I like the solo on Careful and the atmoshperic keyboards are damn cool.

MattSharpIsCool 12-06-2006 07:00 PM

Careful With That Axe, Eugene is probably the only song on LaP that I dont like better than the album version. I think the whispering Roger does in the video is a bit much, but its still alright.

That's true, it's much creepier when all you hear from an actual voice is "[size=1]careful with that axe eugene...[/size]" and then...

I must get Live At Pompeii, it was second on my DVD's to get list after Rainbow Live At Munich, which I now have. Now the problem will be finding a shop that stocks Pink Floyd DVD's that arn't Pulse.

MattSharpIsCool 12-07-2006 12:54 AM

I got mine at Best Buy, try there.

I think it was the only one they had though.

rippa32 12-07-2006 01:09 AM

Whats a Best Buy? I don't think we have them in Australia.

It's a big electronics shopping center that doesn't have crazy expensive prices. It also has a pretty good selection of music, so you can find things you usually wouldn't find at a big store.

Oh I didnt even think to look where you lived. You might not have them there, but ya, they've got a pretty decent selection of music and what-not, and they're usually a lot cheaper than other "big" stores.

Yield 12-07-2006 06:56 PM

Best Buys are great! :lol:

But the used book store where I get my cd's is cheaper, I just wish they didn't run out of good stuff so fast.

MattSharpIsCool 12-07-2006 07:00 PM

I buy all my crap at Best Buy.

I'm hopefully getting a record player for christmas though, and if I do....well they dont sell those at best buy, so I'll have to find somewhere else.

Yield 12-07-2006 07:10 PM

They had ones at Target, and I was intrigued, but then I soon realized that it was a five in one stereo (Tape, Record, Cd, AM, FM radio) and considering it was one hundred dollars at Target. I didn't get it

Now I'm trying to figure out which is better: Pawn Shop or New?

MattSharpIsCool 12-07-2006 07:17 PM

For a record player? Do they jazz up the new ones at all, or are they the same thing as the older ones?

Hamilcar 12-07-2006 09:15 PM

I got my record player at the Salvation Army for $6 and it works just fine.

rippa32 12-08-2006 12:42 AM

I say second hand, most new one's are tailored for DJ's or audiophile. The DJ ones have a direct drive system rather than belt drive which not only costs more but adds noise. And the audiophile ones are $1000+ for the tiniest little thing that the ear really couldn't tell the difference anyway.

LF96 12-08-2006 06:15 AM

If it's just for listening, get an old second hand one. You can't change needles on old ones most of the time though, because they don't produce needles like that anymore, so if your needle is broken you're in trouble.
I've got a dj-turntable, but got it pretty cheap (second hand, for half of the original price), sound quality is good and I can change my needle very easily.
But overall, I'd say, go for a second hand one, them needles don't break down that easy.

rippa32 12-08-2006 06:55 AM

I have one thats very old and I can get a needle easily. But shop around, alot of Hi-Fi places will charge about $40-$60 for your average needle, whereas as this independant electronics store near where I live only charged me $25. Also research what the standard price is for a needle of the turntable youre looking to buy, not very many but some will sell for about $100.

There are still some good ones in production, like my Song PLXSsomething. And direct drive's not that bad. I used to have a great direct drive Dual.

Oh, dude, get a Dual off ebay. They're so nice.

Aussie Pink Floyd were in Montreal yesterday.

Best show of my entire life.

rippa32 12-08-2006 07:24 PM

Well I'm seeing Roger in February and I should check out Aussie Pink Floyd when they come back to see how they compare. Your not the only one to say their good though.

Yield 12-08-2006 09:04 PM

Aww man, that's awesome! (Roger that is) :lol: Do you know what he's going to play?

MattSharpIsCool 12-08-2006 09:13 PM

I'd imagine the bass.

<_<

Yield 12-08-2006 09:21 PM

:lol:, i was expecting something more along the lines of "money" and "Mother", but that works

rippa32 12-09-2006 12:49 AM

I was looking at a setlist before. It's all of Dark Side Of The Moon in order plus Sheep and a few from The Wall and The Final Cut, I think he also does a couple of his solo career songs.

Dragon_Prince 12-09-2006 05:42 AM

Darkside+Sheep+Shine On+Have A Cigar+WYWH+Leaving Beirout+perfect sense 1&2+comf numb+Mother(I think)+boys back home+In the Flesh+ Set the controls+fletcher memorial hope

good show :)

rippa32 12-09-2006 07:13 AM

Well there you go, Have A Cigar will be interesting considering it was originally sung by Roy Harper.

Yield 12-09-2006 09:15 AM

That sounds awesome. That should be worth the... how much money are the tickets?

rippa32 12-09-2006 06:34 PM

$150AUS I payed. You can do $100 but there shitty seats. Theres also even more expensive ones but I didnt feel like spending $200.

sonictheplumber 12-09-2006 06:38 PM

I haven't heard a single PF album....

Riva 12-09-2006 07:15 PM

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe you should listen to one?
