1968-69: The Progressive Tendency Sounds of the Sixties

'On BBC Two now, another Western story of The High Chaparral.

'On BBC One, for the first time in colour...'

# Little by little The night turns around... #

The Pink Floyd.

# Counting the leaves which tremble at dawn

# Lotuses lean on each other in yearning

# Under the eaves The swallow is resting

# Set the controls for the heart of the sun

# Over the mountain Watching the watcher

# Breaking the darkness Waking the grapevine

# One inch of love is one of inch of shadow

# Love is the shadow that ripens the wine

# Set the controls for the heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun

# The heart of the sun... #

Ten years ago, the writers and the publishers were fussy.

They would sit together for hours,

changing one word, because it didn't seem right. Now it doesn't matter.

# I looooove you....# You know, this is music.

It doesn't fit, so make it fit.

# Spring has showered frae a drip... #

Donovan.

# Splash and trickle running

# Plant has flowered in the sun

# Shell on the pebbles sunning

# So begins another spring

# Green leaves under berries

# Chiff-chaff eggs are painted by

# Mother bird eating cherries...

# In a misty, tangled sky

# Fast a wind is blowing

# In a newborn rabbit's heart

# River life is flowing

# So begins another spring

# Green leaves under berries

# Chiff-chaff eggs are painted by

# Mother bird eating cherries

# Spring has flowered fae a drip

# Splash and a trickle running

# Plant has flowered in yon sun

# Shell and pebble sunning

# So begins another spring

# Green leaves under berries

# Chiff-chaff eggs are painted by

# Mother bird eating cherries...

# La da da dee.... #

CHEERING

Thank you very much. Well, when the critics and the audience agree that

something's very good, it's got to be very good so,

the group we're talking about is Fleetwood Mac

and they play the blues.

We're now going to do our latest single...

Called Oh, Well.

GUITAR INTRO

# I can't help about the shape I'm in

# I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

# But don't ask me what I think of you

# I might not give the answer that you want me to...

# Now when I talk to God I thought he'd understand

# He said, "Stick by my side and I'll be your guiding hand

# "But don't ask me what I think of you,

# "I might not give the answer that you want me to." #

HE LAUGHS

# I can't see you but you can see me

# Waiting along the road

# Thumbing a ride to get into town

# Hey, where'd you get the automobe

# See you around the corner

# Wait for my flame to burn

# My eyes are dim, I cannot see

# But I know there's a good time waiting for me, yeah

# Making my scene just groovin' around

# Making what chicks I can

# Drink what I like and I dance what I do

# I'm getting right through to the band

# See you in the corner

# Wait for my flame to burn

# My eyes are dim, I cannot see

# I'd sooner feel you, babe Feeling me

# Think I'll leap around a bit

# And sow my seed somewhere

# Go on round to the 46

# And do the things that I dare

# See you in the corner

# Wait for my flame to burn

# My eyes are dim, I cannot see

# You'd better not take that thought from me, no #

# That thought from me, no

# You know you better not take that thought from me

# Got the feeling. #

APPLAUSE

Well, ladies and gentlemen, in case you didn't know,

Jimi and the boys won in a big American magazine...

SCREECHING AMPLIFIER FEEDBACK

called Billboard, the Group Of The Year,

and they're going to sing for you the song that absolutely made them

in this country - and I love to hear them sing it - Hey Joe.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Looky heres, looky heres.

# Hey Joe, I said, where you goin' with that gun of your hand?

# Hey Joe, I said, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?

# I'm goin' way down south, way down south

# You know I shot my old lady, I got to get out of here as fast as I can

# I shot my lady... #

And I forgot the words...

# Get out of here as fast as I can, yeah! #

We're going to stop playing this rubbish

and dedicate a song to the Cream,

regardless of what kind of group they might be in,

we'd like to dedicate it to Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce.

MUSIC: "Sunshine Of Your Love"

We're being put off the air.

Does that satisfy you?

MUSIC: "Sunshine Of Your Love"

# It's getting near dawn

# When lights close their tired eyes

# I'll soon be with you, my love

# To give you my dawn surprise

# I'll be with you, darling, soon

# I'll be with you when the stars start falling

# I've been waiting so long

# To be where I'm going

# In the sunshine of your love Yeah, yeah, yeah

# I'm with you, my love

# The light's shining through on you

# I'm with you, my love

# It's the morning and just we two

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Thank you.

This is the end of the programme, the end of the series.

I'd say, the end of a tiny little bit of social history.

But before our glasses steam up, with dashes of suspicious moisture

from our eyes, we'd better have a song.

# They paved paradise

# Put up a parking lot... #

APPLAUSE

# With a pink hotel, a boutique

# And a swinging hotspot

# Don't it always seem to go

# You don't know what you've got till it's gone?

# They paved paradise

# Put up a parking lot

# Now they took all the trees

# Put them in a tree museum

# Then they charged all the people

# A dollar and a half just to see 'em

# I said don't it always seem to go

# You don't know what you've got till it's gone?

# They paved paradise

# Put up a parking lot

# Hey, farmer, farmer

# Put away that DDT now

# Give me spots on my apples

# But leave me the birds and the bees

# Don't it always seem to go

# You don't know what you've got till it's gone?

# They paved paradise

# Put up a parking lot

# Late last night

# I heard that screen door slam

# And a big yellow taxi

# Come and took away my old man

# Don't it always seem to go

# That you don't know what you've got till it's gone?

# They paved paradise

# Put up a parking lot

# Late last night

# I heard that screen door slam

# And a big yellow tractor

# Come and took away my house

# It took away my land

# I said don't it always seem to go

# You don't know what you've got till it's gone?

# They paved paradise

# Put up a parking lot

# They paved paradise

# Put up a parking lot

# They paved paradise

# Put up a parking lot. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# We are stardust

# We are golden

# And we got to get ourselves

# Back to the garden

# We are stardust

# We are golden... #
