Donovan was always kind of the court jester of every genre he adopted. Let us sing! Let us dance! All Hail Atlantis!

I was watching the night this aired. I was 13. Haven't seen it since so I say thanks for posting. Listen to Donavan when he starts to sing - because he could sing!

My parents were not fans of the music I was listening to in the mid 1960's BUT when I watched this on TV and my mother listened too, she commented that "they guy can really sing - he has such a pretty voice".

Wow, to think that all those kids in the audience are now in their late 60's and early 70's. Man, where has the time gone?

I agree, I am 77. Followed him from his beginnings. Where did the time go?

Hail Atlantis!

One of my favorite songs from the '60's (and I have lots). Always fascinated with Atlantis. Great song, great vid.

Donovan is an Icon!

I always tell my friends you’re gonna like this artist, he’s alright, he’s a good fella

Great song ever written Donovan is an ícone . My ídolo adolescência and teenager ❤❤❤ Thank you Sir Donovan

i'll admit i wasnt around during the 60's but gotta love the music.

I love this version when the crowd starts singing

I lucidly remember listening and attempting to play along with this with my guitar in the hot summer of 1969 in my bedroom..

Christ, I feel old. I remember when this was broadcasted live.

Loved this song when I was a kid and still do

Yes, "Atlantis" came out as a single in the spring of '69, and on lp in August in the US. On a warm spring day in the spring of '71, Donovan's subterranean chant wafts from an open third story window of Rose Hall on the Edinboro State College of Pennsylvania campus... timeless... "Where I wanna be"

I don't remember the first time i heard it but, everytime I do it just makes me feel good :) Hail Atlantis!

Moje vzpomínky na mládí.

All of Donovan’s songs speak to my heart, soul and mind. Listening to Atlantis calms me SO MUCH more than any of my many mantras! ☮️💟 + 🌊

Damn! Those eyes! Ripped up my soul! D:

A mighty wind is truly blowing

Donovan of Friends ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

He was always brilliant with the Smothers Brothers

true hippie in every sense of the word

I haven't heard this song in a few years. It's always been one of my favorites. Yeah, 50 plus years have gone by since those times. Hail Atlantis!

Ah, one of the VERY few Hippie songs that I like.

fucking awesome song, still stands the test of time.

Catch Donovan in the comedy movie ‘if it’s Tuesday this must be Belgium’. 1968 I think

Eu adorava esta música!

Way down below the ocean..where I want to be, she may be. LOVE this song.

Beautiful ❤

I love that "what the hell am I doing here?" look on his face!

He is definitely on extreme heavy drugs!i will put all my money on that!!!

an absolute poet love his stuff ....peace love and im gone :)

I JUST LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Donovan From Scotland 👍

I may have once thought that this was a bunch of pretension, but now, it's cool, especially the beginning monolog. Just explain the greatness of the place, then sing about your desire to be there. It works!

oh god i think he and this song are so epically beautiful

"Donovan was and is a Magician in our Time , as a seer and Poet , .

70 years in the great singer, songwriter Donavan sang the song Atlantis The Missing Continent today after 2010 years in the fight for the Planet Earth does not disappear as well, motivated by the actions of man himself, causing global warming and help save the little what remains of Nature and Life.

My godness! it´s such a great song! I love it.

legend song

I saw him 5 years ago up in Portland OR. I was expecting him to look all old and ragid like bobby d but man he was looking sharp and sounding like he was in his 20's .You rule Donovan, Hail the Atlantis.......

that was really groovy!!

God Damnit! Why is he so beautiful!!!! What an inspiring man

Damn, what kinda drugs did he take? I want some! Actually, I love Donovan, then and now. He is just about the sweetest person ever.

He was an avid practitioner of TM.

i've always liked the sound of a large number of voices singing in unisine, specially if its done right like this.

2old2Rock, thank you for this and "Day is Done". I wish today's generation could see and hear these gems and feel the meaning.

