West Pole 1968
<\/span>KQED-TV Aug-16-68.  West Pole was an audiovisual essay on the San Francisco adult rock sound hosted by Ralph J. Gleason.  Look for excellent outside street footage around the Fillmore, Avalon and Carousel ballrooms and clubs like the Matrix, etc.  Long lines waiting to get into the Carousel to see the Butterfield Blues Band and Fleetwood Mac.  Young fans are interviewed on the sidewalk and asked about the scene and their favorite bands.  Vintage footage of Van Ness & Market St.  There’s a scrolling list of a 135 local groups.  Lots of hippy action in Golden Gate Park and the Panhandle.<\/p>\n

Live in-studio performances by Ace Of Cups: “Music”, “Simplicity”, “Gospel Song”, and Sons Of Camplain: “Freedom”.  Trippy psychdelic music videos featuring The Steve Miller Band: “Roll With It”, “Sittin’ In Circles”.  Jefferson Airplan: “Greasy Heart”.  Grateful Dead: “New Potato Caboose”.<\/p>\n
