And my memories still sourond me, in sleep and silent dreaming with Foyd playig behind me. They are emotional music makers. True to there emotions on writing and playign there music. Unlike todays commercial music market,which is insulting to musicians around the world and god knows how long rap and boom bom hip hop stays in favor for the music ceo's, To me its crap, and is unlistenable. And to them this is unlistenable, but Floyd will stand the test of time, as Hip hop will fall as pants rise .
And yes the song reminds meof also layign in the grass at a state park, uot of my mine, or high as you would say, with my girlferiend at the time. And thinking, life could not be more better.And it could not of been since then, 25 years ago. Besides i hersd this when i was like 5 from my teeneage brothers, and Darkside, Meddle, Ummaguma, Abscured, More, before i was 10. So Floyd was always my favorite since i was a child. And so many things remind me in life, If it were not for floyd.
Thanks for the post. I was at the albert hall. Quite poss one of the best tunes of all time from an underated album. This makes me want to cry. Pure genius. He may be gettin on but he just gets better and better.
I think i would of bust a nut also at this concert.
the more i listen to the solo, the more i hear, and the better it is. Gilmour is on this night. As usual. I saw the Kodak Theater in Cal concert. people were drunk and assholes for the most part. Good show though
Is it me or does this trancend time, pure beauty, cant help being transformed to feeling like I'm laying in the grass on a beautiful summers day, genius!!!
The solo in this song is classic. The Live version from th BBC in 1971 was awsume also. It was bootleged. They did there usual 20 minute jam then re-played another verse of Fat old Sun for the ending. Gilmours solo on that recording was one of the best i heard he play.
The best track from Atom Heart Mother.This is one of the earliest solo effort by David.It remains a special favourite with Dave and Nick.Late Steve O'Rourke was very fond of this song,hence they played it again at his funeral as a tribute.Its good to see Dave better the earlier Floyd songs at this age.The song is my fav too.
yes, summer of 68 is the best one on AHM. Not to take away from Fat Old Sun, though, as most songs on that album are memorable and guaranteed to please for generations.
still great. after all these years...

"Atom Heart Mother" is one of their most overlooked works, along with the soundtrack to the french hippie art movie "The Valley".

maybe not THE best but for sure one of the best, I think that Summer '68 is on par or better.
