do planetariums still do Laser Floyd etc.? Smoking a poorly rolled joint outside the Hayden Planetarium was a high school rite for me

Almost amusing myself thinking about an Uncle Floyd Laser Show, if not a Count Floyd Laser Show.

Don’t think so, but he was a very big fan of both SCTV and The Uncle Floyd Show.

I wasted a ton of time on this site during 7th grade lunch hours, anyone else?
The record that kickstarted my Floyd obsession around that time was actually a bootleg- sorry, RoIO- a cassette dub of this that I bought for $2 off a street bookseller.
Really miss that tape and wish I still had it! Even tho the tracklist is super weird and I have everything on it in way better quality.

that's pretty rad, ofc I'd leave off the post-Wall stuff personally but it's no surprise that radio promo was widely booted

Spent a huge amount of time on the RoIo database during the early internet age. Amazing to think we have Yeeshkull and deep threads dedicated to chasing down the genealogy of the known recordings, like people building their family trees but in reverse.

Apart from drugs, alcohol, and general exuberance, I can almost kinda see why the crowds were generally rowdy and unsettled on this tour, the whole stage presentation is weirdly menacing and unfriendly.

By coincidence, I listened to the "Later Years" single disc sampler today. Remixed or not, "Sorrow" still has all the apocalyptic gravitas of a Don Johnson outtake.

The film is totally cool but the soundtrack is not Pink Floyd. The rejected PF soundtrack was released on the Early Years box and it was probably the biggest surprise therein. Culminates in Syd's most atonal guitar abuse on record while Rick plays 'Old McDonald Had a Farm'. I was grinning ear to ear the first time I heard that. It's an uncharacteristically dry recording and you can really hear how they'd fit on a bill with AMM
― Adoration of the Mogwai (Deflatormouse), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 07:53 (three years ago) link
It's a long way short of AMM though! Syd and Rick acquit themselves reasonably well, especially Rick, but Roger Waters and Nick Mason are plainly not cut out for this improv malarkey.
― Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 14:49 (three years ago) link
That would be a ridiculously tall order tho, dontcha think?? It might be a kind of pop appropriation of AMM, I mean obviously it has nothing to do with the opacity of AMM, the blend of AMM. Quite the opposite, the bass sounds like it was plugged straight into the desk, the drums are right in your ear- and that's what's so surprising about it! There's no ambience, perfect separation. On an early pf recording! wtf??
Sure, Roger Waters couldn't improvise to save his life in those days, where it's called for he tends to fall back on stock phrases and recycled clicking noises. I swear he plays the same lick on nearly every track on PatGoD. Nick was at his best when he played it almost like he'd never seen a drum kit before.

hey does anyone here have a preferred link or links for articles/background on "Piper", aside from wikipedia?
― Überschadenfreude (sleeve), Friday, 5 February 2021 20:22 (three years ago) link
The best reference- although a bit outdated- is Random Precision by David Parker for detailed session info. Other than that, Julian Palacios's book which is apparently inspired by Jonathon Greene's 'Days in the Life', he talks to everyone in Syd's orbit and tries to put you in their time and place. Often successfully!
I didn't really care for the 33 1/3rd fwiw (barry cleveland? I don't remember)
Sorry this prob isn't hugely helpful as I believe you're looking for web resources.
