That’s awesome- I’ll have to check that site out. I love Floyd!! I have the 180g remastered versions of Meddle & Animals, the rest are versions I bought in the 80’s or CD. The new pressings are far superior to my copies from the 80’s. (80’s vinyl kinda sucks, but they are making good vinyl again now). I’m slowing re-buying my collection on the new pressings.
Sure, check it out. Lots of knowledgeable members. The live recordings are such a great insight into how the band developed over time because they played their material live and perfected it on the road before they recorded it in the studio. Don't expect SBD quality sound as these were audience recordings, but many are extremely listenable. If not for these people lugging around big Reel to Reel recorders and such, these performances would be lost to the sands of time and exist only in memory. They are important documents to be sure. The early version of The Dark Side of the Moon (known as the working title Eclipse: A Piece for Assorted Lunatics) is fascinating. First performed in the winter of '72 you can chronicle how the piece developed. Much different than the official album. Same goes for Shine On and some Animals tracks which are very very different when first performed in 1974.
No shit? Can you hear him every morning just walk out on to his front lawn and scream "Fuck you Rog!!!!"?
Very Cool - I will check it out for sure! It’s sounds super interesting. I just hooked up a steamer this is year - lol. So will need to research digital audio files a bit for sure.Sure, check it out.

Just be aware that downloads are in the form of torrents, and in a file format called FLAC, so you should know familiarize yourself with these things and how they work. I'll leave it at that, I don't want to get banned for boring people to death lol. If you need help feel free to PM me
Whoa, really? I assume that's on a Reel to Reel, right? That's a nice piece right there. One of Rogers more interesting compositions.
Let me preface this discussion by saying that my grandparents and parents were ALL major collectors . Antiques mostly - but they ventured into almost anything that was considered a collectible item . Rare furniture from the late 1700’s to the mid 1870’s . Rare books . Old vintage cars ( which I do collect ) .
Holy moly! What an epic tasting session! What were your favorites?
Randy Marsh sample set
we did a few flights blind (had my wife pour them out) and Single Oak Project was a dark horse favorite amongst the crew.
this is so cool - have you ever made golf head covers? driver / mallet putter heads to be specific?
I've got a little over a year left for 25/full-medical but financial-wise, I might have to stay another 2-4 more after that... 
That’s not collecting. That’s eclecting.Is it still collecting if you buy a bunch of stuff but there's really no rhyme/reason for the purchases other than something like "oh man that's pretty cool" or "I think that would be perfect for [this/that purpose]" or "ok, this will be the last one of these I buy", etc? Off the top of my head, I have way too many gear bags/packs, flashlights, watches, tshirts, and knives - but none of them are what I would call really high end or what I think real collectors would consider "special"...
This describes me buying chips. No rhyme or reason and no use for most of them. But look, “these are cool”. I’ll find some use for them as I throw them on a shelf to discover them months or years later.Is it still collecting if you buy a bunch of stuff but there's really no rhyme/reason for the purchases other than something like "oh man that's pretty cool" or "I think that would be perfect for [this/that purpose]" or "ok, this will be the last one of these I buy", etc?

Btw, what I REALLY want to start collecting is a pension.
