Pink Floyd Appreciation Thread for Dummies
Re: Pink Floyd Appreciation Thread for Dummies
I don't really pay too much attention to lyrics. I'll grant that the band has many pretentious ones, but for me the draw is unconventional (for rock) chord progressions and structure, shit-hot guitar-playing, and interesting textures. I think what some people might see as boredom-inducing, I appreciate more as "music to zone out with," which is reinforced by my love of trip-hop and things like Neu! and some electronic stuff.

Re: Pink Floyd Appreciation Thread for Dummies
Damn decent set list. I wonder who's doing the vocals? I can't imagine Nick doing Vegetable Man or Bike.Flex wrote: ↑08 Nov 2018, 12:18pmNick Mason is touring as "Nick Mason's A Saucerful of Secrets" and coming to Colorado in March. Check out this setlist:

Re: Pink Floyd Appreciation Thread for Dummies
It is a dream set list but from the you tube vids I've seen it's like a cover band, a very good one at that but it's not the Floyd. LIttle pricey too I won't be seeing them. I saw Roger on his solo tour and it was a fantastic spectacle.

Goddamn, I'd forgotten how good this live version of "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" from Ummagumma is:
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Have you seen the Live at Pompeii DVD? They do a good version there too, and Saucerful.

I don't know why I didn't include this on my Pink Floyd Challenge List (or did I? I can't really remember):

Re: Pink Floyd Appreciation Thread for Dummies
My stoke levels are super high for Thursday. I've heard nothing but great things from folks who have attended the first few shows of the tour. I'll try to submit a show review at least as detailed as my Elton John one.
