Release Notes:
Pink Floyd played on the last night of this three day festival (10/9-10/11) and were second on the bill to The Nice. The Festival featured bands of the day including; Yes, Cuby's Blues Band, Deep Purple, Fleetwood Mac and others. The set list included A Saucerful of Secrets as the closer, but that has not made it to this recording or any other known recording.
This recording is *very old* however sound quality rates Good to Very Good in places. This recording has been speed corrected, and some cuts have been treated with fades to produce a more enjoyable listen. Some of the dropouts were unable to be treated as this is a mono recording.
