  • 0:21 its thom yorke!

  • Without Syd, The Pink Floyd would of never existed. BUT, without Dave they would never have been as great as they are. PF!, PF2 and dare I say PF3 all have their place. They are still collectively the greatest musicians-songwriters (collectively) of all time, PERIOD.............

  • I never heard sounds like that.

  • i am the chosen one, everlasting living through every life in this universe and i declare this music to be.... Awesome!

    Also if someone with a couple clone or bot accounts would vote this comment up that would be sweet.

  • @GuitarsGalore557 how can you place pink floyd under one genre

  • @dukester686 Cut him some slack.....he's 12.

  • @GuitarsGalore557 Good luck buddy. If you're 12, most of your friends are just going to want to play green day and RHCP covers.

  • I want to see syd go nute thats the only reason i found this vid

  • *looks at the audience just hanging about*

    Well it really wasn't dancing music, now was it?

    PINK FLOYD 4EVER!!!

  • I barely saw the actual band playing. All I saw was what looks like 4 minutes of '28 days later' converted to B&W.

  • I love the early days of Floyd, but honestly i think Roger Waters is a better songwriter than Syd Barrett, and David Gilmour certainly helped their sound

  • @TheBeatlefloyd i wouldn't say a better song writer i would say different... waters writing really doesn't kick in until meddle as they were still looking for a sound from saucerful of secrets to Atom Heart Mother... Syd is more of a fantasy writer telling made up stories while waters is more political on life and stress and barrett is the influence for many songs in there golden years... also gilmour is the man

  • @TheBeatlefloyd Well that says you are not a true early fan. To bad for you that don't have it.

  • @TheBeatlefloyd And thanks to all the LSD, Syd never really had a chance to grow. Really sad to think what could have been.

  • @Shockeye00 He took too much man, he took too much, too much. Didn't try and fight it. He got brain bubbles, strokes, aneurisms. He just withered up and died.

  • omg look at her eyes at 0:51 ive never seen that expression on someones face before

  • Anybody know German? What is the guy saying?

  • 2:26 fish out of water, much? :D

  • at 0:51 the eyes of the woman dancing !!!! Bet somebody got a shock when the lights came on

  • @wolfen682 Yea she looks like she is from Mars.

  • Der spricht ja Deutsch! :D

  • FUCKIN HIPPIES

  • @FleshHungryFiend easy man

  • Another crock of shit. The soundtrack to this video could be anyone. I'm at 2:00 and so far I only saw a brief clip of the band wailing out on their instruments during a very soft part of the soundtrack. I have yet to see, on you tube, any true Pink Floyd LIVE at the UFO clips where the sound even remotely matches what the band is shown playing.

  • You can see John Hopkins at :22. Him and Joe Boyd were responsible for opening up the club and running it. He was at the center of London's counter culture starting the Free School, the International Times, and the UFO club. His apartment was raided in 1967 and he was subsequently jailed for 8 months. Joe Boyd had a hard time running the club himself, and closed it down following a brief stint at their second location, the Roundhouse..

  • Was that Keith Moon at :15?

  • Syd Barrett was just little when compared with Roger Waters.

  • @MrDerake WTF?

  • smoke weed

  • @GuitarsGalore557 Good Luck to you! something must be done and soon!

  • @GuitarsGalore557 im 16 and something like that is what im trying to achieve too, hey maybe we should meet up and start a revolution?

  • Fukn lov the guy at 2:26 thats how I would be if I was there

  • i love pink floyd... end of story

    and the druggies dancing ;D

  • 0:51 creepy eyes!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Rock groups could improvise musically in the clubs like that because the audiences where so high in the 60's they didn't mind what they played

  • @villiparis I saw them there in April 67...I wasn't high ....thought the music was mediocre,the crowd pretentious,the macrobiotic food awful,and overall the night was boring,but I was young,so enjoyed walking 5 miles home at 6 o'clock in a london spring morning.

