Kaleidoscope (UK) - Unseen TV Perfomance

[elcoprino]

3:18 Serge Gainsbourg :)

[BohemianConspiracy]

 those who appreciate early Pink Floyd cannot hate Kaleidoscope

[71brett]

Always found it strange that they chose one of the least obviously commercial tracks from the album as a single. Great stuff though! Amazing to think stuff like this has suddenly been discovered.

[hoffnerburns]

It is France Gall!

[ledatape]

Is the blonde girl France Gall????!!!!

[BohemianConspiracy]

@ledatape Tout a fait ! je confirme ...

[wangdangdoddle]

Brilliant!!!!!!!



[ScenesFromPalacio]

Wonderful songs..So creative n fun..Magical footage too-Thanx so much for sharing..Great to hear the story behind it too Peter :)

[19mole76]

Incredible footage...really phenomenal!

[WisdomRiver]

This band was ahead of it's time...

[akattack]

Wow wow wow!!!!!!

[pythongoon]

Fantastic clip.

[RFSAS]

Help me to make my hair in his style! I need piece of advice from the professionals, lol'd

[wpDM34]

Unbelivible, a know an original LP in a shop i Stockholm, saw it 23 sept.

[gorgolbutt]

Amazing band, amazing shit.

[smokeemonkee]

Two great songs done under the best possible 60's conditions (except that it's lip-synched) AND France Gall? Sometimes youtube can really be rewarding.

[sandelsization]

this is the greatest thing ever! never seen them move before!!!!!

[jacoblurch]

What a wonderful find. Thanks for sharing this footage

[aeropueroto]

It is so sad that they look like Austin Powers, because this song is so awesome. But it is so cute how the singer is so shy. And the answer: "It just ends".

[elcoprino]

@aeropueroto It's so sad Austin Powers tried to look like them !

[topofthepopsguy]

This track is "Flight From Ashiya" for those wondering what track is being performed here

[funkberto]

For me, one of the best band in the fantastic psychedelic-swingin era.

The gorgeous Blonde here is FRANCE GALL (great female french singer) and the ugly man on the piano is the great SERGE GAINSBOURG.

[lombroso69]

Thanks a lot for share. Great band.

[salvadory]

kaleidoscope+ serge gainsbourg- what a find ! god bless you and youtube!

[generix83]

Damn the little brunette in the background!!!

[pierrelivernois]

@generix83 she was in a couple ERIC ROHMER movies.

[67psych]

Iv'e been waiting all my life to see footage of the band( Well since i was 16 in 1992) but WOW!! I use to wear clothes similar to the guys in the mid 1990's which i bought from charity shops,needless to say i got a fair amount of abuse in the streets from Neds/Chavs LOL But who cares,i dig late 60's music/fashions & it was fun! wish i could have met some girls like the ones in the vid though.

[SuperNevile]

Thanks so much for this ~ FANTASTIC. Trust Johnny F. to keep the tapes. Remember seeing Fairfield Parlour playing 'Bordeaux Rose' and/or 'Just Another Day' on TV, on Top Of Pops. The tapes must have been scrubbed ~ Blast the BBC!! Got to love the french for having attractive young girls posing around the set for no reason whatsoever. At least the band weren't flecked with black paint by Salvador Dali like Nirvana (UK) were.

[seesselberg]

Wow !! Amazing stuff ! thank you thank you !!

[PAULLONDEN]

Thanks Pete (the vocalist in this clip) for your personal acount of this "happening". Nice.Although highly into psychedelics,at the time ,I was a latecomer to this band, via Mojo's "Acid Drops,Spacedust & Flying Saucers".

[Isengard2626]

Thank you SO much for posting this video!

[songsamsung]

Huge thanks for the post. Can't believe I'm really seeing this.

[nudeone34]

[wouldntyoulike2know]

Brought to this gem via 'Shindig' magazine. :) Very gratuitous post.

[KidCarlyle]

Please, sir, may we have some more?

[stoneeyedkiller]

Tangerine Dream is one of my favorite albums from 1967.

[ubeumbe]

this is a really unexpected find and i really enjoyed watching it, thanx for sharing it!

[wheez123]

This is fabulous! Love that Serge seems to

enjoy them along with mon petit France Gall.. If only the France Gall "Teenie Weenie Boppie"segment hadn't been cut out !!

[eeayt]

what an underrated band, some of the best psychedelic pop i have heard recently.

[spidf33]

Absolutely the rarest un-thought-able find on youtube!!!

Thanks for uploading this gem!

[funkberto]

hall9calation

You must be ADDED TAGS: SERGE GAINSBOURG, FRANCE GALL. Also is a rare tv appearence for they.

[funkberto]

What a cute girl is FRANCES GALL.

