Reaction in G (live, 1967-09-25: BBC Top Gear, Playhouse Theatre, London, UK)
~ Recording by Pink Floyd
Annotation
Mostly DJ talking over it with someone replying to his joke. (Pete Drummond and John Peel)
DJ1 - "News is coming up in just 35 seconds time with Pat Dooley. But here's "Reaction to F sharp minor" by the Pink Floyd"
DJ2 - "Actually, it is "Reaction in G", which is about four miles outside Carlisle"
DJ1 - "I didn't know that. You'll have to tell the AA, my boy"
Sometimes this speech causes the credit to be "Carlisle Radio"
