Show #76 Release date: 19. January, 2007

I love the BBC.  For this podcast we go back to London 1970 and 1971 but first we start things off with Cymbaline recorded live the same day as the famous KQED sessions in San Francisco on 29. April, 1970 at Fillmore West.

The first half of this podcast consists of a master live recording session done for BBC Radio One later broadcast on John Peel's Sunday Concert three days later.

Paris Cinema, London, 16. July, 1970
1. The Embryo
2. Fat Old Sun
3. Green Is The Colour
4. Careful With That Axe Eugene
5. If
6. Atom Heart Mother (with the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble and the John Aldiss Choir)

For the second half, we have another live recording session for BBC Radio One's Sounds of The Seventies program broadcast 10. October 1971.  This is a complete pre-broadcast, unmixed master from the BBC archives.

Paris Cinema, London, 30. September, 1971
1. Fat Old Sun
2. One of These Days
3. The Embryo

  • I think in this broadcast you ask about the difference between the United Kingdom and Great Britain. There is a site which neatly describes the difference, and rather than copy the information here is a link: http://www.geo.ed.ac.uk/home/scotland/britain.html

  • Doctor - thanks for this brilliant website, and above all for these recordings. I've commented on a few and the quality of this one is superb. I'm a complete addict and am now permanently attached to your site by a drip.

  • These shows are excellent - along with 'Live At Pompeii' my favourite 'live' stuff.

  • Hey doctor. Recently found this site and I\'m totally gorging on early Floyd/ This recording is one of my faves; I think they were at their experimental and hard-rocking best around 1970 and songs like \'Cymbeline\' and \'Green Is The Colour\' are really underrated. Just wondering whether you had a copy of \'Violence In Birmingham\' to \'cast. I\'ve never heard the \'Violent Sequence\' and would love to hear how it relates to \'Us And Them\'.

  • Man the second half is awesome. Shithot!

    Doc, doe you have "Comfortably Numb as played at the Superdome in New Orleans on the 1994 tour...it was the best version Dave has played"?

  • Ka Mr. Doctor Man,
    I just have to say that your podcast is THE greatest podcast ever. I appreciate the work you put in to make these; I have been going back and downloading all the past archived episodes. So many gems to be heard. Anyway Pink Floyd kicks ass and so do you.

    Ka like the wind.

  • John Peele's "I always find the Pink Floyd's music to be positive and uplifting.." comment has always amused me. Yep, I'd put them right up there with the Bay City Rollers for skip down the road happy go lucky music.

  • For some reason I haven´t been able to download it. After some time of download it says that the connection to the server failed... Its probably my PCs fault...

    I was thinking on topics for future podcasts... and something rather bold came to my mind. Maybe you could put one song in which a floyd member contributed as a session musician, in each podcast. Making an entire show full of "outdoors" groups would be too much, but once in a while a song for hearing what our Boys did out of floyd.

    What do you think?

    Thanks for your work Doc.

  • Out of this world amazing my favorate era of Pink Floyd, well 70-72

  • Great. You read my mind Doc - I was about to request some BBC Sessions. How about complementing this with a complete BBC Studio Sessions podcast, including Syd\'s solo sessions? It would be great to have all of these in one place at last.

  • Great to hear these uninterrupted! I'd always heard radio broadcasts that would have most (but not quite all) of the stuff on here, and a vinyl boot that had the longer Fat Old Sun, etc., and any time I heard the AHM suite it would be edited down in one way or another ... too bad the sound is mono, like you said, but it is good quality sound at least.

  • Great one Doc - always loved these performances. Any chance of the full Fillmore West performance from 1970 on a future show? My CD of it is missing half of Set The Controls.

  • Great show Doc! And many many thanks for the “Atom Heart Mother – Tip? on dailymotion.com. Listen to it with tears in my eyes...

  • Now that's what I'm talking about.
    Been craving this for a long time so it is great to get
    a special request in. Thanks a million.
    These are my favorite old roio (well faily determined origin).

  • this is a a superb show but i was wondering could you do a show with this line up in order inside your next podcast
    • "Get Back to Radio"- single
    • "Folded Flags" -when the wind blows
    soundtrack
    • "Radio Waves" -radio k.a.o.s.
    • "Who Needs Information" -radio k.a.o.s.
    • "Me or Him" -radio k.a.o.s.
    • "Molly's Song" - live
    • "The Powers That Be"-radio k.a.o.s.
    • "Going to Live in LA" - single
    • "Sunset Strip" -radio k.a.o.s.
    • "Home" -radio k.a.o.s.
    • "Four Minutes" - radio k.a.o.s.
    • "The Tide Is Turning" -radio k.a.o.s.

    i think it is a better (story wise) line up than the album line up

    i really hope you can do it ,Max Nathan
