Pink Floyd @ Fillmore West, San Francisco 29.4.1970 

"Grantchester Meadows" to "Astronomy Domine" is one of the coolest segues I've ever heard. Everyone in the audience was probably higher than a U-2 over Beijing, so they must have been blown away.

This is one of their best performances in band's history!! Yes, it's that gd!! Every single nuance and sonic apocalypse is here!! If ever i could travel back in time to a concert......fkn INCREDIBLE!!!

Since no one has done the dirty work yet... CD 1 01 - Grantchester Meadows 00:00 02 - Astronomy Domine 07:02 03 - Cymbaline 17:28 04 - Atom Heart Mother 29:05 05 - Embryo 49:10 CD 2 01 - Green Is The Colour 01:00:33 02 - Careful With That Axe, Eugene 01:05:07 03 - Set The Controls 01:16:33 04 - A Saucerful Of Secrets 01:29:50 05 - Interstellar Overdrive 01:52:08

Been looking for THIS concert for years! Best version of Embryo ever.

This is the best example I've discovered of why the Post-Syd, Pre-DSOTM era of Pink Floyd is my favorite. I love Syd and constantly wonder what music he would've produced had he stayed in the band, but a lot of the pop singles he wrote sound fairly dated today and he just didn't have Gilmour's guitar chops. And I love Waters but subtlety isn't exactly his strong suit and that makes a lot of the sociopolitical thematic lyrics of his later albums overshadow his songwriting ability which I think is best highlighted in this era. Songwriting and musicianship are Pink Floyd's strong suits and both are strongly evident here. As a deadhead, the Grateful Dead played the Filmore West on 4/12/70 but by the time this show was performed they were on the east coast. Shame it never logistically worked out because having the Dead on the same bill as this show could've been the greatest thing in the history of music.

The way the birds chirp, which melts into" astromany domine" immaculate, deeply moving.

When I delve into Floyd's past it's around this period that I cherish, with all the bitterness and derision of the Roger VS David camp- one only has to listen to Grantchester Meadows ..one only has to listen. Peace

Shades of Echoes to come

Wow....never heard an axe like that!.....awesome!

One word, "QUALITY"!!!! 🎹🎸🥁🎤💯

Again thanks for another flawless recording, as a deadhead and a Floydie its cool to hear the Floyd in san fran let alone the FILLMORE dopeness🔥🔥

Amazing recording of when these guys were at their prime, when their music still had an intimate quality and they had not yet become an arena rock band. That Echoplex is almost like a fifth member of the band.

life-changing band

Parts three and four of Saucerful of Secrets has been my favorite song(piece of music?) for decades, and the level of improvisation with the live versions is more noted compared to most Pink Floyd songs. Many years ago when I first found RU-vid, I found that someone had posted Celestial Voices from the May 1st, 1970 performance in Santa Monica, a day after this performance. Being familiar with the May 1st show, it's incredible having a performance recorded just a bit before, it shows a little clumsiness on guitar that doesn't show later, a real evolutionary step. Thanks for posting!

I've heard almost every Floyd bootleg imaginable, this version of " set the controls" is the holy grail🏆 6:48 = the way "Grandchester Meadows" melts into "Astronomy Domine" is the stuff dreams are made of ❤️

Something new for me to listen to. Ten out of ten. Top banana.

thank you for posting !! the saucerful is majestic !!

One of the first PF boots I ever got, this may be one of their best performances!

Awesome beginning to a concert! Wish I could have been there but I was only 4 at the time. An older family member was in attendance and I got to ask him about it (years later) but he told me he was too stoned to remember much ...he only remembered the GONG...

Great. its my actually birthday, only being hours old !!

Very good 👍🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

This is tops.

good job thanks man

I’m just discovering just how much of a genius that Syd really was; but it’s kinda funny when all the people who’ve never heard him say that he’s a nobody, nothing and they think 🤔 it was all Waters or Gilmour. Ya’know? I dig this ☝️ as I’m listening to it whilst writing ✍️ So grateful for your sharing the oddities of the band’s earlier material so thanks 🙏🏻 again Cuz I know I’m appreciative for your time. Sincerely yours, DJP ex PostMortem and Kilslug Boston Massachusetts USA Amerikkka of course, right? 🇨🇳🏳️ soon enough my friend

PF played in SF in early 70's and it started with a Betty Boop cartoon plus a spooky guy.. Bella Lugosi or Boris Karlov -movie short? Twas there wherever that was. 1972? ATOM H mofo. With Jones and Wolfman and Oily.

i remember dropping y chocolate in some girls peanut butter there ,,,,and we got married eventually ...this was before the reeses commercials ,,,,my friend was there with an arbys clicker and gooed up gilmour during granchester meadows ,,my now wife was not happy shes not into roast beef !!

is this audience or soundboard? also "Interstellar Overdrive" was filmed

Greatest concert ever heard. Who does this??????????????

DID YOU KNOW THAT PINK FLOYD CAN BE USED IN A SODOKU PUZZLE? ? ? ? Weed Me

This isn't strictly commercial.

Brilliant recording, super high quality thanks!! However, of the concert itself a lot of it is just ambient stuff I don't much favour from the Sid Barrett era - is it possible to drop some tags on the timeline to identify the individual tracks? I have seen it done elsewhere in RU-vid.

Mbrieohhh.
