GREAT VIDEO!!!!  I remember the first time I heard Floyd. I was 13 and my
friend and I were checking the record bins at K-Mart. We discovered this
really cool album from a band named "Pink Floyd"... Never heard of them. It
was a double album called "Ummagumma" and had a really cool cover. It was
like $4. So we both purchased copies and went home to our respective houses
and listened to it. What an eye-opening moment that was for me. Love Rick
Wright's Farfisa organ. Astronomy Domine is on that album, but with David
Gilmore performing it.

 

I saw Floyd in 1970 during their first US tour... Then saw the Dark Side of
the Moon tour a year or two later... Then saw their last tour a few years
ago (the DVD will be out any day now.. GET IT). I was pleasantly surprised
to hear them open once again with Astronomy Domine. All with a 60's
"overhead projector" light show...
