[4] Games for May was described as a "Space age relaxation for the climax of spring – electronic composition, colour and image projection, girls, and the Pink Floyd".
[3] The concert featured some of the band's early singles as well as material from their yet-to-be-released debut album – The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.
During the performance, some of the band members created sound effects by chopping up wood on stage,[5] a man dressed up as an admiral gave out daffodils,[2] and the bubbles produced from a machine while the show was in progress stained all the furniture in the hall.
[5] The Austrian-English composer Hans Keller made multiple references to Games For May while interviewing Pink Floyd for the BBC Show The Look Of The Week.
It was the first concert in Britain to feature both a complex light show and a four channel quadraphonic surround sound speaker system.
