Daisy Jones & the Six (2023) S1E1

Pixel Play

Welcome to the official hub for Daisy Jones & The Six, the critically acclaimed musical-drama limited series that captures the nostalgic, wild, and heartbreaking world of the 1970s rock 'n' roll scene. Based on the New York Times best-selling novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid, this series tracks the meteoric rise and sudden, devastating collapse of a legendary fictional rock band. In 1977, Daisy Jones & The Six were on top of the world. Fronted by two fiercely charismatic, deeply clashing lead singers—the free-spirited Daisy Jones (Riley Keough) and the tortured, brilliant Billy Dunne (Sam Claflin)—the band catapulted from gritty club gigs to global stadium tours. Backed by an iconic crew including Karen Sirko (Suki Waterhouse), Graham Dunne (Will Harrison), Eddie Roundtree (Josh Whitehouse), and Warren Rojas (Sebastian Chacon), they recorded Aurora, one of the greatest albums of the decade. Then, right after a sold-out show at Chicago's Soldier Field, they suddenly called it quits. No explanations. No goodbye tour. Decades later, the band members finally agree to sit down in front of a documentary crew to reveal the truth. This is the story of how a legendary band made beautiful music together—and how their hidden passions, addictions, and secrets ultimately tore them apart from the inside out.

08:03Easy on those fills, yeah?

08:05This isn't jazz.

08:09Again, from the top.

08:10Hey, Billy.

08:12Why don't you show us how it's done?

08:18I mean, I knew my brother.

08:21By the second practice, he was basically in the band.

08:24And by the third, it was his.

08:28Fucking guy.

08:35I mean, what a time to be alive if you loved music.

08:41I saw cream at the pack center.

08:44And Zeppelin at the whiskey.

08:46Snuck backstage for the Who at the shrine.

08:49I was 15 years old.

08:52And the whole world just seemed so beautiful.

08:57And good.

09:13Where is everybody?

09:15Where is everybody?

09:43People say I was naive.

09:46I wasn't naive.

09:48I was a baby.

09:58And I hated that feeling.

10:01So pathetic.

10:03And weak.

10:06So helpless.

10:12I just didn't want to be that girl anymore.

10:43Evening.

10:50We're the dumb brothers.

10:52For now.

10:54Woo!

11:04We did 10 proms, 20 graduation parties.

11:09I mean, I don't even know how many sweet sixteenths.

11:37The band was just a distraction.

11:42An escape, you know?

11:44None of us ever thought of it as anything more than that.

11:47Not even Billy.

11:58And then one night, everything changed.

12:12Oh, darling.

12:14Yeah!

12:17Yeah!

12:19I'll let it in the moon!

12:22Yeah!

12:23Come on, kid.

12:26Hey!

12:27Good job, everybody.

12:30How are we doing?

12:32How are we doing?

12:35Hey, Billy.

12:38He's supposed to be in Georgia, Graham.

12:40Well, he's not, all right?

12:42I bet he never even fucking left.

12:44What's wrong with you guys?

12:45Hey, not now, Eddie.

12:46You sound great tonight, man.

12:48And you were fucking ripping in there.

12:50What's going on?

12:51See the guy in there in the plaid suit?

12:52Who, the creepster with the comb over and the girl half his age?

12:56Yeah, he's our dad.

12:59I mean, I was four when he left.

13:01So I never really had a father.

13:04But it was different for Billy.

13:07He worshipped the guy.

13:11I'm gonna say something.

13:13Billy, no.

13:14Hey, Billy!

13:16Hey, Billy!

13:26You know who I am?

13:29Should I?

13:30Yeah, you should.

13:35Well, then, of course, I do.

13:39I'd recognize that guitar anywhere.

13:43Anything else?

13:47Hey, it's not worth it, all right?

13:49Let's go home.

13:56Take it.

13:58Come on, take it.

14:01I said fucking take it!

14:03I got no use for it.

14:05I gave it to you.

14:08Something to remember me by.

25:05Stumbled on sublime until the signal's weak

25:12Stumbled on sublime until you can't speak

25:17So stumbled on sublime

25:22Please don't look at that.

25:24You know, these, these ain't that bad.

25:28God.

25:30No, no.

25:32She's all around your head

25:38Dancing at the edges of the night

25:40It doesn't go like that.

25:43Okay, how's it go?

25:48It's just...

25:50She's all around your head

25:52And she's dancing in the corners of your mind

25:58Stumbled on sublime until you can't speak

26:02Stumbled on sublime until the signal's weak

26:11Sing that, I guess.

26:13No.

26:13What, what'd you, you said something like, you said something out there with the...

