Pink Floyd - Atom Heart Mother 1970

1970 Pink Floyd performance for San Francisco public TV Station KQED.

[@SamAndrew27]

The organ and drums on this are just LEGENDARY!!!

[@pclinn]

My father, Ray Linn (trumpet), did a gig with Pink Floyd around this date in San Francisco. Local 47 Musician's Union in Los Angeles recruited players to fly up to "Frisco" to rehearse one weekend and then play the following weekend in an orchestra.. When dad first came back he asked us, "Boys, have you ever heard of Pink Floyd?" My brothers and I exclaimed, YEAHHHH!". Dad, who hated rock and roll and thought it was "music to eat people by", said that PF were fine musicians and treated the orchestra respectfully. When the Orchestra members asked what were they supposed to wear at the gig, PF responded "wear whatever you like". Usually orchestras/symphonies wear black tie attire.

Atom Heart Mother live in '70 - '71ish was a masterpiece! It is acquired listening, if you're a simpleton......... You won't understand it! Lol, the change at 9:52 is an all timer!!!!!!

[@mkna8633]

l remember becoming addicted to Pink Floyd after listening to *Darkside* nearly enough everyday after school, whilst getting stoned with my new 'friends'. we would almost always get a fiver's weed and meet in Callum Lathams' Family's home in his bedroom and constantly listen to Breathe, On The Run, Time, ecetera.ecetera. So anyway l went out and bought *Atom Heart Mother* one fine day and l must say l loved it. Great songs, very ethereal. Almost all of it - as any proper Floydian will know - is instrumental. Alan's psychedelic breakfast is marvellous!

[@samdoherty2284]

12:44 Rick Wright, right here, inspired me to play keyboard (more specifically to take piano lessons, and also, to then play the ‘Wave Organ’ kind of Hammond-Organ-esque settings on my shitty 1999 Yamaha keyboard). But I don’t like Pink Floyd or much of 1970s music at all anymore, except some Herbie Hancock or Stevie Wonder

Rick est parti bien trop tôt ! Son apport à la musique de PF est considérable, mais sous-estimé. Il a notamment sauvé le groupe en lui donnant une nouvelle identité musicale après le départ de Syd. Et pour cela j'en veux à Rog de l'avoir évincé comme un malpropre en 1980. Grosse erreur psychologique de Rog qui commençait à avoir le melon...

[@mainstreetband622]

sydIRISH indeed

[@knelsein]

it is my opinion too my friend

[@moderoy]

Actually The Beatles were about a decade ahead of the Floyd.

[@danielpauldavis]

That's an intriguing opinion, considering that John Lennon went to "Let's All Make Love In London" to hear Pink Floyd, and that's where he first saw Yoko Ono's "art." Pink Floyd, the dominant rock band of the 1970's, was instrumental in ending the Beatles, the dominant rock band of the 1960's.

Great stripped-down version of this beautiful piece. The original was quite an accomplishment but they manage to flesh out the horn, string and choral sections nicely. Rick and Dave are particularly great.

[@rupertherbert594]

@@paddymulligan indeed, at that time they were in bad economic times, so they leave the burden to Ron Geesin and he add the magic of this album, and this helps a lot in solving the situation. Maybe the best album ever made in their gold era

[@charlesberg9220]

Pink Floyd, et spécialement David Gilmour, ont toujours été très critiques vis à vis de leur propre travail, se dévaluant souvent à tort (à notre avis). Par exemple David Gilmour dénigre son "Narrow Way" que beaucoup trouvent magnifique, et très novateur. Cette pièce est notamment la plus floydienne de l'album studio de Ummagumma, et elle contient en germe des choses qui seront développées par la suite, dans Echoes et dans The Dark Side notamment.

[@gioachinolorelli5138]

@Daniele: D'accordissimo sulla grandezza unica dei Pink, ma, in questo caso, la mancanza dell'orchestrazione di Ron Geesin, castra la suite. È insipida. Un'Idea sulla quale lavorare, e Geesin ha lavorato duro, con soluzioni armoniche al limite dell'immaginabile. Poi von l'inserimento del violoncello, su una progressione di accordi assolutamente nuova eai sentita prima, e quel coro che canta vocali. in modo dissonante, a volte al limite dell'ascoltabile, l'ha fatta diventare il capolavoro assoluto che è la versione in studio. Direi che per una volta, sarebbe stato corretto mettere "Ron Geesin and orchestra festival. Pink Floyd". Per il resto, Pink Floyd, non uno dei migliori gruppi di sempre. ma IL Gruppo.
