Hello:
I have been dreading this task for 5 months. But working with anything that has Jerry Garcia in it, is a labor of love that can't be put into words.
I edited 90 unseen silent news film clips back together into a seamless video of 9 minutes and 32 seconds of the Great Human Be In at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco on January 14th of 1967.
Of that, I only have a few minutes of video of the band the Grateful Dead on stage and a lot of footage the Great Human Be crowd scene
There is even a 10 second snippet in the middle, of the Grateful Dead performing at Columbia University in New York a year later.
I used the audio to the Grateful Dead’s set of 1.14.1967 that I had on disc here
I selected the song Morning Dew; remastered and overdubbed it onto this video.

From Wikipedia:
"Morning Dew" became a signature song of the Grateful Dead whose frontman Jerry Garcia was introduced to the Fred Neil recording by roadie Laird Grant in 1966. The Grateful Dead introduced "Morning Dew" into their repertoire as their opening number at the Human Be-In in January 1967: that same month the group recorded their self-titled debut album featuring "Morning Dew" and released that March.

Google / YouTube contacted me to point out that I won some kind of award and the tools they supply me with are amazing. Something I was not aware of.
They Google internet security advisor pointed out that 92% of a videos of mine that have a single dislike is from the same person (IP), without even viewing the video. They just don't like me.
I went to my YouTube's channel analytical data to find out, this is only happening on the videos I post here at Viva that I just uploaded. Second later, the dislike
What might be trolling to this person is now a test bed of how to deal with this issue.
I used the posting of this video's announcement here as that test - & 2 minutes later, there was a dislike on this video. YouTube contacted me, as I was reaching out to them.
If you do not like me and you are not banned already here. Your best bet is to get your aggressions out here. Not on YouTube
Because YouTube is Google & they can make the internet a not such a fun place for you.
I am on a Beta test with them, not just with their security, creative, and upload power. It's how I have dealt with Sony, Warner Brothers, The Frank Zappa estate, Grateful Dead properties, and the family & estate of Jerry Garcia. Just to name a few. Just to spread some music.
We will figure out what to do & will not let one looser ruin the party.
Peace be with you

Yes, I have 248 subscribers that do receive an email a few hours later, well after I posted the "You Saw It Here First" post here.
All of my subscribers are amazingly supportive even if the video sucks. Truly heartwarming.

Hey Bluelight, Great video! I
Hey Bluelight, Great video! I must inform you that the Grateful Dead portions of the video are not from 1/14/67. Jerry played a cherry red 1964 Guild Starfire III and wore a red sweater for that one. Your GD segments are from 6/21/67 where Jerry wore the striped red and blue shirt and played a black 1957 Gibson.

My first year of college, I was assigned a roommate who had never drank or used drugs and wasn't partaking in college.
One day he came back to our room and asked me if he could borrow a big pillow I had on my bed. He took it over to his bed, sat down, and punched the pillow repeatedly for about a minute, then gave me the pillow back and calmly said "thank you".
I stuck with the pots.

Slipnut, the photographer
Slipnut, the photographer/producer from my GD footage is still alive and I have his contact information.
This time and dated is verified news reel footage that was archived on the week after the Human Be In. 1/1967
Before, I reach out to him and his staff & compose a letter of thanks and lightly bring up the archive's date.
Please do a lot of footwork to find out the source's date from the footage/pictures you are comparing this to.
I will then update all my information & have the BBC admin update the file's date

Paging slipknot. Did you try
Paging slipknot. Did you try and contact me this morning point on YT pointing out the GD miss date? If not, then we have 2 fans, plus me, that's 3, that want to nail this date down. If possible
My copy of these news reels film snippets are first generation, all existing footage out previous to this came from CBC footage, which is 4-5 generations away from the BBC footage that I used.
There was an AP wire about the Dead grabbing equipment from Monterey 6/18 for 6/21. But I personally can't find a formal photograph of 6.21.67
I don't want to regurgitate wrong information.
I would re-title it 1967, before I used previous footage with the possible wrong date to reference as a date, since that footage is a copy of my first generation footage. The buck stops here with that
The Grateful Dead both formally and informally played several shows at various areas of Golden Gate Park; that were documented & undocumented. Even with limited funds, Jerry Garcia could have taken off a sweater or switched a guitar at any point of any show. Many of these shows had no permits as well
I'm toast..

I wasn't going to say
I wasn't going to say anything, but the long-shots and crowd shots from the OP's footage are clearly not from the Polo Fields, where the Human Be-In happened. This thread's footage looks like Speedway or Lindley Meadow, definitely not the Polo Fields.

Yes, I will rename it in 1967
Yes, I will rename it in 1967. But will not reference the Grateful Dead clips used as 6.21.67.
There were at least 8 shows at GG after 1/27/67 - before chocolate George's funeral on 8.28.67. Where Jerry is wearing the same shirt as the new clip. None of the prior footage are first generation other the what I used.
>>various areas of Golden Gate Park
If you read my text carefully on Youtube, I was very clear about using various clips, even one from 1968.

Did you watch the video I made until the end?
It's a travel through the field (I did in reverse). The final scene starting at the 9:32 mark,. The film camera is on a tripod filming the Highway/Street sign of Middle Drive entrance to the Polo Field.
This morning I have received a voice mail from this award winning cinematographer of this work "Bill" in the UK, saying, "Great job, I it thought it was trash & will try and dig up more clips and make the available. By the way regarding your question-, we were working for the BBC news agency at the time & stand by its location and date"
For what its worth...

I am embarrassed as you can
I am embarrassed as you can see by this video being done quickly without a game plan & was a mistake.
I am learning on the fly, I suppose.
I did not know I could publish a video privately and not publicly.
If ever given the opportunity to do this again with any content with Jerry Garcia in it. I will create the video to the best of my ability.
Then post the private link on Viva and help create it with much of the knowledgeable input available here. Even the soundtrack.
But, I am a nobody and don't see that opportunity happening again. But, if I cross the bridge again, will do a better job & confer here first & maker it as a team of Jerry's most dear fans.

Yeah I did, and I saw the shot of the sign, but none of the footage of the crowds or the band are taken from the Polo Fields.
It's still a good video, but you want to be accurate, right?

you might be right- however -
you might be right- however - the early color footage could be Polo Fields- judging by the hedges behind the stage- which matches the polo fields.
All other footage I've seen of the Be In- I don't think GD were attired the same- could be wrong though. So this may not be the Be-In. Dead did a lot of shows in the park back then.
All the BW footage is definitely Speedway- and the later color footage as well.
