That said, as a band, they were infinitely looser and more engaged/engaging than on record. I'd take live Animals over the studio version in a heartbeat.

Man this Cincinnati '71 is just SUCH A WEIRD CONCERT. It's simultaneously such bullshit and so awesome.
― hibernaculum (Jon Lewis), Friday, 1 February 2013 17:30 (eleven years ago) link
terms like classic and dud become quite useless
i haven't listened to it all yet as I got distracted by a really good Manchester '74 gig that I grabbed at the same time, but kicking the gig off with a 28 min version of The Embryo is a pretty odd move.

Bought yesterday off emusic because my time for wtf-era Floyd has come:
MeddleMoreAtom Heart Mother
Can't be a Barrett snob forever. Also it is apparently a savvy biz move for them to keep their stuff entirely off spotify as that prob wld have satisfied my itch for free...
― hibernaculum (Jon Lewis), Saturday, 2 February 2013 16:46 (eleven years ago) link
Oh man, some of More is the best shit EVER.
― dan selzer, Saturday, 2 February 2013 17:35 (eleven years ago) link
a savvy move is to put on "Fearless" pronto
― Euler, Saturday, 2 February 2013 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
it rules
Fearless does rule! If I participate in the PF tracks poll, it will be near the top of my ballot.
― how's life, Saturday, 2 February 2013 18:12 (eleven years ago) link
MORE is an almost perfect blend of the Syd-era weirdness with full-metal rock and spooky sounds.
― Matt M., Saturday, 2 February 2013 18:49 (eleven years ago) link
Funny how they never played Fearless or A Pillow of Winds live.
― MaresNest, Saturday, 2 February 2013 19:08 (eleven years ago) link
yeah Fearless rules p hard

LOVE "Fearless." I had a roommate who was a massive fan of post-DSOTM Floyd, but ignored everything prior. When I played him "Fearless," not only did he hate what he assumed was a twee indie band, but assumed I was lying/joking when I told him it was Floyd. It took him about 7-8 listens to finally admit it *might* be Floyd.

pretty sure that Embryo is 28 min because of equipment probs and rather than stopping the show while Rick's keyboards are fixed they just decide to go on and jam
could be wrong on that tho
― rushomancy, Saturday, 2 February 2013 23:32 (eleven years ago) link
I wondered why Rick was largely absent from that. Still great.
Thanks again to MaresNest for this and mono Saucerful!

I was digging into 'momentary lapse' and 'division bell' kinda rece, trying to see if there were overlooked treasures the likes of which soto might rep for, but they're almost unbearable. I had ok memories of the former but the two consensus salvagables from that one ('learning to fly' and 'turning away') are weak. The latter in partic sounds more like that crappy Styx gulf war anthem than the Floyd.

I dig Lapse, "Terminal Frost" is nice, it's no lost classic but it's a good ride except for the abomination that is "The Dogs of War"

Going to go look this up in the Glenn Povey PF In The Flesh book.

Floyd instrumental obscurity makes brief appearance in this mix of early industrial, rave techno, sun city girls and the doors. and alvin lucier.

Sorrow is the only song from the last two Floyd records that I like to any appreciable degree anymore.

You guys, a good friend of mine who worked for the B33B very kindly sent me CDs of the two In Concert performances from '70 & '71, these were taken direct from the off air masters, not from transcription discs so they are as good as it can get (okay they're not 48khz, nerds) and most likely better than any silvers you may already have.

I will be making a W3Transf3r link in the next day or so, hollaback.
