Wendy Bannister, wife of the legendary concert promotor Freddy Bannister, has contacted us with details of another box set offer that they have put together especially for Brain Damage, which takes a retrospective look at the concerts they promoted with the likes of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin playing.

Pink Floyd & others at Bath Festival, 1970
PINK FLOYD AND OTHERS AT BATH
FESTIVAL, FEATURED IN BOX SET
This set looks at the 1969 and 1970 Bath Festivals, and the 1971 Lincoln Festival. It also looks, via the book included, at a whole range of Bannister-promoted concerts in the late sixties and early seventies. Pink Floyd performed at the 1970 Bath Festival, playing Atom Heart Mother with a full orchestra.

Here's what the limited edition of 200, signed and numbered by Freddy Bannister, commemorative box set includes:

  • The tickets, handbills and programmes from the following festivals (the original programmes, handbills and tickets are now almost impossible to locate and would cost in total over £1,000 - if you could find them):
    • 1969 Bath featuring Led Zeppelin, John Mayall and Pete Green
    • 1970 Bath featuring Pink Floyd (where they premiered Atom Heart Mother), Led Zeppelin, Jefferson Airplane, Santana, Steppenwolf, Johnny Winter, Frank Zappa, The Byrds, Canned Heat, Fairport Convention, Country Joe, Hot Tuna and John Mayall with Pete Green
    • 1971 Lincoln Festival with James Taylor and The Byrds
  • A 330 page hardback book by Freddy Bannister all about promoting in the sixties and his first ever gigs with Pink Floyd at various small halls in England
  • An album of 28 photos of the festivals, mainly backstage at 1970 Bath
  • A handbill from The Pavilion, Bath 1963 advertising The Beatles forthcoming appearance
  • And as a special gift the following 6 CDs and a DVD:
    • 1 x 75 mins CD of Pink Floyd live at the BBC, including Green Is The Colour, Careful With That Axe Eugene, A Saucerful Of Secrets, Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, Atom Heart Mother
    • A 3 CD set live from the 1970 Bath Festival with Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Winter, Jefferson Airplane, Frank Zappa, Steppenwolf, Santana, The Byrds, Canned Heat, John Mayall, Donovan, Hot Tuna, Country Joe
    • 1 CD from the 1971 Lincoln Festival of The Byrds, James Taylor
    • A DVD of the BBC interviewing Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee which ends with them performing in the back of their limo on the way to the 1971 Lincoln festival. It also includes various BBC interviews with the performers from this festival plus some great crowd shots etc. (very rare - they have only just discovered it - even the BBC no longer have a copy)

The cost of the set is normally £75, plus £7.50 in the UK and £20 to the States, and is on their website at this price, but especially for Brain Damage visitors, this is reduced by £10 to £65 - a good saving, and you also get a selection of CDs and a DVD that come with this special Brain Damage edition.

Our thanks to Wendy Bannister for making this offer available through Brain Damage.
