Tonite let’s all make love in London
as if it were 2001 the years
of thrilling god
-- Allen Ginsberg, June 8 1965
A great reflection of London and the British scene in the 1960's, dated 1967, with authentic film footage of Pink Floyd with the brilliant Syd Barrett heading them. It features cameos by Lee Marvin parading about, as well as Eric Burdon, another legend. It is an experimental film, a time-capsule with rare raw footage.
Peter Whithead directed this as a dedication to Syd Barrett and to capture the mood of swinging London. It includes the greatest version of 'Interstellar Overdrive' ever recorded. And a song called 'Nick's Boggie' which is a very hard to find Pink Floyd track. See this film for no other reason than to hear the music and enjoy the scenery.
