In this issue of Old Nerd Drinking, we recap all of the trailers and information that were released from the High Nerd Holy Weeks of Comic Con, Gen Con, and D23. We have another story of John's Poor Impulse control with a quirky Vinyl Record that has some insane provenance. This also leads into some more meandering about physical media. We also continue our push to expand our reach so we can hopefully get invited back as press guests for Motor City Comic Con.

This week on Surface Noise — the show of record, talking records - we dig into where vinyl has been, where it's headed, and whether artificial intelligence could become the next unlikely chapter in record collecting. We kick things off with Current Events from the Vinyl Community, including the reported end of Columbia House — RIP to the legendary mail-order music club…or maybe not? We look at what's actually happening with the iconic name and why Columbia House still carries so much nostalgia for generations of music fans. Plus, Vinylphyle announces new audiophile vinyl releases from The Allman Brothers Band, Frank Sinatra, and GZA, and VinylCon heads to Los Angeles this weekend. Then we tackle a topic that could become increasingly important for collectors: AI TO VINYL. With platforms like Suno making it possible for almost anyone to generate original music using artificial intelligence, what happens when that music makes the jump from a digital file to a physical vinyl record? Inspired by Louie V of Vinyl Latte's recent opinion piece, we discuss what AI-generated music could mean for musicians, collectors, record labels, pressing plants, and the very idea of what makes a record worth owning. Does putting AI music on vinyl somehow legitimize it? Does it matter who — or what — actually created the music? Could AI-generated records eventually become collectible? And in a hobby built around authenticity, history, artists, and the human connection to music, does AI change what a vinyl record means? It's another collector-driven conversation about vinyl records, record collecting, audiophilia and MORE!
Is there really such a thing as a perfect video game? In this episode, we debate what it actually takes for a game to earn that label, whether a 10/10 score should mean flawless, and how much personal taste factors into the equation.Level 857 Video Game Podcast Ep-393: Does the Perfect Game Exist?00:00 - Intro03:03 - Indie Game of the Week Spotlight - OlliOlli World06:38 - Does the Perfect Game Exist?1:20:05 - Take-Two Boss Defends No Disc Version of GTA 6, Equates Physical Releases to Vinyl Records & a GTA6 Extended Look is Premiering Exclusively on Netflix1:24:38 - Xbox Project Helix Offers Complete Backward Compatibility1:28:24 - Xbox cut thousands of jobs, but a bigger threat to game development may be happening lower down the ladder & Turkey's AI dilemma is a perfect example1:33:20 - 7 classic JRPGs that are so good they never need a remake1:36:44 - Al played Anomaly Agent1:38:39 - Stal played Fire Emblem Path of Radiance1:40:20 - Stikz played Nervous Brickdown1:42:07 - Turb played Devil May Cry 51:44:01 - Choc played Halo Campaign Evolved, Gears E-Day, Marvel TokkonIf you enjoyed the podcast and would like to show support, doing anything below goes a long way:(1) Subscribe and share this podcast with close friends/family(2) Rate/Review us where ever you get your podcasts: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/level857(3) Become a member on Youtube, Fourthwall or Patreon for exclusive perks and discounts on merch! https://www.857ent.com/#membership(4) Get levelheaded merch here: https://level857-shop.fourthwall.com/(5) Hit the bell and subscribe to our live podcast and multiplayer, co-op gaming channel: https://goo.gl/Zy9RTD***Special shout out to all of our supporters, especially our Boss Level Members***John L., DaBagel69(6) Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/WHauNxQAM5

For the latest current events, the panel talks about a Rhino Reserve recall situation, the latest Vinylphyle release news underwhelming us, and a QUICK discussion on the Beatles/Rubber Soul box set announcement. Next we head north of the border for an in-depth conversation about what it's really like buying and selling vinyl in Canada from new friend of the show Nick, owner of the record store Resurrected Records, in Saskatchewan. Nick shares his origin story in starting a record store and all the things he's learned doing it close to two years strong (and at 25 years old, to boot!). We also touch on some irritable topics for our fellow vinylists up north including shipping costs and import fees to availability, local record stores, online marketplaces, and the unique challenges Canadian collectors face, as we compare experiences across borders and discuss how geography can shape the collecting journey. If you're passionate about vinyl records, record collecting, Discogs, rare LPs, vinyl community discussions, record stores, audiophile releases, music collecting, and the ever-changing vinyl marketplace, you've found your vinyl resting place.

