Happy Floyd Friday! Vol 501 **Evening Edition**

It's that Time where we show appreciation to the greatest band in all the land! Were you dressed properly for work today?

  • During the recording of Wish You Were Here, Floyd used a real EMS Vocoder to process the line “I’m all right Jack, keep your hands off my stack” in Have a Cigar.
  • Pink Floyd recorded more than an hour of music for Zabriskie Point, but director Antonioni rejected most of it, including a 16‑minute piece he dismissed with the words “too sad.”

To help end your Floyd Friday, I am leaving you with Pink Floyd's Take Off, Version 2 side two, track 11 of Devi/ation from The Early Years

  • The working title for Comfortably Numb was “The Doctor.” Early demo recordings from The Wall sessions show lyrics and structure that are drastically different from the final album version, as shown on the Immersion box set’s “Work In Progress”.
  • On some early CD pressings of The Wall, the insert notes list Comfortably Numb at 6 minutes and 22 seconds. When the CD was played into a player, however, it would show 6 minutes and 24 seconds (for those unfamiliar, CD's were this discs that would be able to hold your music on them. You could even burn your own CDs!)

To help end your Floyd Friday, and close out this album, and close out the final song from the regular studio albums, I am leaving you with Pink Floyd's Comfortably Numb side two, track 6 of The Wall
