The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

[ObscuredByClouds]

best song by PF, time

[robo2448]

I already posted them, but CN, WYWH, and Time. Mother is the most underrated though, fantastic song.

[lunch998]

Mine are Hey You, Dogs, Sheep, Astronomy Domine, Interstellar Overdrive, a lot others.

[Six Foot Revolver]

List of bands playing at Live 8
Muse and Pink Floyd are the only bands there I would actually want to see


My favourites which are just off the top of my head so probably wrong are:
Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun
Money
Comfortably Numb

[Flaminghotchino]

I think The Trial is a very underated song..

Very underated indeed.

[magicbus]

I love The Trial. It has the creepy vocals, which turn even creepier when the judge and "the wall' riff come in. What a great song.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

I don't really like the Trial, just because sometimes Floyd really creeps me out. But it's cool.

The creepiest song on "The Wall" is easily Goodbye Blue Sky, or Is There Anybody Out There? just because those songs have creepy vocals.

Especially Goodbye Blue Sky.

[JonG]

Is There Anybody Out There? freaks me out. Always have to hit forward on that one.

[snorfledumpkins]

I don't really like the Trial, just because sometimes Floyd really creeps me out. But it's cool.

The creepiest song on "The Wall" is easily Goodbye Blue Sky, or Is There Anybody Out There? just because those songs have creepy vocals.

Especially Goodbye Blue Sky.
For goodbye blue sky, i'm not quite sure what band it's by, i think rolling stones or something not sure, but it's like goodbye ruby tuesday, it sounds EXACTLY like goodbye blue sky only when they say "goodbye ru-". I love the guitar in is there anybody out there, but i tend to hate when he says, "is there anybody out there" just because it's said all airy.

[snorfledumpkins]

I think The Trial is a very underated song..

Very underated indeed.
I don't enjoy the trial too much, just because it creeps me out like no other, but i think the division bell is an extremely underrated album by many pink floyd fans, but it still gets the appreciation it deserves by some of them.

[Lateralias]

I don't enjoy the trial too much, just because it creeps me out like no other, but i think the division bell is an extremely underrated album by many pink floyd fans, but it still gets the appreciation it deserves by some of them.

Division Bell is underrated. High Hopes is a wonderful track.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I love The Trial. It has the creepy vocals, which turn even creepier when the judge and "the wall' riff come in. What a great song.

123. Pink Floyd seemed to actually take the term "Rock Opera" literally with that song.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

best song by PF, dogs

There, I fixed it.

[Riva]

More is such a fantastic album, especially the first side of the tape (tape lol) with Cirrus Minor and Nile Song and Cymbaline and Up The Khyber. Great stuff.

[moaner]

I don't like "mother" at all. The wall for me is a very average album.

I also think sheep is easily the worst osng on animals, and don't get what people see in it.

My favourite floyd songs are probably pigs (3do), a saucerful of secrets, shine on (full song) and maybe echoes, i dunno. i haven't listened to echoes in a while.

[Walrus Gumboot]

Division Bell is underrated. High Hopes is a wonderful track.


I've always liked it, but then again, I was 6 when it came out

[moaner]

high hopes is a good song.

[slowhand]

Last night I heard The Nile Song for the first time... that's an awesome song!

I also heard Vegetable Man and Take Thy Last Scream, both awesome Syd songs.

[robo2448]

high hopes is a good song.

The live version's good. I didn't like The Trial at all the first time I heard it, and I still don't really like it, but it's growing on me.

[BlackHole]

uh, whats this about needing a bassist? for a cover? of which song? i'm a bassist and i love floyd, i offer my, somewhat meager, services.

Be warned, though, my recording equipment is crap (basic computer mic, but i'll see what i can do).

Dont worry, i can take rejection well.

[Riva]

No, no. We need bassists like Munky_Magik needs a girlfriend. I'll be happy to sign you up in the official Pink Floyd record archives (if it actually existed). Seriously though, we're not sure which songs we are doing, but I'm going to be trying out vocals on Nile Song, Wish You Were Here, Goodbye Blue Sky, and maybe others later today.

[BlackHole]

uuh, cool? (im hoping you said im in, but this munky_magic fella could be a player for all i know...).

Anyways, yeah, a little warning about which songs would be great, gives me some time to brush up on the ol' floyd (not that I know of any huge rush or anything, but still...I'm guessing sooner's better than later)

[ledpoisoning27]

I got PATGOD, Meddle, WYWH, DSotM, Animals, and the Wall. What should the next album I get be. btw, how is the second album of Floyds, where Sid is on a few songs.

[ledpoisoning27]

Division Bell is underrated. High Hopes is a wonderful track.
But its doesn't have their tone deaf bassist and singer in it. :upset:

[RichardCranium]

I heard pink floyd is getting back together?

[Big-Bird]

I heard pink floyd is getting back together?

Yes, for one night to play a 20 minute set. No tour.

[Scoot]

Floyd is awesome to relax to, especially Wish You Were Here.

[Kingofdudes]

Keep Talking is my favorite song on TDB. The lyrics may be meh, but the flow of the song is just so cool.

[RNR]

Floyd is awesome to relax to, especially Wish You Were Here.

Yes, Wish You Were Here is a good chilax album. Same with darkside. Not so much The Wall though.

[lunch998]

It's interesting that so many people relax to Dark Side of the Moon, when it's about a person going insane. The plot doesn't seem like something to relax to.

[Flaminghotchino]

man I just got animals yesterday.

Why Wasn't I informed about how awesome it is earlier?

I've known about pink floyd my whole life.. but didnt REALLY get into until about 3 or 4 years ago..

I'm kinda interested in their older stuff a little more.. anyone have an opinion on obscured by clouds, or Atom Heart Mother?

[lunch998]

Obscured By Clouds is great, I think. Very underrated. Atom Heart Mother is interesting to say the least, sometimes a bit too experimental, but still good.

[Flaminghotchino]

^ thank you.

[RNR]

It's interesting that so many people relax to Dark Side of the Moon, when it's about a person going insane. The plot doesn't seem like something to relax to.

Yes, while it is about insanity and has some pretty dark content, Floyd did all of this in a very soft, beautiful easy listening way ;)

[lunch998]

Once I fully understood the plot (some thanks to the lyrical analysis in this thread), I could never relax to it.

[MalcolmYoungRock]

Don't even listen to the words.

Listen to the composition and the music and it really helps you relax.

[Jovian]

Animals is a great album.... Pink Floyd at their peak. Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall are the best Pink Floyd albums. :cool:

[Flaminghotchino]

Yeah Wish you were here is the first one I heard, and my personal favorite.

But PATGOD, DSoTM, and Animals are definately amazing..

The Wall is pretty good too. I'm just a little.. "used" to it..

[robo2448]

Obscured By Clouds is great, I think. Very underrated. Atom Heart Mother is interesting to say the least, sometimes a bit too experimental, but still good.

Yea that sums it up. Atom Heart Mother is pretty good, but doesn't compare with any of their best stuff. And Keep Talking is my least favorite song on Pulse. I haven't heard the studio version though.

[Whale and Wasp]

I got PATGOD, Meddle, WYWH, DSotM, Animals, and the Wall. What should the next album I get be. btw, how is the second album of Floyds, where Sid is on a few songs.
actually i got the album from the library.....the only song that has credits on it by syd is jugband blues

as for the album, i dont know, :upset: there wasnt any cd in the case :upset: :upset: :upset:

[MalcolmYoungRock]

as for the album, i dont know, :upset: there wasnt any cd in the case :upset: :upset: :upset:

Ouch.

That really bites.

[lunch998]

Don't even listen to the words.

I don't need help relaxing, it's not relaxing I have trouble with.

[moaner]

"a saucerful of secrets" has a couple of OK songs, several bad ones, one good one, and one truly great one.

the latter 2 being jugband blues and a saucerful of secrets respectively.

[snorfledumpkins]

Yea that sums it up. Atom Heart Mother is pretty good, but doesn't compare with any of their best stuff. And Keep Talking is my least favorite song on Pulse. I haven't heard the studio version though.
Keep Talking is a great song, one of my favorites, i don't even know why, it seems really "cool".

[Shazzam]

Pink Floyd LaserSpectacular tomorrow!!

I can't wait

[robo2448]

Keep Talking is a great song, one of my favorites, i don't even know why, it seems really "cool".

I don't even know why I don't like it, maybe I need to lisen to it again.

[Walrus Gumboot]

"Hey, you know that Pink Floyd song? You know.. the one where there's this guy, and he goes crazy?"*



*Rhetorical question

[White_heat]

Pink Floyd LaserSpectacular tomorrow!!

I can't wait
I went to that, it was preety cool, considering I only paid $15 to get in.
It was entertaining

[standard]

wait, they stop at detroit tomarrow.

i wish i could go.. i hope this comes back around, that looks awsome.

whereabout in michigna do you live shazzam ?

[magicbus]

Pink Floyd LaserSpectacular tomorrow!!

