  • Pictures from London (King's Road, Carnaby...) at the end of the 60's.
    The frivolity of youth. What a happy carefree period ...
    Imagine that the young people on this video are now 70 years old or older... So enjoy life!
    Al Stewart explained us in Paradiso (Amsterdam) the story of this song: When he was opening shows for the Rolling Stones tour, Brian Jones had a girlfriend called Gina.
    And everybody backstage was in love with Gina except one man : Brian Jones !
    I'm not the ownner of the rights.
    Images of young friends in the streets come from Mackenzie Rough's channel.

    Used to catch both the 19 and 49 buses at times when I lived South of the River in the late sixties and early seventies. Both went along King's Road....

    I absolutely love what I call "Al's London songs" . They are so evocative of 60's and 70's London and it takes me back to when I was young. He should release a compilation album of them.

      What a lovely period. But I was born to late (and in the wrong country !).

    Such a good song, been listening to this since the album "A Beach Full of Shells" was released in 2005. A lifelong Al fan!

      Thanks.
      It's just a mix of this song and pictures from the swinging london.
      I still can't imagine all the young people there being over 70 now...
