But that's tomorrow? orrow? orrow? orrow? orrow? orrow? orrow?

I know, wrong band. But thanks for the heads up. Set the sky plus controls to record 6 Music! (That any better?)

Would love to hear what was broadcasted yesterday!

It starts at 11.19 if you are listening on BBC (sh)i(te)-Player.
Basically it was just Fat Old Sun and One Of These Days.
I've never heard that version of Fat Old Sun before so I really should pull finger out on listening to live stuff.
I thought we were going to get more songs as well.
Oh well, as least it's not being played as part of an Obiturary tribute night! And the positive of any Pink Floyd being played on a BBC radio station more than cancels out the negative of no Pink Floyd played on radio at all.

so was it from the sept 30 1971 BBC broadcast?
youda thunk this Fat Old Sun, along with the 1970 BBC Embryo would have gotten official release by now just because theyre so evolved from the relatively demo-ish studio versions
