Same But Different

It would later become known as P.U.L.S.E. but before all that it was first aired here in the States as a Pay Per View event and later broadcast in the UK, on 15th of November 1994 on BBC1 and Radio One FM.  Lucky for us someone that night recorded it from their FM stereo receiver.

A big difference here is there’s no James Guthrie post production, so the sound isn’t as processed as the official video release of P.U.L.S.E. This has more of a raw, “feed from the desk” sound with the warmth of an FM broadcast.  So… Same but different.

Live and uncut from Earls Court, 20 October 1994.  Here’s the playlist.

Exposed In The Light


dsotm2011This is not a new podcast but its a podcast I’ve had hidden since 2011 just for fun.  On occasion I would post it to Floydpodcast’s Facebook Fan Page and that was probably only two or three times over the years.  So if you have it already, cool and if not…here you go!   I decided it was time to include this on the website for easy access and for all to see.

This is not one of those unauthorized, crappy bootlegs. This is not BBC’s recording either! This is an OFFICIAL, front of house SOUNDBOARD recording of the entire concert taken from the DSoTM & WYWH Immersion sets. Echoes, however is from the BBC because at the time I compiled this in 2011, the Early Years box set hadn’t been released yet.

Recorded at Wembley Arena, in London, between the 15th and 17th of November 1974. First however, we start off with a special Pink Floyd cover by Captain Kirk. Here’s the playlist

Celestial Instruments

Show #97 – Release date: 26. October, 2007

This podcast features an excellent recording taken from the soundboard on the 9th August, 1969 at The Paradiso in Amsterdam.  The gig was recorded by Dutch radio station Hilversum 3 for a future broadcast unfortunately a microphone failure on the bands vocals forced them to perform an instrumental set.  As a result the gig never aired.  The recording surfaced recently with a short set of four numbers with absolutely no vocals, but the sound quality is amazing.

Knebworth 1990

Show #94 – Release date: 14. September, 2007

Pink Floyd headlined the Knebworth Festival by offering their services in aid of the Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy Centre as well as the BRIT school of performing arts and technology who provide music therapy for handicapped children.

120,000 fans gathered for this historic event featuring a combination of legendary British rock artists.  Floyd’s long awaited set featured special guests Clair Torry and Candy Dalfer and Rain… but first, a treat from David Gilmour’s recent cinematic DVD premier and Q&A session last week.

BBC Early Sessions

Show #77 Release date: 2. February, 2007

I still love the BBC.  We continue along the same path as the last podcast but further back in time to the early days of Pink Floyd and their heavy, almost regular appearances for BBC’s Top Gear and Night Ride.  The podcast starts off with a “violence” request from Martin.

BBC Sessions

Show #76 Release date: 19. January, 2007

I love the BBC.  For this podcast we go back to London 1970 and 1971

The first half of this podcast consists of a master live recording session done for BBC Radio One later broadcast on John Peel’s Sunday Concert three days later.  Here’s the playlist
