Show #129 Release date: 28. March, 2009

Just when you thought it couldn't get any better... This is an upgrade to the previous 9. May, 1977 podcast "Look Mommy, there's an aeropig up in the sky" (Show #70 Release date: 13. October, 2006).  As it turns out, it was recorded by Reinhart Holhwein.  Not Bill Graham Productions as previously thought.
 
Reinhart's recording landed in the lap of a master of mastering, Derek McCabe of 'Mouth of the beast', a group of people who master live recordings, mostly Grateful Dead stuff.  The clarity is much better.

Show #128 - Release date: 15. March 2009

Here's an excellent soundboard recording from the Orange Bowl in Miami, 1. November, 1987.  It was a very rainy evening.  So much so that it kept the Pig from making an appearance.  As the show progressed, so did the rain.  Listen closely for the delicate sound of thunder off in the distance while Gilmour comments on the weather.

This recording had several glitches repaired before it landed in my lap but I noticed a few others that got over looked.  I repaired those, lifted the sound and gave it a wider presence, EQ and all that jazz.  Enjoy!

Show #127 - Release date: 28. February 2009

This podcast was taken from a bootleg called "The Good & The Bad."  I left out the bad and give you the good but still lots of tweaking was necessary for this one.  

Originally Floyd was scheduled for the 21st but a second show was added at the last minute.  Both shows were recorded by EMI and later had pressed white-label acetates, which included an interview with David in French.  Not much came from these recordings but it's likely they would of been used for promotional purposes and not for commercial release.

Show #124 - Release date: 17. January 2009
 
The first podcast for 2009 comes from a suggestion of another Brain Damaged listener who thought it would be cool to have Floyd songs that appeal to children.  I think quite a bit of Floyd is suitable for children. They might not like it, but it won't hurt'em.  They may even love Pink Floyd.

This podcast is for the little one in your life.  Most of what's featured is early for it seems to have a more playful tone.  Part of the show consists of one long set with some cool sound effects thrown in.  This was a challenging theme and I hope I pulled it off.
