Anyone here for some Floyd discussion?
Actually, i was always quite amused with one thing. The number of concert dates on average Floyd tour in Waters era is ~ 40. A bit small for a band that placed live experience above the music itself. On the other hand, in Gilmour era, Momentary Lapse Of Reason Tour was massive (197 shows, thats 4 more than World Slavery Tour!), Division Bell Tour had 110 dates.
Does anyone know of a pro-shot bootleg from Animals (In The Flesh) Tour?
They've played both of my best two Floyd albums song by song (Animals, Wish You Were Here) on that tour, i'd really like some good quality bootleg stuff, but quick search around Youtube revealed nothing.
By the way, they're quite "best" in a lot of categories. However, where they outclass any other band is studio sound and production. From 1971, they've always sounded ten years in the future (except Animals, which has sound rough around the edges intentionally, to fit the story). One Of These Days for example, with synths and guitars running around the stereo scene, sounds like typical early eighties synth rock stuff. On the other hand, The Wall, from earliest eighties, sounds like something from late eighties, especially the guitar sound...
BTW #2, i've listened to Dream Theater's Scenes From A Memory today. The guitar solos from Overture 1928 are pretty Gilmourish. Then i realized how much the intro piece, Regression, has in common with "Pigs On The Wing 1". And, in "Fatal Tragedy", the last part is pretty much standard high-speed Maiden. There are DT's influences coming out everywhere. Then i realized i though that it was the most original rock album that i heard, when i heard it first time ten years ago. Now i don't rank it as highly...a lot of stuff over there was "borrowed" from older, influential bands.
That's what i like about Floyd, when you listen to them, you feel cutting edges everywhere. They also have their influences, but they've pioneered so much you can hardly dig some part that resembles something older non-Floyd.
Maybe everything worth pioneering in rock has already been done.
