The Dark Side of the Forum (Pink Floyd)

[Distant Echoes]

the only floyd album i listen to regularly is animals...the other are too mellow and laid back for most of my day. hard to appreciate when theirs backround noise all over the place...animals is much more rockish, so its better for that.

I really only listen to dsotm and wywh when practicing with the guitar...the others i may just play when on the computer...usually random albums though. I The last time i listened to meddle was when i read that in the song One of these days, at the actual part they say one of these days im going to cut you into little pieces, hes also saying something else, but it was hard to hear without panning it. Im sure its already been discussed before though.

[Deathcrush]

Oh man. I'm so high right now, and Time is like totally orgasmic at the moment.

Nope, that's really interesting, think I'll research it.

EDIT:
The spoken words are different, depending on what speaker you are listening to. On one speaker: "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces." On the other speaker: "One of these days, I'm going to dance with the evil beast."

Oh, and apparently there are some audio samplings of the show "Dr. Who" in the midsection :confused:

EDIT #2: Oh. my. God. It's true! That is definitely "dance with the evil beast". Wow. When I heard it, time just sort of seemed to freeze for a second... and then that jam kicks in... Holy crap, that was one of the craziest feelings of my life...

Oh, and I guess all those freaky sounding like alien-ship noises during the "reverb" part were the samplings. Wow, I appreciate that song so much more now...

Try listening to Any Colour You Like.

[BigTrav415]

Wow this site (songfacts.com) is awesome. I'm looking at 'Echoes' right now, listen to some of this stuff.
In an interview with Rolling Stone Roger Waters said he was attempting to describe "the potential that human beings have for recognizing each other's humanity and responding to it, with empathy rather than antipathy."
Originally called "Return To The Sun Of Nothing."
A year or two after the release of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Pink Floyd was working on Meddle. The ending part of the movie is 23 minutes long and the song echoes is also 23 minutes long. Play the song while watching the end sequence of the movie and enjoy.
Wow. I love this site.

[DeusExMachina]

Man. I need to listen to Meddle again now. I haven't listened to it in too long.

[Distant Echoes]

yea, songfacts was what i saw it on. Interesting stuff.

Probably one of the most awsome online sites ever.

[ricardo]

dogs is the best song ever

[BigTrav415]

You guys need to listen to One of Thse Days otu of one speaker too, make sure I'm not just crazy...

I'm having a lot of fun on this songfacts site... you guy seriously should check it out. One of the coolest things is that a lot of people that make comments are from NC too for some reason... kinda weird but cool :)

[magicbus]

Whoa...I heard it too. I think it was just one of those things where "you'll hear what you want to hear". But I'll try it again.

Youve turned into an advertisement for that site!

Ive mentioned it sometime before, but nobody gave a **** (postcount --). Glad to know you guys are liking it though. Awsome for random knowledge for pwning your friends in music trivium.

On the bottome of the page to i believe you can go to an artistfacts site thats the same thing, but for bands/artists. Also some pretty cool stuff there.

[DeusExMachina]

I just listened to One of These Days, and it is indeed true. Crazy stuff.

I'm listening to AHM right now. I really want to convince my school to perform it.

[robo2448]

That One of These Days thing is awesome.

[magicbus]

Yesterday I started drawing a sketch of what Echoes looks like. It's gonna be hard to do, but I have an idea of how I'll go about drawing it. When I finish, I'll post it up here.

[EdwardTheGreat]

Does anyone know if the tribute band Think Floyd are any good? I'm going to see them in Hastings in a couple of weeks, just wanted to know if they are any good.

I want to start drawing a picture of Pink Floyd song titles, like the Grateful Dead posters. I have to think it out first though.

I tried it, and it actually works. Holy crap, I can't believe nobody noticed.

Wow, that site really is awesome. I had know idea Hats off to (Roy) Harper was about the guest vocalist on Have a Cigar.

Edit: So, I was thinking, I read on the songfacts sight that Echoes is about recognizing humanity is someone, and responding with empathy, and I started thinking about the whole Meddle is a concept album thing. So One of These Days is about hating someone ("One of These Days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces") so we start with a character who hates people. I dunno how A Pillow of Winds fits in, but then theres Fearless (which I always thought was about fearlessly trying new things.) So here we see the character starting to change (climbing the steep hill.) Once more, I dunno how San Tropez or Seamus fit in, but then in Echoes we see the character completely changed, recognizing humanity. Just a thought.

I also have a theory about how Wish You Were Here is a story, not just a concept album about Syd.

I severely doubt that Meddle is a concept album. The first side is just a collection of songs.

WYWH and The Wall and Animals are definitely concepts though, and DSOTM is debatable.

DSOTM definitely is.

[BigTrav415]

Artistfacts.com stuff (I know this is sort of advertising but this stuff is great)

Gilmour has an extensive collection of classic guitars, including the Fender Stratocaster with the first serial number.
They were the first band to use a quadraphonic sound system at their concerts. Using 4 different channels of audio, it was an early version of surround sound.
In an attempt to keep ticket prices low, they once appeared in a French soft-drink commercial. This went against their anti-commercialism philosophy and was a horrible experience. They haven't done anything like that since.
Their famous light shows started off very low-tech. In the early days, they used slide projectors and colored condoms stretched over lights.
You have to love that last one :lol:

Animals pwns the Wall. The Wall is still awesome though. Yep this thread is hijacked.

Four Square pwns Wall Ball though. I actually figured out how Four Square is actually an ironic allegory to political revolution. I think I wrote something about it sometime when I was bored...

And yeah, wall ball is cool.

So what's everyone's favorite painfully long Pink Floyd song? Atom Heart Mother? Echoes? Dogs? (those are my 3)

[magicbus]

Mines Echoes, and I guess SOYCD if you add them together.

[RNR]

Oh yeah, SOYCD too :)

[Riva]

Mines Echoes, and I guess SOYCD if you add them together.

Probably Echoes as well.

[DeusExMachina]

They're all great. I was listening to AHM for the first time in awhile last night. Great stuff. I think I'm going to try and convince my school conductor to have us perform that.

[Skyler]

So what's everyone's favorite painfully long Pink Floyd song? Atom Heart Mother? Echoes? Dogs? (those are my 3)

My favorite Pink Floyd song in general is SOYCD.

[Dragon_Prince]

Definitably SOYCD it's great

[temporary]

So what's everyone's favorite painfully long Pink Floyd song? Atom Heart Mother? Echoes? Dogs? (those are my 3)

Shine On or Pigs for me. Shine On would apear on a list of my favorite long songs, anyways (acompanied by 2112, A Change of Seasons, Close To the Edge, and Child In Time.)

[Skyler]

acompanied by 2112, A Change of Seasons, Close To the Edge, and Child In Time.

You have great taste in music. :thumb:

[Collis]

So what's everyone's favorite painfully long Pink Floyd song? Atom Heart Mother? Echoes? Dogs? (those are my 3)

I have to say Dogs or Echoes, on Echoes I love the part between 5 and 9 minutes ... where Gilmour and Waters rip into their instruments, Waters keeps the bass riff going whilst Gilmour adds in the guitar parts now and again ... I love it.

[RNR]

Shine On or Pigs for me. Shine On would apear on a list of my favorite long songs, anyways (acompanied by 2112, A Change of Seasons, Close To the Edge, and Child In Time.)

Ahh, well if we're going to add prog songs by other bands to it, I agree with all of those and add Thick as a Brick (I consider it progressive, anyways)

[PinkZeppelin27]

I've never been able to make up my mind about that :(

And yeah, wall ball is cool.

So what's everyone's favorite painfully long Pink Floyd song? Atom Heart Mother? Echoes? Dogs? (those are my 3)

Dogs>Echoes=SOYCD...I like Pigs(3 different ones) better than all of those if it could be considered painfully long. Echoes drags on a little at times for me but I still love it.

