Review of the show by International Times

Also performing were Hydrogen Jukebox, The Sun Trolley, Tales of Ollin and Soft Machine.


'The Pink Floyd played last week to the largest crowd UFO has ever held. At times queues stretched for yards up Tottenham Court Road, and twice the box office had to close because the floor was packed. The audience included Jimi Hendrix, Chas Chandler, Eric Burdon, Pete Townshend and members of the Yardbirds. Appeals by Suzy Creamcheese and Joe Boyd were made to the rather emotional crowd to prevent them taking any action against John Hopkins' imprisonment, until after his appeal has been heard. It is a pity that with all this happening the Pink Floyd had to play like bums. The Soft Machine also appeared briefly to perform a poem for John Hopkins. The Tales of Ollin dance group played for about 40 minutes and completely captured the audience imagination, also on the bill was the Hydrogen Jukebox.'
