It seems some songs from different bands playing at this concert were broadcast in excellent sound quality on the radio at the time. The first three songs, which make up the bulk of the music, comes from the bootleg of a performance at an international rock festival in Rome, Italy, in May 1968. By chance, all the songs here were recorded on the European continent, even though most of the shows the band did that year were in Britain or the US, so I've called this album "Live in Europe 1968."

They'd had great success in 1967, but most of that was due to their lead singer and chief songwriter Syd Barrett, who flamed out and left the band near the end of the year.
