Here And Now, Planet Gong, Gong, Steve Hillage, Hawkwind , Robert Calvert, ICU (Inner City Unit, and all the other bands NIk Turner was invloved with), Crass etc...what more do you need than the back catalogue of all these brilliant artists and their various solo projects..... The soundtrack to the counterculture that still keeps going and continues to make the world a better place. ('Bring what you'll think you will need...and share it') PS: RIP Nik Turner , ride high Thunder Rider 💚💙🌌🌎🌛🌞🌜🌱🎶🎺🎷🎤
Of all the hippy bands that jumped on the punk rock bandwagon, Gong were the best at it. You got the feeling that they were genuine, and not doing it for the cash, or to stay relevant, or current. You can tell that their attitude was sincere, and their music came from the heart. Gong weren't phonies, and Daevid Allen was at home in any sub-genre or subculture he aligned himself with.
My youth here perfectly illustrated lol..I recognise a good few characters in these photos..sadly a few from Liverpool & Wales are no longer with us.. I remember seeing Here & Now playing at the Bier Keller in Liverpool for the campaign we had to get Stonehenge 85 back on track..I was 18 & vividly remember dancing I my DM boots stripey flights & a big head of dreads ..tell off the table & rolled over backwards showing my knickers & got a round of apllause👍😂..I still had my spliff in my mouth !lol..! ..My first proper fezzie was Stonehenge 83 or was it 84 I have no idea what kind acid I took a black microdot & then a ' mystery tab' it was incredible 😋..I remember feeling like I'd entered a vortex then a state of pure bliss..happy dazze indeed.✌ 🌈 xx
fantastic photos, thanks for putting them up. the collision between punks, hippies and the free festival scene was a very interesting time that is ignored in the official history of punk which 'officially' ends in 1979 or something even though there were loads of punks up north well into the mid 80s. scottish and northern working class punks at stonehenge scoring off hippies in ice cream vans was some sight. it really needs the definitive account from mid 70s squatting -- anarcho punk -- free festivals -- alternative sub-cultures and beyond. shame we can hardly remember it all.
Glad you like photos - afew of mine at the beginning and then from 4mins - 8.5mins are some (all colour) I took 'backin the day' when we all lived and travelled on buses trucks. The black white photos of vehicles are in a squatted bus 🚌 garage round the corner from where The Mob lived down Brougham Rd (Hackney Bus Garage) that was early 80's
i was talking to someone about the squatting/free festival/anarcho punk/ alternative subculture and how there really needs to be some form of documentation as there is this huge gap - 1979 - 85 - unacknowledged in the official punk history. it could be a collective effort with people from bands, squats, peace convoy, crass etc contributing text and photographs. copyright free i hope! maybe need to put a shout out. mark mob seems to represent that whole culture shift.
I remember it vividly man ,best time of life like they lied that school would be . Formative years. Later generation has been robbed of the squat culture
@@stingereasybuck6919 yes it taught us to think freely, be nice to each other and read between the lines too! wonder what the laws on squatting are now, used to be able to get booklets on how to do it legally! so long as didn't force entry then it seemed to be fine... so many buildings lay empty wasted now, for decades in some cases. sure there were plenty of squats where property was respected - unlike some legally rented places!
@@Cozmicloon23 Deeply Vale was fun, l remember Hillside Village walking around in a yellow jumpsuit at one of the deeplys ( think l went to three of them)
Changed my life..Stonehenge…dragged everyone I knew to see em. Reading bus garage.Memorable gig in a shitty pub in Guildford touring the Theatre album…they’re still at it ..as, thankfully, am I.
Myself and Liam were in the Brixton Squatters Army ..... we fought the SPG but the SPG won !!! Had many FreakOuts with the Here&Now Band Bless them all xxx
Saw them at Sussex uni, they came for tea and stayed 3 days, the bus outside... Gilli Smyth , Twink, a whole bunch... Loved seeing them at Glastonbury festival in 70sand 80s Very much a presence in the Gong Loonyverse... This song was indelibly grooved in my brain... Mad Hatter's, Here an Now, Gong and all the wonderful hippy wave of wake up times....
