this song reminds me of summers gone by in the past. man does it bring back good memories of how life can be so peaceful if that's what you make of it.
@Slimjim54 In a sense it's a blessing I was never able to see them. To know and feel the bliss of those concerts... yeah, I could die peacefully knowing I'd have experienced that, but since I only dicovered them in '79, the whole catalogue was 'before my time' and I never felt a before-and-after like you do.
Come to desert island records, there's only 1 band I would take with me, Pink Floyd, all the way up to The Final Cut. :-)
Do you happen to know where i might find this amazing bootleg? The sound quality is vastly superior to any of the bootlegs i currently have in my possesion! :D
God what that man can do to a guitar. I can't believe I might have read somewhere that Dave thought this was "crap". I could have very well misunderstood what I was reading. but poor confused baby he was to not understand how beautiful this is.
I don't think anyone, at least that this 50 old dude has heard, makes a guitar cry and sound so haunting as Gilmour does on this song and "Time". If there is another guitarist please tell me so I can listen to them and admire their work.
@bgoodmanpc1 - i hear you! i will be 60 in 2 yrs; saw Pink Floyd at Hollywood Bowl 1972 & haven't had a day pass since when i didn't listen to some "floyd". Gilmour touches my soul with his guitar playing like no other.
@lilRadRidinHood When I was growing up in the early 70's other than Dark Side of The Moon, I really didn't appreciate their early body of work, but now I think I like it better than their latter works. I was never really a fan of the Wall.
@bgoodmanpc1 You won't find anyone like David because he began this sound. He of course and as you know had peers who were amazing - like Hendrix, like Lifeson, but David's guitar is both unique and moving and no one ever has touched his caliber and never will again.
The difference a few years make. Floyd existed in a time where true creative talent could also become popular and make hits. Nowadays, you have to dig around the internet to find real talent; they don't go mainstream anymore. Popular music is mostly garbage now. The 70s was the decade of the electric guitar and prog rock, while the 2000's and 2010's are all about male dancers in drag in horrible Gaga vids. Alex, I'll take Pink Floyd for 200, please!
I was 20 years old 4 friends everybody have a strange outfit Renault 4 R4 each part of this car had another colour and I never forget this feeling cildren til 7 years are ...?? evryething which and what cildren get is the origin for their life and now I´m sitting here an dlisten to P.F. in MOntreux-I´ve been there Now I´m 57 years young, three children, hippie, conservative, free(sometimes) I AM
Thanks for sharing this. Never heard this version. Truly Floyd during their peak. Brings me way back. But why are some of the best Floyd treasures (like Atom Heart & Meddle) so buried and hidden from mainstream people? Please share this stuff with your friends, kids, and the next generation. A band as genius and timeless as PF must be shared. RIP Richard! This recording makes me want to cry (partly because of how old David, Roger, Nick, and myself are in 2009. Treasure every moment.
Waters without Gilmour (or visa-versa) would be like Lennon without McCartney. They both fed off each other's talent to make music that neither could have done alone. Mason and Wright (God Bless him) also were amazing. Pink Floyd was one of the best bands ever. Thanks for posting this version of Fat Old Sun, I had never heard it before. Great song, Great band!!!
yeah why can't music of today be interesting like this? i was born in 1975 and the rock of today is horrible.lol i think i was born in the wrong time warp lol
i hear you, it's hard to match the beauty and glory of Pink Floyd - not only were they brilliant but popular; but there's some good stuff out hiding out there, you just have to find the needles in the haystack of your style
I agree...I too was born in '75 and I feel like I should be in my 60's...judging by my tastes in music....the "rock" of today is a bunch of assholes screaming incoherently with distorted "faux-demon" voices. All bullshit!
TreAdos, I don't think anyone could ever describe today's music as well as you just have! It's just what I think, I just would've never thought to phrase it like that = )
@RavishingRedheadd you're not the only one. born in 82'. but its nice to have gems like this that no one could even know what to do with, so enjoy these jewels
@RavishingRedheadd u re lucky, when u were born they were still making good music together. i was born in 89 i feel like an alien next to my friends who listen to their nonsense music. still im lucky that this music exists, there is no way im listening to theirs i prefer being an music hater or an apathetic psychopath! and im lucky because some of my friends likes this real music. always look on the bright side of life as monthy python thought us :DD
Not completely true. Whereas I would not disagree for a moment that Pink Floyd are miles better than anything in the charts over the past, say, 20, years, you must understand that there are actually albums from the 90's/00's - AS GOOD (arguably better).
Let me give you an example of some stuff on a par with the best of Pink Floyd.
Howe Gelb/Giant Sand = Confluence, The Listener
Luke Haines/The Auteurs = Luke Haines is Dead/New Wave/How I Learned to Love the B-Boys
You ae right. I am old enough to have seen them back at the beginning, but I lived in Singapore then. I finally saw them in '71, the first time. But, there is a lot of good stuff around now, also a lot of crap. Those of you born in the 70's would probably not remember how crap the '80's were for music That was the worst period, thanks to Stock, Aitken and Waterman, Mickey Most and a host of other music entrepreneurs who gave the masses what they didn't want, but had to endure.
