Saucerful Of Secrets.

Hey, I love Saucerful of Secrets, it is a fantastic song, very magical, and I have just listened to the version from Montreux casino. I was wondering if anyone knows of a LONGER version of the song? I heard there is a twenty minute version somewhere out there, like the 24 minute version of Any Colour You Like. Can somebody help me out?
P.S. Does anyone know where I can find the UmmaGumma Live disk, not the first disk that is a compilation of live tracks, but the second disk, they toured it didn't they?

What's the date for the 24 minute any colour you like?

The longest ASOS I have, I think, is around 25 minutes long, and thats 1971-04-03, and has a short pict rant before Celestial Voices. There's a 22 minute version on Interstellar Filmore, but that includes tune ups and whatnot, a 23 minute version on Bovine Psychosis 1970-10-23 (which is fan-fucking-tastic, it has the percussive piano and all). There are many long, live versions.

Thanks a million. You know, I find that the Studio Version, "Celestial Voices" would be a good funeral type song.

Mortality sequence would be the best funeral song, I think. But then again, that does sound similar to celestial voices.

ASOS is about a battle, and Celestial Voices is the requiem for the dead soldiers. I always prefer the live versions, with all the band playing. And Dave usually did a good job with the vocals.

Actually, R. Waters, and D. Gilmour said that it was based on a picture that the band had drawn, and they tried to write the tunes within the canyons, and trees, and such. There may have been a battle within the picture.

Yep, and their knowledge of archictectural stuff had helped a lot on it... But for what I know, the picture was drawn only by Waters and Mason. Gilmour never have nothing to do with archictecture, he and Wright helped in the musical ideas.

I've heard about both ideas, I forget where I saw it, but they said "Some thing else" was the opening part of the war, syncopated pandemonium was the war itself, storm signal was the aftermath, and celestial voices, as said previous, was the requiem for the lost soldiers.

Well, I don't know I wasn't there, and to be honset, I don't really care which side of the story is true, because I'm not in Pink Floyd, if I was it would be my business, I just wanted the longest version.
