The 14 Hour Technicolor Dream
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 14 hour Technicolor Dream was a concert held at the Alexandra Palace, London, on April 29, 1967.
The fund-raising concert for the International Times, was organised by Barry Miles and John "Hoppy" Hopkins. It was part-documented by Peter Whitehead in a film called Tonite Let's All Make Love in London.
At the time it was described as a multi-artist event, as it featured a host of poets, artists and musicians. It has become one of the most infamous acid freak outs to ever take place in London. Pink Floyd headlined the event, but a huge collection of other artists were also present. They included: Yoko Ono and John Lennon, Arthur Brown, Soft Machine and The Pretty Things. Pink Floyd appeared right at the end of the show, just as the sun was beginning to rise at around five o'clock in the morning. The details of the set-list are rather sketchy, however one source suggests that they played - "Astronomy Domine", "Arnold Layne", "Interstellar Overdrive", "Nicks Boogie" and other material from their then unreleased debut album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn[1]
