Pink Floyd

[The New Fiona Apple]

The original film is a classic. I wish other bands had this kind of originality and wish this band still did....

[loretian]

It is a great video, though some of the music gets a little too... "far out" for me.  The studio footage of them working on Dark Side of the Moon is cool.

[Dot]

is this a live dvd? what songs does it have? I?ve never ever seen it, not that I remember.

[DEAD HORSE]

Pink Floyd's Live At Pompeii is a real , mind fucker live concert of all time, i love the concept of it, as usual nobody but The Floyd could do it.

It's not a live DVD in the traditional sense if that's what you mean. It's a very "artsy" performance. It's basically them performing their more "spacey" songs in an empty ancient amphitheatre while various visual effects are shown throughout. They also have clips of them being interviewed and working on DSOTM throughout the dvd.

The tracklisting is:

Echoes Part I
Careful with that Axe, Eugene
A Saucerful of Secrets
Us and Them
One of These Days
Mademoiselle Nobs
Brain Damage
Set The Controls For The Heart of the Sun
Echoes Part II

The New Fiona Apple, I love that photo of Roger at the gong.

Wrong!

You have no idea what Roger Waters is about!!   IF he were like that he would be on fuckin MTv! 

[ClintroN]

wrong you are,

MTV didnt excist back then anyway, Roger Waters was an amazing writer and composer,
he was just a fucking arsehole, just ask David, Nick and Richard, those three dispise him.

Just look at his DVD for shits sake, all Pink Floyd songs under his name, i dont have time for people who spit on their fans either

  All Floyd songs are under his name? It Might be because he wrote all of them Duh!!!!!

Roger is, or at least was a huge megalomaniac. He may not be the type to whore himself to MTV, but that doesn't make his ego any smaller. Roger really believes he is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. He also believes he was Pink Floyd. He often made the others feel inferior by criticizing their performance when it is he who could barely play the bass.  He even said "You can write anything you want, just don't expect credit for it." He took most of the credit himself.

I think Roger has mellowed a lot in recent years and is pretty likeable now, but he was a huge dick in the past and never tried to hide it. You have to be blind not to realize that.

  What Are We all Fighting For?? Floyd Kick Ass and Thats it!, I don't give a goddamn squad if roger or david, nick or richard made the song if we all know who wrote the song, is just a wasted of energy discusing of something that happened way back in time. 

[ClintroN]

hey Dead Horse, i bet you think Roger wrote Comfortably Numb, or Run like Hell hey???

but im actually talking about Rogers DVD, i just think thats not right...

[Acquiesce]

I really enjoy Roger's dvd and don't mind him singing Pink Floyd songs.

I know who wrote the songs dude, i got all their albums, i even got some of the solo projects. Those 2 songs you named were written by Waters ANd Gilmour , i know that. I thought u were talkin about Live At Pompeii tho.

I won't waste time writing about a band i know , i have listened for years and some people here, that  maybe have listened to one or two albums, and talk like they have listened to their whole discography. 

[ClintroN]

i have most but on record and just scored A sourceful of Secrets and Piper At the Gates Of Dawn on record from a guy who knows shit about vintige and rare albums

I know my Floyd but obvioulsy not as much as you D.HORSE, i havent listend to 'The Wall' or 'Momentary Lapse' or a typical album and think i know all mate, all im saying is, is that Roger Waters is/was an inconsiderate prick and dont like a musician with that attitude. All band members have said it themselves but after watching some interviews from over the years you can pretty much figure it out for your self.

Now if that isn't the irony of all ironies.

I don't know if Pink Floyd has it's own thread or anything but does anybody here like Pink Floyd? I own Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall and I love the Wall to Death of course Dark Side is cool.

[Malcolm]

I have yet to hear any of there songs except Combfturbaly Numb and i fucking love it..I wanna get into them but just havent been motavated..what are some of ther ebiggest hits?

[BP]

YES

very pleasing to my ear. something sweet & warm in there analog techniques. tapings. such a work of art & original. Gilmours obsessions with delays & reverbs & tape boxes etc..... ? argh it makes me sick to think about how much hands on involvement was done in the makings of such recordings. ?check out the 'Animals' album too.? You can write your thesis on 'The Wall'? alone.

 my influence for playing guitar & concept.

-bp ?

Pink Floyd is great... there's nothing like smoking a joint and cranking "Shine On You Crazy Diamond", well any Floyd will do, but that's my favourite.

You know what works suprisingly well (aside from "Dark Side of Oz"), you can mute the cartoon version of The Lord of the Rings and play Disc 2 from "Echoes" (the compilation).  I think I heard somewhere that some of the LotR was drawn while the artist was high on acid.  Anyways, it seems to flow really well.
