I have taken several walks on long, quiet paths in my town while listening to this. Lincoln Nebraska has great tree-lined paths and parks, and this podcast is the perfect excuse to hit them all. One day, I hope to walk in and around Cambridge listening to it. That version of Baby Lemonade really knocks me out! Grantchester Meadows and A Pillow Of Winds always make me smile. Fantastic podcast, Doc!

Love how this one has a sort of timeline to it. Ever think about doing a show that goes through the seasons?

Great podcast yet again! How did you get the smile track from the AOL session?

Best one yet. Keep up the good work. Good luck in the Search.

Awesome set, Doc. The switch from Where We Start into Breathe was almost imperceptable. I thought it might have been a new performance. Have you been inspired by that great mash-up mix from that podcast last fall? Do more of that. Great job!

Great stuff Doc! Listened to this one in the park on a hot afternoon in sunny brighton, uk, and it really hit the spot! Thanks! p.s great job mixing the tracks together..!

Another one!?! Doc, you're really kickin' out the pods this month!! Superb job on the blending of tracks...you KNOW HOW to get the job done! If Floyd ever does a show in Az., please let me know. Keep on tokin'!!

You're all very welcome. 23 comments in 48 hours is a record!

About Almeda? No reason really... its just some random "summer, passing the time" feel of a song. It's also featured in the opener of a great independent film called "Gummo."

Tanks again Matt. Looking forward to late summer and hangin with you and our friends in Chitown.

Great show,i love the themed ones! This one follows on from the 'Something Blue' show rather nicely.Unrelated question:Has anyone else noticed a problem with the Knebworth (For what its worth)Podcast,No 94?Ive downloaded it several times in the last few mnths,and there always seems to be an annoying 2 min jump in Sorrow.Its about half way through Davids main solo,and jumps back to the verse before! Maybe its just me,buts its annoying!Its the only one ive ever had trouble with.Any ideas?...

Wow, that was a great one! I can tell you that it works equally as well when taking a calm stroll sunday afternoon in the summer rain in the Botanical Garden. Really made me enjoy life and forget all worries for 100 minutes. Thanks!

Watching the senset, looking forward to each podcast, keep it up. Must have PF everyday like a Multivitamin. Just rolled a phat one, gonna push play..

Thanks Doc,
As always your prescription fits our needs perfectly. I can't think of a more suitable laid back Father's day gift than a kickback musical Floyd arrangement.
Rockin' On in Ky.

oops! Yes I did mean 2006. The playlist is correct
posted by: doc on 2008-06-16 04:21:00
Really good podcast again doc. Nice theme and well presented, as usual.
I hate doing this, but have to correct you on the Echoes track. It was recorded in 2006, not 2002, it was an out take from the Live at Abbey Road TV show. But you were right that it was spontaneous.
May you never run out of ideas for podcasts!!!

hey doc! i love this show, it sounds great! where did you get the idea for the podcast?
posted by: jon on 2008-06-15 22:53:00
I was going to recommend doing such a show. You covered all that I would included but left out Pigs on a Wing PTs 1 and 2. No worries. Great podcast!

Doc, just wanted to drop back by to weigh in on this one after listening....
...turns out to be an EXCELLENT podcast...goes great with both my Rock heritage and my now-a-days middle age sensibilities.

Perfect.

Some really slick sounding segues in this one, made me smile :)

Thanks again for another great podcast.
I really didn't want it to end.

I have a big test tomorrow and it really helped me to chill out.

Happy Birthday Austin!

Doc, I listened to this as the evening drew to a close on a mild Winter's evening. Very laid back, very relaxing, very mellow. Nice. I guess most of Floyd's music started like this, as melodies picked out on an acoustic guitar (or notes on a piano), before they were fleshed out into the fully formed music we appreciate. Great job, Doc, keep those creative juices bubbling.

excellent, love their acoustic material, particularly from David's Meltdown show.

I look forward to listening, keep up the good work Doc!

Very cool, Doc! What a great birthday gift :-)

Oh man... I love Floyd's acoustic material, and this is a perfect podcast.

Once again, well done, Doc!

I'm REALLY looking forward to this one--guess it really is ..."just what the Doctor ordered."

Thanks, Doc, for all the time & work you pour into the podcast. It really is a Special Treat every two weeks to look forward to "New" Pink Floyd--now, THAT's something you can't get just anywhere.