I can't wait

Dude, if I went I would see you there. My brother was going to go, but I don't think he is anymore.

[Shazzam]

At the DTE in Michigan?

[Shazzam]

whereabout in michigna do you live shazzam ?

Plymouth, it's in the southeast.

[DeusExMachina]

Keep Talking is my favorite song on TDB. The lyrics may be meh, but the flow of the song is just so cool.
My favorite song on TBD is probably High Hopes. Just amazing stuff. I'd say it's right up there with some of the best tracks they ever released.

[Grant]

I always liked Marooned and Poles Apart. My favourite on A Momentary Lapse of Reason is easily Sorrow, the rest of that record is trash.

[robo2448]

I always liked Marooned and Poles Apart. My favourite on A Momentary Lapse of Reason is easily Sorrow, the rest of that record is trash.

Learning to Fly is good too. I agree with Deus about High Hopes.

[guitarded_chuck]

I like On The Turning Away, one of the only songs post-Wall I like.

[magicbus]

At the DTE in Michigan?

I don't know where it is at, but yea, in Michigan. I live in Troy.

[Dragon_Prince]

I finally got DSOTM but on LP, I don't know how you call that EP or something,b ut I'm happy :D

[Riva]

I just saw a documentary on TV discussing the life of Syd Barrett, focussing on his time with Floyd. It was actually very involving, and quite informative for a 1 hour show. They interviewed every member of Floyd, and I can safely say that only Gilmour has aged well. :p

They also showed tons of footage, including the tape a friend made of Syd's first tripping experience.

It was very good, and if you get the chance to watch it, go for it. BBC - Syd Barrett and the Pink Floyd Story.

[xAzagthothx]

i dont know if this has been discussed, but what do you guys think Pink Floyd will play at Live 8?

on the floyd site, Waters says something about how awesome it is for the band to get to play again, if even a few tunes....

so... this is either him saying that even if they only played a few tunes, it would still be awesome, or... theyre only going to play Money and Comfortably Numb.....


i, for one, hope they bust out ANIMALS... THE floyd masterpiece

[snorfledumpkins]

I got a question, why is it, that on meddle, echoes is 23 minutes, while on the best of pink floyd it's like 16 minutes??

[snorfledumpkins]

I always liked Marooned and Poles Apart. My favourite on A Momentary Lapse of Reason is easily Sorrow, the rest of that record is trash.
That circus music in poles apart creeps me out so much. I hate clowns.

If they played Dogs, I would commit suicide for not being there. But they will most likely not be playing it. I heard they are doing a few songs from DSotM, and most likely Comfortably Numb.

[magicbus]

For anyone who lives in Detroit, I heard Bono talking about Live 8 on the radio, and it sounded like they'll be broadcasting it on 106.7. The concert's on July 2nd, but I'll try to confirm the broadcast.

[RNR]

Pink Floyd would actually make the mediocre lineup that they would have otherwise good :)

[thunderzstruck]

It's interesting that so many people relax to Dark Side of the Moon, when it's about a person going insane. The plot doesn't seem like something to relax to.


It is? I always thought of the errors of humans.

Care to give your explanation of DSOTM?

[RNR]

It's common knowledge that DSOTM is about insanity.

[Otherside]

DSOTM is about life, it's not necesarily restricted to the insanity that is breifly mentioned in one song.

[thunderzstruck]

That what I thought

[thunderzstruck]

It's common knowledge that DSOTM is about insanity.


Well Time, Money, and Us and Them don't seem to be about insanity.. :confused:

[Walrus Gumboot]

Insanity+Musical Talent = :thumb:

[insertusernamehere]

Ha. Not to be off topic or anything, but my fav Pink Floyd song ever is Wish you Were Here.

[lunch998]

Well Time, Money, and Us and Them don't seem to be about insanity.. :confused:

My understanding was the Time and Money were part of life that can drive people insane. Us and Them (I thought) was about paranoia or something related. But I always perceived the album as being about life and it driving someone insane.

[eCow]

I know that this has probably been posted thousands of time, but the forum is long and I don't want to look through all 200 pages...so anyways, what is the deal with the prism on the dark side of the moon album/cd cover. I don't get what it has to do with anything...actually, a lot of floyd's album covers baffle me...

[eCow]

Syd Barrett was the best member of the band.

Too bad he ****ed up his life with drugs.

I know this is extremely late, but I think that the drugs influenced him to create his twisted, creepy, and genious (Yet highly addictive) lyrics. I just cant get enough of "Bike", and you know that that song was not created by a sane man

[magicbus]

Strom Thorgerson, the artist who created the cover, was talking about it on the DSOTM dvd. It represented the Floyd's light shows, and the pyramid was picked for a reason (I forgot, does anyone else remember?). They also wanted to keep it simple, so they chose the prism design.

EDIT: Also, check this out.

http://www.brain-damage.co.uk/news/0505012.html

It's not out yet though.

[Mr. Black]

I heard that Pink FLoyd are Re-forming to do Live 8, shud be sik, Best Pink FLoyd song is Money, Time and Echoes

[standard]

Pink Floyd is known for having some of the most bizarre album covers. In a way.. But they all mean something.

Like WYWH, the guy on fire shows a guy getting ****ed over in a deal... Refer to Have A Cigar.

Ummagumma is my favorite album cover by far. I love how in the picture it shows the band members, in the same spots, but different people.

[RNR]

Well Time, Money, and Us and Them don't seem to be about insanity.. :confused:

Us and Them is about war, which drives many people insane (FUBAR). The lyrics to time explain exactly how time can drive you insane. And well, money. Money is less clear but couldn't money drive you insane?


+lets remember the many people who were interviewed for the albm and asked to comment on insanity. Their voices are in the background at times.

+Dark side of the moon is a metephor for insanity, I believe.

but yes, it can also be about how life can make you insane.

oh ok i understand now. cool

Yes, I have watched Saving Private Ryan but i never got it. What the hell does Fubar mean?

I watched it recently, very moving and very good.

I was amazied that

a. dave and roger appeared on the same DVD

and even moreso that

b. dave had something good to say about roger... "Roger summed it up perfectly with "Now there's a look in your eyes... Like black holes in the sky""

[moaner]

+Dark side of the moon is a metephor for insanity, I believe.
.

On the album it certaintly is.

"If your head explodes, with dark forebodings too, i'll see you on the darks ide of the moon"

If we think too hard about the ultimate consequence for everybody (ie head explodes- everybody is a difficult concept to grasp)- death- we go mad.

[magicbus]

oh ok i understand now. cool

Yes, I have watched Saving Private Ryan but i never got it. What the hell does Fubar mean?

It means "F'ed up beyond all repair". Where did Saving Private Ryan come from? :confused:

[Shazzam]

Yeah, 106.7 The Drive kicks ***.

My friend also said 94.7 WCSX will be broadcasting it too but I'm not sure.

It must mean something that Floyd is playing together for their first time in a long time on my birthday (July 2).

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

It means "F'ed up beyond all repair". Where did Saving Private Ryan come from? :confused:

Actually, it is "F*cked Up Beyond Any Recognition"

[magicbus]

Actually, it is "F*cked Up Beyond Any Recognition"

That's it, my bad.

Shazzam, how was the laser show?

[robo2448]

It must mean something that Floyd is playing together for their first time in a long time on my birthday (July 2).

:eek:

I believe CBS or ABC or NBC is broadcasting it on TV.

Is the concert outside or inside? Because if it's inside, I want to see a light show.

[slowhand]

A little late but... better than never, huh?

For me DSOTM is a concept album about... life. What is the first thing and last thing that appears through the speakers? A heartbeat. At the beginning it stands for birth and at the end for death. And it all goes around it. Who of us here doesn't want money and would go to the extreme to get it? Who here fears, and ironically, want more time to spare? Who hasn't thought that you might go insane? Who feels he has been manipulated?

You can even see something about religion on Breathe (Reprise) "Far away across the field, the tolling of the iron bell calls the faithfull to their knees, to hear the softly spoken magic words."

It all deals with everything that involves being alive, express clearly on Eclipse with mentioning actions we all do.

In conclusion DSOTM is how Roger Waters perceives life.

... And does anyone know at what time will Pink Floyd be on stage? MTV and other MTV related networks are going to broadcast the show live... I just want to know when to tune in.

[thunderzstruck]

It means "F'ed up beyond all repair". Where did Saving Private Ryan come from? :confused:


They mention fubar in it and the translators like I can't find that in the german dictionary. And he's all confused. That's were I first heard the term and I thouhgt maybe they made it popular or something...

[magicbus]

Yea, but I mean what does it have to do with Pink Floyd? Not that I care that you brought it up in here, I'm just curious.

I really have no idea... :lol:

[Shazzam]

The lazer show kicked ***...

It was alot like the Pulse concert; lot's of insane lazer's and lights with animations on a big screen in the background. Comfortably Numb easily took the take.

For a few moments I actually thought I was at a Floyd concert.

[Shazzam]

I actually bought 3 new Floyd DVD's this week...

David Gilmour in Concert - Probably the best DVD I own, he plays the first half of SOYCD just on acoustic, and then is joined by a small orchestra type dealy for the second half. The only downside is they only play like 5 Floyd songs out of around 14, but that includes two different Comfortably Numb's.

Live In Pompei Directors Cut - Seen the original several times, and this is the same thing, except for some small clips of PF making DSOTM in the studio.

Pink Floyd: The Critical Review 1975-1994 (not the exact title)- I havn't even heard of this before I bought it, but it doesn't matter, it blows. It's just some random journalists babbling about all of there albums and performances, contrary to what the cover said. I'm getting ready to take it back as we speak.

[slowhand]

I want to buy the Syd Barrett one. Is it any good?

[DeusExMachina]

Does anyone have the link to that Pink Floyd radio site where they streamed bootlegs? If you do, please give me a link, I'll love you forever.

They really need to make a Pulse DVD.

[slowhand]

Oooh, I've heard the 1972 bootleg of them playing an early version of DSOTM and I think it's fantastic, specially the instrumentals on it.

[Otherside]

They really need to make a Pulse DVD.

You can buy it on amazon.

[Rothmans]

So what happend to the song meanings?

The David Gilmour DVD is sick. I love it so much.

[Kingofdudes]

You can buy it on amazon.

Nonononononono. That isnt official, it is just the VHS version ripped and put onto a DVD by someone. They are still working on the official one(It has been delayed several times). When they release it, it will no doubt kick ***.

Once I buy my new computer, I will upload quite afew PF bootlegs to the this thread. YSI doesnt work anymore on this computer.

[standard]

Someone was looking for a link to the radio that plays Pink Floyd bootlegs, just open winamp, go to file > winamp radio, and search for pink floyd.

[TerryThorne]

Ummagumma is my favorite album cover by far. I love how in the picture it shows the band members, in the same spots, but different people.

I always thought that the burning man represented Barret, but I guess that other makes more sense

[DeusExMachina]

Gilmour, definitely upload bootlegs. I will heart you forever. By the way, I like the old school icon. Any particular reason for the change?

Does anyone have a recording of Come In Number 51, Your Time has Come?

Standard, thanks for the info about the Pink Floyd radio thing. I don't think that's the same site I'm looking for, (I have a link to the site at my home, but I'm in Iowa for the next week or two) but I'll definitely check it out.

[Riva]

I tried uploading the Pink Floyd - Live At Club Beat bootleg I have, but it failed halfway through. Stupid YSI!

[standard]

I was just thinking, wouldn't it be amazing if Waters wrote a book about the meanings of all his music?

I for one, would definatly read that.

On the note of books, has anyone read 'Inside Out'? I was thinking of buying it.. Is it worth it?

[another guy]

What do you think? What gave them their universal appeal? Was it their ability to seamlessly infuse new rock and roll formulas with traditional jazz (most of Us And Them) and blues (Seamus)? Has anybody else ever tried to really pinpoint the quality that makes them such a classic?

[herbalH.erb]

They bore me, but I guess they made some pretty good stuff, and the really good stuff like that never stops being that good :)


i guess its that they were really the first truely prog band to go big?i dunnop

5. Before making a thread, check the forum to make sure there isn't a similar thread already. The search function works so use it. There are several ***OFFICIAL*** threads, a list of links is provided below. Post anything dealing with these bands in their ***OFFICIAL*** threads. Metallica for example has an official thread. If you post anything dealing with Metallica outside their official thread it will be considered spam. If you see several threads dealing with a particular band, don't start a new thread with a similar topic. For example. If you see an Alter Bridge thread talking about their new CD, don't start a new thread about a song on the CD, post in that thread.

I think they're sweet.

At least you aren't a complete douchebag. Like honestly, why do you have to be like that? Are you angry? Seriously, why would you be so mean to some random guy over the internet for liking a band more than you do?

[Sue Johanson]

Maybe 40 years at the most? I'd hesitate to call them timeless. Come back in another forty years.

[A_Tossed_Dwarf]

Because drugs are timeless.

[White_heat]

I hate it when people put Pink Floyd down as just a druggie band when they barley used drugs.

Sorry. /end thread.

[MAthiAS]

I don't.

[White_heat]

Good point, but that was just a small phase that was totally diffrent from the rest of their career.

They're pretty boring aside few songs like good bye blue sky, another brick in the wall, etc.

But **** Led-Zeppelin, you're a friggin time bomb. Go cool off.

