Pink Floyd Concert

The masters of effect. I remember going to a concert and watching all the teenyboppers, tripping for the first time, waiting for "Money," instead getting freaked out by electronic metaphysics.

I found their first American album in a small music store while visiting Georgetown (in spring 1967, I believe)and have been a Pink Floyd fan ever since. The first album was crude and still there were signs of their magic. Later with Gilmour they reached their peak and still to this day are one of my all-time favorites. Love this older set!!!

I attended quite a few concerts back then, as we all did, and didn't realise I had seen the Floyd in Ca, until years later. I saw Jimi Hendrix and there was another band, good but not Hendrix. Some years later I heard Apples and Oranges, and immediatey knew it. I said I had heard it at a concert. I'm pleased we put my memories back together, but rather sad that I didn't pay them more attention. Next time I saw them Dave had replaced Syd, and for the first time heard Dave sing without Roger. I was blown away by his voice! That was it for me they became my favourite band, and likely always will be. I have found some brilliant shows on Utube, and highly recommend the concert recorded on French telly from San Tropez.

I'll vote with kmnfm. I saw the band around this time, with that mix of Ummagumma and Echoes, probably in 1971. It was at the Salem (Oregon) Armory. It was a crowd of maybe a couple thousand, with most everyone sitting on the floor (the place felt like a high school auditorium). I can still hear Granchester Meadows and Echoes and Careful with that Axe, Eugene. Despite the crappy acoustics, the sound was just stunning. The thing that really sticks in memory is that I was surprised almost every other minute. They had this knack for doing the unexpected over and over, yet every sound and break somehow managing to sound like it belonged exactly there. And about how many bands can you say that?

Another great show from the best band every. I saw their first show in SF in fall of 67, never missed another untill I quit going to big venues. I think the best show they put on was in Winterland fall of 71 when they did their Meddle tour. I was sitting in the balcony just above the stage right when they were cookin' Echos, the lights went down and when the lights came back up the band had left for a break, the tune was still going full on, just reverbing with the insturments sitting infront of the amps, a complete mind f**k. The last big show I went to was their Dark Side tour at Winterland, another memory. Quit going after that, seemed like the intimate feeling of the small ballrooms got lost somewhere. Too many props, too much show, their music didn't need that, it was better when they just stood there in their jeans and t-shirts and just played their asses off.

Love it. Yes, I would like more Floyd - even earlier Floyd if possible. I read the last interview with Jimi Hendrix a while back. He was a big Floyd fan since their first tour together in 1967 (original Floyd with Syd). Of course they were big fans of Hendrix too. And Mason loved Mitch Mitchell's drumming (don't we all?). Here's a quote from the interview. Hendrix used to call them the "mad scientists" of rock and he would tease Syd during the tour because Syd was always frowning. "You've already expressed appreciation in one paper for Pink Floyd, one of the things you admire about Pink Floyd and things they're doing. HENDRIX: Oh yeah, well they're doing like a different type of music, they're doing more of like a space type of thing. I mean inner space it seems like. And technically, you know, they're getting into electronics and all this. Yeah, they do like a space type of thing, like an inner space type of thing and sometimes you just lay back by yourself and appreciate them. That's the type of music they're into, so it's good.
