A lovely LD transfer (Japanese subtitles, though).

thanks Dr. , this complete the "circle".

For future reference, a copy paste of the aammaazzoonn editor :lol:

Peter Whitehead's film--originally titled Tonite Let's All Make Love in London (after a line from an Allen Ginsberg poem)--was created as a dreamy, avant-garde portrait of the "Swinging London" scene, set to the music of Pink Floyd (in this case the improvisational epics "Interstellar Overdrive" and "Nick's Boogie"), accompanied by performance footage from the legendary UFO Club in 1966, a recording session at London's Sound Techniques studio on January 11, 1967 (which Whitehead specifically arranged to capture his soundtrack), and footage from the momentous "14 Hour Technicolor Dream" festival held at Alexandra Palace on April 29th, 1967. White combined elements of all three events to create his audiovisual collage--a kind of time-capsule mindscape that successfully conveys the spacey atmosphere of Pink Floyd's early (and instant) popularity.

I just wanted to take this opportunity to say a big thank you for all of the different concerts and DVDs you've posted. I know it's been a heck of a lot of work for you to do, but it has been really appreciated. Thanks again!