Hehe I.sort of had something similsr..Keith ended up in my flat in the squat I was in in Toxteth Liverpool after a gig & he & someone underwritten that band Carcass lol ended up kipping in my living floor with my spare duvet.. Know Keith pissed all over my bathroom floor &'it was the times when we had hippie rag rugs in our bathrooms.I threw out a carpet stinking of cider piss at 4am and lecithin on the floor next to a hot knife bottle 😂
@@adamkingprawn emphasis on the blotters - i mean blotted! seen em a few times but don't ask me where, surbiton assembly rooms and a few others, maybe that little venue at glastonbury... once on the pier in southsea but it was a much later and more subdued performance...
Love the photos man great days I was a punk then my friend was on the convoy Jenny Newton. She's dead now but I hope were she is she's listening to here and now awsome band.
This is amazing. Ive never seen it before, even though I took loads of the photos. Such epic times, epic music, epic memories.. its like my life just flashed before my eyes. Thankyou for putting this together :) Awesome
GR8 post thanx wwwwhat u c is what ur- last saw them live standing on the trillathons of stonehenge late 80's/early 90's before the men in the LLLLooominous jackets took over then trashed everybody's homes in the beanfield, fenced it off and commercialised it!

Huge thanks for the upload, never heard this and H&N are a band very close to my heart - discovered them at my first festi (henge 84) - this is an awesome live set and yeh man - Here and Now were and are more subversive than the Pistols, not even close !
You mention Stonehenge 1984, rob mate. Me and my bf and another close mate were getting stoned round my place late at night and our mate was going on about Stonehenge 84 starting the next day and how much he wanted to go and me and my bf were saying "oh..... you ain't gonna go". He got up there and then late at night and went to Stonehenge ....and had a fucking great time.
I saw them that year in a pub in the London Rd, High Wycombe. Went to the farm they were squatting to score some shit. One of the best gigs of my life that was.
God this has taken me back. I saw them at The Fforde Grene in Harehills, Leeds maybe 3 times. Always 'pay what you could afford' buckets on the door. They were a superb live act, and this recording captures it perfectly.
Omg I think I am in most of those photo’s especially bus garage Dalston, I am mechanic so always popular 😂 where is Roy ? I replaced his axle on bus garage n France, last seen driving to Spain
I saw Here and Now on a "Umsonst und Draussen"-Festival near Lindau/Bodensee. It was 1978 or 1979. While watching the slide show i have a flash back to this concert.
Road name rings a bell but could just be from 65 bus route and wandering around - did you know katie, marcus, timmy, dozy, karl and endless other names... still in touch with one or two, happy daze in elm road, new malden!
Amazing photos. There was another great squat in Hammersmith on Glenthorne Rd. Was lucky enough to see Gav Da Blitz and the boys three times, Stonehenge, some place in Coventry and Camden Lock. Wonderful times. Amazing energy.
did you used to go to the clarendon, hammersmith - happy days on a friday then party saturday in new malden and day of rest on a sunday, get ready for workies on monday...
8:11 I had a Supervega 300 in exactly those colours. It wasnt standard livery, but blue/orange for the MG racing car team it had been converted to carry by the previous owner.
Holy crap ,best recording of Here and Now ive heard ,what a gem .Ta so much for posting .Photos are making me choke up , not that i was in those scenes exactly,we had our own city block in Bournemouth the Cotland Village and BHAM Bournenouth Housing Action Movement .Amazing times heavily inspired by HnN .Our own distinct cultural antidote to thatcherism and consumerism .Bless the fuck out of you for posting these images, damn these tracks are smoking . Ha ! What a memory ! Being busted(released) by the Army for stopping off to do hotknives at the Stones on the way back from a Here and Now gig .Classic . We'll always have it .Kids today need it
Oh yeah, what a good memory you have #Janet! The old fire-station on the old Kent rd, was a good'n too. After the days of "Freedonia", during the abolition of the G.L.C, Kenny Livingstone was trying to get public buildings into the hands of the community. We played a gig there with Here and Now, Daevid Allen, and Roy Harper to raise funds. Happy dayzzz. Rainbow Warriors all.
