SPLISH! SPLASH! SPLOSH! MORE AMAZING FOOTAGE OF THE CREATION (1967)


Seeing how the previous post was such a hit, here's more of Ken White's home footage of The Creation.  This time, they're causing havoc on the water.  Also, a few of you picked me up on referring to them as a "decent enough band" when, of course, they were a great band.  I stand corrected.

THE CREATION IN HYDE PARK (1967)


This home movie footage was taken by Ken White in 1967 and shows nearly ten minutes of The Creation (Eddie Phillips, Bob Garner, Kim Gardner and Jack Jones) larking around in Hyde Park.  They were a decent enough band and the accompanying songs “Nightmares”, “If I Stay Too Long” and “Tom Tom” are okay but it’s the way they’re dressed: the clothes, the shoes, the hair, the shades, that grab the attention.  There’s never been a better look than the one captured in late ’66 to mid ’67 by the likes of The Creation, The Action and The Smoke (and the two passers-by at 1:23).
