Yep, it was around 1966 that the Vietnam war was starting to crank up. Although it was a relatively mild event if compared to what’s going on in Eastern Europe at the moment, maybe not so from the perspective of the Vietnamese of course. The reality is nothing changes much except the music.
@@mitseraffej5812 Actually, it cranked up in 1965. Hundreds of thousands of American Military personnel all ready in country and The Battle of Ia Drang Valley on November 17th. The single largest land battle of the whole war. Not a 'minor event"...
@@AmericasChoice I understand that US deaths in the Vietnam war was around 60,000. This was over a 10 years where as the Russians have reportedly lost close to half a million in 2 years and who knows how many Ukrainians have died. And we mustn’t forget the 3 million Vietnamese that died. Regardless of colour, creed or the numbers the suffering and heartbreak for each and ever individual is as valid as the next. Joseph Stalin famous quote “ One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic” is so very emblematic of the ruling elite.
One caveat to the time machine idea. A person would also have to be made to look reasonably young by the machine or they could never participate in the events of those times, unless of course the time traveler is young to begin with.
I loved that period in my life in London. The music and films were great, there was artistic use of colours everywhere. There was a feeling in the air (as sung by Thunderclap Newman - Something In The Air).

This would be late 1960s judging by the fashions and the hippie paintings and colours. I am so happy to have lived through this fascinating era. It was beautiful. No drugs. I shopped at a groovy shop called Goopie. The shop smelt like incense and cheesecloth. And the colours were like a rainbow. There was another called the East India Trading Company. It sold sandals, bedding, everything to decorate ones house. It was very cool. I live in Australia.
Noticed the newspaper headline Cowdreys Caribbean Comeback. It must refer to the 1967 Port of Spain Fourth Test. Colin Cowdrey scored 148 and 71 in that match.
I noticed this change at the time it was starting which was sometime between 2001 to 2006. By 2008, everyone was wearing black to work everyday. I can't stand it.
@@jenlarge9036Yes, in Australia too which is where I noticed the change. People still wore colours in the late 1990s. You stood out then if you wore black too often..now it's how everyone dresses all the time and it started somewhere between 2001 and 2006
Awesome video, I thought I saw Yoko there. Also, the woman with the Bob Dylan clothing @1:50 is probably Michael Caine's wife. She was a model and Caine saw her on TV and wanted to meet her, he was in love. They are still married.
No, I don’t believe that beautiful young lady is Shakira Caine. Shakira is Guyanese and has a little bit lighter skin complexion and her eyebrows were thin and arched more.
Having been a teenager in the 1960s this marvellous film shows how people seemed to get on with life, even though this is set in Carnaby Street. Many city's were neatly laid out, and Councils actually kept the streets clean. One clear sign of the 60s was the smart appearance of people. No sign of track suits or trainer's. You seldom saw anyone wearing black as it so evident today. Even pop groups and Top of the Pops were colourful to watch. the great film, Summer Holiday from 1963 was a bright colourful story, that even though popular still today, would never be made in the dismal backdrop of so many TV and Cinema films.
Thanks for sharing! It was a colorful and optimistic time for many, even in the US where the counterculture had its beginnings due to the Vietnam War. I'm sure it was not so colorful for those who were drafted to fight. That was an entirely different perspective sadly. The brilliance and charm of Carnaby Street could also be found on the streets of San Francsico and other places on this side of the pond. The times we live in today are the exact opposite of what is shown in this video. We have more in common with those living in the squalor and hard times of the 1930s, without hope, without a future, in dread of the future, a world of shadow without color, unless the color is the redness of blood.
I was born in 66. I knew when I was little that it was a great time period. Then in the early 70s, I could feel that something changed and not for the better.
Cool video! I love the Kinks music, and this one is one of their best. I do love songs from summers gone by, like this one. Summer is my favorite season! Thanks for this upload 😄
Anyone who hasn't seen the film The boat that rocked is missing out on a hilarious account of the true story of the pirate radio ships of the time and their demise,great sound track including this song, find it and watch it again and again and again 😊
This brought back lots of memories, especially the paper dress. My mom had one that was lime green with navy flowers or paisleys all over. I'm wondering if it was some mail in from a paper towel company or something. I can't remember seeing her wearing it though. Caught a little glimpse of Yoko too ☮
"My girlfriend's run off with my car, and gone back to her ma and pa, telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty" - some of the greatest song lines of all time.
Don't be jealous. Other generations always look glamorous in one respect or another because they are each so different. But that is merely change at work and work it does constantly. Every generation has its own challenges and its own opportunities. Every generation has to make the most of whatever the conditions are, the social mores and culture. And bad things have always happened, and always will happen ... as long as the world is run by humans. And some of us are going to be just plain unlucky; nothing is a given and there are no guarantees. Life has risks. Like they say, "this is not a perfect world." I would bet if such people were still alive today, that not many would regret having lived through two of the darkest decades of the 20th Century: the 1930s and 1940s. Why is because they managed to find meaning, inspiration, and happiness even in the darkest of times. That is possible when you are young, but it becomes more difficult as we age. But for everyone, regardless of age, are the benefits of advancements in technology as it continues to progress. Technology is only discriminating about age if the wrong people legislate it to be such. We have to be sure such people do not have that kind of control or we will all lose.
All those kids dancing are now either old gran parents or deceased, in '66 I was thirteen, in the evenings, would sit in the kitchen and just listen to the radio playing the pop's.
I was 16 in that year & although I didn’t live in London it was very hip (groovy & far out) scene in NYC. Very similar to London. Those were the days (and nights!!) Love the Kinks !!!

