So I am sure all sentient life in the universe has by now heard the origin-of-the-pink-floyd-name trivia question .... i think humans are adapting to have that knowledge genetically passed on to future generations... So considering the Pink Anderson and Floyd council are traditional blues bands, you would think PF would have at some point in their long illustrious career played a single traditional blues number... well no such luck... but I recently found a piece that morpheus claimed is a "Pink Floyd Blues Jam"... I was of course skeptical... and therefore I was forced to talk to Sriram Narayanan a.k.a. "pro show" who is the ultimate authority on all floyd related stuff... apparently it so happened in one of their concerts that they had technical difficulties with their backup instruments etc... therefore... the band got together and "jammed" till they could get the stuff fixed.... i know.. I also asked him which floyd era it was... but he doesnt know... if anyone does ... please drop me a line...

Another thing that is kinda interesting that Steely Dan...one of my all-time-favorites... also did the exact same thing... i mean exactly the same thing... that piece ...viz. their technical-difficulties-blues-jam used to be on the web too until the big bad recording companies started waving legal notices in the air...am trying to get my hands on that now... fingers are crossed...
