304
00:21:34,210 --> 00:21:36,921
305
00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:40,925
I never heard anyone singing
like her, nobody sings like her.
306
00:21:40,966 --> 00:21:45,429
I especially never heard anyone
compose like her, and I haven't heard it yet.
307
00:21:45,471 --> 00:21:47,932
About a year after that, we ...
308
00:21:49,099 --> 00:21:51,393
we stay together. Was good.
309
00:21:57,650 --> 00:22:00,319
David Crosby was kicked out of the Byrds
310
00:22:00,361 --> 00:22:02,988
and I hadn't met Crosby,
Stills and Nash ainda,
311
00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:06,867
so he was going around the city
on a VW bus with a Porsche engine.
312
00:22:06,909 --> 00:22:11,205
And one night, David said, "Come here to
home that we're going to go crazy. "
313
00:22:11,247 --> 00:22:13,165
He always had the best drug.
314
00:22:13,207 --> 00:22:17,419
It was like being invited to a tasting
of wines in a Rothschild mansion.
315
00:22:17,461 --> 00:22:21,632
Around three or four o'clock in the morning, we
we were pretty doped up and David said,
316
00:22:21,674 --> 00:22:25,469
"Oh, there is someone I want to hear ..."
317
00:22:25,469 --> 00:22:29,181
and he comes back
318
00:22:29,223 --> 00:22:32,601
with Joni Mitchell - live,
with a big guitar.
319
00:22:32,643 --> 00:22:34,520
320
00:22:35,187 --> 00:22:36,897
321
00:22:36,897 --> 00:22:40,651
322
00:22:41,819 --> 00:22:44,863
323
00:22:44,905 --> 00:22:48,784
324
00:22:48,826 --> 00:22:52,621
She played songs that had not been recorded yet.
325
00:22:52,663 --> 00:22:56,125
No one had heard that music.
No one had heard that voice.
326
00:22:56,166 --> 00:22:58,919
For us, it was like a hallucination.
327
00:22:58,961 --> 00:23:02,840
But when Crosby finished
production of his first album,
328
00:23:02,881 --> 00:23:06,176
everyone in LA knew Joni Mitchell.
329
00:23:06,176 --> 00:23:10,598
I didn't do a very good job
in the production of her album.
330
00:23:10,639 --> 00:23:15,894
But I did something wonderful, which was
keep everyone out of the process.
331
00:23:15,936 --> 00:23:17,563
That was a good thing.
332
00:23:17,605 --> 00:23:20,899
We have the power.
We have the tolerance.
333
00:23:20,941 --> 00:23:23,402
We can go straight to a TV camera,
we can go live
334
00:23:23,444 --> 00:23:26,614
and we can definitely say that
Hitler was wrong, Rockwell is wrong,
335
00:23:26,655 --> 00:23:28,616
people who hate blacks are wrong.
336
00:23:28,616 --> 00:23:31,785
We can go out there and scream to the world, Pete!
337
00:23:31,827 --> 00:23:38,500
But I was wrong, yeah, yeah, yeah
338
00:23:38,542 --> 00:23:41,128
339
00:23:41,128 --> 00:23:43,589
340
00:23:43,631 --> 00:23:46,008
341
00:23:46,050 --> 00:23:49,595
I spent years with the Hollies
aperfei�oando a can��o pop.
342
00:23:49,637 --> 00:23:52,473
343
00:23:52,514 --> 00:23:54,475
Fr�volo is not the right word,
344
00:23:54,516 --> 00:23:58,729
but certainly a little more superficial than
the things that I, personally, was feeling.
345
00:23:58,729 --> 00:24:00,689
346
00:24:00,731 --> 00:24:02,191
347
00:24:02,232 --> 00:24:06,487
So, at one point, the Hollies
they were not wanting my things -
348
00:24:06,528 --> 00:24:10,407
I'm talking about "Marrakesh Express",
"Teach Your Children",
349
00:24:10,449 --> 00:24:13,869
"Lady Of The Island", "the first Sleep
Song "- and it made me feel bad,
350
00:24:13,911 --> 00:24:16,914
because I thought they were decent songs.
351
00:24:18,916 --> 00:24:21,418
I don't eat from 1968,
352
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:26,465
Graham Nash was a highly successful
but a disgruntled pop star from Manchester.
