Recollections of their live appearances by George ManneyOur thanks to Geo (producer, archivist, composer & musician) for sharing these with Brain Damage; we recommend you check out his website at www.GeoSound.org. Over the years George has archived most of his posters, photos, illustrations, and recorded music representing the Philly Underground Scene. Amongst other things, you will find on the Archives page many ticket stubs, hand bills, pictures, posters & related items from The Beatles to The Nazz, and exclusive interviews with the likes of Bill Wyman and Sir George Martin.1968 British Invasion show at JFK Stadium:
Geo recalls: "As Pink Floyd fought the rain that night, George Carnell & I went backstage, and saw [Pete] Townshend & [Roger] Daltry get into a fight - there's a photo of Townshend on The Who archive page... "Then [Keith] Moon came in with a young girl and proceeded to throw her to the ground, and tear her clothes off. Just as this was starting, both George & I were thrown out of the dressing room by a bald headed road manager.
"Note: Syd Barrett was touring
with the Floyd but not playing. He stood to the side of the stage as
Dave Gilmour was playing guitar. Later that night we got to talk to
Pink Floyd with Barrett on WMMR [Radio] live..." Electric Factory, Philadelphia, 26th September 1970:
