BigO remembers him by featuring for the next few weeks some of the sterling music he introduced. It has always been the duty of DJs and music critics to spot trends and highlight talent that otherwise would be ignored. Peel was never a follower of fashion but always searching for music that spoke a different language from the conventional. Oct 13 is International John Peel Day. When John Peel was alive, he was more than a radio presenter. He championed music, music that wasn't fashionable or current. You could say he was interested in all kinds of music and probably felt that different music could appeal to different people. In memory of John Peel, who died October 25, 2004, here are two early Pink Floyd shows presented by Peel. On July 16, 1970, Pink Floyd performed at the Paris Cinema in London. As stated in the liner notes to The Floyd's Of London,' Peel, at the time, was something of a maverick. Bucking the Top-40 format, he was more interested in promoting almost anything that was not in the mainstream, and had been a huge admirer of the Pink Floyd.' (Quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Floyd_live_performances#The_.22Atom_Heart_Mother.22__era:) On 7 February 1970, the band began performing a then untitled instrumental piece, which would eventually become the title track to their next album Atom Heart Mother. At this point, it had no orchestra or choir accompaniment. This is the first time they performed a song live in an unfinished form as a work in progress, something they continued to do until 1975. The song officially debuted at the Bath Festival, Somerset England on 27 June 1970 under the title 'The Amazing Pudding' (later the name of a Pink Floyd fanzine) and for the first time with orchestra and choir accompaniment. Announced as 'The Atom Heart Mother' by legendary British broadcaster John Peel on his BBC Radio 1 show 'Peel's Sunday Concert' on 16 July 1970, a name suggested by him to the band, it was also announced as 'The Atomic Heart Mother' two days later at the Hyde Park free concert. Partly due to the difficulties of finding and hiring local orchestras and choirs, the band often played what is referred to as the 'small band' version of the song when they performed it live. The Floyd also appeared at a Free festival In Canterbury on August 31st which was filmed. This was the end leg of the Medicine Ball Caravan tour organised by Warner Brothers , which was later made into a film of the same name . It appears that the Pink Floyd footage was not included in the movie but spectators report that Atom Heart Mother was part of the set that was recorded. The audience must have been one of the smallest to see Floyd at this era, only 1500 were present as the festival was not widely promoted. (Quote from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Floyd_live_performances#Early_performances_of_.22Echoes.22:) January 1971 saw the band working on a track in the studio of then unconnected parts whose working title was either 'Nothing - Parts 1 to 24' or 'Nothing Parts 1-36'. This song made its live debut under the working title 'Return of the Son of Nothing' on April 22, 1971 at Norwich, England and as 'Atom Heart Mother' before it, it was a work in progress. This was later to be released as 'Echoes' on the album Meddle. It contained additional lyrics and although none of the unofficial recordings of shows during this period are very clear, the lyrics are approximately: Planets singing face to face Bound to the air of life, how sweet! If purposely we might embrace The perfect union deep in space Ever might this once relent And give us leave to shine as one Our two lights singing better Than one light can And in that longing to be one The parting suns shine as one I'll see you've got to travel on And on and on, around the sun Although announced as 'Echoes' on August 6, 1971 at Hakone, Japan, the song was still performed with the additional lyrics at later August gigs. The show on September 18, 1971 at Montreux Switzerland and subsequent shows do not have the additional lyrics.