353
00:24:27,549 --> 00:24:29,927
At the end of the year,
354
00:24:29,968 --> 00:24:35,933
he teamed up with Joni Mitchell, David Crosby
and Stephen Stills on the music trail to LA.
355
00:24:35,974 --> 00:24:40,521
on the Marrakesh Express...?
356
00:24:40,562 --> 00:24:43,732
Stephen was released after Buffalo Springfield.
357
00:24:43,774 --> 00:24:47,152
David was expelled from the Byrds.
358
00:24:47,194 --> 00:24:50,489
He and Stephen tried some songs.
359
00:24:50,489 --> 00:24:53,742
Graham, happened to, found Joni
360
00:24:53,784 --> 00:24:56,912
while he was on tour with the Hollies.
361
00:24:56,954 --> 00:25:02,918
in your hair...
362
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:04,670
Joni and I spent an evening together in Ottawa
363
00:25:04,712 --> 00:25:07,423
and I felt completely in love.
364
00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:12,720
Listening to the high harmonies of
recordings of the Hollies, David and Stephen
365
00:25:12,761 --> 00:25:14,680
conspired to kidnap him.
366
00:25:14,722 --> 00:25:18,475
"This is what we need!"
367
00:25:18,517 --> 00:25:22,521
David appeared at the Hollies' show in England.
368
00:25:22,563 --> 00:25:27,484
Crosby arrived, with his cloak,
your stick and your attitude.
369
00:25:27,526 --> 00:25:32,698
"Hmm. Having a hard time with all these
drinking guys who don't want Marrakesh Express "
370
00:25:32,740 --> 00:25:35,033
He had the best drugs.
He had the best herb.
371
00:25:35,075 --> 00:25:37,703
He had the most beautiful woman,
who was always naked.
372
00:25:37,745 --> 00:25:41,582
373
00:25:41,623 --> 00:25:43,041
Crosby these,
374
00:25:43,083 --> 00:25:46,462
"They are crazy. We are going
record this. Come closer."
375
00:25:46,503 --> 00:25:54,762
376
00:25:54,803 --> 00:26:00,726
If Nash had any doubts, they would be banned
after a musical encounter in Hollywood Hills.
377
00:26:03,145 --> 00:26:06,648
My reminder is that we were
in Joni's living room
378
00:26:06,648 --> 00:26:10,110
and David said, "Hey, Stephen,
play that song. "
379
00:26:10,152 --> 00:26:13,947
And it was like, um ...
You don't have to cry.
380
00:26:13,989 --> 00:26:16,241
381
00:26:16,283 --> 00:26:19,077
382
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,997
And he said, "Sing it again.
Fabulous! "
383
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:23,999
384
00:26:24,041 --> 00:26:28,462
"Okay, one more time.
Sing one more time. "
385
00:26:28,504 --> 00:26:30,297
386
00:26:30,297 --> 00:26:34,134
The third time, I put my harmony
that and my world has changed.
387
00:26:34,176 --> 00:26:37,888
388
00:26:37,930 --> 00:26:40,766
Stephen and I had the same thought,
which rarely happens.
389
00:26:40,808 --> 00:26:44,478
We both thought, "Oh! We know
what we’re going to do. "
390
00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:49,900
I heard that sound and it was what
I wanted. I wanted that sound.
391
00:26:49,942 --> 00:26:54,905
And I left everything. I left the Hollies, my
band, my family and I went to America.
392
00:26:54,947 --> 00:26:57,658
393
00:26:57,699 --> 00:27:00,911
394
00:27:00,953 --> 00:27:04,706
Graham Nash was the last addition to the
communal "who's who" of LA music
395
00:27:04,748 --> 00:27:08,669
that made your home in the most peaceful
city locations.
396
00:27:11,755 --> 00:27:16,426
Los Angeles is unusual for presenting
a mountain range across it.
397
00:27:16,468 --> 00:27:21,974
There are several canyons that cut through the city
in a more or less north-south layout.
398
00:27:21,974 --> 00:27:26,186
Laurel Canyon was founded
at the turn of the 20th century -
399
00:27:26,228 --> 00:27:29,648
in the early 1900s -
by land speculators.