[TojesDolan]

They didn't make music for the present. they made music for the future, That's why.

[tuck down torso]

Because they don't wear watches. :D

[-=Led_Hed=-]

They had nothing better to do with their lives, so they decided to make wicked music, same with Zeppelin, Beatles, Clapton, they're all timeless becauses they gave their souls to music and knew what people wanted to hear...

Just merged a thread into this one, at Riva's request. The thread merged was this post;

What do you think? What gave them their universal appeal? Was it their ability to seamlessly infuse new rock and roll formulas with traditional jazz (most of Us And Them) and blues (Seamus)? Has anybody else ever tried to really pinpoint the quality that makes them such a classic?

Hope it doesn't cause too much confusion.

I think it is the fact that they could bring together a diverse range of musical tastes and abilities, and craft something unique and meaningful, but ambiguous enough for generations to explore and decipher their message.

all pink floyd fans must read this, i am quoteing this from the Dub Side of the Moon, which is the dark side but reggae artists redid their songs but anyway you must read this, its the deepest **** ive ever heard:

While each of the four Pink Floyd albums between 1973 and 1979 transformed huge themes into rousing studio experiments, Dark Side of the Moon stands as the most resonant- most likely because the record examines the human condition as skillfully as any anthropologist could. Starting and ending with a heartbeat symbolizes life, the narrative moves on the path from birth ["Breathe"] to death ["The Great Gig in the Sky"] and eventual spritual resolution ["Eclipse"] all while exploring the basic forces that shape mankind: time or lack thereof ["time"], movement ["on the run"], possessions ["money"], conflict ["us and them"] and madness ["brain damage"].

I agree, but I think that Great Gig In The Sky is more of a fear of death, which leads to the hoarding of money, the seperation from society, and the inevitable descent into madness. Another thing to support this is it follows Time, which suggests the man has just realised how short his life really is, and begins to have morbid thoughts.

It could also be said that Breathe => GGitS was Life => Death, and that Money => Eclipse was about the things that happened inbetween. I don't think that's what the article meant, although I could be wrong.

I suppose, I guess I am more inclined to believe the linear story telling that Waters favours, such as The Wall. (Although the flashbacks come thick and fast at times).

i dont think that the great gig in the sky is fear of death because it would be more eerie and trippy like brain damage and the laughing, its creepy but it has grown on me, i love it

Well, Goodbye Blue Sky is about an apocalypse of the mind, yet it is probably one of Floyd's most beautiful songs. The guys liked to juxtapose disturbing thoughts with flowing, picturesque music, obviously for some artistic reason. :)

Does anybody know if I can catch the broadcast here where I live? I think its going to be on the radio, but I'd obviously rather watch in on tv.

Yeah, same question bus has.

Is it on TV?

If so,what channel?

[robo2448]

I won't be able to see it :upset:. I'm going to Fire Island tomorrow- an island off the coast of NY. My cousins summer house there doesn't have a tv or radio that I would be able to use :upset:

Does anyone have the link to that Pink Floyd radio site where they streamed bootlegs? If you do, please give me a link, I'll love you forever.


I have it at home, but i'm at my cottage right now.

I'll give the link on Monday when I get back.

[moaner]

I'd say that GGitS was about fear of dying- because in Brain damage, when the reasons for his amdness are explained, he says

"If your head explodes, with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark sid eof the moon"

If you think about how you're going to die, and really truly think about the consequences, you won't be able to cope, you'll go mad.

[TerryThorne]

And GGitS has the whisper "if you hear this whisper then you are dying". Also I think the fact that their is just vocalizing in the song represents that words can't describe the fear of dying.

[ATM]

I believe it's going to be shown on MTV.

Hey, that's kind of what I said a few pages back:


A little late but... better than never, huh?

For me DSOTM is a concept album about... life. What is the first thing and last thing that appears through the speakers? A heartbeat. At the beginning it stands for birth and at the end for death. And it all goes around it. Who of us here doesn't want money and would go to the extreme to get it? Who here fears, and ironically, want more time to spare? Who hasn't thought that you might go insane? Who feels he has been manipulated?

You can even see something about religion on Breathe (Reprise) "Far away across the field, the tolling of the iron bell calls the faithfull to their knees, to hear the softly spoken magic words."

It all deals with everything that involves being alive, express clearly on Eclipse with mentioning actions we all do.

In conclusion DSOTM is how Roger Waters perceives life.

... And does anyone know at what time will Pink Floyd be on stage? MTV and other MTV related networks are going to broadcast the show live... I just want to know when to tune in.

