Does anybody know if this was an original video or somebody made it recently ? I think it's pretty cool,I dig the song for sure

That song, One of These Days, is off the Meddle LP, 1971, they also had released a movie , it might be an outtake from the movie. of course its been over 30 years since I've seen the movie so my memory of it is shaky at best.

hey, atleast you still remember something from your Pink Floyd Days....

Thanks for posting that....I hadn't heard heard the song in years and wore that album out while at UF.

That's a new video. The fish on the bicycle is from a recent Guiness commercial.

Nice !...A Pink Floyd Post....My Favorite Band ! ....

Yeah, that's the one, and as I remember back in the day, it cost me $.25 to see it, and that was at the La Salle theater on E.185th street, now the Greek Ampitheater admission was 1 drakmar or a goats head and some guy named GMicus was collecting the admission

That movie is "Pink Floyd. Live at Pompeii". Pretty good if you're really into lava flows, of if you're enhanced to enjoy lava flows.

i'm not really big on pink floyd, but one of these days is one of my favorite songs

I always thought it was Muzak-For-Stoners, but I liked "Wish You Were Here" and "Learning To Fly". Other than those and maybe a couple others, it kind of made me drowsy ... although that might just have been from the air quality around the people who listened to it constantly.

Pink Floyd Relics is one I dont have and would really like....just 5 1/2 months to xmas

A neurologist named Oliver Sacks has written a book about music, its chemical/neural effects on our brains, and our ability to experience recall.

In it, he recounts hundreds of test subjects who possessed no developed musical abilities, but had absolute recall of a tune- right down to the exact speed and key of the piece.

Here's an experiment for you Dawgs to try (at least all you Floydheads who who are familiar with "Wish You Were Here"...) Read these lyrics, and see if you don't hear the piece in your head EXACTLY as if you were spinning the disc:

Welcome my son.....
Welcome- to the machine.
Where have you been?
That's alright, we know where you've been.

You've been in the pipeline, filling in time,
Provided with toys, and scouting with boys.
You bought a guitah to punish your Ma,
You didn't like school- and you know you're nobody's foooooooooooooooool...

So welcoooooome...
...To the Machine.


a trip, isn't it?


Floyd was great at crafting these simple contructs, and then layering them to produce incredible soundscapes.... soundscapes that stick in the minds of listeners. One of my all-time favorite ensembles.
