@@DrChaunceyBlevins people that buy bootlegs tend to be the type of collectors who want as much as possible. So they’ll already have all official releases so the artist in question doesn’t lose any income. However, if someone’s first time of hearing an artist is on a bootleg this could influence the persons opinion negatively due to the quality. An artist has the right to chose how we hear them.
Yeah, definitely not a happy face. Gilmour was slightly less unhappy, surprisingly Waters seemed amused. Mason not there but I can’t really see him with an expression such as Wright, to me he’s always seemed to be the most jovial/levelheaded of the band.
I can understand their point of view: but seriously, how could you have miss to record any gig of the Animals tour “In the Flesh” in 1977 !!!! Some critics consider this tour as the best rock tour ever (seriously!) due to the magic merging of show effects and highly inspired updated music version played. If you have listen a bootleg of this tour, you know what I mean (example: Coliseum Oakland 1977, a very unbelievable clean version is available somewhere on RUclips). Then it’s why I consider very shame to have not been able to add any concert with the very new mix edition of Animals. Ps: I know that Nick Mason mentioned several time that they have not recorded any concert of this tour 😮😢
@@marshallgeorge3819 Yes! Very genius version of Pigs (the 3 different ones), and Pigs on the wing part 2 including the final solo of Snowy White, that has been cut on the studio version. But not only these tracks, I want to mention also the unbelievable version of Have a Cigar (very groovy & powerful intro), and all the b side parts of Shine On (extended to 20 min, just unbelievable crazy journey into different atmosphere, including an impro on Carlos Santanas -style before the final magic conclusion write by R. Wright).
Oakland 77 is my favorite bootleg of all times and I've heard hundreds, glad to see someone else give it recognition, that pigs on the wing guitar solo is the best❤
I've seen over seventy-five classic rock concerts and had I seen one of these In the Flesh shows, it would have easily been in my top five favorites. And, yes, the Oakland show is one I've listened to many times. Aside from a few loud fireworks during the Wish You Were Here album (especially during the Wish You Were Here song), I enjoyed every second of it. They even played what sounded like parts of Echoes during Money. The concert rocked. Adding Snowy White really helped.
Floyd had such toxic management. They focused solely on studio recordings, while COMPLETELY disregarding the legions of fans who want to hear the live recordings because they could never see them in concert themselves.
Roger didn't want to release a live album. How do you explain the 1974 Wembley recordings (eventually released in 2011) or The Wall 1980-81 recordings (released in 2000 over Roger's protests). David has released tour documents of the last two Pink Floyd tours (Delicate Sound and PULSE) and every solo tour he has undertaken (either as audio or video or BOTH). Roger is sitting on The Wall footage and he refused to document Pros and Cons, KAOS, Dark Side of the Moon 2006/07 and he is not releasing a live album for This Is Not a Drill. Sometimes a band will decide against something. David Gilmour stated that he regretted not releasing the 1974 Wembley material sooner and regrets the 1975 and 1977 Tours were not recorded hence why Atlanta, Nassau Coliseum, Venice and Knebworth were the four documents of the 1987-90 tours released and PULSE was one Earls Court show on video but the album was from 10 of the Earls Court shows and 10 European shows.
Yoshimi, Rush scrapped a planned live album after Permanent Waves for Moving Pictures. David Bowie scrapped Earls Court Live for the inferior Stage. Queen scrapped Rainbow and Earls Court for the lousy butcher job Live Killers. Led Zeppelin were too focused on making albums and sat on live recordings for years. Genesis documented every tour in some way shape or form (pieces were issues as either full live albums or in box sets). Van Halen turned down making live albums although the multitracks of Oakland '81 and US Festival are sitting in the vaults. Styx were to release a live album in 1980 but Derek Sutton (the manager at the time) didn't want to until he got fired and replaced by Irving Azoff and Howard Kaufman who greenlit Caught In The Act Live.
I saw them at the spectrum in Philadelphia. Their sound system made the band. The lights and sound was one of the best bands I ever saw and ever heard. I'm a Pink Floyd fan for ever
@@williammckay9229 WOW! Maybe you and I saw each other and were like two passing ships in the night as they say. I saw David Gilmore at the Madison square garden 5 years ago.

Some live performances do have the same quality as studio, both of King Crimson's 1973 studio albums have live recordings and you wouldn't know unless someone told you. You just need to record it properly
@@plashe9041 True. I was a recording engineer in the 1970s. Some live concerts were recorded with as little as one microphone. It was usually a budgetary thing: it costs money to record correctly.
