REISCH By 1971, Pink Floyd had set the controls for the heart of philosophy. That year, Adrian Maben made his extraordinary concert film, Pink Floyd at Pompeii . It begins with the desolate, lonely strains of “Echoes” as Maben’s camera—impossibly high above the ancient Roman amphitheatre at Pompeii—descends with almost imperceptible slowness into the circular theatre of stone. The band, its truckloads of equipment, and miles of 5 cables are set up in the middle of the enormous circle below. Pink Floyd had just begun writing and recording Dark Side of the Moon and had yet to be jolted by the international stardom that would propel them through the 1970s and culminate in their second monster album, The Wall , in 1979. That’s why the setting and venue could not be more perfect—or ironic. For this enormous stone amphitheatre is a circular wall, built up long ago brick by brick, isolating Roger Waters, Nick Mason, David Gilmour, and Rick Wright from the outside world. It was originally designed to hold a live audience, of course. But there is none in this film. Pink Floyd simply plays—to themselves, to each other, to a handful of sound technicians—with the seriousness and concentration for which they were becoming famous. There is no public performance, no on-stage banter, no corporate sponsorship, no advertising. Those who might have come expecting to see Pink Floyd “in the flesh,” to get drunk, stoned, or rowdy (or all three), might have felt that something was eluding them. But no audience was present, so the film shows no trace of the slowly growing discord between Roger Waters, in particular, and the rapidly growing audiences that Pink Floyd played to during the rest of the 1970s. By the end of the decade, things had turned around completely. The very first song of The Wall has the album’s protagonist, Pink, interrogating a stadium-sized crowd of inebriated teenagers: So ya thought ya might like to go to the show. To feel the warm thrill of confusion That space cadet glow. Tell me, is something eluding you, Sunshine? His anger culminated in 1977 during a show in Montreal, Waters recalls in interviews. Noisy, disruptive fans so annoyed him that he spit on them from the stage. He was appalled at his behavior, he admits, and began to think seriously about how and why large audiences had become so disconnected from the music they had paid to hear, and from the musicians they had come to see “in the flesh.” Soon, he was toying with the concept of a rock band separated from its audience by a huge brick wall. But even that idea did not assuage his sarcasm and bitterness. Early drafts of Waters’s screenplay for the film version (released in 1982) included military airplanes dive bombing the audience. 1 Here in the ruins of Pompeii, however, Waters and the band play without a hint of the frustration or bitterness that was to come. They are happy playing alone, behind their wall, without any suggestion that this is some psychotic confinement or retreat from a cruel, unbearable world. Those themes and messages had not yet become real and pressing for Waters. The event Maben’s cameras capture is noncommerical, artistic, and musical. And philosophical . Pink Floyd seems natural and comfortable in this setting not simply because they play so well or because the cameras glide around the band and the open-air amphitheatre so elegantly. It is because the themes and ideas they had just begun to explore musically on Meddle and Dark Side —such as time, death, madness, loss, and empathy—are among those that philosophers of ancient Greece and Italy began to scrutinize over two thousand years ago. Not far from the time and the place, that is, where the volcano Vesuvius erupted to strip away all but the stone buildings of this once bustling Italian village. Even the philosophical and cultural metaphor of Enlightenment that would soon help catapult the band to international stardom—the battle between the 6 light and clarity of understanding and the darkness of shadows, mystery, and madness—is unmistakeable as the band plays alternately in the bright afternoon sun and the murky darkness.

It might apply to the weight of your take on the blues, as with Fleetwood Mac or Led Zeppelin. It might mean the originality of Jethro Tull or King Crimson. It might equally apply to an individual- to Eric Clapton, for example, The Beatles are the saints of the 1960s, and George Harrison an especially "heavy person". This year, heavy people flock together. Clapton and Steve Winwood join up in Blind Faith. Steve Marriott and Pete Frampton meet in Humble Pie. Crosby, Stills and Nash admit a new member, Neil Young. Supergroups, or more informal supersessions, serve as musical summit meetings for those who are reluctant to have theirwork tied down by the now antiquated notion of the "group". Trouble of one kind or another this year awaits the leading examples of this classic formation. Our cover stars The Rolling Stones this year part company with founder member Brian Jones. The Beatles, too, are changing - how, John Lennon wonders, can the group hope to contain three contributing writers? The Beatles diversification has become problematic.

