Pink Floyd
Mont de L'Enclus, Amougies, Belgium
'Amougies Pop & Jazz Festival'
25th Oct 1969

The Actuel Festival was held at Mont de I'Enclus in Amougies, Belgium. It was going to be the first ever rock festival in France, but the promoters couldn't get a licence, so they tried another place in France and then finally ended up in Belgium. Pink Floyd played a couple of songs Set the Controls and Green is the Colour / Careful with that axe Eugene. They also played Interstellar Overdrive, but I have not got a recording of that yet.

In Society Pages USA #2, Zappa stated unequivocally that he did not play onstage with Pink Floyd. Then two issues later, they turned up a photo of the jam, showing FZ ca. 1969 onstage with a guy who is identifiably Nick Mason and another guy with a P-Bass whose face isn't visible but whose hunched posture is that of Roger Waters.

The recording I got of this was very clear but quite hissy, so I have de-hissed it, making it a lot more clearer sound and a pleasure to listen to.

Track Details:

1. Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun (11.09)
2. Green is the Colour (4.15)
3. Careful With That Axe Eugene (9.30)
