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.

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".

fearless is easy to play? i should learn how to play it. is it in a special tuning or ...?

That live BBC concert from 1970 is brilliance too
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.
I've seen this, but I can't remember where, why, when, how

also search the same albums with "experience" which will pull up the double cd versions...you can zoom in and see the tracklists, loads of unreleased and live stuff. kind of overwhelming that PF are actually opening the vaults on things all of a sudden.

For a minute I thought maybe they were re-releasing albums as a Zaireeka type of thing..

what is this 'immersion' thing?
and I can't see the tracklists on the zoomed-in images, am I missing something?

I've been dying to talk about these for ages (my other half is connected loosely with the project) there's a lot of interesting stuff coming out, we even get to hear Stefan Grapelli on WYWH!

They must have kept the vaults pretty well screwed down over the years, I was not even aware that there was much unreleased studio material out there. am not aware of the existence of any bootlegs of it.
― ban this sick stunt (anagram), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 09:25 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah they never put bonus tracks on any of their albums. i guess they can make a lot more money doing it this way.

Would have been the perfect place for them to finally release the full Wall live footage but I guess Rog is still against that.

Ah well thats a shame.
It always frustrates me how little live in-concert film there is of prime 70s prog bands. I guess the technology wasn't quite there and the price was prohibitive.

Some amazing shit has surfaced over the last couple of years, the Harvested guys are pretty adept at sourcing, cleaning up and disseminating footage from old European Music shows or one off In-Concert performances.http://www.harvested.org/

And I'm hopeful that some material does get released in the future, especially considering EMI (like many companies) are going to have to get more creative with the way they release material, I reckon they could make a decent go of a PF DVD along the lines of the Led Zeppelin one from a few years back. It appears Nick Mason is the main custodian and motivating party wrt their archive, Gilmour is a lot less interested, and he's been collecting footage, so maybe one day!

― Per Yngve's having his brain out (MaresNest), Tuesday, 10 May 2011 15:32 (thirteen years ago) link
This is one of those bands that I don't know if I like or not, because they've been so overexposed that I've tired of hearing them. Kind of like trying to imagine if you would think "Stairway to Heaven" was a great song if you just heard it for the first time, and you'd never heard of the band who made it.
Like alot of us, I went through a brief PF phase in my late teens, mostly Dark Side of the Moon. Discovered Syd in college; still love his stuff, especially the early Floyd singles "See Emily Play", "Arnold Layne", and "Apples and Oranges". Saw one of their late-80s post-Waters shows - it was impressive but there was a definite feeling of playing off past glories from someone no longer in the band, despite Gilmour's impressive guitar prowess. I'll vote Classic even though I'm sick of most of their music by now.
― Lee626, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 15:56 (thirteen years ago) link
I have everything up to The Wall, but IMO all you really need is Piper, Meddle, Dark Side, Wish, Animals and The Wall.
― AaronHz, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 16:53 (thirteen years ago) link
And of course The Madcap Laughs and Barrett. Search also "Set The Controls for the Heart of the Sun" and "Jugband Blues" off Saucerful of Secrets.
― AaronHz, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 16:54 (thirteen years ago) link
Acoustic Sounds is also releasing the SACD of Wish You Were Here at the same time.
I see a very expensive late summer for myself.
― akm, Tuesday, 10 May 2011 17:11 (thirteen years ago) link
Obscured By Clouds is more interesting than Piper, Saucerful and Atom Heart Mother for me. Particularly because the songs "Burning Bridges" and "The Gold It's in the..." are peak material (for me) even though there is some weak material on the album.

i want to think "oh PF are just scrounging more money off me" but then I remember that the only PF thing I've ever purchased new (that is, not used) was A Momentary Lapse of Reason back when it was released. so I suppose I can buy these.

I read somewhere that one of the least recognized 80's albums is Pink Floyd's own personal favorite album from their discography... is there any truth to that? It might of been Momentary Lapse of Reason

jim keltner and carmine appice played most of the drums on that album, mason's parts got erased because mason apparently didn't think they were very good. wright was brought on as a session musican when the album was almost finished. either way it's not like you can really tell, and neither of them did very much on anything post - animals anyway.
