PINK FLOYD

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.

Fonk Plod

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

I don't even like WYWH, but I can't help but listen to it on spotify right now.

what the heck, let's make this happen ppl

I played it and boy, as a single on its own, that's a long fucking intro.

job done!

yay team

Shoulda been "several species".

Just noticed for the first time the "seagulls" from "Echoes" on "Is There Anybody Out There?"

Listening to The Wall in its entirety, something I didn't think I'd ever do again.

PFR.

Pink Floyd: Pandora's Internet radio royalty ripoff

Pink Floyd: Pandora's Internet radio royalty ripoff

Roger Waters, David Gilmour and Nick Mason 4:26 p.m. EDT June 23, 2013
Internet radio companies are trying to trick artists into supporting their own pay cut.

Great music can inspire deep emotions, and businesses have long sought to harness this power in order to make money. Nothing wrong with that – everyone deserves to make a living – but too often it leads to less than scrupulous behavior. The latest example is how Pandora is pushing for a special law in Congress to slash musicians' royalties – and the tactics they are using to trick artists into supporting this unfair cut in pay.

It's a matter of principle for us. We hope that many online and mobile music services can give fans and artists the music they want, when they want it, at price points that work. But those same services should fairly pay the artists and creators who make the music at the core of their businesses. For almost all working musicians, it's also a question of economic survival. Nearly 90% of the artists who get a check for digital play receive less than $5,000 a year. They cannot afford the 85% pay cut Pandora asked Congress to impose on the music community.

Last year, we joined over 130 other bands and artists to oppose Pandora's campaign to cut the royalties paid for digital radio spins. Widespread artist opposition stopped them last year, so this year Pandora is trying to enlist artists support for their next attempt at passing this unfair legislation.

Musicians around the country are getting emails from Pandora – even directly from the company's charismatic founder Tim Westergren – asking them to "be part of a conversation" about the music business and sign a simple "letter of support" for Internet radio.

Sounds good. Who wouldn't want to be "part of a conversation"? Who doesn't support Internet radio? What scrooge would refuse to sign such a positive, pro-music statement?

Of course, this letter doesn't say anything about an 85% artist pay cut. That would probably turn off most musicians who might consider signing on. All it says about royalties is "We are all fervent advocates for the fair treatment of artists." And the only hint of Pandora's real agenda is the innocent sounding line "We are also fervent supporters of internet radio and want more than anything for it to grow." The petition doesn't mention that Pandora is pushing the growth of its business directly at the expense of artists' paychecks.

Fine print is one thing. But a musician could read this "letter of support" a dozen times and hold it up to a funhouse mirror for good measure without realizing she was signing a call to cut her own royalties to pad Pandora's bottom line.

We've heard Pandora complain it pays too much in royalties to make a profit. (Of course, we also watched Pandora raise $235 million in its IPO and double its listeners in the last two years.) But a business that exists to deliver music can't really complain that its biggest cost is music. You don't hear grocery stores complain they have to pay for the food they sell. Netflix pays more for movies than Pandora pays for music, but they aren't running to Congress for a bailout. Everyone deserves the right to be paid a fair market rate for their work, regardless of what their work entails.

We're not saying that the music business is perfect or that there is no room to compromise. Artists would gladly work with Pandora to end AM/FM's radio exemption from paying any musician royalties – a loophole that hurts artists and digital radio alike.

Other changes and compromises may be possible as well. The open letter to Pandora that we signed last year said, "Lets work this out as partners" and that's what we should do. But tricking artists into signing a confusing petition without explaining what they are really being asked to support only poisons the well.
