The voice at the beginning is indeed that of Peter Jenner, reading planet and other celestial body names into what is supposed to sound like a static-plagued radio.ītw.probably the most interesting version is the October 17, 1970, Pepperland, San Rafael, CA recording of this, which features three power outage false starts and Roger chatting with the audience during their difficulties. Syd's original studio version is great, but I must say the live performances of it were more interesting, with Dave and Rick in particular improvising a bit. Oldpink from New Castle, InThis one is a fantastic old classic.Whatever the case, this is, IMO, the best song off of The Piper at the Gates of Dawn certainly a great song to listen to, especially while star gazing. ![]() Harry from South Bend, InI once heard this was the emergence of space rock.on every page i look at, he/she has added some interesting trivia. Louis, Moi think oldpink is secretly roger waters. i personally love syd and his lyrics, but who can deny that roger and david are also incredible? and patrick, of COURSE his solo stuff isnt that great, he was completely out of his mind by then! such a shame.wish he were here.
