The Story Of The 60s UK Underground

On 13 October 2008 Eagle Rock Entertainment are proud to announce the release of a fantastic collectors’ DVD “A Technicolor Dream” [EREDV710] featuring amazing footage of Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd and some incredible concert footage from a watershed piece of musical history; an incredible London show boasting a host of luminaries including Lennon.

“A Technicolor Dream” is the story of the Underground movement in the UK during the sixties and leads up to its culmination at The 14 Hour Technicolor Dream, an all night “musical happening” that was held at Alexandra Palace on the 29th April 1967. The story takes in CND marches in the early sixties, the foundation of the London Free School and from that the International Times, the UFO Club and the Notting Hill Carnival. There are brand new interviews with Roger Waters and Nick Mason from Pink Floyd, John “Hoppy” Hopkins, Joe Boyd, Kevin Ayers, Barry Miles, Arthur Brown, Phil May from The Pretty Things and many more. All of this is set in a musical context with the music of Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd.

The Bonus Features included with “A Technicolor Dream” include three full Pink Floyd performances with Syd Barrett on guitar and vocals from 1967 and additional interviews with Roger Waters, Nick Mason and others not included in the broadcast version. Dream on…

I'm already there. I hope I'm not disappointed.

Of course it should have Scream Thy Last Scream, Vegetable Man and Reaction in G on it - all re-mastered and sounding perfect - now wouldn't that be nice.

Pink Floyd (with Syd Barrett


Why does it say it like that instead of Syd Barrett and The Pink Floyd. PF were Syd's backing group after all.
