what rules even more about that picture is that they were watching a pink floyd show at the time. don't ask me how gilmour did it.

I wonder if it ever happened where a kid was watching a Bonham drum solo and looked over next to him to see John Paul Jones standing there, grooving along.

Famously, you could have a drink with most of Cream while they were doing "Toad"...

Have we come to a consensus yet what the best-sounding version of Dark Side of the Moon is? Is it the new 2011 James Guthrie mix? The original 1973 UK Harvest LP? The DSD 5.1 layer of the SACD? Pink Floyd RULES!
― Mr. Snrub, Thursday, 29 September 2011 22:38 (twelve years ago) link
best sounding version is whatever version is playing right now.

Sigh... I guess I can't really argue with that.

And in fact the Who were originally slated to be on that Hendrix/Move/Floyd show, but had to back out for some reason (either Keith Moon's broken foot, or the fact that their stock had fallen and they were decidedly unhip in late 1967 London).

Great unsung Gilmour work here. I think Alfred might agree with me that this was one of McCartney's last truly great ballads.

Heard that Macca song on the radio last week for the first time in eons and didn't recognize it until the chorus. Thought it amusing that at least until the bridge and chorus it could be just about anyone from that era.

Ha, that Hendrix/Move/Floyd poster: I just read Lemmy's autobiography this week, and he talks about being a roadie on that tour. So besides all those bands, you've got Lemmy hanging out backstage somewhere (and everybody tripping their asses off the whole time, naturally).

I'm sorry, is this even a question? We can certainly debate the varying merits of post-Syd and post-Waters Floyd (I'd argue that after WYWH, the stock thins considerably, but some of that is sentiment, I'm sure.)
Pink Floyd Rules. (Specially when they're just doing soundtracks for arty hippie flicks.)

I got some ice cream @ an ice cream shop and they were playing WYWH (the album) over the speakers. Both that and the ice cream ruled.

Other than Meddle, the period of Floyd that I don't know anything at all about is the run from More through Obscured by Clouds. I started fucking with More this morning. It rules. Where should I turn my attention next?
― rustic italian flatbread, Friday, 30 September 2011 13:02 (twelve years ago) link
Also, would tylerw be able to cough up some period-specific bootlegs that rule?
― rustic italian flatbread, Friday, 30 September 2011 13:07 (twelve years ago) link
Go back, rustic. Go back! Back to the glory days of SAUCERFUL OF SECRETS (recorded right before MORE, or less) Back to PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN. Back to any of the bajillion bootlegs of that era. TOTAL ECLIPSE (while an overview) spends much of its time on the MEDDLE and before Floyd. Not sure of its print status, but it was legendary in the 90s and I'm sure it's still around to be found.
― Matt M., Friday, 30 September 2011 13:58 (twelve years ago) link
here are my two fave floyd bootlegs: meddled (1971): http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/7615424545/labyrinths-of-coral-caves-in-recent-stories-aboutmooed music (1970): http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/7928048401/the-stars-are-screaming-loud-since-people-seem-to
& yeah, total eclipse is quite good!
― tylerw, Friday, 30 September 2011 14:35 (twelve years ago) link
wow, that rules! thanks
what doesn't rule is the latest 'rolling stone' cover feature on 'dark side.' what a bummer! only interview questions i'm interested in hearing waters, mason, and gilmour answer at this point are 1) why do you think your band rules so much? 2) which of your albums is your favorite? and 3) how awesome was it to play those songs on stage, higher than fuck, night after night?
― reggie (qualmsley), Friday, 30 September 2011 14:43 (twelve years ago) link
Q: Why do you think your band rules so much?Gilmour: Pink Floyd rules.
― tylerw, Friday, 30 September 2011 14:46 (twelve years ago) link
Q: Which of your albums rules the most?Waters: Every single one of them.
― reggie (qualmsley), Friday, 30 September 2011 15:13 (twelve years ago) link
It would rule if Gilmour answered only in musical notes, or just by reference to songs (e.g. "uhhhh, the last couple of minutes of "Fearless")

"You know, the part towards the end of 'Set The Controls'...You know what I'm talking about."

q - "what was it like playing that awesome music in front of millions of people?"a - gilmour starts playing the opening of "pillow of winds"

q- what was the best thing about being in pink floyda- waters plays bass riff to "money"

Thanks for those links, Tyler. Always good to put more on the bootleg pile.

this sort of is okay

INTERSTELLAR ENCORE is also good. From the Filmore, maybe '71 or so. "Fat Old Sun" makes an appearance, which is always nice. DE DOLEN and LIVE AT MONTREAUX are good as well, though not as cleanly recorded as some.
― Matt M., Friday, 30 September 2011 15:33 (twelve years ago) link
don't think i have those fillmore 71 shows, though some of it is on total eclipse, i believe. need to find them!
― tylerw, Friday, 30 September 2011 15:38 (twelve years ago) link
I obtained this collection somewhat recently & it's a lot to go through but it rules like the "Mother" solo.
― Euler, Friday, 30 September 2011 15:41 (twelve years ago) link
would listen to (most of) that.
― tylerw, Friday, 30 September 2011 15:44 (twelve years ago) link
There's still vast parts of TREE FULL OF SECRETS that I haven't delved into. It's frighteningly exhaustive.
Tyler, hit me at maxwellm at pobox dot com and I'll see what I can do about that Filmore show. Might be a few days, though. Heading to a comic show in a couple hours.
― Matt M., Friday, 30 September 2011 15:51 (twelve years ago) link

Wow @ that Tree full of Secrets set... Disc 8(!) has the soundscapes that they played before show on the Division bell tour --which I remember being one of the highlights of seeing that show--360 degree sound in the dome, with the sound of a lawnmower puttering around the stadium...it was pretty cool.
