‘God loves us when we dance’: 1967 gathering of the tribes in L.A.

image
 
Les Blank’s God Respects Us When We Work, But Loves Us When We Dance captures the dawning of the Aquarian Age. Feel the vibe.

Hippies and flower children dance and create rituals at the historic Los Angeles “Love-In” of Easter Sunday, 1967.  This ‘60s classic documents a once-in a lifetime phenomenon, preserving all the fashions, energy and idealism of the first “alternative lifestyles.” Psychedelic special effects!

I could watch hippies dancing for hours. It’s like meditating with your eyes open.
 

 
“A BBC Reporter uncovers the underground Hippie Culture in Los Angeles during a “Love In” featuring music by The Miller Blues Band (Steve Miller Band).” Chet Helms of the Family Dog introduces the band.
