Show Description for Saturday 03/06/2010

An early shot of Pink Floyd in their original heyday.  That's Syd Barrett up front, who was replaced by David Gilmour soon after this photo was taken.  We'll be hearing David and his chums within the space prog set that I have prepared for you all.  So turn on the lava lamps, fire up the black lights and light the incense, kick back and space out with Floyd, Yes and Oresund Space Collective.  I'll have some brand new Eloy...yes, they are back and stronger than ever.  Japan's Kenso, an early cut from PFM's first album, a classic Tull track and a piece from the new Gordon Giltrap and Rick Wakeman recording.  As always, contact me at the studio for requests, suggestions, comments or just to talk prog.  I can also be reached at: djmarkuss333@yahoo.com
