Hi All,

While i love Pink Floyd and will tune in, I have just been listening to both Floyd and Dire Straits(Brothers in Arms) using ITunes Player.
So please tell me the guy or gal that developed the Itunes Visualisation is not a n Astro Geek like us.
I'm sittin' here gettin' quietly PISSED after some financial bad news and thought what the heck!!!!! Drag out some old music files and try ITunes as a Player.
What a nice surprise!!!!!!!

Cheers All:thumbsup:

Will watch!

It's a pity, though, no-one seems to have any footage of In The Flesh. waa waa.

Love Over Gold is a top album as well, especially the track Telegraph Road. Visualisation is pretty cool :)

A cursory glance (once again) at their greatest musical accomplishment.

One day, one day, we might get a closer look at Animals.

[jjjnettie]

There was some good aerial footage of the Battersea Power Station though.

[Jeffkop]

Awesome ... missed the start but any Floyd is good Floyd ... learnt a few things ... AND next week .... Roxy Music :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Thanks for posting this thread, I would have missed it all together.

[Waxing_Gibbous]

Oooo......did you see that orange & purple hoppy, scaly thing.......?

Hi All,

Excellent though far too short doco and some very interesting early footage and photos. A very good insight into the internal divisions within he band too.

I'm not normally given to outrageous, emotional outbursts, but ...

At this moment I'd like to take (Sir) Bob Geldorf out somewhere dark and hit him very hard over the back of the head with a cricket bat.

In your own mind, as you read this final comment, please insert the appropriate invective and poorly chosen words you know belong as an inherent part of it ...

With great respect, (Sir) Bob Geldorf who in the hell do you think you are to to pass comment on the music of Pink Floyd?

And while you are at it, before you refer to them as "four old geezers" -- take a look in the mirror pal.

Will be listening to Meddle as I drift off to sleep tonight. :)


Best,

Les D

[jjjnettie]

ahhh, I played Meddle today. Good choice.

There really wasn't anything to the doco that we hadn't heard before.
But I still wouldn't mind a copy to add to my collection.

Doco/music DVD's in my collection....
Live at Pompeii-the Directors Cut
Classic Albums - Pink Floyd and Meddle
Classic Albums - The Dark Side of the Moon
Pink Floyd and the Syd Barrett Story
Pulse
The Wall

Are there any more I should be tracking down???

[duncan]

AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Humayen,

NOW THERE IS A GOOD BAND to see or listen TOO:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Davelrkn]

I have the collector vinyl copy of Dark Side of the Moon released mid seventies and has the prism one side of the record and the spectrum on the other side
Only play twice
Cheers
Dave

:doh::doh::doh: Dam it i forgot this was on :rolleyes: i knew i should have came on here earlier :shrug:

[mithrandir]

The one in the slip cover with the flashing LED?

I have to change the battery from time to time.

[Jeffkop]

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: :lol: Thats what he looked like he was recovering from Les !!!

And I'de say give him another round ... lest he start naming children again !!!!:screwy:

[jjjnettie]

No flashing LED on mine.
I'll have to look for that one.

[erick]

That's the CD version, isn't it. DVD of Pulse is battery free :D But no blinkin' light :sadeyes:

[mithrandir]

Copyright 1995. Were DVDs even invented then? 2 live CDs from the original analogue recordings.

[Outbackmanyep]

I have the PULSE CD with flashing light, it was the first album to come out with that fancy paper cover, if i remember right it was $60 at the time!

It's such a shame that Rick Wright passed away.....

[Spanrz]

I watched this, amazing. Though I am not really "into" Pink Floyd, it was a great insight of what happened early on.
Take note kids, don't do drugs. Syd will tell you why (er, ok he wont now) :D

Have a great appreciation of the band now. Even though I did sort of get into them only around the time of the "another brick in the wall", as it was the video that captured me. Was only a boy when the song/video come out, but old enough to like it.

I didn't end up seeing the last 20 minutes as I fell asleep. Dam.
But I did enjoy what I saw. :)

[Gallifreyboy]

I'm not a big fan of Bob Geldof but to give him his due there is no way that Pink Floyd would have ever played together again (at Live 8) without his insistence and persistence. World poverty benefitted and millions of Pink Floyd tragics had a lump in their throat and a tear in their eye with those four songs. For that alone I say well done Sir Bob. They didn't even get together for Syd Barrett's tribute concert although they were strongly rumoured to be rehearsing for it leading up to the event. Apparently Roger couldn't make it.
