He played a nice version of Wots Uh The Deal on that tour.

is that the tour bowie sang Arnold Layne on? I think I might have seen a clip of it.

the banter in pompeii is hilarious. They're such posh gits

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Yeah, I think it was the same tour. He only sang it once.

 

[rettucs]

'Wots uh the Deal' is my favourite song off Obscured, which is a rather great album IMO

the guitar solo

i love the way a load of lads start laughing at the start of the guitar solo

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

It's a bit patchy, but there are a few gems. More is a much better album. I think I like Gilmour's solo version better than the OBC version.

 

[rettucs]

I love the pace and mood of the album. I think its lovely.

Never fully got into More. I like it but not as much as a lot of the others. Maybe having 2 versions of the same song on it (Nile song and the other one, which I preferred) put me off a little bit.

 

[rettucs]

incidentally, do you know where Embryo came from? I only heard it on that early Best Of. I never knew where that song came from, whether it was a B-side, etc

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Do you mean you heard it on Works? I first heard it on a BBC sessions bootleg, a full band version (the works version is a bit stripped down as far as i recall), apparently they played it a lot around the time. Dunno what they intended for it. Its pretty deadly, they should have put it on Atom Heart Mother instead of Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast.

yep, Works.

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I'm generally not a fan of their attempts at funk but they just about keep a lid on it on embryo

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Works is a Pink Floyd compilation album released in 1983 by their former American label,Capitol Records, to compete with their then-current album The Final Cut. The main interest for collectors is the track "Embryo", an outtake from Ummagumma that later became a concert staple in a greatly elongated form, which originally only appeared in January 1970 on a scarce various artists compilation album promoting Pink Floyd's UK label Harvest Records entitledPicnic – A Breath of Fresh Air.

well there you have it

More curious info here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryo_(Pink_Floyd_song)

Of all the early floyd bootlegs I had I think the bbc sessions one was the only one with embryo on it even though it says there on wikipedia that they played it live regularly for up to 25 minutes. this is disconcerting, its like i might have Alzheimers

 

[rettucs]

I love this bit

an outtake from Ummagumma

when you consider some of the nonsense on that album you'd think it would need to be pretty bad not to have made the cut

 

[rettucs]

I'm on a mad Pink Floyd buzz now. Those lads posting those crappy cover versions failed miserably

I suppose it didn't fit in with the live/solo thing they were doing on that album.also the Works version doesn't really sound complete, it's like they didn't know what to do with it yet. The Narrow Way is the only song on that album that's completely shit. Nicks one is unexpectedly good.

Several Species is rubbish. It was our first time hearing Waters scottish accent though

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Several Species is rubbish.

No it is not

 

[rettucs]

ha ha

I got the More and Obscured By Clouds DVDs recently. Spectacular viewing with the sound coming through the speakers.
