...good Beatles music sounds and how crap Pink Floyd can sound these
days!

NP: PF 'Obsured By Clouds' (vinyl, of course ;-)

Have a go at this. Not all of Floyd, of course, but I would have
enjoyed being there.

Yes, well that is pure gold and what a coincidence - I had just pulled
my
'Wish You Were Here' album (playing now) when I saw your post. A
pinnacle
for both acoustic guitar and saxophone.

And yes, I would have loved to have been there!


Amazing how little it takes to create magic. A pair of consummate
musicians is all.


Yes and sometimes they will only have simple instruments or guitars with
missing strings!

Try this wacky clip foe a somewhat less than spectacular example:

Not getting any help from the crappy recording, is it? ;-)

OK, I just read a couple of the responses - recorded with a digital
camera,
it appears!


Or some serious kitchen-based magic...

That's a good effort but yer man Gilmour (from the 'suggestions') does it
better:

No, I prefer Arthur Brown to this. The guitar is nice, but somehow it
just doesn't quite fit for me.


But even that gets crapped on by Nina Simone, as one of the responses
remarked:

Wait 'til the sax comes in at 1:20


Playing the Nina Simone card at this point is decidedly unfair. Ace of
trumps every time.
