The Big Chill - Deluxe Edition Writer/director Lawrence Kasdan's The Big Chill was one of Hollywood's first forays into baby-boomer navel-gazing, an examination of 60's idealism gone sour during the subsequent selfish excesses of the Me Decade and Go-Go 80's.

Live at Royal Albert Hall 1971 From their earliest days as 12-string-wielding folk-rockers, to the thrilling psychedelic excursions of their raga-rock period to their 1968 birthing of country-rock, the Byrds were always accorded a hero's welcome in England.

Not Complete and Exploitive
They added songs that are NOT on the soundtrack, yet left off songs that ARE on the sound track!! -E.g. Little Eva "Let's Turkey Trot" and Moby Grape's "The Trip". The Little Eva side was a particularly poignant piece given the context of the film. Plus, there were many segue-ways, edits and incidentals; some done by the Byrds and Clarence White, that are still sitting on 35mm mag rotting in a closet somewhere. Mr. Fonda, Mr. Hopper and Mr. McGuinn, puhleese do something!! And, what in the name of Sam Snead does Thunderclap Newman's "Something In The Air" have to do with the original Easy Rider soundtrack or the price of arse in China? Buy the old version and just add the missing songs as catch-can. Geese, what flaming imbeciles.

What A Long Strange Trip Its Been
". To this day, the image of Fonda and Hopper careening helmet less down the open highway to the tune of Steppenwolf's "Born to be Wild" defines the American biker motif more clearly than any Hell's Angel could ever hope to." Bart Zeigler "Get your motor runnin' Head out on the highway Lookin' for adventure And whatever comes our way" Steppenwolf- "Born To be Wild' 37 years after 'Easy Rider' was first shown and the soundtrack heard it has become a favorite again. I was prepared to think I remembered the music, the music of an American myth, with antiheroes riding from the West only this time on bikes into the evil of middle America. I thought the best thing about the film was the soundtrack. It was an important film but not a very good one. Then I watched it, and I was hooked from scene one. Each and every one of the 29 songs brings back memories for me and for the hippies of that era. How can we forget the love, the flower power, the ecstasy and agony of the time? The soundtrack of Easy Rider reminds us of an easier time in some ways. A reflection of our souls and how we came to be shaped. Easy Rider is a lengthy music video for the '60s culture. But it is also an honest perspective on the counterculture movement. Fonda and Hopper's portrayal of that experience is free of the romanticized tone that characterizes so many other films from this era. Fonda's dialogue the night before his death is a purveyor of things to come. Hopper is happy because they've made it to their destination with their drug money. "We blew it," Fonda tells him. "We blew it, man." Heavy. "Easy Rider is the late 1960s "road film" tale of a search for freedom ( in a conformist and corrupt America, in the midst of paranoia, bigotry and violence. Released in the year of the Woodstock concert, and made in a year of two tragic assassinations (Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King), the Vietnam War buildup and Nixon's election, the tone of this 'alternative' film is remarkably downbeat and bleak, reflecting the collapse of the idealistic 60s. This is a reflection of the hopes of liberation and fears of the Establishment." Roger Ebert 'Easy Rider' soundtrack took to me a place and time I knew intimately, and I was transported back to those not so innocent happy times. 'What a long strange trip it's been'. 'Truckin' Grateful Dead "Sometimes the light's all shining on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurs to me What a long strange trip it's been " Highly, Heartily, Recommended. prisrob 10-06-07
