Also the same dog who says "I don't know, I was really drunk at the time."

Then asked for too much money and cover credit, and was replaced for "Dogs".

"Goodbye Blue Sky" showed up in an episode of Rick and Morty, and it occurred to me that I don't come across Pink Floyd songs that often in pop culture. I think a couple have showed up in Marvel movies recently. Didn't they sell their catalog recently? Or was that delayed?

I recently started watching Mythic Quest, and one episode had a large chunk of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond.” I thought, “wow, that couldn’t have been cheap,” and I struggled to recall other TV shows with Floyd songs in them (WKRP was all I could come up with). Then a week later I saw “Goodbye Blue Sky” in Rick & Morty and wondered the same thing you did, if they’d sold their catalog.

There was some Floyd in the Prime Suspect prequel series, and of course Linklater got "Fearless" into Everybody Wants Some!!.

Also: Dog's recent pro-Russia comments have jeopardized any possible catalogue sale at the moment.

Rog's

Thus inspiring Gilmour's worst song, "Rogs of War (and Men of Hate)".

Was it Interstellar Overdrive that’s in the first Dr Strange movie? Totally unexpected when it dropped in, works great.

"Astronomy Domine" was in Apollo 10 1/2.

Even though it doesn't actually count, I'm still posting the last scene of Zabriskie Point because it RULES

There's Hey You on The Squid and The Whale

"Echoes" and "Seamus" in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead

I want to say "Comfortably Numb" was in something high profile, but it was a Waters solo version? I *think* (too lazy to google) that the rights to the early stuff was sold, but the sale of the blockbuster era was put on hold while Waters wilded out (rhetorically).

The Watets "Comfortably Numb" was in The Departed, which led to it being on The Sopranos when Christopher was killed (he & Tony had been listening to a CD-R of the soundtrack).

God, I can <smell> this scene...

Pretty sure van Morrison was handling vox on the waters live version of comfortably numb we hear in the departed.

Yeah, it's Waters live at the Berlin Wall w/Van Morrison and the then-surviving members of The Band not named Robbie Robertson.

What an insane array of people on hand:

the mono version of saucerful of secrets is for sale on amazon, i would imagine this will be near impossible to get soon enough

"Echoes" and "Seamus" in Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead

I remember seeing this on PBS in 1991 or 1992 or something -- what a world that this is where it would first turn up on American TV at least! -- and "Seamus" pretty much starting off the movie and me being pretty impressed.

The great gig in the sky was in an early episode of futurama and i think a couple of other shows.

wow thank you for the tip, upper mississippi, order placed.

same!

"Great Gig" and "Time" were the ones used in Prime Suspect: Tennison. The whole soundtrack for that is pretty choice: Deep Purple, Roxy, Marley, Lizzy, Free, Sweet, Joni etc.

I think Breathe was used on the FX show Legion

about 18 shows from the 1972 tour just went up on streaming, including a Southampton Guildhall one.... will have to listen and see if the sound was always rotten in that room!

This is part of that copyright extension thing, right? Cool, let us know if you find any gems.

Yeeshkul is reporting that the Southampton gig is actually Wembley '74 (the radio broadcast)

i'm listening to the travel sequence from the southampton / wembley gig, and it has scratches on it so i assume they sourced from a vinyl boot?

anyway, does anyone know if they had the VCS3 on stage and the sequence was live or if it was on tape?

I was wondering if they added the scratches

Holy shit @ all those 1972 sets! My first instinct is to make a chronological playlist of every version of "Any Colour You Like" and listen to it all the way through. Should be a groovy way to figure out which shows have the best fidelity...

anyway, does anyone know if they had the VCS3 on stage and the sequence was live or if it was on tape?

According to http://sparebricks.fika.org/sbzine28/WrightGear-rev156.pdf (linked to from Wright's web page at https://rickwright.com/gear/ so it's about as official as you can get now). Wright was using a VCS3 and Synthi A as early as 1971 but not on stage until the 1973 tour.

thanks!

Is there a previously-known-to-fans, classic gig from this bunch they just released?

I was looking through these recordings and (at the risk of going a bit nerdy and Hoffman) they look shoddy, some have entirely the wrong information or dates, mislabelled song titles, and sometimes are even a different gig.

So I had a quick look through my drives and have uploaded some of the better quality '72 recs with good provenance that I have gotten over the years.

Apologies, I can't speak to what the rated performances are like as '72 is not really a much listened-to year of mine.

I'll leave the link up for a week or so.

Season Finale Series one.

lots of Pink Floyd references in this series, a main character called Sydney Barrett for one.

xp the 2/20/72 Rainbow Theatre date seems to be one of the better regarded bootleg, with relatively good sound

*bootlegs

Listening to "The Travel Sequence" from that show. This is new to me, a nice moody space-rock jam, completely different from "On the Run"

Thanks there Maresnest, happily am downloading all those.

You're very welcome, I think the Rainbow and Brussels recording may be the best, on the latter you have the added bonus of Rog doing his terrifying Scots shrieking during CwTAE.

thank you MaresNest! i took J. Sam's advice and started with the 2/20 date, currently bathed in flanger at the beginning of Breathe, feeling very good

Rainbow Theatre gigs are probably the best of these releases. Hollywood Bowl a close runner-up.

Sapporo, Japan also worth yr time, but I think there's a better recording on YouTube?
