Surprised to see today that the naked women with Floyd covers on their backs wall hanging was going for €99 locally. Looked like it was painted or printed on wood of some kind. Surprised to think that there was money around for people to be spending that kind of money on a wall decoration in the local cd shop. Thought we were in the middle of a recession.
So wondering if taht was the cd shop being ambitious or if there really were sales in that area happening with some frequency.

naked women with Floyd covers on their backs rule though

in my class on Tuesday there were two students (undergrads) wearing Floyd tshirts. I called them out and then said

PINK FLOYD RULES

with the professorial air of authority

Everyone ITT has listened to this Syd-era Floyd tribute concert (with a second set full of solo Syd) by Robyn Hitchcock and friends, right?

Glad they played Reaction in G. Been waiting for Roger to use that as an encore to the Wall.

dan selzer, Thursday, 12 September 2013 21:20 (ten years ago) link

Well, they didn't actually know what Reaction in G sounded like, so they just made something up and called it that! (Not sure why not... there's certainly enough boots of the tune...)

Haven't seen anybody mentioning it so far but there is a stack of to me peak period Floyd appearing on
Trader's den at the moment. All the early years up to about '72 plus some other stuff I'm less interested in.

Can't ever remember seeing a photo of Wright impressively moustachioed like that before. Bearded yes, moustache only no.

reminds me of HOOM

how's life, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 15:25 (ten years ago) link

They all look a bit waxy and weird, maybe tinkered with in Photoshop or similar. It's also kinda strange seeing them with very clean hair :)

Wow, I love that Relics ad, with the alternate cover too!

somebody is gradually upping all the live sets in several versions from 1970 & previously before to Trader;s Den.
I haven't checked out the difference between various different bootleg recordings of anything so far. I'm assuming some of them must be different recordings of the same set otherwise duplication would be pointless. Not sure what reputation individual versions have, presumably there must be a Floyd bootleg reviews page somewhere?

But they were pretty great back then, possibly up to '72 too. After that they weren't quite the same.
Other people had heard of them so subsequently they must have been poo? Don't think it's quite that but didn't seem quite so exploratory or something.

^ Waters outside a 1987 Floyd show.
