Wow! That Arnold Laine video was pretty freaky, they were nuts from the start
If you think about that film there, it could almost be interpreted (if you get really psychological about it) like, that Syd became the mannequin of the story - and ended up with his head in his hands

 

[NMH]

typical NMH bullshit,

PARTS of 8 songs evolved into dark side(roger waters recycled LOADS of tunes throughout his floyd career and evolved different versions..check out pros and cons and the final cut) and the dome gig was a complete fiasco due to power failures and dodgy tape decks.
i guess you wernt there and read this bolllox somewhere.

the first proper run of the music that evolved into dark side was portsmouth the next night.
and despite the waters influenced relative quality of the songs on momentary lapse the division bell provided conclusive proof that gilmour cant write

Haha! Remind me not to take anything YOU say seriously!
Maybe it's you who were on drugs when you mixed several bites of information to make that assumption. Looks like you have been ...what they would call 'owned'

I wouldn't care so much about the mixture of vague mis-information, except for the stupid manner of the post.

Anyway, there's someone on NSC that went to see The Pink Floyd well before I did. I'd rather hear about their impressions of the great psychedelic experience of a 60's Floyd gig! Or anyone on here who went to a Floyd show really.

What was good about the Division Bell tour, was that however far you went from the huge stage, the light show and video that went with the performance made it all a really brilliant experience. I went to 3 shows in two cities, each time a whole new experience (back of Stadium, middle of another, then around the 14th row).
That Dark Side tour was when they were still tentatively calling the LP "Eclipse".
I went to Earl's Court to see them, and then again in the 1970's at Knebworth where they were just pioneering the video-screen synch (and the plane crashing into the stage, with the explosion, did not really work in unison!

apart from not addressing the way floyd songs "evolved"-rather than were specifically written,and ignoring the FACT to you floyd means efects and light shows,most floyd fans are attracted by music and lyrics. therfor you rate the worst album in the floyd catalogue as the best on visual effects and accesability rather than any musical or lyrical merit

i refer the deluded gentleman to three respected works

saucerfull of secrets. the pink floyd oddyssey by nicholas schaffner.
i recomend pages 148 150 151
152. (a slight difference of opinion between me and the author,i was at the 3rd night and i dont agree its the full finished work) is a record of the 4 gigs at the rainbow 17th-20th feb regarded by many as the true dark side debut.

this date and debut is also claimed by NICK MASON in his book inside out so i guess he knows more than both of us.


the dark side of the moon by john harris records the brighton fiasco (almost as bad a floyd gig as nebworth,and yes i was there in the caravan for the roy harper tantrum that f***ed the first half of shine on )
pages 86-89 cover this event but the nearest to the studio dark side was,in my opinion, was pompey the next night.


AND do you REALLY want to destroy your gilmour-car-autograph bullshit too

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

I could listen to 'Shine on you crazy Diamond' all night.

owed by who you muppet?

i guess nmh PRETENDS to know more than he does. 10 mins looking at my floyd books destroy his case, but those there dont need a book to prove him wrong
i mean the bands f***ing drummer cant be wrong...can he.

and i know what gilmour drove at the time,nmh obviously dosnt

 

[northstandnorth]

NMH mr cut and paste... mr no f***ing opinion except one you can rip off from some one else.....

I HAVE DESTROYED YOU


surely you admit that nick mason knows a bit more than EVEN YOU?

very intrigued by this quote NMH. you prove you wern't at knebworth.what video-screen synch?

at knebworth a large model of a ww2 plane(spitfire/hurricane?) flew downhill on a wire from the back of the crowd and crashed onto the stage to a firework explosion. the only thing that detracted from this effect was the fact it took place in daylight and the fireworks were lesseffective than they might have been at night.

you obviously are getting confused with the video used for learning to fly from the non waters(but heavily influenced)album momentary lapse of reason

I don't have to look up info in a book idiot, I went to the show, at the Dome.
Didn't you read my post idiot? I was there, at the actual concert. NOT the previous one, where the power cut happened and they had to finish with an acoustic set idiot, but at the first live performance of Dark Side Of the Moon.

What the f*** are you talking about re the car? He was under it. So what? It's just what he was doing when I was there with my ticket (he signed the back of it). Does your BOOK say something about how his car never needed attention or some stupid shit?

