Pink Floyd (Official Thread)

[Lynch]

Just came across this. David Gilmour - Comfortably Numb - Live in Pompeii in 2016

this song, in almost any iteration, continues to give me goosebumps. Love Gilmour's voice in it, but those two solos? I still think that they might be just about the most heart-felt guitar solos ever recorded. I never tire of them and they always bring up specific emotions in me.

While cruising through youtube clicking on random stuff, this came across my desktop again. The 'feels' that I get from listening to this song still get me. I could listen to Gilmore play a 20 minute rendition of the solo and it wouldn't bother me at all. I'd have a hard time finding a rock solo that I like more that the ending solo on this song.

Love listening to and playing this vid from YT.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (pts 1-9) - seemlessly played both tracks together. I have a question, does anyone know if Pink Floyd ever released the full 1-9 as a single track on any of their albums? If so, I'd love to know which one.

I see we have some SACD's coming out in 2019 including a 5.1 layer of Animals.
Also Water's Amused To Death on 45 rpm vinyl.....

I could listen to Gilmour play for hours. Live, studio, or just futzing around on a guitar. Love his tone and phrasing.

Played this the night Radio One DJ, John Peel announced the death of Elvis...Floyd's newly released Animals...even though brilliant didn't have that sorrow i was feeling.

Pink Floyd - Echoes.

 

[Leamey]

Pretty weird opening would you agree?

 

[Mulberry]

There should be more on Syd here in Cambridge really.

Thought I'd post these here as they will get/have got lost in the post a picture thread.

Went out over Christmas and took some local Pink Floyd photos around here in Cambridge. Was were David Gilmour, Roger Waters and Syd Barret grew up. Also their graphic designer Storm Thorgerson.

The Mill pub. The yellow circled figure is David Gilmour as a young man in the 60s. This is the Mill today.


Daivd Gilmours house in Grantchester Meadows. Name of a song on Ummagumma of course.


Rock Road where Roger Waters grew up.


Earl Stree Where Storm grew up

Syd's House (he lived in about 3 in Cambridge but this is his last and most famous one)


The Pub where he used to go when he came back here:
