Riff Raff was a legendary rock magazine based in London in the late 80s and 90s. A genuine working class rock mag, written and edited by "the lads" in a drug-N-Jack-D-fuelled haze, it was just too R n’R for its own good, falling behind more trainspotterly publications like Q, Kerrang, and Mojo. This website is an archive and kind of shrine to the writing of its greatest "hacks," most of whom have faded in embarrassing middle age, with at least one of them having a Smule account.
This performance is from Pink Floyd's concert at Earl's Court, London, on 18th May, 1973, in front of a sell-out audience of 18,000. An instrumental, apart from the whispered title and a great seagull impression from Roger Waters, the song was a regular part of Pink Floyd's live set from 1968 to 1973. The song also features on their 1972 film, Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii and accompanies a slow-motion destruction scene in Zabriskie Point, Michelangelo Antonioni's 1970 movie about student radicals.