26:16I don't remember, you're gonna have to write your own fucking song.

26:21And the worst part is that I let him take that song from me.

26:25I mean, that is how little I thought of myself at the time.

26:28Thank God I met Simone when I did.

26:33Daisy says you changed her life.

26:36Do you remember how you met?

26:40We were at some party in the hills, I think, and I had just finished performing at Kazari, so she

26:47must have seen me there.

26:48She knew everything about me.

26:51In fact, she knew everything about everything.

26:54So he gets this idea that he can swim from one neighbor's pool to the next, which sounds totally crazy,

26:58but in the context of the film, it makes...

26:59Sorry, what's your name again?

27:01Daisy.

27:02I'm a huge fan of yours.

27:05I don't know what you're doing, though, singing backup for Penny fucking Richardson.

27:09There you are.

27:11I was looking for you.

27:12Penny fucking Richardson.

27:14Excuse me?

27:15Daisy Jones, huge fan.

27:17All right, let's get out of here, I'm talking.

27:18I mean, we talked about this.

27:19No, you talked, and you know what, Simone?

27:21I'm fucking done.

27:22Oh, would you excuse me?

27:23Just one second.

27:24Sure.

27:36It's not what you think.

27:38All I think is that you're way too cool for that chick.

27:44We started talking, and we just never stopped.

27:49It's temporary.

27:50When the album comes out, I buy a place in the hills.

27:52You didn't tell me you were recording an album.

27:55So, no more singing backup, then?

27:58Sure as hell, hope not.

28:03You sing, Daisy?

28:05Uh, no, not really.

28:08I just took piano lessons as a kid.

28:10But I am in love with this record.

28:17I think I'm going back

28:21To the things I love

28:24What do you love about it

28:25I mean, she wrote all these songs for other people

28:28Up on the Roof, Pleasant Valley Sunday, One Fine Day

28:31And they're all great songs, but this is different, you know

28:33I mean, she

28:34She chose to sing these songs

28:36In her own voice

28:39Because they meant something to her

28:42It's just

28:44Personal, you know

28:47That's you, isn't it?

28:50I've seen you too, honey

28:54Ghazari's, whiskey

28:55All over the strip

28:58Most of them girls are just there for drugs, sex

29:01Stories to tell their friends

29:05But not you

29:07You're there for the music

29:10I've seen you

29:14The question is

29:16What are you doing in the crowd

29:17And not in that stage where you want to be?

29:19When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to you

29:24I will be an ordinary guy

29:34Spar out!

29:38Can you believe this?

29:41How to spot an angel in the snow

29:46I will show you something true

29:49If you really want me to

29:53Keep dreaming, peaches

29:56What I want

30:00My song is nice and clear

30:03But it makes it mean to me

30:07It's a moment to hear

30:10Hey, you guys are rocking up there

30:21Hey, you sounded great up there

30:22Oh, thanks, man

30:25I'm Graham

30:26Karen

30:30You know a good place to get a bite around here, Graham?

30:35You're not gonna stick around?

30:37Check us out?

30:39It's gonna be a good show

30:41Um, maybe next time

30:45Try Pepe's

30:47It's right around the corner

30:49Best burger in town

31:14Yeah, I don't know

31:16Yeah, I don't know

31:29Put Mick Jagger in a lineup, and a person who's never heard of the Rolling Stones

31:33could still point to Jagger and say,

31:35That one, he's the rock star.

31:39Billy Dunn had that in spades.

31:43Obviously, you've got to write your own material.

31:45Well, I mean, I do. Most of it's not good enough.

31:47Yet.

31:48What are you writing about?

31:49I have this one song called Nevermore by the Countable Nine.

31:54No. Oh.

31:57Are you Bob Dylan?

31:59Are you Buffy St. Marie?

32:02Enough with the political shit.

32:04It's a new decade.

32:06No one needs reminding that the world is a mess.

32:11People want to feel good again.

32:13They want to feel hope.

32:16You can write a love song, can't you?

32:19Rod had a lot of ideas.

32:22You need to cool it with the solos, brother.

32:25Nobody cares about your technical guitar skills.

32:28They want to sing.

32:29They want to dance.

32:31Rod told me to wear low-cut shirts.

32:35I told Rod to eat shit.

32:37And that was that.

32:39The last thing I'll say, and this is key.

32:43You need to get the fuck out of Pittsburgh.

32:45You want to be signed to a label?

32:47You want to work with Jimmy Miller?

32:49Tom Dowd.

32:50Teddy Price.

32:51You know Teddy Price?

32:52Yeah, man, I know everybody.

