"Great Gig" and "Time" were the ones used in Prime Suspect: Tennison. The whole soundtrack for that is pretty choice: Deep Purple, Roxy, Marley, Lizzy, Free, Sweet, Joni etc.

about 18 shows from the 1972 tour just went up on streaming, including a Southampton Guildhall one.... will have to listen and see if the sound was always rotten in that room!

Yeeshkul is reporting that the Southampton gig is actually Wembley '74 (the radio broadcast)

i'm listening to the travel sequence from the southampton / wembley gig, and it has scratches on it so i assume they sourced from a vinyl boot?
anyway, does anyone know if they had the VCS3 on stage and the sequence was live or if it was on tape?
― stirmonster, Sunday, 18 December 2022 19:54 (one year ago) link
I was wondering if they added the scratches

Holy shit @ all those 1972 sets! My first instinct is to make a chronological playlist of every version of "Any Colour You Like" and listen to it all the way through. Should be a groovy way to figure out which shows have the best fidelity...

According to http://sparebricks.fika.org/sbzine28/WrightGear-rev156.pdf (linked to from Wright's web page at https://rickwright.com/gear/ so it's about as official as you can get now). Wright was using a VCS3 and Synthi A as early as 1971 but not on stage until the 1973 tour.

Is there a previously-known-to-fans, classic gig from this bunch they just released?
― piscesx, Monday, 19 December 2022 13:01 (one year ago) link
I was looking through these recordings and (at the risk of going a bit nerdy and Hoffman) they look shoddy, some have entirely the wrong information or dates, mislabelled song titles, and sometimes are even a different gig.
So I had a quick look through my drives and have uploaded some of the better quality '72 recs with good provenance that I have gotten over the years.
Apologies, I can't speak to what the rated performances are like as '72 is not really a much listened-to year of mine.
I'll leave the link up for a week or so.

Season Finale Series one.
lots of Pink Floyd references in this series, a main character called Sydney Barrett for one.

Listening to "The Travel Sequence" from that show. This is new to me, a nice moody space-rock jam, completely different from "On the Run"

Thanks there Maresnest, happily am downloading all those.

You're very welcome, I think the Rainbow and Brussels recording may be the best, on the latter you have the added bonus of Rog doing his terrifying Scots shrieking during CwTAE.
― MaresNest, Monday, 19 December 2022 16:24 (one year ago) link
thank you MaresNest! i took J. Sam's advice and started with the 2/20 date, currently bathed in flanger at the beginning of Breathe, feeling very good

Rainbow Theatre gigs are probably the best of these releases. Hollywood Bowl a close runner-up.

When I was 13/14 and just getting into music my best friend at the time would take the bus home from junior high to his mom's house. There was this amazing stereo (they had a cd player!) that I think she scored from her husband in their recent divorce. She was always at work at the time so we had free reign to crank that thing and also usually there were snacks. My friend also had an older brother who was like ten yrs older and I now realize was yr classic stoner dude. He was also never around (I feel like I only ever met him like once or twice) so we had access to the loads of tapes in his room.
Basically, we came home from school and for the next three hours or so listened to Pink Floyd. Specifically "The Wall". But also "Wish You Were Here", "Meddle", "The Final Cut" and "Works". I think that's cuz it was all we had. But so I did this...a few times a week for months. Some days we would listen to "The Wall" then go downstairs and watch "The Wall" movie on a projection screen. Or vice versa. Months of this.
Suffice to say this, plus general constant exposure to "Dark Side" (I worked in various warehouses and lemme tell you midwest dudes on loading docks love "Dark Side"), and the then current early-mid 90s P Floyd which was huge, lead to an extreme and long-standing allergy to anything Pink Floyd related that has lasted 30 yrs.
So now UMS is texting me about the Saucer mono mix and I'm like "man I should listen to PF again maybe". For some reason my jr high friend and I never listened to "Animals" and I don't think I ever heard it until I listened to it the other day and it totally blew my mind. The 77 tour boots are my current fave music, just amazing.
I kind went down the rabbit hole a bit, my wife came home from work and was like "I thought you were listening to "Dark Side of the Moon" but there is no way you are listening to "Dark Side of the Moon"" I was listening to "Dark Side of the Moon".
Still can't deal with "The Wall" or anything post '77 but I can say that, yes Pink Floyd Rules.

At my new office, we have a bunch of folders to use on the Drive. Two of our main ones are DarkSide and TheWall.
DarkSide is where all of our current publications in production are kept. TheWall looks like it's employee photos, etc. Neither folder really matches its name though.
Noticed that on the first day. On the second day, I met the 60-year-old IT director and went Oh. Every screen not in use had a Floyd screensaver. Poster of the screaming Wall guy hanging in the back. And, he was even blasting something from that Delicate Sound of Thunder tour on his office radio.
I finally asked him about the folders a month later. "There's really interesting story to that!" he said and walked away. I still don't know.
But I do know this: PINK FLOYD RULES.

I saw that mentioned as well. I'm not familiar with that Wright album at all, I suppose I should give it a listen.

It's very mellow, half-instrumental, with a few great chord progressions that probably wouldn't have fit on Animals or The Wall.
