This was one active year to say the least for Pink Floyd fans.  This podcast is longer than most other "mix" podcasts but it was necessary to cover just about all the highlights from both David and Rogers' tours.  There were many firsts and first time in a long time performances. 

This will be the last podcast of 2006.  So please enjoy this one many times during the holidays and New Year.  With all the bad shit that's happened around the world, and saying goodbye to Syd, it's nice to have some Floyd from the year to look back on.  Good times.

Originally Show #10, Air date: 29. May, 2004 - The 1982 film soundtrack features a few  tracks not on the original album, as well as remixed and even completely re-recorded tracks from The Wall's original release. This is complete with dialogue, sound effects and nothing speed up like you hear on most RoIO's of the same material.  

I mixed in the rough cut of Hey You from the DVD as it would have been done originally, had it been included in the film.  I also added in, an alternate extended version of Bring The Boys Back Home not heard on the album or the film.

Show #69 Release date: 29. September, 2006

Wow, three podcasts this month.  Lucky you.  For this podcast we visit The Palace Theater in Waterbury Connecticut* 18. March 1973.  The sound quality was rather mucky before I polished it up as best I could.  I had to locate more than one source and even take clips from other shows to fill in some gaps.  It's an "off the beaten path" location for a Pink Floyd gig.  Why not Hartford?  Anyway, this podcast will be last to feature a Dark Side of The Moon set for a while.  Hope you dig!

*March 7 2010:  UPDATE!!!  Its quite possible this recording is actually from Radio City Music Hall.  That show didn't start until 1:30am on the 18th.

Show #68 Release date: 15. September, 2006

Recorded last week, 8th September, Mansfield, Massachusetts at the Tweeter Center from Section 2, Row S, FOB, left of center, inside the stacks.  The last half of the first set is my favorite except for when a member of the audience loses his mind after watching the video of Leaving Beirut.  His screaming of "What about 9-11!" at the end of Leaving Beirut, continues on through the beginning of Sheep.  Besides that annoying asshole, there is hardly any talking and the 360 degree sound imaging can be heard. This is an excellent recording for the Tweeter Center.  This podcast starts off with one forgotten intro from the last show.  Enjoy!

Show #64, Release date: 2. August, 2006

Since the "Covers" podcast, I've had many people ask about Phish's performance of Dark Side of the Moon.  So I decided to whip up a quickcast of this performance in its entirety recorded on 2. November, 1998.  Maybe we should call these special, shorter podcasts of Brain Damage, "Brain Stroke?"

Here's the story of how it all came about from Phish.com.
