he Human Be-In was announced on the cover of the fifth issue of the San Francisco Oracle as "A Gathering of the Tribes for a Human Be-In". The occasion was a new California law banning the use of the psychedelic drug LSD that had come into effect on October 6, 1966.[2] The speakers at the rally were all invited by Bowen, the main organizer. They included Timothy Leary in his first San Francisco appearance, who set the tone that afternoon with his famous phrase "Turn on, tune in, drop out" and Richard Alpert (soon to be known as "Ram Dass"), and poets like Allen Ginsberg, who chanted mantras, Gary Snyder and Michael McClure. Other counterculture gurus included comedian Dick Gregory, Lenore Kandel, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, and Jerry Rubin. The Hells Angels, at the peak of their "outlaw" reputation, corralled lost children. Music was provided by a host of local rock bands including Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Quicksilver Messenger Service, who had been staples of the Fillmore and the Avalon Ballroom since February 1966.[5]:186-191 "Underground chemist" Owsley Stanley provided massive amounts of his "White Lightning" LSD, specially produced for the event, as well as 75 twenty-pound turkeys, for free distribution by the Diggers.

The poster above is a phony. I think Santana was still a garage band in early 67. Steve Milller did not play
The poster comment above is correct. According to Owsley the inspiration for the name of the lsd came from the poster that had doves and lightning bolts on it. Hence White Lighning!
Gary Snyder,86 is one of the key note speakers today at the Wild and Scenic Film Festival in his home town of Nevada City. He is still very active around here. He is a huge supporter of the Yuba River . The sun is out, the river is full and the town is packed with Film goers.
A multimedia event put on by the Unity Foundation and the 17th Digital Be-In. Highlights will be the 50th Anniversary All-Star Band, made up by veterans of the San Francisco scene, performing a “Jam for Peace.” 7 p.m.-2 a.m. Jan. 14-15, the Gray Area Grand Theater on Mission Street, S.F.
I am a long time fan of both Gary Snyder and Tom Killion, whose friendship is written about in the article for which Bart posted the link. This is a print of Shasta from the Marble Mountains by Tom Killion:
