(Introduction to show, mood of Peel, interesting comments, etc. If possible, please add mentions of gigs attended, football matches, TV appearances, stories of past/current activities, etc, for use elsewhere on John Peel Wiki.)
Guest poet is Libby Houston - see Night Ride Poets for more information on her.
Another poem by Kenneth Patchen, whom Peel preferred to the better-known Beat Generation poets, and an excerpt from the Electric Prunes' album Mass In F Minor, on which they perfom a mass composed by David Axelrod. Wikipedia'a article on the LP explains its background ("a religious-based rock-opera concept album"[1]).
Full tracklisting with thanks to Tim Joseph.
