LDB Special Series #235

Out of my 7,000+ shows and radio broadcasts, I have many concerts that were special for some reasons: the setlist, the
musicians, the venue or unexpected events. These are the ones I'd like to propose you. Most of these come from my
cassettes collection, so they will be released at a slower pace than my Master Series! But you won't be disappointed!
I will try to gather the most unusual things I have in my collection and, as always, your feedback and comments will be my
reward for all the work involved in this project.

DO NOT share this music on mp3, just convert it for your own use. Sharing mp3's is the right way to make me stop sharing
music here.

I am opening the Pink Floyd vaults this time, and found a strange one. This is a 1986 re-broadcast of the John Peel session
recorded back at the end of 1967. The intro is from the man himself and the story is quite amusing: actually the BBC has
lost the master of the original session and everything they can broadcast is a copy from a guy who actually taped the
show! Hence the sound quality which is not pristine. John Peel even mentions that what they were doing (by broadcasting a
copy taped off the radio) was illegal, but that it was the only way to hear those sessions! Also, John Peel wrongly dates
these sessions on august 1968, since he does not seem to have precise details available.

The music and the session is very well known, but probably without the funny comments from John. RIP John Peel!