Wall ball rocks!!

Also....Animals>The Wall *points to avatar*

[RNR]

I have an Animals shirt :cool:

[Distant Echoes]

Even though I got robbed and payed $25 for that album, I still think it was a worthy buy.

I don't have any band shirts. I feel like a **** stick for it too.

I want one, but all my money is going for my amp right now.

If I couldn't find it for less, I would pay that much for it. I get it for $15 though.

$15 is still a rip-off for most cds.

[robo2448]

I had a choice between getting an Animals shirt and a DSOTM shirt and...

Yea I'm a trendy loser :upset:

At the time though, I had only just bought Animals the album, and hadn't really discovered how great it was, so I guess that's an excuse.

Edit- I got Animals for 10 bucks :cool:

[Scuba_Steve]

:amaze: I got it for 9 bucks canadian

anyway, I've never posted in here, but I really like pink floyd, so I figured I might aswell drop in and say Hi :thumb:

Also, I recently purchased DSotM and I really can't see why people are so taken by it? It's good and all but I'd rather listen to Animals or Wish you were Here

Pretty much everyone here seems to like Animals and WYWH more than DSOTM. DSOTM is just the album that most Floyd fans get and enjoy first. It's still a brilliant album though.

Echoes is my favorite song in the universe. The rest of those are up there (well not HM so much but Dogs, Sheep, SOYCD) however my favorite other Floyd songs are Childhood's End and WYWH.

[DeusExMachina]

I like WYWH and DSOTM more than Animals.
I agree. I like most Pink Floyd albums more than Animals. It just never struck me.

[robo2448]

I agree. I like most Pink Floyd albums more than Animals. It just never struck me.

WYWH is my favorite, then Animals. I love Pigs.

[clairvoyant]

I personally think DSOTM is pretty overrated. WYWH and Animals are my top two.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I love DSOTM. I still don't think "Money" fits into the vibe of the album though.

[robo2448]

I love DSOTM. I still don't think "Money" fits into the vibe of the album though.

Money is a great song but I agree with you. In terms of the album, Money is somewhat of a weak link in the concept.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Money is a great song but I agree with you. In terms of the album, Money is somewhat of a weak link in the concept.

Yeah, I love the song (you just don't mess with that sax solo :p ), but it kind of sticks out on the album to me. Without that song, who knows if the album would have even been as popular when it came out, though.

[Jude]

Whenever I hear Echoes I think of a gigantic eye just sitting in space... I saw the eyes in your 2nd pic :thumb:

That song brings space to mind for most people...for me it's underwater though. Although the original imagery of the song was spacey instead of aquatic.

I remember the first time I heard it...the first part was kind of an underwater scene lighting up, things starting to move...then the jam part is just kind of an oceany green...then the crazy guitar-screaming part, which makes me think of a beach with seagulls now, sounded like monkeys to me and I thought of a jungle...now the ending part is kind of like a multicolored sunrise.

[MBS]

The "crazy guitar-screaming part" is actually David Gilmour trying to imitate a whale with his guitar. Just switch the cable inputs through a wah pedal and try it, it's pretty cool.

(Meaning you plug the input from the guitar into the output plug on the wah and the input cord leading into the amp)

The imagery in the first verse is good though.

i beleive that part of the song was actually subtitled "whales in labour"

[Jude]

Yeah I like mushrooms too. :wave:

I've never done shrooms or any drug except alcohol (and one cigar I guess) but if I did it would either be LSD or shroorms, and Echoes would definitely be part of the experience.

The 'whale' part sounded to me like monkeys at first, now it sounds like ocean birds.

[PinkZeppelin27]

I'm kinda hesitant to take shrooms. I've heard some crazy stuff about them like that they make your brain bleed or somethin. I don't know anything about them though, and that's probably just some BS some kid made up. Btw man, you might wanna try some other stuff before you just jump into takin LSD, that's some pretty crazy sh*t.

[Schyma]

To get you used to tripping^

I've never done LSD though so I can't compare the two weither or not one's stronger than the other or anything. I would take acid in a second if someone were selling it. Brain bleed? That's just a myth in an attempt to stop people from doing it. Being on shrooms was some of my most enjoyable expirences of my life. Shrooms are AMAZING!!!!!

Getting oz (of bud) for 45$ today. :D

[temporary]

You have great taste in music. :thumb:

Why thank you.

Shrooms are AMAZING!!!!!

To me, the whole idea of tripping is pretty scary. I mean, couldn't anything happen to you. Could you think there was a pool in front of some large drop, and jumped into it and severly hurt yourself. And couldn't you think that nightmarish things were real, ext.

[moaner]

there are walys the stories about LSD. The guy who thought he was an orange and woke up with his skin flapping off. And the guy who, 6 months after a trip, realised he was jesus and walked into a boating pond, drowning himself in front of his wife and kid.

[Shazzam]

Why thank you.

That's why you trip in a safe place, like in nature or a basement. If nightmares came into play, then that'd just be a bad trip, which are pretty rare.

[Schyma]

I've never really had a scary trip before. Just extremly depressing ones and that's just because I was in 105 degree weather. When you trip in that kind of heat it goes to your head. there are walys the stories about LSD. The guy who thought he was an orange and woke up with his skin flapping off. And the guy who, 6 months after a trip, realised he was jesus and walked into a boating pond, drowning himself in front of his wife and kid.Most of those stories are completely untrue. Plus flashbacks are EXTREMLY uncommon.

Why Meddle could be a concept album of sorts


When we listen to the first side of meddle, we are greeted witha smorgasbord of different styles, with precious little overlap. Folk, jazz, blues, hard rock, pop, its all there.

And what do all these genres have in common? Perhaps the most relevant thing would be the way that one or more of each of these genres was a great influence on each member of pink floyd, from rick's jazzy piano, the folky acoustic ballads roger and dave wrote, Mason's hard hitting drums and Gilmour's bluesy solos.

If we thought of these things as ingredients to the world's greatest cake, what would we find? the psuchadelic epic of "Echoes" might not be too far off- both in terms of content and the length of the song.

Wow, I never thought of it like Echoes summing up all the different styles of the previous songs. Thats a good theory moaner. Ill have to listen to it again now...for the first time in a half year.

I still dont get the deal with the 5 minute gap in Echoes that builds up to the final verse. I mean, prog rock - i know, and its a great lead into the final half of the song, but I dont see what it's signifying. All their other songs like that I sortta have figured out.

i actually like that part very much :)

[Broken Arrow]

I like it too.

[DeusExMachina]

All of Echoes is great, and really necessary for the song, I think.

I've never really done drugs, had hash brownies a couple times and stuff, but that's it. And half the time I didn't even realize the brownies had weed in them until after I ate them. Nevertheless, I'm probably going to try shrooms soon, because my really good friend knows where to get them for cheap and she wants me to try them with her.

[PinkZeppelin27]

Brain bleed :lol: That's obviously a lie. And why would trying other stuff before LSD make a difference?

Yeah I think the brain bleed thing is a buncha BS.

Trying other stuff just gets you used to the feeling (although it might be rather different with LSD, I've never taken it), so that you don't freak out when you start trippin. There was a kid at my school who went campin and took some. He couldn't handle it when he started seein stuff and put a gun in his mouth. That sorta makes me not wanna try it.

sorry for the late reply, I just got back from a football game.

If we thought of these things as ingredients to the world's greatest cake, what would we find? the psuchadelic epic of "Echoes" might not be too far off- both in terms of content and the length of the song.


Then you would have a song with many different styles not really a concept ;)

[moaner]

the styles are combined to show what pink floyd are all about.

Why Meddle could be a concept album of sorts


When we listen to the first side of meddle, we are greeted witha smorgasbord of different styles, with precious little overlap. Folk, jazz, blues, hard rock, pop, its all there.

And what do all these genres have in common? Perhaps the most relevant thing would be the way that one or more of each of these genres was a great influence on each member of pink floyd, from rick's jazzy piano, the folky acoustic ballads roger and dave wrote, Mason's hard hitting drums and Gilmour's bluesy solos.

If we thought of these things as ingredients to the world's greatest cake, what would we find? the psuchadelic epic of "Echoes" might not be too far off- both in terms of content and the length of the song.

Good thinking. I like that album a lot.

But that wouldn't make it a concept album, just an album with a diverse song :)

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

But that wouldn't make it a concept album, just an album with a diverse song :)

Well, actually, the concept is the inclusion of all the different styles.

[DeusExMachina]

So it's a musical concept. Interesting take, although I generally think of concept albums being concepts based on lyrical content, not musical content.

I would guess that that was probably the idea when they were writing it.

A musical-concept album would be something to turn heads, even if not many people took it that way.

[thickasabrick]

I like your theory Moaner. I always knew there was more to Meddle than I thought, but I couldn't quite figure it out. Definitely their one of their most subtle concept albums. Whether or not that actually is what Pink Floyd meant to accomplish doesn't matter anyway, it's an amazing album regardless.

[BigTrav415]

Don't feel bad moaner, you know what, that's what we'll call it from now on. It comes up enough, it ought to have an ifficial name.

I guess you could look at as a musical menagerie of thoughts, ideas and concepts uniting as one. Hence, we could consider it a metaphor for the real world, and therein lies the concept for the album.

Eg: All the previous tracks showcase the good points of each style or thought, and Echoes proves how they can all stand together, united and sounding great.


EDIT: Does anyone know when U2 released With or Without You? It's been bugging my constantly that it sounds an awful lot like Take It Back at certain points.

I don't think it's a concept at all. You guys think WAY to deeply into this concept business. Sorry to be the one that points this out but I just think you guys get way too obsessed with concepts.

Edit- I think the version of Comfortably Numb off of DSOT is the best version that I have ever heard. The whole 2nd disc of DSOT is ****ing amazing.

ANYWHO, anyone have any idea what band it is by chance.. It was pretty heavy. I wanna make sure I don't buy that bands music, and destroy any CD i see by them.

[ATM]

Why does it matter? The original is still there for you to enjoy.

It bothers me when people cover classic Pink Floyd songs. They know it's gonna suck by comparison. I'd cover my least favorite PF song and try to make it better.

[Broken Arrow]

I know Primus covered it.

I know Primus covered Animals. I remember downloading a cd where they covered it. I've never listened to it though. One of These Days I'll give it a chance.

No offense to the Foos, but cover something of your own genre. Like some organic pop-rock crap. Not Pink Floyd.

[Broken Arrow]

On that hurricane relief thing they did a really good cover of CCR's "Born on the Bayou".

[Jude]

The Primus version of Have a Cigar, but as the guy said, I would hate to hear how the Foo Fighters handled Floyd.

At least it wouldn't be as bad as Korn raped ABITW.

[thickasabrick]

I didn't mind Tools version of Hey You. They basically tried to mimic the original exactly tonewise and everything...although I prefer Pink Floyd's version a lot more.

Yeah...Korn sucks.

But that's like one of the worst Pink Floyd songs to me. 'The Wall' is my favorite Floyd album but that song...meh. The only thing really cool about it is the guitar solo.

[Jude]

Yeah...Korn sucks.

But that's like one of the worst Pink Floyd songs to me. 'The Wall' is my favorite Floyd album but that song...meh. The only thing really cool about it is the guitar solo.

For me it's the opposite, The Wall is one of my least favorite Floyd albums but that song is definitely one of the high points.

[robo2448]

Yea that was a good performance. Singing was a little off, but still cool.