Remember that biker pear wine called Nighttrain..there was another one I know Thunderbird..omg Thunderbird & hotknives in my squat sums up 18 yr old me circa 1984-85 lol
next time your gonna put down some lyrics, next time your gonna do it at 1080 p. next time .. great recording so many photos seemed familiar, i'm sure i was near most of those scenes, what a blast from the past, i rec mummy mummy, i want a chocolate biscuit... you can't have one.. lol
no i was just saying that cos its the first thing i thought when free typing to the song, i didn't even check.lmao it didn't seem to matter i was enjoying it, it didn't imply i was moaning it was a silly way of saying do you know the lyrics i'd love them, but ok it was more interesting to say that than simply ask Also just at minute my eyesight is cloudy a bid cataract slowly building up, so it wont matter what dpi i show but cheers anyway, im using colloidal silver to clear it up and wow its working well, early days, it's not cheap but a wonder medicine , old antibiotic and burns and cuts healed etc.. i digress, yes i. loved the thing i recall it well, my era, my circle, im gone 50 now still kicking strong, poor living happy, a soul still in love with it all as i was then, chipped at the corners a bit but still all my bits are there, i was thinking abot alternative tv, is there any of them and who were they, i didn't find their bit , didn't look too hard yet, i will, peace and joy with sprinkles and a fag. on. i'm addicted to coffee , i'm addicted to tea, and i think cigarettes are addicted to me, got a light there lucifer? lol thats another fav..
Love H & N and ATV. Hope you get your sight sorted... When you do. Get a big fuck off TV screen and blast this out! I'm a couple of years older than you, and remember a bit of the convoy mid '80's Brougham Road Hackney etc etc.
the battle of the bean field, and such, i used to hit stonehenge just after my uni term ended summer, instead of going back home to mummy and daddy i used to do the rounds, then go home eat up, clean up, annoy dad with motorbike oil all over his nice drive, hey once bought home half the cardiff bikers on route, my dad freaked, my mum helped em sewing their embroidered waistcoats, even my kaftan, (yak that smelled-literally yak, still half alive) i tell you, good days eh. still are if your heads in the right space.
@Mr Oneiroman No i saw them with my Mum at Stonehenge. I must have been 6 years old! I only ever had a crappy tape of them and ATV and hence the Gong and Hillage interest. Its possible i saw them at Glastonbury in the 80's and 90's but i have little recollection of the details. Must have been something i ate.
@Mr Oneiroman If only the hindsight. But you were true to the cause. I eventually saw Steve Hillage and Gong play together at a festival near Canterbury(Lounge on the Farm). I was worried after exhaustively listening to the album Fish Rising that 'poor' Steve might not have those licks down anymore. But he blew me away. And all the times i saw him after(Glastonbury mainly). I last saw him at Shepherds Bush a couple of years ago with the new formation of Gong. Very good polished performance. But, Here and Now have that grit of those times and i would have loved to experience more. My favourite Gong Album is actually the live Planet Gong with Here and Now. How i imagine that gig!
@Mr Oneiroman I've not listened to Continental Circus! Will do that. I have listened to most of Daevid Allens releases. His guitar work was amazing really. I've wondered if he got the idea from Syd Barrett though. No matter. And I love that the Here and Now were asked by him not to smoke dope whilst on tour!
Is the Tat for Tibet bus at 14.03 a bit more recent than the other photos? I've stopped in on those guys at small festivals, and I've only been going to them since 99/2000 or so. Or have they been doing it for that long?
erm, some of it was actually so you might wanna note this... ruclips.net/video/0EOHEqjzGR8/видео.html I used to have this LP would love to find it again!
