That sounds great. I think the donation to an educational cause is very worthy. Can I get some details about the event? Feel free to message me. Thanks guys! Can't wait.

Its very fantasy like. Definately check it out.

I was just told by a close friend, that he saw Pink Floyd in1977 at Soldier Field in Chicago. On the "Animals" tour-I believe. See, we aren't few and far between after all...

Good Lord, why did it take you so long to get here? You are in the RIGHT place... Dave Haha...I have many other tricks up my sleeve. I have used The Unicorn for some pre-show/incidental music in some of the plays I have produced. Thanks for the welcome, Dave.

check out Norcostco-theatre lighting store for ideas...

took my sons to see the dark side show. except for his ignorant political views it was great. Agreed. Stick to the music.

I love Anne Azema. The Unicorn-Chants Medievaux is fantastic.

Thanks for all your comments. I am thoroughly enjoying reading these...

I graduated from Duncanville,and I also taught there for 5 years. I recently changed to a new school. Thanks for your kind words about my Dad.

Yes, I think it was around 2005. I remember enjoying it. Australian PF was about as close as I was gonna get...they even had the Pig.

I wish I had the pleasure of seeing Pink Floyd while I was older. While on a trip to Europe in in 1988 (I was 5), they were playing a concert in Versailles, right after Momentary Lapse of Reason was released. I remember being able to hear them through the window of my uncle's apartment. I did see Roger Waters twice though- on the In the Flesh tour in 2001 ish, and when he played Dark Side in it's entirety- I forget the tour name. Anyone have any thoughts on Australian Pink Floyd? They were pretty amusing, too. For those who never saw PF live.

I was wondering that...I was forwarded the post you wrote.

Yes, they sold...

Interesting question. The music was, of course, from the albums and thus the movies don't have anything extra as far as music per se. The movies were fairly lightweight in plot. In my view, the movies were the first time when much of the public could hear The Beatles in full fidelity. The sound systems at many movie theaters were advanced, having been improved for the big epic films of the day in Cinerama etc. OTOH, a lot of people, myself included, had previously only heard The Beatles on A.M. radio, or small, cheap systems, or clock radios. If memory serves, I saw "A Hard Days Night" on a double bill with, "The Russians are Coming, The Russians are Coming." TRaC was marvelous. You kinda had to be there in the Cold War Era, and it was set in Long Island / New England, where I grew up. But the raw musical energy of The Beatles was astonishing. FWIW, I have reports from two women who went to Beatles concerts. They both say they could not hear the music over the screaming of young ladies. WMcD Interesting...what about the two LP releases of Hard Days Night and Help that was the incidental music? They are an interesting addition to a collection. HDN was released last year on cd, but, Help's incidentals have yet to be released on cd. If you can locate the LP, the Sitar versions of some of their songs up to that point are amusing. As far as the concerts...you couldn't hear the music, and the concerts smelled like urine.

Well done, bravo!!! You're dad to a tee. This was one of my favorites for worst of the worst nominations, it causes chills to run down my spine.... and makes me want to run for cover. Well...I know I could never take my Dad's place. (and nor would I ever want to.) But, this has been a good outlet so far, and a great place to remind me that he is here with me right now.

Well said.

I agree, after thinking of the track listing, such experimental sounds and composition.

I am just gonna try to keep my head up, and see how I can help her... Probably wouldn't be surprised...Boxx loved being here...

You know, I neglected to mention "I'll Follow the Sun." I do like that one. Shame on me. I expect more out of myself than that. Let it Be is just such a sad album, their fault or not. It's so cold, and there's not a lot of flow to it. Thoughts? I thought Let it Be Naked sounded a lot warmer, and more fluid. By the way...Dylan excellent writer. Singer....meh...I agree.

Thanks to all...I was touched to see how much of a community of friends Boxx had here.

I am inclined to say yes. How awesome is it that he sought out to ask you this? Obviously he has great taste in music. And..the fact that your 11 year old son wants to do something with you? Besides, you never know how long they will continue to tour. Live it up, if you see fit. That's my parent soapbox this evening.

Excellent. I think some of the songs you mentioned are certainly a few predecessors to stuff on the Rubber Soul album. At least in terms of composition. Ok, least favorite album? Beatles for Sale. A couple of good ones there (No Reply, I'm a Loser). It was along the lines of "what can we put out before Christmas in '64?"

Wow folks...lots of good stuff. You guys really know how to make somebody feel welcome. Any thoughts on Help or Hard Days Night?

Well thank you....I think you will see the similarities that my Dad and I shared. I shall post often, as I learn the ropes around here.
