*REBOOTED FIRST POSTING 12-1-19
*AUDIENCE RECORDING
I remember when "Dark Side Of The Moon" came out. I also remember how many of my friends gushed over it. To me, it was alright, but I never thought it deserved all the accolades it got. I thought it was just a metaphor for all the cool kids to let you know that "Yeah I smoke weed" but will keep it on the down-low and listen to DSOTM. I still think "The Wall" is overrated when you consider it's a double album with about six actual "songs" I do love "Wish You Were Here" though. I like the "song side" of "Meddle" but never listen to "Echoes" (not enough time) Which brings me to "Atom Heart Mother" it is still my favorite PF record. My favorite cut on AHM has to be "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" from the first time I heard it I loved it. I can smell the bacon frying, the sound of the corn flakes being poured into the bowl, and of course the faucet drip, and from what I understand original pressing's of the vinyl have the faucet drip go on into infinity if you did not have an automatic turntable. I'll bet right now somewhere there is some acid casualty, sitting with his headphones on, who is now a pile of bones, still wondering what is leaking??? That brings me to this boot. It is not of the sound quality that I normally try to post. But in a way it's kind of a historical document. When you read the scans you'll see it is the only time they performed it live and captured on tape. (Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast) One other thing I don't see this posted a lot. I know over at "The Wagon" my last post was yet another PF boot, but hey it's always been about you and what I think you're looking for. However on numerous occasions I post what I like in hope that you'll listen to it and hear what I hear and like in it. SEE SCANS

WITNESS THE MAN WHO WAVES TO THE WALL MAKING THE SHAPE OF HIS QUESTION TO HEAVEN
Around 1970, when I was 14, i had the luck to live as a school student in a catholic monastery with a (for these times) perfect record collection, so the early Pink Floyd (as the pre-"In Rock"-Deep Purple) was part of that (in reality, "those", every group had its own collection). I remember well falling in love with "Umma Gumma". So I second a bit your emotion on DSOTM and "I Wish You Were Here".
ReplyDelete"Animals" was the point I turned away from one of my fav. bands then. Aside of my personal feelings on those records i accept them as kind of milestones but "The Wall" never expressed my feelings as a young man as ie. "Quadrophenia" by the Who did. So after "The Wall" i was completely into another kind of music like reggae, punk and - surprise! - more that westcoast psychedelia kind of stuff - so I ignored the band even my heart always was beating for the Syd Barrett influenced or more experimental version of Pink Floyd reflecting all the innocence music was made then.
As always with bootlegs: it's not about the perfect sound quality of a recording - that's maybe a bonus - it's about folks celebrating music at that special point in time and space, the moment(um). So I enjoy this one missing in my collection of records from 1970. The sound is fair enough to have fun listen to it. ;)