Why do people love vinyl? It's easy to point to the sound, the artwork, or the nostalgia—but those are really just symptoms of something much deeper. PRESENTED BY HELLBENDER VINYL - http://hellbendervinyl.com In this episode of For the Love of Vinyl, we explore the five pillars of vinyl: Ritual, Preservation, Luxury, Intimacy, and Discovery. These five ideas help explain why records continue to captivate music fans in a streaming-first world—and why some vinyl releases become treasured keepsakes while others are quickly forgotten. Whether you're an artist, record label, collector, or simply curious about the resurgence of vinyl, this episode will change the way you think about making records people genuinely want to own.

From the latest vinyl record collecting news to one of the biggest debates in music, this week's episode of Surface Noise is packed with opinions, hot takes, and plenty of opportunities for you to weigh in! We kick things off with Current Events, covering the biggest headlines from the world of vinyl records, record collecting, audiophile releases, upcoming reissues, pressing news, and everything happening across the Vinyl Community. Topics covered: (1) Iron Maiden sells their catalog and intellectual property. What is gained? What is lost? (2) Not one but TWO DSS (Definitive Sound Series) One-Step announcements, including one announced at the launch of a new album (new Beck record, "Ride Lonesome). (3) A rare record collection is going up for sale through another Discogs co-op, this time with Lance and his store, Permanent Records, out of Los Angeles. (4) The grass-roots campaign in the VC led by Steve Westman to get the attention of Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page to reissue their catalog as Rhino Hi-Fidelity Audiophile releases. Will it work? Then we tackle a fascinating question: What's the difference between talent and skill? Are the greatest musicians naturally gifted, or have they simply mastered their craft through relentless work? We'll name some of the biggest artists in music history and debate whether they're truly talented, exceptionally skilled, both... or neither. This topic is sure to offend (you've been warned). If you love vinyl records, record collecting, classic rock, jazz, soul, metal, punk, country, live concerts, music history, audiophile discussions, record stores, Discogs, rare records, album collecting, and passionate conversations about music, this is an episode you won't want to miss. ⏬⏬⏬⏬ For more on host Concert Buddie: https://www.youtube.com/@ConcertBuddie https://concertbuddie.com IG: @concertbuddie For more guest Kendall (aka Spin Doctor and His Vinyl Mayhem): https://www.youtube.com/@spindoctorandhisvinylmayhem For more on guest Joel (Static ATX Records): https://staticatx.com IG: @staticatxrecords For more on Chris (Groove Seeker): https://www.youtube.com/@Groove_Seeker IG: @thegrooveseeker For more on Jason Roxas: https://www.youtube.com/@JasonRoxas For more information on Vinyl Community Podcasts: https://vinylcommunitypodcasts.com . . . .

Still hungry for more record talk? After Surface Noise, the conversation continues on Bonus Trax with a deep dive into one of the most fascinating corners of vinyl record collecting: albums that became valuable because something went wrong... or unexpectedly right. From infamous pressing mistakes and manufacturing errors to accidental cover art, label variations, mastering anomalies, withdrawn releases, and production quirks, we explore the records whose flaws transformed them into some of the most sought-after collectibles in the hobby. Sometimes a simple mistake creates a legendary rarity. Other times, a fortunate accident produces a version collectors chase for decades. Along the way, we'll discuss iconic examples like The Beatles' infamous "Butcher Cover", original pressings under dispute, or reworking the songs on the album, misprints, alternate mixes, promotional oddities, and other records whose stories are every bit as compelling as the music they contain. From a seasoned record collector, audiophile, crate digger, Discogs enthusiast, or eBay buyer to someone just discovering the world of rare vinyl, this Bonus Trax episode offers plenty of surprising stories, collecting insights, and hidden gems that prove perfection isn't always what makes a record valuable.

Amid the many return-to-analog trends in the U.S., vinyl records have held their footing as a popular medium since the early 2000s. In 2025, vinyl sales in the U.S. had its best year since the 1980s, and surpassed $1 billion for the first time ever. However, most vinyl record pressing is done overseas, with just over 40 record pressing plants currently manufacturing in the U.S. Object Permanence records, based in Salem, is the newest vinyl pressing plant in Oregon. They’re also now the sole local manufacturer, since Cascade Record pressing in Milwaukie closed its doors just last month. Object Permanence has been in operation for just over three weeks, and the co-owners Carrie Morrisey and Adam Philips will join us with the details of the vinyl-pressing business, and why they moved from Brooklyn, NY, to Salem to start their small-press record manufacturer.

