There's too many loose posts on this topic, lol.



I've uploaded a bunch of boots, had PM's asking for the old ones etc etc so it's time to put it all in one place.

Some news:

Waters mother passed away recently, and he is likely bringing the original Wall arena tour back on the road for its 30th anniversary. He's on this months cover of Mojo:





Also, Wall 1980 live DVD is in progress, More footage has recently been found.

Mojo looks like they photographed Waters getting out of bed.

Also, as much as The Wall is Waters' baby, Gilmour's voice is damn essential for some of those songs, so here's hoping an olive branch is extended... if only for one show at least.

I highly doubt Gilmour would do it. He's been such a bitch. IMHO the Wall doesn't need Gilmour as much as Dark Side. Waters still did a fine job though.

haha, they suit each other then!

Methinks Gilmour just wants the satisfaction of having the olive branch accepted as opposed to being the one accepting.

Probably. Brits are weird sometimes.

BTW, here's a recent "lost" bit of Floyd music from 1968 from a film called "The Committee". The ST was never released:

Another rare bit, a live improv instrumental called "Sleep" from 1969:

Waters needs to stop fucking around and put out a new studio album. it's been 17 years.

I don't know,. Amused to Death was pretty good. I don't see how he could release anything nearly as worthwhile at this point. His live game still kicks ass. However, that new song he did at Coachella 2008 was pretty amazing.

Who pm'd you for this thread?

I passed on the Dark Side of the Moon tour since I thought it would miss the other members contributions...probably more than any other Pink Floyd album that one was the most successful balance of all the members working together to create something that they couldn't do individually.

But The Wall? I'm there for that. Sure I'd miss Gilmour...a lot...but crap man...

the Darkside tour was phenomenal.

Is that news or just something we hope will happen?

I've heard plenty of rumor of this in the past few months.

I'm sure it was...I heard some boots and enjoyed them quite a bit. But there's huge chunks where Waters is just playing bass, while the backing band takes the lead on parts originally played/sung by Gilmour and Wright...and I missed hearing the actual guys doing it. There's times where, for me, it came a little too close to feeling like a really good Pink Floyd tribute band.

But The Wall, like Montana said, was Waters' baby and that would be a less of a problem

Well, yeah, I'd HAVE to see this.

i personally think that Amused To Death is his best as a solo artist. My first brother-in-law had pros and cons when i was a kid and i heard it enough to like Waters solo. i ended up buying Radio KAOS, The Wall: Live, Amused To Death and In The Flesh when they first came out. but his new output along with Pink Floyd/Gilmour have virtually stopped.

Don't get me started on On An Island. Waited 22 years for Gilmour to follow up About Face and I was let down a little bit on that one.

The info is supposed to be spilled in this months Mojo.

Yeah, who did that? Oh never mind...:lol



Aw man. She's the biggest reason he's so political.
Was that his mugshot?

oooohhhh! Are they stealing stuff from the boots, a la Frank Zappa?

BTW kids, has anyone ever noticed Waters looks like this guy...?

ive been listening to this quad mix of tdsotm in lossless ogg in my computer for a few days. this and a some flaming lips albums on the same format (my soundboard supports up to 8.0).

who the fuck is this band?

Pink Floyd
Animals
[Columbia Reissues]
10.0


Pitchfork flavor of the week. Don't believe the hype.
They're a Wavves or JJ at best.

Is quadraphonic sound where you can hear sounds coming from different sides? Like physically behind, below, and in front of you? If so, would love to hear some Floyd in quad while dipping into my stash of chronic.

if it isn't then whatever.

nm, that's holophonic sound

ooh, but apparently parts of The Final Cut are holophonic. Will definitely check that out.

for the record i actually really enjoy, maybe even love, pink floyd. just wanted to make a smart ass comment.

Yeah, supposedly the missile launch/explosion is supposed to come from front left to rear right, or something. I dunno. I've had the CD for ages, and I'm not entirely convinced.

