Show #108 Release date: 5. April, 2008


The Silverdome, Pontiac, Michigan, 15. July, 1994.  This is perhaps the most historically significant engagement during Pink Floyd’s Division Bell Tour.  Not much else during the tour, in the grand scheme of things, could compare to the second night in Detroit when the audience was treated to a first entire performance of Dark Side Of The Moon since 1975.  We start out with a unique version of Saucerful Of Secrets recorded at the "Amsterdam Rock Circus" in Olympic Stadium, Amsterdam, Netherlands, 22. May, 1972.  It’s ALL doctored up for best possible sound.  Enjoy!

  • WOW! Had to post back here. I just finished listening to the entire podcast. When they started the second set the hairs raised up on my arms, I got goosebumps and my eyes teared up. The raw emotion this recording brings back is incredible.

    I remember sitting and listening in disbelief. We never expected them to play the whole album. You know how bands will play two consecutive songs, and then change it up. Every time they continued with the next song we were going nuts. Quite the mix of chemicals running their course through me that night made it all the better.

    I can't thank you enough for this recording and it sounds fantastic. You did a fine job cleaning it up.

  • Holy crap! I was just telling a guy at work about this show. I was there along with 9 or 10 friends! We were dead center stage in the first row of seats off of the floor. Nobody to obscure the view and the acoustically perfect spot. I remember leaning forward resting on the guardrail during the DS set, wondering if life could get any better.

    Thank you so much.

  • fair enough Doc :)
    (but I was passed this one on by Roger Waters manager - me being a nobody in relation to the pink floyd/roger waters)

  • lets all keep in mind that Nick and the rest of the Floyd (minus David with his "it won't happen, maybe it could again" bullshit) have been saying this since Live8. Pink Floyd hinting at playing again for charity is nothing new.

  • hi Scott, Thanks for listening. Unfortunately the Floyd never performed "fearless" in concert.

  • I wonder what the face value of a Pink Floyd ticket would be nowadays if Pigs flew and The Floyd did one more tour....

    posted by: Ed on 2008-04-18 18:07:00

  • I imagine the ticket would be £50uk
    but the legalised ticket scalping that goes on with all the arenas mean anywhere from £170uk to £300uk
    that being the "official" price that venues will scalp you for

    Nick Mason has recently gone on record as saying:
    "Rock veterans PINK FLOYD will reunite again - but only for charity, according to drummer NICK MASON.
    The British star claims the band, which regrouped for a one-off reunion for 2005's Live8 gig, is currently trying to source a good charity to support before it sets any more concert dates.
    Mason says, "I'm pretty sure we'll play together again. We're not at each others throats now."
    The Live8 performance marked the end of a 20-year feud between Dave Gilmour and former frontman Roger Waters"

    and that message is passed out by Roger Waters management, as opposed to internet speculation ;)
    and lets face it, he is the conduit for sense out of the murky waters that are Pink Floyd Music

  • Hey doc, ive been listening to your podcasts for a couple of months now and am always looking foward to whats coming next. I was listening to the meddle album the other night and was wondering if the floyd ever played 'fearless' interpolating into 'you'll never walk alone' live. I think it would be cool to hear crowd interaction actually adding to the music instead of the norm of the crowd hindering the music.

  • Great show as always Doc! Thanks for your efforts on the sound quality....sounded great to me!

  • That's Jim Florentine. He's a comedian from the NYC/NJ area. The clip is from one of his CDs "Terrorizing Telemarketers 3". Its made up of phone calls Jim gets from
    telemarketers. Instead of just hanging up, he has a little fun with them. http://www.jimflorentine.com/

  • yep, that's a funny one. and somehow I have the faint idea it might be very much about communication. very cool podcast!

  • Sir? Excuse me, sir? What the heck is that \"hidden track\" at the end? Sir?

  • Its funny,only a couple of days ago i was watching a bootleg Dvd of the concert the day before this one!Anyway,great show.It was definately time for another DSOTM set,and what better than the first one of the 94 tour!Cheers Doc!

  • Thanks again, Doc. Great job, the sound is great, you must have put down a lot of work on trimming it up. Greatly appreciated!

  • Another great Podcast. Thank you again Doc.

    Grampa, I'll see you and the rest of this crazy bunch in Denver. What a night that will be.

  • Thanks guys. ...and dAn, i don't at the moment... hopefully I will soon provided someone tapes the Waters gig at the Pepsi Center at the end of this month. Will you be there? A bunch of us will be at Brooklyn's before the show.

  • DOC! As a native of Michigan: THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Am I allowed to yell that? I was at this show but consumed too much tequila and "stuff" that night and had a tough time with reality for the first half of the show - so I can not express how grateful I am to have this concert flash back! This show was actually the first to go on sale - and the "first" Detroit show was added after-the-fact (have not heard this podcast yet - so if you informed us of that during your intro... my bad)

    I *COULD* ramble on about how much I love your podcast... and I *COULD* write about how much I appreciate your putting these shows together for us with "doctored" sound... and I *COULD* write a lot of statements that have already been posted on your site loads of times - so, rather than putting "ditto" (what that guy wrote) - I'll just write "Echoes" from now on, OK Doc? As I am "echo-ing" all of the comments about what a kick-ass job you do. Also, as a now regular listener and promoter of your show to all my friends, I have become an "Acolyte," of sorts. I think I'll continue this play on words and call myself an Echo-lyte... so maybe others will join in on this? Or it will go over like a big fat lead zeppelin :-)

    - Echoes Doc! -

  • Hi Doc and Everyone
    Another good one, but what else would we expect?!
    I think this is a particularly good '94 show, not just because of its historical significance, but because it's not quite like other '94 shows, e.g. the guitar solos in ABITW part 2 (from both David Gilmour and Tim Renwick)are just that bit different from other performances to enhance the song and the show. It sounds to me as if they and the rest of the band are relaxed and having a particularly good night, the music seems to be flowing more easily. For me, it's the best '94 performance from the US tour that I've heard.
    Anyway, Thanks Again
    Tony

  • I think you're physic Doc. You read my mind! I was just about to ask what was the first show DSOTM was played on the 94 tour and if there had been a recording of it on Fleeting Glimpse!
    Thanks Doc

  • Awesome Gig, Cheers Doc, When I'm free I'll get on photoshop and wrangle up some designs for you. Love the show, it gets me through university commutes :-)

  • I was one day off on this one. I was at the show the day before this one. I remember being pissed that I missed the DSOTM set......But it was the best concert I've ever seen.

    posted by: TerryP on 2008-04-06 10:16:00

  • Thank You so much for sharing this amazing show! I can\'t decide which I like better - this version of DSOTM or the one Roger Waters has preformed recently. I will have to listen to them both several more times just to make sure - unfortunately neither my wife or my neighbors share my passion for Pink Floyd..... maybe someday I will be able to meet some fellow Floyd fans that do - lol.
