Jeff you miss the point. They are on a whole different level than other groups just by their videos alone. The artistic style of their music is another topic as well. You don't always relate to everything they sing about, but it has a time and a place. Jethro Tull is by far the music of choice by myself and others. But we all have our Dark Side. Just like Black Sabbath, there are spooky groups all around us. I am sure the Thrift store will appreciate your donation.  Ouch Jeff. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

Jim, I'm not trying to be provocative or disrespectful of others in their musical tastes, it's just that for me personally, I cannot connect with Pink Floyd's music. I find it very depressing. I don't want to be depressed.
Listening to Walk Into Light right afterward was such a breath of fresh air!

Oddly I think you both hit the point about Floyd.
People I know either love them or hate them for the same reason, and that is the dark nature of their music, much of which is/was very personal to Waters.
Many of the songs can be depressing lyrically or dark musically but I think are pretty expertly presented from the perspective of that dark side of human nature. I need to dip into that dark side ocassionally and Floyd offer a pretty good route to explore that side of the human condiiton. However, I much prefer my journeys with Tull.
The artisitic side of Floyd has always been required to give some dynamic to a stage show and a band which hasn't got the focus provided by someone like Ian......it would be a pretty dull show without the theatrics.

Jeff Don't worry Jeff, I was just being silly. ;D ;D ;D That image I used came from the album and seemed perfect for the moment. That is the key to Floyd. The imagery they use is something special. You need to expand your imagination every now and then, which is what they do for me.  |

Jeff, you sound like many people i know. I had a friend in THE 80'S who was a Floyd freak! He would play the Wall and the Final Cut over, and over. I would dread seeing him because I knew he was going to throw on the Final Cut! It was just the worst most dreadful crap I could endure! Like torture! This went on for a year or 2. As I mentioned before, I then had a lucid dream with Comfortably Numb as the soundtrack. I wasn't on any drugs. I woke up and went out and bought The Wall, I was obsessed with Pink Floyd since. I soon after would listen to the final cut as I shoveled driveways all winter long. It became one of my favorite depressing winter albums and I still love it today. I can certainly understand those who hate it, my father was one of them who left during the dark side of the moon show and I don't listen to them much at all anymore as I played with a band that did most every Pink Floyd album for nearly 10 years. We still do it about once or twice a year. In fact we just performed a the first few songs from the Final Cut. Maybe it just takes a certain experience to get it..(usually involving a substance) Or a certain person. I don't think it's a question of being juvenile though. Personally without David Gilmour I probably would hate them also. I love Waters as long as Gilmour's around. Most musicians will tell you they broke much ground as far as the uses of sounds, record production, and concert visuals. You simply can't overlook the importance of Floyd when it comes down to these things. Gilmour's guitar tone is one of the most sought after tones ever and it comes right from his fingertips. A True expressionist or our time. This might sound odd, but I recognize the greatness of Pink Floyd, in terms of their professionalism, concert atmosphere, sound effects, Gilmour's guitar, etc., all of the things you, Jim and Pat mention, it's just that their music does not appeal to me, and I have no emotional connection whatsoever with the lyrics. And the lack of humor and variety, it's a lot of the same themes over and over again, and unrelenting bleakness. It's the same for me with many top bands, The Who, The Doors, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Yes (although I used to love Yes), etc. I recognize they are all very special bands, yet most of their music and lyrics do nothing for me. There are some exceptions with each, but for the most part there is just no bond. The closest I have come to feeling anything that even approaches the way I feel about Tull music, and especially Ian's lyrics, are The Beatles, Genesis (up to and including Duke), Midnight Oil (from Diesel and Dust onward), Richard Thompson and Grant Lee Phillips. The first few Elvis Costello albums, too. And that's really about it. That's not to say that I don't like any other bands, but there are only a handful whose music and words I really connect with on an emotional level. Jeff |

For all the guys who have wives that drive them crazy.   For millions of years mankind lived just like the animals
Then something happenend which unleashed the power of our imagination
We learned to talk
There's a silence surrounding me
I can't seem to think straight
I'll sit in the corner
No one can bother me
I think I should speak now ___________ Why won't you talk to me
I can't seem to speak now ____________ You never talk to me
My words won't come out right ________ What are you thinking
I feel like I'm drowning _____________ What are you feeling
I'm feeling weak now _________________ Why won't you talk to me
But I can't show my weakness _________ You never talk to me
I sometimes wonder ___________________ What are you thinking
Where do we go from here _____________ What are you feeling
It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking
Why won't you talk to me _____________ I feel like I'm drowning
You never talk to me _________________ You know I can't breathe now
What are you thinking ________________ We're going nowhere
What are you feeling _________________ We're going nowhere
Why won't you talk to me
You never talk to me
What are you thinking
Where do we go from here
It doesn't have to be like this
All we need to do is make sure we keep talking.

 I just want to sign that I haven't edited this pic, It was recently posted on my facebook and wished to share it here, that's all. I think Tull and Floyd are unequalled bands at their own styles. I forevermore feel much more identified with Tull though I also worship Floyd. There are quite a lot time and music to have fun with both bands vaults. Amen!! |

Great video and performance! Thanks Jioffe. I love the glass of milk too. Moooooooooooooo. ;D Last night I saw a Led Zeppelin documentary and they were playing, I think it was 1968, ''Run Like Hell', a Pink Floyd song that was on The Wall. How can this be? Was I dreaming or not?  How come you know better than me. |

 These statues, celebrating the anniversary of Division Bell album, are being displayed on the roof of the Emi offices, in London. Great architectural design to visit one of these days, a reason to flight to London and attend a TAAB2 show, if it happens at the same time.  Salut |

Just like other pieces that Storm Thorgerson creates for Pink Floyd videos and album art. The 2 masks (Comedy/Tragedy) used by Tull during APP Tour in '73, were either sold or hidden somewhere. Does anyone have a theory? |

Jim
Glad the surgery went well, having had lens replacement surgery last month I have to say the results are pretty damned good aren't they?
The surgeon who did mine is a hero in my book, he totally saved my eyesight, being blind in one eye already meant it was a bit make or break for me, but I'm incredibly pleased and relieved with the result, I hope you notice the difference for a long, long time to come.
Now, if I could only watch that video without it being blocked by EMI.

let Pat watch Pink Floyd on YOU TUBE! |

The look on the cow's face is priceless. I love that Floyd album. Fat Old Sun, If...great stuff. I have a VHS of the Atom Heart Mother video, plus other stuff from that session. They do stuff like Cymbaline and Grantchester Meadows, it's excellent. |

London, 1966, Pink Floyd with Syd Barret at the Marquee. I've read this can possibly be first psychedelic performances in UK. Definitely awesome.

Gilmour, Waters, Wright, Mason 10:43 Better still is Objects of Fantasy: The Music of Pink Floyd, with Tull's very own David (Dee) Palmer arranging and conducting the Royal Philharmonic. More lively and creative renditions than "Us and Them" (I own them both), particularly the fantastic inclusion of "When the Tigers Broke Free" (the long lost song missing from The Wall album). Also some great guitar from Genesis' Steve Hackett and Clare Torry singing "Great Gig in the Sky".  |

Floyd at his maximum rave-up  Kralingen(Holland) pop Festival was named the European Woodstock. It took place in a rainy summer weekend of 1970. Bands that played on were amongst them, Pink Floyd, Caravan, Yes, Canned Heat, Jefferson Airplane, Santana and much more. It was an absolute hippy feast. Check the TV documentary out ;D . No Tull taking part |
