that clip is from a CBS documentary, circa 1967, called "The Hippie Temptation." Narrated by Harry Reasoner, who usually had better sense, as I recall.
It's about half an hour long. Let's just say it will probably provoke mixed emotions.
thankx, mary
Harry Reasoner... thankx. I was going nuts trying to place the voice.
Thanks Marye!!!!!!
Im searching for the whole thing as we speak.....

check you local public library
dude,
check you local public library, if they have a video lending library, sometimes you would be amazed at what you will find...
or if you have access to a big city University library...
good luck, if you find it, please send me a private message.
thanks,
CC Joe
it's online too
I think I found about a dozen versions of it on YouTube but that was a while ago.
For some reason all the online versions I've seen are very purple.
hmmm
marye,
any idea of the search tags you used? could you please find the vid again and embed it here or post up the tiny urls (see I'm learning) to the link.
I searched on youtube right after I first saw the vid, but couldn't find it, then I searched again using Hippie Temptation, and other combinations, and other words, documentary, Harry reasoner, etc. etc. Haight,
naturally 'hippie' gets a million hits... so it is impossible to wade through all of that...
any ideas?
I was going to go at this from the other end - and look for an original full copy, any idea what station broadcasted it or who owns the rights? was it on the history channel or something? I was even thinking if I called up Harry Reasoner, he might be 'reasonable' enough to share a copy... ( -:
thankx and peace.
Anthem to Beauty
CC Joe, it's on this DVD also (well a small clip of Reasoner with the most famous sound byte) which Rhino would love for you to know about I'm sure. GREAT DVD, one of my favorites, in fact. Mickey's reaction to the label "hippie" is classic, among many great moments.
"We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold."
OK, cool, I'm gonna watch
OK, cool, I'm gonna watch Anthem RIGHT NOW, I haven't watched it for about 6 months...
got it! great shit.
it is a good primer for new/younger deadheads.
Anthem
Anthem had the one Garcia quote about living a good life, living a simple life... words to live by.
anyways, Anthem is totaly fucking cool. I like it when they are at the mixing boards.
peace.

Good Stuff...
Yeah, "Anthem" is good stuff, for sure. My mom gave it to me as a Christmas present some years back. She had no idea what it was and made it through about 5 mins. with me, when I opened it and slammed it into the DVD player. It was my favorite present that year. My kids really enjoyed it and I agree with your assessment, CC Joe, it's a great "primer". In another note on this DVD, a friend included that Garcia quote on an old bootleg tape, many years ago, and I used to play it over and over to people but no one seemed to "get it". I left it on the answering machine of one of my supervisor's, when I resigned from an old job. They actually hired me back and were really cool until I ultimately left the company more than 5 years later. I actually should have never left that job, although the cultural shifts that were occuring there would have made it a moot point in time, I'm sure. It is a cool world sometimes.

box
also I especially enjoyed Phil and Hunter's explanation of writing box. I dig stuff like that, too.
I actually picked up Anthem of Beauty not really knowing what it was about, or that is was a documentary. I was at best buy or somewhere, getting a few of the Views, in a mad rush, spotted it, oh, a GD DVD?, into the basket, I kind of thought it was going to be studio footage of them recording American Beauty... or something like 'So Far'
little did I know. ( -:
irony
the kind of funny irony, is that Rhino, which many fans give shit to, put this DVD out.
and, of course, the vid contains band members discussing their relationship with Warner Bros. it was especially funny to see the ex-WB executive, I forgot his name, STILL wearing his cheesy sportscoat talking about how Phil and Micky are insane. I wonder if he got it out of 'a time warp wardrobe' just for the occassion?
my criticism of the DVD is the stupid, self promoting, valentine Rhino wrote for themselves which we HAVE to watch at the start of the DVD,
and the fact that the whole DVD is too short. ( -;
there has to be more historical film of the band's off stage antics on the road out there.
more historical interviews and more in studio film would have been a big plus.
enough complaining for one day.
peace.
I Heart Rhino?
Yeah that opening advertisement is about the worst piece of self promotion I've ever seen 'cause "our trip was different. It was to be a classic affirmation of everything right and true in the national character. A gross physical salute to the fantastic possibilities of life in this country. But only for those with true grit......."
Great video, though!

Still Alive....
I made through another 4th of July with all my appendages. Actually had a great day and I hope everyone else did, as well.
Fuck it Dude, let's go bowling!
One more day I find myself
One more day I find myself aliveTomorrow maybe go beneath the ground
See here how everything
Lead up to this day
And it's just like any other day
That's ever been
Sun going up and then
The sun going down
Shine through my window
And my friends they come around
I wrote this about Jerry
Hi Y'all,
I wrote this poem about Jerry the day after he died. It is from memory, so it is not exactly what I wrote, but it is close. I wanted to share it with my family. Please share it with any family who might get something from it. My gift to all of you....
No Stella, No Dew, No Cumberland Blues
No Speedway, No Aiko,Or Row Jimmy too
No Bertha, No Shakedown, No Wheel No more
No Terrapin, No Eyes, No Knocking on Heavens Door
Comes a Time Came, and He's Gone went
Money Honey finally came up with the rent
Dark Star shattered, Black Peter played
Shining Star shined 'till its dying day
The Breadbox has dough, The jelly has rolls,
The Fire on the Mountain is nothing but coals
The Wharf Rat did, and Don't Let Go didn't
The Eyes of the Maker are always well hidden
The Wheel is turning, Stagger Lee has Balls,
St Stephen has gathered all that he lost
The Sunshine came, Help is on the Way,
Visions of Johanna are now all that remain
The Loser is losing, The Deal is done, and we'll never forget you,
who shined like the sun.
Be well all of you. And rest well,Jerry! I think about you every day!
Midnight on a carousel ride, reaching for that gold ring down inside. Never could reach it. It just slips away. BUT I TRY!
shivers in my spine, dude
shivers in my spine, dude.
shivers up and down my spine.
thankx for sharing.

