. All of that was the reality that the collective hippie fantasy couldn't push aside for long. In the documentary there's also the light of reality shined by a charismatic young vagabond from a commune who himself saw through the hedonistic daydreams of the concertgoers to the conclusion that "they don't know how to live." Although he himself didn't pay the admission price, he instinctively saw the fatal flaw in not paying the “admission price” of responsibility that must be paid before one can enter into the deeper, enduring fulfillment of true adulthood. How then, does one live? Obviously there's a different specific answer for everyone, as long as they're living from their best self. But there's a general truth for everyone whether we like it or not - With Freedom Comes Responsibility. The counterculture of the 1960s was an experiment in trying to break that rule of life, and it could only have failed. In the final analysis, “the garden” in question wasn't the Garden of Eden. It was the garden of childhood. And every hippie in their own private way ultimately encountered those “angels with fiery swords" blocking our way back. In that fact lies the connection between the "better generation" of the 60s and this current generation of young people living in their own dreamworld...albeit a less inspired one. Because this current generation is attempting their own experiment in not growing into responsible adults, more heavily using technology but still heavily using drugs. What they're going to find in the end is what the 60s generation found - that without responsibility, real freedom can't survive for long and real fulfillment as their real selves can't take root in the first place. It reminds me of lines from a poem by Samuel Coleridge…. “And would you learn the spells that drowse my soul? Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve, And hope without work cannot live.”
Pretty good read...I was right in the midst of it...born in 54...yeah it was a dream. ..I often wonder where the mindset disappeared too...sucked up in the rat race you just couldn't avoid.. thanks for your post.
Chester "Chet" Powers AKA Dino Valenti wrote this. Youngblood's made it a hit. Dino is the guy who sang Fresh Air w/Quicksilver Messenger Service among other great QMS songs. He did prison time, some in Folsom State for marijuana possession.
One of my pleas to this planet in 2019. Some how we have lost track of what is important ✌ We live together or all die. My last video just happens to be about the Woodstock dream an what happened
In the early 1960's, concerts were still small, maybe a couple thousand people. You could always get right up front, see the bands up close. Woodstock, phenomenon that it was, ruined that. The fans started thinking of themselves as a feature in an extravaganza . After Woodstock, the small venues disappeared and stadiums and arenas started packing in people by the tens of thousands. Ahh, Progress...lol.
@@That70sGuitarist . . My reply was directed in a humorous way to @MahonMacRi after he claimed this version of the song was Anne Murray singing it. Sorry for any confusion. Also, I'm a lifetime non-smoker.
@@arthurblackhistoric That 70's Guitarist and Mahon MacRi are the same person. Yeah, I was wrong...so I take it that's a solid "no" to "whatever I'm smoking?"🤣

even though this was their biggest hit,they supposedly grew to hate this song.one of the bad things about having hit records is that you have to perform them endlessly.
WRONG! This is an iconic anthem for a generation that ANY artists--including the Youngbloods--would be PROUD of! This post is BOGUS! It redirects TH-camrs to an INSECURE site (embedded link in blue); it should be REMOVED!
Didn't we have high hopes for love and peace? I feel that we really fucked it up and got off the path. Maybe 2021 will be a reenergizing of that path and consciousness. So it will be.
My mom and my uncle and aunt with a few friends went to Woodstock, leaving me home with my Grandparents, I was 2 yrs old. My uncle Andy had just go back from Vietnam, where he was an engineer, blowing up the enemy and disarming ordinance and booby traps as a Marine. I cannot believe what this scene must have been for him after the horror that is war. And the Vietnam War at that. He will NEVER talk about the war, to this day. &^%$$# up.
@@oliver1111100 Regretfully millions were deceived and now heading in the wrong direction. Hope they Wake up before its to late. Getting up late so playing catch up
My God. All the people in this video are in their 70s, 80's or dead. Glad to still be here in 2023 enjoying this amazing time and music.
still 'trucking' and straightening the road for my grandbabies and got a lot of love to give! almost 70 here!