400
00:27:29,690 --> 00:27:34,069
It was a place where, mainly, people
would come to hunt on weekends -
401
00:27:34,111 --> 00:27:37,906
a bucolic canyon in the middle
of this unforgiving urban environment.
402
00:27:41,451 --> 00:27:46,665
Since the 1920s, Los Angeles had explored
the contrasting fascination of the sun and surf by day
403
00:27:46,707 --> 00:27:49,501
and the ostentatious Hollywood at night.
404
00:27:49,543 --> 00:27:53,297
But the spiritual Shangri-La
for a generation
405
00:27:53,338 --> 00:27:57,467
collectively committed
to return to the Garden
406
00:27:57,509 --> 00:28:02,014
was Laurel Canyon, a rural paradise
nestled right behind the Sunset Strip.
407
00:28:04,224 --> 00:28:06,143
408
00:28:06,184 --> 00:28:07,978
I lived across the street
409
00:28:08,020 --> 00:28:10,314
de Mark Volman dos Turtles.
410
00:28:10,355 --> 00:28:12,482
Just on my street
411
00:28:12,524 --> 00:28:17,821
havia Mama Cass, Henry Diltz,
Joni Mitchell, Carl Wilson.
412
00:28:17,863 --> 00:28:20,490
Jim Morrison high up on the hill.
413
00:28:20,532 --> 00:28:22,826
414
00:28:22,868 --> 00:28:25,120
Tim Hardin was living there.
415
00:28:25,162 --> 00:28:28,957
Havia Frank Zappa e the Mothers.
Havia Frazier Mohawk.
416
00:28:28,999 --> 00:28:31,043
Stephen Stills, David Crosby.
417
00:28:31,084 --> 00:28:35,422
I had lived there since
dos Byrds. Jackson Browne.
418
00:28:35,464 --> 00:28:36,256
Micky Dolenz lived on the corner.
419
00:28:36,298 --> 00:28:38,842
420
00:28:38,884 --> 00:28:40,385
Tim Buckley
421
00:28:40,427 --> 00:28:43,347
and Larry Beckett lived elsewhere,
422
00:28:43,388 --> 00:28:46,391
but they were at our house
really often.
423
00:28:46,391 --> 00:28:49,311
Eric Burdon was living in the Canyon.
424
00:28:49,353 --> 00:28:53,273
The Doors had a place in the Canyon.
John Mayall vivia no Canyon.
425
00:28:53,315 --> 00:28:55,484
Crazy Horse had a house in the canyon.
426
00:28:55,525 --> 00:29:00,948
The late, great record producer Paul
Rothschild had a house in the canyon,
427
00:29:00,989 --> 00:29:05,911
with the late Fritz Richmond,
who was a pitcher player ...
428
00:29:05,953 --> 00:29:07,913
429
00:29:07,955 --> 00:29:10,374
430
00:29:10,374 --> 00:29:12,834
431
00:29:12,876 --> 00:29:15,295
432
00:29:15,295 --> 00:29:21,468
Graham Nash found himself in the middle of a
extraordinary community of composers.
433
00:29:21,510 --> 00:29:25,472
But his alliance with David Crosby
and Stephen Stills was hindered
434
00:29:25,514 --> 00:29:29,476
through a series of contracts linking all
the three with their previous bands.
435
00:29:29,518 --> 00:29:32,396
They needed professional help.
436
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:35,232
We knew we needed an entrepreneur,
437
00:29:35,273 --> 00:29:40,821
and we thought that we had found a
clever that we like in Elliot Roberts.
438
00:29:40,862 --> 00:29:43,949
He was already managing Joni,
and we like him.
439
00:29:43,991 --> 00:29:47,285
But we also knew we were going
to the great heights,
440
00:29:47,327 --> 00:29:50,455
that essentially are
a shark pool,
441
00:29:50,497 --> 00:29:53,583
so we thought it would be good if
we had our own shark.
442
00:29:53,625 --> 00:29:59,006
I think I liked music. Whatever
I feel good is something I want to record.
443
00:29:59,047 --> 00:30:02,968
I don't think every record
that we do will be a success,
444
00:30:03,010 --> 00:30:05,345
or that every artist who
we record will be a star,
445
00:30:05,387 --> 00:30:07,681
but I think all the music that
we put it very valid.
