The Pretty Things-Hyde Park Free Concert (28-07-68)

[@kevinobrien1259]

I was there that day in Hyde park, I remember Twink jumping off the top of those speakers, I couldn't believe he got away without breaking an ankle or two as it was a long way down and he was wearing high healed boots., the band were good too. Great days for music.

[@BrumAdam]

One of my favourite bands. This is brilliant - thank you!

[@CircunferenciaPunga]

RIP Phil

[@slowuncle]

The interminable concluding jam sounds more like "S.F. Sorrow Is Born" (from the album which the band were working on concurrent to this performance) than it sounds like Tomorrow's "White Bicycle".

[@CircunferenciaPunga]

They sang My White Bicycle, cause only weeks before Twink was drummin’ with Tomorrow

[@mariabonet]

a jewell!!! thanks!!

[@lawrencefeldman7744]

First thing that popped up. I didn't want to hear about Phil in a robot voice. Went to this. Sad and levitating at same time. Why they never got over in the states I'll never know. Fantastic!

[@Robert-tv9rq]

In the seventies they toured the USA several times, as well as in 1999, 2002, 2004, 2008 and 2009 as far as I can remember.

[@leskobrandon2684]

Wonder if Bowie was there?

[@slimtimslide]

Far out!

[@CircunferenciaPunga]

Absolutely!!!!

[@canesvenatici4259]

The cover of the Byrds' Why here is amazing! It's probably my favourite version of the song! Surpasses the original in my opinion.

[@CircunferenciaPunga]

Yeah, better than the original

[@arnoalbers1786]
