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!

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.

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"? >:(

i hear if you play this video and Dark Side at the same time, it synchs up PERFECTLY. How did they know?

the final appearance of "Careful With That Axe Eugene", played as an encore.

Which in itself is an unusual version with Wright's Moog going full bore.

OK, you lot would know:

I recently bought a Pink Floyd box set by accident on ebay (put a stupidly low bid on it, won it, found out is was a genuine UK edition not a Chinese knock-off, anyway close bracket back to the question)

Surprised by how much of this I like. Obviously avoiding "Wall", "Moon", "Wish" and the last two. (not played "Cut" as yet)

The only PF album I remember 'contemporaneously' was "Animals" which became a fixture on the 6th form stereo when I couldn't get it removed in favour of "Oh Bondage Up Yours" and the like..

The lines about Mary Whitehouse seem to have changed dramatically. From the positively hateful "you fucked up old hag" to "house proud town mouse" (which does rhyme at least). Seeing as how the next line talks about 'love hidden' or something, the 'newer' line works better.

So, when did that change?

The original version contains both lines. Maybe yours has been edited?

And the "fucked up old hag" line is in the previous verse, not the Whitehouse one.

Oh right. thx.

This is it, see:

The various "Best of" PF, contain plenty of the albums I avoid, and little of the ones I like best!

The last half of "Sheep" I like a lot.

Things like "Free Four" and "Wots, uh" and "Granchester" now we are talking..

I've not heard "Shine on you crazy di" a million times, maybe five, but I could happily never hear it again.

And speaking of Pink Floyd box sets, this guy rules:

The last half of "Sheep" I like a lot.

I think the only bit of "Animals" I remember liking was the intro to "Sheep"? Sort of echoey Rhodes piano thing? Or was that another track?

Pssh, that pic makes it look like he SLASHES the Box and contents with TEH STANLEY KNIFE!!

(He does not)

jammed out to Momentary Lapse last week, hit that Avalon groove, second side pretty underrated I think.

This seems a brave opinion -- and one I kinda agree with. I hadn't listened to this record in a long, long time until this week - but even if the tracks don't particularly distinguish themselves as songs, (Ezrin's?) atmospherics remain pretty impressive. As a 15 year-old, I enjoyed them. But even now, I find tracks like "Yet Another Movie" pretty appealing -- the orchestral synth washes, the pulsing sequencers, the droney way Gilmour's voice is double tracked and harmonized. Not a lot of stuff sounds like this.

Doh! I never made the Avalon connection with AMLOR... It's so obvious even Manzanera has a co-write.

One of the versions of the "Learning To Fly" single had something called a (DYOL) mix of "Terminal Frost" that had no guitars on it, just the piano + backing track. (DYOL = Do Your Own Lead) Quite nice piece of ambience.
