daevid allen being a maniac for 9 minutes

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.

[@JohnSmith-of4vh]

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.

[@tonykelly2919]

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.

[@nastis-net]

Starting my day with this banger, better than 5 cups of coffee filtered through a crocheted witches hat. Thank you Daevid, thank you brennen xx

[@utopia3161]

Loved this guy, and still do. Experimental jazz rock, may his god be with him,

[@comradeleah6924]

I want to be just like him when I grow up

[@docdeens4030]

If you want to be just like him, don't grow up at all

[@kelvinwilson9217]

Daevid was absolutely wonderful & innovative, yes admittedly totally of his head most times, but still a relevant force these days.

[@narasimha7187]

A really underated freak of the highest order.

[@donaldwilliams9848]

Could you possibly imagine if Daevid Allen and Syd Barrett had ever collaborated?

[@brennenrigley]

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

[@donaldwilliams9848]

@@brennenrigley I have also heard that Daevid Allen learned his glissando guitar technique from Syd Barrett.

[@brennenrigley]

@@donaldwilliams9848 and syd himself learned it from keith rowe of AMM

[@donaldwilliams9848]

@@brennenrigley I did not know that! Thanks for the info!

[@brennenrigley]

of course! its always fascinating to learn how all the musicians of the london 60s-70s underground influenced each another

[@WillCate]

R.I.P. Daevid

[@farzadsh.3094]

Genius artist. 🙏

the high[est] priest and dada defacto archbishop of acid. im curious how you came across such high quality clips of such rarity and stench, and if you could share more. i am a total and irreparable gong nut and appreciate this compilation

[@hopebgood]

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.

[@chamberpot969]

Looks like Rolf Harris on mescaline.

Hi

[@nicholasbell9017]

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

[@brennenrigley]

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

[@brownonbus]

The way he acts in this video is exactly why I love daevid 😊