Bands like the Grateful Dead profited off bootlegging because each concert was a unique experience and the more they allowed it the better the quality of bootlegging was. Phenomenal even their own studio they were recording with advised against it. But it worked out completely in their favor.
Well I respect what they were saying back in the day… With that said.. I am fucking glad that people took the time, patience and energy to record many of their shows. While the sound quality couldve been done better with professional equipment and access. Those bootleggers gave us a glimpse a to what Pink Floyd were like back in the 60s and early 70s. I only saw them once just before I turned 14 in 1977 at Anaheim. And while I enjoyed that concert… My favorite time period for Pin Floyd is from 1968 to when thy released Dark Side of the Moon. In fact after DSOTM they started to decline due to fame, money, egos (hey Roger) and that thing that happens when you get into your late 20s/ early 30s… You lose the will to be experimental and fearless (no pun intended). So being able to listen to those bootlegs concerts is still a goldmine to me. Those bootlegs are what made Pink Floyd for me. I just want to apologize to them for buying bootlegs and taking money out of their pockets. NOT!!! If those bootlegs didnt exist I wouldnt have many versions of Atom Heart Mother or Saucerful of Secrets… Or even the live Alan’s Psychedelic Breakfast from December 22, 1970 at Sheffield I believe… which contains my favorite moment of Pin Floyd ever when David Gilmour does that end of the world solo towards the end of Morning Glory. ✌🏽❤️🎸🍄
Right there with you! I also prefer the earlier PF material & I collected quite a few boots thru the years prior to the mega collection they released a few years ago of the early material (which I also bought). Those early years they were still hungry and experimenting, before songwriting credits and egos became more important. Bands sometimes are too critical of themselves, not understanding the love their fans have for them and their material, live as well as studio. I, like others, would have probably bought a live official album release of every year since 1967, but sadly the band only gave us the one glimpse on Ummagumma. Not like boot collectors don't own all the official releases, but we want more!
@@charleschauffe5884 I agree. Over the years I have bought Pink Floyd officially released albums, cds, box sets in multiples. And part of that is due to the fact that I loved what I heard on bootlegs and it made me more interested in the band. So basically bootlegs made me buy more officially released things from Pink Floyd.
Absolutely agree. It took me a few years to finally appreciate it but the era ‘68 to ‘73 is the best era of Pink Floyd. It’s the real Floyd for me. Spacey, experimental, pretentious, weird and folky at times. A time when they were a cult band playing intimate gigs and not stratospherically successful. I wonder how many fans they lost when DSOTM made them huge?
@@charleschauffe5884 Don’t forget Live at Pompeii!!! Personally I’m really disappointed by the band’s views on stuff like Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother. The weirdness and difference of those albums is what got me hooked on the Floyd.
The bootlegs made me realise what all the fuss was about the early stuff. A classic example is how “Careful…” developed over time live until by 1972 and Pompeii it was in its definitive form. A full four years after its release.
Doesn't look too good I'm afraid. The concert was recorded on an early quad setup, but there were significant synch-issues. Between that and the niche market, EMI pulled the plug. However, Peter Jenner did a fold down stereo mix in 1986 but the band veteoed its release on Opel (see his Vegetable Man and Scream Thy Last Scream mixes) and again in 1993 for the Crazy Diamond Syd Barrett boxset. Abbey Road does show that there was a mastering session as late as 2001, where it was rumored to be part of the ill-fated BBC recordings (project vetoed by a former bandmate). A 5.1 mix was made in 2012 and was shortlisted for inclusion on The Early Years box but was vetoed by same said bandmate and another bandmate citing issues with the tape quality. And yet, if it could be mixed in surround sound, how bad could the quality be? A lot of treasures were left off that boxset due to vetoes (Meddle in 5.1, the Ummagumma sessions disc, Pink Floyd's band audition tape for EMI, etc) but other things did manage to eek through by using tapes of lower quality and sometimes using incomplete recordings by more obliging sources than the reluctant rights holders of the best quality tapes. Hence why we only got the band's version of the Latham sessions (and not the Syd, Rick and Steve Took recording) and only a mono fragment of Moonhead instead of the soundboard tape. Then again you had incidents where collectors came forward with the tapes for the band only to be sued and then to have their offers to the band rescinded. That's why you have the hissy incomplete BBC version of the Gnome, and why you haven't heard Syd's acoustic demos for Joe Boyd. Recently, Early Morning Henry has surfaced, and it's worth checking out the fragment. Not exactly Floyd sounding, but interstingly odd.
