Pink Floyd - "Chit Chat With Oysters" - December 1971 (Studio Europa Sonor, Paris, France)
Музыка
A previously unreleased interview from December 1971 of Pink Floyd at Studio Europa Sonor in France, is now available in full on KZread for the first time. Only a few edits had to be made, consisting of cutting out some of the Live at Pompeii footage due to copyright. Big thanks to Adrian Maben and Cinémathèque Française for this release! You can find the original 52 minute video here: www.cinematheque.fr/henri/fil...
Notes:
In December 1971, Pink Floyd found themselves in the small Europa-Sonore studio in Paris to improve the quality of the multi-track mixing of the film Live at Pompeii, shot by Adrian Maben. With recording engineer Charles B. Raucher, they wanted to overdub music and sound effects on the original soundtrack. David Gilmour and Richard Wright doubled their voices for the song Echoes, part I and II, Roger Waters and Nick Mason remaining in the booth. From the eight tracks recorded at Pompeii, they obtained twenty-four.
This film is a portrait of the group as it was more than a year before the release of the album The Dark Side of the Moon. It bears witness to one of the most fruitful periods in its existence. The recording session was filmed with a Coutant camera on 16mm black and white reversal stock. The rushes were found again by the filmmaker and are now preserved at the Cinémathèque française. They have never been seen except for a ten-minute excerpt used in the director's cut of Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii. Adrian Maben goes back over this experience: "I succeeded in filming this session that bears witness to the extraordinary complicity that existed at the time between all the members of the group. They made fun of me, of journalists' clichés, the public, drugs and themselves. They were the kings of understatement, their dry humour was devastating, destabilizing and merciless. Especially that of Roger Waters. Richard Wright, more discreet, kept a bit apart from the others. Later on, he acquired the nickname 'The Quiet One'. It was a long day. To give themselves strength, they sent the 'roadie', Chris Adamson, out to buy a few dozen oysters and beer at the Brasserie Lorraine. Suddenly, the oyster feast became the epicentre of a hilarious, explosive conversation. They talked and talked: Pompeii, computers replacing musicians (or not), the arrival of David Gilmour after the departure of Syd, oysters crossing national borders, the Berlioz chorale, money and the astute methods they had invented to stop fighting! In short, there was a bit of everything and anything for a half-day of shooting. It must be understood that, at that time, Pink Floyd did not speak to the public, never gave interviews. For them, newspapers were devoid of interest, journalists were old and understood nothing about their music. Publicity was useless because their concerts were always sold out, word of mouth sufficing to fill the halls. This simple, amusing document is unique. The rushes did not require much editing and capture the inner spirit of the four-man band. All things considered, Pink Floyd: Live at Pompeii could be shown after Chit Chat With Oysters, one being the counterpart of the other. Is this a film, a reportage or putting a disc into pictures? Forty years later, I still don't know."

This a holy grail right here, never thought we'd get more from the Live at Pompeii era, makes me wonder how many other lost footage exists just waiting to be found
I was about to say that this footage is pure gold... but actually it is an astounding piece of cosmic platinum!!!
This is spectacular, I don't know where to begin! The new footage of Gilmour and Wright recording Echoes, that alone makes this so amazing! I suppose it was a given that Waters was in the booth while they were recording it, but I didn't know the extent to which he was producing their performance. This video warrants repeat viewing, no doubt, but the first impression I get is further confirmation that this band has little to no personal chemistry between them, it's truly amazing to think these people would be together for entire decade ahead, in this incarnation, during which they'd record some of the finest music in modern history.

....this footage is historical, in that no one else at this time, realised how ground breaking they were. Equipment was stacking up and new tech taking over. Only these guys ( and the Beatles) had the freedom,money and expertise to use it.
I like how all of the members were on a spectrum of serious to not-serious, like on the serious end you had Rick Wright and on the other end you had Roger Waters who was probably so high he probably didnt have a clue what was going on 😂😂
Wow, I love Dink Freud. Thought I've seen every obscure footage over the years. Obviously not. Amazing, Rog had a sense of humor and sitting next to Dave. Maybe oysters really do transcend boundaries. Thanks for posting, sure every Floyd nerd fan is geeking out. Just like me, jolly good.

Ive seen the Pompeii movie numerous times and have always enjoyed this era of Pink Floyd. Great to see this footage that must have been in a vault all these years.
38:59 As Rick says, Pink Floyd is its own musical genre‼
Excellent! thank you! "Echoes" and "Live in Pompeji " Is my favourite Floyd Period. I first saw them live in 1970 where they drew heavily on songs from More, Umma Gumma (live side) and Atom Heart Mother. Apart from the brilliant playing and sound effects (Richard Wright with his azimuth coordinator) it was a joy to see the friendship of Gilmour ynx Waters on stage as they traded jokes etc... Some of that comes through with Waters toking.... Live in Pompeji remains one of the best concert films along with Monterey, Woodstock and Mad Dogs and Englishman, as I like stories to be interwoven with the music. As a pure live concert there's nothing better than AC/DC live at Donington: the incredible energy of both Singer and Angus doesn't let up for one second🎉❤
The first thing I need to mention is David's dreamy lips. Second, Roger is ripped of his face. But what stands out mostly is that they are the most well spoken and well mannered young men in rock - especially for that time. This doc is awesome, thanks for posting. My fandom is complete. Thank you Pink Floyd for being in our lives.

Yeah, but a lot of that is the personalities, really. I mean, Roger is being incredibly cocky throughout. But you can also see how David is maybe better at superficially hiding when he's annoyed, but can get just as annoyed as Roger. They just deal with it really differently - and in ways that aren't really that compatible.