  • @jarvsie lol your a strange one.

  • @villiparis that was just my recollections of that night,perhaps it's just me,but I've never really liked live music compared to studio. I wasn't being sarcastic,by the way,about the joy of walking home through early morning London streets.....coffee and a danish in a soho cafe on the way..past what was then proper sleaze,not todays poor imitation.....for an impressionable 18 year old..wonderful.

  • @jarvsie Dont you like the physical feeling live music gives you and listening to Pink Floyd for the first time and sharing the exsperiance with other hippies in 1967 the greatest year in popular music? and all you can think about is the joy of walking some sleazy London streets in the early morning and coffee lol

  • Gotta love ppl tripping balls and dancing to music.

  • 2 words

    tripping balls

  • everybody must have been high on LSD, I'm pretty sure on that

  • March is a great month to gig.

  • hmm kinda like a rave in spirit.. ;)

  • The Pink Floyd IS my number one. Dirk2222 is bang on, i've dreamed several times to take a time machine and be there. Chemically and otherwise....

    25 from New Zealand

  • Comment removed

  • That audience seems like somebody who wants some masturbation and asks somebody to lend a hand, that's what Floyd music at UFO club old times was like, a gently eager hand.

  • something completely new was about to born

  • Life is what you make it. If you don't like today's music scene, then redress it.

  • muito doido... muito psicodelico.

  • @sharingfeelings

    the man said that the people dispite theire confusion they´re looking for

    a companyonship- something less aggressive and more friendliness. In all this confusion there is born something new, that I believe!

  • I would do anything to have seen this show. I hope there is more UFO club stuff out there.

  • why am i always in the wrong place and the wrong time? i wish i was there... do you know so difficult it is to be a musician like i am and try to connect with the people like this? there is no emotions anymore, anywhere ... just the emptiness of the mainstream.

    PS: my friend Syynae, i´m 38 and argentinian

  • @bachamos i know what you mean. Sour times for musicians. I mean nowadays there are way more good musicians than in the sixties but there is lack of ears... i assume more musicians than audience. Btw that music (if you want to call it) was honestly terrible but kinda new to get some attention from ingenue young people and the real connection with audience was the drug for the trips, that were collective.Today young people wouldn't pay a fuck that, no music needed for the lone trip.

  • Groovy motions, bay-bee.

  • are these people on drugs?

  • @edwardszzz no, they are from another dimension

  • Oh man, it would have been so awesome going to see them at the UFO club tripping or sober. I wish I could have been there. What freakishly loud, exploratory noise. Some of my favorite music! I wish there were more videos and clear live examples of the sonic territories they went off into in these early years (my favorite floyd). It's crazy to think how young they all were. Syd was 21, here!

  • I was born about 10 years too late, and on the wrong side of the pond. But that's OK! Because after all, those very people making this music said essentially the same thing, like "I wish I was born about ten years earlier, and I'd be playing the Blues in America".

  • que buena

  • what that German guy is pretty much saying in the middle is that there is a feeling of community and friendliness or friendship that is born out of this confusion, and that the people are looking for it.

  • funny people around

    they was all crazy before anything at that time, for repressiin mostly, look at their faces

  • dammmm

  • thats so swwwwwwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeetttt­tttttttttttttttttttttt

  • it's ok but don't fuck around with chemical drugs anymore

  • God, I wish I was there.... D:

  • @MalachiBordman As opposed to "wish you were here?" (yuk, yuk, yuk).

  • Even this was back in 67 I still do this dance in my bedroom after a bottle of Absinthe.Minus the vomit of course.Cheers

  • "an exciting experience for the fans of the early Pink Floyd who have already dreamed several times to take a time machine and be there". You're absolutely right, I´m one of those too.

    and I also agree with syynae

  • @Synae - ...I'm presently working on a Dr Who script in which the Tardis materialises in the UFO club in 1967 during an early Pink Floyd gig.....LOL!