Who cares what "most people consider the TRUE first performance of DSOTM" because they bought a bootleg CD?? You take the moron-biscuit, moron. I sold my copy of that CD, it wasn't a patch on seeing the earlier gig for myself. I expect you wish you could have seen them then. Or not? You ARE an idiot.

Read the book properly. The first performance was affected by a TAPE malfunction. They played most of the DSOTM set regardless, plus some of Atom Heart Mother, and I do understand THAT was caught on a bootleg recording as well.

Now while you are obviously very immature and over-excited about everything, and blithering on a keyboard is the most you get out of life, I will REVEL in the memories of great concerts that I attended, and you did not, at The Dome- like King Crimson in 1971, Bowie as support for the Groundhogs, Led Zeppelin (who R.Plant said "ran out of songs" after 3 encores, and then played 'Jingle Bells'), The WHO at Charlton, and Hammersmith Odeon, Ten Years After at Alexander Palace, and hundreds of others during the 1970's and ever since, going on to co-ordinate for rock videos such as November Rain and work on an INXS album cover, introduce the idea and discuss the merits of a Sex Pistols revival tour, to John Lydon in Los Angeles, etc.

Want to tell me none of them happened, or that I didn't enjoy any of those gigs now?

As for The Division Bell - I liked the LP, liked the shows (LA Rose Bowl and Oakland Coliseum), enjoyed the visuals (and the visuals from their previous gigs too, perhaps DSOTM is now rubbish, because they used a screen at Knebworth?)

Maybe you would have liked a real life and seen and heard real music, instead of reading books about experiences.

Now I realise this is all too exciting, that I'm giving you the time of day about this in ANY capacity, but I'm afraid I have related to you enough eye-witness report about having a life and going to gigs all the time.

Just because you have given me this opportunity to relate these wonderful realities from my life - I'll also let you know that I was the very first person to apply for a part in The WHO film for Quadrophenia. I couldn't audition at the time for an acting part, because I wasn't in the Actors Union. My parents then didn't want me to quit my job to do extra work on it either.

When I get my stuff out of storage in Los Angeles, maybe I'll show you a picture of my signed WHO gig poster, signed Led Zep ticket and signed Floyd ticket, so I can just wallow in the FACTS that I didn't have to read about in books.

The 'explosion' did not happen at the same time as the plane actually 'arriving' at the stage - nor the sound of the explosion. The spitfires/hurricanes flew over Knebworth BEFORE the show - and the model didn't really look like a Spitfire.... so that must be ANOTHER mixture of mis-informations you have visualised in you head - based on what it says in a book.

Thankfully, I don't have to "WISH I Was There"

As I mentioned earlier, crank it up and bask in the glory that is Pink Floyd.

I use to go mountain biking with Dave Gilmours SON.....Fact!

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

comfortably numb live on pulse(disc 2) is just scarily good. Gilmours solo=god-like

 

[Eggmundo]

I saw Floyd on the Division Bell tour @ Earls Court and saw Roger Waters on the DSOTM tour @ Earls Court and can honestly say Mr Waters was by far the better of the two he was ********* amazing, I can only dream of experiencing something like that again.

The difference was the passion.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

I will REVEL in the memories of great concerts that I attended, and you did not, at The Dome- like King Crimson in 1971, Bowie as support for the Groundhogs

I was at both of those! Bowie forgot the words to Space Oddity

 

[Tubby Mondays]

Apparently theres another new band that are totally hip and fab and are like really happening man - Staus Quo.

Has anybody like checked out or dug their groovy sound?

 

[NMH]

I was at both of those! Bowie forgot the words to Space Oddity

You have a better memory than me to remember that moment!
He did 'Width of A Circle', and that AMAZING version of 'Moonage Daydream' when Ronson had one arm in the air and played a solo for about 7 minutes, with the strobe flickering. He almost coulda been booed off for being so camp back then, and people were shouting 'sailor' and coowee at him at the start. The music was just too good though.
I don't know about you - but I found the Groundhogs fairly dull and sedate after that, staring at their plimsouls doing depressed blues. More down to earth, with the flared jeans and canvas bumpers and t-shirts - but visually a come-down.
