PINK FLOYD

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

<3

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.

the firing mine?

Should I sell my LPs of the Wall & Relics because I rarely listen to them y/n

kind of funny how long it's probably been since i listened to The Wall ... 20 years? Yikes! I have listened to Relics more recently though, I think the CD might even be in my car as we speak!

sell the wall. keep relics.

sell relics. keep the wall.

hahaha thanks gang

Burn them both to appease the gods

PINK FLOYD RULES

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.

PINK FLOYD RULES

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"!

Well, the Floyd's regular bassist never had much in the way of chops so it's a good thing Gilmour stepped in.

I love the wall.

We threw Animals on one night not long ago and god it sounded so good

guys

PINK FLOYD RULES

VG otm

And by otm I mean

PINK FLOYD RULES

I made my buddy hook up his turntable when I went to visit him recently and the first record we put on was side 2 of animals and I’m here to tell you that Gilmour’s licks on Pigs RULE

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

agreed

The Wall is at least "Bob Ezrin's Roger Waters Experience"

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.

1971 Paris Theatre for comparison

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57YBtFcoWFg

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

Just received this, haven't listened to it yet:

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.

The Soft machine; The Pink Floyd

I often hear 'Les Pink Floyd' in France, whether they've heard of Syd or not.

Listen to the BBC In Concert recordings, they're always described as the Pink Floyd.

The Pink Floyd, the Soft Machine... the Cream!

TEAR DOWN THE WALL

XP The Who's FB shared a vintage club poster recently that showed their engagement at the venue bracketed by other dates by "The Taste" and "The Free" (but not "The Yes", who were opening for The Who).

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.)

Did we do a Moon v Bonham poll?
