Geesin showed Roger Waters an article in the Evening Standard with the headline “Atom Heart Mother Named,” about a woman with a nuclear-powered pacemaker and they had their album title. They finally settled on a title on July 27th, 1970, the date of a BBC radio broadcast with John Peel who needed to call it something. This Jperformance at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music isn’t the only live record of Pink Floyd playing their 1970 opus with a brass section and choir-they did this a few times-but it’s the first, when the suite was still apparently being called “Epic.”
When they were composing what was ultimately to be called the “Atom Heart Mother” suite with Ron Geesin, Pink Floyd had several working titles, among them “Epic,” “The Amazing Pudding” and David Gilmour’s preferred name, “Theme From an Imaginary Western.”
