Great choice, you can really loose yourself in the title track.
good one for sitting in the garden on a sunny day 
In December 1970 the Floyd embarked on a short but ambitious UK tour called “Atom Heart Mother Goes On The Road” which featured the group plus a choir and brass section. The last night of of the tour, and the final date of 1970, was at Sheffield City Hall on 22nd December. This gig was recorded - very well, as it happens – by two people and enterprising fans have made a very good-sounding matrix from the two sources.
1. Intro – 1.5 min
2. Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast (This was only ever performed on this short tour, and then only on three or four nights. On this version the first part, “Rise and Shine”, is completely different to ther version on the record. Nick Mason plays the fool, making coffee and frying eggs and complaining about how “disgusting” this all is, as “it’s not really music”. There’s also a long surreal section featuring tape cutups of DJ Jimmy Young, which degenerates into gibberish. The Floyd resurrected this idea for their 1974 Brintish Winter Tour, when a similar tape was used as an intro to “Raving and Drooling”) – 24 min
3. faffing about (Roger berates Dave for not being ready and for dithering about. Interestingly, Rog sounds rather prissy throughout the gig) - 4 min
4. Embryo - 12 mins
5. more faffing about – 2.5 min
6. Fat Old Sun – 15 min
7. tuning up - 1 min
8. Careful With That Axe, Eugene – 15 min
9. Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun – 16 min
10. A Saucerful of Secrets (cut short by a power cut) – 19.5 min
11. Faffing around yet again trying to sort out the power – 2 min
12. Celestial Voices (a name sometimes given to the third, ‘choral’ section of “A Saucerful of Secrets”) – 6 min
13. Atom Heart Mother (the longest known version) – 32.5 min
14. Atom Heart Mother Reprise – 5 min
Hall and Oates, compilation.
Hall’s old mate Robert Fripp said that Daryl’s voice is a “thing of wonder”. Not wrong imho.
She was brilliant with Jeff Beck.
Hmm, still waiting for my copy to be delivered, the Royal Mail estimate Monday, looking forward to having a listen tomorrow night.
Madonna, ray of light. Just read in the news about the passing of Madonna’s step mother and brother. RIP.