I love Have A Cigar from WYWH. Awesome intro, awesome outro with the solo. I like Roy Harper's singing too and I love the lyrics. Definitely a 5/5 for me, but I love all the songs on WYWH.

I like ABITW Pt. 2 a lot. But it's definitely not one of Floyd's top songs.

[LF96]

Who sang Have A Cigar live actually?

[temporary]

I didn't mind Tools version of Hey You. They basically tried to mimic the original exactly tonewise and everything...although I prefer Pink Floyd's version a lot more.

Dream Theater did a great cover of Hey You. Not much different, but still pretty good. LaBrie actually does a pretty good imitation of Waters voice.

Who sang Have A Cigar live actually?

Waters did.

[standard]

Waters... I'm sure.

The only reason he didn't sing it on the album, is because his voice was in terrible shape, and they wanted to get it done.

No one will ever / has ever do a good cover of a Floyd song.

I disagree entirely. Covering your own genre is boring. I think the best covers are when people cover a song of a different genre. Otherwise it's just the same song with mild changes.

[magicbus]

I'll do a pretty good cover of a Floyd song.


Also, I really like the DSOT version of Comfortably Numb a lot too. Mostly for the parts at 6:24, 7:22, and especially 7:36. I don't even know how Gilmour does that.

[BigTrav415]

One funny thing I've noticed is that Pink Floyd never did a cover of anyone. Well, unless you count pre-PATGOD Syd-led PF, before they even started writing their own stuff really. But I mean, they've never done a serious cover. It's pretty ironic, a lot of really famous bands built part of their career on covers, like Led Zeppelin and Guns N' Roses (definetely GnR), and then you've got a great band like Floyd, who never has done one. Just goes to show I guess.

The only reason he didn't sing it on the album, is because his voice was in terrible shape, and they wanted to get it done.Or maybe it's because Pink Floyd were very influnced by the legendary Roy Harper and wanted him to gace them with his presence? ;)

[Riva]

Or maybe it's because Pink Floyd were very influnced by the legendary Roy Harper and wanted him to gace them with his presence? ;)

[Its all gravys]

who sang dogs and who sang sheep??? roger or david?

[moaner]

Or maybe it's because Pink Floyd were very influnced by the legendary Roy Harper and wanted him to gace them with his presence? ;)

a mixture of both.

Roger fecked up his voice from singing shine on, and dave didn't like the way the song sounded when he did it. they chose roy harper as opposed to anyone else because of the huge respect they had for him.

[Its all gravys]

what did roy harper sing???

[Riva]

Roy sang Have A Cigar on WYWH.

On Animals, Roger sings all the songs, except for Dogs, where he sings the part of the second, younger dog, and David is the older, wiser dog.

[Its all gravys]

ok thank you, i sometimes find it hard to distinguish their voices... who sung goodbye bluesky, mother, shine on you crazy diamond, money and us and them??

[moaner]

Ah, dave is such a wise dog.

[standard]

Gilmour has a wonderful voice. He can have a considerably deep voice, or a rather higher voice.

Generally though, I would say Gilmours voice is actually deeper than Waters.

[temporary]

Goodbye Blue Sky-Dave Gilmour
Mother-Waters does the bits asking "mother" the questions, Gilmour does the answers.
Shine On You Crazy Diamond-Roger Waters does the main vocals
Money-Dave Gilmour
Us & Them-Dave Gilmour, although I think Richard Wright does some as well.

As a general rule, most of the vocals on everything post Dark Side Of The Moon are Waters, up till he quit. Before then Gilmour and Wright did most of the singing. If the vocals are higher, they're likely to be Gilmour.

I've always thought Pink Floyd were underrated when it came to vocals. I mean, you've got Dave and Roger who both are amazing, and Rick Wright who gets no credit. Waters had such a haunting voice, too.

The news about the DVD is great. Lets hope they're releasing it just to get people exciting for a new tour (even if that will never happen...)

