Jaco Pastorius, bass player extraordinaire. Died September 21st 1987.

 
Excellent.

(I listened to the whole of Topographic Oceans last night Mutey. I did do some word games during part of side 3, and I needed beer before side 4, but it was a lovely trip down memory lane).
 
Just had a spiritual experience with side 4 of TFTO and two bottles of Old Peculiar, Mutey.

Echoes next I think. Where's the mushrooms when you need them.

That's quite spooky. I did exactly that on Saturday night for the first time in years.
I see Jon Anderson is playing in the UK in the Autumn. Much better than the so called official Yes.

You only need to listen to this in a dark room, magic.

I think they released a CD of the Live at Pompeii concert recently in tandem with some IMAX version of the film.
Still sends shivers down my spine watching Gilmour play that guitar solo from Echoes in the deserted amphitheatre, with the bass thudding away in the background, and the camera panning along the bank of speakers with 'Pink Floyd, London' stencilled on them.

Just had a quick look at that clip again and it struck me that youngsters watching it, fans of The Voice and BGT and suchlike, probably don't even recognise it as music!
Anybody under 30 please comment, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Damn, I'll have to play that cd now. Mason takes a lot of musical flak, but his drumming is perfect for their music. None more so than on this.

Careful with that axe...
 
Clasey will particularly want to watch it through a few times.