@@jordil6152 such a shame. I can only hope a bootleg surfaces. To hear a live version of bike would be nice, and I always enjoy a new performance of Interstellar overdrive. Could you direct me to any good reading about the performance? The Wikipedia page feels lacking.
@@Sir_Maximus_Hardwood There is no solid record of Games For May being recorded, though it is said The BBC were there, Hans Keller certainly was as they did Look Of The Week a few days later.
I wonder if any one of them would still say this. Because without these boots before the Pink Floyd mythology wouldn't have been anything compared to what it became. I used to hop on the train on weekends, walk down to the Village from Grand Central (it's a long walk) and scour the record stores for Floyd shows. Or, I'd find shows to trade in the back of Goldmine. It wasn't like to day where you just open youtube an everything is right there at your fingertips. You had to work at finding the music, the end result of which was that you'd become deeply loyal to the band and their music. Here I am 40+ years later still talking about the band.
I found French Vanilla ice cream at my local grocer... therefore Vanilla Bean ice cream shouldn't exist. Do you even hear yourself? You're like an old grouch yelling at kids to stay off his lawn. smh
It is the same thing, because what it really comes down to is the fact that you think your opinion is fact. Your kindergarten teacher should've taught you the difference between objective and subjective. Again... once again... if you don't like it... DON'T WATCH IT.
One of the great tragedies of this era is that bands and their managment were so afraid of live bootleg albums cutting into record sales that they rarely recorded any live shows. They didn't have to be the Grateful Dead but at least record a few shows for posterity. The only recordings of the 1977 Animals Tour are a couple crappy ones done by fans. It's fucking criminal that the world doesn't have at least one soundboard recording from that tour.
Eagles, Led Zeppelin were guilty of this as well (Eagles' 1976 LA Forum recordings were released in pieces on either Eagles Live OR Hotel California 40th while Zeppelin released highlights of Royal Albert, Earls Court and Knebworth on the 2003 DVD and the full 1972 and 1973 recordings as How the West Was Won and The Song Remains the Same respectively). Iron Maiden also as there are no recordings of the World Piece '83 nor Somewhere on Tour '86/'87 tours. Styx wanted to but Derek Sutton said no. Queen recorded every tour professionally except News Of The World where they had no multitrack performances and settled for the butcher job of Live Killers. Steve Miller even rejected releasing a live recording from his peak until 2022 (a live 1977 recording was finally released then). As far as Pink Floyd goes, they did record the 1974 Wembley gigs and Earls Court 1980-81 but left them unreleased until 2000 for The Wall shows and 2011 for Wembley properly mixed and mastered.
Roger Waters. They recorded two of the three Wembley Arena shows in 1974 which were released years later on the expanded The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here reissues.
In verità hanno capito di aver fatto una cazzata a non registrarsi tutti i concerti dal vivo.... avrebbero avuto materiale da far uscire per decenni , dando ai fan un qualcosa di irripetibile da ottenere in studio ...
With very few exceptions like the Grateful Dead that allowed it. A bootleg recording is almost always someone with a small hidden tape recorder. Now I wonder way a recording of a live show on some probaby piece of crap tape recorder doesn't sound as good as a studio album done in a controlled environment.
It’s dissapointing that the band are so disparaging about this period - ‘68 to ‘72. For me, although the work isn’t perfect, it represents the real Pink Floyd. The later stuff is great of course but it lacks the raw experimentation, the exciting spaciness and weirdness that made them such an cult band. They lost a lot by becoming so successful to the point they could almost be regarded as MOR by the 1980s and 90s. Don’t get me wrong, I love DSOTM, WYWH and especially Animals but they’re no longer a true band by this point. Augmented by saxophones and backing singers and driven apart by egos and writing credits it feels by 1975 they were driven mainly by money. The Gilmour era in particular felt like a massive cash grab.
1971, Germersheim, Germany a worthy show with bootleg album...all fun until one ends up living there courtesy of God's wicked sense of humor 51 years later.