[robo2448]

Gilmour's voice is much better than Roger's. I love the contrast in their singing styles though. Roger's always seems like cold and spooky, and Gilmour's is so soothing. Both have great voices. Wright has a good voice as well.

[standard]

Wright definatly gets no credit. Hell I never knew he sung anything until about a month ago.

I've said it before, Gilmour's voice fits some songs perfect, and I couldn't image Waters' on that song, and vice versa.

[robo2448]

Thats true, although I thought he did Comfortably Numb pretty well at Live 8. I wonder if Wright's voice is still in good shape.

He did alright with CN. Wasn't quite as spooky as it was originally, but still good. On WYWH though, let's just say Gilmour's voice fit that song a lot better.

I'm pretty sure it was just Gilmour on WYWH.

I love both of the SOYCD's on the DVD. The choir adds so much feeling to 6-9.

[magicbus]

Burning Bridges:

Dave sings the first verse. Rich sings the second verse starting with "ancient bones". They both do harmonies on the next few lines starting with "magic visions stirring". Then guitar solo and instrumental section. Coming back into the vocals are both of them doing harmonies again (Dave does the higher ones). Then instrumental until the end of the song.

Hope that helps :thumb:

[Its all gravys]

I think it's also the tour where someone shouts out "PLAY SOMETHING FROM ANIMALS" and Gilmour responds "No, we'll be here all night!"




haha... i laughed out loud at that...lol

[Its all gravys]

i can send the concert to u over msn if u wish

[Ephemeral]

I have this David Gilmour in Concert CD my friend gave me, and it has this BONE CHILLING version of Shine On You Crazy Diamond Acoustic.

Seriously, I got shivers listening to it.

Edit: Sweet, Pulse comes out on my birthday. I think I know what I'm getting.

Is that the Meltdown concert?

I have that one. It's awesome.

[DeusExMachina]

Originally it was just Gilmour. They just traded off verses for Live 8.
Ehh... no. Waters sang the verse for CN on the recording. Gilmour sang the chorus.

My birthday is today. And I'm seeing Paul McCartney tomorrow. It's very exciting.

Happy B-day


BTW: he was talking about Wish you were here

[standard]

When he talks his voice seems deeper than Waters... Well now atleast, in recent interviews.

Soothing would work better. :)

[temporary]

Ehh... no. Waters sang the verse for CN on the recording. Gilmour sang the chorus.

No, he meant Wish You Were Here. CN is probably the most famous use of their two different voices.

[moaner]

I don't think I've ever heard the two talk, but I always hear Gilmour's voice as being higher. Soothing is probably a better description though, now I think of it.

Dave's voice is of fairly average depth, whereas Roger has a very deep voice. they talk quite a lot on the live at pompeii directors cut (with the mini-documentary on darkside)

I love those parts. They seemed to really goof around a lot.

[Its all gravys]

does PF have any dvds out of their concerts back in the 70's??? cos so far i have only seen fairly recent concerts

[BigTrav415]

I was just about to make a post about Live At Pompeii and how I wanted to get it. It's not an actual concert with an audience, but it's Floyd playing in Pompeii live (...). I've seen bits, it's amazing.

I have live at pompeii director's cut on dvd. It is very good, but don't go for it if you like later pink floyd. Everything on Pompeii is pre dark side of the moon. Echoes is pure brilliance.

1. Echoes (part 1)
2. Careful with that axe, Eugene
3. A saucerful of secrets
4. One of these days
5. Set the Controls for the heart of the Sun
6. Mademoiselle Nobs (pretty much Seamus, but no lyrics)
7. Echoes (part 2)

I think that's those are the tracks in order, I might have gotten them a little out of order though.

[MBS]

Is that the Meltdown concert?

I'm not sure, my friend just handed to me a CD labeled "David Gilmour In Concert" and told me to listen to it.

Hmm. Cool.

