Wendy Bannister, wife of the
legendary concert promotor Freddy Bannister, has contacted us with
details of another box set that they have put together especially for
Pink Floyd fans - and they've given us one to give away to one lucky
Brain Damage visitor!
Because so many Pink Floyd fans
asked them whether it was possible to have a set that includes both the
Floyd 1970 Bath Festival CDs and the Floyd's 1975 Knebworth CDs, they
have brought out a set that combines both festivals. These sets are
individually number, and hand signed by Freddy Bannister.
The older
sets have already proved good investments for some - one of the
Knebworth sets bought after seeing it mentioned on our site was sold
for double the price paid, a couple of months later!
UPDATE: Wendy has told us
that the set now includes a copy of the 27 minute long DVD of Pink
Floyd performing Atom Heart Mother at the 1970 Bath Festival. She notes
that "although a little grainy it is very viewable and the sound is
very good." For those frustrated by the tiny, unwatchable clips in the
Classic Rock productions DVD that came out last year, this DVD sounds
ideal. The prize winner and anyone ordering the set will get one of
these.
The combined Bath and Knebworth set, priced at £59.99 (plus shipping) includes the following:
- The programmes, flyers and tickets from the following festivals:
1970 Bath Festival
1975 Knebworth Festival
- A handbill advertising Pink Floyd's appearance at Malvern in 1967
- 12 photographs from the 1975 Knebworth festival
- A 330 page book on the backstage stories and problems promoting a decade of festivals
- 6 CDs and 2 DVDs, which they give as a gift with the set and includes the following:
- 1 x 75 mins CD of Pink Floyd live at Bath, including their premiere
of Atom Heart Mother with full choir. Before the Bath Festival it was
known as The Amazing Pudding
- An improved re-mastered 1975 Pink Floyd Knebworth 2 CD set
- And a choice of three CDs from the following:
- A 3 CD set live from the 1970 Bath Festival with Pink Floyd, Led
Zeppelin, Johnny Winter, Jefferson Airplane, Frank Zappa, Steppenwolf,
Santana, The Byrds, Canned Heat, John Mayall, Donovan, Hot Tuna,
Country Joe
- 1975 Steve Miller 1CD
- 1975 Captain Beefheart. 1CD
- 1975 Roy Harper 1 CD
- 1978 Genesis 2CDs
- A 50 mins DVD of various Knebworth festivals between 1974 –
1979, including Genesis with interviews and the sound check, The
Rolling Stones, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Led Zeppelin
- A DVD from Lincoln 1971 with Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee sitting
in the back of the limo on the way to Lincoln being interviewed by the
BBC and finishing off by giving an impromptu concert. Also on the DVD
James Taylor, Tom Paxton, etc. This DVD is very rare - the BBC have not
kept a copy.
