GUITARS! | DAVID GILMOUR (Pink Floyd - and SOLO) | Don’s Tunes

David Gilmour: 

It's always been different guitars, different amps and different effects. Sometimes you go in the studio and one guitar will sound great and you play well because it sounds great. The next day you go back into the same studio and plug in the same guitar into the same amp which has not been touched and it sounds awful. So you have to try a couple of other guitars and find one that sounds good on that day. 

All guitars are different from each other. Some I buy because they are old and beautiful. But the new Fender Vintage Series guitar I bought is probably as good as any Fender I own, old or new. There is something to be said for working in a guitar over time. They may be in my imagination but it seems to feel like that to me. I also tend to like guitars without the new sticky varnish on the neck. In fact I've had Charvel make me a few necks without varnish.  

: I usually go over my mistakes so I don't have to go back and cringe a few years later. On very few occasions have I left a clunker. There are some mistakes that you like. If there's a mistake that I don't like, I change it before it gets out. I've got to live with this for years, but a lot of solos come out of clunkers. I tend to go for a solo by just putting on a guitar without even thinking about the key or anything. I just hammer through it until it feels right. I try to get disoriented, if you like. That helps me find an approach which I refine and work on.  

I don't try to get it right at all -- I'm not interested in that. I'd much rather just be wild and forget any sense of getting it right. I have time to get it right later. Out of those wild moments come good ideas that I work on, so I punch in a fair amount. Most of the solos start with doing ten different tracks. I wind up taking parts from three of them and sticking them together. I look for certain moments and if these moments match up with other moments that are right, those are the bits I keep. I'm looking for feel and a sense of movement. I don't think about it, I just say what's right is right. Performing live you try to get it right and you also try to be brave. It doesn't matter if you drop a clunker. The record lasts, the performance is transitory. They have different priorities. I'm an enormous fan of Jeff Beck because he is not afraid to screw up. People who are tend to get boring.

The Last of Syd (Barrett) 'Jugband Blues' - PINK FLOYD | Manchester Arts Lab 1967

 Syd's last song with the Floyd

Syd Barrett /Pink Floyd - "Jugband Blues” 

LAST SONG with Floyd December 1967 - London Line promo video

Syd Barrett /Pink Floyd - Jugband Blues” is featured on their second album, A Saucerful of Secrets, released in 1968. 

Written by Syd, it was his sole compositional contribution to the album, as well as his last published for the band.

The video features Barrett (shown with an acoustic guitar for the first time) and the group miming to the song in a more conventional stage setting, with psychedelic projections in the background. The original audio to the promo is lost, and most versions use the BBC recording from late 1967, consequently causing sync issues most evident as Barrett sings the opening verse.The original film was considered to be lost, until it was re-discovered in the Manchester Arts Lab in 1999. Barrett and Waters first watched the promo video during the second week of December 1967.

Pink Floyd - Tokyo, Japan - 1972 | VOODOO WAGON

Pink Floyd - Tokyo 1972 - Dark Side premier | Voodoo Wagon

Now I have gone banging on about Floyd for an age on here and left them to their own devices round about here 'Dark Side...' and 'The Wall' I really thought were sophomoric and naive, UmmaGumma, Meddle and Obscured By Clouds notwithstanding, I was a die hard Syd fan so Piper was always my favourite album . . . . . but this radio broadcast and premier of the new album DSOTM is worth a visit for sure. Slightly ‘hot’ for me in the first  section (7 tracks ) but the following are all worth checking out. 

Its from the Boss over at Voodoo Wagon so you know its worth listening to!

Silent Way says:

"Pink Floyd in their Japan premiere of Dark Side Of The Moon, in a live concert at Tokyo-to Taiikukan in Tokyo Japan on 3/6/1972. The album wouldn't be released until the fall of 1972, so the audience was in for a surprise. This was the first night at this venue, and was recorded and broadcast by Tokai FM in Japan.

The recordings for this broadcast came from 2 different sources, the first 7 songs are from one source and the next 11 are from another. The sound quality varies a bit but I equalized the volumes as best I could. This set from the FM broadcast is longer than the edited version on other sites. 
*Note: The last song (Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun) is the encore from the 3/7 concert, not in the 3/6 set.

Here's a translation of what the Japanese announcer says on track 12: "The first music you heard is not public yet, it’s new music – "Dark Side of the Moon". This will be released in October (1972) in England. After the break, we’ll play their normal hits. We’ll start with tuning." 

check it out!

hmmmm nice tuning . . . . . . . .

and of course as the notes explain the great irony of the cover artwork is that Roger Waters isn't on it!

PINK FLOYD - EAST RUTHERFORD 1987 - So Many Roads

So Many Roads says:

1987 - Pink Floyd's 1987 album, A Momentary Lapse of Reason, was the band's first without long time member Roger Waters. The recording of the album was marked by ongoing legal battles between David Glimour and Waters over the rights to the name "Pink Floyd". In the end, Gilmour won the legal war and the right to use the name "Pink Floyd" in perpetuity. None of the legal issues, nor the absence of Waters, seemed to matter to the fans. The album went to #3 in both the US and UK. Pink Floyd launched a North American in 1987, even before the album was complete and shows sold out instantly. The tour quickly went world wide and wouldn't end until after 200 performances for an audience of 4.25 million fans. This soundboard captures the band that tour, on October 11, 1987, 35 years ago today, in East Rutherford.

Pink Floyd - San Francisco 1970 - Radio Broadcast - Floppy Boot Stomp

Wonderful TV broadcast audio quality Floyd from way back and really worth listening to . . . . . I am listening today to this as its so hot here . . 27 degrees . . . . . 

"Icy wind of nights be gone this is not your domain"
In the sky a bird is heard to cry
Misty morning whisperings and gentle stirring sounds
Belied the deathly silence that lay all around

Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer, making for the sea

In the lazy water meadow I lay me down
All around me golden sun flakes covering the ground
Basking in the sunshine of a bygone afternoon
Bringing sounds of yesterday into this city room

Hear the lark and harken to the barking of the dog fox
Gone to ground
See the splashing of the kingfisher flashing to the water
And a river of green is sliding unseen beneath the trees
Laughing as it passes through the endless summer, making for the sea"

Pink Floyd - KQED Studios
San Francisco, CA.
April 30, 1970
Master broadcast version @flac & 320
aka - An Hour with Pink Floyd

Cover Art Date is incorrect 

 

Live performance by Pink Floyd on 4/30/1970. This set was recorded and broadcast separately on KQED FM and KQED TV in San Francisco CA. The band plays the first side of their not yet released album Atom Heart Mother (1970), 3 songs from Ummagumma (1969) and 2 earlier songs from 1968 releases. 

Widely bootlegged in the decades since, the performance is now officially available on DVD from the band. Recently, KQED unearthed raw footage of Pink Floyd's performance, which included a half hour of music not included in the original program. After months of negotiations, KQED has been granted the right to exclusively premiere film of one of those songs, "Astronomy Domine." [Video is at the end of this post.]

 

Read the story @KQED

I had no idea this existed and maybe I left Pink Floyd behind after Syd left  but that's not entirely true. I really left them around the time of Dark Side and found it crass and boring as I have said so Umma Gumma and every album up to Moon I have and I DID worship Roger and Dave Rick and Nick for quite some time. Meddle I LOVED! But then the Dark Side and the dreadful Wall stuff left me cold and thought them obvious, cliched, laughable and really really well, dull!

This is a fine recording of a fine performance  from San Fran TV!  At the bands peak . . . . . IMHO

Enjoy! I did!
