So on this meddle era PF kick and was looking into Live in Pompei

this was an interesting tidbit
The hip hop group the Beastie Boys made a music video for their song "Gratitude" that appears to be a homage to the film. Shot by David Perez in New Zealand in addition to copying its directorial style of slow horizontal tracking shots, overhead shots of the drums, close up shots of the bass and multiple shots of guitar filling the screen, the video shows a number of speaker cabinets that the group managed to purchase, still labelled "Pink Floyd, London". The video ends with a message that reads, "This video is dedicated to the memory of all the people who died at Pompeii."[45] The Beastie Boys claimed in interviews that the song and the video came about from their desire to progress from being a straightforward hip hop group and add vintage instruments and old sound equipment to their repertoire.[14]

We've had walky's recap, but how does a lifelong pink floyd fan not discover meddle until their 40s?

and why weren't we graced with a "first listen" video??

Very excited about this show! Such a great album

Orion's Belte

Huh!

661st highest rated album on rate your music!!!

I been listening to Steely Dan’s Royal Scam for two days (in the car). Damn it’s good. The lyrics are whacked…”Agents of the lord..luckless pedestrian….I know you’re out there with rage in your eyes and your megaphones..” for example

707th highest ranked album of all time on Rate your music

I’m going to be listening to Gabriels - Angels and Queens Part One a lot, hopefully it comes out stateside on something other than streaming.. seems to be import only at the moment

And this is hell of a description for a album

The result is Angels and Queens Part One, a stunning mix of haunted gospel, stuttering electronics and timeless melodies. It's as if Marvin Gaye made a record with Portishead, then played it back at the wrong speed.

Great article on the group

Uncomfortably Dumb

Been mentioned before but this one from the Prabir Trio is all kinds of noisy rock goodness…

I owe hutch thanks for having this on repeat on his car stereo so these songs are etched in my brain

Frontwards is my favorite Pavement song and obviously one of my very all-time favorites.

One of the best tunes… haven't been so amped for a show in a long time… actually,  I was this excited for spiritualized but this is different.

Where's the pre show #MeatUp

I am beholden to Sidehatch’s rarefied largesse for my ticket so can’t say…it may not be possible for us depending on his schedule although truth be told I wouldn’t be free to leave too early anyways

Used to meet up right across the street at a nice restaurant. I forget the name.

I think it was chef Geoffs… that area is wasteland for good bars.

That was it!
