Pink Floyd, anyone?

[Dantepedro]

Does anny one have the Synphonic Pink Floyd CD?

Based on the Pink Floyd news sites, it will only be about a 4 song set. This is consistent with the set lengths of Live Aid (the reunited Led Zeppelin did 3 songs) and the fact that they just put the band back together and have only about 3 weeks to rehearse. My guess is they will try to play:

Us and Them (the general theme fits the event)
Money
Wish You Were Here
Comfortably Numb

One can only imagine the emotions in the room when Dave and Roger first meet up.

I'd think they'd play On the Turning Away for a relief concert

pink floyd is possily one of the greatest bands ever...however..my dad actually had the privalege to eat thanksgiving with them when he was touring with his band...and he said they were some pretty weird guys...like in a dark way

 

[ghost child]

have you heard the cover korn does?

 

[Our Sacred Honor]

NO!!! is it good?!!

 

[Mr.Cheese]

Yes. I am mad for old Floyd.

I'd agree, but that was a post-Waters song. There is no way Roger Waters would ever agree to play a song that was from after he quit the band.

True, but sad. Its an amazingly good song

Pink Floyd is not one band, but several. they were great when Syd was there, Piper at the Gates is fantastic. I think my favourite non-Syd album is probably Wish You Were Here.

 

[cygnusx1]

I love Floyd .

fav albums

1. Animals
2.Wish you were here
3.Dark side of the moon
4. The wall

The early stuff is too whacky for me . but I do like obscured by clouds........ some of the later stuff is great too.

 

[rebel_conservative]

I never really got the hype about Dark Side, yeah it was alright and there were some pretty good tracks on it, but it is far from even their best album

 

[imawebmonkey]

Fave album is Dark Side of the Moon. Fave songs are Time, Wish You Were Here, Another Brick In The Wall (Part 2), and Comfortably Numb.

 

[funyun]

My favorite Floyd tunes are probably "Childhood's End", "Set the Controls For the Heart of the Sun", "Echoes" and the two live cuts from the 1966-67 EP-- "Interstellar Overdrive" and "Nick's Boogie".

I've been eating up any bootleg Floyd recordings I can get my hands on recently. I've found all kinds of weird songs from ousted Zabriskie Point material to rare and unreleased early stuff. Nick's Boogie's one of em. Also found a song called Lucy Leave by Barret waaaaay back from like '65 or something. Rumors are it's a fake, but it's a darn good song either way.

|The lead guitar on both 'Time' and 'Money' is worth buying the album for alone!!

don't get me wrong, I like DSOFTM, it is certainly worthy of inclusion in everyone's record collection, I just don't think it is their best album.

 

[NonExistentOne08]

I agree. Pulse is the best I've listened to (out of DSotM, The Wall, WYWH, and Pulse). Granted, one of the reasons I like Pulse is the live performance of DSotM, but that's not nearly the only reason.

Nice! I've been hunting for boots myself for a while. The one I'm really after is the 04/14/1969 Royal Festival Hall gig ("More Furious Madness From the Massed Gadgets of Auximenies"). IIRC, that's the one where Nick Mason had at his disposal several octaves of tuned gongs-- I'm soooo curious to hear how they were used...

Ah yes. That's one of those shows with "The Man and the Journey" isn't it? Sounds like it's worth looking for.

Great, a Floyd thread.

I am a volunteer announcer on my local community radio station...and I've just secured an hour-long Pink Floyd show between 11pm and midnight on Wednesday nights.

I'm going to call it the Dark Side of the Moon (original hah?) and will intro the show with 'In the Flesh' and close it with 'Brain Damage/Eclipse'.

The second half of the show will be devoted to long atmospheric tracks like Echoes, Shine On and Set the Controls.

You should take the oppurtunity to showcase some of Floyd's lesser known stuff. The soundtracks, in particular.
