The film is totally cool but the soundtrack is not Pink Floyd. The rejected PF soundtrack was released on the Early Years box and it was probably the biggest surprise therein. Culminates in Syd's most atonal guitar abuse on record while Rick plays 'Old McDonald Had a Farm'. I was grinning ear to ear the first time I heard that. It's an uncharacteristically dry recording and you can really hear how they'd fit on a bill with AMM

It's a long way short of AMM though! Syd and Rick acquit themselves reasonably well, especially Rick, but Roger Waters and Nick Mason are plainly not cut out for this improv malarkey.
― Waterloo Subset (Tom D.), Tuesday, 2 February 2021 14:49 (three years ago) link
That would be a ridiculously tall order tho, dontcha think?? It might be a kind of pop appropriation of AMM, I mean obviously it has nothing to do with the opacity of AMM, the blend of AMM. Quite the opposite, the bass sounds like it was plugged straight into the desk, the drums are right in your ear- and that's what's so surprising about it! There's no ambience, perfect separation. On an early pf recording! wtf??
Sure, Roger Waters couldn't improvise to save his life in those days, where it's called for he tends to fall back on stock phrases and recycled clicking noises. I swear he plays the same lick on nearly every track on PatGoD. Nick was at his best when he played it almost like he'd never seen a drum kit before.

hey does anyone here have a preferred link or links for articles/background on "Piper", aside from wikipedia?
― Überschadenfreude (sleeve), Friday, 5 February 2021 20:22 (three years ago) link
The best reference- although a bit outdated- is Random Precision by David Parker for detailed session info. Other than that, Julian Palacios's book which is apparently inspired by Jonathon Greene's 'Days in the Life', he talks to everyone in Syd's orbit and tries to put you in their time and place. Often successfully!
I didn't really care for the 33 1/3rd fwiw (barry cleveland? I don't remember)
Sorry this prob isn't hugely helpful as I believe you're looking for web resources.

Informative Yeeshkul thread on one-off, rarely played pieces
Could you guys point me to shows that contain unique or unusual performances ? Like, with songs that were known to have been performed only once or twice, or with different arrangements, or containing teases or primitive versions of other songs...I don't know if I'm clear enough, so here are two examples : - Cincinatti 1971.11.20, with the longest known Embryo containing fragments of what would become Breathe ; - Rainbow 1973.11.04 late, with a meandering 13 minute version of OBC and an abridged but thunderous WYI.

might've mentioned in another thread — an interesting reveal in Richard Thompson's new memoir is that he and Syd were distant cousins. Neither knew it until much later, but it still rules.

That's like the most fully arranged and most commercial song they recorded for the film and yet they didn't put it on the album ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Maybe it was a bit too poppy and reminiscent of the failed post-Syd singles?

Anybody else here heard the album David Gilmour made with The Orb in 2010? I've been listening to it this morning and it's some of the driftiest shit I've ever heard. Some parts sound a little like the quieter sections of Meddle, and there's a beat occasionally, but a lot of it is just endless synth haze with a little Gilmour guitar floating through as if it's playing in the next room.

lol Roger Waters wants so badly to be the Robbie Robertson of Pink Floyd, if Robbie Robertson bitterly doubled down on every bad thing anybody ever said or implied about him.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 1 June 2021 13:36 (two years ago) link
That said, the last Roger Waters tour ruled.
I bet the memoirs will be printed in the Gerald Scarfe font from The Wall lyric sheet.

He's going to restage "The Wall" (again) only instead of bricks it will be stacked copies of his book (whose cost will be tacked onto the ticket price).

Nick Mason sent copies of his book to the other members before publication; Waters sent it back with "BOLLOCKS" written all across the pages in red pen.

YouTube comment of the week:
DuckTalesWooHoo19872 days agoTrue Story: When I was a young man my band covered Comfortably Numb and we would always play it note for note and then do an extended jam at the end. There was a girl in the crowd that I had known my whole life and was WAY out of my league. However, after watching me play the solo to Comfortably Numb she decided I was hot enough for her. She is now my wife and we have 2 kids and have been married for almost two decades. Thanks Pink Floyd. LOL!
