PINK FLOYD

"I know all those words but that sign makes no sense!" -- Lisa referring to the Yahoo Serious Festival

i've been listening to a 1974 bootleg that smokes, w/ early versions of animals tracks + "crazy diamond" + full dark side + echoes! awesome. they sound kinda more raw/rocking here. not like the stooges or anything, but ...
Seems weird that the Floyd haven't put out a rad career-spanning live set or something.

ps pink floyd rules

name of bootleg, please?

tylerw otm

(and tyler, ps -- just checked your blog to see if you'd posted the floyd show . . . to answer your keef question, i think johnny depp's supposed to be reading the audio)

i think i am going to post the floyd bootleg soonish! it's manchester 1974 ...

thanks!

double thanks!

Tylerw, what is your blog address? Thanks in advance

Pink Floyd Rules?
I've actually felt better about Pink Floyd. After listening to a lot of their songs on radio, I've developed a liking to them. I still some of their songs are crap, but "comfertabally numb" "another brick in the wall, pt 1, 2, and 3", "Money", "Hey You" and other songs are very good. They're pretty good, let them pass.

My brother hates Pink Floyd, but a lot of my friends like them. Some user (Bart247) suggested once I listen to the Dark Side Of The Moon. All I've heard is Money, but that's a good song. I will put these guys on my "Master's Of Rock" series, and expect to see more episodes in the future.

I'd thought I'd post this up to tell you my changed opinions on Pink Floyd. Although they might not be the best band ever, they're one of the best. I have The Wall album already, but maybe I'll look forward to listening to them more.

i kind of dig that the division bell dudes have been incorporated into the floyd iconography. must make waters so mad.

I've been thinking the same thing. High hopes etc.

Didn't expect to see Bob Ezrin himself posting on /r/pinkfloyd
https://www.reddit.com/r/pinkfloyd/comments/16l5zlf/comment/k1c49pe/

he posted on the Hoffman boards before, responding to Steve talking bullshit about remastering Alice cooper

Instead of launching into the hits, Waters began reading off of his laptop passages from his yet-to-be-published memoir, Dark Side of the Moon: Memoirs of a Lanky Prick...

“One story involved a duck that came to live in the family home,” said Will Hodgkinson, music critic for The Times. “Another began promisingly as a memory of Floyd’s original leader, Syd Barrett, but revealed nothing more than that Barrett wrote a lot of songs and had an innocent air about him.”

According to The Daily Mail, the duck story lasted upwards of 20 minutes and segued into Waters reading errant notes about his other pets, once again from his laptop.

Don't know what everyone's complaining about. Sounds like the warm thrill of confusion to me.

The ducks have always been there Rog, you just chose not to see them

You can hear the ducks laughing at the end of "Bike".

damn, you're right, those are the literal ducks at the end of "bike" in that picture.

(photos are from the soundcheck at famous "Games For May" show at Queen Elizabeth Hall, May 12 1967 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Games_for_May )

I went to bed listening to Roger’s take on DSOM the other night. The spoken word open was oddly soothing.

It reminded me a bit of Iggy Pop's Free or the recent Marianne Faithfull/Warren Ellis album.

I didn't enjoy it very much though. That drum sound and that whole style of mixing so many 'rock' albums now doesn't sit well in my ears.

looking forward to animals 2 featuring plenty of pet stories

Was wondering if/when someone was going to take one for the team to listen to the DSOTM redux (or re-ducks? in Roger's case?), I have less than zero interest.

i just listened to "on the run" because i was curious what the hell he'd do to that and he's just talking about a dream he had over the top of it

Yeah in places it kind of reminded me in places of those cuts on Hitchhiking where he rolls around in bed with his lady kind of in and out of sleep.

…except now he’s in bed with Putin

Nearly all have the same setlist (Obscured By Clouds / When You’re In / Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun / Careful With That Axe, Eugene / Echoes / Dark Side Of The Moon / One Of These Days) with Childhood’s End instead of Set The Controls for the first three dates.

Kent State is just the Dark Side portion.

Rainbow shows are Dark Side followed by Obscured By Clouds and When You’re In

guessing these are all previously circulating audience tape bootlegs? anything worth getting EXCITED about?!

19 May 1973 at Earl's Court is a good one to have around, but I suspect that the Harvested version (released as Supine In The Sunshine with a catalog # HRV CDR 011) sounds better than whatever PF Inc. dumped on iTunes.

'73 always seems strangely ill-served when it comes to ROIOs, iirc there are only a couple of bangers

And it always makes me think of the wonderful Arthur Max's bad day, so let's have that again - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTUtmMONI-Q

Supine in the sunshine scans nicely with Insane in the membrane.

(Of course both scan OK with Girlfriend in a Coma. Supine in the sunshine I know, I know, it's serious.)

bugs the shit out of me that floyd didn't bother to tape any of their shows. basically no archive. there's a reason the dsotm show you always hear is the wembley fall '74 one - it's the only one from the waters years they have a fucking board tape of, as far as i know. there's basically _nothing_ but aud tapes from '72 to '77. that entire fucking stadium tour they did in '77, they didn't make one goddamn board tape of that entire tour. no video either. you want to see what the inflatable pig looked like in '77? hope you like 8mm footage!

i like aud tapes. some of those aud tapes are pretty good. it would be nice if they'd made _any_ board tapes at _all_ though.

