I found this video on you tube. I am pleased to see that people take the time to share their love for music on the internet. It takes about 30 minutes and you’ll go back to the sixties. It was the last occasion where Syd played on his guitar. So you can hear the old Pink Floyd sound at it’s top. Later on David and Roger became influential.
I still can be bad tempered when I think of the fact that in the late sixties our radiostations only broadcasted popular music. Even “Veronica”, an illegal radiostation in the Netherlands those day’s, only broadcasted the short “2,5 minute” pop-songs. Living the eastern part of the Netherlands I was therefore dependent of radio “Luxembourg” wich was a radiostation who gave me the opportunity to listen to the longer songs (14 minutes were normal in those days), but only at night.
So, at night in bed, sleepy listening to my small radio-receiver, I heard it all. I didn’t need a joint to imagine the thoughts and visuals that directors usually show with the music. When I hear those sounds now (35 years later !), I go back in memory at once.
A lot more Pink Floyd is here.
The music Pink Floyd made is timeless, in my humble opinion. Musically Roger Waters and David Gilmour are for me, what Bach and Beethoven are for so many others.
One response to “good old “Pink Floyd”.”
U r rite..the music by Pink Floyd is timeless! ..I wonder if we had no Floyd..there wud have been no meaning to this world of music!
They will shine on..!