Yes, an unfortunate issue. Waters wanted to tour after Live 8 with the full band, Gilmour said no. So blame Gilmour for that. However, the show was still outstanding, but there's no doubt there were sections where you were like "we need Dave here". The same was said for the PULSE tour about Roger(Guy Pratt's bass playing is way too clinical). It's the by product of spoiled brats who can't get along.





I would say Dark Side was Waters baby too, just with more musical input from the others. After Syd, Waters was easily the most driven and productive songwriter in the band, and absolutely their leader.

Waters solo album Amused to Death has something called "Q Sound", and it does work. So does the "PULSE" album. The problem is you have to be positioned perfectly between your speakers, and they have to be only two speakers, no surround etc. The effect is pretty incredible, it does in fact sound 3D.

TFC= best floyd record

Does even Kurt Loder still think this?

Well...I can't really do that. I can't blame a guy who doesn't want to spend months of his life touring with a guy who was a dick for decades who suddenly decides "Hey, I wanna join the band again. And (probably) take over again." As much as I would have loved to have seen it, I can't blame someone in their 60's wanting to relax at home with his family and, when he DOES want to tour, preferring to do it with people he actually enjoys being around.

There's a lot of blame to go around really...




This is true.

But, to me, although Roger was responsible for the concept of DSOTM and the lyrics and all that, I think the overall SOUND of the record comes more from Dave and Rick. And if you HAD to have one half of the band performing it without the other, that's the half I would take. Whereas with The Wall I'd obviously have to go with Roger...but, of course, it would be best to have all of them. But that's just never gonna happen again unfortunately

Lurker OTM. As much as I may acknowledge Waters being the impetus for Dark Side's theme and conception, and as good as the Dark Side show was, it's hard for me to view his performing bass and singing as much of a draw as hearing Gilmour and Wright recreate THEIR parts. That year, when I saw both Waters and Gilmour on their respective solo tours, Gilmour's just came away the better of the two....even despite doing the entirety of On An Island for the first half. Even that half had moments of Floyd's greatness, which could well have lived up to being Floyd in name.

I just want to complain that the fucking light in my Pulse finally died, a few months ago. It is not a battery issue, but a lightbulb issue. I am FUCKING furious, too, as that thing was advertised as being designed to last literally forever, with proper care. Furious beyond words, I tell you. Furious beyond words.

It still bums me out that I didn't get to see that tour. I live in Seattle and the closest he come was California. The price of tickets plus air fare/hotel etc...there's no way I would have been able to afford it. Which sucks...they've been one of my favorite bands since I was about 14 (which would have been around 1996 or so) and definetely for a long time in there they were my undisputed favorite. And as long as I've been a fan they haven't existed. But I always hoped that someday...bah.

I did see Waters in 2000, but I've mostly always wanted to see Gilmour. And especially with Wright on board that tour would have been pretty great...It especially sucks now that Wright is dead. Oh well...the Royal Albert Hall DVD was really good though.

Just received an email on the Wall tour. The list of cities for the 2010 Wall Tour is down to 8 worldwide. They are bringing out the original show. Pink Floyd lost a shitload of money on that tour too. Nick Mason is on board.

I'm guessing L.A., Chicago, New York, London as the base core.

Some bits from the original tour:

goddamnit

anyone care to venture what tickets for something like this would run?

I'm curious. I got a scalped ticket to the DSotM show for....hmmm....$130? I think that was about the face value of the best seats. The Wall has more production involved, though.

Although since I paid $250+ for U2's current show, the amount I'll pay for a show is probably too high anyway.

If it goes through, prices won't be too bad.

This is a ticket I would have really enjoyed seeing:




This is a pretty amazing piece - "Great Gig" live from 1974 set to some visuals:

Montana - where are you getting all this Wall tour info? I need to keep myself up to the minute with this.

From a Floyd fan bigger than I who is friends with a girl who's boyfriend works in the live aspects of the Floyd business.

I am not sure if I have seen that one.... I will check it out. Thx.

who does he work for??

Waters.

I want to believe the Wall thing so much that I refuse to believe it until I see it.

I dont need no sad.

Waters directly, or one of his suppliers.....

I don't know. I'm not super close with the emailer.
