Wendy Bannister, wife of the
legendary concert promotor Freddy Bannister, has contacted us with
details of another box set offer that they have put together especially
for Brain Damage, which takes a retrospective look at the concerts they
promoted with the likes of Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin playing.

PINK FLOYD AND OTHERS AT BATH
FESTIVAL, FEATURED IN BOX SET |
This set looks at the 1969 and
1970 Bath Festivals, and the 1971 Lincoln Festival. It also looks, via
the book included, at a whole range of Bannister-promoted concerts in
the late sixties and early seventies. Pink Floyd performed at the 1970
Bath Festival, playing Atom Heart Mother with a full orchestra.
Here's what the limited edition of 200, signed and numbered by Freddy Bannister, commemorative box set includes:
- The tickets, handbills and
programmes from the following festivals (the original programmes,
handbills and tickets are now almost impossible to locate and would
cost in total over £1,000 - if you could find them):
- 1969 Bath featuring Led Zeppelin, John Mayall and Pete Green
- 1970 Bath featuring Pink Floyd
(where they premiered Atom Heart Mother), Led Zeppelin, Jefferson
Airplane, Santana, Steppenwolf, Johnny Winter, Frank Zappa, The Byrds,
Canned Heat, Fairport Convention, Country Joe, Hot Tuna and John Mayall
with Pete Green
- 1971 Lincoln Festival with James Taylor and The Byrds
- A 330 page hardback book by
Freddy Bannister all about promoting in the sixties and his first ever
gigs with Pink Floyd at various small halls in England
- An album of 28 photos of the festivals, mainly backstage at 1970 Bath
- A handbill from The Pavilion, Bath 1963 advertising The Beatles forthcoming appearance
- And as a special gift the following 6 CDs and a DVD:

Pink Floyd live at the BBC, including Green Is The Colour, Careful With
That Axe Eugene, A Saucerful Of Secrets, Set The Controls For The Heart

Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee which ends with them performing in the
back of their limo on the way to the 1971 Lincoln festival. It also
includes various BBC interviews with the performers from this festival
plus some great crowd shots etc. (very rare - they have only just
discovered it - even the BBC no longer have a copy)
The cost of the set is normally
£75, plus £7.50 in the UK and £20 to the States, and is on their
website at this price, but especially for Brain Damage visitors, this
is reduced by £10 to £65 - a good saving, and you also get a selection
of CDs and a DVD that come with this special Brain Damage edition. To
