Show #122 - Release date: 14. November, 2008

Halloween has always been a flagship holiday in the jam band community, second only to New Year's Eve. And with a band like Gov't Mule, expecting something special is more than fair. Phish are attributed with getting the Halloween spirit going in the jam world with a performance of The Beatles' The White Album in its entirety on 10.31.94. Years later, we've seen costumes and covers of all colors and genres. But, on Halloween 2008, Mule outdid themselves with a second set packed full of Pink Floyd tunes from throughout the psychedelic pioneers' career.*

I'm speechless, in shock and very saddened... I can't remember the last time I was this teary eyed.

"Pink Floyd keyboard player and founder member Richard Wright has died aged 65 from cancer.

Wright appeared on the group's first album, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, in 1967 alongside lead guitarist Syd Barrett, Roger Waters and Nick Mason.

David Gilmour joined the band at the start of 1968 while Barrett left the group shortly afterwards.

Wright penned songs on classic albums including The Dark Side Of The Moon and Wish You Were Here.

Wright's spokesman said: "The family of Richard Wright, founder member of Pink Floyd, announce with great sadness that Richard died today after a short struggle with cancer.

"The family have asked that their privacy is respected at this difficult time."

I almost decided to call the show "Denver matrix”.  Instead this podcast gets its title from the forum on Col Turner's website pinkfloydz.com.

A very large group of great people from the forum came out to Denver to meet up and enjoy Roger Waters at the Pepsi Center.  I was very fortunate to be amongst them.  It was a time to be had.

Finally, a Denver recording has become available.    Not one, but two different sources popped up, so I decided to kick it up a notch and make a matrix of the two.  The result is impressive.  I've been eagerly waiting to share this moment with you.  Enjoy!

Show #112 Release date: 30. May, 2008

If any of you fellow Floydians or Floydettes dig Trance, Techno, Ambient House music then this podcast is right up your alley.  If you don’t like that kind of stuff, an open mind is required.

Remember Golgo Hakase?  He did a nice job with his Far East podcast… episode 109.  Check it out if you haven’t.  He sent something else along.  Golgo says “Doc, hope this doesn't get you hot.  I know Floyd fans are pretty divided on the Trance Remix thing. I've been playing around with them for a while now and I've come up with an extended 80 minute jam of what I think are the best of the remixes.  I compiled one track from almost every Floyd album that's been remixed and a few extras to boot”

Show #111 Release date: 17. May, 2008

Finally an end to 20 years of waiting for this rare concert recording to appear.  For this podcast we go back to May 6 1988, Sullivan Stadium, Foxboro, Massachusetts.

It's the standard set list but the band sounds tight and gives the crowd a great performance. The pig met an unfortunate end when it was grabbed by the audience and torn to shreds. Fortunately, the band kept a spare inflatable on hand.

Nick thinks we (because I was there) were "an overly-enthusiastic or fanatically vegan audience."  David asked the crowd, "Did you enjoy your way with our pig?" He then adds, "I don’t know what the fuck happened to it… seems like a lack of discipline will get you torn into bacon around here."

Doctored for supersound, enjoy!

Show #110 Release date: 1. May, 2008

After a two hour delay leaving Denver due to snow, I finally made it back to Boston.

Before I get into what this podcast is, I've got to say, the Denver meet up was tremendous!  Its was an amazing, kick-ass time, I'll never forget.  I met a lot of great people and hopefully made some new friends.

Roger and the band sounded the best I've heard from the Dark Side tour(s).  There's a good chance you'll get to see it on DVD in the future. (and hopefully a near future podcast)

For those of you who didn't go, we wished you were there. Before the show (and after) we all met at a cool bar across the street from the Pepsi Center, called Brooklyn's.  This special version of Brain Damage was created for in-house play for AFG members at the bar before the show.  It was difficult to hear inside but outside, it was cranked very loud and it was very cool.

Show #107 Release date: 21. March, 2008

This podcast features the interests and work of Nick Mason. Most people wouldn’t know it but Nick Mason contributed more than just his drumming.  He’s done some of Floyd’s stage design and graphics.  He’s even done some vocals on occasion.  As for his interests, Nick is a pilot instructor and race car driver.  His love for cars even allowed him the chance to design VW’s limited edition Pink Floyd cars in 1994.  Rev up those engines… finally, its Nick’s turn.

Show #105 Release date: 22. February, 2008

On the 23rd of May 1968, Pink Floyd performed three shows in one evening.  One gig was just outside Amsterdam but the other two were at Paradiso. 

The venue was once an old church and has high ceilings and a balcony overlooking the stage area.  Imagine how cool it must have been watching Floyd perform A Saucerful of Secrets with three large illuminated stained glass windows above the stage. 

These two gigs took place within the first six months of Paradiso’s opening as a publicly-subsidized youth entertainment center.  It was also one of the first locations in which the use and sale of soft drugs was tolerated, so space out and enjoy.

Show One
1. Let There Be More Light
2. Interstellar Overdrive
3. Set The Controls for The Heart of The Sun
4. A Saucerful of Secrets

Show Two
1. Keep Smiling People
2. Let There Be More Light
3. Set The Controls for The Heart of The Sun
4. Flaming
5. A Saucerful of Secrets 

Running time: 1h:56m:40s

Show #104 Release date: 9. February, 2008

Tried and true, is the color of blue.  Blue is a teardrop from my eye.  Blue is the notes of a lullaby, and blue is the breeze from the sky.  Blue flows smoothly in streams.  Blue is pretty nice it seems.  I like blue in my dreams. But, then there’s this, my favorite blue, my latest from me to you.  No playlist for this one... makes it more fun.  Enjoy.

Running Time; 2h:07m:00s

Show #103 Release date: 25. January, 2008

The Complexity of staging The Wall live meant that Pink Floyd could not take it on the road, as they had done with live performances of their previous albums.  Instead, The Wall had to be set up days in advance at a select arena, performed for a series of shows, and then dismantled over the course of a couple of days.  As a result, The Wall was performed in only two venues in the United States, and two more in Europe, for a total of just 31 shows.*  This show is the third of six at Earls Court, 6th August, 1980.

  1. Announcements