  • the power of the acid!

  • the power of the acid!

  • Todo mundo doidão!

  • Look at the orbs on that broad , 0:55. If she was'nt ,most likely, "Smokin' that Ellis - Dee" like the other patrons , I'd swear she was Marty Feldman in drag. Thank you for putting this up. We all like to see the bands , but it's interesting to see what went on AROUND them , too...What do you think was in that Pepsi BOTTLE , HMMM?

  • Right On man!

  • LOL ! Love that guy who got "awaken" at 0:10 . LOL !

  • Comment removed

  • Holy Shit that looked like Mic Jagger at 1:16

  • Floyd recorded at Abbey Road studios around the same time the Beatles were recording Pepper's, but I'm not sure of the exact dates.

    Apple didn't exist until 1968, iirc, and it was a record label, and a boutique shop as well, at first. I don't believe they set up a recording studio under that name.

  • Yes and I believe the Beatles dropped by during the sessions

  • very nice. i'd have been happy to be a dance partner and groove friend with the young lady.

  • AH.THE MAGIC SIXTIES!

  • Dear Lord Jesus Fuckin Christ...this is freakin great!!!!!

    thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!! being able to see the crowd and their honst reactions to this incredible genre of music is simply astounding.

  • cool video

  • i Love the Sound of pink floyds early Days.

  • Those guys are tripping balls.

  • I really wish I could find someone in Chicago to produce this kind of light show for us.

    And if you guys are looking for good modern psych bands - check out Brian Jonestown Massacre, The Warlocks, Quarter After, Dead Meadow, Strangers Family Band, Asteroid # 4, Koolaid Electric Company and (ahem) The Red Plastic Buddha.

  • Wow! x

  • Wow, this is some serious serious acid rock, definitely not fucking around, a bit of that dark doper music everyone wishes was still around.

  • Haha the german guy is really stoned... great recordings!

  • Lets see who Syd influenced a the Beatles ..doors..led zeppelin..black sabbath..steppenwolf..jimi henderix,,the who...latter pink floyd..white stripes..on and onand onandon...amazing to say the least..

  • dude. beatles and the who were way before syd. they started like 5 or 6 years before. the beatles and the stones influenced pink floyd. hendrix was around the same time

  • The Beatles, maybe, but i remember the guys in floyd once say that they didn't listen to the stones

  • @purplefluffcake I'm not so sure . Piper @ the gates of Dawn came out shortly before SGT Peppers. Also Floyd recorded at Apple Studios ..There's videos on here saying as much.

  • Sgt. Pepper's was released in early June of 1967, Piper was released in August of 1967. The Floyd never recorded in "Apple Studios".

  • Syd was influenced by the beatles, but also he influenced mccartney (he said it)

    the beatles and pink floyd knew each other because they recorded in the same studio and if you have a good ear you can hear the same audio effects in piper and sgt pepper..

    sgt pepper was released in june and the piper in august

  • Yes, I wish I was born '42 in London !! Live music with light shows and avant garde films...... Syd, Soft Machine, Eric Burdon,...

  • This is pure genius , from the whole group , but Syd is certainly the one who made it happen , however every one played brilliantly along with Syd i.e Rick , Roger and Nick. Not sure what song this is but I doubt it is interstellar overdrive , but you can certainly hear interstellar overdrive in the background when the director is talking since you can hear the interstellar blip noise that can be heard with the feed back.

  • Amazing stuff. I was born in '67, so it's a trip to see what concerts my parents went to. Both were floyd and zeppelin heads, as I am. Only they got to hear them live. It's funny that this music is so good it's embraced by the following generations. I've heard teens say how much they love Floyd and Zep. There are no other modern counterparts today. There's a band out of the UK now called the Duke Spirit and they're pretty good. Most of the best music has come out of Europe I've noticed.

  • Anyone know where you can get good floyd boots?

