And do you remember them playing Echoes and / or did you record the show or know anyone who may have recorded the show?

I'll always love it and I'll always consider it to be a sublime masterpiece and an absolute pinnacle of recorded music. However I don't think I've had the urge to actually play it for about 10 years now. I just listened to it that many times in the past that I just almost know it too well now. Like it has nothing to reveal to me anymore. I naturally occasionally hear songs from it here and there and it just kind of feels like I'm going through the motions with it it doesn't profoundly impact me in the way it once did. Has anyone else suffered from this?

Here’s a close-up of the headstock of Syd’s ’Esquire’, this would most likely be the most identifiable part of that guitar if it’s still out there

Just finished spinning these. Not the greatest recording but pretty good live performances. Overall I really enjoyed it & happy adding it to collection. What's everybody's thoughts?

Having owned and heard the entire discography of officially live recordings and listening to those live bootlegs especially from 1974-1981 it seems the official releases kinda of sanitizes and tones down how wild it could get at a Pink Floyd gig at the peak of their powers. As choreographed as ‘The Wall’ shows were those raw bootlegs show those shows still had that air of unpredictability that was common for that era from both band and audience. Honestly from those audience recordings it’s heartwarming to hear those enthusiastic cheers from an audience that actually had their minds blown in real time that is lost on the official live recordings. I also just love hearing those random Roger rants during those shows and not giving a fuck about what anyone thinks. Anyways just my observations going through the bootlegs.

Full disclosure:

I am NOT Gerald Scarfe. I am an artist who loves Pink Floyd. I don't know how that was not clear in my original post a while back.

https://www.reddit.com/r/pinkfloyd/s/SM2lY9vhb3

I got banned for “low effort” content. I didn’t know spending a couple hours painting is considered “low effort,” and I don’t understand why I got downvoted into oblivion.

Gerald Scarfe is an inspiration of mine. This is me sharing proof of that. I'm not taking anything away from him or his work. I feel like this community would appreciate more Pink Floyd art in general.

Got these ages ago when my feet were still growing. Sadly they grew out of them. I think I loved them so much that I didnt even wear them often, so plenty of life left in them.

They are 2008 Dark Side of the Moon limited edition Converse collab.

Ive seen a few online, these seem to be the best condition.

Please DM your price and location. Looking for upwards of £50. For safety I could always upload them to ebay and put a link here, not sure thats allowed. Maybe Mod can enlighten.

The opening track has Shpongle and David Gilmour on it. I was just giving it a spin to see what it was and I landed on a gem! Another track has The Crystal Method. I'm just stoked to find this. Huge Gilmour fan (and Waters too) and love Shpongle and The Crystal Method AND Alan Parsons of course!

When I hear the Mother guitar solo I don’t hear a Stratocaster, I hear Gilmour’s Lewis guitar. The solo has similar bite and attack as Brain Damage seen in the Pompeii footage. Has there ever been any confirmation for what guitar Gilmour used in the studio on the recording?

For context - not every recording in the 70s was on his black strat. For example, recently Seymour Duncan informed us Have a Cigar was on a specific telecaster Seymour had sold David so he could sound like Roy Buchanan. I love the Gilmourish website but it doesn't even list a telecaster being on the album so there are definitely a lot of unknowns out there we shouldn't just assume. Another that comes to mind is the new Animals remix lists in the jacket album credits as Gilmour as having played keyboards as well as guitar, bass, and vocals, it was assumed Rick Wright played the keyboards on Animals

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

Just found about this.

This day (plus one) 50 years ago, a man was taping WYWH on cassette on his stereo. He accidentaly recorded on tape one of the worst earthquakes ever happened in Italy in real time.
