Details:

This is a more complete recording than the normal FM braodcast ROIO's of this show
and hence it is some 10 minutes longer and does not have the interruptions to the programme that the FM version has.

'The Man and the Journey' were one of Pink Floyd's early concept-shows performed the first time April 14, 1969 in Royal Festival Hall, London.

The event was titled 'The Massed Gadgets Of Auximenes - More Furious Madness From Pink Floyd'.

Both parts of the show contained of improvisations around different Floyd songs, many
of them closely related to the soundtrack from the film More, which was written at the same time.

A recording of the show was meant to be released, but cancelled because most of the material was already released in other versions.

'The Man and the Journey' is only available on bootleg-recordings.

One recording circulating is done by dutch radio VPRO in Amsterdam September 17, 1969.
