Life Boat - Miranda Lee Richards

The weather today has definitely made me happy. 65 and sunny. LOVE IT.

The Fabric of Our Lives - Zooey Deschanel That or Change Is Hard - She & Him. Ironically, Zooey sings that too. I like her voice, but it sticks with you.

Terminal Frost - Pink Floyd

It was as embarrassing as the Scissor Sister's cover of Comfortably Numb was, IMO. Just tragic. That said, if Jimmy wanted to do it (and clearly did) then that's what he wanted to do. If you don't like it, don't listen to it. I've abided by that ever since it came out.

Lyin' Eyes - Eagles

My Sweet Lord - George Harrison

One, I'm not a dude. Two, it's arrogant to claim that certain artists are allowed to cover certain songs and other artists aren't. Pink Floyd is to me what Led Zeppelin is to most of you. Did I like the Scissor Sister's cover of Comfortably Numb? God no, it was horrible. Does that mean I think they shouldn't have been able to do it in the first place? No. They can embarrass themselves if they want, because I'm positive more people will choose to listen to the original. Who cares if Mary J. Blige covered these songs? I sure as hell don't. And neither should you. You don't own them, you don't get dictate who does what with their catalog.

No. Led Zeppelin is over. Listen to and enjoy the albums.

Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again - The Fortunes

I for sure thought it would, what with the wailing and the gnashing of teeth going on in this thread.

This is the kind of arrogance that all musical fan bases can do without.

More Today Than Yesterday - The Spiral Starecase

That's not really mesh. It looks more crocheted.

Brain Damage - Pink Floyd

I use Trader's Little Helper to convert .shn/.flac files to mp3 or wav if I have to. It's free, no malware/spyware/viruses and works great. I had it recommended to me from someone at a blog I frequent where I get my Floyd bootlegs.

I use the VLC media player. Works like a charm.

Tea For One is arguably, one of the greatest songs they ever did. It's a shame that as a band, they never did it live. On that note, here is another video for a song that never got a live treatment (or many) that should have: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVEttZQWOvE

See Emily Play - Pink Floyd

The November 1974 dates you listed are from their performance at the Wembley Pool that was broadcast on the BBC. The reason I didn't include it is because none of the boots that are available have the full concert, just the performance of DSOTM. I wanted to only include complete concerts, although the recording from the BBC that I've heard from that date is fantastic.

You should never have to buy a bootleg. Bootlegs should be free and available to anyone who wants them. There are a couple great blogs out there that specialize in boots, that have quite a few great Floyd ones. Now, if you want to know what boots you should look for, these are my top 10: 1. Animal Instincts (May 9th, 1977) 2. Boston Music Hall (March 14th, 1973) 3. Cruel But Fair (April 26th, 1975) 4. Wallpower (February 28th, 1980) The last show they ever played in the US as a foursome. 5. Run Like Fuck (February 13th, 1980) 6. Keep Talking Foxboro (May 19th, 1994) 7. Interstellar Fillmore (April 29th, 1970) 8. New Mown Grass (October 17th, 1971) 9. Melbourne Soundboard (February 19th, 1988) 10. The Last Bell (October 29th, 1994) The last full concert Pink Floyd has done to date.

Oooh, Levee is winning.

There's no reason to be sad. It's just a game.
