I never knew UFO Club lasted under a year. Nevertheless, it remains a spiritual home to me (along with San Francisco's Haight Ashbury district). Me, a black kid from the South Bronx, a dozen years too young to ever have ever even been there to see Soft Machine and Syd's Pink Floyd, Tomorrow, and Arthur Brown (ESPECIALLY Soft Machine), though I've heard the recordings. Thanks for this.

@@markbrooks7157 New York City private schools from the early to the late 70's is the answer. Barely anyone even THERE was listening to anything but radio rock, but one classmate was a big fan of Canterbury Scene bands Soft Machine, Henry Cow, Hatfield & The North, Caravan, et. al. I got to digging them and--long story short--knew to go see Daveid Allen when he came to New York in 1979 and played with what he called "New York Gong" (I even recorded it but have since lost the cassettes). That's the short version. The long one takes up an entire novel.

I saw the Doors and Jefferson Airplane at the Roundhouse, Chalk Farm, in 1967. Never went to the actual UFO club though. We had our own great club in Erdington, Birmingham called 'Mothers'. At that club they had bands like The Who, The Deviants, Moby Grape, Eclection and Fairport Convention.

There will never be times like those times at the UFO anywhere in the world. With all this auto-tuning and algorithm driven whatever they claim to be music. This is just something that will remain in the past nothing can bring any sort of evolution or revolution to fruition though I wasn't around during that time. I'm lucky to experience this where when I was younger. Music sales were driven by vinyl and CD sales those times are pretty much gone. The one thing that gives me hope is the final revival. It's unfortunate that the quality of the wax is so poor in general compared to its high price so please keep doing these great mini documentaries. They are important for people much younger than me that will hopefully have enough patience to try and understand history.

Many, many thanks for putting up a history of the UFO club. I've seen it mentioned in many places, but I can't recall seeing that it lasted less than a year, nor the places it was located. Almost every episode is an education for this elderly Yank. I love your videos, and the shots of a double-decker bus going down a London street fuels my imagination of what London looked like. I did get to spend the summer of '69 in London and went to the Roundhouse a few times, but I remember hearing previews of Fairport's 'A Sailor's Life' and Mott's cover of 'You Really Got Me' more than the artists that I saw (the Deviants were one). I did love Joe Boyd's Witchseason productions and saw Richard Thompson more than 20 times, so when a former housemate starting working at Rykodisc/Hannibal, he told me about working with Joe, and later told me about "White Bicycle" when it came out. But this cideo really filled a gapin my 'knowledge' of the period.

It's a miracle they even managed to pull off that half-assed show on the roof given everyone's self doubt & second-guessing.

UFO is clearly part of London´s legendary history of revolutionary clubs where whole musical subcultures got started or had their main base at. These include The Flamingo for mods, UFO for psychedelia, 100 club for punk, Batcave for goth, Blitz for New Romantics and Shoom for the early rave scene in the late 80s. Anyway since I am more of a mod and psychedelia fan I would go only to Flamingo, UFO and Shoom out of all of those if I had a time machine.

At first I thought this was gonna be a video about the *fantastic* band UFO. But this is quite interesting! Interesting how clubs played such a major part in music scenes back then. CBGB'S, Max's Kansas City, Marquee Club, etc. I was recently reading Anthony Decurtis' book "Lou Reed: A Life" and it talks about the Velvet Underground's time playing in clubs and Warhol's factory. The sound clips in this video do a great job of demonstrating how varied psychedelic rock is. There's really heavy, borderline metal bands like Blue Cheer, Tomorrow, Arthur Brown, Hendrix, etc. as well as lighter stuff like Pink Floyd.

Fascinating piece about this club. I doubt many of us Yanks knew about this but the psychedelic light shows accompanying acts at the Fillmore West and Fillmore East were well known here. And in NYC in 1966 artist Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey - who directed many of Warhol's films, and who became a sometime manager of the Velvet Underground - sublet the Dom ballroom and turned it into a nightclub. The Velvet Underground was the house band, and their performances under Andy Warhol's influence were accompanied by many light effects with the added touches of projected movies and projected photographs, all going on at the same time. The experience was called the "Exploding Plastic Inevitable." Then the name changed to The Electric Circus from 1967 to 1971. With its invitation (from one of its press releases) to "play games, dress as you like, dance, sit, think, tune in and turn on," and its mix of light shows, music, circus performers and experimental theater, the Electric Circus embodied the wild and creative side of 1960s club culture. Big thanks for this YP!

Another great video. Coincidentally, I was watching an Italian movie this afternoon: Escalation (1968). The film's young lead character is living life in swinging 60s London until he is dragged back home to his duties at the family business. In the first 5 minutes of the movie he is cycling through London with a sitar slung over his shoulder, before hooking up with a very young Madeline Smith and then grooving the night away to Arthur Brown, at (I'm guessing) the UFO Club at the Roundhouse. I haven't been able to find any details on line to confirm it but its pretty cool.

"Most people are mad (crazy), fake flower people (weekend hippies)." Never went to England, but I remember clearly the social revolution that was Peace and Love. The music was the most original creation of the 60's with electronic musical tools never used before. There was a light year of difference between Buddy Holly and Jimi Hendrix fueled by psychedelia I think few people really appreciated even today. As the man said about society being mad is that the happy flower children were sane and unfortunately they were crucified by our insane society. The message of Love is needed more than ever today.

I always thought ''My Friend Jack'' was an original Boney M song… I just found out it's a “The Smoke” song. Clearly prefer this, the original version. 2:22 Thanks, YP. 😃

please forgive me for the salty language, but it really pisses me off when young people have a place they like to hang out antd the establishment puts pressure on them and they are forced to close. Pandora's Box a much-loved teen Hangout on the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles was put out of business the same way

Ive read the book, Riot on Sunset Strip and is a cracking read. Seems there were so many places for the youngsters to hang out back then. Hmmmm, yes, the bloody establishment.

Great video. Sounds like UFO was a victim of its own success. As happy as Barrett was in the early days, I am sure he was deeply troubled when he saw how things were unravelling. End of Flower Power. Indeed!

At least the UFO club didn't go the way of Tony Wilson's Hacienda club. A long money draining story. A great music scene meshed with financial incompetence. Especially The Happy Mondays and Barbados.

@@mikewilson3581 Being able to work out what's relevant and what isn't is my qualification. By the way, you're conflating the Hacienda and Factory Records, two connected but separate things, it was the long wait and subsequent underperformance of New Orders Republic album that financially destroyed the Hac, not Yes Please.

@@lucasoheyze4597 Your becoming too emotional on this one. And there was a link between the Hacienda and Factory. And The Mondays were relevant in the potential downfall because Factory needed a hit album for cash. The Hacienda had become a money pit. Besides, I was talking about potential similarities that could have occurred in different time periods. Calm down kid. There are much worse things to worry about these days. I'm going jettison this interruption and get on with my life now. Besides, this whole conversation will be hidden by the mist of time and soon forgotten.
