Stoned Alone is so trippy I love it.

I haven't heard that song. Is it on [i]Relics[/i] or something?

No, it wasn't released. It was written in like 66 by Barrett. Supposedly its the first thing he wrote for the band.

Oh I'll see if I can find it on soulseek.

Now you guys have gotten me listening to 60's Floyd.

Oh well.

oh well,

nothing wrong with that. i love sixties floyd :)

Definitely, absolutely nothing wrong with listening to some sixties Floyd. Hell, I'm listening to PATGoD right now.

So what do you guys think of Syd Barretts solo stuff?

[QUOTE=samariah;14927743]So what do you guys think of Syd Barretts solo stuff?[/QUOTE]

my favourite is The Madcap Laughs,wich is also I think his first solo album...

Decent efforts, not really that noteworthy though. Madcap Laughs is good for a spin every now and then though.

yeah madcap is decent, not something i really get an overwhelming urge to listen to though.

I've only heard [I]Barrett[/I] and it's not very good.

Have you guys listened to any of the outtakes on [i]Madcap Laughs[/i]?

I don't know if it's only on a special edition of the CD or what, but there are a bunch of "takes" of some of the songs where Syd is just off in his own world being crazy and messing up the songs.

It's really a little creepy.

I like the song Octopus.

me too

did anybody else see Roger Waters's solo tour??? dude I saw it on the 30th and it was one of the greatest things that I've ever seen. He played a lot of songs that I didn't think he'd play that I really wanted to hear. What did you guys think?

I didnt go but what unexpected songs did he play? I really want to see him though.

I think it was more the solo stuff he played rather than the songs from Floyd's catalogue. More from Pros and Cons of Hitch-Hiking than I think anyone expected.

he played songs off of the final cut(shivers at the mention of) like southampton dock, the fletcher memorial home, and then other stuff. I didn't think he'd play Mother, or In the Flesh, and those were the songs that he opened with

Pink Floyd is steadily becoming my favorite band

Good on you. They've been my favourite for a while now, as most of the regulars will know. :p

Does anyone have a torrent/stream/whatever of Roger Waters playing at Live Earth :)?

Don't worry, it wasn't that good.

yeah wtf with the little kids and that dreadful version of Another Brick In The Wall, 2. i thought i was watching Sesame Street.

and the way Roger was moving around the stage his prozac must be working pretty good these days. meh.....

See, thats why I'm not so sure I'd enjoy Roger's live show.

After watching The Wall: Live at Berlin it turned me off a little.

Dude I'm telling you if he plays live anywhere near you, don't miss it. I'll say it again, best concert/show I've ever seen.

[QUOTE=Motionless;14944429]And anyone that is your friend on Last.fm[/QUOTE]

I've had at least 3 randoms add me simply because I showed up on the Pink Floyd last.fm page as a Weekly Top Listener.:p

Bah, a huge stadium show could never be as cool as a small intimate one with an energetic band. I'm sure it would be a fun experience though since it's a big production and everyone is stoned.

doesn't matter if it's a huge show and youre miles away from the stage, you're still there, it was my first concert, and I've heard from a lot of people that it is one of the best that they've seen, and they were the ones that went and saw all of the great bands in the late 70's and early 80's

The problem is you can't expect small intimate shows with big name bands, and when you get down to it, a lot of people are just thrilled to be there anyway, despite the fact that the stage is a small square on the horizon and the performers look like ants.

Yeah, I'm sure it's fun and everything but as somebody who's been to both kinds of shows I really don't think an arena show can compare with the energy of a small club.

Well, I suppose it depends on the band playing and the atmosphere of the small venue. I've seen some horrid bands in crowded, smoky pubs.

i find large shows to sometimes be as intimate as small. biggest thing is sound and volume at a large gig. if those things are right and the band is tight its still the music that matters most

I saw Tom Petty at a pretty big outdoor amphitheater and I thought it rocked. As long as the techs do a good job with sound, and the band sounds good, large venues are fine, like JXD said.

^pretty much summed up everything I thought

Does anyone think the Final Cut is really THAT bad? I was taking a listen for the first time in ages the other day and actually found myself enjoying it. I mean, of course its a Waters ego trip and all that, but theres some really great songs on there.

you know I was just going to ask that question, it sounded like a good idea on paper, but it just didn't have the Pink Floyd sound to it. It was less of the sound that they had with all of the great guitar tones, the key tones, and they just almost lost the guitar, and changed the key noises from an organ type sound to a piano. It just didn't work with what they had already done, and the fans wanted another album like the other ones, not something completely different. correct me if I am wrong

[I]The Final Cut[/I] is terrible music. Most of the songs sound like crappy outtakes from [i]The Wall[/i].
