Charlotte Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I've never got the whole Pink Floyd thing. I much preferred the Scissor Sisters version of Comfortably Numb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlotte Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I'm sure they've made some great music. I just don't get it. I wasn't born in the 70s and I'm not that keen on concept albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I inherited my love of the Beatles, Classical music, ELP and the Oscar Peterson Trio from Mum and Dad. Led Zep and other heavy stuff came along once I'd left school. I was introduced to Pink Floyd by my first real girlfriends parents, and have loved them ever since. Favorite PF LP is Relics (sexual awakening nostalgia), with DSOTM close second. Some of Dave Gilmours solo stuff is quite good, but a little 'samey'. Pink Floyd is still one of the great pleasures in my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIJ8631 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Dont want to be over critical of my favourite group, but I wasnt to sure about the backing females - certainly (in my opinion) not as good as the MacBroom sisters (not Scottish by the way - at least I dont think so !!) of the late 70's era. Watch the Venice Tour and you'll see what I mean - there voices are absolutely amazing cheers Ian (Shine On !!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 It's the second half of the '94 tour gigs from Earls Court. The whole show was released on the 'Pulse' DVD this year. I went on the final night of the tour So did I, did you see me waving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watch the Venice Tour and you'll see what I mean - there voices are absolutely amazing cheers Ian (Shine On !!!) Did you mean late '80's '90's? One of the McBrooms was Durga, aka Blue Pearl, who did a version of Running Up That Hill, kate Bush, discovered by Gilmour ,ooh circular linking. Sam Brown (Gilmour played guitar on her first single) was doing a fair bit of screeching for "Great Gig" but to give her credit, she sang it all in one go, whereas Clare Torry's part was assembled from hundreds of takes on the actual album. (Coming across as a bit geeky now) I once blew my chances with a hottie at University due to my Floyd geekiness. Girl called Suzie, massive tits, tiny waist and long legs, dirty as fuck, we started to get on well and she "kinda" asked me out. At one point the conversation turned towards music and the Floyd, she said she liked them, I returned with something like "Really? next wednesday is the 31st anniversary of the release of their single "Arnold Layne" We never went out.

RIJ8631 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Did you mean late '80's '90's? (Coming across as a bit geeky now) . Could have been the 80's, Rob, my memory is getting worse as i'm getting older. As to being geeky, that helps when you listen to and watch the early PF (especially PF @ Pompeii) I think it also helps if your on DRUGS.

Seamus was a great track too. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIJ8631 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I think i cocked up by double posting, but you were right Rob, it was 1989 when the Venice Concert was recorded. cheers ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kittyclaws Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Bollocks,,,, missed it. I was about to buy tickets to see that concert, but was then informed that on that date I would be going to Russia. Thanks Liz (the Queen) I'm sure you could have gone on your own, but no, you had to stop me from seeing Pink Floyd didn't you.

Kip Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 This post does my heart good - so many other Floyd fans was it something to do with those 'heady dayz' in our youth. In fact I have a bottle of patchouly oil right in front of me as I type this...ahhhhh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