446
00:30:16,481 --> 00:30:19,651
First of all, I didn't have
contracts with my clients.
447
00:30:19,651 --> 00:30:21,737
They could leave at any time.
448
00:30:21,737 --> 00:30:24,614
And, as it was, none
of them never left.
449
00:30:29,995 --> 00:30:35,250
It was my job to stand as a barrier against the
river of shit that was falling on these people,
450
00:30:35,250 --> 00:30:37,502
and that was a difficult job.
451
00:30:37,544 --> 00:30:41,006
I don't think they had
a sense of how difficult it was,
452
00:30:41,048 --> 00:30:44,426
but I certainly had and,
given how young we were,
453
00:30:44,468 --> 00:30:47,679
and how inexperienced we were, I think
that we did a very well done job.
454
00:30:59,399 --> 00:31:05,614
David Geffen and Elliot Roberts set up
a store on the Sunset Strip in 1969,
455
00:31:05,614 --> 00:31:08,617
and started to challenge
the balance of power
456
00:31:08,658 --> 00:31:11,578
in the music industry every
increasingly outdated in LA.
457
00:31:11,620 --> 00:31:15,499
Most businesses were still
centered in New York,
458
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:19,586
so ... we had a
advantage over people
459
00:31:19,628 --> 00:31:22,506
who were surfing and smoking
lots of marijuana here.
460
00:31:22,547 --> 00:31:27,010
Our metabolism ran
much faster.
461
00:31:30,222 --> 00:31:33,934
Tin Pan Alley and Brill Building
from New York -
462
00:31:33,934 --> 00:31:40,482
compositions factory producing successful songs for
artists considered disposable by their record labels -
463
00:31:40,524 --> 00:31:43,151
dominated the industry for decades.
464
00:31:43,193 --> 00:31:45,779
Geffen and Roberts and a different model,
465
00:31:45,821 --> 00:31:49,866
in which the artists were
the center of the music world.
466
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:56,039
There were agreements between artists with
the record companies that were horrible,
467
00:31:56,081 --> 00:31:59,960
and David and Elliot, in particular,
changed the dynamics.
468
00:32:00,001 --> 00:32:04,172
Until then, the artists were
being screwed deeply.
469
00:32:04,214 --> 00:32:08,385
Then they just screwed up
in a less than profound way.
470
00:32:11,012 --> 00:32:16,393
In 1969, David Geffen started negotiations
471
00:32:16,434 --> 00:32:20,647
to launch David Crosby, Graham Nash and
Stephen Stills from his old commitments,
472
00:32:20,689 --> 00:32:25,193
and allow them to start working
in the eagerly anticipated first album.
473
00:32:25,235 --> 00:32:28,113
He's a voracious businessman.
474
00:32:28,155 --> 00:32:31,741
Once you gave it to him
something to work with,
475
00:32:31,783 --> 00:32:35,328
he was going to tear it up, and he did it.
476
00:32:35,370 --> 00:32:39,291
Elliot and I were doctors
helping them in childbirth,
477
00:32:39,291 --> 00:32:41,001
but that was about them.
478
00:32:41,042 --> 00:32:43,086
They were genuinely excited.
479
00:32:43,128 --> 00:32:46,131
When you heard them singing,
you were dazzled.
480
00:32:46,173 --> 00:32:50,510
When Stephen wrote Suite -
Judy Blue Eyes, sobre Judy Collins,
481
00:32:50,552 --> 00:32:53,430
and who was he having
a relationship at the time,
482
00:32:53,471 --> 00:32:56,016
and you heard them singing it,
483
00:32:56,057 --> 00:32:59,978
era incr�vel.
484
00:33:00,020 --> 00:33:03,899
485
00:33:06,443 --> 00:33:09,654
486
00:33:12,991 --> 00:33:16,203
487
00:33:17,662 --> 00:33:19,748
They had wonderful songs,
488
00:33:19,748 --> 00:33:21,750
with exquisitely wandering melodies,
489
00:33:21,791 --> 00:33:24,586
and the simplest of arrangements.
490
00:33:24,628 --> 00:33:27,172
The whole thing was so pure.
