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.
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
The Kinks un de mes groupes préférés des sixties..Chanteur poète Ray Davies j'adore ! inoubliable ! "Waterloo Sunset " une autre pépite ...parmi tant d'autres
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 😊
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).
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.
Last days of the Swinging London. Well, I was 3 years old, but in that time, I was already sensible to this atmosphere. Now, I'd like to get those feelings again. An old french beatnik.

I was born in 1983, 17 years after that day, in another country with different culture and history... But please somebody, help me to understand, why i have strong nostalgic feelings after that video???
@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.
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.
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.
"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.
Thanks! I was impressed by these places when I found all the documentary films that had them in it, all from Pathe. It would have been something to actually be there in 1967.

The model with the Bob Dylan dress is demonstrating a paper disposable dress, a quick trend back then. I think she is Kellie Wilson, a popular U.S. model who lived and worked in London in the late 60s to early 70s.
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.

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 ☮
UFF UNAS DE MIS BANDAS FAVORITAS DE ESA REVOLUCIONARIA INVACION BRITANICA HERMOSA MUSICA DE ESTAS LEYENDAS DEL ROCK BRITANICO ..DESDE SANTIAGO DE CHILE UN FRATERNO ABRAZO AMIGAS Y AMIGOS QUE COMPARTIMOS ESTAS LEYENDAS ...HARE KRISHNA
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.
Three important band early on, and The Kinks were one of them. I would also add The Animals and The Zombies ... for introducing blues and jazz into the mix.
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. I actually convinced my folks to take me to Carnaby St in early 1968 and I visited the Apple Boutique. Wiki says it was "on the corner of Baker Street and Paddington Street, Marylebone, London. It opened on 7 December 1967 and closed on 31 July 1968" so...whew! Good timing! I was 12 years old. Bought some purple granny glasses. Wish I had scarfed up a bunch of cheap Beatles signatures for my retirement fund but...oh well. (-:
Thanks Kent! I love that footage, almost feel like I was there. Good and accurate docu footage is so perfect for some of these songs. Really nothing else can replace the real thing!
@@mikemunrowsretro8973 But your rediscovered footage is a bit clearer than my 50 year old memories, especially after two Martinis. LOL Great stuff! Sending your links out to a few Jurassic friends tonight. 😂
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.
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!!
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.
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
It's worth being old now to have been young then
I still wish I was 20 years younger all the same and could still hold on to these memories too. Impossible of course!

If ever there was a video that could transport you back in time this is it.
INA is the French television archives channel full of time capsules.
Yea, I think this one is different than a lot of other videos of that time - I liked it a lot - had a more "real" feel to it than most.

The London dream of the sixties.Damn it! I was born too late!What an incredible era really far from nowadays.
No one is going to look back at footage of 2024 and get this same feeling.
2024 - 🤢🤮 - is also when everyone became broke and homeless.
Above all, they will remember the Third World War which will explode in their faces, it will wipe out this shitty era.
No I was there, a child, people were lovers, now days people are haters
Depends how much worse things get…
Different era, different feeling.

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 🎶🎶
As a 12 y.o. kid, I bought a 45 record of this song and played it forever over and over....Ray Davies was one of the best British poets

I was a freshman in high school at the American school in London in 1966. A great place to be and a great time to be alive.

Its noticiable In this era, clothes were much brighter than they are today. Today, the colours worn are predominantly dark blue or black.
Indeed. People these days dress to blend in rather than stand out - as in the 19th century, when men wore identikit black suits and stove hats.
Not in Australia.

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

Oh for those days they were sunny afternoons, all of the time!
The sun was out this morning, but all the snow around here made me almost snow blind! Should have worn my sunglasses!
Remember it well. I was about fifteen, living in East Point GA.
Love The Kinks and this song is so true!!!!
I spent the most lovely summer in London in 1967. Get your time machines and head there now peeps! I highly recommend it.
Im 64 nostalgie
You are correct. At least you get it.
The scenery is mind blowing, and I thank you for touching my soul. Sometimes women are capable of doing that.
Absolutely! Thanks for sharing!
Obsessed with the Bob Dylan dress.
UFF UNAS DE MIS BANDAS FAVORITAS DE ESA REVOLUCIONARIA INVACION BRITANICA HERMOSA MUSICA DE ESTAS LEYENDAS DEL ROCK BRITANICO ..DESDE SANTIAGO DE CHILE UN FRATERNO ABRAZO AMIGAS Y AMIGOS QUE COMPARTIMOS ESTAS LEYENDAS ...HARE KRISHNA
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 was born in 1966 and I'm playing this now..Beautiful 🌵 🍷
The band that actually started the ball rolling bar none 👍🏴
Three important band early on, and The Kinks were one of them. I would also add The Animals and The Zombies ... for introducing blues and jazz into the mix.
The good old days ❤😊
Yes, these were also my teenage years in London. I can only echo other posters sentiments, what a great time and place to be alive.
Swinging London!
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.
I actually convinced my folks to take me to Carnaby St in early 1968 and I visited the Apple Boutique. Wiki says it was "on the corner of Baker Street and Paddington Street, Marylebone, London. It opened on 7 December 1967 and closed on 31 July 1968" so...whew! Good timing! I was 12 years old. Bought some purple granny glasses. Wish I had scarfed up a bunch of cheap Beatles signatures for my retirement fund but...oh well. (-:
Thanks Kent! I love that footage, almost feel like I was there. Good and accurate docu footage is so perfect for some of these songs. Really nothing else can replace the real thing!
@@mikemunrowsretro8973 But your rediscovered footage is a bit clearer than my 50 year old memories, especially after two Martinis. LOL Great stuff! Sending your links out to a few Jurassic friends tonight. 😂
Everything has gone horribly wrong since this video was made back in the 1960s!
You got that right.
I love the famous Bob Dylan paper dress scene. Just one of those dresses would fetch a hundred grand now.
J avais 18 ans et je de barquais de ma province pour commencer la fac.quel emerveillement.quelle liberte.
I used to listen to this on the way to ROTC drills.
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.
We need more love and less hate
Love that dolly in the paper dress.
Thanks for sharing✨🎨👨🎨🕊️✨👍🏻✨.
You're most welcome. Thanks!
Quelle élégance dans les rues Rien n'a voir avec maintenant😢
Theres certainly some very beautiful young ladies in the video
Love this song
Not a religious person, but if there is some higher power, Bless The British!!
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
yes. that s got to be YOKO 50-54 sec mark. !! so the comment about video in 1968 rings true (music 1966).
Oh the memories! Vietnam took away from a better time. But this great song reminds me of it all!
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.
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
