Semi-interesting hippy anti-establishment anti-documentary
|
And odd little stream of conciousness anti-documentary. I'd had the movie soundtrack for years, and just managed to track a copy of the film down through trader's circles.
There isn't much point in trying to give a narrative about this film, it's rather stream-of-conciousness, "the moment of an experience" the soundtrack's liner notes say. There's hippies dancing and riding motorcycles and getting high and playing in a fountain and dancing. There's footage from some sort of Be-In, and a lot of forgettable folk-rock music done by Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul & Mary, John Simon, and The Electric Flag and Paul Butterfield also play a tune apiece. The only performer you actually get to *see* perform is Tiny Tim, he sings "Be My Baby" solo, and does a duet of Sonny & Cher's "I Got You Babe" with an otherwise unknown Elanor Baruchian (who was she, anyway?), Barry McGuire and David Crosby make cameos if you have sharp eyes. Contrary to popular myth, neither Frank Zappa or the Mothers appear in either the footage or sountrack to this film.
If you were in Frisco during the "Summer Of Love" this film will probably delight you. Otherwise, it's unremarkable except for the relatively rare Tiny Tim performance; in this one his stage fright is almost tangible, and his falsetto almost impossibly high. Not all of this film is of the Frisco scene: Mr. Tim's performance was recorded (and assumedly filmed) in Woodstock, N.Y. in the basement of Bob Dylan's "Big Pink" house, his backing band in this film and soundtrack were, interestingly, about to become known around the world as "The Band." |