491
00:33:27,172 --> 00:33:29,549
And sang.
492
00:33:29,591 --> 00:33:31,927
And it worked.
493
00:33:31,968 --> 00:33:33,053
And it touched his heart.
494
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:39,476
Just like its LA predecessors,
495
00:33:39,517 --> 00:33:42,312
the Beach Boys e the Mamas And Papas,
496
00:33:42,354 --> 00:33:45,565
Crosby, Stills And Nash foram
a harmonious group,
497
00:33:45,607 --> 00:33:48,276
but they encapsulated a new spirit -
498
00:33:48,318 --> 00:33:52,948
the relaxed acoustic sound of Laurel Canyon.
499
00:33:52,989 --> 00:33:56,368
We wanted to engage the listener and
we put the listener on a journey
500
00:33:56,368 --> 00:33:59,371
where you smoked one, took the packaging,
501
00:33:59,412 --> 00:34:02,332
put the record to play
and voc� j� was!
502
00:34:02,374 --> 00:34:09,881
503
00:34:11,299 --> 00:34:17,722
504
00:34:20,558 --> 00:34:26,606
People said, "I don't know how many hours
I was staring at that image. "
505
00:34:26,648 --> 00:34:32,737
There was a musician from England who once said,
"We used to sit and look at that Crosby, Stills And Nash cover
506
00:34:32,779 --> 00:34:35,907
and say, 'What should it be like in California?'
507
00:34:35,949 --> 00:34:39,035
and we just stared at that thing
while the music played. "
508
00:34:39,077 --> 00:34:42,998
underneath...
509
00:34:43,039 --> 00:34:47,460
The 1960s counterculture was dominated
by shrill psychedelia
510
00:34:47,502 --> 00:34:51,214
de Jimi Hendrix, Cream
e the Grateful Dead,
511
00:34:51,214 --> 00:34:57,012
but LA had produced a new sound that was
both commercially and politically credible.
512
00:34:59,472 --> 00:35:02,809
FM radio, which was ours
way to the market,
513
00:35:02,809 --> 00:35:05,895
It was also all rock'n'roll heavy days,
514
00:35:05,895 --> 00:35:10,942
and then along came guitars
acoustic and three harmonies,
515
00:35:10,984 --> 00:35:13,486
and that just changed everything.
516
00:35:13,528 --> 00:35:15,947
Da-de-dum-de-dum ...
517
00:35:15,989 --> 00:35:20,160
They had a successful album,
a formidable entrepreneur
518
00:35:20,201 --> 00:35:22,746
and they were planning a live tour,
519
00:35:22,787 --> 00:35:26,458
mas Crosby, Stills And Nash
they also had a problem.
520
00:35:27,250 --> 00:35:32,172
Stephen played guitar and keyboard on the record,
and you can't do that on stage.
521
00:35:32,172 --> 00:35:36,092
Stephen talked to Ahmet Ertegun, who
owned Atlantic Records at that time,
522
00:35:36,092 --> 00:35:42,474
a dear friend and a very strong Crosby fan, Stills And Nash,
and he said, "Why don't you talk to Neil?"
523
00:35:42,515 --> 00:35:45,477
524
00:35:45,518 --> 00:35:48,480
525
00:35:48,521 --> 00:35:49,773
526
00:35:51,608 --> 00:35:55,403
Less than a year after the collapse
do Buffalo Springfield,
527
00:35:55,445 --> 00:35:59,157
Neil Young havia j� havia come�ado
to make his mark as a solo artist.
528
00:35:59,199 --> 00:36:06,498
Now he was the fourth front man in a
supergroup flooding with individual talent.
529
00:36:08,958 --> 00:36:10,919
Inclusive,
530
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,962
Neil was ponderous.
531
00:36:13,004 --> 00:36:17,300
You weren't sure you wanted to be
competing or cooperating with that power.
532
00:36:17,342 --> 00:36:20,095
533
00:36:22,597 --> 00:36:27,102
It was inevitable that that band would be
as big as it would become then.
534
00:36:27,143 --> 00:36:28,812
No doubt about it.
