Rick Wright (Pink Floyd] : Mothers was a fantastic place to play. We played there quite a few times and it was the place we chose to record part of the album because it was such a nice place to play. The people who ran the club were really nice.

The only thing I remember about the evening was that everything went wrong, you know, with the mikes. We were recording on a four-track as well, trying to get the whole thing down. I remember it was a good gig, but to me the tapes were disappointing afterwards. There were a lot of technical faults on the tape.
