An interview conducted during their Australian tour in 1971, broadcast as part of a segment on GTK**, the ABC's music show of the period. (ABC = Australian Broadcasting Commission, the state broadcaster). The segment also included some live footage and a clip for "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun". (see here on my channel also)

All contemporary members were present for the interview (from left to right): Nick Mason, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, David Gilmour. They speak of their history to date, their means of composition and collaboration, speak of their current album at that time, "Atom Heart Mother", and the upcoming release of their as-yet unnnamed album (which was to be "Meddle").

From a re-broadcast of the segment on Rage, (late-night music programme on ABC) in January 2008. (Wasn't that very good of them!)

** Additional information (thanks MiMaKBaSS):

"G.T.K. (Get To Know), was an oasis in what was the culural desert of rural Australia in the 70's.

Sadly I recently found that many episodes were erased, to reuse 'valuable' video cassette tape..."

on about 1:05 David is thinking what to answer, and someone from the group (I think it was Mason) whispers - yes - to help David!:D

they were too young and they weren't almost listening each other. It seems pink floyd was getting popular and they weren's ready at all. I guess Richard was the one who has musical knowledge and experience according to band, because of he was talking too much and cutting the other member's words.

I always thought they had advanced top of the line synths, but they really just used like they said a bass, guitar, organ, and drum set. They may have gotten better equipment later on, but obviously nothing as advanced as modern times. It's incredible how they pulled it off with so little.

My father isn't the greatest father. I raised myself with him in the background. The one, and possibly only, thing I thank him for is naming me after the great David Gilmour. For that, I thank you, father.

"Do you want to move into any theatrical field at all?" Everyone says yes, but Roger Waters looks to the floor... Very ironic! :)

Dave: "It will sound a bit as if it has a choir on it" Nick: "But it won't have" Lulz. They make me laugh. It reminds me of the Live in Pompeii interviews when they're winding up the director.
