A Technicolor Dream [DVD]

Well, I purchased this DVD in hopes that the Floyd performances would include previously unknown footage.Sadly, that turned out to not be the case.There are some lengthy interviews with Roger Waters and Nick Mason, as well as Joe Boyd and a couple of other guys, and those were interesting, and they also went on at some length about Syd Barrett.The Floyd performances, however, are easily available through unofficial channels in more complete form, and without the top and bottom of the picture chopped off to make fake 16:9 aspect ratio.This footage, however, has been cleaned up, so it is likely to be the highest quality version of it that you can get, but (for some unknown reason) the producers chose to edit out all of the Hans Keller (the jerk who asks "Why has it got to be so loud?") interview with Syd, Roger, Nick, and Rick.This could have gotten extra points from me, even though it contains footage found elsewhere, if they had not chopped off the aspect ratio, and if they had made the footage complete.Sorry, guys, but I rate this nothing more than a C-.Amazon, for their part, were exemplary, as always.I had to get a reshipment because the USPS lost the first shipment.Amazon rapidly sent out another, and I had it in my hands within four days of reporting the missing first shipment.

this film follows the 60s London underground movement specifically a show that was a benefit for the London School of Free Thought called the 14 hour Technicolor Dream witch had lots of bands but of course the headliner was the Sid Berreit era Pink Floyd.There is live footage of Astromony Domine & Scarecrow.

Great insight into the 1960's music and culture, and counter-culture, with an lengthy review of Pink Floyd including interviews I'd never seen before.

Cool ! Fun ! If you like the 60's, the Hippy Era, old Pink Floyd or 60's music you'll enjoy this.

Great video and interesting history. Seller was perfect in delivery and condition.

3 Pink Floyd full performances with Syd Barrett? NO... 3 videos, that's it. And the rest, a full bunch of jibby jabba about crazy people doing drugs and "underground" stuff. I bought this for my girlfriend who loves Pink Floyd, and it seems she was just as disappointed as me.

Great historical and musical snapshot of a GREAT YEAR,! England's answer to Human Be In. Video really captures the event with Pink Floyd.

An excellent documentary, maybe the best one about 60's psychedelia.

This is an interesting DVD if you're interested in the hippie scene in London in the 1960's. It covers the International Poetry Incarnation in the Royal Albert Hall in 1965, the 14 Hour Technicolor Dream at Alexandra Palace in 1967, and lots of early Syd Barrett era Pink Floyd. I think the film actually focuses a bit too much on Pink Floyd at times, and I'm saying that as huge Pink Floyd fan myself. In fact if you're only interested in Pink Floyd and not the rest of 1960's counter-culture, this film is still worth a watch as it has so much Floyd in it, including interviews with Roger Waters, Nick Mason and Peter Jenner which illuminate some perspective on the early Floyd that I hadn't heard before. The only thing that annoyed me was that some of the extended interviews end abruptly mid-sentence for some unknown reason.

excellent product..recommended seller..

Interesting snapshot of an era that's generally glossed over.

As described and quick delivery thanks

i own everything ever done by pink floyd, and I thought this is almost repeat of the London 65, but it is not. it has documentary about that event and much more insight into Pink Floyd.
