Man, sometimes you get lucky and sometimes you get REALLY lucky.
I cannot believe I was able to get my hands on this bootleg of Pink Floyd‘s 1970 performance on the legendary Peel Sessions. VERY cool.
All I know about this bootleg is that it’s dated July 16, 1970. And Pink frikkin’ Floyd played it.
Take a look at the track listing… most of the selections are from Atom Heart Mother (which was released about two months after this performance). Although the members of Pink Floyd publicly trounced the Atom Heart Mother recordings, the album was important in that it established the use of sound effects, voice samples/loops, and a more symphonic quality to their music. These qualities would help shape and characterize their later albums, most notably that of Dark Side of the Moon.
Interesting thing about the cover to Atom Heart Mother: the story goes that the photographer had “gone out into the countryside and [taken] a picture of the first thing he saw.”
This bootleg contains the 25 minute suite Atom Heart Mother performed by Pink Floyd accompanied by the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble and the John Aldiss Choir. Pretty spectacular, if you ask me. Thank you, John Peel!
Grab some headphones, a bag of popcorn, and let it all go for a while.
Be good.

I am very excited about this bootleg blog here!! I have never been the BIGGEST fan of Pink Floyd but I have always loved their music. It was something that all of my sisters listened to when I was growing up so it has always been in the background of my music exposure.
You said correctly when you said “most notably” Dark Side of the Mood because that is what I am most familiar with so these are a welcome addition to my lack of Pink Floyd knowledge. The bootleg section of this blog is one of my faves by far.
LOL – Dark Side of the Mood…. (sorry Mindy, HAD to point that out!)
You know what’s so cool about Pink Floyd? They are timeless. They’ve been around forever – or at least it feels that way – and they are one of my husband’s favorite bands. But the coolest part is they are also my 15 year old son’s favorite band. I think that says a lot about and band and their music when it can span generations like that. (Jake’s even got PF boxers, but DON’T YOU DARE TELL HIM I TOLD YOU THAT!) Anyway, they are both gonna love these, even though I’m not sure Jake’s at an age where he will appreciate any deviation from the studio versions of the songs….I’ll get back to you on that!
Thanks for these!
Very cool!!! Thank you!! Great timing too…music can be such a great escape, so I’m gonna take your advice, pop some popcorn, and let it all go for awhile :)
they make PF boxers? I SO need a pair of those.
didn’t know if you saw the comment I posted over at your myspace blog. Thanks for the great music! BTW, which one is Pink?
Thanks for this! Something I don’t have!
for the hardcore Pink Floyd fans, i recommend http://www.yeeshkul.com , you’ll find anything about Pink Floyd live there (lossless too)
This was the first gig I ever went to..it was free. So was the Hyde Park concert 2 days later where the Floyd did it all again.. The John Peel ‘Sunday repeated on Wednesday Show’ was actually recorded at the Paris Studios in Lower Regent Street, London on a Thursday night. Tiny, very loud space and a life changing night for a 15 year old!!
Wow… that’s a great story! Amazing that you were able to see them at such a young age. Thank you for stopping by and sharing!