Astounding vintage B roll, Mike! Damn, Bob Dylan and the ginger *almost* ruined everything...but we dodged a bullet.

@Sergio_Hattifnatt "He was born in the summer of his 27th year, coming home to a place he'd never been before" John Denver's lyrics remind us its not unusual that sometimes we feel an affinity for a time and place which we haven't actually experienced. Check out the lyrics to "Where Or When" for another example... "Some things that happened for the first time seem to be happening again" You can ponder the metaphysics of it but really, no one knows why it is that the unknown can sometimes feel familiar.
From 1966 to about 1972. Were the best. The Monkeys, Hermans Hermits and the Beatles. British invasion. Fashion. Free love. To me when the Beatles broke up it ended that era.
I looked up the Bus Stop shop. Open from 1969 to 1979 expanding to multiples store and even internationally. Interesting story--Lee Bender. I learned something anyway.
Well that was a neat little time capsule. Seeing someone actually kind of wear the paper dresses I’ve read about was kind of neat. That beautiful girl in the cute red bikini would be nearing 80 now.
The documentary footage doesn't say, although these are mostly locals. It could be her or it could be someone who looks like her, a coincidence. This source footage was made before Lennon and Yoko met, I believe.
@@mikemunrowsretro8973 Lennon first met her in 1966 at (Barry Miles') Indica Gallery so she was certainly around in 66. But Lennon and Ono did not get together till around June 1968 (when he returned from India). So it could be her. Certainly looks like her!!
Also and not being a nit picky douche cause this vid was awesome, but i believe it was recorded around 1967/68 and not 1966. One reason is the bright colors on building cars, clothes etc. but also on a wall the was the title/chorus of The Beatles "All you Need is Love" painted on a wall. The song wasnt released until July /1967. 😊 its amazing how so much changed between 1965 to 1967. Just fn incredible
This has already been pointed out and discussed a number of times in comments. The three documentary films I used to create this video were all filmed throughout the year 1967.
Yeah I just went back further and saw a couple. My comment was really to express my amazement at how much changed in such a short time. I wasnt knocking your efforts
Also digging the sensible wash-n-wear clothes of the middle-aged folks on the sidewalks and the younger people just trying to get to their appointments.
Great song and it's also missed by most listeners that this is another one, along with the Beatles "Taxman", about the British max tax in the mid sixties of 95% after surcharge for the highest earners which resulted in quite a few of the the biggest selling rock stars moving out of the country.
@@jerrymeadows5059 It’s a bit more subtle than taxman but it’s still pretty obvious. The taxman taken all my dough- is the opening line. Davies refers to tax throughout the song and the guy in the song complaining about his vast wealth disappearing.
@@margaretmaskell9985 If you actually listen to the words, yeah you might get it or you'd more likely think "this guy got caught evading taxes," like Willy Nelson or Nicholas Cage, but I guarantee you that few Americans, at least, would know that he was complaining about the British confiscatory tax surcharge of the Sixties. It wouldn't compute. Meanwhile he's talking about living a life of luxury, which is what the song actually sounds like, in the same way to many who don't really know what they're hearing "Every Step You Take" sounds like devotion instead of stalking.
Remember when they were trying to make those disposable paper clothes happen? So glad that never caught on. In the mid-60s the manufacturers tried to make it acceptable for everything to be "disposable"!!
Interesting that Yoko Ono has a brief appearance in this video. Mike - do you know when they made this version of the video? Just wondering if this was before she met John Lennon.
Unfortunately the narrator only mentions London ... which covers a lot of territory. I saw Carnaby Street in one of the department store windows, so before we get to the beach I would guess a lot of the first part was in that district. The latter part may not have have been in London but in Manchester.
If ever there was a video that could transport you back in time this is it.
There’s millions. Open your eyes.
INA is the French television archives channel full of time capsules.
I was born in 1968 to a 15 yr old hippie mother. It didn't work out well!
I believe that was Yoko Ono in the sunglasses standing by the fountain. Days gone by - what a great era to be young!
I see I'm not the only one who thought it was her!! 👏👏👏
If she would have married Sonny she would have been Yoko Bono.

