I wish everyone could realize that.

[@Pimp-Master]

Good observation; that generation was extremely passionate about lots of things, way more than any decade following the 60's. I know our '70's gen felt dissapointed that we didn't burn down a bank on campus. Yeah, current teens are passionate about politics, but putting an establishment candidate into office isn't what I'm talking about. They're mostly manipulated, NPC-type followers, not firebrands or huge risk takers. Also that generation actually lived their truth; all our preoccupation with food ingredients comes from the macro-biotic movement of young leftists years ago. Even personal computers comes from them, the Internet was built by college kids in '69. Yeah, every generation is in the shadow of that first '60's gen.

[@TheRhNegative]

Human kind is breeding the emotion out of ourselves by over-automating everything, instant gratification on demand, & becoming sedentary observers of life as opposed to taking part in life for life's sake. Who would've thought this back then? It was not that long ago.

Berkeley was the sight for a majority of the research/infrastructure led by a team of seasoned, mostly conservative engineers with a sprinkling of young hipsters on the low end.

[@decnijfkris3706]

Indeed a social revolution that was explained to us younger people as a mere sexual revolution.Something pretty dirty thus. So little attention is paid on social rebirth of nations. In my country they only spoke about the month Mai 1968.They connected that also directly to the invasion of Russia into Tchechoslovakia and the death of Jan Pallach. My son does not even know the name Woodstock. As from the 70 ies music business was so good that anyone listening to music would be confronted with 1967 Woodstock. Since 1967 we don't have had such worldwide expression of a social idea nonetheless most governments in Europe are fanatic over social ideas and openly call themselves socialist or social democrate. I must say even in the most conservative households the hippy movement was a topic, good or bad. Many parents in Europe could not and would not withhold their kids of showing in some way symphatie to the hippies.Therefor the movement was too strong and too peaceful. There simply was not all too much bad to say about the hippies.What parent could oppose to flowers, and peace. You just cannot imagine what effect hippy movement had on the smallest rural towns. I still live in one.

[@anonuser]

10anto82 You're clueless dude. The hippie movement and student movement helped end the Viet Nam war, just one of MANY things accomplished. The number of lives saved in that one instance can be attributed to us hippies and student protesters. All we were saying is give peace a chance. We supported and helped usher in civil rights, gay rights even rights for the handicapped. There were thousands of hippies in Europe as well. The corporations that run the world will always fight wars for profits and territorial gains - those are the people you should direct your misguided anger toward.

Where have all the flowers gone?? < you stomped them all in the 80s when you guys became yuppies. You gave us a future and then destroyed it when you embraced "greed is good".

Some things that stand out versus today; everyone is dressed/covered up, hairstyles are long but nothing drastic, no weird/rude behaviours on a busy street. Everyone has a slim build. No ink from head to toe or shaved heads. Great vid!! Cheers !!

The World was still alright back then 😊!

Great video, but "Hey Jude"? It wasn't even released until August, 1968! Surely there was another song from the actual Summer of 67 that might have worked.

my mom lived in hayward,ca and went to the haight at this time, looking for one of her runaway friends.. I always tell her u were so lucky to have seen this for real... we all now live in las vegas..lol

I think some people are missing the point, at that precise moment, young and old came together from all over the world, for new ways of thinking, and bringing back a compassionate human, aspect, i'll take someone with love and body odor over a clean smelling ###hole anyday.

[@susaninmaine]

+David Parks Not sure about young and old. The credo was definitely "don't trust anyone over 30"

[@davidparks7056]

+susaninmaine i mean, the guy who's farm it was at woodstock was definately not young, and judging from all the footage i've seen, there were quite a few people over 30. I think the credo came from the kids who couldn't trust the rigid, racist, suit & tie, fall-in-line ethos of the adults around them, due to the generational gap, as well as the fact that these were the same people promoting intolerance while sending their children off to war. Crazy times!!

[@therose8521]

Not so sure, that was the age of the generation gap.
