This is the first concert the Pink Floyd held in Holland.
 
The Group arrived in Rotterdam on october, 12 and performed at OUDE-AHOY ALLEN an unforgettable concert, playing also two songs never officially issued.

The concert, nearly 45 minutes of pauseless music, is here entirely and faithfully reproduced.

The first song is the instrumental "REACTION IN G", composed at the beginning of '67 and played as an overture to every show; it is a rough and hard unissued song, and is followed by another instrumental tune, "POW R TOC H", which has been seldom played live.

Both songs have been composed by all four members of the group.

Then comes "AN OLD WOMAN WITH A CASKET", unissued too, written and sung by SYD BARRETT.

This song, better known as "SCREAM THY LAST SCREAM", is one of FLOYD favourites, in fact it has often been played live.

This song is doubtless the most catchy tune of the evening and it is characterized by SYD BARRETT solo guitar.

This valueable concert contains also the long performance (possibly the first of all) of the suite
"SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN", here sung by ROGER WATERS, who was replaced on bass by SYD BARRETT.

At the end is performed "INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE", and the four instruments music mixes up in an excited finale, cheered by ovations from the audience.

Dutch press reports about this performance were enthusiastic, in fact Holland became one of PINK FLOYD preferred destinations.