  • Videos about Pink Floyd like this one make me realise that I wish I was born fourty years earlier in London. Nowadays, music sucks, gigs suck, and public sucks.

    PS : I'm 19 & french.

  • I'm 44 and American, I wasn't even two when this went down. It feels good to know that there are kids out there like you. My 13yo digs all this old music too. Thankfully.

  • Totally agree, and I'm a 15-year-old Yank. Though there is some pretty good modern indie music out there, if you look hard enough.

  • "Lavender diamond" thats good indie rock if you don't know of them

  • @peacelovenukes - For sure, but I meant that nowadays the average level of music is incredibly low if you compare it to what existed in the sixties & seventies !

    For me, it isn't a question of money because bands like PF were at the top of the charts back then.

    It's like our whole musical culture (among other..) is declining since then.

    That's how I see it, but it's my own view.

  • @Syynae I couldn't agree more. I am 15, and when I look at the people around me in my generation it makes me gag.

  • @Syynae Yea, music sucks today. I was around Seattle in the 80's, not quite as cool as London in the 60's but there was still some great music going on. I feel sorry for kids today...

    Who knows, maybe there's some town we've never heard of somewhere brewing the next musical revolution. I hope so!

  • @Syynae YOu should come live where I live. Our Live scene fucking rocks, music sounds like the sixties and people dress like it too.

  • @Lodashtaroth where is this utopia??!!!!

  • @Syynae enfin un francais qui pense comme moi

  • @Syynae I agree, nowadays everything sucks, especially peeople who grumble about how everything sucks nowadays.

    PS: I'm 194 and I'm a turtle.

  • @majkel228

    you made me lough really hard!!

    thank you :)

  • @majkel228

    polish are nazis

  • @larawora that's true

  • @Syynae I agree.... In your age I was thinking the same thing... Don't loose faith on today's music though... There is good music nowadays too, but you have to search for it.. It is not as strong as it was in the 60s or 70s, but there are a few artists that play great music.... Everything changes, whether we like it or not..... Peace :)

    PS: I'm 28 & Greek.......

  • @Syynae dude i agree with u totally and i am 37 and american

  • @Syynae

    Maybe you go to wrong gigs. Visit Prague someday, good music hasn't died yet!

  • @Gilnar13 what's the music scene like in Prague?

  • @TheBrownRabbit

    Well, I'm no expert by any means, but pretty good, I'd say. Some good prog, lots of rock from psychobilly to honest 60s rock and tons of good reggae and ska. Very nice clubs and lots of concerts there.

  • @Syynae go to jam bands the music wont suck if you find the right band and the gigs and public will def not suck

  • @Syynae i'm 34, an american, and completely agree with you

  • @Syynae music does not suck now...what about Gorillaz and Elbow?

  • I usually get my research drugs on head-rest .c om, does anybody know where else i can order stuff online? if you do please message me, thanks.

  • yeah, and i was Sir Winston Churchill

  • I was there! Up in the balcony with the oil and water projector guys........

  • great!

  • Strange how there seems to be a lot more 60's Floyd on Video than 70's Floyd on video ,Next to nothing from 1973 to 1977

  • Yes, but thank goodness the Syd days are not completely lost.

    It is rare and inspiring to see the makings of the modern rock / experimental / lightshows and music, through the original Pink Floyd.

    Yes, 70's Floyd is awesome as well but 60's Pink Floyd is a far greater treasure.

  • reminds me alot of the 'rave' scene in the 90's/early 00's. 'guess that shows how ahead of their time the Floyd really was.

    thanks for adding this Dirk!

  • ke filete

  • February 24, 1967.

  • Them drugs fuck ya' up good.

  • The really observant will see Junior (in granny specs) from Tomorrow completely trollied in the opening scenes. Lots of self concious appearances from Hoppy, with Mr Boyle managing the lights - definately UFO.

  • According to Joe Boyd this footage is the only film taken at the UFO club....