Kaleidoscope's ''Tangerine Dream'' is a wonderful album with daydream psych-folk songs. Is a UNDERRATED CLASSIC OF BRITISH PSYCHEDELIA

[7upIsLove]

whoever is operating that bass playing puppet isn't doing a very good job.

[linkbekka]

@7upIsLove Listen to the record and you might understand the bass part...

[inshreds45]

Far out. Kaleidoscope, Serge Gainsbourg and France Gall.

[tonyobrien68]

Great clip !!!

[barbayiorgi]

And- hey, that's France Gall and Serge Gainsbourg digging it all... yikes, is there more of this show? holy crap, 1967 to the max!

TRULY FASCINATING STUFF... Lenny - the Thanes (Scotland)

[OkaleidoscopeeyesO]

the greatest discovery of the 21st century... of the greatest band of the 20th century.

[jayrox40]

The blonde girl is legendary French singer France Gall.

[glenyseverest]

Great to see someone I have met only recently, reincarnated 40 years younger!! I bet it feels wierd to watch yourself again after all this time?

[mauvetys]

..i wish i could hear the song of the girl :))

[astralhed]

what girl ? ;)

[cinnamonk]

Yowzer! - I never thought in my life I would see dear France throwing some moves to "Holday Maker" - (o)_(o) - wow!

[psychster]

There is a God after all.....say no more - except 'there he is'

[Lucija1729]

Wow, this is great, I've never seen them playing like this, thank you for sharing ;)))

[Pejoski2]

Is it just me or is the performance really blurry and makes loud noises and stops then after around a minute?

It's such a gem, i wish i could see it properly

[Lothars]

@Pejoski2 It's just you.

[CellophaneRechording]

Wow, what a wonderful surprise!! Thanks for sharing! Anyone know the date? I'd guess late 1967.

[moonheaver]

@CellophaneRechording

Peter Daltrey has now confirmed it is definately Paris 1967.  What a great find, fantastic - made my year let alone my day....

[hall9calation]

@CellophaneRechording

date of aired - 16.10.67

[MrWitchtrials]

@hall9calation Many,many thanks for sharing this nugget.'Flight from Ashiya',the gem from a great album. 'Rainbows...' & 'Snapdragon',the picks from 2nd album. For all today's tech,the production doesn't come close to these Psych masterpieces.The guitar at 1min 19s,magnificent sound.We are forever indebted.

[spoonjarjarspoon]

Astonishingly excellent!.... Hats off!

God this is unbelievable, I never thought I would ever see the band in action. THANK YOU!!!!!! Check out recently unearthed BBC versions of 'Faintly Blowing' and 'Lewis Tollani' from '67 on the 'Look At the Sun' LP and CD, Top Sounds label.

[PsychedelicGuy]

Are you kidding me?!?!? Wow what a find! This seriously made my day!!!!!

[retrospecta2010]

Wow, incredible find! Thanks so much for sharing.

Is there any chance for seeing the rest of the show? And does anyone know the identity of the short-haired brunette with France Gall?

[realdinho]

Absolutely AMAZING!

I've been looking for Kaleidoscope ever since i discovered youtube !

i'm speechless...

[sixtiessyl]

Wheeee, K footage! Holy grail is such an understatement! And what groovy clothes they have too (not to mention that wonderful guitar at the beginning)! Thanks so much for this gem :)

[Alquit4]

Amazing find! Never thought I'd see this band. I also see Serge Gainsbourg in the clip. What show was this from?

[hall9calation]

@Alquit4

french TV show "Le Petit Dimanshe Ilustry"

[fatley]

@hall9calation genius!

[realdinho]

PETER DALTREY

One of our first outings under the new banner was to Paris to appear on a live TV show. Those frogs. We entered the studio to find ourselves in the midst of unorganised chaos. They complained about our frilly white shirts; too white for colour transmission. Suddenly we were dragged on set and we realised the show was on air. A group of guests sat on a sofa smirking at a tasty young girl; someone threw their arm in our direction and we grinned...

[realdinho]

(PETER DALTREY continues)

... Then everyone began wandering around; we were off air. In fact we had to wait for hours for the real show. Ed fell over a cello and then we mimed expertly to the single and then we were in the street, in a taxi, in a plane and off home before you could say, `J`taime.`

WAS THIS IN COLOUR THEN???

(Like those early Soft Machine clips on French TV)

[wangdangdoddle]

@realdinho Those chicks are WAY BEYOND tasty!!

[huiboki]

@Alquit4 Damn.... Amazing! I see even Serge Gainsbourg sitting at his piano. And the blonde girl is France Gall I presume. MADD!

[gawagney]

A fantastic find. Wonderful stuff. Thanks.
