...and l, I don't have to become

President of the United States.

And I don't have to go all that way up.

I don't have to make the climb.

Because there's nothing to climb for.

It's all sitting right here.

Do you have tickets to this thing?

No.

How are you going to get in?

I don't really know.

I figured, you know, once I got here...

...l'd see whatever happens

and go along with it.

It's like people that are nowhere

are coming here...

...because there are people

they think are somewhere...

...so everybody is really looking for,

you know, for some kind of answer.

Where there isn't one.

Why would three hundred thousand...

...or a hundred and

twenty thousand sixty thousand...

...seventy thousand people come

to anything just because it's music?

I mean, was music all that important?

I don't really think so.

People don't know, they don't know how

to live and they don't know what to do...

...and they think that if they...

...can come here they can find out.

You know, what it is...

...or how to maintain with it.

It's just like people

are very lost, I think.

America leads the whole

world in several ways.

Very recently, when

I was in the East...

...the grandson of Mahatma Gandhi...

...met me and asked me...

...what's happening in America?

And I said,

"America is becoming a whole."

"America is helping everybody..."

"...in the material field..."

"...but the time has come for

America to help the whole world..."

"...with spirituality, also."

"At the hop..."

"...we can rock to and fro and

never let go, at the hop, hop, hop."

"When the records are playing,

people eat a lot of chicken..."

"...at the hop, hop, hop."

"If you've got a little chicken, share

it with your baby, at the hop, hop, hop."

"Oh, baby, hop! Let's go to the hop.

Oh, baby, let's go to the hop."

"Oh, baby, let's go to the hop!

Oh, baby, let's go to the Hop!"

"Well, let us go now. Let's go to the

hop. Let's go to the hop, oh, baby!"

"Let's go to the hop, oh, baby.

Let's go to the hop."

"Go, go, let's go to the hop!

Let's go, go!"

"We will go rocking and rolling

and stomping at the hop!"

"When the records are playing and the

women start a-singing at the hop!"

"Oh, let's go now.

Let's go to the hop! "

"Let's go to the hop, oh baby.

Let's got to the hop, oh baby."

"Come on, let's go to the hop.

Hop!"

Ladies and gentlemen,

the Sha-Na-Na!

Harold, turn up the mike.

Now, very slowly, start coming back up.

Lower the lock and

pull yourself back up.

And then keep breathing

as fast as you can.

Then exhale.

And relax. Then just feel the energy.

These, these are all beginning

exercises of Kundalini Yoga.

Yoga means union.

It's the same energy force that

drugs give you with a rush.

Right? It's, it's the same channels...

...only drugs do it for you

and this way you can do it yourself.

You can do it when you want to...

...and you don't have to score

to be able to do it.

All you've got to score is some clean air.

I learned it in Los Angeles.

And there was only a couple of months

of clean air when I was learning it.

That's hard, too, these days.

But while there's still some

clean air left, it would be groovy to...

...experiment with it like those guys

who have been experimenting for...

...at least six thousand years

and getting very high behind it.

The Kundalini nerve, it's

called the nerve of awareness.

You can't dissect it. It's a current

that runs up the center of your spine.

I don't know if any of you

have ever sat down...

...and crossed your legs and smoked

DMT and watched what happens.

But what happens to me is this big thing...

...goes "uuurrrah" up my spine!

And flashes in my brain!

Well apparently, that's what is going

to happen if I do this stuff and learn it.

It takes years, I guess,

but this is the beginning of it.

These exercises are exercises to create...

...those channels in your body

and to free your body of blocks.

The major block is your solar plexus.

That's why we're doing

a lot of breath of fire.

It loosens the solar plexus.

And there are blocks in your spine and...

...back and wherever you've got blocks,

to keep that energy from flowing.

Go within yourself and

meditate on each breath.

Make each breath a complete breath.

And if you do it right,

you'll be flashing momentarily.

Just keep up, concentrate on your

breathing and hold that position.

Roll your toes forward

so they point forward.

We're going to leave you

with the usual thing.

Only thing I can say, as I said to so

many people, this title, just about...

...puts it all into focus. It's called

"With A Little Help From My Friends."

Remember it.

"What would you do if

I sang out of tune..."

"...would you stand up

and walk out on me?"

"Lend me your ears and

I'll sing you a song."

"I will try not to sing

out of tune, yes."

"Oh, I'll get by..."

"...with a little help from my friends."

"Well, I never come up alive."

"Hey, there are so many ways."

"Well, I'm going back

there for my friends."

"What do I do when my love is away?"

"Does it worry you to be alone?"

"Ho, no, no."

"How do I feel at the end of the day?"

"Are you sad because

you're on your own?"

"I'll tell, never say it any more."

"Going to get a little

help from my friends."

"I've got to buy favors for them."

"Don't bother about the love I gave."

"Help me find my way."

"Do you need anybody?"

"Oh, I need someone to love."

"Could it be anybody?"

"Oh, I need somebody..."

"...to dream about. I know her."

"Oh, I love her."

"Well, I'm going there,

I'm going there."

"Then I'm going to say

that I'll know my way."

"Don't you know I care for my friends?"

"Would you believe in

a love at first sight?"

"I'm sure that it happens all the time."

"You know it does."

"What do you see when

you turn out the light?"

"I don't see nothing."

"I told you I get a lift, I've got

to have a lift from my friends."

"Nobody cares the way I feel now."

"Oh, I sat there all alone."

"Do you need anybody?"

"Oh, Lord, I don't need anybody."

"Could it be that you're lonely?"

"Oh, Lord, I love her. I'll stand by."

"Going to dream about her, I know I am."

"Somebody said, 'Oh, I love her'."

"I've got to get my friends, I've

got to get my friends to go..."

"Don't you know I said,

there before your eyes...?"

"...l've got to get

my friends together."

"All I've got to do is that now."

"I'm going to take them

home with me now."

"You've got to get

all your friends now."

"...you've got to get

all your friends now."

"Nobody goes away..."

"...nobody goes away, yeah."

"You've got your friends,

you've got your friends..."

"...you've got your friends, yeah."

"With a little help from my friends."

"Got to have love from my friends."

The Grease Band and myself

thank you all very much, indeed.

See you again! Beautiful!

It looks like we're going to get a

little bit of rain, so you better cover up.

If it does and if we should have

any slight power problems...