  • Comment removed

  • looks like fun, i wish i was there,lol , get it? "wish you were here" . nevermind, retarded joke.

  • WOW. :) Oddly enough, it sounds a little like "I Can See For Miles." You could have done the vocals right over this.

  • ¿donde quedo?..... ¿se perdio?, tal ves solo este escondido ,¿o no?, somos solo la simple resaca de la psicodelia, somos la mieda, de la mierda¡¡¡¡¡¡, pero es increible ser esta mierda¡¡¡ somos basura rara ¡¡¡ somos un legado de nada¡¡¡¡¡¡......... ¿o no?...

  • 0:52 damn scarry

  • uma bosta

  • They were all psychedelics! O.O

  • 0:15 really looks like Keith Moon to me.

  • DUDE i thought the exact same thing

  • Hmm, who knows, it could well have been. Pete Townshend went to watch Pink Floyd at UFO a few times too.

  • RAVE PARTY 60`s...SOUP LSD.

  • seu prego

  • Everyone is just so freakin stoned.lol

  • look at the 50 seconds... what is up with that chicks eyes? THAT is frickin weird man! Like WAY weird!!! check it out!

  • Her eyes looked like Marty Feldman's!!!She was definitly on something

  • yes, it looks weird when you paint eyes on your eyelids, just a psychedelic accessoire :o)

  • weird

  • You know syd barrett did set the controls to the heart of the sun before gilmour took over

  • find me the version of it abd i will belive you

  • theres a live version and a bbc version both with syd

  • HAHA wow that chick is crazy

  • Q. Hey man what did you think of Pink Floyd last night at the UFO Club?

    A. Last night? UF what? Pink who?

    LOL ..................STONED

  • everyone seems fucked on LSD

  • 52 seconds That Chicks Eyes Are Crazy

  • Sprockets!

  • Some pretty spaced Pussycats in this one! Can't imagine being straight in all that lot. Now THAT would be surreal!

  • 1:27

    : o

    ke chica tan mas bonita!

  • Clubs like this and LSD need to come back. Kids today dont know how small they are in the universe. LSD would show them that and Eureka ,flower power will return

  • Teenagers think alcohol is fun but because of cultural taboos against psychedelics have no clue what they're missing

  • Alcohol and cigarettes are sad drugs, but it looks like shrooms and acid are teh real fun.

    I...MUST....HAVE!

  • but then again I must be fair in saying that psychedelics can also be dangerous to mental health (not discounting the negative effects of legal substances). I speak with authority on this because think I might have a slight touch of HPPD (google it) because of acid use. Alcohol and pot can make it worse, so due to concerns over maintaining my mental health, I'm finished with all substances. But we undeniably owe artistic innovation to these psychedelics, as seen with bands like the Pink Floyd.

  • Yeah, I know the dangers, and to correct you, this may surprise you, but Pink Floyd never owed credit to drugs to their music. In fact, Rick Wright was on LSD playing live and said he couldn't even play a note right on his keyboard.

    I'll be careful, though. :D

  • Yes, acid does inhibit you physically, but it is scientifically shown to exacerbate activity in the "creative" area of the brain. I observe that there is an undeniable genre of visual art and music influenced by psychedelics. Do you mean that they flat-out denied any connection between lsd and their music, or is it just that they never mentioned its influence?

  • They never said anything, I think. Most of the members did take the drug, but I can't remember the rest of them saying that the drug had any connection to their music, except for Rick. Remember, when they played Psychedelic music, that was when Syd was on the band.

  • If you've seen Live at Pompeii, filmed in '71, you'll know that Dave makes a sarcastic comment that they're not a drug-oriented group anymore. Although Barett left in '68, the later albums that followed up until around Animals definitely still had a psychedelic slant to their style, even if they (perhaps) did lay off the acid use and didn't have the same sound as their first album.

  • how dare u say syd was a fat old man .fuck u bitch . shine on

  • Eccentrricity  your a prick
