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.

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.

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

From a player's perspective, I dunno if this is really that huge a sacrifice (don't get me wrong -- he didn't have to do this for charity, and it's good that he is.) If you're a professional player who isn't doing huge international tours, 10 guitars is probably too many, and you don't really need many more than that even if you are one. My main instrument, which I adore, is getting too old and precious to take out when I can't have my eyes on it at all times; if it could be easily duplicated (and it can't be, not like a Strat) by folks who know what they're doing, I'd take that one out and not worry about loss or failure of the old one. And I don't have a million billion instruments or children worrying about me having too many guitars I don't play that their kids might knock over when they visit.

listened to that Leeds 1970 tape on the bus ride home yesterday — it ruled! i love the Floyd at this period ... just a bunch of slow lumbering build-ups to thunderous freakouts. guess you could really see some good shows if you were going to Leeds University in 1970.

leeds '70 is ok, but man the two months before that they were playing some _really_ crazy shit. i would've loved to have seen them in birmingham a couple weeks earlier doing "main theme" from "more", a 25 minute version of "the violence sequence", which was some themes from "zabriskie point" including "heart beat pig meat" and "us and them", "sysyphus", and brand new material like "atom heart mother" (which didn't even have a title yet)! wish there were more tapes from this era and what there was sounded better.

One of the reasons I love the Raconteurs is because their best moments ("Hands", "Sunday Driver", "Solute Your Solution") sound like Jack White wanted to form a Greta Van Fleet but just based on "The Gold it's in the...".
― Prefecture, Thursday, 31 January 2019 02:36 (five years ago) link
XP - It's a shame that Birmingham recording isn't a little better, although a lower generation recording was found and tweaked to listenability, I would have enjoyed it if they had kept a few more tracks from More and Ummagumma. The Narrow Way, for instance, never got a fair shot and it sounded great live, then they could have put stuff like ASoS, Set The Controls and Careful to bed a bit sooner.
― MaresNest, Thursday, 31 January 2019 11:46 (five years ago) link
So glad they ditched the drum solo in "Atom Heart Mother".
― Wee boats wobble but they don't fall down (Tom D.), Thursday, 31 January 2019 14:20 (five years ago) link
the idea that there was a pink floyd concert with _two_ nick mason drum solos in it does make me laugh a little
i don't know about putting asos and careful to bed sooner, though! those epic 20 minute plus versions of asos in '70 and early '71 are fantastic, i wouldn't want to lose them, and for my money careful didn't really hit its peak until fall of '72 when they were throwing in the pict rants. it even sounded great when they busted it out in '77!
set the controls never really took off for me in concert, though. i think this is down to nick mason, who was always limited in what he could do in terms of furious intensity.
