Re: The Music Discussion Thread
TBH, it's normally the type of venue I like to see bands, small intimate with a bar, basically a big old pub. This one had a good sound, hence the 3 points, but they ran out of draught beer when we arrived, the Guinness was dire, the room was extremely narrow, a low stage so you could only just see the heads of the group and the toilets were up by the stage in a room that was too narrow already, which meant a lot of people toing and froing past one another.
Another positive was the second support, we caught the last number of the first support, sounded like a Levellers cover but the second support were a local band who must have been together years, the vocalist was excellent, she had a Grace Slick, Elin Larsson feel to her voice. The Brandy Thieves very good they were.

Loved those type of pub venues following Wally & Be-Bop Deluxe in their early days during the 70's

Re: The Music Discussion Thread
A Floyd day with eight albums of their 13 I own on my playlist
MY TOP FIVE (can change as the years roll on)
Meddle
Atom Heart Mother
The Dark Side of the Moon
Wish You Were Here
Obscured by Clouds
Animals
Relics
The Piper at the Gates of Dawn
No idea what my favourite Floyd song is, far too many great classics, can change from day to day
Floyd facts
Atom Heart Mother was Floyd's first No.1 album
Dark Side Of The Moon never made the UK No.1 spot even though the album is one of the best selling albums of all-time.
Dark Side Of The Moon was the first No.1 album for Floyd in the USA after their first seven albums failed to make the Top 40 where as all their albums prior to DSOTM made the Top 10 in the UK
The Division Bell reach No.1 in every country that produces charts
The Division Bell was my BEST SELLING ALBUM when I owned a music shop
Another Brick In The Wall (Part II) was Floyd's only No.1 single in the UK in 1979 twelve years after the Top 20 hit singles 'Arnold Layne' & 'See Emily Play' in 1967
By 2013 Pink Floyd had sold 250 million records world wide

Re: The Music Discussion Thread - Your favourite Pink Floyd albums ?
I think Pulse takes a lot of beating now ...

Re: The Music Discussion Thread - Your favourite Pink Floyd albums ?
I am in the process of downloading them all again...
My 1tb external hard drive that I use for backup, was knocked off the table by my dog, and now does not want to play... My whole music collection, and all my hypnotherapy scripts, audio recordings, adn background music, my photo's from the last 10 years, and Tv programs and films... all gone.
before it packed up completely I was lucky enough to rescue my accounts and books for my business.
I like all the early Floyd, but Division bell gets the most play time in my house.... (at the moment).

I don't have that problem as I rarely download, in fact I can't recall the last song/album I downloaded. All albums physically sitting there in alphabetical order on the shelves or in various cupboards (would have to be or I would never find anything), much of my collection is uploaded on my iPod's although I've got out of the habit of uploading every new purchase these days. I still love the fun of searching albums from various sources, picked up four cracking albums for £8 a few weeks ago

Animals has always been my favorite. Gilmour's playing is monstrously good.
