    So it's well documented that after Pink Floyd signed with EMI, they recorded "Piper at the Gates of Dawn" at Abbey Road's Studio 3 in London and at the same exact time in Studio 1 or 2 The Beatles were set to record Sgt. Pepper which most say was the strangest and most psychedelic album The Beatles ever made.

    So these guys obviously all hung out, how much Pink Floyd influence was on the Sgt Pepper album?

    I suspect it was the other way around, amigo.

    “We were recording in Abbey Road, the temple of greatness, and they were recording ‘Lovely Rita,’” recalls Mason in an interview the Wall Street Journal. “They were God-like figures to us. They all seemed extremely nice, but they were in a strata so far beyond us that they were out of our league.” -- Nick Mason

    Nevertheless fans make it happen . . .

    Even though The Beatles never really put out an album like that before?

    I've never been a huge Floyd fan but that was awesome. Too bad they weren't a regular part of the Beatles act.

    Nobody had put out an album like that before, including The Floyd. But the Beatles had come close before on Revolver, which was equally influential and had psychedelic songs way before Piper.

    It had been years since I even thought about Poco. It was almost like discovering great new music all over again. They were an offshoot ot Buffalo Springfield and one of the first Southern California Country Rock Bands
