Pink Floyd (Official Thread)

Re: Pink Floyd

I think back to when "The Wall" came out, we played it and didn't know what to think. The subject matter was so depressing and really deep, you have to really pay attention to get the most out of this record, and I don't play it very often even though I like it.

Then when the movie came out,,,well to be honest the music was great but the movie was not very good, the animation was interesting but Bob Geldof's portrayal of Pink was just hard to take in. I remember most fans leaving the theater were disappointed, us included.

Re: Pink Floyd

This was the Pink Floyd track that first attracted me to the band. When it was first released, the eerie, otherwordly sound was like nothing else I'd heard to that point.

Re: Pink Floyd

Roger Waters toured here two years ago Hep and my friend who saw the concert was simply raving about that song...one of the highlights of the set he played.

The movie for me anyway got better over time. I like it more now than back when it came out. To me it's more of a "in your entertainment room,alone" type flick. Not one I pull out and watch with company.

Not even my fellow Floyd friends.

Fellow Floyd Friends....say that 10 times fast.

Re: Pink Floyd

Pulling that one out would kill a party MP...

I agree definitely a very personal kind of album. Unlike you even though I have watched the video a few more times, I still really don't enjoy it. I would much rather watch Delicate...or Pulse for my PF video fix, and just play the Wall on CD, or vinyl I still have my original copy, and it's in pretty good shape.

Re: Pink Floyd

I have a link to their show in Rome and it's a great DVD.
They played on a boat and were so loud it damaged some nearby buildings.

Just a question, do you still only own it on tape? It really improved with me, not only as it got better with age but with remastered DVD's as well.

The sound and wider, bigger picture makes it better as well.

Re: Pink Floyd

I don't own a copy, but my friend had the "Laser Disc" copy, you know those LP sized discs that came out before DVD's took over. I watched it enough times to not be a big fan, I know the storyline and I don't hate Geldof's performance I just found it to be a depressing movie. The album/CD when I play it, is different my own imagination takes over and it's a little less bleak than the movie version.

I don't intend on adding it to the library, I would rather get a copy of Roger's live version in Berlin, that was much more fun.

A good list LG. We certainly some differences in that but three of our top four are the same so that says quite a bit for those albums right?
