Summary: 5 Stars
This is the real thing. This is what the fuss was all about.
This is The Pink Floyd, prior to their first record contract, in a studio, in late 1966. This is the band that blew the Beatles and the Yardbirds away at London unground clubs like Roundhouse, before the media attention, before the Games For May, before their first hit single. This is the unedited footage originally released in shorter length on the 1968 Documentary Film "Tonite, Let's Make Love In London." Bootleg sound recordings of this circulated for several years in the mid 1980's before the film saw release on videotape in the late 1980's, the orginal unedited footage started quasi-legitimate release shortly thereafter. This material has been subsequently released in a myriad of different editions and formats since then.
It is amazing that we even have this; so much of Syd Barrett's original incarnation of The Pink Floyd was undocumented, unrecorded, that a handful of radio and TV appearances (that were often lip-synched) in 1967 and a few alternate or previously unreleased studio tracks (a few of which were legitimately released 2 years ago on the "Piper At The Gates 40th Anniversary Edition") are about all that survive to document the original Pink Floyd phenomena. (Find the rest of them through bit-torrent websites on fan-made and remastered compilations like "Have You Got It Yet" Vols. i & 2, and "What Syd Wants.")
If you are a post-Atom Heart Mother fan of the band, you might not fully appreciate the performances herein, they're not The Wall, or even Dark Side Of The Moon, they're a short snapshot of a blazing, groundbreaking group of artists who shook the ground and lifted their thunder to the heavens in London's nacient psychedelic community, making music and sounds that the world had never heard before. But if you are, and you haven't seen this footage yet, you owe it to yourself to lay down a few of your hard-earned shekels and step 42 years back in time and hear the real, original, Pink Floyd experience.
