- Also, for the curious/hardore, there are shots on the 'net purported to be from this concert featuring ballet dancers or some such. Supposedly someone had this idea to have a dance troupe perform in front of the stage druing the concert. Doc, can you confirm or is this just a legend? Anyway, awesome podcast as always!
- Hi Richard
I believe there are recordings of the Stafford Bingley Hall concerts, but I have had no success in finding them.
There is a Wembley concert available at;
http://bardfresh.free.fr/downloads/?M=A
(along with other Floyd stuff)
and the concert is in the folder;
1977-03-19_Wembley/
The sound isn't great, the vocals are distant, I'd say this was recorded from the back row!
Nevertheless, it's a recording of a 77 concert, a sadly under-represented period of Floyd history.
Best Wishes - ah ok sorry I just saw what you were talking about, the little black round stuff between the toms... I dont know looks like a pad but the year plus the weird angle makes it not very believable... but in his autobiography Nick is talkin about screens that might have been added during the momentary lapse of reason tour, to allow the musicians to see each other, so it might be an early version of that concept with a mirror to see another member or the drum tech...
- ..Great show Doc.I love it when you do the complete shows,especially the 70's ones.I know alot of the hardcore fans prob already have these better known shows as bootlegs,but for some of us,its a new experiance ( Plus your doctering makes it even better.)Never heard Waters quite so vocal on 'Axe' as in this version,sounds great..!
- Granny Takes a trip, indeed!
Can't wait to hear the show, loved the secret link! Thanks Doc!
PS. Anyone seen the Frankfurt pictures over at pinkfloydz.com? The pictures of Nick's kit show some wired little device over the middle of his toms. Is that a primative drum pad, or a wierd proto-type drum monitor (wierd positioning if so - right close to the tom mics). Anyone know what that is? - Thanks for this great Boeblingen show. The copy I have has only Careful With That Axe, Eugene and Echoes (Granny's Wooden Leg) as Set II and no Encore. So again, great to now have the whole show to listen to. I can't believe I hadn't found this site much earlier as I have been a Floyd web surfer for some time. Thanks a million for your time and efforts! You're the best!
- Hello
My name is Granny, and Mr Waters and I had a bit of a fling in his dressing room after this concert. During the rather passionate encounter, my leg became dislodged and I often wondered what happened to it.
That's it in the photograph. Whoever has it, please return it, because I spill lots of beer as I hop around, and I have to meet people on steps or the side of a hill.
I will pay postage, of course.
- Hey Walrus,
I've heard that too but not specifically for STC, supposedly there is filler somewhere but there's no indication as to where, if any was used.
My opinion is, the acoustics of the room sound the same and so do the characteristics of the recording. It seems fairly consistent.
I believe its the from the same show.
(and p.s. to anyone... click my name) - And now we travel back through the mist of the time.
To the dark side.
Great show tonight
On the subject of Glastonbury, last years festival has been the most controversial festival in its history. Its tickets sales were poor and it was the first time that there were tons of tickets unsold. The festival was made entirely of rap artists and such.
- Hey there Doc....Great to have a treat for the grown-ups this time around.My kids really liked your last podcast.They tripped out on the "real baby sound of music" from DSOTM.Wish they had it when they were babies.Anyway great to have you back and thanks again.
Pinkyfloydy - Doc, I bought this month's "guitarist magazine" cause there is an interview of David and a review of his fender custom shop relic, but something in the interview shocked me.
what I'm going to tell may have already been told by another, and you're maybe aware of it, but I thought I should say it here.
that doesn't appear in the interview properly but at the end of it, even if the interviewer pretend that's David's words, so it could have been unofficialy told to the journalist.
there it is: according to David, Rick last wish concerning music, was to preform to Glastonbury but like David said in the Q awards ceremony " it was impossible due to strange reasons, which are a real sadness", but in fact he's last wish would have been a last PF reunion, wich is already suprising, but what's more crazy is that Emily Eavis the wife of Micheal, promoter whatever you call it of the glastonbury festival simply REFUSED David ( and Rick's) request on the terms that DAvid's music ( PF's) was incompatible with the youth of the audience...
that's even more crazy when you knowtha Roger performed in Glaston in 2002, and Rodrigo and gabriela played wish you were here in 2007 and the entire audience was shouting the lyrics...
according to the interviewer it was " due to the impossibility to change the schedule"...
