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?

tylerw otm

(and tyler, ps -- just checked your blog to see if you'd posted the floyd show . . . to answer your keef question, i think johnny depp's supposed to be reading the audio)

[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.

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.

I was talking about dead heads digging Can but I don’t know anymore

Moka asked: I got two friends who are all about Pink Floyd ruling, and I can’t seem to get them to listen to Can. What would you think would be the best connection point to get them into them. Future Days perhaps?

How about "Millionenspiel"?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMoxgb4TTFk

It's from 1969 so it pre-dates PF's "One of These Days"; but they seem to share a vibe.

Second pick would be the album "Monster Movie."

True, but this here is the PINK FLOYD (RULES) thread.

xp

(xp) It depends what era of Floyd they are interested in but, even then, I don't know why you assume Pink Floyd fans would like "Monster Movie".

If you're more of a pre-DSOTM Floyd fan I can't imagine you'd have too many problems adjusting to Can.

here's how to get pink floyd fans into can

tell them "listen to can, they rule"

since pink floyd also RULES obviously they should be interested

if they aren't for some reason that's fine, just make fun of them until they either go away or start pretending to like can

of course there is also the (great) piece can did on the old grey whistle test in '74 called "untitled (for pink floyd)", looks like the sendspace i threw up of it a little while back is still good

https://www.sendspace.com/file/qh3qo1

My dad loves Floyd's post-Syd, pre-DSOTM material, was into Ash Ra Tempel and Amon Düül at the time, and his favourite King Crimson album is Islands, yet he still finds Can too busy and weird, even on Future Days. That he discovered them almost thirty years later is likely part of the problem.

Fair enough though, Amon Duul II and Ash Ra Tempel fit more neatly with that era of Floyd.

CAN propose to take you on an adventure, to bear witness to the whole wild ride, slipperiness and all. it's immediate and exhilarating but might cause you to feel apprehensive or disoriented.

pink floyd have already come back from their adventures and propose to tell you about it in exaggerated if highly enjoyable detail. the achievements are towering but we're dealing with a more-or-less formalized storytelling, not wild and magical incantations.

it's maybe a bit like the difference between rabelais and racine.

I don't think Pink Floyd's music is ever as tightly wound as Racine's alexandrins, but in terms of sheer clarity I agree that the two intersect. The difference is that post-Syd, pre-The Wall Pink Floyd view optimization as a means of approximating a modest experience of transcendence, whereas there's a claustrophobic logic to Racine's plays that doesn't really point towards anything other than its own aesthetic and theological fatalism.

here's how to get pink floyd fans into can

tell them "listen to can, they rule"

since pink floyd also RULES obviously they should be interested

this is very otm

lol, could you even imagine what a CAN concept album would be about?

A can of vegetables?

mushrooms, to be exact, with heads

they use quantum physics to summon Mother Sky from the future days and bring the rain during the vernal equinox

It turns out that perhaps PF and Can's literal point of nearest confluence is that time when they each had a hit disco single.

lol sleeve

xp i wasn't expecting such a complex analysis of racine (or floyd), though i think you're spot on. my comparison was only meant to evoke a sort of classicist conceptual space vs. a more sprawling, piecemeal artistry that embraces dead-ends and absurdity

you raise the blade
you make the change

I'm finally reading Nick Mason's book Inside Out. Nick rules, even if there is roughly zero insight into anything.

FYI - this is free right now if you have a Kindle and Amazon Prime

it's kind of fascinating, EZ is totally right, like his memory is very good and it's definitely shedding a lot of light of how the band fell together and the early days (just started) but he's WEIRDLY removed from it, like if this were written by just some rock journo (removing the first person) it would seem right, like this happened and this happened and this happened

he barely really touches on Syd or anyone else as a person -- the only thing is he has more than a few bitchy asides about Rick Wright being a cheapskate haha. Make a few comments about Roger's temper but yeah very odd tone, like he wasn't that connected to what's going on.

One thing that is very funny is that the era's premier psychedelic band were extremely extremely square upper middle class school boys.

but I mean...it rules, that goes without saying

definitely a good read just to learn a whole lot of detail about the saga

I didn't know Joe Boyd was involved in the early days and that their management company was also behind T-Rex, etc

Joe Boyd’s book white bicycles is a fun read

^^ yeah, enthusiastic co-sign there

and the accompanying Robyn Hitchcock concert/reading.

you lock the door
throw away the key

true story: joe boyd and trey anastasio are from the same hometown

joe does some reading, robyn does some playing, fun is had by all

Recently picked up The Final Cut on vinyl and I really think it might be my favourite PF album despite really not being what the Floyd are about at all. So good though.

Man. Of all the albums to go from T1 to T12 on, that cover was a brave choice.

pretty cool that he chose to honor the underrated richard wright on his left arm

yeah cosign. that was the first Floyd album I ever heard and I'll always love it for that reason.

xp to lamonti

all in all, it was a,

fuckin sweet tattoo imo

Probably as close as you'll get to seeing them live ever again i guess.

the one guy with the spectacular mullet in 70mm

The re-edit on the Box Set thingy is miles better, but I still prefer Pulse even though it's not the same picture quality.

Probably as close as you'll get to seeing them live ever again i guess

wtf, just go and see Waters' rescheduled dates next year. So much closer to Floyd than the Gilmour incarnation.

The last time Rick Wright played Echoes with David Gilmour is really wicked.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrProK5R7ms

it really is. i didn't intend to watch all of that, when i started. it's nothing too unexpected - it's just very nice to watch them all nail it, and to see him play that part at the end with gilmour where they echo (har har) each other's parts

Just on a work Zoom call with some people from another business and one of 'em was wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt.

All I could think of while on the call was PINK FLOYD RULES.

Last weekend while making a diorama with cows in it for my nieces, I listened to an inspiration, Atom Heart Mother, on headphones.

How did it feel? It ruled.

that's what it's all about

always & forever

Hey everyone - it's late Sunday night here in Firestorm LA, but let's all blow our minds to March 14, 1973 at the Boston Music Hall.

Their pre-gig, dgaf stage-tuning\fiddling really had properly matured fully by 1973.

That post has had me poking around Yeeshkul for the first time in a couple of months, there is a substantial upgrade to Berlin '70 on there, sounds bloody marvelous, heads up nerds.

this boston show RULES

i mean, i'm literally inside the heart of the sun right now, where time and space has no meaning, and i see that echoes is next, and THEN DSOTM holy shit

16 minutes into the studio version of "echoes" when the pinging picks up, the debut (?) of the helicopter guitar that'll be all over the wall, then however many seconds into minute 18, the arpeggiated glory

so ya
thought ya
might like to
go to the show

Ta feel the warrrrrm thrill of confusion
That space cadet glow!
