This film presents Pink Floyd filmed at their recording session on the lith and 12th of January 1967, at Sound Techniques, London. They are seen recording what has become regarded as the definitive version of "Interstellar Overdrive" and the previously unknown "Nick's Boogie" for Peter Whitehead's films on Swinging London. Two further recordings made at the session "Arnold Layne" and "Candy And A Currant Bun" (not included here) secured the band a recording contract with EMI's Harvest label and worldwide fame. They are also seen playing at the legendary underground club - UFO, birthplace of psychedelic imagery and a new style of music improvisation.
The film also shows the "14 Hour Technicolour Dream Extravaganza" at Alexandra Palace in April. On the same bill that night as Pink Floyd was Yoko Ono, John Lennon was filmed by Peter at this happening and clearly did not know then (or did he?) that he and Yoko were destined to meet. We know that the man seen with Lennon is John Dunbar, at whose gallery they did meet, (at one of Yoko's happenings) so this video is undoubtedly of great significance in more ways than one!
