Albatross is right in Gilly's wheelhouse

hoping for a Gilmour solo pedal steel LP on VDSQ

ok, check this shit out, to entertain myself i've been going through reading about every obscure tv show i can think of and i just ran across this show called "the tyrant king", a children's tv show that had as its soundtrack every psychedelic rock record in existence in 1968

even more weirdly the entire series apparently still exists

wow!

Wow at Tyrant King!

On PBS they're showing the '89 "Night of Wonders" Venice show, and there's tons of hired hands and no Rog and a lot of Momentary Lapse and Gilmour was already tipping into old dude at Guitar Center territory, but still...

PINK FLOYD RULES!

At 0330Z (20 minutes from now), I'm putting on 22 Sept 1972 at the Hollywood Bowl. Join in!

Would have joined you had I not been asleep. I still peek at Yeeshkul every couple of weeks to see if anything cool pops up.

The Winterland concert two days later is also pretty good iirc

Pulse live set currently streaming

one day i'll learn to shut the fuck up about pink floyd

until then please enjoy this overlong blog post about fucking "dark side of the moon"

https://weirdthingsonbetamax.blogspot.com/2020/04/boomer-to-doomer-rewriting-dark-side-of.html

I started reading that but was distracted by the Richard Brautigan post. My dad, who was not a hippie at all, more of a late 50s Car Guy (his favorite song of all time was "The Ten Commandments of Love" by the Moonglows), was a big Brautigan fan for some reason and had at least a half dozen of his books in the house when I was growing up, and since they were short(ish) and were written in simple sentences I devoured them at way too young an age. I remember Willard and His Bowling Trophies, The Hawkline Monster, In Watermelon Sugar, The Tokyo-Montana Express and The Abortion, and there were probably more. So thanks for writing that - I found it very interesting in a nostalgic sort of way.

glad you liked it! the brautigan post was inspired by a discussion on the trout mask replica thread, actually

one day i'll learn to shut the fuck up about pink floyd

Don't.

PINK FLOYD RULES

aww thanks y'all

kate your post RULES

Yah - that was a great read - thanks Kate.

You know how you know that's a good piece about Dark Side of the Moon?

Because it makes me want to listen to Dark Side of the Moon yet again.

Cheers.

Great read Kate and, as noted above, it made me want to play the album for the first time in years.

Also thought this thread bump might have been for the brief 24-hour window of Live at Pompeii being up on YouTube. So good. Still holds up.

wonder which version it was

My understanding is that it was the 2016 mix they included in The Early Years box, but I'm not 100% certain. The only things I know about this version is what they say on wikipedia about it:

"This version of Live at Pompeii is notable for excluding "Mademoiselle Nobs", an instrumental version of the song "Seamus" found on the original film and the 2003 DVD, and for bridging "Echoes" which was originally performed in two parts for the film."

I dug into this on someone's facebook post:

"My understanding is there was the original movie, which is basically just the live footage. Then there was a version which added some awesome interview bits and studio bits (roger twiddling an EMS Synthi) which is pre-Dark Side but I think was faked, as in that stuff had already been recorded? Then when the DVD came out the director added a bunch of totally unnecessary and not at all era-appropriate stock-footage of space and whatnot. The DVD allowed you to watch it with the interviews (good) and stock footage (bad) or just the original concert film. It looks like this version includes the stock footage."

It's the stock footage version and there's also some really rubbish computer-generated fly though scenes of Pompeii as well, bah.

yup. I just want the version I had on my old VHS. The original concert film with the pre-dark side studio and interview bits spliced in, no added graphics that look like they came from an amiga video toaster please.

Don't miss Nobs though, it's rubbish, Waters playing 'blues' guitar, hacking away like a 6 year old, no thanks, cute hound though.

I feel like this version is fine, the footage only gets really obnoxious when you get to "Echoes", iirc. The footage of them playing is so great though, Roger and the gong is all time.

maben is, i would say a... frustrating director.

the version i first saw and grew to love is the vhs version with the bits from the recording of dsotm (which i don't think were "faked"? maben might "fake" nick mason ordering pie at the studio cafeteria, because that's just how he is, but why would the band go along with it?)

The scorchingly passive-aggressive exchange between Waters and Gilmour about his 'toppy' guitar sound at the end of M Nobs don't feel faked.

dave's top's off guitar solo in echoes is a highpoint of life

pink floyd rules

can't believe they put something like "on the run" on a record, that rules

lmao i don't think i've ever listened to dark side of the moon stoned before

mr veg has made an edit in our shared music so that Brain Damage & Eclipse now plays as one complete track <3

when we were first married we did whip-its & watched Dark Side of The Wizard of Oz
LOL

but since then i cant hear the opening of “Time” without seeing Dorothy’s house & feeling like i am at the bottom of a very deep well

I heard... "On the Run"... by itself... on a local AM station recently.

Little weird, but it RULED.

seeing youtubers' reactions to hearing Pink Floyd for 1st time gave me new appreciated for them.
they fucking rule.

*appreciation

"have a cigar," that's a fuckin good song

Hell yeah, it rules.

i've been listening to Animals a bunch all week, probably the 70s era album of theirs i'm least familiar with.

IT RULES

ME TOO AND I AGREE
