Donovan - Mellow Yellow

[@CowboyJack44]

Life is so much better when Mary pays a visit. Wouldn't you all agree? Donovan is so incredibly awesome man. The middle 60's was a very special time and place to be a part of. You could strike sparks anywhere. Peace and Love brother!

[@bckm54]

in the 70s, I remember listening to this, and the Grateful Dead, and Janis and Jimi at a friends house. there was plenty of pot to go around. We'd all congregate in his special room with beanbag furniture, one bright red light, and all that pot. When I got high, I would laugh hysterically, uncontrollably, at EVERYTHING. I couldnt move, I was laughing so hard. Those were the days... :)

[@owndbyu]

loved the era.. sooo glad I was there

[@keltyk]

When it came out I used to wake with this song in my head in the mornings- it meant it was going to be a great day- Didn't know what it was- or how it got in my head- I was only 4

[@K3KCT]

Like the man says; a pure Scot, born in Maryhill, Glasgow, Scotland. He's aged well, old Donovan - must still eat his porridge.. Great song.

[@Mahana03]

incredible how listening to a song you havent heard for years brings back memories...this is another I heard as a kid by donovan...then there was the drink mellow yellow

[@silkat2]

Donovan was the "Beck" of his day. I have some vinyl he did and it's true art. From the cover to the liner to the LP.

[@ideclair5866]

Was in the fifth grade and I remember this song vividly. It was cool era even for a fifth grader.

[@sandraragole2411]

[@MAYFLY01]

[@inokpati]

[@mccoolness4697]

the title brought me here. weird names rock!

[@silkat2]

I totally agree, and the vinyl I was talking about was Donovan's not Beck's. I was just drawing a comparison of their innovations in their own time periods.

[@seivaDsugnA]

My grandma brought me here with a stereo that buzzes the windows right down the valley

[@sandraragole2411]

💛💖💛💛🎵🎶🎶🎵 ty granny. 1960s Haight ASHBURY Fillmore West is where I lived most times.

[@Normanskie]

Yea man, tie dye T shirts and beads, wow such artistic talent,had loads of them, all psycho.

[@inkey2]

to auntedna: it was only a great era for those who were too "high" to remember it with clarity.

[@SweetSweetWaldo]

You bet! I'm taking your advice right now!

[@bezdomovkyne]

I wish I were there! *sigh*

[@Ragnarok6300]

[@crazyurmel2]

sehr schöne video. danke

[@FredericBayer]

@bazzatheblue Quite. Donovan was born in Maryhill, Glasgow, the son of Winifred (née Phillips), a factory worker, and Donald Leitch, a Rolls Royce factory employee.

[@Vertman3000]

I like how he does the drums himself

[@leenetteleen2739]

Their hitting down on those pipes out in the audience.

[@MileHigh23]

Haha, I love when they pull the camera close to people's faces to see dazed yet fully concentrated eyes lol.

[@GoGoGadgetBeer]

If it's yellow, it's mellow. If it's brown, flush it down!

[@Soundstage8]

Why wasn't I born in that era :(

[@MichelleRocksOut]

STONERS BABY!!!!!

[@wyominglost]

@nathaniel0819worship Ill bet their at Berkley Ca. I had this album when I was a kid,about wore it out.lol

[@webgrunt]

I heard that "Mellow Yellow, the electric banana" was an ad for a yellow, plastic banana-shaped vibrator he saw in an adult magazine. Don't know whether or not that's true either, though.

[@RobertoGinsburg]

The Guest on the intro is BILL GRAHAM (Promotor of FILLMORE concert hall)

[@phillydog17]

Bill Graham was a huge fan obviously.

[@MikeRogers44]

OK, Call Me Mellow Yellow and pass it this way !!

[@ichhabahnung]

THEY CALL ME MELLOOOOW YELLOOOOW :DDDDD

[@Tedone2]

Cool song

[@heehawluck1]

@dannypot420 I will reiterate for the profoundly moronic...Donovan took weed in the early 60s...he packed it in around 64/65. He was never on anything stronger, in fact, he was quite vocal on the matter. Just because he wrote beautiful and insightful lyrics to gloriously ethereal tunes don't don't assume he was on drugs. If you're able, bring me documentary evidence to the contrary. I look forward to seeing it. Peace.

[@hallobadee]

as bill hicks said all the drugs that make us see what is truly what is real and who we really are are illegal yet the ones that numb our thoughts about whats happening in the worlds are not .Take some time think . Forget about your religion or beliefs for one moment and take a deep breath and im sure who you really are and what is happening in the world will look very different ,my thoughtsare we are creatures who have evolved and we continue to evolve ....so let us

[@L1S91]

@bigcheese1973 Donoban Leitch is married with 4 children. He was a leader of the "Flower Power" movement in the 60's. Most of his music was influenced by his wife. If you don't understand the counter-culture of the 60's, please do some research.

[@DenisHoste]

Haha, MMpiece, funny comment!

[@gwyar1953]

thus we see the 60's and all of its attitudes in a teeny cosmos--- leave me with the hippies please---- even if I should belong elsewhere

[@Metatron141]

I hate to admit it but you're right. I prefer the recorded version too.

[@STRATO05]

Bill Graham...rip

[@billyspurr]

Hail Atlantis!

[@emonubsaucroflcopter]
