PINK FLOYD

The Wall is at least "Bob Ezrin's Roger Waters Experience"

Today I skipped doing work and spent the past two hours researching the lyric changes in "Fat Old Sun" because the version that's on the Nippon Connection bootleg from Trademark Of Quality:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gwUa6qkqF0

is clearly not from the 1971-09-30 Paris Theatre, London show that was broadcasted on the BBC even though every bootleg guide says it is.

1971 Paris Theatre for comparison

gotta be honest aside from bbc '70 "fat old sun" sounds the exact goddamn same to me every time

also complicating things is that the recording is crackly, generated, and at the wrong speed

i do agree with you that it's obviously not paris theatre, but only because the applause at the end sounds different

for what it's worth my favorite version of the song is the montreux soundboard from 1970-11-21

Just received this, haven't listened to it yet:

i like sunflo'er but i don't like "bring the boys back home", i mean i guess it's better than another dark side of the moon cover but seriously the songwriting on this one is pretty weak, it coasts on ezrin's production

this might be interesting tho

'Vera' / 'Bring the Boys Back Home' is the weakest part of The Wall, IMO. I mean, I get that they only exist to serve the "plot" of the record, and thankfully they're both quite short, but that section of the record stands out to me in the worst way. As for 'Stop', there's really no need for that to be a track in its own right and should have really been merely an intro to 'The Trial', but I guess more songs = more publishing.

The Soft machine; The Pink Floyd

I often hear 'Les Pink Floyd' in France, whether they've heard of Syd or not.

Listen to the BBC In Concert recordings, they're always described as the Pink Floyd.

The Pink Floyd, the Soft Machine... the Cream!

TEAR DOWN THE WALL

XP The Who's FB shared a vintage club poster recently that showed their engagement at the venue bracketed by other dates by "The Taste" and "The Free" (but not "The Yes", who were opening for The Who).

I knew someone who was at that Who show at the Marquee (December ‘68). He said that when Moon went into the double-bass-drum rolls in the midsection of “Shakin’ All Over,” the whole audience suddenly took two steps back from the stage, then exchanged “what the fuck was THAT?!” glances. He said Moon’s bass drums felt like someone was stomping on his chest full-force. (And the drums weren’t miked.)

Did we do a Moon v Bonham poll?

someone convince me to like Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking beyond the first two songs.

It's great! I like the last three songs the best. The title track carries on at a fair old clip with ace guitar from Clapton, swiftly followed by "Every Stranger's Eyes" which is one of the most beautiful and affecting songs Waters has ever written.

ok I'll give it some more shots. for whatever reason my interest drops off after the first few songs and always has. ditto Amused to Death which loads of people seem to think is one of the best things he ever made but I find dull as fuck. I liked the one last year though.

The final places?

How should I complete the Wall?

Even more appropriate if it's actually about Miller Lite.

now, now, now is the time, time, time, to be, be, be beer aware

Was sending this to a friend so thought I'd share, it's a best of '77 tour boot that someone put together, quality is pretty great overall, some of those American gigs came out so well, even with the firecrackers.

https://we.tl/t-xx1pC62JVJ

interesting enough but tends to confirm my previously held beliefs: the '77 tapes really boil down to oakland may 9, the final show from quebec, and the second set from nyc. nice to hear the "doctor who" quote moved from "one of these days" to "sheep", though.

this week i've been boggling at the amounts of money people pay on discogs for the "pink floid" point me at the sky single

PINK FLOID RUHLS

thanks for the best of 77 tour boot! i've never really dug into that stuff ... even though I know it rules.

rushomancy nailed the go-to boots pretty much if you wanna explore further.

did you say gohill's boots?

There’s a restaurant in DTSM that plays music out onto their sidewalk 24hr a day even if closed. Occasionally something like this happens. pic.twitter.com/lYYLD34ZcZ

it's such a weird record, like it really stands apart on its own, it just seems outside of the arc of their career in a way
