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.

PF 1969-71 still feels slept on by a lot of people, if it's true, it's a real shame.

Might not be slept on if Pink Floyd themselves had anything good to say about it - though I suppose "Meddle" is in there, they seem to approve of that.
― Tom's Tits Experiment (Tom D.), Saturday, 14 October 2017 18:37 (seven months ago) Permalink
Well, it's their patchiest era, so it's not surprising that that particular era is slept on. Although I suspect "slept on" isn't correct term... millions of people at this stage have probably heard those albums - it just so happens many don't like 'em.

― Tom's Tits Experiment (Tom D.), Saturday, 14 October 2017 19:29 (seven months ago) Permalink
They hated the way Atom Heart Mother turned out, and Ummagumma feels less like an album from the time and, well, an archival release from right now -- if that had all surfaced as part of the box and had never been heard before, I wouldn't've been surprised at all. The box really does a great job in not only reclaiming the era more thoroughly but conveying why they had such an intense following not only out of the gate but after what in any other situation would have been a crippling switch-out of lead creative figures. I was consistently intrigued by the size of the crowds, festival settings or otherwise.

i kind of assumed that until listening to the whole thing through again... it really isn't! it's got good stuff on it and awful stuff on it. bob ezrin's production also makes it a lot more listener-friendly than "atom heart mother" is.
i won't say '69, but '70-'71 they were consistent, and consistently great, as a live band - if i only could judge by the studio albums i'm not sure '70-'71 floyd would be my favorite era.
― bob lefse (rushomancy), Sunday, 15 October 2017 00:04 (seven months ago) Permalink
They were pretty good in '69, the problem I have with '71 is that "Echoes" is so outrageously overrated by everyone - esp. the band, that story they tell about about Rick Wright playing the opening notes thru the Binson like it was the Holy Grail...
― Tom's Tits Experiment (Tom D.), Sunday, 15 October 2017 00:28 (seven months ago) Permalink
Meddle works precisely because it isn't all "Echoes" -- you have to have that first half as is. And we do, thankfully. I love how all over the place it goes, and at its breeziest it's not far at all from Obscured by Clouds. Thinking on which: seeing how the songs actually work in both the Schroeder films -- strictly diagetic, as songs on radios, tape players, etc that the characters have to hand or are listening to -- I really enjoy taking them all now less as 'Floyd' songs and more as them creating their own weird little riffs or reinterpretations of sounds and styles around them. I forget which song on Obscured it is, but there's a cut that's essentially their take on Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky," and made me realize that if they just ever wanted to be some sort of easy good time boogie band they always had it in them. (See also, getting back to Meddle, "Seamus.")

Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets is the brainchild of former Blockheads guitarist Lee Harris who back in 2016 suggested putting a group together around Nick Mason and featuring esteemed Pink Floyd/ David Gilmour session bassist Guy Pratt.To distance themselves from Roger Waters and David Gilmour's live set lists, the idea was to focus solely on Pink Floyd’s embryonic years of 1967 to 1972.With Nick Mason on board, they completed Nick Mason’s Saucerful Of Secrets with Spandau Ballet’s Gary Kemp on guitars and music producer/composer Dom Beken on keyboards.The four gigs in May will be Nick Mason’s first live musical outing since Pink Floyd’s historic Live 8 concert in London’s Hyde Park in 2005. Nick, of course, is a founder and the only constant member of Pink Floyd performing on all of their albums as well as all of their live shows