What a beautiful song. We need stuff like this right now in 2024
What do you mean? You can buy dope all over the place today. Stop showering and going into work and it's 1969 all over again.
And in 2022
We need things like this in the current climate. Happy Times is slowly fading away😢
Hey son this is the music I grew up to.
I am watching this December 2023 ❤

This song brings tears to my eyes
This is how I wish everyone in the world felt about each other
This song holds a lot of truth
Truly the song that is needed to heal our world today
Try to love one another right now
We are just a moments sunlight fading in the grass
So true
Let's be peaceable with everyone and never let the sun set angry with anyone
I wish people would just stop the madness and really reach out to each other
Come on people smile on your brother, everybody get together and try and love one another
Mariska, such beautiful words, and so true. keep the faith, peace and love,
I was @ Woodstock! I still have love,peace & kindness in my heart! It’s out there,you just have to look for it!👏🏿🤎🖤🧡💚💜🦋🌈
Mariska yes I agree people need to love one another,were Americans we need to have each other's backs! I hate what's become of the human race,so so sad!!!
WHY can't we be more like this NOW????? Has everybody forgotten??? why can't we remember peace & love, the ultimate human response??
Because we are run by hungry greedy sick people.
We should all flood our social media with music like this.

Im still the old hippie myself and very proud of it
Good for him,go Guy !!!
Yes, much less hate. Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
How much we need this peace and unity today.

Amen brother, especially now in 2023 this world has gone sooooo crazy it's making me dizzy!! I agree with you're comment 💯
I'm profoundly disappointed with humanity's colossal FAILURE as stewards of Planet Earth & Mother Nature. But when I hear songs like this, I'm reminded there are enough compassionate people to keep hope alive ❤💥@@suemccann2010
A short moment of blessings in the summer of our lives.
LYRICS:
Love is but a song we sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go
He will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand, listen
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
I said, come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
This is the vibe that needs to return
We need this song more than ever
WE DO HOLD THE KEY 🗝
God, I miss the good old days. I was raised in Upstate NY, but alas, I was a sheltered 13 yo and did not attend Woodstock. BUT Woodstock was one of the most awesome things to ever happen. All subsequent Woodstocks have been money based. Woodstock was the long weekend of peace, love and music. Long live Woodstock!
This is just perfection. I keep coming back this video. I just fuckin' love it, the Youngbloods version of this song with the exquisite editing of the encapsulation of the spirit of the Woodstock festival just makes this video a masterpiece for me. I salute you sir! God bless ✌🏼☮🌈
Me too! Bring back this song and all of Woodstock now in this era of great new exciting galactic light that’s changing everyone
We need this again !
This is what we're doing Now Again bringing the LOVE 💕💕💕
So wish I grew up in the Woodstock era. All the great great music there would have been amazing to see live
I did!!!
I was born in 2003 I’m young as fuck i wish I could of seen all of this amazing music live 😢
I did
It was...
It was. It truly was a special time.
I was born that year. But when I heard this song...I begin to smile, and I feel like I have been catapulted into the midst of all those people.. 💙😭
One of the top 5 greatest songs
What a vice
❤ Nice Song
It was a time and place like no other and since then! It was not just about PEACE and LOVE, as important as these virtues are.
It was a defining moment in history when young men and women “got together” with a voice and message
I graduated high school in 1969, went to Europe in '70 and remember seeing the Woodstock movie in Amsterdam... great memories and the best music ever!!
They're still on tour, and I've seen them before and will again this Saturday
Probably my favorite song ever! The only thing that makes me sad here is the mess left behind. My generation....
Beautiful song that brings tears to my eyes. What the world needs is love and
true love comes from God and His Son Jesus.
I love this friggin' song!!!
Hey Julio! Fantastic Stuff!
Such a beautiful song.
Love is but a song to sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Some may come and some may go
We shall surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand (listen!)
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
I said, come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now
Right now
Right now
So proud to be a part of this generation,was (15) years old ,that Summer,09/02/1954
God left us 😢
Very well put together
I can't ever see videos of Woodstock without thinking 'there's not a single portapotty in the whole damn place."
It seems like a lifetime, or at least a Main Era - the kind of peak that never comes again. San Francisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run... but no explanation, no mix of words or music or memories can touch that sense of knowing that you were there and alive in that corner of time and the world. Whatever it meant...
There was madness in any direction, at any hour. You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning...
And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply PREVAIL. There was no point in fighting - on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave...
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high water mark - that place where the wave finally broke, and rolled back.

