This turned out to be the icing on the cake after two great days at the Summer Fog Festival:
Truth be known, I've only ever really paid full attention to the Roger Waters-driven era of Pink Floyd (The Wall and The Final Cut - an incredibly underrated album, in my opinion), and the post-Roger Waters era (A Momentary Lapse of Reason and The Division Bell).
Of course, I'm also familiar with Dark Side of the Moon; Wish You Were Here; and Animals, but earlier than this is a bit of a haze.
Still, I was always going to recognise Arnold Layne, Astronomy Domine, and See Emily Play.
And a bit to my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed listening to all the other earlier Pink Floyd material played live, especially Echoes.
Found every second of (the 23-minute) Echoes captivating.
Also found Nick Mason's amiable chats between every 1-2 tunes really interesting and illuminating, they added a lot of context to the music (e.g. how it was a real rare treat to hear Vegetable Man live).
Really happy that I caught Nick Mason's Saucerful of Secrets live, this kind of adds to seeing Roger Waters do The Wall at the National Football Stadium in Warsaw about 10 years ago.
