Show #184, Release date: 20. April 2012

It’s been a while since I've done something from the Division Bell Tour.  For this podcast, we go to the city of a thousand fires in Germany and take a ride in a Pink Floyd Limited Edition Golf by Volkswagen, who sponsored Pink Floyd's 1994 European Tour.   Live from Parkstadion, Gelsenkirchen, Germany, 23. August 1994. 

Although doctored for supersound, I recommend open room/car listening over headphones for this one.  If you use headphones, be careful and play at a lower volume.  You may need to adjust the high or lows to your liking.  Please leave your comments and let me know what you think.

This is the second of the two concerts at the Super Pop '70 VII, Casino de Montreux, Montreux, Switzerland, 22. November 1970.  This second performance, hastily added at 2.30pm, is entitled "Too Early For A Gig" (HRV CDR 037).  I've featured "this" few times before but Harvested recently released the most complete and accurate version to date.  There's always been a little confusion over this recording but no longer.  For this podcast, Harvested Records founder RonToon is my guest and he sheds some light on this popular recording.

First, I very big happy birthday to Nick Mason, who celebrates his 68th today.  Happy Birthday Nick and many happy returns!  

2012 marks Floydpodcast's 7th year!  What better way to start it all off than without Pink Floyd.  Thats right, I asked some of you on the Floydpodcast Facebook Page to suggest an idea and this was one of them.  I've been meaning to do this kind of a podcast for a long time and it turned out to be one of the more challanging ones I've put together.  For this, we take a look at work Floyd members have done for other musicians.  It's an interesting listen and I hope you enjoy.

It's another convenient little themed, mix of a podcast I hope you won't forget... all nicely wrapped in a bow.  It's about remembering and it seems to go rather well with the season so why not a 'Christmas/Holiday''ish episode.  Its the first... and probably the last of such though... anyway, enjoy!
