Most underrated Floyd Album. Childhoods End / Free Four got me fcuking groovin this am, thought I'd share my appreciation for "one" of the Greatest acid rock bands ever.
If I could post some Live loving via YouTube I would, but I'm "imbed impotent".

Your a good man, @mfhgreyboy, I'd put you in the phew good thread but I'm sure your already there. If anyone wants to sing along:
"Childhood's End"
You shout in your sleep
Perhaps the price is just too steep
Is your conscience at rest
If once put to the test?
You awake with a start
To just the beating of your heart
Just one man beneath the sky
Just two ears
Just two eyes
You set sail across the sea
Of long past thoughts and memories
Childhood's end
Your fantasies
Merge with harsh realities
And then as the sail is hoist
You find your eyes are growing moist
And all the fears never voiced
Say you have to make your final choice
Who are you and who am I
To say we know the reason why?
Some are born
Some men die
Beneath one infinite sky
There'll be war
There'll be peace
But everything one day will cease
All the iron turned to rust
All the proud men turned to dust
And so all things, time will mend
So this song will end
Anyone got a free four?

Has anyone seen the movie? it's the soundtrack to a movie and one of my favorite Floyd albums. I actually have the movie but I don't know where it is and I haven't seen it yet
Score: 1
This album is pretty heavy in my rotation. It's a great compliment to meddle. Sometimes I feel like they should've been a double album.
Score: 1
@Lefty, I said thank you before I listened. Seeing that was priceless brother no pauly vou francai but wow seeing them so young, seeing the body language hearing them talk about theatrics and people "cracking up" ha ha that video will never be removed from my brain, God willing

@careful_w_that_axe_Miller you are a wiser Pink Floyd scholar than I. I've never been sure what was included in the "rare" vid, only that is was trippy a hell and recorded about the same time as Obscured by Clouds...

Ironically, according to the band members themselves, none of them except Syd were really into using psychedelics at all. They were just big drinkers. But who knows, maybe they just didn't want to admit it.

In certain contexts and perspectives "not bring into" could mean once a week where as they drank all the time. They talk openly about using liquid at clubs in London's scene in the 60's, must of been awesome cream, who, Hendrix, Floyd, sabbath, zeppelin ha ha ha
Score: 0
yeah, i mean it was london in the late 60s. everyone was doing it. But I really dont think it had any influence on their sound once they kicked syd out of the band. maybe around the time they made meddle, but that would have been it. no way could they have made Dark side of the moon tripping on the regular like hendrix and the dead were doing.

@benevolution - you're probably right, but I can never get past the look on Gilmour's face in Live at Pompeii when he says:"Of course, we're not. You can trust us."
Score: 0
@benevolution, I disagree manThe wall was created for people that are tripping, the animation is awesome under influence of L. Every aspect of the movie was for the perspective of the tripping eye. They are an ACID rock band, Atomheartmother tripping face driving all night in my sunbird with the lights off was transcendental, as was its intention.
A reference:
Acid rock got its name because it served as "background" music for acid trips in underground parties in the 1960s (e.g. the Merry Pranksters' "Acid Tests"
.[3] ("Acid" is a slang term for LSD.) In an interview with Rolling Stone, Jerry Garcia quoted Grateful Dead band member Phil Lesh stating, "acid rock is what you listen to when you are high on acid." Garcia further stated there is no real psychedelic rock and that it is Indian classical music and some Tibetan music that are examples of music "designed to expand consciousness."[6] The term "acid rock" is generally equivalent to psychedelic rock. Rolling Stone magazine includes early Pink Floyd as "acid-rock".[7] In June 1967 Time magazine wrote, "From jukeboxes and transistors across the nation pulses the turned-on sound of acid-rock groups: the Jefferson Airplane, The Doors, Moby Grape".[8] In 1968 Life magazine referred to The Doors as the "Kings of Acid Rock".[9]When hard rock and heavy metal became prominent in the early and mid 1970s, the phrase "acid rock" was sometimes mistakenly applied to these genres. Over time, these bands such as Alice Cooper fell in under the term "heavy metal" which replaced "acid rock" for these styles of music.[10]

i have no doubt that the band knew a huge chunk of their audience would be tripping on acid while watching/listening to the wall. im just saying the band themselves had stopped taking acid before and during their performances by the early 70s. atom heart mother definitely acid rock. same goes for piper and umagumma, pure acid rock. my only point was that the band seemed to get more serious in the mid 70s once syd was gone and roger waters was the de facto leader. in your citation it says "Rolling stone magazine includes early pink floyd as acid rock". Thats all that im saying, that they moved away from the "psychedelic" sound that defined the late 60s. as did most of the bands that survived the turn of the decade and kept making albums and touring into the 70s. with the exception of the Dead, of course... i think we're splitting hairs at this point.and for the record, the wall is great to watch on weed, but its a real downer when on acid. has a real negative vibe to it, as did everything pink floyd did during the dark years when waters and gilmour grew apart. i would never recommend listening to animals or the wall on acid, to anyone. makes for a bad trip. but hey thats just my opinion.

@lefty said: Howard Stern interviews Roger Water on SiriusXM. 01/18/2012. Waters discussed his drug use.he said he did acid a grand total of two times. i havent heard gilmour, mason or wright go on record but i would bet their answer would be the same. "tried it, wasn't for me". especially considering they all had spent years watching syd barrett descend into madness - though not completely caused by drug use, it certainly played a big part in his breakdown.
Score: 0
Fascinating stuff, love the discussion. I am quite sure that in a Saucerful of secrets they discuss L use openly and exactly what happened to syd, he got dosed "a bunch" of hits before some tv show, they show the publicity show and he looks charasmatic, during the performance he was aloof. a person shouldn't talk about L use though not even on .net, I've never tried the stuff either
Just think that "good" people who are icons, indpiration and role models aren't going to be like "ya I dosed as much as I could" that's Ozzie's job, it's not the classy or PC thing to do. Imo
Listening to 1970 Zep at Albert Hall, jimmy page played dazed and confused with a bow and ripped white summer, I became aroused. Best ever man. You tube, who knew??? Finding this music makes me so happy to be noobish, fcuking stoked; .net making my life better every day.
