DVD 1
1. Welcome to the 14th Hour Technicolour Dream!
Nice clip assembled by youtube member "Sound of 1967" featuring Pink Floyd and footage from 14HTD
2. Pink Floyd - Arnold Layne (Promo)
Barely related to theme of this DVD, but on the same day (29/04/1967) PF filmed promo at the early morning and then fly to Holland to appear on "Fanclub" TV show. After that band fly to London to appear on festival as headliners.
3. Man Alive - What's A Happening? Transmission: 17/05/1967
BBC send their road-crew to filmed 30 Minute special about this happening (or festival, as you like it to call). The result is a wonderful documentary featured is excellent footage of the crowd, happenings, underground poets and some musical content. Tomorrow (feat. Steve Howe) appeared on the film with "Three Jolly Little Dwarfs" and The Flies (who, according to various sources, chanted in the UFO club, that Pink Floyd is sell out (after release of their first singles)) provided storming version of "Purple Haze"
4. John Lennon at the festival - Peter Whitehead's Raw Footage
Taken from Getty Images site, unedited footage showing John. Some of this is not appeared on "London 66-67" DVD
5. John's Children - 8MM film
Taken from Mark Bolan documentary. BBC recovered this footage several years ago. Wonder if this more?
6. Late Night Line Up (17/05/1967) - Excerpts
On the same day (with transmission of "Man Alive") BBC also broadcasted this show with talking about recent 14HTD. Sadly, full show is not available yet in circulation, so i included only brief snippet with discussion. Jimi Hendrix Experience appeared in the studio with "Manic Depression"
7. Look Of The Week (21/05/1967)
Week before Pink Floyd appeared on this show. On the next Mick Jagger appeared in the studio with Professor John Cohen. Mick Jagger Interviewed about Swiss Berlin Manchester Concerts and general concerts feeling with the ocassionaly tobacco. On 20th minute of the show started footage of 14HTD filmed by Tony Palmer with "Paint It Black" as audio, but listen carefully and you notice "Candy and The Current Bun" (!) played at the same time!
Certainly, big upgrade over all previous versions with correct resolution.

DVD 2
1. "Love In" Festival footage (29/07/1967)

http://www.ukrockfestivals.com/Inter...l-Love-In.html

Infamous event in which Syd (according to Rick Wright) "lost it". After terrible gig, band took break for almost whole August 67.
Filmed by French TV crew and broadcasted in November 67. Again, no PF footage, just crowd and strange version of "White Rabbit" by Eric Burdon & New Animals
2. Various footage from documentaries.
There's snippets of various 14HTD footage and whole underground movement in London. Some of it in better quality than rest of the discs. I added documentary about Roundhouse events in 60's as well.

I don't think anyone trying to assemble all available footage from this important event before. "The 14 Hour Technicolor Dream was a concert held in the huge Great Hall of the Alexandra Palace, London, on 29 April 1967.
The fund-raising concert for the International Times was organised by Barry Miles and John "Hoppy" Hopkins and David Howson. At the time, The 14 Hour Technicolor Dream was described as a multi-artist event, featuring poets, artists and musicians. Pink Floyd headlined the event; other artists included:
Yoko Ono and John Lennon, Arthur Brown, Soft Machine, Tomorrow and The Pretty Things." (Wikipedia)
Sadly, as we all know, Floyd concert was not filmed (or not circulated yet). But BBC shot significant amount of footage, mostly of the public. For those, who enjoyed early Pink Floyd and read in all of the books about underground scene in London must have this DVD.
Thanks for the various people who contributed to this project.
