PINK FLOYD

"Big man, pig man, ha ha asshole you are"

the 65 tracks are pretty interesting, I suppose there is hope then that we'll get actual released versions of Scream Thy Last Scream and Vegetable Man in 2017.

if only waters' wife had said: ‘I just want "Scream They Last Scream" and "Vegetable Man", that’s all!!!’

tho i guess that if anything will get Waters diggin' through the archives for new product, it's a multi-million dollar divorce.

I think its almost definite, unless the copyright law changes again.

Just got this PR email:

We feel privileged to be working with the family and estate managers of Syd Barrett to mark what would have been his 70th birthday tomorrow.

The family of the iconic musician who died ten years ago will be unveiling a new official website at 12 noon on Wednesday 6th January, offering a wealth of previously unseen family photographs documenting Syd from early childhood until the early 1980s. There are plans to reveal more unseen material at regular intervals throughout the year, as well as publishing a range of articles about Syd and his music from celebrity guest writers.

The original site is still live. The new site will occupy the same web address from noon tomorrow.

www.sydbarrett.com

mmm.

Looks no different.

"Unprecedented Demand for New Syd Barrett Photos Crashes Website"
Just a quick note to say thank you on behalf of Syd Barrett's family. They're absolutely delighted with the coverage they've received for the website launched to celebrate what would have been Syd's 70th birthday.

The response from fans all over the world has been so huge that the server hasn't been able to cope with demand. The tech team are currently transferring the site onto an alternate server and we're hoping that normal service will be resumed this afternoon.

also of note
Cambridge Live has announced that it plans to commemorate the life of Pink Floyd founding member Syd Barrett with a piece of public art that will be displayed at the Cambridge Corn Exchange, the location of his final ever live concerts.

the art is amazing, so nice to see this up

"I said, ITS A SHAME SHE WONT STAND UP FOR THE MIDDLE CLASS."

"Well, LISTEN, PAL, I CAN'T STAND IT EITHER, BUT THATS MY WIFE AND ITS HARDLY LITTLE."

"...Wait, what?"

Bless Rog and his big horsey head

oh shiii

Forty-five years after Pink Floyd played a historic show in Pompeii, Italy, that was captured on one of rock’s greatest concert movies, David Gilmour – the band’s guitarist and singer – will return for a pair of shows there this summer.

Pompeii Culture Minister Dario Franceschini (via Consequence of Sound) announced the concerts on Twitter today. The dates (July 7 and 8 at the Pompeii Amphitheatre) are part of Gilmour’s current tour, which started last year.

Pink Floyd famously shot Live at Pompeii in October 1971 without an audience. But they stuck to their touring set list of the time, which included epic versions of concert favorites “Echoes,” “One of These Days” and “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun.” (The movie played in theaters the following year.)

Gilmour released his latest solo album, Rattle That Lock, last year – his first since he announced that Pink Floyd were over. In 2014, the band put out The Endless River, an LP made up of session outtakes from 1994’s The Division Bell. The album was completed as a tribute of sorts to keyboardist Richard Wright, who died in 2008.

I know this is the PINK FLOYD RULES thread and not the Art Linkletter thread, BUT

The kids and I are in the car, talking about planetariums. I bring up Pink Floyd, and how they're good for laser shows because they've got stuff like airport terminal sounds with a steady beat. Talking up their theatrical edge, I mention Pompeii and even The Wall shows. "It was about a man who was feeling bad that he put up a wall where no one could talk to him anymore."

I mention the shows where as they're playing the stagehands build a wall between them and the audience so by the end, you couldn't see the band playing anymore - just this gigantic wall. "But at the end, for the finale, they tear the wall down, the pieces go everywhere and you can see the man singing again."

Six-year-old boy thinks for a moment from the backseat and then says, "You mean like the Kool-Aid Man?"

loooool

I heard the little classical bit that pops up right before "Wish You Were Here" starts while I was in a doctor's office the other day.

Haha.

Like, I've never seen King Lear on stage, but if I ever do, I'm going to have some uncanny deja vu when they get to the "Sit you down, Father. Rest you." part.

Gilmour was in town this week

That's "I am the Walrus", is it used by Pink Floyd as well?

He was referencing my post directly above it.

righto, ta.

Got a decent vinyl copy of the Faces' A Wink Is... that the prior owner saw fit to hide the two Dark Side posters inside of for $1.99 at Goodwill today.

RULES

that's a win-win inside of a wink #pinkfloydrules

Ah, that's like when I got the Sgt Pepper multicoloured inner sleeve in a Chubby Checker lp.
