Missed out hell, Werner. I did six road trips to Florida, and a summer in the Alps returning on Swissair with five purloined sticks of dynamite in my checked bag!
Those were the days alright.

Yes, I know these dates Walleye.
I was there in the height ashbery and saw many hippy's.
They gave me the "look".
One hippy thought he was God. He tried to stop the commuter train by standing in the middle of tracks. He gave the train the "Look".
He failed ......

ya, ya, ya, we all know what happened.. BUT, a lot of good things and thoughts happened too, and the possibilities coming out of that time pointed the way to a new direction.
There were things that were real bummers, bad things... but not uncommon when you get those sorts of excess.
All in all, I think it was a good thing.

Yes, just see how far we've come as of present day because of hippy daze.
Everyone happy and blissful.
Things are so much better now.

THAT argument could go on ad nauseum.
Bottom line; gain some situational awareness and adapt or die.

About Altamont, I thought it was Sympathy For the Devil they were playing, at least that's what it showed in the movie. Keith playing on oblivious until Mick made him stop. Unless they killed another dude too. Always thought it was just the one guy.
I was five in 67, but I'd already heard Revolver and liked it a lot.

I don't want to get into an arguement with Werner, but I would say that interest in eastern philosophies were a part of the whle 60's scene... you can argue that it wasn't very serious, but it did initiate serious thought.

I thought for sure this thread would flush out some stories and pictures, and that Karl or somebody would earnestly tell us "Peace!"

40 years ago I made the first free ascents of Try Again and Coexistence. They were the hardest climbs in the Gunks for 15 minutes until Stannard did Foops.

40 years ago, maybe not, today, I climbed the hardest climbs I'd done till then. Just conjecture, cause I think, you probably climb harder at 10, then earlier.
But I remember, for sure, my mom talking about how wierd it was that there was a song on the radio about a yellow submarine.

The Lucy of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" has now been identified. For many years, some have suggested it was simply a thinly veiled way to say "LSD", i.e. acid. John Lennon, the other Beatles, and others involved have said it was named after a painting by John's young son Julian.
It turns out that Julian Lennon had a classmate named Lucy Vodden. Ms. Vodden says the painting was of her, and that Julian simply invented the name in response to his father's queries.
I have a collection of fine art by young nieces and nephews, and friend's children, and it seems plausible to me.

Irregardless, the fab four were still tripping their balls off the whole time. Funny coincidence? I think not....

Looking forward to a good listen.
However, I purchased the album as a 10 year old and listened to it pretty much as my only album for 2 or three years so still a little burned out on it. Might not be willing to invest the time and money in the new release.
SPLHCB Reprize still the essence of heavy metal. Perhaps the very earliest manifestation.

Sorry Anders, but I'm hijacking this thread slightly because I'm going to see Roger Waters at the Tacoma Dome on the 24th.
While the Beatles were in Studio II at Abbey Road recording Sgt. Peppers, Pink Floyd were next door recording Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Apparently both groups had some affect on each other and their music was influenced accordingly.
I only wish I could have been there.................

50 years! Hard to say that, ( for me ) It's been a main stay ( for me )
Harder still to take,
is the lengths that them that owns the rights to the music,
have gone to stop US residents from having the whole album . . . .
Am I wrong about that?
