Sorry, I can't help much beyond the above. It was at the Perse School, Cambridge - in the main hall, probably about a week before the Feb. '72 Corn Exchange shows. I remember the poster/flyers around school but don't know who actually organized it or remember what the set list was etc. I was hoping I might jog someone else's memory on this - I was out the school gates in '75 and never looked back so I don't have any contacts from back then but I'll see what I can dig up . . .

FraKcman had some tapes, but he was so silly to give them to the PF management. They probably put them in a dungeon guarded by Polly the fire spitting dragon...

More of the same story, with a (very shortl) Syd Barrett introduction...
The set lasts an hour. Syd is introduced on stage after 30 minutes. He plays on 5 songs, 4 of which are blues numbers and there is one 9 minute jam (improvisation) which is fairly loose and free-form.

So that's where we are now. I must go back into the studio and produce something that I can send to all the performers (along with a contract) that sounds good enough to persuade them all to grant permissions for a release.
That was in 2005...
