Songfacts®:

  • This song features late Pink Floyd keyboardist Rick Wright playing the pipe organ of the Royal Albert Hall back in 1968. The tape was made as the band prepared for an appearance at the London venue. Guitarist David Gilmour explained: "On the afternoon before we did it, during the set-up, Rick asked could he have a go on this great big pipe organ that was built in."

    "So we set him up, set up a couple of mics up and recorded him playing, just jamming away on his own."
