Pink Floyd Doco Prime TV. "Which one is Pink"

[Boob Johnson]

Pink Floyd was never the same after the chocolate microdot incident....

do elaborate

[peasea]

I thought that quote was from when the band was being interviewed by a record producer and he asked them stupidly "which one of you is pink?" Included in the lyrics to "have a cigar" from wish you were here album.

That's what I read somewhere and it fits with those lyrics. From what I gathered they walked into a board room somewhere (or possibly a recording studio) and one ponce asked "Which one's 'Pink'?" It really showed the company exec's up for what they were; users who really didn't know anything about PF or their music.

Oh nice dude! I never got my hands on any bootlegs but heard there were a few around. Mind you I haven't chased anything in years. Yes I would have to say the same about that 88 concert., still got my ticket floating around somewhere in a box. I luckily remember most of it

Me too, paced myself I did. We took a mate's bus and got trashed but had a feed before we went in, worked wonders. We still don't talk about the chemical toilet....with no chemicals.

According to the Doco, you're cowwect!

I learnt something new! I never realised this was alluded to on that album.

Must listen to the whole lot again!
I also have half of "Umma Gumma"

Does anyone else ever wonder if Pink via The Wall - really was Syd? A description of madness? (just throwing it out there...have never seen The Wall Doco, so could be stating the obvious?)

Don't think it is, possible it's a mixture of his frustration of loosing his dad in WW2 & loosing his best mate?

I personally loved the Final Cut. His first solo Album was very similar & almost as good IMHO (The Pro's & Con's of Hitchiking). His 2nd album "Radio Kaos" wasn't anything too special.

But agreed Roger was a little over the top with the loss of his father/childhood


Same one

Also have the Syd Barrett story, equally as good, but again im a little bias By the age of 16 I had 20 PF tapes & went to the concert at Western Springs that same year, have always been a huge fan, always will be. David Gilmours playing just gets better & better, simply increadible to watch/hear

what ever you dont no! im the master

I am SO tired today!
I had intended to go to bed early last night, catch up on some sleep, but thanks to that doco, I went and bought "David Gilmour - Live at The Royal Albert Hall" and ended up watching it till after eleven.
The review I read before I bought it was right: this is a SUPERB album - simply amazing. It's recorded in proper Dolby Digital 5.1 sound, and sounded fantastic at 58, even if it did make the room shake a bit (and at one point woke the vifferbabe with a start, although how anyone could sleep through that astounds me).
The camera work is good too, and the 'friends' that helped him out (Phil Manzanera, David Crosby, Steven Stills, David Bowie, et alia did a sterlng job.
I didn't know #2Son paid any attention to me listening to Pink Floyd, but at one stage he wandered in and said, "That sounds exactly like their album!" (This despite the fact there was really only two 'proper' Pink Floyders playing.)
The only bad thing about it was it was kinda sad seeing all these fantastic and skilled musicians in their sixties; youth truly is wasted on the young.