this is ultra cool...... Gilmour was the Floyd after Syd went away and Syd (Roger) is in all their work, esp. early which is their best. RIP Syd RIP Rick we will love you forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
just a note to rockaires - Gilmour wrote Comfortably Numb and co-wrote the songs on Dark Side. During their big breakup, I was a huge Waters fan and couldn't get into a Waterless Floyd, but the truth is that Gilmour played a much bigger role in song writing than I had previously thought.
Gilmour does do a surprising amount of the writing. There are numerous PF songs attributed to Waters that Gilmour actually contributed quite a bit of lead guitar/solos, most notably Another Brick in the Wall prt 2. I've read in places that Gilmour actually wrote most of the music for the Animals album as well.
the thing in Pink Floyd, is that the guy who came with the general Idea, had the credits, but of course the other members contributed to the song to take it from it's basic form to what you can hear on albums
just my opinion but rick wrights organ kinda sounds like the organ on "thank you" by zeppelin. Not saying zeppelins better , floyds amazing and soooo much better.
No you are not crazy. The reason is not because they are trying to be like The Doors. Its because they are using a Fender Rhodes stage piano and organ. The sound quality of those things sounds pretty uniform across bands and in those days the hammond and the Rhodes were Rock band staples
page is as shit if compared to gilmour. No disrespect to page, great player. But gilmour is the greatest guitar player ever. ever. You understand that? eva...
NO WAY man. You don't know what your talking about. No one comes close to the majesty of Gilmour's musical perfection, artistry of the highest order man. He is a musical artist with a methodology and technique, though simple, can not be copied or emulated by anyone else. Comon now, quit bull shitting, You know I'm right. To say he is among the best is a gross understatement. Hendrix and Beck are among the best. Gilmour is THE GREATEST. Operating on a whole other plane of musical existence.
You didn't understand my opinion, mate. Of course Gilmour is perfectionist and an excellent musician but his glory is dur to the creativiness and genius of Waters compositions. The amazing solos on Time, Money, Comfortably numb, another brick..., final cut and so on could not be possible without the furious mind of Roger. The albums after Waters were very week in comparison. Peace.
One thing you have to agree, you listen to a hundred solos from a hundred live versions of the same music and they are always something different and they all rock. He is a free spirit, he feels the music and plays it, and it always simply rocks. love Gilmour's solos.
But hey, i'm not saying the he is the best of the bests, he is certenly among them,but the best or not i think that has something to do with your personal taste.
I can drive you all crazy by saying: What about Stephen Malkmus? He is a brilliant guitarist, putting out guitar dominated, stoner punk type classic rock since 1991. His most recent album from earlier this year, Real Emotional Trash, is quite a masterpiece.
i think that your right and wrong. i mean yes hendrix and jeff and gilmour are all amazing but i dont think you can rate anyone to be the best. gilmour is my favorite but i wouldnt say hes the best and there may be things about other guitar players that make them better or worse but you cant rate them really. just let them play.
True man, intresting arguement about Floyd and ledzep... but the thing is who would you be able to live without if the Nazis took over and said they were going to wipe out all the music of either Led zeppelin or Pink FLoyd? My life would end without Floyd...Simple as that..
this live performance is the best demostration of the magic and talent of the band. album version is amazing, and this live version is from another galaxy. I think all members were genius and specials. PinkF was not a band with an only star. all of them are stars. From Floydian Venezuela! ManuelC
Great use of the hammond organ in this song. The way it was put together reminds me a little of Zep's Thank You or Your Time Is Gonna Come. Perhaps they were influenced by it?
you should know more about Led Zeppelin......you can't compared Zeppelin To Pink Floyd both are great band.....zeppelin have a lot of virtuosity...pink floyd too...they are too much different and no one beat the other
Man you got to be shitting me... In terms of pure artistry zeppelin is a load of horse shit compared to the majesty of pink floyd. LOVE the zeppelin though.
you will never see a pink floyd again there first 6 years they were a underground band given time to develop then exploded with dark side of the moon and became huge.
that will never happen these days, if u can't be successfull from the start the record company will dump you.
There is simply no contest. Pink Floyd has been light years better than any other band in history of modern music apart from the Beatles maybe. The Led Zeppelin, The Deep Purple are too limited to be compared to the Pink Floyd
what i love about pink floyd is that EVERY song by them is an absolute masterpiece. i mean they pay so much attention ( in the studio) to the arrangments and play them so perfectly. it sounds amazing!
i know! I was watchin some led zep vids here on youtube and everyone was mad as hell that I wrote that pink floyd was better,how could you even compare the two? idiots
This is from the Smoking Blues bootleg. It's probably my favorite Floyd recording. THey were wayyyy better live than on the album songs played: 1)Astronomy Domine 2)Fat Old Sun 3)Atom Heart Mother 4)Cymbaline 5)The Embryo 6)Just Another Twelve Bar 7)More Blues It was to be released as a soundboard recording, but they were technical problems, which David Guilmore can be heard laughing at, and other whatever a Must Find
The CD version is much more subtle and serene, but this one has better vocals and much more "rockish" feeling. Love that song, for me is a msterpiece.

