Actually, Gypsi, the last thing I heard or read on the subject had the band
denying an intent to synch with the WOO. However, they left open the
possibility that Roger Waters (who had left the band at the time of the
interview) may have deliberately done it during the final mix, mastering
stages of the recording, since he was heavily involved in that (and apparently
the rest of the band wasn't).

RE #29 Or (unless your cassette deck has auto reverse) taking the cassette
out, turning it over, and playing side 2.

I saw it through the entire movie..the CD was repeated 2 1/2 times.

When I did it we put the CD on repeat. There is a little bit right after the
CD starts the second time when things like the Tin Woodsman's creaky joints
synch up really well, but a few songs into the second repeat of the CD it
seemed to stop working so well.

Eeep.  Campus Life, a student organization here at CWU, did it and I didn't
write down the points for certain.  They had to practice the first one a lot,
so I assume it would be possible to figure out the other ones.

Hi,
I am a huge fan of Floyd and the Doors. I havent got the opportunity of
watching Floyd live though, but I have pursued any info about the band and
tried catching up on all thier videos.

I guess if we look at the emergence of Floyd as a band, the beat generation
that fuelled this kind of music, it was a very strong message that people from
that generation were trying to send out to the world that its time that we
look beyond the normal trivial inane materialistic desires that we end up
chasing all our lives, and try to levitate into the higher planes of life.
Although this might be considered by many as an excuse for people to dope and
live in self contained worlds, it was a very serious attempt by people who
were interested in soul searching to accomplish their quest.

Floyd during Syd's time was the real FLoyd I guess, although it still
maintained its charm later, it was slightly laid back and inhibited. The
reading of American poetry in 1965 by Allan Ginsburg, Ferlinghetti and others
really inspired the underground scene in London, the birth of Floyd, which
was actually born at that time, but Syd was given a boost by the revolution
talking place in America. Other than Dylan, The Who, and a couple of small
other bands that made it big for sometime, there were not many bands that
sprung in the 1960's beat generation, although many were inspired by it later.
Oops, I forget Grateful Dead. Even Nirvana has some influence of the beat
generation .. references to Neal Cassady, who was a big influence on Allan
Ginsburg and Jack Kerouac (On the Road).

As for the Doors, I consider Morrison as one of the most revoltionary figures
in the '60's early '70's. His style was really amazing, and American Prayer
still remains the best thing I have ever heard in life. Janis Joplin and
Hendrix also are my favs, but somehow Jim Morrison was a class apart. He drew
heavily on William Blake, which I guess sprung from Huxley's fascination for
Blake, and the The Doors actually got their name from "The Doors of
Perception"by Huxley. It is a remarkable book in the sense that Huxley takes
a quarter gram of mescaline in water, and proceeds to describe his
experiences. Actually Blake inspired a lot of pschedelics of our time. Blake's
description of his out of body experience is pretty interesting and one should
read it if one gets the chance. If anyone has chanced to come across
"sunflower sutra" by Allan Ginsburg, and realises the beauty of that poem,
one should also know that Ginsburg had a dream that Blake appeared in his
dreams and read out his poem "ah! sunflower". Ginsburg thought that he has
seen god and then proceeded to write this poem.

I had an out of body experience once, when I was listening to Floyd for almost
10 hours continuously, and delving deep into the music and the lyrics, and
it has been one of the best experiences in my life.

Encumbered forever by desire and ambition, there is a hunger still
unsatisfied .. 
Our weary eyes still stray to the horizon, thru down this road we've been so
many times !!!

I should point out that Jim Morrison was *very* influenced by the beat 
poets-- in fact, something akin to that was more what he wanted to do 
than singing.  I like the Doors hits that I've heard-- haven't really 
grabbed any albums-- but that's just me.  Definitely an acquired taste, 
since not too many people think much of beat poetry anymore-- not like 
many did.
