Celestial Instruments

Show #97 – Release date: 26. October, 2007

This podcast features an excellent recording taken from the soundboard on the 9th August, 1969 at The Paradiso in Amsterdam.  The gig was recorded by Dutch radio station Hilversum 3 for a future broadcast unfortunately a microphone failure on the bands vocals forced them to perform an instrumental set.  As a result the gig never aired.  The recording surfaced recently with a short set of four numbers with absolutely no vocals, but the sound quality is amazing.

BBC Early Sessions

Show #77 Release date: 2. February, 2007

I still love the BBC.  We continue along the same path as the last podcast but further back in time to the early days of Pink Floyd and their heavy, almost regular appearances for BBC’s Top Gear and Night Ride.  The podcast starts off with a “violence” request from Martin.