Seen some not in colour tho of these photos in Festivalized book ,good book I've read 2 times,trying to read these comments but 1st song is distracting me lol
I came for the music so I guess it's all subjective. Probably best to visit the transport museum in future and avoid YT if you want to avoid this "rubbish"

Also just at minute my eyesight is cloudy a bid cataract slowly building up, so it wont matter what dpi i show but cheers anyway, im using colloidal silver to clear it up and wow its working well, early days, it's not cheap but a wonder medicine , old antibiotic and burns and cuts healed etc.. i digress, yes i. loved the thing i recall it well, my era, my circle, im gone 50 now still kicking strong, poor living happy, a soul still in love with it all as i was then, chipped at the corners a bit but still all my bits are there, i was thinking abot alternative tv, is there any of them and who were they, i didn't find their bit , didn't look too hard yet, i will, peace and joy with sprinkles and a fag. on. i'm addicted to coffee , i'm addicted to tea, and i think cigarettes are addicted to me, got a light there lucifer? lol thats another fav..
Love H & N and ATV. Hope you get your sight sorted... When you do. Get a big fuck off TV screen and blast this out! I'm a couple of years older than you, and remember a bit of the convoy mid '80's Brougham Road Hackney etc etc.
the battle of the bean field, and such, i used to hit stonehenge just after my uni term ended summer, instead of going back home to mummy and daddy i used to do the rounds, then go home eat up, clean up, annoy dad with motorbike oil all over his nice drive, hey once bought home half the cardiff bikers on route, my dad freaked, my mum helped em sewing their embroidered waistcoats, even my kaftan, (yak that smelled-literally yak, still half alive) i tell you, good days eh. still are if your heads in the right space.
Gavin Da Blitz died today according to Keith The Bass on the Here And Now FB page...
Does anybody remember squidly ,from canterbury kent, who used to roadie, for them ,or dave kileen from sturry near Canterbury kent
No sorry but I'm from Canterbury! And i saw these at a young age, and have been lucky enough to see Gong 4 times and Hilfish 3 times!
@Mr Oneiroman No i saw them with my Mum at Stonehenge. I must have been 6 years old!
I only ever had a crappy tape of them and ATV and hence the Gong and Hillage interest. Its possible i saw them at Glastonbury in the 80's and 90's but i have little recollection of the details. Must have been something i ate.
@Mr Oneiroman If only the hindsight. But you were true to the cause. I eventually saw Steve Hillage and Gong play together at a festival near Canterbury(Lounge on the Farm). I was worried after exhaustively listening to the album Fish Rising that 'poor' Steve might not have those licks down anymore. But he blew me away. And all the times i saw him after(Glastonbury mainly). I last saw him at Shepherds Bush a couple of years ago with the new formation of Gong. Very good polished performance. But, Here and Now have that grit of those times and i would have loved to experience more. My favourite Gong Album is actually the live Planet Gong with Here and Now. How i imagine that gig!
@Mr Oneiroman I've not listened to Continental Circus! Will do that. I have listened to most of Daevid Allens releases.
His guitar work was amazing really. I've wondered if he got the idea from Syd Barrett though. No matter.
And I love that the Here and Now were asked by him not to smoke dope whilst on tour!
Ta much & much x
Battle of the bean field
Fastest version of What You See ...
And the best too.
I'm sure Here and Now played at the Deeply Vale frestival one year........
Is the Tat for Tibet bus at 14.03 a bit more recent than the other photos? I've stopped in on those guys at small festivals, and I've only been going to them since 99/2000 or so. Or have they been doing it for that long?
Yes ''tis the Tat for Tibet bus and also in afew other shots too 😍
T4T started in 1993 Had the bus since 1982
Doesn’t seem like this was ever released

Druggie music
The only good aspect of this video are the pictures of the vehicles. The music is sheer rubbish
I came for the music so I guess it's all subjective. Probably best to visit the transport museum in future and avoid YT if you want to avoid this "rubbish"
