What live material is in the vaults?

Ok what with the upcoming live led zeppelin releases do you think the floyd have anything simular in their vaults?

Personally they always struct me as a bit more professional than Zep so i'd not be suprized if a larger number of shows were professionally recorded(and by that i dont just mean a soundboard recording I mean a proper multi-track recording). I'v always heard rumours that most of the latter stages of the animals tour in the US was recorded for a possable live release although i'v no idea if any of the shows were filmed. Other than that the only definate stuff I know about are the amsterdam 69 show, the 1970 live promo and the wall shows. I'd guess that there could also be stuff from the following...

1.Complete recordings of the shows used for Ummagumma.
2.Other recordings of the man/the journey(albert hall being the most lightly) from 69 for a possable live album.
3.Recordings of the early darkside 72 gigs for the band to listen to post show, although these could just be soundboards I spose.
4.Recordings of the US 73 tour for a possable live release after the sucess of darkside.
5.Recording of the knedworth 75 show just because most gigs at knedworth seem to be recorded in some form.

I don't know but the footage on the DSOM EPK look pretty good!

I want everything on a sickeningly expensive DVD box set. Now.

That's for sure.

Don't throw things at me, please.

I've examined both the EPK and the BBC Classic album special (which I was fortunate enough to download online) and the footage is rather doctored for the songs. What I mean by that, is that I have seen that footage in the form of CWTAE, STCFTHOTS and an instrumental Breathe on a VOIO, which is also available online for download, and although those performances exist, that footage was heavily edited to make it appear the songs on the DSOTM EPK and BBC special were being performed, but it's just really scraps of footage from other stuff. So actually, there was really no new live performances of DSOTM (as far as my eyes go)...just edited footage to make it look like they're singing those songs.

Nonetheless, the EPK and the BBC special were great, lots of zooming and sweeping of stills (Ken Burns effect) I haven't seen before...great current interviews with them.

The later '77 stuff would probably not be good because Roger was getting
more and more agitated with the crowds by the time he hit NY and Montreal.If there is a European recording avaliable it might be the
best one to be released from '77.
I'm sure they have an ample amount of recordings from all of their
tours and a box set would be snapped up by every fan worldwide.
(once again we look to Roger,out of all members,to find the possible
snag in this "hold back" of this goldmine to a Floyd Fan.)
As for A DVD: I'm sure someone out there could put together an
excellent Anothology ala Beatles & Stones.There may not be as many DVD's in the package like the examples mentioned above,but it definitely could be done.The only snag is :Is there any or enough footage from 1973-1977 to warrant a decent telling of the Pink Floyd Story!?

Well If they edited the footage then they did a really good job of it!

Whatever his faults Roger doesnt strike me as the sort of person that would strink from releasing footage like that. Personally I think a DVD of the final 77 show where he spits at a fan would make a classic release and would show alot of his motives for creating the wall. It would certainly get alot more media atension than anything else(post syd anyway) and probabley sell better as a result. One of the problems many rock critics have with the band was there facelessness something which such a release would remove.

I want to see Games for May! On a triple DVD, along with studio footage of making TPATGOD, promo films (See Emily Play, Arnold Layne), UFO footage, five men Pink Floyd and everything with Syd and PF until 1968.

Go to pinnaclespeakers.com/pete/pfftp.htm and there's information there about their ftp. There's a bunch of stuff there. It takes forever though, so try it some day when you have nothing to do.

do you mean in their manner in stuff? i agree, but i dont think its good. led zeppelin is your classic, quintessential rock band. they drugged, sexed, and rock and rolled like no other (except maybe the stones). i think its cool that theres all these myths that surround them and stuff (like the shark) and i think it makes them very exciting and fun. i guess im saying that, while pink floyd is my favorite band, they seem a tad bit dull, but thats ok

Got to admit i've never liked Pink Floyd as people that much, always seemed to stuck up or something, although i do love their music and albums e.t.c Led Zepplin i definitly feel are more interesting people though for much the same reasons Tommy said.

Got to say though, the people that make the music don't effect the music for me, that is except people like Gary Glitter who i hate and as a result will never listen to the music off. But Pink Floyd as people certainly don't put me off their music. They're very respectible guys, maybe just a little bit dull and arrogant.
