A great PF video showing off the drumming skills of Nick Mason, taken from the "Live at Pompeii" which was 1972 film featuring Pink Floyd performing six songs in the ancient Roman amphitheater in Pompeii, Italy. This was filmed between October 4, 1971 and October 7, 1971. Watch around the 5:00 mark of the song when he loses on of his drum sticks but still does not lose a beat..."lay back and groove".
Nicholas Berkeley "Nick" Mason born 27 January 1944 in Edgbaston, Birmingham, England is the drummer for Pink Floyd. He has been the only constant member of the band since its formation in 1964. He also competes in auto racing events, such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
"Speak to Me" is one of only a couple of PF songs that is solely credited to Nick. The only times Mason's voice has been included on Pink Floyd's albums are "Corporal Clegg", the single spoken line in "One of These Days" and spoken parts of "Signs of Life" and "Learning to Fly" (the latter taken from actual recording of Mason's first solo flight) from A Momentary Lapse of Reason..."lay back and groove".
Pink Floyd's "Echoes" set to the ending scene of Stanley Kubrick's 2001:A Space Odyssey,it is a near-perfect synchronization with 2001’s storied finale "Jupiter and Beyond the Infinite." Roger Waters was once quoted as saying that they regretted not doing the soundtrack to this movie when they were asked. So did they record Echoes afterward to sync up with it?,you be the judge!..."lay back and groove".
An absolutely brilliant mix of Dark Side of The Moon synced to The Wizard of Oz.If you have never seen this and are a Pink Floyd fan take the time and enjoy it and watch how well it syncs together.This from Wikipedia about it: The Dark Side of the Rainbow, or The Dark Side of Oz, are two names commonly used in reference to rumors circulated on the Internet since at least 1994, that the Dark Side of the Moon was written as a soundtrack for the 1939 film The Wizard of Oz. Observers playing the film and the album simultaneously have reported apparent synchronicities, such as Dorothy beginning to jog as the band sings "no one told you when to run".Another one I like is when "Money" starts as soon as the movie switches from black & white to color and Dorothy first discovers the Yellow Brick Road.David Gilmour and Nick Mason have both denied a connection between the two works, and Roger Waters has described the rumors as "amusing".Alan Parsons has stated that the film was not mentioned during production of the album..."lay back and groove".