That seems to be true of quite a few other rock artists of the era too.

According to Floyd roadie Chris Cockram (45m30s into this video) every show on the American leg of the 1977 tour was recorded (one tape for Gilmour, another for Waters) but the whereabouts of the tapes now is completely unknown.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15J5LneNja0

the whereabouts of the tapes now is completely unknown.

also very much in character for the era

Well, the Pompeii stuff is cool at least. And there was a whole double live album from the post-Roger era, right?

There's been a couple at least from that era.

getting really into Atom Heart Mother this week...what's generally regarded as I guess imperial phase Floyd I don't really groove as much with, I love Gilmour's soloing and I love Nick Mason but the overall vibe from Dark Side on, how does it change? I say that it changes. I like how there's still a goofy edge in the cosmic up to a certain point I guess, AHM has that, lovely late-night listening

I spent all of my teen years wearing out every decent bit of studio Floyd and never spent much of my adult years listening to them -- is there a guide or good reference point to all of the various live recordings/bootlegs/etc out there? RYM lists 829 bootlegs alone which is a bit overwhelming.

start with those BBC sessions linked above, for sure

imo start with The Man And The Journey (Amsterdam 1969), included in the Early Years box or search the RoIO of the same name.

oh ferfuxsake, so there's a whole stash the floyd equivalent of the betty boards out there somewhere?

no it's not! _somebody_ should have sold these tapes on the open market for drug money by now! this is pink fucking floyd we're talking about here!

as far as floyd boots just listen to the live stuff on the 1967-1972 set. for the early DSOTM sets '72-'73, ah, you know, there's no clear favorite. '73 sets have obscured by "clouds/when you're in". december '72 and early march '73 have "childhood's end". the piece evolved over its first year, with the first performances not having "eclipse" written yet. by the 2/17/1972 rainbow theater performance, "eclipse" was written but there are early, different versions of "on the run" and "great gig". 9/22/1972 is a decent representative late '72 gig. for '73, the robert wyatt tribute concerts on 11/4/1973 (i'm using US dating if it's not obvious) are worth hearing.

there's a complete official release of a '74 winter tour set from a board recording, about the only full concert from '72-'77 to have a complete recording from the board. for '77, go for the ones with the extra encores - may 9 and july 6. both great shows and good audience recordings. there's an official of the wall live, unless you're a hardcore fan that should do you. same thing for the official live recordings from the MLOR and TDB tours.

not that complicated, really. i do get into deep dives on the early stuff - relatively poor quality tapes with rare material like dec 22 1970 and feb 11 1970 - as well as things like the half hour embryo from nov 20 1971, and of course the infamous Pict Rants (ernst-merck halle 1970, saucerful april 3 1971, boeblingen nov 15 1972, and others). but that's more advanced shit. floyd weren't the dead. they weren't even zep. they weren't different every night.

FWIW, the live recordings I regularly listen to are:

1970-01-23 Theatre des Champs-Elysees, Paris, France [The Man Live In Paris]
1970-02-11 Town Hall, Birmingham
1970-04-22 Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY
1970-04-29 Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA (Westworld, Sigma 4)
1970-05-01 Santa Monica Civic, Santa Monica, CA
1970-11-22 Casino Montreux (Too Early For A Gig HRV CDR 037)
1973-05-19 Earl's Court, London [Supine In The Sunshine]
1974-11-15 Empire Pool, Wembley, England [Black Holes In The Sky]
1975-06-28 Ivor Wynne Stadium, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
1977-05-01 Tarrant County Convention Center, Fort Worth, Texas
1977-05-09 Oakland Coliseum [Animal Instincts]

I'm pretty sure all of them are on YouTube if you want to preview - all of them are definitely available on slsk in FLAC

port chester, huh, that's the only one of mine that wasn't really on my radar. i also like m-502 from 1971-02-25, santa monica 1970-10-23 (great "saucerful") and the plumpton version of "the journey" (1969-08-08).

all of this AI filtering shit... i've heard versions of "seabirds" that sound half-decent... has anyone tried removing the narration from the syd footage on "underground scene - it's so far out it's straight down"?

The Hipgnosis documentary is on Netflix (UK) now

Any time I've ever seen Storm Thorgeson interviewed he comes across as a total dick but that story about him on the Ween thread warmed me to him.

Luckily, Po is a much better interview and does the bulk of the talking.

A previously unreleased interview from December 1971 of Pink Floyd at Studio Europa Sonor in France, is now available in full on YouTube for the first time. Only a few edits had to be made, consisting of cutting out some of the Live at Pompeii footage due to copyright. Big thanks to Adrian Maben and Cinémathèque Française for this release! You can find the original 52 minute video here: https://www.cinematheque.fr/henri/film/121170-chit-chat-with-oysters-adrian-maben-2013/

Funny, we were just talking on the Robert Wyatt thread at how good the French were at documenting and archiving music in the 60s and 70s.

I'm obliged to mention that the new Syd Barrett doc can be found on slsk. Just search on "have you got it yet 1080p" and you'll be good.

I cannot locate this on slsk, bummer, perhaps it's been delisted.

It's still there. Try searching on different extensions "have you got it yet avi" or "have you got it yet mkv"

was just thinking of breaking out Floyd. tho they give me feelings and it's overwhelming lol.
