Pink Floyd The Early Years 1965-1972 -Anticip/ation

Yes it has. And it's a bit longer.

 

Even better, but 'one day', sadly, sounds like 'don't hold your breath....

Maybe they can release it along with the Bernie Andrews' tape of the 1967 BBC session.

Shame those things are not in this box set but one needs to have a glass half-full attitude about these things, I suppose.

 

Oh YES!!!

 

Maybe there will be a 5.1 blu-ray box someday incorporating all the albums in 5.1.

 

I don't know if it would represent a whole show, but it was certainly all they considered for release.

 

On setlist.fm I found the Mothers and Manchester College of Commerce performances.
Pink Floyd Setlist at Mothers, Birmingham »
Pink Floyd Setlist at College of Commerce, Manchester »
Don't know if these sets are complete... The Mothers concert even shows that they performed two more songs (Let There Be More Light, and an instrumental improvisation).
Seems that the setlist was switched temporary (because of recording the shows for the known live LP). Most of the other performances, before and after, were The Man & The Journey stuff.

 

I'd prefer the song titled with only one word: "Axe"

 

I always favoured 'Beset By Creature's of the Deep' as the title. When Rog screams, it's like being pulled under. Although I have a boot from Southampton Uni '69, that features the same tune played twice - once in tic-toc style as CWTAE and once with the bluesier intro they used when segueing into Green is the Colour, as BBCOTD. Short of material? Or possibly a mixed source for the boot? The second version is much closer to the 1970 versions that circulate. For a b-sde to a single nobody bought, it proved pretty durable!

 

Still played as late as 1977.

 

Cool! Is the Southampton concert from soundboard or audience tape? Don't know many bootlegs. I love to collect soundboard recordings.^^

 

I'm a bit disappointed with the selections of live material on the 69 and 70 years. Putting the essential and amazing BBC material into another category, the 1970 set has one, yes one, live track that is not video. Hard to believe for what I think is an amazing year for them on stage. The 69 set has The Man and The Journey, which is great, but the lack of Ummagumma live outtakes is a drag. Was there really nothing else from 70 that was worthy of being included? No Santa Monica, Denmark, Germany? Yet, they think the quad mix of AHM is essential?

 

Audience. Pretty good considering the vintage though. Stuff this old, it's basically take it or leave it. Nobody cared much at the time.

 

I did hope that the Mothers tape would finally reach the wider public. It definitely is in somebody's hands.

 

The concert at Mothers contained an (instrumental?) improvisation (between Eugene and Interstellar Overdrive) and Let There Be More Light as an encore. Could be great bonus material, but who knows how well this was performed...^^

 

Well, the copyright protection will be running out soon. Maybe the owner of the tape will try to capitalize on it?

 

You duly noted the BBC as a caveat, but since the '70 session has a live audience, they probably figured that filled the slot. At least that includes fine period readings of Embryo & Green/Careful, and the '71 BBC session (also live audience) provides the expanded Fat Old Sun.

 

Sometimes I think, wouldn't it be great to have a soundboard recording of their 'Games For May' concert? Sadly it was never recorded, right?

 

If you listen carefully (pardon the pun), this early Beset at Southampton, and the one on BBC Night Ride, has a slightly different baseline than the one-note alternating octave of Careful. By summer, they'd dispensed with all pretense that it wasn't Careful and just played it straight up from then on.

Or perhaps that's exactly what you were saying with tic-toc style vs. bluesier intro? ; )

 

Of course. I wasn't trying to provoke you into telling us...although I'd love to know.

To the label, if you're watching this thread, release the damn surround mixes!! It's preposterous to release bootleg quality BBC recordings but not specially prepared surround mixes!!!

 

Well, this box set looks awesome, but no way I need that much material from that early period. I really wish that super limited release of the 1965 vinyl was going to be reissued.

 

Yes - That's what I meant. The bluesier intro also facilitates the segue out of Green Is The Colour. The Ummagumma version is played more like the straight D octave bass, but still taken pretty slow. The BBC '69 has the bluesier feel. Compare either to the '68 Murderotic version - much faster and played very 'straight' and un-syncopated. I seem to remember it changed key at one point too - is the Come In Number 51 version based around an E rather than D?

 

Did anyone notice the high resolution images of the box set at Pink Floyd - The Early Years 1965 - 1972 - Syd Barrett | The Official Website »
I think it looks amazing, I actually like the artwork on the various boxes, looks quite detailed. I suppose it resembles the early lightshow. It looks like it's great quality.

 

Amazing, but also a pretty LARGE package...

Make me wonder where I'm going to store this box and how the wife will respond

 

I personally love that version of "Interstellar Overdrive". I wonder why they didn't include it.

 

The artwork of the box set looks like (colored) stones underwater and stuff. I was hoping they would design the box set more similar like the 1965 double EP.
And I wish they could release the 5 vinyl singles in an individual box as well, something like The Who did with their early 45s (Brunswick and Reaction).
