FAR OUT FLOYD
Your reader Les Gallop asks about a Pink Floyd show at the Roundhouse, London, sometime in 1970/’71 [Take 303]. I was there too! It was a Sunday afternoon in early 1971. At the time there were regular ‘Implosions’ at the Roundhouse on Sunday afternoons, with great acts every time. The Floyd turned up and played the whole of Atom Heart Mother live. They had Ron Geesin with them on keyboards and other tape recorders. They used the upstairs of the Roundhouse (naturally round) to place speakers in a circle. They then used a 360° joystick to move sounds like footsteps, doors opening and closing and kids around in circles.
I remember them looking at each other a lot as the music changed to make sure they got it
