London '66-'67
"The Pink Floyd," as they were known in 1967, were photographed by filmmaker/author Peter Whitehead as part of his movie Tonight, Let's All Make Love in London. In the course of shooting, Whitehead also recorded two tracks by the group, an early version of "Interstellar Overdrive" -- very different from the track they finally cut for EMI several months later -- and "Nick's Boogie." Both of these songs were issued on CD by England's See for Miles Records, and See for Miles has assembled a pair of videos running 31 minutes using Whitehead's footage. The band, looking almost like adolescents, are seen working in the studio in shot that are mostly post-synced to the recordings, intercut with a lot of material photographed in and around the UFO Club in London, mostly people dancing, light shows from the club's stage, and various pop-art visuals from around London. There are some nice close-ups of Syd Barrett strumming away, Richard Wright's hands noodling around the organ, Nick Mason's drums in use, and Roger Waters' bass fret board in close-up, in gorgeous color. The "Nick's Boogie" video includes black-and-white footage of a pop-art show called the "14 Hour Technicolor Dream" (Barrett's last performance with the group), with people dancing, strange performance art pieces being "presented," and even a brief appearance by Yoko Ono and John Lennon attending a performance of Ono's "Happening."
30 minute video featuring footage of the Floyd at the UFO Club, the Technicolour Dream Extravaganza, and in the studio. Promo for the "Tonite Let's All Make Love in London" film.
