PINK FLOYD - THE MAN AND HIS JOURNEY
very rare unplayed yellow vinyl
The Man And The Journey is the name of a conceptual music piece performed at Pink Floyd live shows in 1969. It consists of several of their early songs coupled with material that would appear on More and Ummagumma, as well as unreleased songs. The material was incorporated into two album-length suites, The Man And The Journey. The concerts also included visual performance elements such as the sawing and construction of a table and consumption of afternoon tea onstage. The concept was first performed 4/14/69 at the Royal Festival Hall in a show billed as The Massed Gadgets Of Auximenes - More Furious Madness from Pink Floyd. A truncated version of the show was recorded 5/12/69 for the Top Gear radio programme. The 9/17 performance at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam is the most widely bootlegged of the shows on the tour because it was broadcast by radio station VPRO. An official live release of The Man And The Journey was considered, but abandoned due to overlap of material with Ummagumma. To most fans, the work is either entirely unknown or unrecognized as the genesis of Pink Floyd's "theme pieces". The band themselves have seldom made reference to it in later interviews. Yet the unique combination of quadraphonic sound effects, abstract program music, recursive themes — all of which can be traced to The Man And The Journey — were to be further developed in the band's most enduring music.
