Pink Floyd In Paris, 1969

Saw Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets: Echoes tour in DC last night. Among lots of funny little things Nick said, he introduced Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun thusly:

"We're going to play a song now that is very near and dear to my heart, because I spent many a year watching Roger Waters bang holy hell out of this gong, and I was never allowed to play it. But, I've got my own gong now and I've given myself permission to play it." 😌

If you're a Floyd fan and you get the chance, go see the show. It was absolutely wonderful. All the pre-Dark Side classics were played and some of the more obscure stuff - like Vegetable Man, one that NO OTHER member of Pink Floyd or Floyd tribute band has ever played live - and they use the "old ways" for producing unique visual effects each night (e.g., using 2 concave clock faces, baby oil, ink, and water to create live lava lamp-like projections). All the old hippies in the audience were bouncing in their seats or jumping out of them to dance. Nick is SO sweet and funny, you can tell by watching him that he's having the best time. The band is also phenomenal and work really well together (Guy Pratt's in the band!). 10/10, if he had another show booked closer I'd see it again. The merch is nice too!

— DIDN’T THEY DO WELL T-SHIRT — 🎸

‘Didn’t They Do Well’ was a catchphrase from then popular British ‘The Generation Game’ show, produced by the BBC, in which four teams of people from the same family, but different generations, competed to win prizes. The programme was first broadcast in 1971 and ran until 1982, and again from 1990 until 2002.

Early in 1973 David Gilmour was snapped wearing this red ‘Didn’t They Do Well’ t-shirt in a series of poses whilst strumming a guitar and twiddling the knobs at his home recording studio in London.

When I’m calmly enjoying a Roger Waters song then suddenly there’s a huge explosion sound effect I forgot about

my favorite genre is “i loved it so much and i would not recommend it to anyone” ❤️

This meeting could’ve been a prog rock concept album

Mens fashion in the 1960s was just

*wears the stripiest pants ever*

*wears an 18th century style coat*

*wears circulator glasses*
