The Pink Floyd Thread

[drop2d]

Not sure if anyone has ever listened to the "Your Favorite Band Sucks" podcast but they did Pink Floyd this week.

If you're easily offended by people talking shit about your favorite band (probably not if you're on a DMB site ), maybe don't listen. Otherwise, it's pretty funny.

Were he not using the auction to raise money for his charity, it would be cooler if they were just gifted to younger musicians that he appreciates. This would all but guarantee that they would continue to be used as tools of musical creation and expression. I'm guessing a few of the more "reasonably" priced items will end up in the hands of actual working musicians.

Myself and a Friend are registered for the auction at Christies.

Was quite the process.

We are attending the viewing on the 19th and then the Auction itself on the 20th.

I have my eye on 3-4 "lower" end items.

Yeah, it was a bit steep but still probably much cheaper than a broken guitar pick that David Gilmour might have looked at once.
Unfortunately, it's going to immediately be worth $0 once I get it b/c all the pages will be stuck together.

Did you already reserve your spot? I want to attend the viewing on the 16th or 17th but I'm not sure how to go about it.

Yes

From what I told the online registrations for just the viewings will be going up soon for June.

[thedak]

Just checked.

Still can't click on a date and time.

I'd check it everyday.

[blumathu]

Cool thanks. Good tip, I will check it daily.

[thedak]

NYC Reservations are up

[drop2d]

My Christie’s Catalog just arrived and it is glorious. I’m going to need some alone time with this for a while

[Erich]

I'm saving up my summer money for that early years boxed set.

I need to do a floyd-a-thon one day, and just sit with the albums from start to finish with some friends, popcorn, and maybe some pot.

[grilldanmo]

So, did everyone observe the Pink Floyd rule in the days of radio during road trips (or any drive)?

[OK_Ant]

Recently listened to Meddle yet again. Seamus still stinks.

Got my catalog yesterday as well. Also got my spot reserved. Can't wait!

Not going home without that Taylor 712ce

That acoustic Shine On he played on it is hands down my favorite version.

[Dave&Tim41]

If I had the money...... I would buy the entire collection. Lol.

Shine On might be my favorite song of all time. I love this acoustic version and have tried to replicate it many times.

Played a cover of this at a high school talent show about 10 years ago. Gilmour is God

The first David Gilmour podcast dropped today.

Holy shit some of those guitars fetched a lot of loot!

[blumathu]

That is crazy! And it's still going! The Black Strat is the last one, I think it will be the most expensive one to go.

I went to view the collection over the weekend and it was really awesome to take in.

And they're gonna sit up on a wall in some rich cocksuckers mansion
