PINK FLOYD

was reminiscing with a high school friend, who we realized was the first person to turn me onto Pink Floyd, way back in 9th grade. Awesome right?
the album? Momentary Lapse of Reason

:(

LOL high school

but to be fair I still love "Learning to Fly" I don't care what anyone says :)

Having a listen to an MP3 of the Quad version of Wish You Were Here that somebody has mixed down to stereo.

I was expecting the mix to be different and it is in places, but bugger me if there isn't a lovely slide guitar solo in the title track instead of the original sung/played one, also Have A Cigar has a longer solo and Shine On Part XII has loads more Clavinet. Rules!

innnnteresting. more clavinet!
listening to this thing this morning: http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f90/pink-floyd-romayyad-sbd-152923.html
a cleaned up version of this classic boot:

I would wear none of those.

the one in the middle tho, people would be all twisting their heads around to see what it was and then they'd be like ohhhhhh.

If the rainbow goes down the back like a sash I'd think about it.

this is the floyd show i saw when i was a kid! wow.

I hope the show was better than the shirt.

pretty much equal. that show was a turning point in my adolescence where i went from being a teenager who would go see pink floyd at the rose bowl in 1994 to a teenager who would not do that. kind of like an episode of the wonder years, if you think about it.

Only in your case it's Jarvis not Joe Cocker.

haha yes!

I hope you sound like Daniel Stern now that you're in your 30s.

those tshirts look like headshop glow in the dark merch

ie grosssss

Even Pink Floyd can't make some things Rule by association.

this is the floyd show i saw when i was a kid! wow.

Cool! I was at the Rose Bowl show too

Minnesota man claims to be David Gilmour to get out of hospital bill.

He might've gotten away with it had he gone with Nick Mason instead.

lesson here is hospitals should have at least one diehard Pink Floyd fan in their employ.

"Name?"
"David Gilmour. I'm from the band Pink Floyd."
"And I'm Syd Barrett. Now, what's your ACTUAL name."

You know, even if you don't know what a pink floyd is, this guy should raise some suspicion.

pink isn't well

Pink Floyd are short.

he might have had more luck pretending to be Stellan Skarsgard

Going to make a link for you guys in the next day or so.

I'd never heard this gig before, the famous Yeeshkul! taper, listening on headphones though it sounds more like the guy is yelling 'Yeeshka', which according to the urban dictionary website is slang for *surprise surprise* marijuana.

I've got a soft spot for '73 gigs as they are kinda unusual, opening with OBC and WYI, Floyd sound like a different band altogether, almost John Carpenter-esque.

The Yeeshkul-guy is here again! making 'his own alternate show' on the mic during the tunings/applauses ...
see also notes for War Memorial.
a wonderful performance, audience very warm and excited ...
not a great upgrade in sound compared to my previous version, same level of hiss, they sound actually about the same way, but this is my favourite version at now.
the guy (likely taper) screams "yeeshkul!": at the end of When You're In (2 times) ; at the end of Echoes ; at the end of Money

VGOOD + +

Sheep testing

Interesting blog about vinyl bootlegs, lots of Pink Floyd examples:
http://theamazingkornyfonelabel.wordpress.com/

overall i like most of what they have done but i am not too crazy about atom heart mother or final cut but they were good without roger waters too.

we were listening to stuff from Waters' recent Wall tour this weekend...sounded pretty good to my ears. Still have never seen the Wall live. bucket list, imo

He came to town a year ago and I thought about going until I saw that tickets were FOUR HUNDRED GODDAMN DOLLARS.

whaaat? i saw the wall for like $75 last year

In fairness, it could be that the only tickets left were the expensive ones, because I would've totally gone for $75. But yeah, tried to buy online, "best available," "worst available," $400 either way.

Awes!

PInk Floyd finally coming to Spotify.. only if WYWH gets 1m streams...

http://musically.com/2013/06/14/pink-floyds-catalogue-launching-on-spotify-if-wish-you-were-here-gets-1m-streams/

cute concept, but as PF have had around £40 from me precisely for not being on Spotify, I wonder what the impetus was to make all their stuff available to stream for free.

perhaps they have reissued everything enough times, there is literally no one left who might buy a copy, but loads of people left who might stream a few albums.

EMI no longer exists, as we know, the back catalogue has gone over to Universal now iirc, so there will be more reissue malarkey slowly unfolding as they try to make back the cash, they never got around to the Early Years Immersion Box, which was kinda looking good.

When I was visiting my wife at the office last year I saw a nice CD Slipcase with the AHM artwork on it, big enough for maybe 4/5 CDs, nearly crapped myself. So hopefully UMusic will kickstart the reissue program for real.

Scratch all that, Warner Music are likely to be the new owners, not Universal, which is a better.
