It’s perhaps the most famous Pink Floyd concert. I’ve featured it way back in 2006 but since then, recorder 2 was painstakingly remastered by a guy called ‘Hippopotamus’ in 2013. Just recently, the same, was speed corrected our friend by MOB in 2021. The result is A-MAZE-ING!  Hope you like it and be sure to play it loud!  Here’s the playlist. Enjoy!

When Roger announced via Facebook on May 21, 2015 that he would be participating in the 2015 Newport Folk Festival and promised “an intimate appearance specifically crafted set for Newport Folk,” the ambiguity of his declaration had Floyd-heads reeling at the possibilities. Here is a great sounding FoH mix of Roger Waters live at the Newport Folk Festival on July 24th 2015. Here’s the playlist! Doctored for super-sound. Enjoy! This podcast is dedicated in memory of “Bluenose Matt” Amore.

I love a good upgrade to well known audience recordings! Who doesn’t? They rarely come around, but when they do, rest assured it will be here, and here it is. From City Hall, Sheffield, England, 22. December, 1970. It features a rare performance of Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast! The sound is amazing to begin with but it’s still doctored up, detailed, if you will. Hope you like and if you do, please help support the podcast! Thank you! Here’s the playlist.

For this podcast, it’s “Live At Leeds” University’s Refectory Hall, 28th February 1970. Just two weeks after The Who’s famous concert recording there. I’ve been meaning to feature this for a while. The sound quality is excellent so  I didn’t need to do much to it but I did boost the level in some places and tweaked it just a little more, added some sweetness. here’s the playlist. Enjoy it loud and let me know what you think!

Here it is, the first podcast of 2021. Nothing over the top and crazy about this one. It’s just a mix I put together off the cuff. It was my mood at the time but a loosely knit theme did start to form out of it. Hope you like the selections. Here’s the Playlist!

I spent most of all my Christmas Eve (fifteen hours, start to end) wrapping this one up for you. This podcast includes as much alternate versions of songs as I could squeeze in an almost a 2.5 hour podcast! It’s a fun listen! Check out the playlist after, so you don’t spoil the ride. Enjoy and thank you!

Sometimes better versions of concert recordings or more complete versions pop up over time. This podcast is an upgrade to a recording I featured 13 years ago. A much better version recently surfaced so I figured why not pay a revisit. It’s slightly doctored for supersound but credit goes to Buffalofloyd of Yeeshkul for fixing this up. It’s an epic gig from Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA. 29, April. 1970.  Here’s the playlist!

I hope this finds you well. Here’s the latest podcast, finally. This is taken from a RoIO called California Stockyard, recorded on 7th of May 1977, at Anaheim Stadium in Anaheim, California.  A ton of doctoring when into this. Heres the playlist. Dig it!

For this installment, we go back to 5th of December 1972, Brussels Belgium. The recording was produced by a taper named “OPUS 5”, it is a very good to borderline excellent stereo recording but it needed some help. I explain more in the podcast but its all doctored up for supersound! We also close the podcast with a new track by Jon Carin!  Here’s the playlist!  Please consider a small donation?  Thank you for your support!

I figured it’s time for a good old fashioned Pink Floyd concert from the spring of 1970. How about something from the west coast, like Santa Monica, California at the The Civic Auditorium. Its a fantastic gig! A lot of careful work went into this recording which I can appreciate. I explain more in the podcast. I’m surprised this has flown under my radar for so long as it has but here it is and here’s the playlist!  Enjoy!

All done!  From my audio laboratory deep down in a bunker away from COVID19, riots, and what seems like the end of the world, here is the latest edition of Brain Damage!  For this we check out what Roger, Guy Pratt and David and his Von Trapped family have been doing to keep busy.  Here’s the playlist. Enjoy!

For this edition we go to The Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam.  Roger Waters filmed his concerts there over a period of four days and released the film in cinemas across the globe for two nights only this past October.  The film was released in digital format only back in March, but was quickly taken down within 24 hours (or something like that) for whatever reason. It was just announced its being released again next month but with the previously missing tracks “Smell The Roses” and “Comfortably...