If you like honest book talk, indie bookstores, and conversations that feel like you're hanging out with friends, this one's for you.

Dubble Deez Experience Presents Moodslingerz Magazine with Wyze9 And Afriqkan Stir Fry
In this episode of moodslingerz magazine D.Divine and Wyze Nine discuss the resurgence of vinyl records in the retail market as opposed to streaming.
In this episode of Seeing Them Live, Charles interviews Alan Rosenberg. Alan is the creator and host of The Alan Rosenberg Show on YouTube, a channel dedicated to his lifelong passion for music. Growing up on Long Island, New York, Alan was introduced to rock and roll at an early age through his older sister, whose bedroom walls were covered in posters of The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, and The Allman Brothers. By age 10, Alan was already building what would become a meticulously catalogued collection of over 5,000 albums — all of which he has listened to multiple times. In this episode, Alan takes host Charles Zona through the roots of his obsession, including the typed yearly album lists he kept starting in 1973, a tradition handed down from his sister that eventually evolved into a comprehensive digital database tracking every album he owns, every song on it, its chart position, and the year he acquired it. Alan shares vivid memories from more than five decades of concert-going, starting with his very first show — The Rolling Stones at Madison Square Garden in June 1975, featuring the legendary Lotus Stage and a then-new Ron Wood sitting in as guest guitarist. From there, the conversation moves through highlights including the Stones' massive Steel Wheels Tour at Shea Stadium, a Simon & Garfunkel reunion in Central Park, and what Alan calls perhaps his most purely fun concert experience: seeing The Rolling Stones at the intimate MGM Grand in Las Vegas during the 1999 No Security Tour. A standout moment from the episode is Alan's account of seeing U2 at The Sphere in Las Vegas — a venue he discovered before it became widely known — where the crystal-clear, immersive sound system left him calling it one of the greatest concert experiences of his life. The conversation also covers some of Alan's more disappointing experiences, including a Hackney Diamonds-era Rolling Stones show at MetLife Stadium where the sound quality was, in his words, "atrocious," and a Van Halen reunion show at Jones Beach that failed to deliver. Beyond the concert stories, Charles and Alan dive deep into the philosophy behind The Alan Rosenberg Show, where Alan refuses to review a new album until he has listened to it at least five times — sometimes eight or nine — because, as he puts it, music is deeply personal and mood-dependent. He discusses the decline of new music on classic rock radio, the fearlessness of artists like David Gilmour who still play entire new albums on tour, and why he believes the era of great classic rock concert experiences has fundamentally changed due to ticket prices, stadium sound problems, and the industry's shift toward playing only the hits. Alan also touches on his love of deluxe box sets, his growing appreciation for Taylor Swift's Midnights, and the warm, knowledgeable community he has built around his YouTube channel, which now features close to 600 videos. BANDS: The Allman Brothers, Billy Joel, Blue Öyster Cult, Dave Matthews, David Gilmour, The Eagles, Genesis, Harry Styles, Iron Maiden, James Brown, Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, The Moody Blues, Nazareth, Olivia Newton-John, Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd, Ratboys, The Rolling Stones, Ron Wood, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Simon & Garfunkel, Taylor Swift, Tina Turner, U2, Van Halen, Wishbone Ash, The Who, Yes.

