Pink Floyd- Meddle @55- David Gilmour, Nick Mason, Roger Waters 10-26

The sidelong eighteen minute epic “Echoes” from Pink Floyd’s Fall 1971 album Meddle was the Apollo 8 mission for the band, stretching the boundaries of where Pink Floyd’s music would soon land in the future with Dark Side of the Moon.

Meddle was the all-important foray into the future, theirs and ours, the bridge to all that would lie ahead for Pink Floyd’s unparalleled influence on Progressive Rock and late 20th Century pop culture. Musical space travelers David Gilmour, Nick Mason, and Roger Waters join me here In the Studio for the fifty-fifth anniversary of Pink Floyd’s Meddle the week of October 26. –Redbeard
