The Tyrant King - London 1968 - Psychedelic Pop 

Really felt like i traveled though space & time back to 1968 The street scenes looked so cool back then. Love the short skirts and antique cars! What a great time it must have been to be in your late teens or twenty somethings back in the ultra cool vibe of London 1968!

Wow, this is a great film!!! Our parents took us to London in 1968. Though I was only 9 years old I remember the fun riding the "Tube," going to Trafalgar Square and still have the photographs my late Daddy took of me sitting atop the huge, beautiful lions at Trafalgar. A few years after my wife and I got married, we went to London (2002) and I revisited some of the places I had been in 1968. I will always love London. My older brother got his PhD in British history and is a history professor here in North Carolina, U.S.A. I have always loved the Beatles, Cream, The Stones, The Moody Blues, and many British psychedelic groups from the sixties. Thumps UP to The "Tyrant King." It is great!!!!!!

Finally,in colour. I have teenage memories of the 'bird', the fab gear, and the groooovy soundtrack. 20 September 1968 I was in London at Battersea Funfair. The Rotor - a giant centrifugal drum - pressed against its walls & the floor dropped. As it stopped you gradually slid down the wall -.and the girls opposite out of their dresses. Why are you so so cheerful-you'll be in the army next week' said our cab driver, handing us the Evening News - 'Russia invades Czechoslovakia'. The end of an era.

remember this well from 1968. it was so good to hear the music I was into in this context.

It's round about the time, me and my friends use to buy red rovers 1967 - 68 (different times) and travel all round the sights of London by bus all day on Saturday. We took picnics, washed down with lashings of lemonade.

I remember this and I had the book!

Bought the DVD! Great Stuff!

I was hooked on this program at the age of 14yrs, used to get the train on a Saturday Morning and walk around Carnaby Street thinking i was part of the "In Crowd". Always remember the theme tune title " The Thoughts of Emilist Javjack" by the Group the "NICE", later to rename themselves as "Emerson Lake & Palmer"

Hearing some of the sixties music in this was like a trip down memory lane for me!

Incredible! I saw this the first time round - what a memory rush. The Tyrant King as I remember it was the Tyranosuarus Rex at the Natural History Museum. Please post the full clip or series. Brilliant groovy times!

I got one ordered by a friend as his sister in law is from London - one of the best 1960ies documents :-)

Thanks for the reply! What a great song it is.

The thoughts of Emerlist Davjack - The Nice 1967

Post the whole series please.

Good one!

its one of my favourites, and I was glad they d used it here. its : the thoughts of emerlist davjak, the title track from the lp of the same name by the nice, who most people dont know as well as elp, but to me were a lot better.

If only the Olympics were this groovy!

very good, as I said, but I dont remember the 'complete series' being only 2.58 minutes long.

haha far out fab :-D

How did they get that shot from the London Eye over 30 years before it was built?😀

My ex, who I started seeing when I was 20 and she'd just turned 17, looked so much like Candace, they could have almost been twins.

Very Good,A Fabulous Time...Whats Name The Song,When These Kids Enter and Close The Door?Thanks-

Can anyone tell me what the "ba ba ba ba ba" song is that plays at the start? Thanks!

It sounds like I just heard Pink Floyd.

what is the music/drum beat at 0:12? Can't find it anywhere

Anyone know the band and track at 0:21 ? I know every other one, but can't place that excellent guitarwork.
