John Lennon in the crowd at the 14-Hour Technicolor Dream event held in London, England on April 29, 1967.
Yoko Ono staged “Cut Piece,” in the style of the Fluxus events she'd been involved with in New York in the early 1960s. A model, quite stoned, was seated on a step ladder with a blazing spotlight shining on her. Audience members were handed a pair of scissors, outfitted with a microphone plugged into the sound system, and were instructed to snip off her clothes. Bit by bit her clothes fell away, with a crowd of bemused (largely male) hippies swarming around her. Some looked on lecherously, but most just seemed confused.
