An ingredient as important as any band at a Dance Hall in the mid to late 60's were the Liquid Light Shows that added stunning visual effects to the sounds of the music.

One pioneer in the USA was Elias Romero who in 1964 started using techniques 'discovered' by Seymore Lochs, a professor at San Francisco State University, closely followed by Paul Beattie.

Meanwhile in the UK in 'Parallel Evolution' at The Marquee Club on London's Oxford Street in the summer of 1963 Mark Boyle at Michael Horovitz’s ‘New Departures’ Sunday afternoon events was producing 'Lights, Slides and Back Projections' to accompany Avante Garde/Jazz Musicians (including a Pre Soft Machine Robert Wyatt and Daevid Allen...)

While he was in SF, Romero's landlord was one Bill Ham who used what may have been the first kinetic lighting effects at a Rock 'n' Roll gig.

The venue?...the Legendary Red Dog Saloon, Nevada in 1965.

Soon Liquid Light Shows were springing up in every Dance Hall and were an important part of the psychedelic experience.
