    Pink Floyd - Early years footage 1968-1972 on the BBC

    If you go to the BBC iplayer website you can see last night's broadcast of an hour's worth of newly released vintage footage, presumably as a taster for the box set.

    Highlights for me included live versions of Atom Heart Mother (with and without choir) and Let There Be More Light with some great extended improv from Gilmour.

    But hurry - only available on the iplayer for 29 days.

    I blame Wynton, what was the question?

    Some interesting stuff on their. Most poignant actually were the stills at the end from the Obscured by Clouds sessions, with Wots..Uh The Deal playing over them. Some really nice candid shots of them all enjoying themselves and getting on....even one of Waters with an acoustic and a broad grin on his face.

    Intriguing how bad David Gilmour's singing was on the earliest tracks. Either he got better or began to restrict himself to songs that suited his range.

    Shouldn't most of this footage be released in the upcoming boxset and the ensuing single discs affair the year after?
    my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.

    I enjoyed the thing they played with one of the band members plucking piano strings. An avant-garde piece that reminded me a lot of stuff by Egisto Macchi and the Ennio Morricone group he was in.

    Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?

    Ya know, it burns me up that we don't get stuff like this in the U.S. I've been seeing this kind of television going on in England for a long time now and I'm jealous. It seems the BBC is always putting on some cool music shows and documentaries and all we get over here are the Kardashians,400 shows about cops and the world saving adventure they have every week, reruns of lame ass "comedy" shows or some pukefest of pop, hip-hop or country noise where you always have the sneaking suspicion that all those people on the stage are not really human. They're manufactured somewhere in an underground factory in Detroit.

    You read of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, The Who and other bands having shows in church basements in England. If that were to happen here, they would demand the church be destroyed (Well, the kind of church I had to go to anyway. Southern Baptist. Its a religion where you go to church and get yelled at for being a sinner. Wonderful stuff for little kids to hear). I got a job at Burger King and volunteered for Sundays to get away from that nonsense, but I digress.

    Pentecostal churches in my area held their separate meetings after church service and practiced Luciferian concepts. Most unenjoyable right? I support you regarding the Southern Baptist encounter. I experienced the same thing in West Virginia for a short time in my youth. But just the correct amount of time to transform me into the most bitter and resentful teenager to walk the earth. Not quite as extreme or internal as River Phoenix after his departure from "The Children Of God"...but pretty close to arriving to the same triggers he most likely experienced. Regarding the run through of BBC documentaries and full concerts...I just wait until they are posted on Y.T. but you are a hundred percent right about the U.S. broadcasting and it's a letdown for sure.
