There's also a live version of Atom Heart Mother with the orchestra and one of the best versions of Embryo

i've got a DSOTM live BBC '74 (full album in concert) + Echoes BBC '74 as well, killer version with some sax. The whole is a must have.

...

The number of boots dropped considerably as soon as Dark Side made it ... and I think that the material for "La Vallee" was not released sooner because the film got delayed or there were issues with the film and what not. I think there were also issues with the Tribe ... and I understant that some material was shot without permission originally. The film also got crossed up in the cross language thing between French and English, and the film never made up "it's mind" ... which is ok for the story of the film, as you don't need it, but it makes the film muddier and tougher to follow and get a hold on.

As far as I can remember, I don't think I have ever heard, or found a single song or two even listed in any bootleg, even at the time, which I would have jumped at immediately on. The majority of the Dark Side of the Moon boots are all PRE the released version and featured a very different "greatest gig in the sky" with Syd Barrett doing his version of a priest doing sermons ... I never found any boots of the WYWH, and only one set of boots from the Animals tour (Anaheim Stadium Series) and then 2 different sets from The Wall ...

Been a long time ... a long time!

In those days, the boots were worth it, because PF was much better in concert than they were on the albums ... end of conversation! ... but when they got motorized and mechanical and all that, they may have sold more (how industrialist of them, hey?) ... but the ability and freedom to free lance died ... and there was none in the after the DSOTM era, when they dumped the original material that ended up in Animals.

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

From the list, Fearless, one of the reasons why David Gilmour is the voice of Pink Floyd. BTW if someone know any bootleg with a live version I'd be interested in the info.

Here's a list of my favs (from today) from the glorious formative years and pre-dsotm years:

TPATGOD: Chapter 24 (or Scarecrow or Flaming)
ASOS: See Saw (the title track is not obscure neither STCTTHOTS)
MORE: well, almost the whole piece. But I love The Main Theme (and the live versions of Cymbaline and Green is the colour just kick the asses of the studio versions; they seemed a little quick recorded, being fully developed on the road. But both, speacilly Cymbaline, aren't obscure as they are staples of their live act from their conception till the DSOTM pre-tour (1972).
ZP: love the Country Theme (the Violent Sequence isn't obscure even if it was rarely played alive before DSOTM)
UMMAGUMMA: The Narrow Way pts II & III (love the riff of the first and the second is wonderful).
AHM: It must be Alan's psychedelic breakfast, specially the Morning Glory section (but could Summer 68 too)
MEDDLE: Fearless apart it must be A Pillow of winds.
OBC: Hard to choose. I love the whole album, Today would be Burning Bridges and the lovely Gilmour/Wrights duet (God, I love these guys!).

Bach, Ma, Bros, Déia, Dante.

Set the controls for the sun. its amazing on ummagumma

I love Fat Old Sun. Especially the live version from Remember That Night DVD. The guitar solo in the end is awesome.

the same as you

^ Indeed, that version of Fat Old Sun is stunning. However, I still wish there was an official good sounding live recording of that song on the pre-Dark Side years. I've heard some live bootlegs and it sounds really cool (sort of a similar way to songs on Ummagumma live or Pompeii). Indeed there should be a live release of this years, most of their songs were much better and much more interesting live than in studio... you could almost say that the complete versions of their songs were the live ones.

Not that obscure, and definitly not an unknown track: the pre-DSOTM version of On the Run. Plenty of great live recordings of that one.
