I feel like this version is fine, the footage only gets really obnoxious when you get to "Echoes", iirc. The footage of them playing is so great though, Roger and the gong is all time.

maben is, i would say a... frustrating director.
the version i first saw and grew to love is the vhs version with the bits from the recording of dsotm (which i don't think were "faked"? maben might "fake" nick mason ordering pie at the studio cafeteria, because that's just how he is, but why would the band go along with it?)

The scorchingly passive-aggressive exchange between Waters and Gilmour about his 'toppy' guitar sound at the end of M Nobs don't feel faked.

Okay, pplains rules if only for witnessing this. What a beautiful aberration.
This sorta reminds me of hearing "Blitzkreig Bop" while in a dental chair earlier this year. Although It was undeniably the wrong venue for head-shaking reactions.
Hey, you know what would also rule? A supercut of live Travel Sequences.

My whole love of early Floyd is based around good bootleg recordings from 69-71, such a treasure trove.

i've been extremely into Animals the past few days. i've never really been much into PF but remembered it as being my favourite last time i'd tried to get into them years ago and was really blown away when i revisited it this week. it's their most proto-balearic record, the place where their sensibility fully aligns with what i like. "Dogs" is the greatest

Does anyone know the story behind how the first Tokyo concert on the '72 tour ended up on Japanese pirate radio?
I've been listening to the excellent Japan Chronicles box set and it sounds like a very good audience recording and not a soundboard, it's so weird that in Japan of all places someone booted the gig then broadcast it soon after, pity it's not complete, wonder if they got busted.

He is apparently working on a book of Syd's lyrics, trying to get as definitive as possible, using isolated vocal tracks.

I never got the feeling that they listened to other music much at all, aside from Roger's rabid Lennon-worship.

yeah, as a big fan of both I'd alway loved the idea of a healthy two-way communication, and thought at times, gee what would Pink Floyd make of Can's Bel Air, but I really think it was a one way thing. Can in the beginning I always thought of as Pink Floyd plus Velvets plus.... but through the late 60s/early 70s I've always assumed they didn't really listen to much of anything. I think they were somehow still considered a big "pop" "rock" act and maybe considered major rock bands as their peers, even if sonically they were outliers. Certainly during the wondering post syd/pre dark side era at the behast of Antonioni or Schroeder they were willing to draw from the Who or the Byrds or whatever, but I can't imagine they were sitting around listening to Amon Duul or Faust. Influence-wise, in addition to the Beatles and the other monsters or rock, they still hung out with Robert Wyatt and maybe had some exposure/influence to the artier sides of things that way?
Gilmour only became friends with Phil Manzanera years later because they were neighbors or something right? The idea of Floyd listening to Roxy Music in the 70s is charming but I don't know how likely.
