You’re always welcome Sealyman! Isn’t this fab!?
69/70/71 I just loved The Floyd. I'd liked Arnold Lane and See Emily Play but not heard either of the first two albums. They played Sheffield regularly and I saw all the gigs over that three year period. "Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast" live with all that stuff going on. "The Massed Gadgets of Auximenes" for goodness sake. Building up to "Atom Heart Mother" and "Meddle" and then "Dark Side" in stages. Almost all about Gilmour and his Strat for me. I had a group of pals and we were all over The Floyd. By the time I got to Birmingham "Wish You Were Here" had come and gone making little impact on me and (what was for me) finally "Animals"...all a bit of a Shrug.
I went back and bought "Wish You" fairly recently and the song for Syd is obviously good but......... Also I positively disliked the single "Another Brick in the Wall" and have never listened to the whole album. Maybe the fact I was starting out as a teacher had something to do with that.
Of all the music from the 60s and very early 70s the Floyd's is still right up at the top of any notional play list I might have.
Wow Sealyman! Awesome account and reflections. Love it. I have said on here I think, something of my own thoughts on the Floyd and how much I loved the first album and Piper still means a great deal to me as does/did Syd . . . . I stayed with them up to Dark Side and then dreadful Brick etc with its juvenile politicking left me cold (poor Roger) I then it took more mature exploration with the band when David took a more forward role and I have followed him ever since. We so easily forget that it was Gilmour who was incredibly close to Syd early on. Well said anyhoo Dave! Thanks as ever for dropping by to share (Piper At The Gates of Dawn would always be in my top Thirty, Ten, THREE sometimes! long story . . . . )