1966. Kinda wild knowing the young people dancing are at least 78 years old now if they're still alive.
No, some of them could be as young as 73. There are kids as young as 16 there and it was shot in summer 1967.
Yes ! I’m still here and there !🏡☀️
Those of us who were preschoolers or kindergartners then are in our 60s now. I'm 63.
I was 9 years old in 1966 but remember this very well on TV.
78 and still alive! Lost my husband of 58 years two years ago from diseases caused by Agent Orange ☹️ Loved all the sixties music 🎶🎶

I met Ray Davies and asked him how long it took to write this song. He replied "That one? About 20 minutes". For real.

Check out the lyrics to "Where Or When" for another example... "Some things that happened for the first time seem to be happening again" You can ponder the metaphysics of it but really, no one knows why it is that the unknown can sometimes feel familiar.
From 1966 to about 1972. Were the best. The Monkeys, Hermans Hermits and the Beatles. British invasion. Fashion. Free love. To me when the Beatles broke up it ended that era.
Im 64 nostalgie
Everything has gone horribly wrong since this video was made back in the 1960s!
You got that right.
I looked up the Bus Stop shop. Open from 1969 to 1979 expanding to multiples store and even internationally. Interesting story--Lee Bender. I learned something anyway.
I spent the most lovely summer in London in 1967. Get your time machines and head there now peeps! I highly recommend it.
Loved the Biba store.
Thanks.😎😎
No problem 👍 Thank you too!
Well that was a neat little time capsule. Seeing someone actually kind of wear the paper dresses I’ve read about was kind of neat. That beautiful girl in the cute red bikini would be nearing 80 now.
Who' is the Black Model with the Bob Dylan paper dress? Insanely beautiful.
Unfortunately, this being a Pathe documentary film short, no credits are given.
Could she be Donyale Luna?

