WOOOW - is that terrible!!!
And ultra-boring!

And what is the "dark side of the moon" anyway?
That side where Americans pretended to have landed on the moon, maybe?
That story was as bad as the music you are listening too right now,
some of you with tears in your eyes, I assume!
Laughable!

Most guitar themes are playable enough (after enough practice). Thinking them up is the hard part... Didn't do that yet, did you?
Sorry, just amazed by this...

Get to it, man, these guys are rich!

275.000 guitarists - alone in Germany - can play the very theme,
and better!
I know - I am one of them!

PS
Not that I would dare to touch Pink Floyd!
Am I boring?

I had to come in to work today. Listening to RP always makes it easier. Listening to Pink Floyd on RP makes it enjoyable.
Thanks so much.
I wonder what people think of the "Immersion" box set — I've not looked at comments, so I'll go do that now.

I've rated this a 9. What a tasty treat to hear this live version. Thnak you !

LOVE IT!!!

I hear a music track for an alternative heaven in there. This is one of the minority of well-known cuts that sound better live than studio — in part because the studio cut has been played about 7 billion times on brain deadening air radio. Amazing visionary music.

This is pretty much one of the finest bands playing their finest track ever. I have heard it performed live, but I love the fidelity. Awesome. Thanks, RP. 

That was fantastic....  !!   

Live Floyd is a rare treat for me.  Was just out of HS when Darkside was released and still have that disc on vinyl (likely 2nd or third  replacement! ) and have seen them live only once, which was great.  Almost 40 years later now..and I don't much care for alot  I listened to back then... but always a joy to hear PF, and especially great to hear something I'd not heard before !!!     

If not for RadioParadise I'd never know of some of the rare gems like what you just played.    Made my morning !!  Thank you     (-:

Touching the Total Lunar Eclipse from far, with the music... Thank you for the sharing Radioparadise - Waiting for the first photos to show up (with Pink Floyd, Ray, Elephant...)

Playing the whole album- what a great format!  Reminds me of FM radio in Austin in the 70's.  Makes me want to turn up the volume and turn out the lights.

Typing slower helps - I often get pretty sloppy when typing too fast as well.   I haven't any ignorance of Pink Floyd or most music genres, at all, I'm just tired of a lot of their stuff (perhaps from overexposure to bad radio stations or 8-track players), and I was quite alive in 1974 - far from a twinkle - and I had listened to Pink Floyd throughout middle and high school - in the 1970's.  We can all change the station when a tune we don't care to hear comes on, and honestly, I won't be going to a C&W or rap venue very often.   It's likely that you and I probably listen to a lot of the same artists anyhow, and I re-live the 70's myself sometimes.  Anyhow, rock on!  Sorry if the prior posts seemed a little heavy-handed.

.......no authority, just stating the obv...you are free to go somewhere else if you don't like the selection. I guessed at your taste in music bec. you called this "seventies" music. You only further reaffirmed my suspicion by comparing this cut to my 'misspelled' description of rap!!  

BTW, wasn't it YOU who told me to "go home to listen to the CD" in your original post?...who gave YOU the authority?

Bottom line, regardless of how often Us and Them/Eclipse is heard from the studio version, this is much different!! It's an opp to hear a live cut from a '74 show just after, what was soon to be one of the best LP's of all time, was released. A rare treat for many of us!!! I wasn't there for it, and I'll guess from your ignorance, you weren't a twinkle in your parents eye at the time....

...however, I will work on my spelling; I think typing slower will help!!

Those are the only alternatives, huh?  You must dwell in a pretty narrow musical universe if you believe those are the only other choices.  I beg of you to stop believing yourself superior to anyone who does not agree with your tastes in music.  I have always listened to an extremely wide variety of music - not that I have to justify it to you - the fact that am tired of this "classic rock" dirge does not mean that C&W or rap are the only other choices.  You immediately tag me as someone who enjoys "hearing poor poetry spoken against some incessant repeitive (sic) beat".  For one thing, your misspelled description could describe this song pretty well.  If you want to give credence to THE MAJORITY (aka mob rule), that's your choice; I am not knocking it.  I know that many people love this song - that's great; I am personally tired of hearing it every day.  I am merely stating my opinion - which is my right.  What makes you think I am doing anything to prevent you, or the rest of your so-called "MAJORITY",  from enjoying this song, and what makes you believe you have any sort of authority to tell me to go away?!

Then I beg of you, turn to your local C&W hee haw station, or maybe you're into 'rap', bec you enjoy hearing poor poetry spoken against some incessant repeitive beat.....

either way, GO AWAY, and let the MAJORITY of us enjoy.....'cause there really ARE some things that are timeless and this is one of 'em!

you can change the station at home if you want to listen to anything else. Sorry, this is still amazing.

You can play this CD over and over again at home if you want to re-live the 1970's.  Sorry, this does nothing but annoy me anymore.

YES AGAIN, and AGAIN..(with any luck)

So good...think it'll sell??

Nice sounds on a cold, wet night in the wilds of north-central Florida...

The sax is exquisite on this version (it is a sax, right?)

I can listen to this...

Not even 7 am, and the stereo is blasting. Only Pink Floyd does that to me. Thanks RP.

When I come home, annoyed and tired...
IT'S GOOD TO JAM SOME PINK FLOYD BY THE FIRE!
This made my night...lessons done, hit the gym for a workout, then dodged the traffic home, dinner on my mind — then THIS came on!   Thanks, RP!

Very nice.

Wow. I am loving all this live PF. Is this how it goes on in the wee hours on RP? I need to tune in more often!

Thanks, Bill... you are amazing!!!