What do you actually need to know BEFORE you press your vinyl record… and what mistakes will totally ruin it?In this episode, Piper Payne returns to take us way deeper into the real-world physics, workflows, and decisions behind vinyl mastering and pressing. We dig into how your mixes translate onto a lacquer, why the inside of a record behaves differently from the outside, and what you should never do with high-frequency content, fades, or waveform clipping if you want your album to play back clean.Piper walks us through mastering decisions that happen long before a lacquer is ever cut - from sequencing songs for the side A/B layout, to choosing what belongs near the inside groove, to dealing with transient-heavy material. We talk about how vinyl masters differ from digital masters, why certain modern productions literally "can't be cut," and how Piper preps mixes so she can create both vinyl- and digital-optimized versions without having to redo a full master.We also dig into the realities of running Physical Music Products, her independent pressing plant in Nashville. Piper explains realistic costs for pressing records, what 250-unit short runs look like, why PMP maintains fast 5–7 week turnarounds, and how they protect indie artists from being bumped by major-label orders. We get into pre-sales, special editions, distribution challenges, shipping logistics, recycled vinyl, and how PMP now handles merch, drop-shipping, and fulfillment to help artists actually profit from physical releases.Finally, Piper shares practical advice on handling, storing, and cleaning your vinyl once you've made it - including heat warping, inner groove distortion, groove guard, dust sleeves, jackets, mold issues, and even why some records can recover after a warp and some can't. She also covers creative fundraising ideas, how fans influence color pressing choices, and why vinyl is still the only format where artists control quantity, pricing, and revenue directly.This episode is packed with real-world mastering and pressing knowledge you won't get anywhere else.Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.comTHANKS TO OUR SPONSORS!http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.comhttps://usa.sae.edu/ https://www.izotope.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.native-instruments.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.spectra1964.comhttps://gracedesign.com/https://pickrmusic.com https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academyhttps://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/Listen to the podcast theme song “Skadoosh!” https://solo.to/lijshawmusicListen to this guest's discography on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6QRbUHGE73GJs2e6CuN2Ai?si=2f5bd18788fb4f2eIf you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/ReviewCLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRockstars.com/562
Welcome to another episode of Surface Noise: The Show of Record, Talking Records as we dive into the latest happenings in the world of vinyl record collecting, music fandom, and the hobby we all love. This week, we kick things off with the biggest current events in vinyl collecting, including industry news, record show calendars, new releases, and the stories collectors are talking about right now. Then we tackle a question that many collectors have wrestled with: Is over-analysis taking the fun out of record collecting?

In this latest edition of the podcast, Mick The Hat continues recounting his remarkable journey with Pink Floyd, continuing from where he left off with the final Wall show on June 17th, 1981 at Earl's Court. Beginning in 1984 with The Pros & Cons Of Hitchhiking tour, Mick's recollections as a Pink Floyd enthusiast and concert taper cover the early solo careers of Roger Waters and David Gilmour, continuing into Pink Floyd's final tour in 1994. Mick talks about how the desire for more Pink Floyd related records was at a peak in the mid 1980's, when many outside artists collaborated with members of the band before the “Dry Floyd” formed. Most notable is how a tape of David Gilmour playing Cliff Richard almost made it onto a bootleg vinyl, and currently has yet to be released.From accidentally flushing his contacts in a hotel room outside of Sweden, to running a Taxi Driver's toll fare up in New Jersey, finding himself in the sea of empty faces in Berlin, and witnessing after-gig road crew jams in Paris, Mick's stored and well-travelled recollections of this period is a story not to be missed.
In this episode, we examine the RadioShack Retro Turntable (Model 4001797), a $129.99 belt-drive player that aims to balance vintage aesthetics with modern connectivity. The unit plays all three standard speeds—33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM—and accommodates records up to 12 inches, making it compatible with most collections including older shellac formats. It features dual built-in speakers for immediate playback, though serious listeners will likely take advantage of the RCA outputs to connect to external audio systems. The turntable's standout feature is its bidirectional Bluetooth capability, allowing users to either stream audio to the turntable or send vinyl playback wirelessly to Bluetooth speakers. Additional connectivity includes a 3.5mm AUX input and headphone jack. Housed in an MDF case with a PVC vinyl finish and transparent dust cover, the turntable occupies a 15.75" x 14.17" footprint. At this price point, it positions itself as an accessible entry point for vinyl newcomers or a convenient secondary setup, offering out-of-the-box functionality without requiring immediate additional investment in external speakers.

What's really happening in the world of vinyl collecting right now—and where is it all headed? I On this episode of SURFACE NOISE, we kick things off with our weekly vinyl record collecting current events segment, breaking down the latest trends, news, and conversations shaping the hobby. From market shifts to collector behavior, we're covering what matters most to today's vinyl community. Then we tackle a topic that doesn't get discussed enough in today's hobby: the disappearing "middle class" of record collecting. With so much attention focused on ultra-expensive grails, rare pressings, and social media “big score” culture—and on the opposite end, cheap heat and dollar-bin finds—what happened to the collectors in the middle? The ones with budget/fiscal discipline, simply upgrading pieces they already have, or just looking for the best sounding version of their favorite albums - for them? Expect real talk, strong opinions, and insights from passionate collectors who live and breathe vinyl records.