So beautifull❣..and now without drugs 🦋🗽🐚
Wow the music was great. Incredible back then
Michael Lang is a genius. No one else could have made this happen. We are all in his debt.
Aquela janela aberta,me recorda movimentos de uma geração que tentou.
play it again Sam, lol
Gives me hope ❤️
Woodstock, nice memories!
Try playing San Francisco by Scott McKenzie in the background. That song also tells this story.
Scott was my face. I still wear flowers
the world would be a better place if we had the attitudes of back then, not the mess it is today

Great song, Thanks for posting ! : )

Beautiful.song
love this
We need a counter culture full of peace love and freedom again where is this generation’s Woodstock and summer of love and flower children. We’ve become to divided on what social issue is most important but to conquer all these issues we need love. ☮️❤️
I was so p.oed , I paid 24 dollars for tickets , sat forever on the NY State Freeway and when we got to Woodstock they weren't even taking tickets anymore. (That was an ounce of weed)
I was born in 1965 so I was never really "there" in the 1960s much less the hippie generation, but I grew up close to the Woodstock concert site in similar rural surroundings and my parents were open-minded and liberal enough for me to appreciate the lifestyle and ideals of the counterculture.
As a nature-loving, outdoorsy kid (and as a child of the 70s), I certainly agree with others of my own generation about the sad lack of character of the current younger generation. I would call it "Generation AI" because it's so much about the glorification of artificiality rather than strengthening a connection to reality, which is the goal of any healthy individual or society.
But I can also see why the hippie movement of the 1960s inevitably failed. Ultimately the reasons were rooted in a similar tendency to avoid reality and the responsibilities that go with it. Put more simply, hippies were too "groovy" for their own good, and getting "back to the garden" of Eden - as beautiful and seductive a dream as it was - could only have led to excessive hedonism and the chaos and dysfunction that lurked in that garden like the equally inevitable snake.
One can see the symptoms of that inherent cultural defect at the end of the concert in the original Woodstock documentary. I'm referring to the vast field of trash that was left after the "groovy" crowds left. Their garden of Eden-wannabe had quickly become a landfill because nobody wanted the responsibility of dealing with their own "baggage" - they just wanted to have a good time. Like the very word "intoxicating" it contained the root word "toxic".
They also didn't want to pay the admission price, which is why it was declared a free concert early on because the huge number of freeloaders gave the organizers no choice. The concert was also terribly organized and under-prepared, which left the feeding of the crowds mostly to the "square" establishment figures in the nearest village. Even the "big bad" US military had to fly critical supplies in. All of that was the reality that the collective hippie fantasy couldn't push aside for long.
In the documentary there's also the light of reality shined by a charismatic young vagabond from a commune who himself saw through the hedonistic daydreams of the concertgoers to the conclusion that "they don't know how to live." Although he himself didn't pay the admission price, he instinctively saw the fatal flaw in not paying the “admission price” of responsibility that must be paid before one can enter into the deeper, enduring fulfillment of true adulthood.
How then, does one live? Obviously there's a different specific answer for everyone, as long as they're living from their best self. But there's a general truth for everyone whether we like it or not - With Freedom Comes Responsibility. The counterculture of the 1960s was an experiment in trying to break that rule of life, and it could only have failed. In the final analysis, “the garden” in question wasn't the Garden of Eden. It was the garden of childhood. And every hippie in their own private way ultimately encountered those “angels with fiery swords" blocking our way back.
In that fact lies the connection between the "better generation" of the 60s and this current generation of young people living in their own dreamworld...albeit a less inspired one. Because this current generation is attempting their own experiment in not growing into responsible adults, more heavily using technology but still heavily using drugs. What they're going to find in the end is what the 60s generation found - that without responsibility, real freedom can't survive for long and real fulfillment as their real selves can't take root in the first place. It reminds me of lines from a poem by Samuel Coleridge….
“And would you learn the spells that drowse my soul?
Work without hope draws nectar in a sieve,
And hope without work cannot live.”
Pretty good read...I was right in the midst of it...born in 54...yeah it was a dream. ..I often wonder where the mindset disappeared too...sucked up in the rat race you just couldn't avoid.. thanks for your post.
Chester "Chet" Powers AKA Dino Valenti wrote this. Youngblood's made it a hit.
Dino is the guy who sang Fresh Air w/Quicksilver Messenger Service among other great QMS songs.
He did prison time, some in Folsom State for marijuana possession.
love this video!
Have a good day productions
Times were so much better then.
wir waren sooooooo jung !!!!!!!!!!!!👍✌💪
The Perfect example of the opposite of social distancing.
♥
When smoking and enjoying weed was simply fun with no violence.
One of my pleas to this planet in 2019. Some how we have lost track of what is important ✌ We live together or all die. My last video just happens to be about the Woodstock dream an what happened
✌
We live together and die, We live apart and survive.