Its just another average Pink Floyd gig from The North American Division Bell Tour from Houston, Texas’ Rice University Stadium, 5th April 1994. All is well until halfway through the second set, torrential rain wreaked havoc on the bands entire stage, sound and lighting system.  Eventually the plug was pulled with about 10 to 15 minutes left in the show.  Houston, we have a problem!  Here’s the playlist!  Enjoy!

Hope you’ve been enjoying the last podcast.  By now you probably feel like someone’s watching you.  This was more of the difficult themed podcasts I’ve worked on.  Feast your eyes on this, part two of The Eyes Have it!  Here’s the playlist. Have fun with it!

Jeepers creepers! Where did the time go?  So sorry for the lateness on this one and on a leap year no less!  This podcast was going to be a very long one originally but it was too much so I ended up breaking it up into two parts.  Part 2 will be posted in two weeks. For  this, its all about the eyes. You see them pop up many times in Floyd’s lyrics.  I hope you enjoy this one of two.  Here’s the playlist!  I decided to have some fun with it.  See if you can figure out whats what.

You recall the podcast from November, well it’s now David Gilmour’s turn at the Air Canada Centre!  Our friend Terry, who recorded Roger’s gig there also captured David’s first visit to Toronto in 10 years.  This time Terry (and his friend) provided me their master, high res audio so I could do my magic.  For this podcast, its a matrix recording from David’s first night in “Hollywood North.”  Hope you enjoy!  Here’s the playlist.  Image thanks to Ken Murphy.

By now, hopefully you got The Later Years boxset!  It’s fantastic but since the announcement of its release, it was clear there were some glaring omissions. For this edition of Brain Damage I give you, what I think, should’ve been included. This podcast will make a nice companion.  Here’s the playlist ADDENDUM: Or correction, The material for “Colours of Infinity” was all performed by Jon Carin with David supplying guitar.

For this podcast, as the title would suggest, we go to Toronto’s Air Canada Centre for an excellent recording from Roger’s “Us + Them Tour” 2nd October 2017.  This particular recording, thanks to Terry, is previously un-circulated (I believe) and doctored up for super sound! Starting the podcast off is the 2019 remix of One Slip.  The pod caps with the remastered version of Run Like Hell from “Delicate Sound of Thunder”, also featured in the upcoming ”Later Years Box Set”, now due for...

If you’re as excited as I am about the new Pink Floyd box set than this podcast should hold you over until it drops on the 29th of November.  This podcast features a sample of that’s to come.

This edition of Brain Damage features Roger’s second to last gig with Pink Floyd before he left the band and it’s the first time I’ve featured a Wall concert from 1981, 16th of June to be exact.  Not sure what took me so long but this recording is excellent and perhaps the best from Earl’s Court.  Its all been doctored up to sound the best it can.  If you already have this recording, feel free to compare.  I think you’ll be pleased.  Hope you enjoy and if you do, please consider a small...

For this edition of Brain Damage, its Floyd live at The Sporto, 28 June, 1973.  This recording has been around for a while but this time it gets the doctored treatment… a little.  There’s a few flaws within the recording that even I can’t fix but not all is lost. I explain in the podcast.  Pink Floyd put on a gripping show and the recording is very good,  So here it is, flaws ‘n all!  Before however, I figure a nice 25 minute version of Shine On You Crazy Diamond would be fitting since The...

The idea for this edition of Brain Damage was inspired by David Gilmour’s decision to donate 21+ million dollars raised from selling his guitar collection to ClientEarth.  So I figure an Earth themed podcast would be cool.  Most of the tracks featured have something to do with Mother Earth or the environment.  Hope you enjoy.  Here’s the playlist!

I got myself a copy of “The David Gilmour Guitar Collection” catalogue/catalog (take your pick) and while/whilst (circle one) flipping through, the idea hit me.  A companion podcast! If you have a copy, you’ll enjoy listening as you read about the guitar your listening to. If you don’t have it, it’s still a great listen. Here’s the playlist!  Enjoy!

Nick Mason’s Saucerful of Secrets live at the Corn Exchange in Cambridge, UK a couple of weeks ago, 1st, May 2019.  It was a great concert in Pink Floyd’s home town and Nick’s first time playing in Cambridge since 1969! This was captured near the front, dead center with special thanks to Disputandum Productions who recorded it.  I was next to the mixing desk and its where I took the photo (above).  Where you there?  Here’s the playlist Enjoy