From their faces they all look in shock. As though having been physically assaulted. To work so hard and have someone just steal the product. Rick especially. RIP.😢
I don't think bootlegs harm bands the way they are led to believe by their masters. True fans will buy it all regardless and ones that cannot afford the studio released material won't buy it anyways. So who's left?
Il manager può dire quello che vuole……i bootlegs dei Pink Floyd sono preziose testimonianze delle loro performance. Io ho Pinky…..non sarà registrato bene ma meglio averlo che non sapere come hanno suonato. Lo tengo come una reliquia, al pari di altri che posseggo, alcuni di essi introvabili e usciti in tiratura di poche copie. Viva i bootlegs
Steve O’Rourke (Pink Floyd’s manager from 1968-2003 (his passing)). He was a father figure/older brother figure to David Gilmour, Nick Mason and the late Rick Wright. Unfortunately Steve fell out with Roger and Roger holds ill will to Steve and Rick after their deaths.
I've mentioned this before has Pink Floyd ever played anything off their umaguma album or their first two to three albums now I'm going to assume back in the day when you first started they might have done that but nowadays it seems like they never touch those albums and obviously they're not around anymore but still not the same but kind of the same I would have to say the modern equivalent to these guys but a little bit different obviously is tool
They played Astronomy Domino in the 1990s, Careful With That Axe Eugene last in 1977, A Saucerful of Secrets in 1971, and Grantchester Meadows in 1970. I love their pre-DSOTM bootlegs. There are much better ones than were released by the band last year. Those were mostly rubbish.
David Gilmour played Astronomy Domine on solo tours and also Arnold Layne on his 2006 Tour and a one-off Remember a Day in 2008 after Rick passed away.
Isn't that the only way to make music originally. This sounds like out of this world. The fella in the 👓 🕶 😎 glasses was probably too ashamed to admit the beutification of his ears and senses...just saying! He was speechless

A lot of treasures were left off that boxset due to vetoes (Meddle in 5.1, the Ummagumma sessions disc, Pink Floyd's band audition tape for EMI, etc) but other things did manage to eek through by using tapes of lower quality and sometimes using incomplete recordings by more obliging sources than the reluctant rights holders of the best quality tapes. Hence why we only got the band's version of the Latham sessions (and not the Syd, Rick and Steve Took recording) and only a mono fragment of Moonhead instead of the soundboard tape.
Then again you had incidents where collectors came forward with the tapes for the band only to be sued and then to have their offers to the band rescinded. That's why you have the hissy incomplete BBC version of the Gnome, and why you haven't heard Syd's acoustic demos for Joe Boyd. Recently, Early Morning Henry has surfaced, and it's worth checking out the fragment. Not exactly Floyd sounding, but interstingly odd.
@@jordil6152 such a shame. I can only hope a bootleg surfaces. To hear a live version of bike would be nice, and I always enjoy a new performance of Interstellar overdrive. Could you direct me to any good reading about the performance? The Wikipedia page feels lacking.
@@Sir_Maximus_Hardwood There is no solid record of Games For May being recorded, though it is said The BBC were there, Hans Keller certainly was as they did Look Of The Week a few days later.
Just look at there face's 😑...😂😂😂
I wonder if any one of them would still say this. Because without these boots before the Pink Floyd mythology wouldn't have been anything compared to what it became. I used to hop on the train on weekends, walk down to the Village from Grand Central (it's a long walk) and scour the record stores for Floyd shows. Or, I'd find shows to trade in the back of Goldmine. It wasn't like to day where you just open youtube an everything is right there at your fingertips. You had to work at finding the music, the end result of which was that you'd become deeply loyal to the band and their music. Here I am 40+ years later still talking about the band.
I bought a bootleg version of The Wall because it had the full concert version with all the songs.
Nick IS in there too. Watch closely.
PINK FLOYD 🏭 🐖 🐑 🐕
Manager: It is disgusting!
Roger: * WTF *
David: * RESTRAINT *
Rick: * stunned *
Nick: ººooOO( Shall I tell him? )
Rick...Bloody Ticked Off...
Who is the manager?
I think David Gilmour is so handsome, crushing on him since he joined the band. Love you David !!!! 😘😘😘😘😘🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸👑👑👑👑👑👑💕💕💕💕💕
Quit it with the TikTok style shorts. Pink Floyd deserves better
I'll take any and all forms of Pink Floyd content. If you don't like it... don't watch it.
