Show #96, Release
date: 13. October, 2007 It wasn’t too often other musicians were given the opportunity
to jam with Pink Floyd let alone be able to jam with Pink Floyd. “Frank Zappa is really one of those rare musicians that can
play with us. The little he did in Amougies was terribly correct. But he's the
exception. Our music and the way we behave on stage, makes it very hard to
improvise with us.? The two progressive rock planets collided on the 25th of
October, 1969 at The Actuel Festival in 1. Astronomy Domine Comments[15]

- Hey Doc
bit late in getting the new podcasts
but a bit of zappa & floyd can only be good :)
re: podcast size
would people converting the kbps setting (the quality) decrease the audio size of the casts?
if that makes sense
most audio cd's as folks know will cope with about 75mins max of audio but the casts last for a very pleasant couple of hours
- Hi Kees,
I know why... and I would really appreciate it if people NOT cut up my podcasts. It's a little insulting to the whole creative process, especially after all the hard work I put into them.
If its any consolation, I'm always open to suggestions and requests. If you would like CD length podcasts from time to time, just give the word. - Wow, this one's a gem, and the sound's really not that bad. The Zappa 'Overdrive' is much slower (esp when compared to 'Tonite Let's Make Love In London'), but suitably out there.
But what's going on at the start of 'Set The Controls'? It sounds like Roger is talking to the sound engineer, asking for 'more treble', etc. Thing is, you can hear him singing at the same time. - The surprise track at the end gave me shivers. This past summer I was watching a lot of Zappa\'s TV appearances on YouTube, and it struck me how bad his \"television presence\" was (mostly interviews during the height of the PMRC and \"porn wars\"); I can imagine that a lot of people who watched those came away with the impression that he was kind of a jerk. But he was just a person who loved music, and adored other people who loved music, and he probably felt that to act superficially friendly with clueless TV hosts and audience members would have been kind of an insult to the people he truly admired, including the many great musicians he worked with.
- Pink Floyd played \"Interstellar Overdrive\" into October 1970.
A request, if someone can -- the song the band played to end Dark Side before Roger wrote \"Eclipse.\" I\'ve never heard it, and in the most common recording from this era, the Brighton show, the band stops Dark Side in the middle of \"Money.\"