535
00:36:28,812 --> 00:36:34,567
And it was inevitable that when Neil joined the group,
536
00:36:34,567 --> 00:36:37,529
that became
Crosby, Stills, Nash And Young,
537
00:36:37,529 --> 00:36:40,156
that, inherent to that greatness,
538
00:36:40,198 --> 00:36:42,700
it was the seed of its destruction.
539
00:36:42,742 --> 00:36:47,622
for a while...
540
00:36:47,664 --> 00:36:52,460
A ambi��o m�tua de Crosby, Stills, Nash e Young
541
00:36:52,502 --> 00:36:55,088
brought them fame and fortune,
542
00:36:55,130 --> 00:36:59,634
but over the next ten years, the
their early potential would be wasted
543
00:36:59,676 --> 00:37:04,139
between conflicting egos, drug addiction
and celebrity traps,
544
00:37:04,180 --> 00:37:10,979
and how the collective spirit of the 60s gave way to a
was that it would come to be known as the 'decade of the self',
545
00:37:11,020 --> 00:37:14,899
the solo singer-songwriters of LA
found their voices.
546
00:37:36,004 --> 00:37:37,922
When listening to music,
547
00:37:37,964 --> 00:37:41,843
look at the social forces that
surrounded her when she left.
548
00:37:44,471 --> 00:37:46,347
Look at what happened that year.
549
00:37:50,143 --> 00:37:53,563
In the summer of 1969, there was
a genuine feeling
550
00:37:53,605 --> 00:37:58,526
that the collective values of generation
Woodstock could change the world.
551
00:37:58,526 --> 00:38:02,572
At the end of the year, that optimism
it would be practically destroyed.
552
00:38:04,407 --> 00:38:07,494
The Martin Luther King murders
553
00:38:07,535 --> 00:38:10,914
e Robert F Kennedy
554
00:38:10,955 --> 00:38:12,832
rocked our world so much ...
555
00:38:14,959 --> 00:38:17,962
but in 69 ...
556
00:38:18,004 --> 00:38:22,091
Charles Manson visited Los Angeles,
557
00:38:22,091 --> 00:38:26,137
and that changed the situation forever.
558
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:31,726
at the edge of town
559
00:38:32,936 --> 00:38:37,524
cos we don't come around...
560
00:38:37,565 --> 00:38:42,237
'The Manson Family has become
the most notorious of the hippie groups ...
561
00:38:42,278 --> 00:38:45,782
'It is said that they were a
pseudo-religious cult.
562
00:38:45,823 --> 00:38:49,744
'People who worked on the ranch said
that they were heavy drug users. '
563
00:38:49,786 --> 00:38:52,872
We went on horseback on that farm.
564
00:38:52,914 --> 00:38:54,916
We met some of the people.
565
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:58,962
It was terrifying.
566
00:38:59,003 --> 00:39:02,090
'Among his followers,
family members,
567
00:39:02,090 --> 00:39:04,467
'Manson is considered a saint.
568
00:39:04,509 --> 00:39:05,468
'Many call him Jesus.'
569
00:39:05,510 --> 00:39:09,973
It was the commune that failed, wasn't it?
570
00:39:10,014 --> 00:39:13,268
571
00:39:13,309 --> 00:39:16,521
572
00:39:16,563 --> 00:39:19,232
573
00:39:19,274 --> 00:39:21,901
574
00:39:21,943 --> 00:39:24,028
I have no great illusion.
575
00:39:24,070 --> 00:39:27,282
I know what I've been doing,
and no man can judge me.
576
00:39:27,323 --> 00:39:29,659
I think myself.
What have you been doing, Charlie?
577
00:39:29,701 --> 00:39:37,000
This crazy, wrong cultism,
drug-driven ... Satanism ...
578
00:39:37,041 --> 00:39:43,464
touched the irrationality of the greatest
thing that sustained the power of the flower,
579
00:39:43,506 --> 00:39:48,636
that was the sense of unbridled optimism
e integra��o social e confian�a,
580
00:39:48,678 --> 00:39:53,766
and all of that was destroyed.
It was like the snake that entered the Garden.
581
00:40:01,274 --> 00:40:06,821
The killing of the Manson gang embarrassed and
terrified the LA alternative art community,
582
00:40:06,863 --> 00:40:11,117
in which he had been a well-known
although its presence is poorly tolerated.
