i've been listening to a 1974 bootleg that smokes, w/ early versions of animals tracks + "crazy diamond" + full dark side + echoes! awesome. they sound kinda more raw/rocking here. not like the stooges or anything, but ... Seems weird that the Floyd haven't put out a rad career-spanning live set or something.

[fuck this guy and his question mark]Pink Floyd Rules?I've actually felt better about Pink Floyd. After listening to a lot of their songs on radio, I've developed a liking to them. I still some of their songs are crap, but "comfertabally numb" "another brick in the wall, pt 1, 2, and 3", "Money", "Hey You" and other songs are very good. They're pretty good, let them pass.
My brother hates Pink Floyd, but a lot of my friends like them. Some user (Bart247) suggested once I listen to the Dark Side Of The Moon. All I've heard is Money, but that's a good song. I will put these guys on my "Master's Of Rock" series, and expect to see more episodes in the future.
I'd thought I'd post this up to tell you my changed opinions on Pink Floyd. Although they might not be the best band ever, they're one of the best. I have The Wall album already, but maybe I'll look forward to listening to them more.

It's part of PF lore that Rick Wright quotes a fragment of the vocal melody of See Emily Play right on the fade out of Shine On... I can kinda hear it but it has always sounded like a bit of a stretch to me, has anyone seen/read a confirmation that this was intentional?
It occurs at 12'12" and it's the 'Emily Tries, but misunderstands' bit, in case you don't already know.
― MaresNest, Friday, 3 August 2018 18:33 (three months ago) Permalink
Boy, I don't hear it. Between the saxophone and the guitar arpeggios that seem to be in both channels (?), all I'm hearing are keyboard chords in the middle.

not only was it intentional, in some live versions they quote "arnold layne" at the end.
― Arch Bacon (rushomancy), Friday, 3 August 2018 23:28 (three months ago) Permalink
i'm less convinced that the nod to the "doctor who" theme in the studio "one of these days" was originally intentional. obviously the '87-onward versions contain an intentional nod to it, and i've heard bootlegs from as early as '73 that explicitly reference the theme, but for me at least the jury's still out on the "meddle" version.

It's more that I like how "low key" the band members generally kept themselves '69-'72, it gave the Floyd a bit of mystery and put the music at the forefront. While getting to know the band as "personalities" doesn't prevent 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond', 'Dogs' or 'Comfortably Numb' from ruling, I wish they'd tried to keep a little mystery a la Kraftwerk or their earlier selves.

Interesting though how they managed to stay so anonymous slap bang in the middle of the "rock god" era. I imagine even at the height of Dark Side Of The Moon, Waters could walk down the street relatively unrecognised. Whereas Bowie would be mobbed even though Ziggy Stardust sold a lot less

Fascinating bit in the Kopp book about the soundtrack to The Committee. After describing the obvious Floyd pieces in the soundtrack, there's this:
The film's soundtrack does contain a mysterious anomaly. The first thirty-second snippet of music used is played backward in the film. It features a most unusual mix of sounds: drums sound like Indian tabla, guitars sound like sitars (or electric sitars), and the keyboard sounds seem to be coming from an early modular synthesizer. It's worth noting that none of these instruments had made an appearance on a Pink Floyd recording previously...The provenance of this piece of music is hinted at in Julian Palacios's book Syd Barrett & Pink Floyd: Dark Globe. As Palacios points out, when producer Max Steuer contracted with Pink Floyd to provide the film's soundtrack, Syd Barrett was still in the group. And more than two months before Pink Floyd began their session for the film soundtrack, Syd Barrett reported for duty. Apparently, Barrett showed up at Sound Techniques studio on the appointed day, January 30, 1968, without a guitar or band. As Steuer had booked session time in advance, phone calls were made, and an ad hoc band was assembled. That group may have included Steve Peregrin Took (later of T. Rex (sic)) and Brian "Blinky" Davidson, Davy O'List's band mate in the Nice. Though Palacios does not suggest that the single track they recorded was actually used in the film, he asserts that Barrett insisted the twenty-minute recording be played backward once it was completed.

Anyway, here is that plus a couple of the tracks recorded later with Gilmour. I quite like them, very garage!