In this episode, Charles interviews filmmaker and vinyl enthusiast Steve Herold, best known for the award-winning short film Death of an Umbrella Salesman. Steve takes us back to the summer of 1984 and his first concert — the Thompson Twins on their Into the Gap tour at the Garden State Arts Center in New Jersey. He shares how the show almost didn't happen, thanks to a failed attempt to see Van Halen at Madison Square Garden, and how that near-miss planted the seed for a lifetime of concert-going. The real coming-of-age concert moment, Steve admits, came two years later when he finally saw David Lee Roth on his debut solo tour — a far wilder introduction to arena rock than the Thompson Twins had provided. Steve opens up about his most memorable concert experiences, including his best-ever shows: the New Jersey alternative band Dramarama at the legendary Fast Lane in Asbury Park in the early '90s. Those packed, sweat-soaked club nights — where getting to the bathroom was nearly impossible and crowd surfing was mandatory — turned Steve into a devoted fan and shaped his love of small-venue rock. He also recounts the 1996 Sex Pistols reunion at New York's Roseland Ballroom, an evening of full-on debauchery that ended with him and a friend finding a $50 bill on the floor — money that had fallen from the pockets of crowd surfers — and heading out to continue the night on someone else's dime. The image of punk-show attendees pouring out of Roseland and colliding with Broadway theatergoers on the sidewalk is one of the episode's most vivid moments. Beyond concerts, the conversation dives into Steve's YouTube channel, where he has spent years showcasing his vinyl and CD collection and visiting independent record stores during his travels for TV production work. He reflects on how the channel introduced him to a whole new community of fellow collectors — friendships that have taken him to record stores in Reno, Southern California, Long Island, and Charleston, South Carolina. Steve also discusses his filmmaking work, including the upcoming documentary about a former Hot Tuna drummer who is also a visual artist, and two music videos he directed for his friend's garage rock band Manflesh, one of which is set to screen at the Coney Island Film Festival. The episode wraps with a shared appreciation for the Wet Leg concert both Charles and Steve attended in 2025, and a laugh-out-loud detour into the chaotic legacy of G.G. Allin. BANDS: Agent Orange, David Lee Roth, Dramarama, Eagles, G.G.

The conversation keeps spinning on SURFACE NOISE —the show of record, talking records. In this episode, the panel kicks things off with the latest current events in vinyl collecting, breaking down what's happening across the hobby right now—from record store chatter to the latest releases and headlines shaping collectors' conversations: - A new ERC release of a reissue staple? - Miles Davis returns in Salina, Kansas? - And another musician has left this celestial plane (but had some baggage while they were amongst the living). From there, we dig into a topic that might be too
Matt and Michael explore the tension between artificial and authentic in the age of AI. Opening with mortality and fatherhood, they spiral through technology's disconnecting effects, the nature of reality, and what it means to live meaningfully. Key themes include AI's impact on art and relationships, the sexualization of culture, the failure of modern education, and predictions about cultural revival. Cheers y'all
In this episode, Charles sits down with Victor Gurbo, a singer-songwriter, guitarist, and guitar builder from Brooklyn, New York. Victor's musical journey began early — literally from infancy, when his father discovered that Traveling Wilburys recordings were the only thing that could calm a crying baby Victor. That early imprinting on Dylan's collaborators set the stage for a lifelong obsession with live music, particularly the work of Bob Dylan, whom Victor estimates he has seen between 20 and 30 times. The conversation opens with Victor recounting his very first concert at age nine — an Arlo Guthrie show in Martha's Vineyard — a memory that exists more in fragments than in full, including nodding off during parts of the set, only to snap back awake for "Alice's Restaurant." The episode is rich with vivid concert memories. Victor shares stories of seeing Levon Helm multiple times at the Beacon Theatre and Terminal 5, reflecting on how Helm's deep love for his audience was palpable, especially after his battle with throat cancer. Victor also recounts a bittersweet Conor Oberst show in 2008, where he got to hear a then-unreleased song that would later appear on the next album — the kind of "you were there first" moment that makes live music so irreplaceable. But perhaps the most memorable story is the infamous Jack White show at Radio City Music Hall in 2012. After losing their tickets outside the venue and spending an hour on hold with StubHub, Victor and his friend were gifted front-row seats by a compassionate employee — only to watch White cut the show short, apparently unhappy with the audience's energy. For Victor, a performer himself, the experience was deeply personal and left a lasting impression on how he thinks about the relationship between an artist and their crowd. Victor's life as a performer and craftsman are equally compelling. After ordering a custom guitar from legendary New York luthier Rick Kelly — who famously builds instruments from the reclaimed wood of demolished Manhattan buildings — and waiting four and a half years for it to arrive, Victor taught himself to build guitars in the meantime, eventually winning Best Band in Brooklyn at NPR's Battle of the Boroughs in 2013 with an instrument he made himself. Since then, the band has performed at the Brooklyn Academy of Music and Carnegie Hall, where a mid-show equipment failure became the crowd's favorite moment of the night. Most recently, Victor released Gurbo and Company Live 2025, a live album recorded at NYC's Cafe Wha? featuring eight tracks, including covers of Bob Dylan's arrangement of "Rollin' & Tumblin'" and Johnny Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues." Victor can be found on all social platforms as Victor V. Gurbo, and his website has upcoming show dates and vinyl copies of his pandemic-era home recording project, Outrun the Invisible Man. BANDS: Amos Lee, Arlo Guthrie, Beach Boys, Beatles, Bob Dylan, Bright Eyes, Conor Oberst, Jack White, Johnny Cash, John Prine, Levon Helm, Mad Meg, Merle Haggard, Neil Young, Phoebe Snow, Scotia Rose, The Cure, The Villalobos Brothers, Traveling Wilburys, U2, Weezer, White Stripes, Willie Nelson. VENUES: Beacon Theater, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM), Cafe Wha?, Carnegie Hall, China Club, Governor's Ball, Highline Ballroom, Jones Beach, Mercury Lounge, NPR Green Space, Radio City Music Hall, Riot Fest, Terminal 5.