32:53And they're all in L.A. now.

32:56Not London.

32:57Not New York.

32:59California, my friend.

33:01That is the place you gotta be.

33:08I'm in.

33:10Yeah?

33:11Yeah, me too.

33:12Yes.

33:13Guess I better gas up the van.

33:16You think she's gonna make it?

33:18I think she's gonna make it.

33:21What are you guys talking about?

33:27You could come with us.

33:31And do what?

33:33Huh?

33:35Follow you around?

33:39I have a job, Billy.

33:40I'm going to school, you know?

33:41I can't just follow some boy across the country.

33:44Some boy?

33:45I mean, yeah.

33:46Some boy.

33:46I'm not some boy.

33:47I mean, what is this then?

33:49Come here.

33:51Come here.

33:52Come on.

33:57So that's it then?

33:58It's over?

34:01You still owe me that song, Billy Dunn.

34:06¿Qué?

34:21Camila?

34:24¿Se está mudando?

34:32No lo siento, amor.

34:40Maybe it's a blessing.

34:42I ask him to go with him.

34:45Where?

34:50California.

34:54California.

34:58You can't.

34:59No, I know.

35:00Your family is here.

35:02No.

35:03There's nothing more important than that.

35:05You never give the words to your family.

35:09You did.

35:15It's not enough just to meet the right person.

35:17You have to meet them at the right time as well.

35:23It's getting dark, guys.

35:25It's gonna move on.

35:29You got room for one more?

35:31Uh-oh.

35:31Oh, look who it is!

35:34Hey!

35:41You sure about this?

35:43Mm-hmm.

35:43You're coming?

35:44Mm-hmm.

35:45You sure about this?

36:14You're coming.

36:15All right.

36:15Come on.

36:15fucking song. And this was becoming a pattern. Well, see, I took a Benny to wake up this morning,

36:20so then if I just have the coffee, I'll be way too amped. Hence the champagne, and I call it

36:24an

36:24up and down. It's funny. I'm gonna use that in a script one day. What makes you think that I'm

36:37not gonna use that in a something one day? I meant that as a compliment. There's no need

36:46to be crossed. You could be like my muse or something. Daisy. Daisy.

37:09Where are you going? Hey, hey, what did I say? What did you say? You said I'm your fucking muse.

37:15Like what? I'm just inspiration for your next great idea. Yeah, what is wrong with that?

37:21I'm not interested in being anybody's muse, Gary, okay? Not yours, not anybody's. I didn't mean it

37:25like that. I'm not the muse, okay? I'm the somebody.

37:36Okay, okay. You're the somebody. Got it. You're the somebody.

37:45What the fuck? Did you just push me? Daisy. Daisy.

37:53You're fucking crazy.

37:58No matter how confident you pretend to be, how much you think you can give, if enough

38:05people tell you you're shit, you believe them.

38:19I just couldn't take it anymore.

38:27Would you mind if I...

38:32I had to find out if everyone else was right about me.

38:40Or if I was.

38:42I was.

39:07I would want to get this guy.

39:21Yeah, that's a great deal.

39:22Yeah, that's the nice out, I suppose.

39:37I've been burned on the altar of the rising sun.

39:45It's alarming to see how far I can run.

39:53But I wound up the same as I always.

39:57Crying in a heap in some hallway, crumbled and blue.

40:04I gotta try something new.

40:09That keyboardist really added something to the mix, didn't she?

40:12Who, Karen?

40:14Yeah. Yeah, Karen.

40:16Yeah. Yeah, she did.

40:19I could tell by the waves you couldn't see me.

40:26People may try and they'll try to.

40:30I'm gonna do till I die too and give in.

40:37And I don't need anyone's help.

40:42I can do this with nobody else.

40:47I can ruin this night by myself.

40:51Yeah.

40:54I can peel off your soldiers' morn.

40:59I can write down my miserable home.

41:05I can drink to my own bloody hell.

41:11I can ruin this night by myself.

41:56I feel the earth move under my feet.

42:01I feel the sky tumbling down.

42:03I feel my heart start trembling whenever you're around.

42:13Ooh, baby, when I see your face mellow as the month of May.

42:20Oh, darling, I can't stand it when you look at me that way.

42:29I feel the earth move under my feet.

42:33I feel the sky tumbling down.

42:36I feel my heart start trembling whenever you're around.

42:53guitar solo

43:20Oh, darling, when you're near me

43:25And you tenderly call my name

43:28I know that my emotions

43:33Are something I just can't tame

43:36I just got to help you, baby

43:44I feel the earth move under my feet

43:49I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
