Pink Floyd’s next compilation album?

Hi,

Which is, of course, rather strange, because what got PF famous was their concert shows and how far out they were in 1971 and 1972, before they started doing bits and pieces of DSOTM, which then became a huge show that got the band their first million, so to speak. It was during that time that they were thought to be the ultimate "stoned" band, along with TGD, which I'm not sure was true since these folks, for one, already had a member that lost it, and 2, were already much more mature about their doping, and not exactly happy with some of it, since RW got upset more than once about too much dope going to the stage, even during DSOTM, and sometimes those bits showed up on bootlegs.

My take is that, unless, you go to the early material with DG, BEFORE Dark Side, is the only material that would be more fun to listen to and enjoy, since those had a lot of improvised material in them, and I think it all ended when their shows became "mechanical" with too much film and lights, and the players had to stay on top of it and not screw up, which would have hurt many other things taking place on the original DSOTM show. This, for me, caused the live material to lose their strength, and the boots of anything beyond DSOTM have absolutely NOTHING worth listening to at all, because of the quality level they raised on their shows, which allowed very little time, and sections where any of them could fool around at all!

Thus, the early days would be far out to listen to, and the "hint" might even be shown via Nick Mason's very enjoyable and far out stuff that he redid from the early days. There is a lot of material that got a lot of different takes that you could only get on bootlegs, and never have heard before.
