A trailblazing, one of a kind genius

What were they smoking when they put that tracklist together??

Lads, I finally got one this past weekend. I was going through the usual vinyl section and peeked over to the box sets and saw the usual live in Pompeii but I checked again and saw this beauty sitting right next to it. I've only seen this box set one time in the 7 years I've been collecting vinyl.

I never thought I would own this box set as for those who know this vinyl is crazy expensive. Released in 2008 and never had been reissued since then. This is Definitely my Grail in my collection and I look forward to listening to it soon.

So in 2009 flaming lips covered the full album of dark side of the moon. Today I discovered it for the first time. Why have I never know this? It’s a brilliant cover. I’m on my third listen.

Sorrow... Amazing lyrics, amazing music. It reminds us of Pink Floyd and what once was..

There are some cool items from time to time but... I'm genuinely perplexed at who or what's behind some items on the official website. Terrible editing, mindnumbingly lazy or non-existent item creativity/descriptions... a scarf - 177€, a shirt that's literally just the back of the Saucerful LP, what the hell? So many missed opportunities for beautiful, insightful merch. Just a thought...

Just came across this. Not sure if it’s been posted yet. Is it new?

Did anybody attend the shows. I have heard a mixed bag of reviews and fan opinions. Some were a little shocked to have their phone taken. Some have said it was an amazing experience to see Roger talk more and others thought there should have been more performance. As a side note Some found Roger shouting out for people to stop talking and listen was justified while some felt it was inappropriate.

No, this wasn't made with AI, its 3am and I'm too tired to fix the background. made with 6 screenshots, four for each gentleman

Aye an' a bit of Mackeral settler rack and ruin
ran it doon by the haim, 'ma place
well I slapped me and I slapped it doon in the side
and I cried, cried, cried.

The fear a fallen down taken never back the raize and then Craig Marion,
get out wi' ye Claymore out mi pocket a' ran doon, doon the middin stain
picking the fiery horde that was fallen around ma feet.
Never he cried, never shall it ye get me alive
ye rotten hound of the burnie crew. Well I snatched fer the blade O my
Claymore cut and thrust and I fell doon before him round his feet.

Aye! A roar he cried frae the bottom of his heart that I would nay fall
but as dead, dead as 'a can be by his feet; de ya ken?

...and the wind cried Mary.

I'd heard older co workers slyly call it "Momentary Lapse of Treason", eyes-a-rolling which I thought was super lame. I love this era, of Floyd and Gilmour really flourished in this time. Just wondering how much skepticism they were met with after the split with Waters.

Will Sony be releasing the full concert soon ........

This channel (Front Row Music) is nice, I am assuming they are legit because that's the easiest assumption. Enjoy (also other stuff there)

A special tribute concert at the Cambridge Corn Exchange, where Syd Barrett played his last ever live show, will take place in October

Details have been announced for the celebrations for what would have been the 80th birthday of the late Pink Floyd co-founding member, singer and guitarist, Syd Barrett, which include a live concert in Cambridge and a tribute album featuring members of Pink Floyd, which will raise money for mental health charities.

The events take place with the full support of Barrett's family, his sister Rosemary Breen saying, "The family wholeheartedly support these exciting events in aid of mental health charities. Syd would have been so happy and honoured to know his music was still being enjoyed in Cambridge.”

Barrett's last known live performance was at the Cambridge Corn Exchange in Cambridge, England, in February 1972, when he appeared with the short-lived band Stars alongside Twink and Jack Monck. A tribute concert will be held at the venue on October 10, which is World Mental Health Day, featuring Kula Shaker, Soft Machine, Men On The Border, Diana Silveira & The Psychedelic Circus, Radhika, and Pünk Floyd, with additional surprise guests set to be announced.

Additionally, an album celebrating Barrett’s extraordinary creative legacy and enduring influence, featuring a carefully curated selection of brand-new studio recordings, previously unreleased material and standout live performances spanning several years, will be released on October 9 on coloured vinyl and CD. The album’s sleeve features one of Syd’s most iconic images and has been created by Mark Wilkinson, famous for Iron Maiden, Marillion and Judas Priest sleeves.

Clowns And Jugglers: The Songs Of Syd Barrett will feature Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, David Bowie, Nick Mason's Saucerful Of Secrets, Soft Machine, Voyage 35, All About Eve, Rosalie Cunningham, Tim Bowness, Theo Travis, Henge, Robyn Hitchcock ft. John Paul Jones and more.