I found the full, correct orientation, clip which was much better. This vertical video short shouldn't exist. I don't know why they waste the time
I found French Vanilla ice cream at my local grocer... therefore Vanilla Bean ice cream shouldn't exist. Do you even hear yourself? You're like an old grouch yelling at kids to stay off his lawn. smh
lol, that's not the same thing at all. I'm not going to break this down for you any further. Later
It is the same thing, because what it really comes down to is the fact that you think your opinion is fact. Your kindergarten teacher should've taught you the difference between objective and subjective. Again... once again... if you don't like it... DON'T WATCH IT.
Who is the guy in the sunglasses?
Their manager Steve O'Rourke
@@cliffemall7984 cheers
@@cliffemall7984 Thanks!
I thought it was Rogers brother lol, they look and sound even speak so similar
That one's the real Pink
Anyone ever hear Syd’s last performance with Stars? What a load of rubbish. You can barely make out the songs. I freaking love it!
A loving fan since 75💗
Roger waters face 😂
their reactions: 😐😐😐😐
God what a fantastic band they were though. Unique!
The most bootlegged band ever. I think every city if every show is out there. I had so many on one hard drive and it crashed.
One of the great tragedies of this era is that bands and their managment were so afraid of live bootleg albums cutting into record sales that they rarely recorded any live shows. They didn't have to be the Grateful Dead but at least record a few shows for posterity. The only recordings of the 1977 Animals Tour are a couple crappy ones done by fans. It's fucking criminal that the world doesn't have at least one soundboard recording from that tour.
Eagles, Led Zeppelin were guilty of this as well (Eagles' 1976 LA Forum recordings were released in pieces on either Eagles Live OR Hotel California 40th while Zeppelin released highlights of Royal Albert, Earls Court and Knebworth on the 2003 DVD and the full 1972 and 1973 recordings as How the West Was Won and The Song Remains the Same respectively). Iron Maiden also as there are no recordings of the World Piece '83 nor Somewhere on Tour '86/'87 tours. Styx wanted to but Derek Sutton said no. Queen recorded every tour professionally except News Of The World where they had no multitrack performances and settled for the butcher job of Live Killers. Steve Miller even rejected releasing a live recording from his peak until 2022 (a live 1977 recording was finally released then).
As far as Pink Floyd goes, they did record the 1974 Wembley gigs and Earls Court 1980-81 but left them unreleased until 2000 for The Wall shows and 2011 for Wembley properly mixed and mastered.
The reason bootlegs exist is because it's the only way to listen to live material from their heyday...
From That...Prison Exist As Well...
Who’s the guy in the glasses?
Floyd bootlegs are the best!!!
Why did they not pro record anything from In Flesh tour then?
Roger Waters. They recorded two of the three Wembley Arena shows in 1974 which were released years later on the expanded The Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here reissues.
My reaction to that information:
In verità hanno capito di aver fatto una cazzata a non registrarsi tutti i concerti dal vivo.... avrebbero avuto materiale da far uscire per decenni , dando ai fan un qualcosa di irripetibile da ottenere in studio ...
Could someone explain to me the whole story of this? I’m failing to understand what exactly happened here 😅
rick wanted to get out of there
Bootleggers actually did us all a favour😂🤘🏻
Now if you gave them the same recording with all the modern enhancements and restoration work added on top, I’m sure they’d speak different
Always thought Gilmour really handsome but rick wright really good looking also
With very few exceptions like the Grateful Dead that allowed it. A bootleg recording is almost always someone with a small hidden tape recorder. Now I wonder way a recording of a live show on some probaby piece of crap tape recorder doesn't sound as good as a studio album done in a controlled environment.
The thing is the band never bothered to release live albums of shows so bootlegs are the way to go.
I kinda have to agree with the man in the john Lennon glasses but not as much as he does
It’s dissapointing that the band are so disparaging about this period - ‘68 to ‘72. For me, although the work isn’t perfect, it represents the real Pink Floyd. The later stuff is great of course but it lacks the raw experimentation, the exciting spaciness and weirdness that made them such an cult band. They lost a lot by becoming so successful to the point they could almost be regarded as MOR by the 1980s and 90s. Don’t get me wrong, I love DSOTM, WYWH and especially Animals but they’re no longer a true band by this point. Augmented by saxophones and backing singers and driven apart by egos and writing credits it feels by 1975 they were driven mainly by money. The Gilmour era in particular felt like a massive cash grab.
