Thank you. This is a very nice reminder. I was 15 at the time and completely enthralled. I have a very specific memory of watching things on TV and this specific connection, with Pink Floyd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2HHT7txFQ0

David Gilmour of Pink Floyd was recently asked by The Guardian what he was doing 40 years ago during Apollo 11s flight to the Moon. Mr. Gilmour explained that the band was part of the BBCs live coverage of the event:

We were in a BBC TV studio jamming to the landing. It was a live broadcast, and there was a panel of scientists on one side of the studio, with us on the other. I was 23.

The programming was a little looser in those days, and if a producer of a late-night programme felt like it, they would do something a bit off the wall. Funnily enough Ive never really heard it since, but it is on YouTube. They were broadcasting the moon landing and they thought that to provide a bit of a break they would show us jamming. It was only about five minutes long. The song was called Moonhead its a nice, atmospheric, spacey 12-bar blues.
