Pink Floyd - San Francisco 1970 - Radio Broadcast - Floppy Boot Stomp

Wonderful TV broadcast audio quality Floyd from way back and really worth listening to . . . . . I am listening today to this as its so hot here . . 27 degrees . . . . . 

"Icy wind of nights be gone this is not your domain"
In the sky a bird is heard to cry
Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds
Belied the deathly silence that lay all around

Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer, making for the sea

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down
All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room

Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer, making for the sea"

Cover Art Date is incorrect 

 

Live performance by Pink Floyd on 4/30/1970. This set was recorded and broadcast separately on KQED FM and KQED TV in San Francisco CA. The band plays the first side of their not yet released album Atom Heart Mother (1970), 3 songs from Ummagumma (1969) and 2 earlier songs from 1968 releases. 

Widely bootlegged in the decades since, the performance is now officially available on DVD from the band. Recently, KQED unearthed raw footage of Pink Floyd's performance, which included a half hour of music not included in the original program. After months of negotiations, KQED has been granted the right to exclusively premiere film of one of those songs, "Astronomy Domine." [Video is at the end of this post.]

I had no idea this existed and maybe I left Pink Floyd behind after Syd left  but that's not entirely true. I really left them around the time of Dark Side and found it crass and boring as I have said so Umma Gumma and every album up to Moon I have and I DID worship Roger and Dave Rick and Nick for quite some time. Meddle I LOVED! But then the Dark Side and the dreadful Wall stuff left me cold and thought them obvious, cliched, laughable and really really well, dull!

This is a fine recording of a fine performance  from San Fran TV!  At the bands peak . . . . . IMHO

Enjoy! I did!
