PINK FLOYD

"I know all those words but that sign makes no sense!" -- Lisa referring to the Yahoo Serious Festival

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.

ps pink floyd rules

name of bootleg, please?

[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.

FLOYD IS NOT SAFE FOR WORK

i kind of dig that the division bell dudes have been incorporated into the floyd iconography. must make waters so mad.

I've been thinking the same thing. High hopes etc.

The only bad thing on "Atom Heart Mother" is "If".

And the only bad thing on The Final Cut is "Not Now John"

most of their bad songs are on momentary lapse of reason… imo

cosign

I’ve never dug deep into Floyd bootlegs. Which of this new dump do people especially stan for?

xxxp funny, that's the only cut I really like on that album. ("The Fletcher Memorial Home" is probably the only other one I'd listen to again.)

Critical reaction to the suite has always been mixed, and all band members have expressed negativity toward it in recent times. Gilmour has said the album was "a load of rubbish. We were at a real down point ... I think we were scraping the barrel a bit at that period" and "a good idea but it was dreadful... Atom Heart Mother sounds like we didn't have any idea between us, but we became much more prolific after it." Similarly, in a 1984 interview on BBC Radio 1, Waters said "If somebody said to me now – right – here's a million pounds, go out and play Atom Heart Mother, I'd say you must be fucking joking."

It's been long established that if Gilmour and Waters hate something it's almost certainly worth listening to.

Anyway, hasn't Gilmour played the title track a few times in recent years?

Atom Heart Mother is at least 75% great. Pretentious hippie twaddle, but what twaddle!

I remember seeing footage of Gilmour sitting in with a PInk Floyd cover band to play Atom Heart Mother, which I thought was a pretty great thing to do. Imagine being in a PF tribute and playing with big Dave himself! I think Ron Geesin was involved in the performance, so it wasn’t totally random.

tbf Nick Mason is in a Pink Floyd cover band.

A very good one!

Wasn't too impressed when I saw them at the Roundhouse in 2018. After a promising start, they played most of the songs with a fast the same insistent tempo and no variation - it was like early Pink Floyd mixed with the sense of timing of a Bavarian Ompah Band.

I was ready for that list to have Corporal Clegg (which rules) on it, but not most of the rest of Saucerful (which is my favourite PF album). Violence

Some unseen 8mm footage of the Wall live has been upped, apparently from different London dates, with sound too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBCEKUpMssw

so which one is pink? it is not gilmour because he was not there when it was first named and it was not klose because it was still named so when he left early and it was not barrett because he went mad and it still kept going and it was not waters when he thought the final cut was the end and it came back and it was not wright because he was not officially part of it when they made amlor so pink must be mason who was in the beginning till the end!

Best to address that question from a non-dual perspective. When you investigate more closely, you'll find that there is no Pink.

Matter of fact it's all Pink.

And a genie appeared and granted David Gilmour 3 wishes ...

“I’d like a joint.”

“Your wish is my command.”

“Wow. Ok, I wish Paul McCartney was here with me.”

“It is so, master. You have one more wish remaining.”

“Make McCartney look more like a struggling magician.” pic.twitter.com/zGg1jWpVhJ

Starts at 19'13"

i am liking the post barrett pre and post waters dominated period i call the other side of the moon and i ordered on cd
A Saucerful of Secrets (1968)
More (1969)
Meddle (1971)
Obscured by Clouds (1972)
A Momentary Lapse of Reason (1987)

The adrift period post-Syd, pre-Atom Heart Mother is their most interesting and rewarding imo, and probably what I return to the most having burnt myself out on Syd as a bratty tween. Not so much the proper albums but could probably put together a comp of stuff from that time incl. bootlegs, radio, soundtracks etc that I'd prefer over any of their albums.

A few of the best things are included on 'The Early Years', you should pirate that.

Re: Post-Barrett era, something I posted 5 years ago:

Mix tape I put together in (probably) 1984 after getting the Dark Side of the Moo bootleg, the Holy Grail of then-unavailable non-LP Floyd tracks:

- Side 1
Cymbaline
Lucifer Sam
It Would Be So Nice
Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk
Ibiza Bar
Chapter 24
Point Me at the Sky
See Emily Play
Jugband Blues
Arnold Layne
Candy and a Current Bun
Corporal Clegg
The Nile Song
Green Is the Colour

- Side 2
The Grand Vizier's Garden Party, Part 1: Entrance (just the flute part)
Astronomy Domine (Ummagumma live version)
Let There Be More Light
Embryo
Sysyphus, Part 4 (the first 3 minutes, with bird SFX leading nicely into...)
Grantchester Meadow
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
A Saucerful of Secrets
The Grand Vizier's Garden Party, Part 3: Exit

Dark side of the moo was life changing. I posted my half hour invention of Floyd as late 60s psyche folk band somewhere above.

agree, one of the best bootlegs ever

Yeah, I probably like Dark Side of the Moo better than any of PF's albums.

Has any musician got more mileage out of one guitar solo than David Gilmore?

idk he seems pretty diverse to me - http://www.davidgilmore.net/

dude has a pretty heavyweight resume tbh

http://www.davidgilmore.net/about/

Heh, i actually have a friend who took guitar lessons from Mr. Gilmore in high school, posted one of his album covers to the "wrong dude" thread a while ago.

LOL

Not as heavy as Michael Bolton's.

Saw an incredibly attractive person the other day, then noticed they were wearing a PINK FLOYD shirt, just about fell over. I don't know why I was surprised, PF fans are invariably gorgeous and well put together.

not saying Floyd doesnt have attractive fans or i would be denying my own existence lol

but also pink floyd shirts are a dime a dozen in fast fashion stores

All people named David Gilmour/more are awesome guitar players, Gilmore played w/Wayne Shorter among other jazz greats and teaches at Berklee

the Dark Side prism really has a life of its own as a visual icon

Interesting, UK label Burning Shed are advertising a PF bootleg - outside the 50yr limit - https://burningshed.com/pink-floyd_the-heart-of-the-sun_cd

Someone from Yeeshkul mailed them to find out more details, and if it was legit, this is the reply -

Many thanks for your query.
As you suggest, this release has not been officially endorsed by either Pink Floyd or the band’s label. However, despite that, it is 100% legitimate and is being distributed by a reputable UK company.
From what we’ve been told, the release is allowable as a result of copyright laws relating to US radio recordings and the record company would have remastered the original source recordings (which being produced by a radio station should be of a high quality).

So it essentially sounds like all those Grateful Dead "radio broadcasts" that Amazon still allows on their site.

Well, this is kinda unusual, in that Burning Shed wouldn't have a leg to stand on if they got sued into atoms by Tony Smith or Roger Waters' people. Seems very risky, I know PF did the copyright dump recently with loads of sub-par boots, what's odd is, they're all still up on streaming sites, I thought the point was you took them down after a week or so?

Oh yeah, I'm definitely surprised that Burning Shed would distribute this one!

This is really interesting.

Where have I've seen that before?

November 15 Bonzo Dog Band; Deep Purple

If I told them once, I told them a hundred times, to put Deep Purple first and Bonzo Dog Band last.

XP - I think it's from the guy who made that PF BBC documentary and released the uncut interviews last year, amazing that Fields lived in the same flat until he passed away in March 2021.

That would be it.

So this Animals remix/5.1 set is finally coming out in mid-September with no frills. Why they remixed it I've no idea, it sounds just fine.