@@potatohead6301 Googled her. Most probably is her as there is a similar dress of Andy Warhol she wore. An amazing woman. Taken too young.
Swinging London!
J avais 18 ans et je de barquais de ma province pour commencer la fac.quel emerveillement.quelle liberte.
Yoko Ono (0.50) ?
The documentary footage doesn't say, although these are mostly locals. It could be her or it could be someone who looks like her, a coincidence. This source footage was made before Lennon and Yoko met, I believe.
@@mikemunrowsretro8973 Lennon first met her in 1966 at (Barry Miles') Indica Gallery so she was certainly around in 66. But Lennon and Ono did not get together till around June 1968 (when he returned from India). So it could be her. Certainly looks like her!!
Yep, it was the it place, everybody wanted to be in London and that is Yoko
@slatskatya no it's not 🤦♂️
That's not yoko
Not a religious person, but if there is some higher power, Bless The British!!
Quelle élégance dans les rues Rien n'a voir avec maintenant😢
Transistor radio the original Walkman. Freedom from your Parents by taking your music with you.....
So british ! So sixties !
Thanks! Glad you liked it. Some nice docu footage, glad it was avaialble.
I still have a dressing gown by Biba in my wardrobe 🤩
The good old days ❤😊
Also and not being a nit picky douche cause this vid was awesome, but i believe it was recorded around 1967/68 and not 1966. One reason is the bright colors on building cars, clothes etc. but also on a wall the was the title/chorus of The Beatles "All you Need is Love" painted on a wall. The song wasnt released until July /1967. 😊 its amazing how so much changed between 1965 to 1967. Just fn incredible
This has already been pointed out and discussed a number of times in comments. The three documentary films I used to create this video were all filmed throughout the year 1967.
Yeah I just went back further and saw a couple. My comment was really to express my amazement at how much changed in such a short time. I wasnt knocking your efforts
Nice times
Yes it was!
Превосходно.🎉
Biba at high Street Kensington top class❤❤❤
Also digging the sensible wash-n-wear clothes of the middle-aged folks on the sidewalks and the younger people just trying to get to their appointments.
What country is this?
One other thing. It went from straight leg pants to Bell Bottoms. Penny loafer shoes to hush puppies. So much fun.
Look at how London once was ❤
Hyde Park London Sunday am ❤❤❤
Great song and it's also missed by most listeners that this is another one, along with the Beatles "Taxman", about the British max tax in the mid sixties of 95% after surcharge for the highest earners which resulted in quite a few of the the biggest selling rock stars moving out of the country.
No it isn’t! It’s common knowledge what this and Taxman is about.
@@margaretmaskell9985 Taxman yes; this song no. Most people think this song is about lazing on a sunny afternoon.
@@jerrymeadows5059 It’s a bit more subtle than taxman but it’s still pretty obvious. The taxman taken all my dough- is the opening line. Davies refers to tax throughout the song and the guy in the song complaining about his vast wealth disappearing.
@@margaretmaskell9985 If you actually listen to the words, yeah you might get it or you'd more likely think "this guy got caught evading taxes," like Willy Nelson or Nicholas Cage, but I guarantee you that few Americans, at least, would know that he was complaining about the British confiscatory tax surcharge of the Sixties. It wouldn't compute. Meanwhile he's talking about living a life of luxury, which is what the song actually sounds like, in the same way to many who don't really know what they're hearing "Every Step You Take" sounds like devotion instead of stalking.
I was at a nautical college in London in this year.
Still cool
Whatta time
0:51 - That has to be Yoko Ono. Her London years were 1966-1971. That's how she met John--he came to one her art shows.
So cool to be born as Londoner at that time…
Remember when they were trying to make those disposable paper clothes happen? So glad that never caught on. In the mid-60s the manufacturers tried to make it acceptable for everything to be "disposable"!!
Ah, yes. The paper dress. I recall that trend, they even made under wear that could just be thrown out. I think they had to be dry cleaned.
Interesting that Yoko Ono has a brief appearance in this video. Mike - do you know when they made this version of the video? Just wondering if this was before she met John Lennon.
The three films used were all dated 1967.
@@mikemunrowsretro8973 Thank you.
@@peperminttea Your welcome!
I like the footage where is it from
Unfortunately the narrator only mentions London ... which covers a lot of territory. I saw Carnaby Street in one of the department store windows, so before we get to the beach I would guess a lot of the first part was in that district. The latter part may not have have been in London but in Manchester.
@@mikemunrowsretro8973 last years of 60s or 70s, Sure
It's from a time when the UK was British.
Beside the Serpentine, London I think.
"The tax man's taken all I got" - lucky boy! Nowadays he takes an arm and a leg too! 🤔🤔🤔
Love this song
People ask me, how is London different back then? Watch this and you’ll see.
A bygone era that will never be back
