The New York Times reports that filmmaker Peter Whitehead died on June 10. He was 82.
Whitehead directed the 1967 film “Tonite Let’s All Make Love in London,” a portrait of the city’s swinging ’60s scene that featured a young Pink Floyd.
Music from the film, “Interstellar Overdrive” and “Nick’s Boogie,” were released in 1995 as the EP “Pink Floyd London ’66/’67.”
Whitehead also directed “Charlie Is My Darling,” a 1966 film documenting The Rolling Stones‘ tour of Ireland.

Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour will publish “Three Different Ones,” a three-part podcast series beginning tomorrow.
The podcast is a prelude to the upcoming auction of 120 of Gilmour’s guitars taking place in New York on June 20.
Episode 1, dropping May 31, focuses on his legendary black Stratocaster. The June 7 episode covers the 6- and 12-string Martin acoustic guitars he used in writing and recording “Wish You Were Here” (1975). And the series concludes June 14 with a final episode about his white Strat, serial #0001.
Auctioneers Christie’s announced the Gilmour auction in January. All proceeds will go to charity.
The entire collection was on display at Christie’s on King Street, London, March 27-31. Selected guitars were displayed in Los Angeles May 7-11. Your final chance to see them will be in New York as part of the sale preview that runs June 14-19.
