Really well done, nice. I saw Roger on The Pros And Cons Of Hitchhiking tour one year after. The Final Cut has grown on me a lot over the years, seemed like a bit of a letdown after The Wall at the time but I’ve grown to appreciate it a lot more.

It's an underated album and in retrospect one of their best. I used to have it on casette and never really listened to it until at the very end of my breif flirtation with psychedelics which lasted about a year back when i was about 20. So I was listening to it one day not tripping or anything and it just really clicked and felt very 'heavy" but also soothing and like a beginning but also an ending.
this was also a great song from it and oddly enough when i googled for it the same youtube guy had this

That’s pretty poignant in more than one way really…that album was essentially the end of Pink Floyd for me and the beginning of Waters’ solo career. But I feel ya’ on a deeper level too. Great and artistic vids, both of those.

That Linda one is really nice. I remember hearing the name before but never heard her. Gonna check it out. For some reason everytime I hear "hippy folk music" like this from the late 60's anymore (this came out in 70....close enough) I think the Manson family partly I think because if you've ever heard any recordings from Chuck's Lie album such as Look at your game girl or (not from the album) the Manson girsl singing allways is allways forever....there is the serene quality to it but then there is the violent grittyness which was the late 60's LA...especially the Mansons. Why I have that association I don't know :embarrassed:

Yeah, the Parallelograms album has gained kind of a cult following over the years (speaking of cults :embarrassed:). But I can def. see that line/connection w/ the folky/hippy SoCal scene, that album would fit in perfectly w/ all of that and the Manson recordings too…he had some musical talent and hob knobbed with other famous musicians in LA during that time, Dennis Wilson, Monkees, Buffalo Springfield etc. My ex’s parents lived there during that time and knew a lot of those people including Manson, my mother in law has some stories about him trying to get her to join the “family” and all of that. Crazy stuff. These two fit pretty squarely in that category too, but not from LA obviously.

That first one is really great and the video :eek: Pentangle is always good!

Here's one I uploaded about a decade ago when I went to the Barker ranch in Death valley. I had seen the Helter Skelter movie as a kid and then I read the book in the fall of 2012 I think so I had a week of vacation at Christmas time as usual and I decided i wanted to take R. 66 to Californy and then go checkout the manson hideout where he was captured which is Barker ranch in D.V....I recorded some of the drive out and I had a Charles Manson bootleg playing for aesthetics :embarrassed: Great mother in law story btw :embarrassed:

The second vid is not showing for me, but I'm guessing from DdBob's comment that it's Pentangle? Which song is it? I love Pentangle.

That’s some pretty eerie shit with the music going in the background and knowing the history of it all. I’ve read books and have seen a bunch of documentaries on it, and of course the Helter Skelter movie. I enjoy that scenery, it reminds me of when I used to go for drives and sometimes camp out in the Ortegas to some of the more remote spots, it’s beautiful but also has a perpetual eerie undercurrent…one time I was there camping with my (now ex) wife and we got completely spooked, it felt like someone was watching us. We left quickly, it still gives me chills thinking about it. You might find this of interest, a vlogger that I watch on occasion:
