I'm a massive floyd hater, but this is brilliant | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 3:32am
Bill Mac:
Glad you like it John.... do you hate all Floyd? They never grabbed me too much but I do find that their early stuff is more compelling a listen... I'm just not interested in anything from "Dark Side" forward | |
|

Feels like a student sneaking into class late | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 3:41am
john (FMG) London:
you're right about the early stuff, whenever I hear early random Floyd like that it always surprises me, but like you darkside etc doesn't do it for me | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 3:45am
Bill Mac:
A lot of the Syd period singles are pretty decent and his solo stuff is kind of an unexpected acquired taste. | |

Brian in UK:
Mornin' Bill & listeners. Agree on Pink Floyd comments. Distinct lack of humour/fun later on. But that progressive rock n'est pas! | |

"The Battle of Hastings occurred on 14 October 1066 during the Norman conquest of England,[3] between the Norman-French army of Duke William II of Normandy and the English army under King Harold II.[4] It took place at Senlac Hill, approximately 10 km (61⁄4 miles) northwest of Hastings, close to the present-day town of Battle, East Sussex, and was a decisive Norman victory." | |

Jay/ London:
organs in orbit this is the sort of stuff they used to play in the old cinemas when i was a kid before the films came on | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:09am
Bill Mac:
Organs in Orbit and a couple of the other Lounge comps are great listens. Wish they played that kind of stuff before our movies back in the day | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:12am
Jay/ London:
so what did they play before the films over there back in the day ? | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:16am
T-Zero:
Commercials... jingles Let's All Go to the Lobby... | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:17am
Bill Mac:
Good Question.... From what I remember we were generally treated to a couple of cartoons and other movie previews almost immediately. This was the 60s so maybe movie management wasn't thinking ahead more than getting us into the seats and keeping ourselves amused. The nice thing about the movies in those days was that we had three movie theaters within 5 minutes walking from the house... didn't think of it as being that special back then of course | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:17am
Jay/ London:
cave on the rise http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HnS10j09gc :) | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:18am
Bill Mac:
I remember let's all go to the lobby from going to the drive in... seems more appropriate in a location that actually HAD a lobby. | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:18am
T-Zero:
Oh! Yeah. I remember the cartoons as well. | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:20am
Jay/ London:
we had organs that rise from the stage .. they were great | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:21am
Jay/ London:
we never had any drive-ins here as far as i know | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:23am
Andrew:
We had a Drive-In only 5min up the road from here, you could see the lights around the screen from our front verandah. It's been pulled down now. One of the last movies shown there was George of the Jungle. Our old cinema used to show ads & previews then the movie. I never got to see cartoons before. | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:25am
Jay/ London:
@andrew was that in the uk if so where ? | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:26am
T-Zero:
The cable companies use the jingle here now to advertise movies on demand... Bill, yeah. I remember that jingle from the drive-ins too. First move I saw at a drive-in was Vincent Price - Pit and the Pendulum | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:27am
T-Zero:
@Andrew... The drive-ins in my area used to have a kiddy section too, with things like pony rides | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:27am
Andrew:
nope, Victoria, Australia. specifically, Newborough. i think it was called Fair Sky Drive-In. Now I think there are only 2 left in Victoria. | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:29am
T-Zero:
The one near me was called Sky-Hi. I think they tore it down in the mid 70s. | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:29am
Andy in Berlin:
I never went to a drive-in in my life. I'm certainly of the right age but we just didn't have one in my area. (used to live in NY state) | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:32am
Andrew:
I never went to see a movie there either O_Q At the time we just went to the cinema in the next town, cos Drive-Ins were old fashioned. I went there for a sunday market once or twice. I figured it would just be there forever... | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:34am
T-Zero:
We went to drive-ins a lot because we were poor and us kids could hide in the car trunk to get in for free | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:35am
abby in france:
andy, there are a ton of drive-ins still open in upstate new york, around the catskills and hyde park and so forth. the orpheum, in saugerties, is really really old and velvety, but it's just a movie theater, not a drive-in. | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:38am
Jay/ London:
i saw the cramps in my cinema in kings cross london afterwards they played the cramps fav movies that was in about 1992 | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:40am
T-Zero:
@Jay : I saw the Tubes in a movie theatre... | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:42am
T-Zero:
That must have been in the late 70's, because it was a White Punks on Dope show | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:42am
Andrew:
Ours only played movies. The old one had only 2 screens in it. Seemed a lot more 'cosier' than the new one, which has about 7 or 8. Same with video game arcades. They are all disappearing. | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:43am
T-Zero:
Errrr, I mean What do you Want from Life | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:43am
Bill Mac:
Nice... I think in their usual haste to update the theaters back then we lost a lot of history (ie organs and live acts for that matter). My pop grew up in the neighborhood before I did and said that he saw the Three Stooges when they were a traveling act. I wish I could ask him to corroborate that story. Hate to think he got shafted and saw one of the lesser Stooges.... yeah, most of the drive-in's in the Mid-Atlantic are no more... | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:45am
Andrew:
yay, T-Rex ^_^ the closest I'll come to seeing a band in a theatre might be when they play this Nirvana concert later this month. Supposedly a satellite global premiere of a concert during the Nevermind tour. | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:47am
Jay/ London:
@ t-zero did they show moves as well on the night ... we have old movie theatres here that now only have groups playing in them now .. they can not knock them down as they are listed buildings | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:48am
T-Zero:
I really don't know why the tubes were at the movie theatre because there would have been other venues. @Jay: It was still a working cinema. But when they performed it was just the tubes, no movies that night. | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:51am
Looms:
Ah, Little Annie... | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:52am
T-Zero:
Oh! I like this Larsen song. | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:55am
Bill Mac:
Now that I think of it, there is a venue in Philadelphia that used to be a movie theater, now hosts all the 2nd tier acts.... so I DO occasionally get to see a band there... although it now looks more like a music hall than it did when they showed flicks.... gotta go, although you guys should be able to take this conversation well into the afternoon... next week my friends! | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:56am
Looms:
Was it a whole Little Annie/Larsen gig or did she just join them on this track? | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:57am
Looms:
The show's already over!? How time flies... See ya! | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:57am
T-Zero:
Take care, Bill. Thanks. I'll be off to sleep for a bit now. | |
|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:58am
Andrew:

|
Sat. 9/10/11 5:59am