=D

Having listened to that sample many times, it is definately "I never said i was frightened of dieing", in response, obviously, to the question "why are you frightened of dieing?!

I think:

Another Brick in the Wall, part 2
Money
Wish You Were Here
Comfortably Numb

-Breathe
-Comfortably numb
-wish you were here

that's what they're playing on saturday

And my local TV network is showing it, so I guess MTV is likely to be showing it also.

Wow, that was an amazing performance, I teared during that, after seeing it, I felt a sort of completion in my life, I honestly thought "If I died right now, I wouldn't mind."...

Sweeet :cool:

Is it on ABC right now?

[vashts80]

ABC only showed Money...not Wish You Were Here, Breathe or Comfortably Numb, just Money :(

it hasnt aired over here yet.. im anticipating...

guess what i heard for the first time ever today?

Echoes.

I was just thinking back today to the first time I heard The Wall. An experience I'd like back again for sure.

[The Moor]

[Flaminghotchino]

The First time I ever heard the Wish you were here Album.

*Shivers*

So in america they only show one song?? how lame..

Oh well Im still excited =)

[lunch998]

No they showed the whole thing on the broadcast earlier, I think.

[vashts80]

They showed Breathe, Money, Wish You Were Here and Comfortably Numb on MTV/VH1 (actually live, but they cut to commercial during the Comfortably Numb solo)

On the ABC 1-hour condenced version they only showed Money

[The Moor]

Well since we are on the topic of our "first times", I'd have to say my first time listening to Animals was a life changing experience, it has influenced the way I listen to any music since then.

[Flaminghotchino]

man echoes was awesome, but I was kinda expected too much at first, but then after a while a just sunk into it.. and the last like 5 mins... ****...I was feeling very... Emotional like..Like a spiritual expierence.. lol I know that sounds lame but I dont know how to describe really, Im sure some of you may know what im talking about, and if you dont.. Im really sorry..

I'd kill to write music that effects people like that effected me.

Well last night blew me away, they rocked...

I have semi-complete recordings of both CN solos.

My phone locked up 1st solo, so i missed a bit...and iw as caught in the moment for the second one :( but i still managed to get a decent amount of each one.

[Ill Mitch]

Reunion = :amaze:

[Josh]

i watched last night's gig on TV, they were awesome. shame Roger's voice isn't what it used to be.

[Ill Mitch]

Roger looked so happy while they were playing, and they hardly showed Rick.

[guitarded_chuck]

My favorite part was at the end when Roger waved Dave, Rick and Nick in and had a kind of group hug thing. Hopefully they're good friends again.

[moaner]

i think it was very good, expecially compared to what it could've been

rumour has it syd was in the audience :eek:

[Walrus Gumboot]

When they cut in the middle of the solo in CN, I was amused (I would have been mad if I didn't have it on webcast at the same time) I found myself thinking "Solo too long for you MTV? What's that? Can't take it can you! Eh?? EH??!?"

The video of the set. First time I saw the whole thing because of my **** station cutting it at Money. Wish You Were Here was very moving, and Dave sounds as good as ever on guitar.. and singing too!

[Riva]

I downloaded the bootleg (the AOL Music stream), since my piece of crap TV station only showed Wish You Were Here.

Highlights from the bootleg...

Dave sharing a smile with Nick during WYWH.
Roger's happy face during Money.
The brief shot of Rick playing like a madman in Comfortably Numb.
The group hug at the end.
Roger saying how much he missed playing with "these guys".

I hope they have worked out their differences... :)

[Flaminghotchino]

Most Underated Pink Floyd Song Ever.

Scarecrow, Seriously nobody ever talks about this great song.

If you just lay down close your eyes and listen to this, it completely takes you away.
I mean it paints such perfect picture, and I really dig Wrights playing in it.. It's one of the rare occasions where he really stands out.

Best moment was easily the bend where gilmour shows his teeth in CN...

Syd won't have been in the crowd...before wish you were here they mention it is for sid + for anyone else that couldnt be there.

[WheepingGuitar39]

Hey... is it just me or was Peter Townshend playing with David Gilmour's red strat that he used during Pulse and when he played with The Who in 1996?

[snorfledumpkins]

Dude, have you listened to Atom Heart Mother? Its another 23+ minute song, and in my opinion its even better than Echoes, but thats just me.
It's got a great yet strange groove to it IMO, but it's a little too creepy when those weird noises come in. Oh and to whoever said DB was a disappointment.... shame on you... one of their best IMO.