Still a true band just bigger and bulkier and richer and changed
Maybe They should have named it relics.
Or Rubbish...
Typical attitude of music business owners
I have a question was that recording done in the UFO club back in the mid 1960s?
1971, Germersheim, Germany a worthy show with bootleg album...all fun until one ends up living there courtesy of God's wicked sense of humor 51 years later.
From their faces they all look in shock. As though having been physically assaulted.
To work so hard and have someone just steal the product.
Rick especially. RIP.😢
rick: 🙁
No one will ever be superior to the British when it comes to music……..🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Поставив лайк усім, крім Уотерса.
I have a multitude of floyd bootlegs. Of course they are inferior but still collectors items as far as Im concerned.
I don't think bootlegs harm bands the way they are led to believe by their masters.
True fans will buy it all regardless and ones that cannot afford the studio released material won't buy it anyways. So who's left?
Roger didn't look too impressed. 😂
What song were they criticizing
Donald Fagen and Walter Becker would approve.
It is disgusting
Il manager può dire quello che vuole……i bootlegs dei Pink Floyd sono preziose testimonianze delle loro performance. Io ho Pinky…..non sarà registrato bene ma meglio averlo che non sapere come hanno suonato. Lo tengo come una reliquia, al pari di altri che posseggo, alcuni di essi introvabili e usciti in tiratura di poche copie. Viva i bootlegs
Whos the guy with the glasses?
Steve O’Rourke (Pink Floyd’s manager from 1968-2003 (his passing)). He was a father figure/older brother figure to David Gilmour, Nick Mason and the late Rick Wright. Unfortunately Steve fell out with Roger and Roger holds ill will to Steve and Rick after their deaths.
Simone Guimaraes ,love THE Pink Floyd
David was (is) so gorgeous back in the day!! Course, weren't we ALL back then. He's aged better than most of us...my love, always and forever.
Gilmour very handsome but so was Rick... Roger looks good here too
Whos the guys with the glasses?
What was that?if you could honestly tell me, that what I just heard ,was in fact, Pink Floyd, I'd say , you're special.
❤
I've mentioned this before has Pink Floyd ever played anything off their umaguma album or their first two to three albums now I'm going to assume back in the day when you first started they might have done that but nowadays it seems like they never touch those albums and obviously they're not around anymore but still not the same but kind of the same I would have to say the modern equivalent to these guys but a little bit different obviously is tool
They played Astronomy Domino in the 1990s, Careful With That Axe Eugene last in 1977, A Saucerful of Secrets in 1971, and Grantchester Meadows in 1970. I love their pre-DSOTM bootlegs. There are much better ones than were released by the band last year. Those were mostly rubbish.
Nick Mason is playing the early albums exclusively with his Saucerful of Secrets tour. It's Stellar!
They played a number of Ummagumma tracks on the “The Man and the Journey” tour of 1969. But otherwise the band are very disparaging about that period.
Opened with Astronomy Domine Tampa in 1994
David Gilmour played Astronomy Domine on solo tours and also Arnold Layne on his 2006 Tour and a one-off Remember a Day in 2008 after Rick passed away.
Saludos the pink floyd the wall buena tarde
live in pompeii?
David Gilmour looks stoned.
That's just his dreamy bedroom eyes.
Spittin facts
First time I’ve ever seen Roger’s Brother
Same Here...I Didn't Know Thr Chap Had A Brother...
Roger 🤨 David 🫤 Rick 😐
Nick is in there too. Watch closely.
conosco bene quel tipo di voce

Isn't that the only way to make music originally. This sounds like out of this world. The fella in the 👓 🕶 😎 glasses was probably too ashamed to admit the beutification of his ears and senses...just saying! He was speechless
❤❤❤❤
That guy in the glasses is like Roger water's clone
who is he?
@@MsJeffreyF think he used to be they're manager
@@psilocybinDylHe’s dead now
man))their manager is a posh version of Roger))) even the way he talks
Oh no! A cropped video that's shorter than 3 hours! The channel's pet, "Kriket Englands", is gonna bark all day long now because this is not meant for true fans like himself! Why won't the channel administrators listen to the demands of a random dog and start uploading what HE wants instead! I don't know!
meh. I like the originals. all the revised / updated stuff is just additional noise.
Sorry, who’s the dude in the glasses?
🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
Roger looked towards david . .the band is mine now!
Any one know where I can listen to this
