good song
Wheat Kings - Tragically Hip
... seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you...
Sundown in the Paris of the prairies In a zippo lighter you see the killer's face There's a dream he dreams where the high school is dead and stark Late breaking story on the CBC, ... seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you...
One of the great songs and albums of all time. To paraphrase a old tv commercial,"Pink Floyd,Blues from the 25th Century."
Hey, good to see you! Merry Christmas!
... seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you...
Heya. Looks like you got a "walk on part" again.
i like that too. you have good taste in music.
we can't do Pink Floyd without doing Comfortably Numb, their best, imo.
Why thank you! So do you. I'm taking requests this evening btw... LOL

Thanks
Yeah,I come over here and to a few other places when I'm bored to just lurk and kill time. No way can I pass up a Pink Floyd thread without commenting,though. Pure genius. I am now listening to the Wish You Were Here album on my computer. "Shine on you crazy diamond" is playing as I type this.
"Goodtime Joe" by Link Wray. I can't find it anywhere. It's a crime that album with Goodtime Joe,Rocket 88,and Backwoods Preacher Man hasn't been put back into production. If you ain't heard Link Wray play Goodtime Joe,you ain't heard rock and roll guitar.

That Pink Floyd concert movie really was something special,wasn't it? I have never seen so many drums in my life,and the girl backup singers were incredible. Reproducing the sounds that are on a Pink Floyd album live is no small feat. I don't know who they are,but my hat is off to them.

Oh, that wasn't Pink Floyd? Here:

One of the "Crown Jewels" of my Record collection is a very rare Japanese Audiophile Pressing, 1/2 Speed Mastered, copy of "Wish You Were Here". It is in mint condition - and the liner notes are in Japanese. I don't know if it was ever imported into the States - I bought my copy in Japan. I've thought about selling it on ebay to buy a new amp for my Stereo System but have no idea what it is worth. I know it is at least several hundred dollars, based on what I've seen other Floyd rarities go for, but am really not sure. I have a few others such as a mint copy, unopened, of the Mobile Fidelity Pressings of "Days of Future Passed", and Genesis "Trick of The Tail", but I know they are valuable but not as rare as the "Wish You Were Here Recording". I figure at auction it could go anywhere between $500 and "oh my gosh".

Nice! I have the 45 of Rapper's Delight - Sugar Hill Gang FWIW...LOL

Goodtime Joe No. That's some pretty fair guitar thrashing,but it's not Link Wray. BTW,Link Wray died this year. He was in his 70's,and playing on a stage somewhere practically every night before he died.
Sorry, my brain's kinda frazzled right now - Christmas Eve and all.

Here's all I could find so far... Link Wray - That'll be the day

Of course it was Pink Floyd. Why did you think it wasn't? Was it because I wrote "concert movie"? If that is it,the concert movie is a movie of a actual Pink Floyd concert that was recorded live a couple of years ago in London. I think it was released on DVD last year. At any rate I bought my DVD of it last year,and it is truly something amazing to watch and listen to. I had never seen Pink Floyd in concert,and I had been thinking it would be impossible to create that sound live. I was wrong. I don't think there was a missed note or a flaw/deviation from the original recording the whole show. I can't recommend that DVD too highly to anybody who loves music in general,and Pink Floyd in particular. Hell,buy the DVD and save money by not having to buy 3 or 4 CD's!
BTW,I am listening to "A Momentary Lapse of Reason" right now. Signs of Life is playing.
That's fine. I was reluctant to post anything because I am wiped myself.
"When I die I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather - not screaming in terror like his passengers." - Unk.
Here is another one just for the heck of it. Don't remember where I picked it up though. Probably here. Yeah,that's the man. If you ever get a chance to buy his 1973 Polydor album that is titled,"Link Wray Rumble",buy it! I think it went out of print in 74,and has never been re-released. I finally wore out my second copy,and the only new one I could find was in Germany,and I had to pay 130 bucks for the damn thing! If you had any idea how cheap I am,that would really mean something to you. I never paid even $20 for a album before or since. BTW,seems like he put out a couple of albums with "Rumble" in the title because it was his best known hit. If it doesn't have Goodtime Joe,Backwood Preacher Man,or Rocket 88 on it,it's not the right one.
Of course it was Pink Floyd. Why did you think it wasn't? Sorry, my mistake, I did think it was Pink Floyd, then when I saw this part of your previous post: ...I don't know who they are, but my hat is off to them... I figured it was an imitator. I was looking around on the 'Net while I was listening to that one. Now I understand what you mean. Yes, I agree, a good sign of an extraordinary band is when they can sound on stage like they do on a studio recording. I saw Johnny Cash live and he could do that. April Wine is another band I saw live and they did it extremely well. Now, Pink Floyd is a whole different story... incredible musical genius indeed.

Coolness!

Saved, thank you sweety!

Strange, I can't find 'Goodtime Joe'. That one I posted as such was titled that.

I'm experiencing lots of those lately... LOL Signs of Life

I'm long overdue for a nap. 'night all!

'night all! Amen! Ditto! Merry Christmas to All!

Hi, pete.
I've never been able to find it either,but a friend of mine did find just that one song one time at one of those download sites. He just couldn't remember which one when I asked him. What is the oddest is that "Link Wray Rumble" was his best album and his best selling album. Yet it is the one that has never been re-released.
Okay, I'm getting closer... ... seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you...

Wheat Kings have all their treasures barried
All you hear are the rusty breezes
Pushing around the weather vane Jesus
Maybe it's someone standing in the killers place
Twenty Years for nothing well that nothing new
Besides no one is interested in something you didn't do
Wheat Kings and pretty things,
Lets just see what the morning brings
It's a museum and we're al locked up and after dark up in it and after dark
Where the walls are lined all yellow gray and sinister
Hung with pictures of our parents prime ministers
Wheat Kings and pretty things,
Lets just see what the tomorrow brings
A nation whispers "we always know he'd go free"
They add "you can't be fond of living in the past,
Cause if you are then there is no way you are going to last"
Wheat Kings and pretty things,
Lets just see what the morning brings
Wheat Kings and pretty things,
Thats what tomorrow brings

ever heard of GEMM before? found this nice little 1/1/74 Polydor pressing, release no. PD 6025 on there for $22, and the dealer is in the U.S. there was another one for $18 in France. they have almost anything you can think of listed on there, and lots of classic vinyl. I picked up a complete cd collection of "The Sensational Alex Harvey Band", along with 'Framed' and a few others with no problems. was able to get them all through their approved dealers and the shipping wasn't much on ones that came from europe.
