What are you listening to right now ?

Indeed, I was playing WYWH and DSOTM just this morning, and I occasionally play the earlier LPs, but really I don't like the albums Animals and beyond. Just not to my taste!

Robert (who really dislikes Yes and Genesis!)

I thought Animals was OK (perhaps because I saw them play part of it in its formacy in 74). I bought The Wall when it came out but I have never really liked it and as for Roger’s indulgence that is The Final Cut. Not at all.

Before COVID I saw a Floyd tribute band play all of WYWH and Animals in a local theatre. Being local we met a few people we knew who had seen Roger Waters around the same time. It is telling that they preferred the tribute band 🤣

I hear ya Bob, but they are like a favorite grandfather. As time passes, you spend most of your time enjoying your good friend and meeting new ones, but it's still nice to sit down and spend an hour with your Grandfather. Even if you have heard his stories (songs) a million times

If you haven't heard a Polish band called Riverside have a listen on your streaming service of choice. Their original guitarist was obsessed with Dave Gilmour. They even have a track which morphs into Shine On You Crazy Diamond and back out again.

I have no streaming service at the moment, but have pulled them up on you tube. I'll check it out. This conversation reminds me - Les Claypool (of Primus) has a "Live Frogs" album where they do all of Animals (which is excellent), also some "Discipline" era King Crimson. An interesting LP

I understand the sentiments toward Roger. A brilliant guy, but obsessed with proving to everyone he is right about everything. I saw him when he did the DSTM tour, then the Wall (complete with a wall) a few years later, twice I think. Then I skipped the "Us and Them" show (and the $250USD ticket price) and a friend told me it had gotten over the top with his political sentiments. "Stay in your lane" doesn't work with that type

Mine was pretty quiet until a a loud long click in Pigs On the Wing Pt 2. I ended up cutting 7ms...

I hate to tell you this is a pristine copy and the FLAC is perfect as a result. Probably needledropped this 5-6 years ago.

Good job he doesn't work for the BBC 🤣. Check the UK news for context.

I am guessing this rendition of Shine on You Crazy Diamond would not meet Roger's approval, but it is quite good

This is a great album, my vinyl copy survived a burglary with the four prints still present. I scoured all the local secondhand record shops to locate my stolen LPs.

This is more Springsteen than Springsteen. Maybe even more than The Hold Steady or The Gaslight Anthem 🤣

Is it any good?

I found a suggestion on a forum that performing click detection on a reversed waveform reduced the incidence of false positives so I tried this with "On The Run". Wave Corrector found around 1450 clicks forwards but 9250 clicks reversed 🤣. It actually sounds very similar backwards 😀
