The video I am currently watching is my favorite, at least until I play the next one, especially the Duo Sessions Starry starry night ????
I know it sounds like a cop out, but I can’t narrow down five favorites.
Wish You Were Here was written in tribute to Syd Barrett. While never diagnosed, it’s now assumed that he had schizophrenia. That was enhanced with long use of LSD, which lead to his removal from the band and life for that matter.
The entire album is based on absence and loss.
Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far

Do you suppose that waiting hands on eyes
Veronica has gone to hide?
And all the time she laughs at those
Who shout her name and steal her clothes
Veronica

Oh, oh

I see what you mean about the “Funeral March”, Jung. The accompanying images were timed very well to match the music. It’s very moving.
I sometimes listen to songs that match my mood. A good mood can be made better by happy music. But when I am down sad music brings me comfort. I think sad music helps the listener work through their emotions.
Sometimes a long drive and a good cry is what you really need.
and for happy times

I get the same results.
Not that that is a bad thing. I mean, it’s Orange! Nice

Orange was made for earbuds. There is a lot of left/right details in “Once Upon A Time “. The backward guitar work is awesome.
Yes, their voices blend together to make delicious ear candy on every track. Orange truly shows they are in it for Love.

Nice!

My favorites are “Love Is All Around Me” and “Ain’t No Sunshine” (despite it’s double negative chorus – ain’t ‘no’ sunshine means there ‘is’ sunshine when she is gone, and that ain’t right, or is it a double entendres? ???? There is so much sunshine when she’s gone, I wish she’d stay away forever? ????) Both songs really show off the combined family talent.
A couple of these tunes are quite challenging. One would expect to compare a past performance to now and remark on the band’s growth. This selection of songs really displays their talent was evident from the get go. The Santana song is amazing and Lisa Clapper really shines on “Wonderful Tonight”.
I think this concert also begs the chicken/egg question. Luckiest parents in the world, or luckiest kids in the world?

How about scrambled eggs? Pink Floyd’s Atom Heart Mother ends with a suite breakfast
5. “Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast”
I. “Rise and Shine”
II. “Sunny Side Up”
III. “Morning Glory”
This album was released in 1970. I remember as a teen in the late seventies going through the racks at the record store and staring at this album cover wondering what this breakfast piece was about. We knew Pink Floyd for their greatest hits. Eventually I handed over $15(albums were expensive?) for it and was blown away by how good it is. It has some beautiful acoustic numbers on it.
So Alan has a nice breakfast to prepare. As with most Floyd works, earbuds are recommended. After breakfast there is a very nice instrumental piece. The whole album flows very smoothly and is great for a country ride. Please check out “Fat Old Sun” while we’re at it.

Oh yeah, fun fact. Later, when Roger Waters recorded his solo album Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking, he has a segment where you hear the main character ordering room service, basically ordering Alan’s breakfast. Alan? Alan Parsons was a recording engineer on Atom Heart Mother. He also created the Alan Parsons Project.
This has a really nice guitar solo at the end.

‘There really is no ark side of the moon. As a matter of fact, it’s all dark”
Hands up, who knows where that is from?

The “Good Day Sunshine” Duo Session is my wake up alarm.

May I throw a little Floyd in?
Pink Floyd released one of their first singles,”Arnold Lane” in 1967. It peaked at twenty in the UK charts, though it was banned on some stations.
This is really sub-par compared to everything posted here. This video is basically the band just messing around. Keep in mind, these are some of the people behind “Dark Side Of The Moon”.

I agree. Orange flows very well from beginning to end. It’s definitely one of those albums that begs to be listened to from beginning to end.
I like to compare “Club 27” to Pink Floyd’s “Great Gig In The Sky” Both albums cover life experiences and the human condition in their own way with a song about death placed near the end. The segue from “The Future “ to “No More Worries Company “ begins the journey. Just a couple thoughts.
New album, long car ride, and plenty of java sounds perfect.

Congratulations Bill!
Sleeping in till six sounds refreshing. When you wake in the morning your first thought will be Alice Cooper,”School’s out, for-ev-er!”
Remember, with age comes the entitlement for a second piece of pie, well maybe just a sliver. Sounds like you have plans for some great adventures. Now keep in mind, when you share your adventures with us some of us may be a tad jealous, so maybe point out how you miss going to work and wish you could go back to the daily grind.
We’re very happy for you and wish these are “The Best Years Of Our Lives”.

Hi Jung,
The Carl Sagan reading made me think of this song,”The Speck of Dust”
https://youtu.be/a1zNRIs0OiMhttps://youtu.be/a1zNRIs0OiM
These lyrics portray a similar tone. The throat singer is different but it fits. I found this band when I was looking for Steely Dan covers. They are pretty kool.

Beware: searching “the speck of dust” opens some very deep rabbit holes. ????????????????????

Tom, do you hear all of the background voices on Dark Side of the Moon? Listen as the album ends….earbuds will help.
those voice snippets were from the series of interviews the band did with various people around the studio. They were presented with cards with questions and instructed not to read the question, just answer it. It’s been said that Paul and Linda McCartney were interviewed but they were so accustomed to being interviewed that their answers weren’t really usable. I think some of the questions were as simple as when was the last time you got mad or when was the last time you hit somebody.
The band’s road manager Peter Watts (father of actress Naomi Watts) contributed the repeated laughter during “Brain Damage” and “Speak to Me”.
“Perhaps that explains why you’re mad”

Hey Jung,
You’ve got that right. They really tear it up with “Bulldog”. That was a very tight line-up. It’s quite apparent that the band is having fun. The guitars sound so kool.am expecting every audience to bark and howl when this song is played.
