Get hairy at Pompeii

May 12, 2011, 19:59

As zphage also said, Floyd did get "hairy" jams going in their pre-concept album days (at least through Meddle/Live at Pompeii.)

The "midtempo/rhythmically intert" thing is a bit unfair -- I think one of their greatest strengths was RESTRAINT. I used to think Mason was a crap drummer -- surely no Bonham or Moon (and don't call me SHirley!) -- but now dig that he is really more of a krautrocker than a "british classic rock" drummer. Immaculate tasteful timekeeping.

When Floyd does "rock out" it's all the more dramatic for the epic build that precedes it.

ANIMALS maaaan . . . . and check out the Pompeii movie if you've never seen it! It's no masterpiece, but the best sequences are as iconic and amazing as any "rock film" I've ever seen.

My favorite bit starts 6:25 into this clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=646KtkEcPm8
