This particular album by the Pink Floyd, the Piper of the Gates of Dawn,
has some very interesting sounds.
These gentlemen you're about to meet are on their first visit to the United States.
As a matter of fact, they've only been here less than a week, as [N] a matter of fact.
Would you greet them warmly, please?
The Pink Floyd.

Ladies

and gentlemen.
You know, pardon me, let me just sneak in here.
Sit tight.
I don't think I've done an interview without having chatted with any before,
Particularly with people who've come about eight or ten thousand miles.
You've only been here two days.
There is one question that comes immediately to mind.
When we go to visit your country, the fellows I know in our entertainment business,
Always say, English food is unusual.
What do you think of American food, having eaten here for two days?
Does it please you or displease you?
Well, all we've had really is two [Ab] cheeseburgers each, I think.
That's not a bad typical American dish.
Does it sit well or did you not like it?
It sat [N] quite well.
All right.
Fair enough.
You're very kind, I would say, if that's all you've had to eat so far.
How long do you plan to stay with us?
I think we're here for ten days or so.
Will you have an opportunity to see, let me jump over here for a second,
Other parts of the United States other than the West Coast?
We're going back to San Francisco and then we're going to New York.
I'll stop in the Heath Ashbury and see what happens there.
It's kind of an unusual spot.
Would you be kind [Em] enough to introduce yourself and the other guys?
I [N] haven't had a chance to meet everybody.
I'm Rick and that's Nick.
Nick up on drums, right?
Nick, thank you.
That's Sid, lead guitar.
Sid?
Roger, bass guitar.
Thank you, Roger.
Sid, did you write this?
Yeah.
I noticed on the album you wrote most of the songs.
Is that true?
Yeah, that's right.
Let me wish you gentlemen all very good luck.
I hope you enjoy your stay, get some sleep,
And get something other than cheeseburgers during your stay.
Thank you very much.
Nick, nice to see you.
