  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 พ.ย. 2017
  • April 30 1970 , Pink Floyd played an hour-long set in an empty Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, filmed for broadcast by small local television station called KQED.
    “At that point, they were really anxious to have whatever publicity they could,” remembers the program’s co-producer at KQED, Jim Farber. “We did not have much of a budget. Pink Floyd did the performance and offered the rights for a certain number of airings for practically nothing. My memory is we paid them $200.”

Also a Hammond L-122 which IIRC PF owned as part of their US backline inventory at the time...his UK/Europe Hammond at this point in time was an M-102, a slightly nicer spinet and a very popular unit in the UK as well as here. He'd later upgrade to a C-3 console (used Abbey Road's house RT-3 on DSOTM), and also later had a cutdown B-3, a Keyboard Products/Bill Beer chop I believe.

      I'm happy with your comment arklat. I thought PULSE was their finest show and to have Roger with his then new and sensational contribution was the crowning glory for me. But everyone was on their game - wonderful. I play it almost daily at the moment. But I also enjoy exploring back to their very early years when the music was, I will say, less melodic and far more exotic (but interesting) for me as a contrast to the amazing Dark Side of the Moon and later. I just thought Pulse was the culmination of their performances and after that there was some but not a lot more that I could put up there at the same height. They weren't a complete group any more and that's a great loss to the fans. I know there were more performances but I revel in the PULSE music, timing, construction and end result. But we luckily have remastered and even quadrophonic re-issues to enjoy.

    Saw them in Gothenburg, Sweden, in 1970. They had an image being the most techno-heavy band in the world. Compared to what most bands bring on stage today it was nothing. But they played very very good.
    In the end Gilmour sat on a persian carpet with his Strat and with a binson echo he made roaring space sounds on full volume, it went on and on, people who had smoked too much passed out in the dark.

    This video was a Thursday show at the Fillmore. They also played Wednesday. There was a small crowd which included my girlfriend and me. It was an impromptu performance, not advertised, so there were only a couple hundred people. I don't remember how I heard about it. I just remember rounding her up along with the blanket we always took because sitting on the floor was uncomfortable and, frankly, it was filthy. We usually kept it folded to sit on but this time we had so much room we spread it full out in the center of the hall, laying back and snuggling. It was like a private show. I still get a kick thinking about it.

    One of a kind music by an "insane genius"! Barret's best song in my opinion. Waters did a great job of making sure Syd wasn't forgotten. No one who suffers from mental illness should be cast aside or forgotten. Syd reminds us that those who suffer from mental illness are often very likable, intelligent and gifted people. That is why his former band mates cried after seeing what had become of him when he showed up unannounced in the studio in 1975. They were more than likely viewing this performance as a tribute to him. Great performance by Nick and Rick too!

      I think about this too. I think was more of how life happened to them when syd lost his mind. After Dave completely took the role, alot of hard feelings came about because they pretty much lost their friend, and most of the post syd/calmer pink floyd was written about syd, so Naturally it gave them a more calm psychedelic rock feel. I'm sure they would've stuck more too their roots if what happened to syd never happened and Dave never joined as syd kinda had some punk roots.

    There are great bands who succeed at their prime energy and spontaneous creative self in the studio recordings; but when it comes also to Live Performances, there are very few of the greatest bands that deliver the acustical and visual performances as perfectly as Pink Floyd.
    Pink Floyd summons to the very feel of the stage, powers from the deepest realms of the human psyche and soul, and the mysterious forces of creation, and life and death, heaven and hell, and God and the devil.
    The Pink Floyd concert "Live at Pompeii," produced by Universal Studios, should be awarded The Pulitzer Prize or other award of exceptional merit.
    The most creatively, spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually moving band that I have ever seen in my life.
    They have achieved a spiritual and psychic dimension. Pink Floyd has summoned supernatural powers which shape each unique song and performance in total and complete abandon and surrender by virtue of 'manifest expression' of the timeless experience.
    In other words, the music, each album, is a masterpiece, and their live performances are a rare vision into the dark and the light of Eternity.

    I can hear Roger saying to himself - 'check out this Gilmour cat I found'. The collective genius that is The Pink Floyd, pioneered by Syd, ushered in by timing, experimentation, advent of a culture of musicianship, the stars aligned and they knew they were onto something big. As fans we can't say we walked in their shoes, clearly they worked tirelessly and strategically, advantageously sprung up from fertile ground and fertile imagination with great talent. the value of the whole always greater than the sum of its parts. One of the greatest case studies in artistry & business & culture.

So this is a real treat. Over the years I've collected 60 versions of AD by the band (or by Dave solo). This is typical of their performances of the song in 1970, not the best and not the worst. Very satisfactory, however, and fun to see as well as hear them.

    As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to better appreciate the genius of this pre-AOR radio, pre-“classic rock,” unhinged weirdo psychedelic Pink Floyd material. Don’t get me wrong, I like _Dark Side of the Moon_ through _The Wall_ just fine. And I LOVE that Roger Waters is still out there, inventing tour concepts and challenging people and getting involved in politics and speaking truth to power. But Pink Floyd’s post-1972 concept album/progressive rock period, engaging as it is, can get so overburdened with gimmicks that it really overwhelms the music, while their earlier kids-with-instruments-and-mics-unchained-in-a-studio Syd Barrett-influenced period is so reckless and always teetering on the edge of disaster, it’s great fun to sink into. 🙂 Thanks for uploading this! ❤️

    Fortunately, that night we could (kind of) receive the signal, so I got to watch a pretty snowy image on my parents' spare 12-inch B&W portable TV.

They played at Mind-Bending sound levels the Sound Effects and everything!! They were, of course, the First ACID ROCK Band who performed pure Psychedelic Rock {and only Psychedelic Rock}, pre-"The Wall"! David was the Focus of them, Live!!
