Pink Floyd Appreciation Thread

Aye.

The World Tour '74 live discs are a treasure that I'm so pleased have been given an official release. The non-orchestral live versions of AHM and the lengthy live versions of Embryo are others I would love to see given an official release.

Correct me if I'm wrong though.

Half-right, the 1997 bonus disc of the soundtrack adds a further 4 Pink Floyd tracks bringing the total offically releasded to 7. I believe the total is 15.

Well done!!

I'm glad you've discovered prog.

Enjoy the journey!!

Depends on the nature of the discussion. If you are consciously chewing on the nature of the music on the bootlegs, PA might have a legal problem with that. I have no legal expertise. My guess tells me that.

While Final Cut is not my favorite, I like it much better than The Wall, so I'm with you there.  My desert island Floyd would probably be Meddle, Atom Heart Mother, and that Animals tour bootleg I used to have of the one show where they included a third encore of "Careful With That Axe, Eugene (which they hadn't played in more than 5 years, and was only played at that one show on that tour).  Actually, I wish I still had several bootlegs from back in my Floyd fanatic days, as a lot of that stuff was amazing and better than the albums.

Oh come on, I'm just trying to be funny (and failing).  Obviously, we have different tastes, which is of course the root of all arguments in prog land.
