In the "Live At Pompeii" film, you see Gilmour doing just that, recording a solo note-by-note...

Upon moving to the West Coast, and this may simply be the friends that my wife has, but it seems like EVERYONE grew up learning to play Pink Floyd, as opposed to my bluegrass/blues upbringing. So, whereas Hendrix, Cream, Bill Monroe, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and Tony Rice are common musical vernacular b/t my East Coast friends, all these Californians seem to immediately fall into Gilmour-era Floyd when in a jam setting. Somewhat frustrating b/c they aren't as tasteful and understated as Gilmour.
I actually haven't put on a Floyd album in a LONG time, and, upon reflection, I feel no need to. Still, they were relatively popular during my high school years, but, like Zep, Aerosmith, and BTO, I file them under the "Ah, yes....Floyd" category of memories.

For my money everything up to (and including) Wish You Were Here is good. Then Waters' misanthropy gets the better of their way and liking the Floyd is solely the preserve of over earnest slightly dim students.

i think, in the middle 90's they were Dud almost all the way among indie kids.(Piper was always exceptional).

I have always championed Meddle/Dark Side/WYWH/Animals to skeptical guitar-solo-hating indie kids and Barrett-only snobs. It's funny that now indie rockers are deciding it's ok to jam, especially since they do it so much worse than their forebears.

Echoes genuinely terrified me when I was younger, this is true. Especially when listened to in the dark.

Their huge '70s hit LPs barely register with me anymore. As for everything post '79, I don't wanna know.

wow so nobody here talked about how great those 2011 remasters sound? cuz man, I think they sound amazing, tons of space and detail and heft to the sound.
― sleeve, Friday, 7 October 2016 01:25 (seven years ago) link
also there's a new run of vinyl reissues, haven't heard any reports and don't wanna dive into the Hoffman forum or something to discover how they sound. the only one I need is Piper anyway.
― sleeve, Friday, 7 October 2016 01:27 (seven years ago) link
How many goddamn reissues does this band need?
― Mr. Snrub, Friday, 7 October 2016 01:39 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, I agree. That was the first time I bought any Floyd on CD, and they sound fantastic.

i don't know any pink floyd masterings that _don't_ sound fantastic. except they fucked up the mono on that piper box set a few years back, i guess.
― a confederacy of lampreys (rushomancy), Friday, 7 October 2016 02:04 (seven years ago) link
Did they? I thought it sounded fantastic, but it's the only mono Piper I've heard.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Friday, 7 October 2016 02:07 (seven years ago) link
well i think it was just one of the channels that was fucked up. since we're dealing with a mono recording anyway it's not exactly the end of the world, y'know?

Chris Blair from Abbey Rd caught a lot of flack from the Hoffman types for cutting off the end of Flaming, introducing some clicks and a bit of a botch noise reduction/EQ combo.
