PSA – much Pinkness of Floyd – BBC4 tonight

That is all.

Thanks for the top off Blob, can’t believe I missed that. I think Live at Pompeii has the great funked up version of echoes.

cheers!

It’s like they knew my wife’s away for the evening.

😀

Shweet

Aye – Mrs BOAS is out and under instruction not to return until after midnight 🙂

Nice. Couple of beers, some Valium, and relax…….

Nice!!!!

echoes ahhh my fave,real good on live in pompei

ta. PC set to record.

Psa fail!

WHAT TIME?? FFS!

9.30 BBC4.

There wuz giants in them days, sonny…

thanks for the heads up 😀 the only problem is that my freeview digibox has gone wrong (i cannot get sound 😡 will still watch it though and do my own interpretation of the tracks (with some spoons and a washboard 😉

Ohh great! Wont watch the live at pomp, as my dad made me watch that when i was 12, and insisted that any self respecting son of a real hippy need to know about the floyd(plus incredible string band, hendrix and lots of west coast acid rock). i was a queen fan at the time…..
wish you were here is my first musical memory; Wales, mid 70s and my dad and his hairy mates skinning up homegrown and going to the woods to drop acid, while earthmothers with longhair and free swinging boobies cooked lentils and bread. then we moved to cambridge and lived round the corner from sid barret…it wasnt until my own education in the pleasures of narcotics started did i understand what he was on about.

Why not watch it on the iplayer & connect/stream the sound, or wear some half decent headphones?

2unfit2ride i would love to,but i only have a 15gb monthly mobile broadband contract,so it would eat into my monthly allowance.

All recording as I type 🙂

have decided to play some pink floyd youtube videos whilst watching the documentaries (might also play my pulse dvd later 😀

managed 5 minutes…..then remembered why punk came along.

^^^^^^^^^^^^ 😀

ah but the sex pistols loved pink floyd 😉

Shame you didn’t stick with it, you might have learned something!

I am enjoying it!

I did learn something Woody. Never buy a Floyd album!! Ok i have the first album but i didn’t pay for it.

Jeez you can still hear the resentment in their voices.

i can’t 😉

I have the full collection. I am only 38 as is dark side of the moon. What a great year 1973 was! 😀

Lol at raceface

Dear me, I was at Wembley for the DSOTM tour. 😯

Those were the days …

Although I don’t actually like Pink Floyd.

Edit: it was released in 1973.

Top music. Dark side of the moon is still on of my most played albums.

And I love picking up a guitar and playing along to their stuff.

Top band 🙂

Recording this. Cheers for the heads up.

DSOTM & Wish You were Here are brilliant albums.

Fantastic baynd, one of the most influential baynds ever.

Saucerful of Secrets is my fave album, but Echoes is one of the best bits of rock music ever produced.

I think Live at Pompeii has the great funked up version of echoes.

That is truly brilliant. Saw LAP in school when I was about 14; virtually all other ‘pop’ music at the time was blown into insignificance following that experience.

If I’m ever cremated, it has to be Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun, as my box rolls into the furnace….

Another Brick in the Wall was a seminal track when I was in Primary school. Mate at college’s sister sang on that.

Set to record Pompeii. It doesn’t get much better than that IMO

Cant help but think Pink Floyd are 70% shite and 30% genius. Still recording “Live In Pompei” as there 30% shite is better then 70 % of other bands. Confused . 😉

I must admit I’m not a fayn of their post-Waters stuff, but they had 15+ years of producing top notch music.

Loved it many thanks

Note to self dig out dark side of the moon and its on one of the big cds with a scratch on both sides 😉

Here we go! Live at Pompeii! 😀

Fantastico.

(Turns volume up. Doesn’t care if it annoys neighbours- it’s Friday night anyway they play crappy cheesy eurotechno crap)

In labyrinths of coral caves
The echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine

love that