True man, intresting arguement about Floyd and ledzep... but the thing is who would you be able to live without if the Nazis took over and said they were going to wipe out all the music of either Led zeppelin or Pink FLoyd? My life would end without Floyd...Simple as that..

The nazi's are taking over, some of you know who I'm talking about...
My condolences to all the fans, friends and family, we will miss you Mr. Wright.

this live performance is the best demostration of the magic and talent of the band. album version is amazing, and this live version is from another galaxy. I think all members were genius and specials. PinkF was not a band with an only star. all of them are stars. From Floydian Venezuela! ManuelC

So beautifully different from the album version--absolutely gorgeous. It really doesn't get any better than this, does it?

Great use of the hammond organ in this song. The way it was put together reminds me a little of Zep's Thank You or Your Time Is Gonna Come. Perhaps they were influenced by it?

Man you got to be shitting me... In terms of pure artistry zeppelin is a load of horse shit compared to the majesty of pink floyd. LOVE the zeppelin though.

you will never see a pink floyd again there first 6 years they were a underground band given time to develop then exploded with dark side of the moon and became huge.
that will never happen these days, if u can't be successfull from the start the record company will dump you.

There is simply no contest. Pink Floyd has been light years better than any other band in history of modern music apart from the Beatles maybe. The Led Zeppelin, The Deep Purple are too limited to be compared to the Pink Floyd

what i love about pink floyd is that EVERY song by them is an absolute masterpiece. i mean they pay so much attention ( in the studio) to the arrangments and play them so perfectly. it sounds amazing!

The section just past the 5:00 minute mark to around 5:35 reminds me of the Grateful Dead sound.

Davids voice is by far one of the most soothing ever.
And his style is infamous now. Number 1 in my book.

I think you mean "famous", not "infamous", if he's number 1.

Most, not all, but most of my favorite Floyd is pre-Dark-Side and this one is right at the top. Thanks for posting.

The CD version is much more subtle and serene, but this one has better vocals and much more "rockish" feeling. Love that song, for me is a msterpiece.
