You'd think the French would "get" Pink Floyd--not clap as if to bubblegum pop. Now when I was growing up in the midwest in the early 80's, you often heard The Wall and Dark Side of the Moon on the radio, but never this 60's-with-Syd material. I mean NEVER. I didn't know it existed. In those days before recent advances in info tech, info about bands other than The Beatles wasn't readily available if you lived in Podunk, Michigan. And an album like A Saucer was hard to find.
I am watching this video with my French girlfriend and she's embarrassed by her fellow French clapping hands at Pink Floyd. I find it quite amusing actually, very surreal, it seems they are not paying any attention to the music at all.
By the way, playing the bass has NOTHING to do with your height. It is stupid to think that only tall people play the bass, I'm a professional bassist, and I don't think that height plays any role in bass playing.
Yeah--I mean I'm what, 5'4 at most (I don't know) and I've played guitar for a bit, and I got a bass a short while ago, and I have to lean a bit to reach the farthest tuning peg. I think that being tall means you can also reach the end of the neck with no problems, and you also don't get dwarfed by the thing!
(Gotta friend, stood next to him and said he was about two inches taller--which means he'd have to be 6'4, and that's without shoes I believe he said!)
Priceless! On the original recording of RAD (that they're miming to), Syd Barrett played the guitar, so Dave didn't have a clue as to the parts to fake, and in the studio Nick surrendered his drumsticks to producer Norman Smith - Nick had no idea what to do either! WOW WOW WOW !!! Where is all this stuff appearing from?
LOL they start becoming smart asses when "Remember A Day" starts and pretend to pretend playing the song. it's great and Roger seems to have thought it was funny as hell.... that's funny
It's not Barrett, idiot. It's David Gilmour. Syd was already out of the band when this performance was done. It's from 1968. It clearly looks like Dave too. Barrett played on the song but it's David. You obviously don't know what Syd or Dave look like.
lol... haha they look so mad.. roger waters not even singing his part, the guitars are not connected either hahaha y sin microfonoss ke perro,, how can they maked them do this..!!! probably there was a lot of money involved haha
yet is amusing how the band stil get some laughts in between during the whole performance, where ver its because the whole faking or the odd situation,...maybe they're laughing of something else, but come on its right upon our noses, its a very quirky situation for god sake.
Again, the Floyd were horrible at faking it, so much so Dave didn't start to pretend to sing on the last song at all. Then they all got a good laugh at it too!
This also had to be the squarest looking crowd they had ever played in front of! "Now lets all clap along to the wierd music of zee pink floyd!" LMAO!! :P
it's hilarious watching them laugh at the phantom instruments as they fake away.

Key features of a bassist are sense of rhythm, harmonic sense, creativity, touch...
I think that having long arms or hands comes really last in the list...

He's pretty damn tall, that's a fact. Haha. Apparently his height made him a shitload more intimidating... I don't blame them!
But even so, Roger's fucking amazing. And he's kept himself well over the years!

It seems that most taller people play the bass with Flea being the exception. I play bass as well as guitar, but am only 5 foot 9.
