no relevance to this thread i know, but i'm very friendly with an original floyd member ( before they made it ) a guy called chris dennis, he sang and played guitar alongside waters, mason and wright, Really nice guy and have sat for hours listening to his stories about jamming with hendrix in a dressing room. A pleasure to know him, Lives 5 minutes away from me

Nice one, Barty! I've come across him in some of the early Floyd biogs. So he lives out in Anglesey now? That part of the Pink Floyd story hasn't really been told in any detail before so his stories must be especially interesting...

he has given me a picture of hendrix which he took in 1965 at a gig he was playing at, he has since sold the copyright for it in london for a stupid amount of money

I think you misunderstood me. I meant Floyd sans Waters, to me seemed to be just regurgitating the same old stuff. Yes, 'Amused to Death' is also one of my favourite records.Originally Posted by Covenant
Also 'In the Flesh' - a live recording of Waters doing Floyd numbers and pieces off his solo: 'The Pros and Cons of Hitchiking'. Well worth hearing.

Sorry I mis-read that Barry.
Off to see Australian Pink Floyd at the end of the month. I have been told their show is a good 'un.

Well, I've had the Echoes collection on in the car for a week and I scribbled a note detailing which album each track was from.
It turns out that I like the Floyd signature sound the most; the period from Meddle through to The Wall. The rather dated drum sound on the tracks from AMLOR ruins it a bit for me. The Division Bell is ok.
The earlier stuff, the stuff that I've heard the least of, is quite quirky, having a charming naivety to it. It reminds me of the Lennon tracks from '67-'68. There's something very 'English' about them.

Try these for size - none of them are on the Echoes album & I don't think they're quirky, naive or particularly English sounding (but of course I know exactly what you mean)..................
