I long for the day that some more music and perhaps live footage of Fred is released. It would be such a pleasure to see. I'm still grateful he left us with what he did. His voice is unmatched.

Does anyone know when this was? My dad always tells a story about seeing Joni at The Flick between 1966-1967

I'm reading it right now and am enjoying it very much! Thank you for telling his story.

"I've got it bad, and that ain't good" ❤

She even sings when she speaks

Both have passed away within several months of each other.

Spent many an evening at The Flick listening to great music there in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Wonderful memories of superb times.

Among many musical heroes, Fred Neil is the first, the one at the top. My musical world turned on its axis when I first heard his voice and 12-string together. I am really looking forward to getting hold of this book. Thank you so much for researching and writing it.

Absolutely love Fred Neil! It would seem we have John Sebastian to thank for getting Fred Neil onto record in his later career - it seems Fred himself was not terribly interested in recording. Also John plays some really excellent harmonica on the Bleeker and Macdougall recording.

From the album rappin with Jimmie rowles , l have that album , l met Jimmie Rowles when l was a kid , he came to my mothers Subday jam sessions .. l had the smazing opportunity to sit on apartment steps , and rapped with Jimmie Rowles too .. bless them both , Genius

TY for this upload! ❤

Reading the book now. It’s excellent. I have played a couple of Fred Neil’s guitars and they are magical. The Miguel 12 string needs repair but is still around. His son Christopher has the guitars. He is also a musician and super spiritual person who “hears/sees music in nature.” I am blessed to have met him and now to learn about his dad. Thanks for sharing your thoughts about this amazing music man. ❤

I love Freddy! His songs were so good I guess he could just live off others playing them. But his voice might be the best in rock music. I would want to strangle him too! Because he had such power to move folks with that incredible voice! That kick ass rhythm too.

Peter nerf shoure we can talk 😊

You could tell by the sound everything was going swell down at the dinner key hotel walking down bay shoure drive on a Saturday night hand made music filling the air o what a delight you can tell by the smell everything was going swell down at the dinner key hotell

I moved to coconut grove 1977 78. Met and became good frends with Fred Neal great human being brought out a side of my self I never knew existed. And for that I will be forever great full one day we will all meat again untle then 😊❤

I was there in 1969, Ron Kickasola remembered Jak Kelly, and I from the Raven Gallery in Michigan . Was happy to see us

I was there many times - Fred Neil absolutely did perform there! Martin and Neil were perfect together.

Great tune! The stuff of true love.

It's a damn travesty that the gov't and all her boyfriends and so called friends did her SO DAMN DIRTY. Billie should have gotten her flowers when she was still here,😭 jealousy is a MFer! She wasn't a threat to the gov't so why????? did they come after her? There's way more to the story and as many of you well know the gov't is the one that creates the drugs all around the world...the elites are the ones who instruct the gov't what to do and who to eliminate.

Just talking about the flick the other day with a friend very exciting that Vince Martin is coming I loved him back then as a high school girl not to mention the Slick deep voice of Fred Neil

Happy heavenly birthday 🎉

These stories and recollections are pure gold.

Just finished the book and I cried. Cried for Fred...cried for all of us. Can anyone tell me who plays piano on December's Dream...just beautiful!! Nowhere to be found in the liner notes. John

Different boats floating with different folks. Not uncommon.

What a treat…stumbled on this at the end of an awful day , and it cheered me so-much…love, suzy.😘😎💙🕊️

Such a sweet sweet version guys, so, so sweet.

true legend. God bless & RIP.

Tim Buckley's guitarist friend Lee Underwood told me about him and said how much Tim looked up to him. Thank you for writing your book!.

Its ironic people talked down about her voice towards the end, when its her, in my opinion, seasoned voice was what she was most famous for later. And I say seasoned because it had a spice to it and you felt every single word to your core. When people immitate her voice its the character towards the end that people add to sound more like her. I think her end voice was her best voice because the imperfection made it amazing❤

Thank you for sharing this! I so loved these guys. It's sad to know they're gone, that that era is gone. At least we have these reels to look back on. Peace...

this was the album for me Vince and Fred were my world in 1964

Unfortunately I can't buy the book here in Ireland... Big fan of Fred.

I didn’t even know that there was a book about Fred. I will be looking for it. Love Fred’s music.

1967 the flick and the gaslight on Virginia and Grand...God those times were sweet/bitter❤

I'm furious with the author, thank you. He mentions 'Blues On the Ceiling' twice, without a word about the how/why, and his publishing company is Blue Ceiling! .. So why the upset? The song was written about his then-girlfriend Laura's ceiling. In the mid-'70's, I worked with Berkeley feminist Laura X (yes, the same) on the Save KMPX (a radio station with a unique format) Campaign, and she told me the story, let me tape his LPs. She's in dire straits today ..

A tremendous influence in my life.....

She lived a very fast paced life since she was child and only lived to the age of 44. She accomplished so much in a very short time . I hate the fact she preferred to stay high on drugs and or intoxicated. Her voice really wasn't old it was from all of the substance abuse and her life style. Regardless, of her decisions , I will always love her music.

Hi Peter just finished the book. Fantastic! Could not put it down. Thanks for getting Fred's story out there!👍

about the same period they played at the gaslight in the grove with john sebastion on mouth harp-

Not only very talented, she was such a stunning woman. I wish she knew that. Still I am grateful for her existence and the Body of work she left. There is no one quite like her. She is still in her.own lane. One of my favorite songs by her is and always will be the duet with Louis Armstrong 'Sweet Hunk ofTrash The song 's arrangement and lyrics are perfectly interpreted with such light hearted humor and Genius by this pair of true Musicians. Thank you for sharing.

Loved the Grove in the 60's..omg The gaslight Fred Neil, Vince Martin! Such sweet good times!!..native Florida Girl🦩🦩🦩

Spectacular, Bravo Mr. Peter 👏 🙏

Thank you for this video and for your fantastic book. I’ve got to admit that it’s strange learning more about ones father from a book than the man man himself, but dad was a strange one. Slainté!

👏 👏 👏

Beautiful !

I was stunned when I saw above that there was no evidence that Fred Neil played the Flick--that was where I saw him, more than once--but I see that tapes have since been provided by Mike Merrill and Lenny Michaelson, who I played with a lot (more than I studied) at the University of South Florida, and onstage at the Beaux Arts in Pinellas Park (St. Petersburg), which we much later discovered was (allegedly) the oldest coffee house in the South, played at by gods of folk music like Woody Guthrie, remembered now (if at all) because Jim Morrison read his poems there in 1962, while he was attending St. Petersburg Junior College. We were there a couple years later, missing our brush with greatness.😄
