It's nothing but the entire BBC performance in 1970. I do not know why they mistook the date, and they were so mysterious about that and about the place. In fact the only reference is in the title 'Live in London 1971' (wrong, it was 1970). The sound is great, comparable to an official release. In a certain way this is the case, because it's the first number of an encyclopaedia about '60-'70 artists Roio, called (traslating from Italian) 'Rock Dictionary, Myths of Yesterday and Today'. At the time it was possible buying it at any bookstall, and it was twice published, immediatly hard to find.
On the front cover a picture of four Floyd from Miles' photos in the middle seventies and 'Pink Floyd' and the title track in yellow, while at the bottom 'Il dizionario del Rock- miti di ieri e di oggi- Armando Curcio Editore'. The same text on the back, on a red background. Inner booklet: A boring panegyric about Pink Floyd in the early seventies, in Italian.

Live at Paris Theatre, London 16.09.1970Pink Floyd in concert this weekend. Recorded live at The Paris Theatre on September 16, 1970 for BBC Radio 1’s In Concert series. This concert comes just weeks before the release of their fifth studio album, Atom Heart Mother.
From their Wikipedia page:
Their fourth album, Ummagumma represented a departure from their previous work. Released as a double-LP on EMI’s Harvest label, the first two sides contained live performances recorded at Manchester College of Commerce and Mothers, a club in Birmingham. The second LP contained a single experimental contribution from each band member. Ummagumma received positive reviews upon its release, in November 1969. The album peaked at number 5, spending 21 weeks on the UK chart.
In October 1970, Pink Floyd released Atom Heart Mother. An early version premièred in France in January, but disagreements over the mix prompted the hiring of Ron Geesin to work out the sound problems. Geesin worked to improve the score, but with little creative input from the band, production was troublesome. Geesin eventually completed the project with the aid of John Alldis, who was the director of the choir hired to perform on the record. Norman Smith earned an executive producer credit, and the album marked his final official contribution to the band’s discography. Gilmour said it was “A neat way of saying that he didn’t … do anything”. Waters was critical of Atom Heart Mother, claiming that he would prefer if it were “thrown into the dustbin and never listened to by anyone ever again”. Gilmour was equally dismissive of the album and once described it as “a load of rubbish”, stating: “I think we were scraping the barrel a bit at that period”. Ironically, Pink Floyd’s first number 1 album, Atom Heart Mother was hugely successful in Britain, spending 18 weeks on the UK chart. It premièred at the Bath Festival on 27 June 1970.
Pink Floyd toured extensively across America and Europe in 1970. In 1971, Pink Floyd took second place in a reader’s poll, in Melody Maker, and for the first time were making a profit. Mason and Wright became fathers and bought homes in London while Gilmour, still single, moved to a 19th-century farm in Essex. Waters installed a home recording studio at his house in Islington in a converted toolshed at the back of his garden. In January 1971, upon their return from touring Atom Heart Mother, Pink Floyd began working on new material. Lacking a central theme, they attempted several unproductive experiments; engineer John Leckie described the sessions as often beginning in the afternoon and ending early the next morning, “during which time nothing would get [accomplished]. There was no record company contact whatsoever, except when their label manager would show up now and again with a couple of bottles of wine and a couple of joints”. The band spent long periods working on basic sounds, or a guitar riff. They also spent several days at Air Studios, attempting to create music using a variety of household objects, a project which would be revisited between The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here.
If you’ve come to Pink Floyd based on Dark Side Of The Moon, listening to the earlier material gives you a better idea of where they progressing musically; the high points as well as the low. And if you’re a fan, you have to hear all of it.
The Atom Heart Mother World Tour was an international concert tour by Pink Floyd. It commenced during September 1970 and ended during October 1971. It marked the first time the band visited countries such as Japan and Australia. Intended to promote their new album Atom Heart Mother, the band hired local orchestras and choirs on some dates to perform the title piece while performing it in a four-piece arrangement on other occasions.
Early in 1970, Pink Floyd performed at gigs a piece from the Zabriskie Point soundtrack referred to as "The Violent Sequence". This was the musical basis for "Us and Them", which would appear on The Dark Side of the Moon (1973). The song "Embryo" was also a part of the live repertoire around this time, but was never to appear on a studio album until the compilation album Picnic – A Breath of Fresh Air (1970) as a demo only, the release of which the band were displeased. This demo was again released on the Pink Floyd compilation Works (1983). The 2016 box set The Early Years 1965–1972 contains various live performances of "Embryo" as well as the previously released demo.
On 17 January 1970, the band began performing a then untitled instrumental piece, which would eventually become the title track to their next album Atom Heart Mother. At this point, it had no orchestra or choir accompaniment. This is the first time they performed a song live in an unfinished form as a work in progress, something they continued to do until 1975. The song officially debuted at the Bath Festival, Somerset England on 27 June 1970 under the title "The Amazing Pudding" and for the first time with orchestra and choir accompaniment.
Announced as "The Atom Heart Mother" by legendary British broadcaster John Peel on his BBC Radio 1 show Peel's Sunday Concert on 16 July 1970, a name suggested by him to the band,[1] it was also announced as "The Atomic Heart Mother" two days later at the Hyde Park free concert.[2] Partly due to the difficulties of finding and hiring local orchestras and choirs, the band often played what is referred to as the "small band" version of the song when they performed it live. Various live performances and a studio demo of "Atom Heart Mother" are included in the box set The Early Years 1965–1972 (2016).
Pink Floyd also appeared at a free festival in Canterbury on August 31, which was filmed. This was the end leg of the Medicine Ball Caravan tour organised by Warner Brothers, which was later made into a film of the same name. It appears that the Pink Floyd footage was not included in the movie but spectators report that Atom Heart Mother was part of the set that was recorded. The audience must have been one of the smallest to see Pink Floyd at this era, only 1500 were present as the festival was not widely promoted.
In contrast, over 500,000 people witnessed their show at Fête de L'Humanité, Paris on 12 September 1970, their largest crowd ever. Filmed by French TV, the show was never broadcast.
"Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" was performed at a few gigs in December 1970. "Breakfast" being made was part of the song. The first part of this lasted around four minutes. The second part of "breakfast" preparation was around a minute followed by a 3-minute tape of British DJ Jimmy Young. The song lasted a little over 24 minutes.
