Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pulse) 1994



12th October 1994 :

Pink Floyd played the first of a 15-night run at Earls Court, London, England. Less than a minute after the band had started playing 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond', a scaffolding stand holding 1200 fans, collapsed, throwing hundreds of people 20 feet to the ground. It took over an hour to free everyone from the twisted wreckage, ninety-six people were injured, with 36 needing hospital treatment. Six were detained overnight with back, neck and rib injuries. Pink Floyd sent a free T-shirt and a note of apology to all the fans who had been seated in the stand that collapsed. The show was immediately cancelled and re-scheduled.

Vanessa carlton ~ Paint It Black



"Paint It Black" is a song released by The Rolling Stones on 13 May 1966 as the first single from the US version of their fourth album Aftermath. Although originally titled without a comma, the release version was styled "Paint It, Black". Keith Richards has stated that the comma was added by the record label, Decca, and that the comma stirred confusion and potential controversy with some listeners: "There were some weird letters, racial letters. 'Was there a comma in the title? Was it an order to the world?'"

The song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. Jagger wrote the lyrics and Richards wrote the music.

Bill Wyman states in his books that the song was a group effort although it was credited to Jagger/Richards.

The single reached number one in both the United States and the UK Singles Chart in 1966. In 2004 it was ranked number 176 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In the US and UK, it was the first number one single to feature a sitar.

This is one of the definitive progressive jazz rock-fusion hybrid dvd albums, and probably the best of its kind. This is definitely leaning more towards progressive jazz, with lengthy multi-part compositions, varying, complex meters, shifting almospheres and electronic instrumentation. This concert held in Montreal Jazz Festival will appeal more to the fans of Jazz fusion lovers. There is plenty of muscular, chops-busting workouts to please the most demanding progressive-head or fusion afficionados.

Jean-Luc Ponty Violin, MIDI Violin, is a total performer, showing here his greatest showmanship.
