PINK FLOYD

Pretty sure that the version of "Raving and Drooling" that's on the TOTAL ECLIPSE ur-boot from 1994(?) is taken from the Oakland show. That whole collection is pretty essential.

Nitpick: The TOTAL ECLIPSE "Raving and Drooling" is from France, 1974.

The Oakland 1977 show is indeed a Big Deal among traders. In 1984 I bought a cassette copy of it from a Costa Mesa punker who dealt bootlegs out of his apartment. Apparently the bootlegs were only a side racket to his main dealing business: moving as much weed to the local hesher/beach dude population as possible. Think I contacted him either through Flipside, or a note on the Music Mart bulletin board.

Forgive me for talking like a Deadhead, but what's great about Oakland 1977 is that it's one of the few times where you have a great recording... a great setlist... and a happy band. There's a lot of audio firepower on stage during that tour but many of those shows don't connect because the band is more interested in being miserable. I don't think anything from 1977 is on TOTAL ECLIPSE except for maybe the spit? Anyway, Oakland is the one exception - PF really kicking it at a big stadium rock act and having a great time. Gilmour and Waters laughing at each other in "Have A Cigar." Wright's great Moog solo in "Careful With That Axe..." I wouldn't disagree that it's one of the best performances of their career, but having a well recorded bootleg of it certainly helps.

Years later, Ned moved into the same apartment complex where the dealer was. Local magnetic anomaly?

The definitive version of Oakland 1977 is called ANIMAL INSTINCTS, or in PF ROIO speak: "Pink Floyd 1977-05-09 Animal Instincts rev B (HRV-CDR-014)". Here's a Yeeshkul link

Had that poster up in my high school dorm room

<3 u for dropping floydhead knowledge Elvis

Elvis Telecom RULES

Downloaded this show on dime a while back and can't really see what all the fuss is about, the recording sounds pretty muddy to my ears. Sure, it's better sound quality than most PF live boots of the period but it's a slog to listen to. Great performance though, no argument about that.

I happily stand corrected.

Surprised to see today that the naked women with Floyd covers on their backs wall hanging was going for €99 locally. Looked like it was painted or printed on wood of some kind. Surprised to think that there was money around for people to be spending that kind of money on a wall decoration in the local cd shop. Thought we were in the middle of a recession.
So wondering if taht was the cd shop being ambitious or if there really were sales in that area happening with some frequency.

naked women with Floyd covers on their backs rule though

in my class on Tuesday there were two students (undergrads) wearing Floyd tshirts. I called them out and then said

PINK FLOYD RULES

with the professorial air of authority

did you allow them to eat their pudding

did you flay them into shape

I left those kids alone

THE BODY is finally getting a DVD release

Everyone ITT has listened to this Syd-era Floyd tribute concert (with a second set full of solo Syd) by Robyn Hitchcock and friends, right?

Sweet, thanks Jon!

Glad they played Reaction in G. Been waiting for Roger to use that as an encore to the Wall.

Well, they didn't actually know what Reaction in G sounded like, so they just made something up and called it that! (Not sure why not... there's certainly enough boots of the tune...)

There is a nice '75 show on D1me right now. San Diego Sports Arena, remastered from a vinyl rip 'California Soundboard'.

maybe I'm not a good floyd fan, but cover your dorm in pink just says "wallogina" to me.

haha yeahhhh.
i find that dorm depressing in almost every way.

Like any college freshman needs to be taught to decorate their dorm room with floydaphenilia.

yea totally

i'd still smoke a bowl once or twice though with whoever lives there. probably not more than once or twice though

also tbh i had a dark side poster in my college dorm room

and a bob marley poster

and a beatles poster

and a bob dylan poster

and a radiohead poster

but my room was way cooler than that dude's

was gonna say, this must be under the bed in the photo

Haven't seen anybody mentioning it so far but there is a stack of to me peak period Floyd appearing on
Trader's den at the moment. All the early years up to about '72 plus some other stuff I'm less interested in.

Can't ever remember seeing a photo of Wright impressively moustachioed like that before. Bearded yes, moustache only no.

reminds me of HOOM

They all look a bit waxy and weird, maybe tinkered with in Photoshop or similar. It's also kinda strange seeing them with very clean hair :)

Wow, I love that Relics ad, with the alternate cover too!
