Grantchester Meadows is a Roger Waters song,
originally performed solo on the 'Ummagumma' album, that celebrates the English
countryside, as in other compositions such as 'Time'. This special group
performance, taped for the BBC, with acoustic guitars and vocals from Roger
Waters and David Gilmour, plus additional piano from Richard Wright and taped
songbirds, successfully evokes a summer’s day in Grantchester, a small village
close to Cambridge, England. Grantchester’s famous former residents include the
Edwardian poet Rupert Brooke, who moved there and subsequently wrote a poem of
homesickness entitled 'The Old Vicarage, Grantchester'. Taken from 'The Early Years 1965 – 1972'.