In the early 1960's, concerts were still small, maybe a couple thousand people. You could always get right up front, see the bands up close. Woodstock, phenomenon that it was, ruined that. The fans started thinking of themselves as a feature in an extravaganza . After Woodstock, the small venues disappeared and stadiums and arenas started packing in people by the tens of thousands. Ahh, Progress...lol.
Come on, people now!
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Rock on!!
Who is here in Mar 22? Make me smile video helps broken collar bone feel better.😊✌️
What happened 😞?

Nixon the draft & war… if your into sci Fi … watch the episode 1969 of Stargate SG1
I'm fairly certain this is actually the Anne Murray version. Love her or hate her, there's no mistaking the dulcet tones of her voice!
Nope, are you trolling? Jesse Colin Young and the Youngbloods are singing & playing this song.
Whatever you're smokin' . . . pass it over here! LOL.
@@arthurblackhistoric What I'm smoking is Drum Premier tobacco handrolled in ZigZag whites...are you sure you want it?🤣
@@That70sGuitarist . . My reply was directed in a humorous way to @MahonMacRi after he claimed this version of the song was Anne Murray singing it. Sorry for any confusion. Also, I'm a lifetime non-smoker.
@@arthurblackhistoric That 70's Guitarist and Mahon MacRi are the same person. Yeah, I was wrong...so I take it that's a solid "no" to "whatever I'm smoking?"🤣
both my parents were there
I was born too late

It really isn't that hard just let go of the things in your mind that drag you down . Be nice.
even though this was their biggest hit,they supposedly grew to hate this song.one of the bad things about having hit records is that you have to perform them endlessly.
WRONG! This is an iconic anthem for a generation that ANY artists--including the Youngbloods--would be PROUD of!
This post is BOGUS! It redirects TH-camrs to an INSECURE site (embedded link in blue); it should be REMOVED!
🖤
I'm glad Woodstock happened when it did, if it happened today, the mainstream media would ruin it for everyone that didn't attend.
I want to say also that there was no violence - guns etc. it was All about love and peace and getting along. No race color sex Just people
Now this is super important…….
Seattle peace
Didn't we have high hopes for love and peace? I feel that we really fucked it up and got off the path. Maybe 2021 will be a reenergizing of that path and consciousness. So it will be.
Mistitled (not them playing live).
Just knowing that over half of these people were voting for Reagan in 1984 makes me optimistic about the future.
My mom and my uncle and aunt with a few friends went to Woodstock, leaving me home with my Grandparents, I was 2 yrs old. My uncle Andy had just go back from Vietnam, where he was an engineer, blowing up the enemy and disarming ordinance and booby traps as a Marine. I cannot believe what this scene must have been for him after the horror that is war. And the Vietnam War at that. He will NEVER talk about the war, to this day. &^%$$# up.
what baffles me is how that era (there are those that are still alive) can be the total opposite of what they preached .
Just like 99% of all religious people. It's easier said than done.
This is everyone's Grandparents. Think on that.
No it's not, it's only the millennials grandparents. My grandparents were both already dead before Woodstock happened.
Magari esserci stato
