Recollections of their live appearances by George Manney

Our 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.

"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..."

Geo recalls: "It was at this show that Rick Wright used a joystick to send footsteps & other effects around the Factory with a new Pink Floyd Quad PA system."
