Sweden 1967

For this episode, its the only full length 1967 concert recording. The gig occurred during Pink Floyd’s first tour outside of Great Britain in Stockholm Sweden, just about a month and half after the release of The Piper At The Gates of Dawn. In 2011 the recording surfaced and was replayed at the same venue. The recording then landed in the hands of Pink Floyd and later released on The Early Years box set. I’ve fixed it up a little bit and added in a bunch of other period gems.  Enjoy!  Here’s the playlist. The podcast needs your support! Please DONATE! Thank you.

It’s a refurbished menagerie all sectioned off in few groups with many dogs and a cat, sheep, fox, mole, rats, mice, rabbits, pigs, a bear, an elephant, and a humpback whale. Here’s the list of species featured in this episode. Enjoy but please don’t feed the animals, thank you!

Festivals

Overall, Pink Floyd appeared in 51 festivals. This months edition scratches the surface of Pink Floyd’s festival appearances between 1968 and 1971. The bands festival circuit dwindled down to just 5 between 1972 and 1990 as their popularity and complex stage productions demanded larger venues and exclusive engagements. The podcast is enhanced with chapters to each festival featured. Enjoy and here’s the playlist.

Over The Counter

Happy New Year! Welcome to Brain Damage, the definitive Pink Floyd radio show’s 19th year as a podcast, but originally started out as a terrestrial radio show at Tufts University 20 years ago!

For this installment, it’s a doctor recommended and selected, compounded formulation of Floyd chill pills. Here’s the playlist. Medication time!

The Man And The Journey

Here’s the latest and this time, a revisit… a spotlight on Pink Floyd’s first conceptual piece, The Man And The Journey. It was a pivotal time for Pink Floyd and you can clearly hear the direction they’re starting to go down, so I figured I’d dust this recording off a little.

Someone released this one into the wild back in the late 90’s, but it wasn’t officially released until 2016. From the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, 17. September 1969. Here’s the playlist. Enjoy!