  • Þáttur 1.Odt
    Lucy Leave Good afternoon. My name is Björgvin Rúnar Leifsson and this is an episode about Pink Floyd. The origins of Pink Floyd can be traced back to bassist Clive Metcalfe and vocalist Keith Noble, who formed the band Sigma 6 at The London School of Polytechnics in the winter of 1962-63 and were joined by Roger Waters on guitar, Nick Mason on drums, Richard Wright on keyboards and vocalists Sheila Noble and Juliette Gale. They got Ken Chapman to join them as a songwriter and agent and he introduced them as The Architectural Abdabs later that winter. In his book, Inside Out, Nick Mason mentions that his first acquaintance with Roger Waters was when Waters asked to borrow his car as Mason had an Austin Seven model year 1930. Mason also says that the first time Waters and Richard Wright met was when Waters asked Wright for a cigarette, which Wright flatly denied. Mason, who is clearly a humorist, adds that this was a shining example of Wright's mythical generosity. The story actually says that Waters sat at the end of the table where Wright was working and reached for and opened a new package as he asked for the cigarette. Another example of Mason's humor is his favorite joke about the boy who tells his mother that he intends to become a drummer when he grows up and the mother promptly responds that he can not do both. Mason also says that PF arose from two groups of friends, who overlapped. On the one hand, there was a group of childhood friends from Cambridge, namely Waters, Roger (Syd) Barrett and David Gilmour and it may be added here that it was Gilmour, who taught Barrett to play the guitar.

One afternoon, as I tried to shut out the murmur of forty fellow architectural students so that I could concentrate on the technical drawing in front of me, Roger’s long, distinctive shadow fell across my drawing board. Although he had studiously ignored my existence up until that moment, Roger had finally recognised in me a kindred musical spirit trapped within a budding architect’s body. The star-crossed paths of Virgo and Aquarius had dictated our destiny, and were compelling Roger to seek a way to unite our minds in a great creative adventure. No, no, no. I’m trying to keep the invention to a minimum. The only reason Roger had bothered to approach me was that he wanted to borrow my car. The vehicle in question was a 1930 Austin Seven ‘Chummy’ which I’d picked up for twenty quid. Most other teenagers of the time would probably have chosen to buy something more practical like a Morris 1000 Traveller, but my father had instilled a love of early cars in me, and had sourced this particular car.

  • Barrett Vol 1.Pdf
    Introduction usician, psychedelic explorer, eccentric, cult icon – Roger “Syd” Barrett was many things to many people. Created in conjunction with the Barrett family and The Estate of Roger Barrett, who have provided unprece- dented access to family photographs, artworks, and mem- Mories, Barrett offers an intimate portrait of the Syd known only to his family and closest friends. Previously unseen photographs taken on seaside holidays and other family occasions show us a happy and loving young man, smiling energetically in images that map his early life, from childhood through his teenage years. Along with newly available photos from the album cover shoots for The Madcap Laughs and Barrett (taken by Storm Thorgerson and Mick Rock) they reveal the positive energy of a grinning Syd as he fools about in front of the camera. We are offered a rare glimpse of one who was immensely popular among friends and contemporaries. Also contained within these pages are recently unearthed images of Pink Floyd in which we see Syd practising handstands, making muscle-man poses, and having fun. The other members of Floyd lark about too – a fledgling young band enjoying itself with a sense of real camaraderie. The images transport one back in time to 166–67: the London Free School gigs, the launch of International Times at the Roundhouse, the UFO club, the band’s first European dates.
