that's enough to justify them existing, but a lot of the rest, well...let's just say- they padded well.

By the way, what about that advert for Direct Live insurance that starts out with what is fairly blatantly a version of "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" which, jarringly and bizarrely, turns into the Direct Live tune at the end?

man Floyd is kind of a perfect Sunday band...started with Meddle this morning, and after an absolutely gorgeous day (and an afternoon in the park) I'm listening to Dark Side now...it's just like, ahhhhhhh (going into a nuts week too; take me away, Clare Torry)...

learnin things about this song on wikipedia- The second half of the song where Gilmour plays muted notes on the guitar over Wright's slowly building organ solo was inspired by the Beach Boys song "Good Vibrations".- The title "Echoes" was also subjected to significant revisions before and after the release of Meddle: Waters, a devoted football fan, proposed that the band call its new piece "We Won the Double" in celebration of Arsenal's 1971 victory, and during a 1972 tour of Germany he jovially introduced it on two consecutive nights as "Looking Through the Knothole in Granny's Wooden Leg" (a reference to The Goon Show; the phrase appeared in an episode titled "The £50 Cure")[5] and "The March of the Dam Busters", respectively.- Similar to the Dark Side of the Rainbow effect,[6] some listeners suggested that "Echoes" synchronizes with Stanley Kubrick's 1968 film 2001: A Space Odyssey when played concurrently with the final segment (titled "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite").- The 1973 George Greenough film "Crystal Voyager" concludes with a 23 minute segment in which the full length of "Echoes" accompanies a montage of images shot by Greenough from a camera mounted on his back while surfing on his kneeboard.

sparkle motion was your first dance to "echoes"? or "interstellar overdrive"?

GodDAMN. Nice to circle back and visit "old friends" now and then, I get so scattershot with my music at times. 'Fearless'..forget about that song but Gilmour's voice there is real joy
― VegemiteGrrl, Tuesday, 12 April 2011 01:01 (thirteen years ago) link
should be "I always forget about that song"

seems kind of ridiculous that the floyd haven't put out a live box set or something. there are some versions of "echoes" that are epicccccccccc.
― tylerw, Tuesday, 12 April 2011 02:17 (thirteen years ago) link
Fearless is awesome, and even more awesome because it is easy to play on the guitar!
Meddle is usually my fave PF album, even "Seamus".
― sleeve, Tuesday, 12 April 2011 02:22 (thirteen years ago) link
fearless is easy to play? i should learn how to play it. is it in a special tuning or ...?
