This week: What is a Happening?
...and who are the Beautiful People? What is it like to live - and not sleep - a 'fourteen-hour Technicolour Dream'? Seven thousand English people went through a night of psychedelic experience at Alexandra Palace finding out. So did three Man Alive film crews and their reporters. There were never less than three pop groups playing; there were inflatable plastic events; mountains of bananas; concerts of coloured lights. The organisers made a profit and the message of love, beauty, peace, and gentleness was spread. Whether you are square or groovy, way out or mellow yellow, you ought to try and understand-it seems there are going to be more.
