PICTURES: DESTINO IBIZA'S FLOWER POWER FESTIVAL

Interesting scenes at Destino Ibiza's 50 Years of Flower Power Festival presented by Pacha, including large-scale recreations of the Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road sleeves, and what looks like the bus that Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters used to drive around California distributing free LSD from. The soundtrack was a mixed bag; Don McLean, Van Morrison, Sam & Dave and the Supremes aren't really what I think of as 'hippie' music. The most shocking thing of all were the drinks prices, though. 35 Euros for two sparkling waters and a Red Bull? Wasn't Flower Power supposed to be all about anti-capitalism?

Neil Sanders and Matt Sergiou return to the series for a three-way conversation marking the 50th anniversary of the fabled ‘Summer Of Love’, the zenith of the hippie/ counter-culture scene. The official record has it that this was an organic movement that that just grew on its own, but the new availability of information has shown it all to have had the fingerprints of the military-intelligence services such as the CIA, MI6 and the Tavistock Institute all over it.

We consider the legacy of the events which led to the 1967 climax and the effects they had on Western culture which are still being experienced today, the pre-cursor to it, the Beatnik scene of a generation earlier, and the parallels between what was happening in California and the avant-garde counter-culture scene of London in the 1960s. Along the way, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Charles Manson, LSD and the acid house scene of the 1980s all come up for discussion.


The musical soundtrack to those times:

ENTIRE AUDIO ARCHIVE TO BE RELOADED FOLLOWING SOUNDCLOUD TERMINATION

The re-upload of my entire audio archive of several hundred shows, (Good Vibrations, The Sound Of Freedom and everything else) has begun following my enforced take-down by Soundcloud last week, (see attached.) It will take many weeks of constant uploads to restore everything, especially with the slow internet connection in my area, but I’ll get there eventually. Check back here for updates as things progress.

In the meantime, there’s still a bunch of my material available at www.youtube.com/markdevlintv which hasn’t yet been shut down! 

What is it they say? “These things are sent to try us”?
