Music thread for all you old hippies (vanity, oh yeah)

some former hippie

[West Texas Chuck]

Who among us used to be one of those long-haired flea-infested dope-smoking denizens of the rock concert world?

Guilty. And recovered.

Post up some old tunes for a Saturday night.

No wonder they doped up...yuck!

The Alarm Clocks “Yeah” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8RcCYYW-e8

Hard to believe that Ed King, one of the founding members of Lynyrd Skynyrd came from The Strawberry Alarm Clock.

Like the Dead and others, some stuff just doesn’t come across with the same panache on recordings. Try

Like it...good one.

It’s actually good to see that some of the members of the legendary one hit wonder bands survived, continued and thrived.

Including the now-forgotten pioneers of the ‘San Francisco sound’, The Charlatans:

Ahhh, so that's the reason why they had to refer to the early 90s British band as the "Charlatans UK".

“142 post and no Purple Haze. You all missed the party. :-}”

I liked “The Wind Cried Mary” even more ;)

Tangerine Dream - “Bathtub Session,” filmed 1969 in the ruins at Potsdamer Platz. Very artsy period piece, good quality, the visuals are nice.

The lovely Judith Durham and the Seekers later in their career doing a great Buddy Holly cover.

Came on the scene way too late to be a hippie but I think 70's music was the best musical era. I've been listening to Van Morrison station quite a bit on Pandora lately and heard this song for the first time only a few days ago, and it's gem. Morrison is a musical poet and sadly overlooked by many. Their loss, though.

I guess I was a hippie before being a hippie was cool.

As you can probably tell I love Judith Durham and the Seekers.

Here’s “Georgy Girl” from 1967 not exactly hippie but an entirely beautiful voice from the hippie era.
