PINK FLOYD

reminds me of HOOM

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!

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

boobs of the seventies were so magnificent.

Interesting in light of this.

lol

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.

haha!

New footage from Live At Pompeii debuts

Yesterday evening saw the world premiere of some newly discovered additional interview footage with the band, which will be screened again on Monday afternoon (October 14th), at 1pm at the Excentris Fellini, 3536 boulevard St-Laurent in Montreal. Tickets for the showing in two day's time of the 60 minute Le festin des huîtres (Chit Chat with Oysters) can be booked through Nouveaucinema.ca.

"Chit Chat with Oysters is the opposite of Live at Pompeii," summarised director Adrian Maben to the La Presse newspaper. "I shot these pictures with a camera light, just as if it is a family film. We see how the group worked. There are a lot of great, and trivial, conversations. On food. About friendship. On how to avoid conflict in a group. We find a group with a lot of humour. This is the hidden face of Pink Floyd."

On the official website, Adrian talks about the new footage: "In December 1971, Pink Floyd met at the small Europa Sonore studio in Paris to work on the multi track mix of “Live in Pompeii” previously recorded by Charles B. Raucher. Sound effects were added to the original tapes. David Gilmour and Richard Wright overdubbed their voices for Echoes, part I and II. Roger Waters and Nick Mason remained in the control room. In the middle of the day, the roadie Chris Adamson was sent to buy a few dozen oysters and beers at the nearby Brasserie Lorraine. During an improvised lunch the four members of the band answered questions about their music and the schemes they had devised to avoid infighting. They poked fun at the director and at themselves. Their hilarious, off-the-cuff, chit chat was unique because in those days the Floyd rarely talked about themselves to the media. This 16mm black and white film is an authentic portrait of the group as they were a few months before the release of the first version of Live at Pompeii. It’s a miracle that the recently rediscovered rushes are still undamaged. They have never been seen before with the exception of a ten minute sequence previously used for The Director’s Cut. The images were restored and edited with the help and support of the Cinémathèque française."

boy does Roger look like his mother.

I learned that Harry Shindler has a list and on Shindler’s list is my father’s name. I am moved to tears by that fact.

I mean can I just

I smell a new theatrical concept album!

there is a periodic low buzzing sound, maybe coming from the next apartment building over, which sounds eerily like the bass notes at the beginning of 'one of these days'

i keep waiting for it to kick in and rule, but it never does

feel sure that somewhere on ILX i've told the story of the flat i once lived in underneath somebody - who i don't remember ever seeing - who played Meddle loud, on a loop every night, so i tended to drift off to sleep and wake up to the sound of that closing section from "Fearless". happy days.

short sleep

Shine on, indeed! Jerusalem is the crazy diamond of our Jewish People!

The following notes were written by WRomanus and }{eywood based on the recollections of Rolf, Mike K., Ron C., Duckpont49, creamcheese and WRomanus.

Pepperland resided in San Rafael, CA, USA from September 1970 to the end of January 1972.
Prior to that it was known as Euphoria (though only for the summer of 1970) Bermuda Palms, and Lichfield's.
Pepperland was a Beatles-themed hall that featured a quadraphonic sound system designed by sound engineer John Meyer, who later built custom PA systems for the Grateful Dead.
It was 2 large rooms joined together with a partial wall separating both rooms.
This wall was opened up and later removed. The Room had a very low ceiling less than 10 feet high, creating excellent sound.
The support girders for the hall’s roof were adorned with painted portholes that mimicked the windows of the Yellow Submarine.
Even the sound system blended into the décor, with the speakers molded into huge fiberglass cones in which people would often be found sitting.
There was very poor ventilation. Lots of pot and cigarette smoke. No air conditioning. No HVAC.
Very cold in winter, too hot the rest of the time.

For Pink Floyd's shows there the band needed to use the ballroom floor to accommodate all of their gear, which took up two trucks to transport.
PF was set up against the back wall opposite the entrance on a very low riser.
The big Glyph horns were set up in the corners and there were Shure vocal columns set up every 20 feet or so along the walls in between.
There were slide projectors up in the metal rafters projecting fisheye photos of farm animals into the painted portholes on the walls in reference to the Atom Heart Mother cover.
A few steps up at the back of the performance space was another space with a trippy sculpture in the center, a female hand holding up a glowing sphere surrounded by "angel hair" and all under a plex dome.
There were no more than 500 people present, sitting on the floor in the center, with some folks sitting up inside the big Glyph bottom horns.

Pink Floyd were on tour promoting their new album, Atom Heart Mother, which had just been released a few days before.
They played there two nights, the 16th and 17th, returning to California for the fourth time in their career.
As with everytime they came to CA they felt at their best and their performance was really hot.
This time, though, was the first time they didn't play Interstellar Overdrive, an omission not lost to the Californian fans who considered it a certainty.

