this dutch 1969 show is soooo rad dudes. http://www.dangerousminds.net/comments/pink_floyd_rehearsal_footage_1969

Tyler, downloaded that '67 show from Stockholm from your blog yesterday, only came across it by accident. YOU RULE!

I'm trying to persuade the dudes at EMI to release the VPRO recording as part of the 'Early Years box', they didn't know about it, along with the mono Saucerful.

What's the VPRO recording?

It's here http://rockpopbootlegs.blogspot.com/2011/03/pink-floyd-1969-09-17-amsterdam.html

Ah! Hoped it might be a Syd one, tbh.

They've tried with the Syd one but discussion stalled as the owner of the recording wants a bunch of money for it.

It's too bad EMI and Pink Floyd are so broke.

maybe gilmour can take out a second mortgage on one of his yachts.

this boat rules

Astoria is a grand houseboat, adapted as a recording studio by its owner, Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. It is moored on the River Thames near Hampton Court. Gilmour purchased the boat in 1986, because he "spent half of [his] life in recording studios with no windows, no light, but on the boat there are many windows, with beautiful scenery on the outside".

this one is more budget friendly tho. who wants to help me buy it.

PINK FLOYD CRUISE RULES

that is awesome!

Euler finally brings it home.

He sailed it in to Southampton Dock, so to speak.

Had no idea the intro to "Shine On" was wine glasses!

Live at Pompeii at Lincoln Center in a few weeks!

rules

I keep checking out those recent remasters (take 3) of the Pink Floyd and would really love to have those live tracks, but it looks like they split the show up onto like 3 cds.

It always seems weird to me that there really isn't a single classic period Pink Floyd live album other than Ummagumma, which is really before the really big albums. They had to be recording some of it.

Okay, I'm stealing this idea for my Halloween costume next year. I might leave the exercise ball at home, though.

good luck w/ finding enough incandescent bulbs

"Is there anybody out there" is 1980 pink floyd.

The "Experience" edition of "Dark Side" has a 1974 gig.

So has "Wish you were here", was that what you meant about the 3CDs?

I read it that an Immersion version of Animals was imminent. Always hopeful. Sadly there apparently are no soundboards from the Animals tour.

bummer! there are lots of decent boots,at least.

Should be soundboards of them playing embryonic versions of some of those cuts on earlier tours. That'd work for me.

cf. the WYWH Immersion set for that request.

yeah. I just want more!

Am thinking that, lacking any soundboards, they should take a "Beat The Boots" approach and clean up the May 9, 1977, Oakland show. Now that would RULE.

I'd love that! The first bootleg I ever bought was the three-LP set A Nice Pair. Then I bought it on cd, then I downloaded a better version.

Animals addict.

Throw in the Montreal spitting show for posterity too.

It always seems weird to me that there really isn't a single classic period Pink Floyd live album other than Ummagumma, which is really before the really big albums. They had to be recording some of it.

I think Waters is probably to blame for this, he always said he wanted the live show to be an experience for those who were there and that a recording wouldn't do justice to it. I know he nixed the release of the Wall live video footage and I wouldn't be surprised if he always vetoed live albums as well (other than the ones now coming out)

seems insane that the band didn't record a single show from the animals tour ... considering all the tech-y aspects of the floyd at that point, hard to believe someone didn't just roll tape. is the oakland show the consensus best boot from the tour?

these guys seem to think so:

FWIW, part of the Oakland show is on Wolfgang vault: http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/pink-floyd/concerts/oakland-coliseum-arena-may-09-1977.html

Google "Animal Instincts" for the definitive copy.

The Oakland show rules not only for its sound quality but also for Gilmour's guitar heroics on SOYCD (Parts 6-9) and the final appearance of "Careful With That Axe Eugene", played as an encore.

Also, no spitting or sulking, as with the final (Montreal) show.

I'm pretty sure this band rules.

"pretty sure"? >:(