Its all hypnotic mind control and predective programming.

my fav love it thnx Doctor Donovan

Großartig =)

what a moment

he was one of the TRUE artists of the human race, same with Bob Dylan, Johhny Cash and a bunch of other bands of the 60's

I rubbed shoulders with Donovan when he was coming out of a book store last year (2006), and I remember when this was live on TV. 1968 or '69, I want to guess.

ironically , this song was used in "Goodfellas" in the scene where DeNiro and Pesci stomp Frank Vincent into the floor of Liotta's seedy bar before they load him into the trunk of the car.....That's some film lmaking....only from Scorcese

@Irishpubish Maybe they were who cares? Donovan has also been practicing TM (Transcendental Meditation) for so many years that now he gets high meditating. The music sure sounds beautiful. I just love Donovan's voice and style.

Shame on the people who only know this song because of that movie , Donovan was a genius

oh my got. Peter Paul and Mary. The Smothers Brothers. Too cool man.

This song is so wonderful, thanks for this video. Donovan is so dreamy and he's a genius. I've never heard anyone sum up Atlantis so well and eloquently - plus I just enjoy his way of casting aside all the world's religions and cultures in favor of his own mythology.

Yeah, I saw them in Houston on that tour. Was great!

Take or leave it! That's the way it was and is! ∞

Genius

Hail Atlantis....

Hey Jude topped the charts in September 1968, Atlantis did in July 1969 so this one came after, and yes, I agree too that this is influenced by Hey Jude, nonetheless, I believe that Donovan is a genius that shines with his own light :)

I don't see any similarities in the music, but it was Donovan that taught John and Paul guitar techniques in India that ended on the White Album as Blackbird, Julia, Mother Nature's Son and Dear Prudence. The influence was more in the other direction.

​@@stickman1742 It reminds me more of Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey.

Fantastic song! Great song! I want to see atlantis

this guy can sing..

This song was in the top 10 in the world charts in 1969

this was one of the first great rock songs

This is awesome.

Schön!

down below the ocean! were I want to be...she may be! ftw..

It had been in news stories that Donovan Sr. had rejected him from the time he was first born. The mother does not need to get the permission of the father to give the child the name "Donovan"; the father doesn't hold a copyright on the name. Donovan Jr. looks very much like Donovan Sr. did in his youth.

so geil ich liebe diesen song! boah bin ich betrunken

It was top 10

homeboy knows his history!!!!!!!!

Saw him in the mid-seventies in a small movie theatre in Toronto. I guess that's what it came down to. I remember he came out by himself. Isaid to myself, self, what the fuck. Where's the band? Best goddam show I saw that year!

i lOVE ATLANtiS it was REAL, DoNovan had the right idea!!

He's doing something different, great song

This is a typical example of the media blowing things out of proportion - I can assure you he has been a wonderful, involved, and loving father to all his children.

Bellissimo video, grazie

I'd bet that the audience and background singing was choreographed by Tommy Smothers. He was really the brains behind the operation.

Thank god the magician made it on the boat!!!!!

The continent of Atlantis was an island which lay before the great flood in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean. So great an area of land, that from her western shores those beautiful sailors journeyed to the South and the North Americas with ease, in their ships with painted sails. To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles.

the best !!!

Love to hear Mort Sahl talk about this.

superbe je connaissais pas Donovan; mais la chanson il me semble l'avoir déjà entendu

Does anyone have the clip of him singing Atlantis when we was on,I believe, the Andy Williams Show. Dressed in white and several white robed children (or that is what sticks in my mind) it was absolutely beautiful and the most memorable of performances. We saw him in San Antonio in 1971-2 in what was an absolutely beautiful and awesome performance. I would love to see him again.

Música que comove pacíficos!

Ah those were the days.

i love the futurama version of this "hail Atlanta!"

This song is best suited to when they're wrapping up the old guys body in Goodfella's..

The Smother's Brothers Comedy concert hour. What year? Please credit. These things didn't happen in a vacuum, someones set up the opportunity. May it be so again. Not all is about getting and spending, thank you artists, support real people. Thank you for sharing this. Hail peaceful people

Because for many people the only Scottish accent they know is Willie from the Simpsons.

Magic!!!!! (HU)

Way to sound crazy.

Goodness gracious. Humans are funny.

I agree, but I can still dig the hell outta some Donovan.

I think with back up singers and more instruments this could be one of the greatest songs

Atlantis live!
