Nice link.

 

Looks like the umbrellas were designed by Ted Happold and Frei Otto. I can't remember where I got the Roger Dean reference.

 

We all thought the figures floating down in parachutes were pigs, but they were sheep.

 

I also thought they came from the exploding pig, but they were shot from cannons from the side of the stage.

 

Funny how the mind works (doesn't).

 

Seems Roger Waters doesn't think 100,000 stoners can appreciate lyrics while partying. This is funny, since we sang along with them on and off. To think that the fans aren't connecting with the music (which is what brought them there to begin with), shows some real brain damage.

 

"The enormous crowds on this tour began to bother Roger as he felt the crowd were there to party rather then contemplate the music and the lyrics. At the show in Cleveland, someone climbed onto the giant cable that stretched across the stadium and carried the pig. On the bootleg, an announcer can be heard pleading with the person telling them If anybody has hold of the other line on the pig up there, please let go, its very dangerous. We’re trying to bring it back in from over the audience. Please! Please let go of the line if you have your hand on the line.” Ten days later in Montreal, the famous "spitting" incident would happen, where Roger, supposedly spit on a fan who wouldn't be quite, and from his experience on this tour came up with the concept for The Wall, feeling that there was a metaphorical wall between the band and the audience. This idea came to fruition on The Wall tour 3 years later when a 40 foot wall was gradually erected between the band and the audience."

it was more of what the mind was on !

I wonder soon after you become a 1%, you lose touch of what the 99% is?

Oh Maggie Maggie what have we done

 

It is rather difficult to pin down one album as a favorite. I would say that there is not one album by Pink Floyd that is NOT a favorite.

I do find that Pulse seems to get twice as much play time though, but I count that as part of the collection of many albums, As much as I prefer the later albums, I also have to spend some time with the early albums, 1967 to 1971, ..

Lately I have been spinning more of Roger Waters, the amount of pain that comes through his compositions is really unique.
