The Man and The Journey Tour


The Man and The Journey tour was an informal concert tour of a few dates by Pink Floyd during which the conceptual music piece The Man and The Journey was played.

Setlist

At most shows Pink Floyd performed The Man and The Journey, however at some shows this was not performed - these shows had a shorter set which usually included "Astronomy Domine", "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" and unaltered versions of "Careful with That Axe, Eugene" and "A Saucerful of Secrets" as heard on Ummagumma. At concerts in Europe in early 1970, "The Man" section of The Man and the Journey was still performed, but "The Journey" section was not.
