Wait a minute

I would have loved it if the two characters from Easy Rider had walked past him when he was standing outside the cemetery😎 The punk couple were cool mind.

I was actually half expecting them to be part of a skit he was building up to.

It looked so utterly real.. Acid back them was very potent...Not surprised at all to hear it was a genuine 'Bad' trip.

From what I understand, all the New Orleans scenes in Easy Rider were not shot during principal photography with a 35 mm camera, but are actually just 16 mm films shot as a proposal to make the movie. And that was before they had 16 mm film with T-grain, to make the 16 mm comparable to 35 in image quality. That's why the image quality at Mardi Gras and the Cemetery is so poor...

You have got to be the most charismatic dude on KZread. Period. I LOLed when you did your “Helloooooo Dolly” impersonation 😂!

Mercifully I never had a 'Bad Trip'...It was always that unknown quantity...''Would this be a good or bad trip?''...... I am too old for it now, but very grateful I had the experiences. But the scene so looks so realistic.........I didn't realise they were actually tripping, but thought it was extremely well acted. Acid was very potent then. Operation Julie bust made me realise where our acid came from...Locally! After the bust it tripled in price. Made at a suburban house in Hampton, nr Kingston upon Thames. House still stands. They were in cahoots with some Americans too, Brotherhood of Eternal Love...maybe the makers of this stuff in the film?

wealth only closes a man's reputation, and determines it, as good or bad. We blew it, Billy.

Hey great video, really like to hear the history of the Italian tomb. One thing though Fonda had said that real LSD wasn't used for that scene, only real grass in the earlier scenes. Love your channel though keep up the good work!

It looked bloody real... Weed in those days wasn't that potent..

Cannabis has helped me but never has it been super crazy like that. Craziest thing I laughed for 30 mins after a stand-up joke. Well and the munchies.

Same here..No weed {even today's super THC strains} are ''that'' strong..It looked like genuine tripping to me.

That scene in _Easy Rider_ was most definitely NOT the first time Jack Nicholson ever smoked weed. He indulged before he even began his acting career, as he said on a number of occasions. And he had been an actor for a number of AIP movies ( _The Raven_ ) years before _Easy Rider_ .

yeah jack was hippy at the time who was gutted about cutting his hair for the part in the film. I remember hearing Peter Fonda say they gave him some strong grass to make it hit him hard as he already had a tolerance.

I legit just went to New Orleans yesterday and today I went to that cemetery and visited that tomb, we went and saw the grave of the voodoo queen and all that stuff. Our tour guide talked about the movie and why we can’t film.

I heard a report Glen Danzig andvthe misfits years ago went to dig up the Voodoo Queen.

WOW like the sculptor my sister and I never got paid we were in the cemetery scene my sister said the PRAYERS

Peter Fonda had such a range in his acting. This is the same guy who played a depressed grandpa in the first Thomas The Tank Engine movie.

Thanks for the history lesson man

Great vid👏

Don’t forget that those scenes he mentions (from Easy Rider and Bonnie and Clyde) became possible to show in American film because the Production Code was on its way out. It made Hollywood basically censor itself for about 3 decades, although it became more difficult to enforce by the 1960s. It was eventually replaced by the current rating system in 1968, the year before Easy Rider’s release.

great job thanks bud

I like the scene best in which the punk couple randomly walks into the picture...✊😁👍

Lovely Toni Basil!

Archbishop Hannan was not only a great prelate, a compassionate pastor, but a legendary hardass as well. As a chaplain in WWII, he made combat jumps. I can imagine him putting the hammer to disrespect of the cemetery. However, it kept on in my day. In the 1970s, I remember as a young man that people reached into dilapidated tombs to remove human bones. I almost fell off my chair when you mentioned the tombs were a "Catholic slow cooker crematorium." My wife and I lived in Gentilly. I miss the city and sometimes I wake up with a powerful hunger for a Mother's roast beef po boy with debris. Love your videos!

You showed up in my reccomendations recently, I forget which one, maybe one of the Lincolnite ones, but I loved the history stuff. But I ADORE the crossover of history and movies. Easy Rider is always one of my favorite movies. On my bucket list, I feel like I need to either recreate Easy Rider or Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, at least once in my life. Pssst. If you're ever in Pennsylvania I got the acid hookups.

no thumbs down so far - you did something right...

I tripped out when I seen ol Jackie nick in the original "little shop of horrors"

I think this would have been better if the host was indeed on acid...

I think it would a lot better if "I" we're on acid

Dam I was thinking about Dracula 2000 and their it pops. LOL

I used to park on St. Louis when I worked in the quarter

Cool.

I've been dosed without knowing and it is terrifying. I have to be ready, not working in my airbrush shop in myrtle beach during the July 4th rush. I stuck it out but fuck was I anxious the entire time. Had to go to the beach for an hour to take a breather....and watch the fireworks. That made things a little better lol

acid is rad

by the way, peter fondas mother has died before shooting the new orleans lsd horror trip. and the guy who prays at the cemetary with his sister (2:41) comments videos here on yt about this scene, saying that they didn't give permission to use this in the film. i think he has a french name, like many in louisiana

What about the 'Originals' scenes in the cemetery?

I didn't get high the first time I toked a j. I _thought_ I was high, but I definitely wasn't.

HA, Nicholson wasn't made a star from Easy Rider, he was made a star from Little Shop of Horrors, not the musical!

Dennis Hopper MUST have smelt so bad it woke the dead!

so if you filmed there whats the Penalty is it worth the Penalty ? and that Exit is trippy.. ... trippy

Did the statue on the tomb lose a hand?

Best movie cause they just threw away the script and just said screw it lets get high

Wow, he dug his own grave.

That's the difference between certain people then and certain people now. They were professionals not only with their work but also with their sharing and interactions with that time and place. It was freedom that most will never know sadly.

I ~DEFINITELY~ don't want any acid from New Orleans. That would be ~ILLEGAL~ and "against the law". I do however, after watching half of your New Orleans series need to come visit for obviously unrelated reasons.

Burners or the Darkweb is where you get acid. Come on.

@5:00 straight up babe

“I always wanted to be pretty…” 😢 😭

Bro I have some orange man bad trump paper that coming from California that’s so clean bro it’s ridiculous

hi,we just did a short redo video.check it out.