Hunter wrote this, and it was read at Jerry's funeral:
Elegy for Jerry Garcia
Jerry, my friend,
you've done it again,
even in your silence
the familiar pressure
comes to bear, demanding
I pull words from the air
with only this morning
and part of the afternoon
to compose an ode worthy
of one so particular
about every turn of phrase,
demanding it hit home
in a thousand ways
before making it his own,
and this I can't do alone.
Now that the singer is gone,
where shall I go for the song?
Without your melody and taste
to lend an attitude of grace
a lyric is an orphan thing,
a hive with neither honey's taste
nor power to truly sting.
What choice have I but to dare and
call your muse who thought to rest
out of the thin blue air
that out of the field of shared time,
a line or two might chance to shine --
As ever when we called,
in hope if not in words,
the muse descends.
How should she desert us now?
Scars of battle on her brow,
bedraggled feathers on her wings,
and yet she sings, she sings!
May she bear thee to thy rest,
the ancient bower of flowers
beyond the solitude of days,
the tyranny of hours--
the wreath of shining laurel lie
upon your shaggy head
bestowing power to play the lyre
to legions of the dead
If some part of that music
is heard in deepest dream,
or on some breeze of Summer
a snatch of golden theme,
we'll know you live inside us
with love that never parts
our good old Jack O'Diamonds
become the King of Hearts.
I feel your silent laughter
at sentiments so bold
that dare to step across the line
to tell what must be told,
so I'll just say I love you,
which I never said before
and let it go at that old friend
the rest you may ignore.
I'M BACK AND MY GUESS IS
JOHNNY B GOODE

Sound board recordings.
What do you think the chances are of convincing the dead to put their sb tapes on the net something like David Grissman does with his Acoustic Disc label? You know, charge a nominal fee and let us download them. It seems a shame to lock all that rare and unique music away in a dungeon. I.m new here, so this may have been discussed before.

"thanks ccjoe

no, YOU are the best, babe, you are the best.
I know exactly what you mean in bittersweet. yeah, it does hurt. and while it hurts, I still can not get over how wonderful it is. I see the band lounging together, probably the only band in the history of the fucking world that had such a relationship with their fans. such a sense of humor, such touching, caring love for everyone -- a true two way street. as much as the fans loved the band, the band loved the fans. they always did. that was the special relationship we had with them, and them with us. being near the front of the stage, and Jerry smiling at ME. smiling at US. the boys playing their hearts out for our joy and pleasure which bounced off us and back into them to open their hearts yet further... do you think Madonna has such a relationship with her fans??
I remember watching that show 'live' on cable TV or whatever with a group of hard core east coast heads... well, hardcore to a certain extent since we never motivated enough to get to the left coast for a NYE show. (sigh) man oh man, when we saw those comedy clips we were fucking freaking out. nice memories, thankfully preserved on tape for the generations to come to see and enjoy.
but it makes me remember... the one year, the one fucking year, I had all of my shit together, had all of my plans carved in stone, to be in the bay area for NYE... what happens?
oh, yeah, bittersweet to say the least.
peace.
see ya in a few months!
Hey now folks!
I'll be heading down So many roads I know
So many roads to ease my soul...
see ya in a few months!
love and peace!
c'mon everybody, sing along!
So Many Roads
Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Jerry Garcia
Thought I heard a blackird singing
Up on Bluebird Hill
Call me a whinin' boy if you will
Born where the sun don't shine
And I don't deny my name
Got no place to go, ain't that a shame?
Thought I heard that KC whistle
Moaning sweet and low
Thought I heard that KC when she blow
Down where the sun don't shine
Underneath the Kokomo
Whinin' boy got no place to go
So many roads I tell you
So many roads I know
So many roads, so many roads
Mountain high, river wide
So many roads to ride
So many roads, so many roads
Thought I heard a jug band playin'
"If you don't... who else will?"
From over on the far side of the hill
All I know the sun don't shine
And the rain refused to fall
And you don't seem to hear me when I call
Wind inside and the wind outside
Tangled in the window blind
Tell me why you treat me so unkind
Down where the sun don't shine
Lonely and I call your name
No place left to go, ain't that a shame?
So many roads I tell you
New York to San Francisco
So many roads I know
All I want is one to take me home
From the high road to the low
So many roads I know
So many roads so many roads
From the land of the midnight sun
Where the ice blue roses grow
Along those roads of gold and silver snow
Howlin' wide or moaning low
So many roads I know
So many roads to ease my soul