[Lunch]

The version of Saucerful of Secrets is great on Pompeii.

[Riva]

Speaking of great live versions, how awesome is Learning To Fly on DSOT?

[Dragon_Prince]

Yes, live anthology, it's mort at late sixties early seventies

[Yield]

Im gonna have to get some concerts. I just bought Piper at the Gates of Dawn yesterday and its awesome. I wish Syd Barrett hadn't been a druggie, cuz he was awesome

[Shazzam]

Ummm

PATGOD wouldn't be what it was if Syd wasn't a druggie, alot of the creativity probably wouldn't have been there in my opinion. But I know what you mean, it's sad that such a young artist with such great potential ruined his life with LSD.

[Yield]

I was thinkin I might not like it because its different from stuff that Pink Floyd did later on, but I think its awesome

[Schyma]

But I know what you mean, it's sad that such a young artist with such great potential ruined his life with LSD.Even I have to admit I don't think PATGOD would be PATGOD if Albert didn't create such an awsome drug. Truth is without LSD Piper at the Gates of Dawn would't exist. It wasn't just the drugs either Syd was always a bit of a schizo. The drugs didn't help though. :(

I'm hopefuly getting some next week. :D

Do you mean LSD? Because, I mean, aren't you a tad bit worried about it. People like Brian Wilson went nuts from bad trips, didn't they? I know Shrooms can't hurt you to bad, but I wouldn't try the LSD...

[DeusExMachina]

No, he meant Wish You Were Here. CN is probably the most famous use of their two different voices.
Eep. I misunderstood. My apologies.

On the topic of drugs...

I'm probably going to be trying shrooms pretty soon. Also, next time I visit my friends in Seattle, I've got a good buddy who wants to do mescaline and go to a laser show with me. I'm not sure about that yet. I want to do a bit of research on mescaline first.

[BigTrav415]

So, now that I've finally gotten a CD burner, I think I'll make an Trav's Ultimate Floyd: '71-'79 mix for my friends. Now, I understand that it's hard to make a 'Greatest Hits' of Floyd, because of the way their albums are melded together and such, but considering this is coming out of a true Floyd fan, I think I can make it good. Here's what I think I'm gonna put on there.

1. One of These Days
2. Fearless
3. San Tropez
4. Breathe
5. Time
6. Any Colour You Like
7. Brain Damage
8. SOYCD pts. 1-V
9. Welcome to the Machine
10. Wish You Were Here
11. Pigs on the Wing pts. 1 and 2 (If someone could upload that for me, the one with the solo, I'd 'prreciate it :) BigTrav415 -at- gmail.com)
12. Is There Anybody Out There?
13. Nobody Home
14. Comfortably Numb
15. Echoes

I hope I can fit that all on one disc :( If not, I'll just take a few off, I don't really want to make it a two-disc thing. And if you have Pigs on the Wing pts.1 and 2 ;)

[DeusExMachina]

You won't be able to fit that. Does sound like a good little mix, though. You've got almost all of Meddle there!

[BigTrav415]

Yeah, Meddle's probably my favorite Floyd album. I'll probably take off Any Colour You Like, Welcome to the Machine, Is There Anybidy Out There, and Nobody Home. I know that only leaves me with one Wall song, but whatever. Maybe I'll only have to take off a couple. Remember, Pigs on the Wing w/ solo, if anyone has it ;)

[moaner]

The version of Saucerful of Secrets is great on Pompeii.

aboslutely. It and ummagumma could be merged into the best version (longer intro and last section off ummagumma, middle part form pompeii with the opscillating delay pedal).

Pompeii is my favourite floyd release.

[magicbus]

I love the end of the Ummagumma version. Gilmour's vocals are so haunting, I get chills everytime I hear that part.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Meddle is my favorite PF album also. Sure there aren't many songs, but EVERY song on there is great and Echoes, One of these Days, and Fearless are probably in my top 5 favorite PF songs. Others are Time and Brain Damage.
