Pink Floyd Apples and Oranges on American Bandstand 1967 (Colorised)

  • Mission accomplished, or just hastily abandoned.
    I present to you my final version of Apples and Oranges at the American Bandstand show. Recorded at the ABC Studios, Burbank, California on November 7th 1967. The band performs a halfhearted version of Apples and Oranges, presumeably in pre-taped rehearsal with a somewhat absent Syd Barrett fronting the show.
    Before reading the rambling:
    Support the arts. Drop a tip to the unpaid, absolutely crazy, artist on the border.
    www.paypal.me/...
    It won't mean all that much to you. But it means a lot to me.
    You have by now seen the black and white HD restoration I created and released a couple of months back and believe it or not, the two versions was in production, more or less simultaniously.
    This version however proved to be much dodgier than the plain black and white.
    First and foremost, AI coloration is still in its infancy. There are several tools available, purchased as well as free. But the outcome isn't always predictable.
    I sided, after testing a few, with HOTPOT.AI which at the time was free and showed great results. The overall color vibrancy was absolutely astounding. Problem though was the lack of automation, and as time progressed, limitations implemented to the tool itself.
    Each frame of the 3350 required frames (music performance) had to be uploaded individually, downloaded again and individually named. You can guess the rest.
    (The reason the intro and outro are missing are....colours aren't right on parts of the outro. And that damn copy of "Piper" Dick is holding is not being interpreted correctly and hours
    of tracking a color photo of the same cover onto the footage doesn't work).
    But besides that the outcome it pretty descent wouldn't you say?
    The techy stuff:
    Frame adjustment from stretched 16:9 to proper 4:3 image ratio.
    Frame size upscaled to 1440x1080 (1080p)
    Frame processed with added black and white definitions.
    Frame sharpened using Topaz Sharpen AI software
    Frame colorized using Hotpot.ai
    Frame(s) interpolated back into 60 fps video sequence using FlowFrames.
    ...and that excludes hand sorting the duplicate frames out of original video sequence.
    I started the project in February 2021. It ended on the 30th of december 2021.
    I'm not doing this again, like this.
    More important stuff about a snippet of music at the end.

      That explains. I've been trying different tools and clips in this processc and I commonly find that most black/white video fails to render color properly. This clip however, recorded on the cusp of ABC starting color broadcasting, just worked. As far as I can gather it may be due to this being monochrome color footage. As if the various RGB color keys are still present in the footage. Sad, that we won't get to see the original. Glad I could help giving an approximation of what it would have been like!

Even their music has a hint of Barrett in it. Dave Vanian from The Damned was a HUGE fan of Syd as well. You can see his influence in their music and style as well. Both band's were highly influential in what later became known as "Goth". Though it all can be traced back to Syd Barrett.

    Syd Barrett was a enigma for many years when I was younger because I had no computer or internet until I was about thirty and any written information on Syd was rare and not widely distributed.
    When I learned the whole story there was no sense of completion it only render a unfortunate sense of disheartened closure for such a true and genuine genius to have to experience.
    Syd was to far out there to stay grounded and he was able to transform the essence of music to produce what I could only described as a sonic state of mind with his songs which resonated within the cores of peoples beings with harmonies of whimsy and awe.

    ARTICLE IN THE "LOS ANGELES FREE PRESS ~ NOVEMBER 5,1967 ~
    "Pink Floyd, another mind bending group from England, made its only local appearance last weekend at Santa Monica's Cheetah [Club].
    Even the seaweed was swinging at the end of their first set.
    The unbelievable sound of Pink Floyd was first heard through a hurricane of colour, bringing total sensual involvement of audience and performers, each absorbed in the creation of aural/visual experience.
    The creation belonged to Pink Floyd, but there was ample room for all of us to share their visions, their feelings.
    At the end, the audience might have been another creation of the facile collective mind of Pink Floyd.
    To quote their press release,
    "There can be no barriers, there can be no predictions."

      I would like for Peter Jackson to approach Pat Boone and see if they can dig up the interview and performance of Syd and the Floyd on Pat Boone in Hollywood. Also there was an additional lost appearance at a Los Angeles TV station from that time (November 1967).
      Saturday, November 11, 1967: 6:00 PM, KHJ-TV Channel 9, Los Angeles - Boss City, Sam RIddle, the Stone Poneys, Bobby Hebb, Pink Floyd.
      Thursday, November 16, 1967: 6:00 PM, KHJ-TV Channel 9, Los Angeles -- Groovy, Michael Blodgett and the Clingers with Pink Floyd.
      (This American Bandstand episode was aired November 18, 1967, videotaped the week prior.)

    Quote by ALICE COOPER ~
    "I remember one morning I walked into the kitchen and Syd was sitting with a box of cornflakes in front of him, laughing, and he goes, 'This is really cool watch them!'
    I'd no idea what he was talking about, there was nothing to see but he was so high that he thought that the cornflakes were putting on a little show for him, singing and dancing, and he was having the best time watching them. I left the room and I could hear him laughing to himself for ages.
    I kinda had the feeling that he may be on the way to losing his mind."

    The colouring is excellent (realistic, not artifical) and better than other colouring jobs I saw recently.
    The AI algorithms to "improve" the video definition and recreate details are still not fully satisfactory. They work well on close-ups and on motionless objects, but on larger shots, people faces are too deformed and look weird. I guess technology will improve in the future.
    That being said, the close-ups on Syd's face are really great! Thank you for your work!

    The color version makes it even spookier with Syd staring into the camera. It's like a void looking into those eyes. Being from 1967 it must have been originally filmed in color. I guess there's a story about what happened to the original tape.

    • @timstamps5281

      You’re correct, it was originally taped in color. Not sure why they tossed the color videotape and only kept a b&w version. The episode from the week before with Van Morrison retains the color. Incidentally, Van Morrison was not happy about lip-synching either, or about the song he had to perform to, and looks similarly pissed (that one is also on youtube).