That first night there were many problems with the power.
The club's system was unable to deal with the multichannel sound system the Floyd brought, and several power outages marred the performance of Astronomy Domine.
Three more small outages occurred during the crescendo of A Saucerful of Secrets, but this time the band forged on and finished the song in spite of them, much to the fans' delight.

The show was originally recorded by Jay D. and Ron C. with a Sony TC-126 with Powered Single Point Stereo Microphone, using either Sony Red or Green cassette tapes.
They sat 10-12 rows back, left of center.
When the boys got back home, they instantly made two copies onto Scotch 7" Reel, one for Jay and one for Ron C.
The Master Cassettes were re-used for next day's Jethro Tull show in Berkeley.
They were usually never kept, due to the unreliability of cassette transport mechanisms at the time.

Thanks to this recording the show was soon famous amongst the fan trader circles and many bootlegs were released with at least some of these songs, especially the four attempts at Astronomy Domine.

Jay D. never traded this item so all copies around came from Ron C.'s reel copy which went rotten in the early 90's.
Rolf Ossenberg managed to get the Jay D. 1st gen reel copy which would no longer play back at all.
With the invaluable help of Mike K., the reel was baked in June 2011 (the morning after Roger Waters' show in Düsseldorf) and transferred from Revox A77 into Tascam US-200 to a 96KHz/24bit file.
Rolf was really nervous about baking the Scotch tape.
The issue is that the binder used was incorrectly made so it absorbs moisture.
This is believed to be a problem with all old Scotch/Ampex reels.
This moisture interferes with the adhesive so during playback you get lots of sticky gunk (yes, that is the technical term for it) collecting on the playback head and it impacts playback quality and even speed.
So you have to fix it. Rolf had bought a well-controlled oven specifically for this purpose.
They baked at 53C to 55C for 3-4 hours to drive the moisture out without damaging the plastic backing, let cool down to room temp, and voila' ... The tape plays back with no problems for a month or so.

oh yeah! that looks great... can't seem to get enough of this period.

That's because... wait for it... PINK FLOYD RULES!

when I was in s. carolina last month the backstage of this club had this magnificent painting. it ruled.

One of my FB friends has posed this question, why did Nick Mason sing the main vocal on Scream Thy Last Scream, anybody know definitively?

Oh, and I will happily get a link going for non-Dimers of the above, if anybody is interested then hollaback - crawfordiblair at gmail dot com

that's nick mason on Scream Thy? It rly sounds like Syd to me!

syd sings the "she'll be scrubbing floors on all fours" bit

That Pepperland show is great - each attempt at Astronomy Domine gets more and more furious.

Listening to the '72 show from Chicago on the Dark Side tour and this is great. The first thing in years that's made me excited about Dark Side again.

what does your wife think of the new paint job in the bedroom?

jealous btw

cosign

She was up for it, but she says the Halo 3 poster has to go.

wait wait whoooooa back up

you mean DARK SIDE is not enough to get you excited about Dark Side?????!

smdh

lol no, i mean i've probably heard it a bajillion times in my life and i got a little tired of it. was just like the last PF album i'd reach for, but now i'm all about it again.

and if yall start chiming in with 'yeah i got tired if it too yeah totally' I'm starting my own thread & no-one's invited

/jk

:)

pink floyd was my gateway drug into all kinds of ridic music, mostly on the new agey and keyboard and drone and echoing guitar tip. i listen to all kinds of music and i think i can trace it back somehow to the floyd.

*steeples fingers* tell me more abt ridic new agey keyboard drone music

Christmas Eve, I had dinner with one of my best friends and his girlfriend. I listened to Dark Side of the Moon for the first time. After the first side, I was very surprised that we were already halfway through, that it's only a single album.

We did the whole stupid Wizard of Oz thing 15 years ago, and one of my friends whom I thought had listened to every record ever recorded leans and says, "Huh, that Dark Side album wasn't what I was expecting." I'm incredulous, "What? THAT was your first time hearing that record? Here on the floor of Josh's house with Judy Garland on the VCR?"

He says yeah, didn't realize that there would be all those snippets of people talking.

lol Mr Veg and I did the Wizard of Oz thing not long after we met - accompanied by a box of lol whipits

I feel like I saw maybe 5 minutes of the actual thing and spent the rest of the movie having much better dreams about it

The Echoes/2001 thing works better and, Lord, only takes 20 minutes.

ridic new agey keyboard drone music could easily be another board on ILX.

.....a board I would regularly visit.

i spent two years of lolcollege living with huge stoners, so we did the Oz/Dark Side thing quite a few times. we also did the Wish You Were Here/It's a Wonderful Life one but i hardly remember anything about it other than it being a huge stretch.

I still love it, but I listen to DSOTM the least out of the middle period. However the parallel dimension early mix on the Immersion box is interesting to listen to.

as long as we all agree that PINK FLOYD RULES then any views on DSOTM are cool