583
00:40:12,660 --> 00:40:18,458
Three months later, at an open show of the Rolling Stones
in Altamont, near San Francisco,
584
00:40:18,499 --> 00:40:22,128
the counterculture dealt with
another devastating blow.
585
00:40:29,927 --> 00:40:31,971
It was crazy, man.
586
00:40:34,390 --> 00:40:37,435
The Hell's Angels were the security guards.
587
00:40:37,477 --> 00:40:40,521
They were drinking cheap wine.
588
00:40:40,563 --> 00:40:42,690
They were loaded in PCP ...
589
00:40:42,690 --> 00:40:44,233
and acid.
590
00:40:44,275 --> 00:40:46,861
And the situation got really ugly.
591
00:40:49,989 --> 00:40:51,991
Everyone can just vacate!
592
00:40:53,951 --> 00:40:56,287
You will vacate, everyone!
593
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:05,505
Altamont's definitive moment was the assassination
of an audience member named Meredith Hunter
594
00:41:05,546 --> 00:41:06,964
by a member of the Hell's Angels gang.
595
00:41:07,006 --> 00:41:11,886
People were killed on stage.
596
00:41:11,928 --> 00:41:17,308
While the Stones sang "Sympathy For The Devil",
everybody, "this is not ok at all."
597
00:41:22,980 --> 00:41:24,190
That was death in his own backyard.
598
00:41:24,232 --> 00:41:26,734
It happened where people were congregating.
599
00:41:26,776 --> 00:41:29,487
It became bigger than life.
600
00:41:29,529 --> 00:41:33,866
And it all happened within months of
woodstock festival,
601
00:41:33,908 --> 00:41:36,077
where everything had blossomed,
602
00:41:36,119 --> 00:41:40,748
and the feeling of real possibility, of
suddenly you were brought well to Altamont.
603
00:41:45,420 --> 00:41:48,214
There was a feeling, in a way,
604
00:41:48,214 --> 00:41:51,592
like the discovery of AIDS,
that the party was ending.
605
00:41:56,889 --> 00:42:00,935
It looked like it was a period for declining.
606
00:42:00,935 --> 00:42:07,275
The new decade brought a change in the emotional landscape
of LA's emerging songwriters,
607
00:42:07,316 --> 00:42:12,113
as the failure in the collectivity
gave way to personal power.
608
00:42:12,155 --> 00:42:16,909
Here is another really new one that doesn’t
is finished, just for fun.
609
00:42:16,951 --> 00:42:22,623
I think, if you listen to the material, you can
see how everyone was changed forever.
610
00:42:26,753 --> 00:42:32,508
In 1970, Joni Mitchell, who two years earlier
wrote the song song for Woodstock,
611
00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:37,180
recorded a collection of songs
surprisingly autobiographical.
612
00:42:37,221 --> 00:42:42,143
It was the basis of an album that would come to
become the definitive statement
613
00:42:42,185 --> 00:42:44,437
of the confessional composition.
614
00:42:45,980 --> 00:42:47,982
In my first week in college,
615
00:42:48,024 --> 00:42:50,693
she called and asked if
I would come to California
616
00:42:50,693 --> 00:42:55,031
to take some pictures of her. She was
writing the songs for Blue.
617
00:42:55,072 --> 00:43:00,077
and I am travelling
618
00:43:00,119 --> 00:43:05,082
and in me
619
00:43:05,124 --> 00:43:09,086
620
00:43:09,086 --> 00:43:11,839
621
00:43:13,508 --> 00:43:17,136
that could be...
622
00:43:17,136 --> 00:43:22,934
In terms of composition, the majority of
composers still reverence that album
623
00:43:28,689 --> 00:43:35,988
624
00:43:36,030 --> 00:43:39,075
Blue is an irresistible album.
625
00:43:39,116 --> 00:43:42,119
626
00:43:42,161 --> 00:43:44,831
627
00:43:46,123 --> 00:43:48,292
628
00:43:48,292 --> 00:43:52,004
Suddenly, there's this woman writing
about personal relationships
629
00:43:52,046 --> 00:43:55,007
on one level
630
00:43:55,049 --> 00:43:57,969
that deeply affected.
