I wonder if in light of the Lewisohn 'Tune In' Fabs triple-book series anyone is attempting something similar with the Floyd, Queen, Stones etc?

I really enjoyed the Mark Blake book, can't imagine wanting to read another one tbh.

This is the best PF book I've read, but it stops at 1973 -

John Cavanagh's 33 1/3 book on The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is a good one too.

Nick Mason has already spent five years inside a maximum security prison when an offer comes that will grant his release twenty years early. He accepts -- but the deal comes with a terrible price.
Now, back on the streets, Nick Mason has a new house, a new car, money to burn, and a beautiful roommate. He’s returned to society, but he's still a prisoner. Whenever his cell phone rings, day or night, Nick must answer it and follow whatever order he is given. It’s the deal he made with Darius Cole, a criminal mastermind serving a double-life term who runs an empire from his prison cell.
Forced to commit increasingly more dangerous crimes, hunted by the relentless detective who put him behind bars, and desperate to go straight and rebuild his life with his daughter and ex-wife, Nick will ultimately have to risk everything -- his family, his sanity, and even his life -- to finally break free.

Rick Wright has already spent five years behind the wall when an offer comes that will grant his release--Roger fires him. But the deal comes with a terrible price. He still has to do the tour.

We had so much fun at the gig on Saturday that we went again on Sunday... we found tickets on StubHub for $28. Totally worth it.

I wonder if the first time Mason rehearsed 'Remember A Day' with SoS is the first time he actually played the song at all.
― MaresNest, Thursday, 21 March 2019 17:22 (seven years ago)
one of my favorites and love love that Gilmour did it on Jools Holland weeks after Wright's passing, with Phil Manzanera.

Hearing AHM cut in here was spectacular. Several of the older freaks in the audience who were dancing in their seats (so to speak) completely lost their minds...

After spamming the thread and rewatching all these again I'm reminded a lot of that Damned (oh yeah, that Mason connection) album where they transform into Nazz Nomad & The Nightmares and cover a bunch of garage rock songs, but really any time new wavers go 1968. Odd but pleasant to hear these without Waters' clunky bass. The songs/sound rules so much when something like "Obscured By Ciouds" is coming at you at full volume that you don't realize that what feels like a 20 minute power drone is coming in at a tidy 6:14.
― Elvis Telecom, Saturday, 23 March 2019 11:09 (seven years ago)
wait they're doing Obscured by Clouds? shit why have I been ignoring this?

Pretty fun. Was stuck sitting in front of some drunk stoned chatty assholes who wouldn't shut up. They were also really pissed because Roger didn't show up, after his surprise last night people expected it. I was fine without him.
