The live CD in Ummagumma is fantastic, so go for it :thumb:

NP: [I]Echoes[/I]

Yeah, that's what i'm going to get next (ummagumma). After that I think i'll get AHM and be done with buying Floyd albums for a while.

[QUOTE=rippa32;13656655]I have still yet to get Ummagumma, Id like to get Saucerful Of Secrets as well.[/QUOTE]

definitely got saucerful of secrets...

I say get em all. Each pre Meddle album is really good, just different from their other stuff. All worth a shot though.

Yes, each pre-Meddle album brings something different to the band's sound. I think they really laid the groundwork for the Golden Age, as it were.

[i]Piper At The Gates Of Dawn[/i] and the last half of [i]Saucerful Of Secrets[/i] are really accessible, enjoyable, top-notch psychadelic rock. The first half of SOS has that sort of avant-garde "jam" sound that I like to think set up [i]Animals[/i].

[i]More[/i] shows both a heavier, and a more ambient side of Floyd. Crying Song and Up The Khyber to my mind were the forerunners of Echoes, and The Nile Song shows glimpses of the band's work in [I]The Final Cut [/I]and the more rocky tracks of [I]The Wall[/I]. Green Is The Colour is just plain excellent, and along with Cirrus Minor set up most of [I]Obscured By Clouds[/I].

[I]Ummagumma[/I] and [I]Atom Heart Mother[/I] bring much less to the band's cumulative experience, I feel, but If could be considered the spiritual forerunner to [I]Dark Side Of The Moon[/I]. I can't explain it, it's more or less a feeling I get from listening to it.

But yeah, it's probably all bull, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot. Heh.

I can definitely see what you mean in regards to [I]Atom Heart Mother[/I].

I should listen to [I]More.[/I] I've had it on my computer for ages, but I have barely listened to it.

[I]More[/I] was my favourite Pink Floyd album for a long time, actually.

pink floyd! squee!!!

Seriously though, would you guys kill me if I said I've only heard a few tracks from More?

I've not heard [I]Ummagumma[/I] but I think I see what you are saying about [I]Atom Heart Mother[/I] feeling like a precursor to [I]DSOTM[/I]. I still can't put my finger on what I like so much about [I]Atom Heart Mother[/I], but it remains one of my top favorite albums of theirs.

I haven't heard it at all :(

hi5? No? Alright then.

:hi5:

It's okay, More isn't their most famous album by a long shot.

And Jules > Jono.

Hey guys, found a page a few of you might be interested in. It's got a recording of a set Roger Waters played in September. Quality is pretty decent, and the set list is impeccable. It's it's been posted before, ignore me. :p

Very cool. Thank you, Greg.

Hey guys, I used to be a big Pink Floyd fan myself. But I kind of slowly stop listening to them. But I still respect them for what they did. But the reason why I'm here, I was wondering if you guys can help me with something. Long time ago I once saw a music video on television. And like there was like members of the band sitting on the floor playing their instruments. I know it doesn't tell you much, but it's all that I can remember of the video. I don't remember if it was Syd or David playing the guitar. But he was playing with like if I remember well. A bottle of beer as a slider. Anyways, I never saw that video again, but I'd like to see it again. If you guys know what I'm talking about, it would be awesome if you can help me. If not, well, it's not that important.

Do you remember how many guys there were? And was there a dog? :p

I can think of a few things that might be what you're looking for.

Maybe that was Mademoiselle Nobs from Live at Pompeii?

That's what I was thinking.

I also had another studio video of the Floyd in 1970, and there are a couple songs with just Roger and David on acoustic guitars. I don't remember if he had a slide or not though.

Now I'm trying to remember if it was Syd or Dave with the zippo.

Syd.

Alright, thank you.

So then, it's most likely Dave in Live At Pompeii, though they weren't ALL sitting down, heh.

What did Syd do with the zippo anyways?

He used it as a slide.

Did anyone know that Syd sometimes used a violin bow in concert? Kind of like that guitarist from that band that had that really big song....something about a buying stairway and oh...they hijacked old bluesmen.....I don't know their name though. :confused:

For some reason images of the Hindenburgh are coming to mind...

But yeah electric string instruments in concert can be really cool. There's a band called Zox who is starting to get pretty big (touring most of the US and a little bit of Europe now) who has a lead electric violinist. He's incredible too.

Electric Light Orchestra for the win and great justice. ^_^

But seriously, Spence, I nearly pulled out a rant until I realised it was you posting. Heh.
