Got tickets for the LA show. Stoked!

couldn't log on early today and now all the tickets are kinda shitty and expensive and I'm not sure I'm gonna do it.

guys maybe i am drunk but so far i'm liking the roger waters-narrated version of l'histoire du soldat
ok, forget the "maybe", i am definitely drunk
twenty years ago i would've thought this was the most awesome thing ever

haha i'll venture a listen to that! I don't love the standard English version of l'histoire that much (the words, obv the music rules) so am curious to see how rw did with his own adaptation.

Man you know what I really wish one of the ten billion Floyd tribute bands would record "Seabirds" properly. That's a completely normal thing to wake up mad about in the middle of the night, right? Anyway it's eminently doable, there's a decent reference version in the "More" film, but the only people who tried are Langford and Kerr who did this languid folky version that is nothing at all like the vibe of the original recording.

Glenn Povey - the closest thing PF have to a Mark Lewishon figure - has just released an unofficial book about the band told through 100 objects.
It was fairly cheap and looked nicely done, so it came this morning, there are obvious things in there, Barrett's Mirror Disc Telecaster, The Azimuth Coordinator, but quickly flicking through I see curious things like a seventies skateboard, weird! Gonna enjoy this I think.

re above discussion on Relics and The Wall : they both RULE
I think I like The Wall much more than is cool these days. I did not realize until recently how much bass Gilmour plays. It's him on fretless bass on "Hey You"!
― L'assie (Euler), Thursday, 13 December 2018 12:57 (five years ago) link
Well, the Floyd's regular bassist never had much in the way of chops so it's a good thing Gilmour stepped in.

The last "true" Pink Floyd album, IMO. After that it was The Roger Waters Experience, then The David Gilmour Show.

Today I skipped doing work and spent the past two hours researching the lyric changes in "Fat Old Sun" because the version that's on the Nippon Connection bootleg from Trademark Of Quality:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5gwUa6qkqF0
is clearly not from the 1971-09-30 Paris Theatre, London show that was broadcasted on the BBC even though every bootleg guide says it is.
― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 14 December 2018 23:47 (five years ago) link
1971 Paris Theatre for comparison

― Elvis Telecom, Friday, 14 December 2018 23:48 (five years ago) link
gotta be honest aside from bbc '70 "fat old sun" sounds the exact goddamn same to me every time
also complicating things is that the recording is crackly, generated, and at the wrong speed
i do agree with you that it's obviously not paris theatre, but only because the applause at the end sounds different
for what it's worth my favorite version of the song is the montreux soundboard from 1970-11-21

i like sunflo'er but i don't like "bring the boys back home", i mean i guess it's better than another dark side of the moon cover but seriously the songwriting on this one is pretty weak, it coasts on ezrin's production
this might be interesting tho

'Vera' / 'Bring the Boys Back Home' is the weakest part of The Wall, IMO. I mean, I get that they only exist to serve the "plot" of the record, and thankfully they're both quite short, but that section of the record stands out to me in the worst way. As for 'Stop', there's really no need for that to be a track in its own right and should have really been merely an intro to 'The Trial', but I guess more songs = more publishing.

I knew someone who was at that Who show at the Marquee (December ‘68). He said that when Moon went into the double-bass-drum rolls in the midsection of “Shakin’ All Over,” the whole audience suddenly took two steps back from the stage, then exchanged “what the fuck was THAT?!” glances. He said Moon’s bass drums felt like someone was stomping on his chest full-force. (And the drums weren’t miked.)