[magicbus]

I love the show yesterday. Hopefully my dvd recorder worked, so I can watch it again. But everything was perfect. Gilmour can still sing, and play for that matter. Roger looked like he was having a great time, which is good considering their former arguements. The song selection was great. I wished they would've shown Rick a little more, but the few times they did it looked like he was having a good time.

Greatest thing ever.

Dave sharing a smile with Nick during WYWH.

That was also one of my favorite parts. :) Good to see someone else noticed that

You never know. They might not keep concert so they wouldn't've known.

[guitarded_chuck]

I really doubt Syd was there. His sister (or something) said that she told Syd that Roger was going to play with the guys at the Live 8 concert, and he never said anything. She didn't think he'd be interested in watching it on television either.

I bet he did though.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

So are you guys still doing any covers?

[magicbus]

I am ready to record for a cover. I don't care which song. All I know is that my guitar is restrung, and I'm ready to do this thing (especially after yesterday's show :D )

[guitarded_chuck]

Off and on there's always talk of doing covers but as far as I know we haven't done any.

There's a Pink Floyd fan site with a pretty popular forum that recorded a whole Double Disk cover album with cover art and a big booklet. It's really neat, I'll go find it and put up a link.



EDIT: Found the cover album.

Actually a picture of the back cover of the album, has the playlist.

can one of you help me. So I was listening to Breathe from Dark Side of the moon and then I watched the Live 8 Pink Floyd Version. In the Live Version the is a line that goes something like "sit down and warm my bones by the fire". Its not on the cd or is it

Yes it is. But it comes after Time and it's titled Breathe (Reprise)

It's suppose to go like ...

Home, home again
I like to be here when I can
And when I come home cold and tired
It's good to warm my bones besides the fire
Far away, across the field
The tolling of the iron bell
Calls the faithfull to their knees
To hear the softly spoken magic spell.

[TheCrimsonKing]

oh thats right! thanks. See I was looking for them somewhere in the first track....thank you

[Alessandro]

They're pretty serious. As if in he's basically a complete recluse in Cambridge, so nobody's really quite sure how serious they are, but the fact that he's barely appeared in public in 30 years gives us an indication of how serious they are. :( It's very interesting if he was around at the gig last night though...just makes the whole thing that much cooler really.



If I couldn't have seen Rick from where I was standing, I would have doubted whether he was on stage...I didn't see him on the screens at all. I guess they just decided to focus on Gilmour and Waters. But yeah, Roger was really loving it, at least from where I was standing.



From all accounts MTV's coverage sucked. Not that that surprises me, but cutting midway through the Comfortably Numb solo in the band's first gig in 11 years/24 years depending on how you look at it, is one of the stupidest decisions I've ever heard.

I´m from Brazil, and thank god mtv didn´t cut any parts from the show, no tv commercials or stupid comments from vj´s.

One thing that came to mind when I was watching Live8 was how the Latin American continent went completely unrepresented except, of course, for Shakira I guess since you saw in in Brazil uncut, and we in the US UK and Canada couldn't watch it without commentarty, South America had better representation than the English-Speaking world :lol:

YEah, they had there diffrences but they are back together now and enjoying it.

ALso, I got WYWH on Friday and It's awesome. I don't really like SOYCD that much though. I thought the middle three tracks were better. I should give SOYCD a closer listen though. I would say my favorite is the title track or Have a Cigar.

*Maybe know I can do my reveiw for WYWH :o Are we still doing those, because I don't think I'll have the time to write mine.

That's really cool

One thing that came to mind when I was watching Live8 was how the Latin American continent went completely unrepresented except, of course, for Shakira I guess since you saw in in Brazil uncut, and we in the US UK and Canada couldn't watch it without commentarty, South America had better representation than the English-Speaking world :lol:

Thats true :lol: We had a full coverage from 9:00 am to 21:00 pm (local time) it was just great.

I just got back from my cottage with no cable, so I still havn't even seen it yet (I know, I know).

I'm in the process of downloading it right now.

Welcome to the Machine is a track that I could see getting annoying, but HaC is an awesome song IMO

[magicbus]

I love every song on WYWH, some more than others, but I think they are all great.

[MBS]

Have a Cigar is a brilliant song. I find that Welcome to the Machine can get a bit, uhh.. monotonous and the synthesizers annoy the crap out of me.

But Wish You Were Here is perfection in a song.

Pink Floyd was offered 200 Million $ to tour the world, but refused.

You dumb ****ing hippie. "All you touch and all you see is all your life will ever be," isn't about materialism, it is truth. You have to appreciate life for what it is...