Today on The Gist, Mike Pesca continues his conversation with The New York Times' Noam Scheiber about his book, Mutiny: The Rise and Revolt of the College-Educated Working Class. Mike challenges the notion that unions are on a massive upswing by comparing their cultural footprint to the niche appeal of vinyl records. They discuss how a generation of overqualified workers found strategic leverage in the Starbucks trademark lawsuit and why many graduates are trading traditional career arcs for ideological solidarity. Plus, a ten-year retrospective on the "worst year ever" as Mike honors the luminaries of 2016 with a series of puns.

In Part 2 of our in-depth conversation with Greg Taylor, we turn to Pink Floyd's concerts in 1968, as Greg recalls a series of extraordinary performances he witnessed during that transitionary year.At the centre of the episode is Greg's vivid recollection of the 19 January 1968 concert at Lewes Town Hall, a rare performance featuring the short-lived five-man Pink Floyd line-up with Syd Barrett and David Gilmour both on stage. Greg remembers the evening in remarkable detail, from the character of the hall itself and the local promoter who organised the event, to the backstage atmosphere and the stories that have survived from that night.Most striking of all is Greg's memory of David Gilmour positioned slightly behind Syd Barrett on stage, ready to step forward if Syd stopped playing. It is a fascinating glimpse of Pink Floyd at a fragile moment, still carrying Syd's creative, painterly vision while beginning to adapt to the possibility of continuing without it.The conversation then moves through recollections of several other memorable performances from 1968, including the Falmer House Courtyard show at the University of Sussex in May, the Midsummer High weekend concert in June at Hyde Park, (where Greg captured remarkable photographs of the band at close range), and Middle Earth at the Roundhouse in October.Greg also talks about taping some of the Floyd's BBC sessions, photographing concerts as a teenager, and the atmosphere of the British underground music scene in the late 1960s.If you are interested in early Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett, psychedelic London, and the live music culture of the late 1960s, Greg's memories offer a rare, intimate, first-hand window into that world.Subscribe for more episodes, and we would love to hear your own recollections or questions in the comments.

In this first installment of our conversation with Greg Taylor, Ian Priston explores what it means to remember a cultural moment from the inside, not as nostalgia, but as lived perception. Greg reconstructs his introduction to Pink Floyd through a series of encounters: a poster on King's Road, the underground press, the first shock of a single, and the genuinely unfamiliar experience of the Floyd's early vision performed amid kinetic sculpture and liquid light. Rather than treating Syd Barrett era Floyd as a set of canonical artefacts, Greg's incredible recollections move between the tangible (equipment, ticketing, sight-lines and the physical layout of venues) as well as the interpretative (Barrett's “painterly” logic in sound, the band's rejection of conventional stage charisma and the early tension between pop, mainstream visibility and avant-garde intent). Part 1 ends with the story still in motion, moving towards Greg's attendance of a five-man Floyd Concert in January 1968 and the next phase of the group's evolution. Part 2 arrives next month, so stay tuned!Subscribe for more, and share your own recollections or questions in the comments.
