As such, it's a pivotal recording by the band. This appeared in another 1968 movie, called "San Francisco." However, it actually was recorded in late 1966. Since The Committee songs only add up to 15 minutes, I'd added a version of "Interstellar Overdrive" to the end. However, this does make for good mood setting background music. David Gilmour had joined the band as lead guitarist shortly before this was recorded, but you don't hear any blistering solos from him. What's revealed is mainly a lot of noodling around on the organ by Rick Wright. There is some sound degradation here and there, but it's like night and day compared to trying to listen to the music with the talking on top. I was able to remove all that, so you don't hear a word. Most of these songs had actors talking over them pretty much non-stop, from start to finish. I'm glad to say the program worked quite well. I realized if I could do that for them, I could do the same thing here, so I did. Early today, I posted a couple of Pink Floyd songs from 1967 where I was able to remove a BBC narrator talking over the music, due to two sound editing programs I use, Spleeter and X-Minus. But at least the worst problem of all the talking over the music can be eliminated, so one can actually properly enjoy the music for the first time. So, long story short, this is for die-hard Pink Floyd fans only. (Plus, they probably realized it wasn't their best.) Apparently, back in 1968, the band considered putting this music on record, but decided against it because they thought only 15 minutes would be a rip off for an album. Then, on top of all that, the Pink Floyd songs added together only make up about 15 minutes worth of music. Even the two songs included on the box set have some talking over them, though those were probably chosen because they don't have much compared to the others.

Secondly, all the Pink Floyd songs are mood setting incidental instrumentals, the kind one usually hears in movies, so it's far from their most interesting stuff.īut worst of all is the fact that the only known versions of the songs come from the movie itself, complete with the actors talking all over the songs. For one, apparently it's a pretty bad movie, with a length slightly under an hour, so few people have ever seen it. I have had five versions over the past 35 years, this is my favorite.Even if you're a die-hard Pink Floyd, chances are you've never heard of their songs from the 1968 movie "The Committee." Two of the songs made it onto "The Early Years 1965-1972" box set, but that's about it. This recording is one of best, definitely of this show. I believe there is a reference in Nicks' book that this was the last Pink Floyd show that all member's enjoyed playing together on stage. All the equipment had turned on and the tarp had to be removed from Nicks' kit. The stage crew had shut down the stage and started to pull a tarp over the equipment for the next nights performance when the band walked out on stage. The house lights were up and security was trying to clear the arena. There was about 10 to 15 minutes before the band came back out. That is also what David was referring too. Someone lit firecrackers (most likely larger firework like cherry bombs or M80's) in that corridor making it drown out the music. In the original configuration of the arena there was a tunnel that led to a convention hall and then continued to the stadium next door. The "Boom" were firecrackers lit by an audience member in an exit tunnel at mid arena.
