  • Summary

  • Well, this was ill-advised, I now think to myself... and now you've got a big ol' buffet to keep going back to for as many trips as you'd like, and I don't know how many of you were expecting Jell-O as well as sushi after your fried green beans. But, whether you listen to it all in sequence or segments, I hope it's valuable to you! Here's a few things you will hear about during the ride:  Contraptions used to make Pink Floyd songs like "One of These Days" happen and how they were calibratedThe definition of scenery gorn and other tropes found in the filmThe Bear's emotional relationship with the Wall of Sound, which becomes everyone's relationship with it as well, because The Dead could not perform the same way on everyone else's rinky dink P.A. systems after experiencing the clarity they were used toPink Floyd's year-long scheme to move from Capitol to CBS in AmericaHendrix blowing off the Dead on the night he promised to jam, and their low key "revenge"Antonioni's opinions on filmmaking in America vs Italy. What it was like to film Z.P. through the eyes of an American member of the crew who actually did admire his workRichard Wright not showing up very much, getting bootedJerry Garcia records his Zabriskie Point soundtrack music in much less time than he wanted to. And has his payment stolen by Mickey Hart's dad. Who also steals car parts and speakers from BearFloyd does more regrouping, post-breakup with Roger. Roger gets cranky. Clapton gets a cheeseburger. Roger is still cranky today that the band he walked away from and then sued when they didn't die without him will not promote his albums on their social mediaThe Grateful Dead play for the largest outdoor rock audience of all time in upstate New York. And perform long soundcheck concerts for free on top of thatPink Floyd's 1975 SoCal shows being ruined by LAPD for 4 daysPhil Lesh drinks Canadian Whisky with mystery capsules in it and Jerry Garcia crawls around on the floor like a caterpillar who can't leave the room on his ownKurt Loder gives a mean-spirited review of a mean-spirited album.  Monthly exclusive Rock History bonus feed here https://www.patreon.com/rockfilmrock Choose your preferred method of supporting the show for no money or maybe some money: PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/whatsamatta Shirt designs with defeatist messaging delivered via bright colors and childish graphics: https://www.bonfire.com/store/justtheworstshirtsever/ Subscribe to me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV4Up7xGgjioEC07bjwu4mQ Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justtheworstever/ Send me an email with show suggestions: Justtheworstever@gmail.com  https://antonioni9.wordpress.com/2021/06/25/michelangelo-and-the-leviathan-the-making-of-zabriskie-point-1992/  https://antonioni9.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/lets-talk-about-zabriskie-point-august-1970/ https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/pink-floyd-the-inside-story-104505/ https://archive.org/details/guitarworldprese0000unse/page/26/mode/2up https://archive.org/details/saucerfulofsecre00scha/page/n7/mode/2up https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jim+ladd+innerview+pink+floyd
