Yesterday I was listening to Pink Floyd in Poitiers 1972.
Like during the whole 72 tour, they played DSOTM, so before it was recorded in studio, and of course before it became famous
One funny thing is that you can hear distinctly 2 guys talking in the audience, very near to the recorder, and just after Money, one of them is saying (in french, that's why I understood it well) :
"well they didn't play famous songs until now......." and he seems disapointed... :smack
of course at the end, when they start palying One of these days, and Echoes, the guys recognized the songs, these wer THE hits at the time
well, you may find that I am telling some La Palice facts, bu I find surrealistic to hear someone saying that, just after Money, THE Floyd hit..... :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol
I think we have a biased point of view about music, when heraing it many decades after
Imagine if Mark would have played Money for Nothing during the LOG tour. everyone would have thought "hey why does he play unfamous song ? we want the hits !"
I would love to read some thoughts by people who lived this kind of experience (twm, superval,...) with legends artist playing legendary tunes, but before they became famous.
Did you have the feeling thta they were normal "songs" ?
I don't manage to imagine hearing the whole DSOTM as a "normal" set of songs....it's such a masterpiece of music...
well, all is relative I guess....
it reminds me of Allen's film "midnight in Paris"

JF, I had at least one similar feeling from Radiohead, when they played in Athens, about the time of Kid A release, but certainly before it hit the stores. They played at least 2-3 songs that I couldn't recognize, from Kid A, amongst them the National Anthem, which is one of my favorite songs by the group, while Kid A has become one of my favorite albums. And the trip-hop version of the national anthem was moving, but the other two songs sounded like put offs back then.
The same with Tindersticks.
Pottel, I am greatly interested in PF material, and I would love to have them, but no time to listen nowadays. I hope the invitation stands for me too, and is extended in the future! :D
