One of SP's recent triumphs. This song is awesome. My favorite band covering a song from my second favorite band.



The ozphoria crew has some other good video's from their travels here

Who actually wrote the song?

PINK FLOYD, OF COURSE!

Son, do yourself a favor and get you a Floyd cd ASAP!

start off with dark side of the moon, followed by the live pulse cd, soooooooooooo good!!!

That's cool to the power of cool.

Pretty awesome, but who is the random dumbass with the tambourine????

haha I like Pink Floyd, I just have never heard the song before.

Yes, yes the almighty Pink Floyd
I don't know one single Progresive/Rock Band without any PF-influences...

ghostchild Pretty awesome, but who is the random dumbass with the tambourine????

That's Spaceboy! Jesse Corgan

The next night at the V Festival they played Set The Controls a with special guest appearance from Jesse again, and he rocked out twice as hard - it was great. Unfortunately Billy didn't introduce him so you did get people in the crowd saying shit like 'who's that retard?'...at the end of the song Billy thanked his brother jesse though, and he got a huge cheer.

interesting....did he ever play anything else or just randomly gyrate about with a tambourine?

And did he (or any of them) actually think anybody would be able to hear that tambourine without a mic anywhere near it?? haha....

I like the cover, but I do think Billy could have taken the time to introduce his brother instead of leaving him to look like some random fool.

a little random that his brother is playing tambourine, but cool nonetheless

That's cool. Don't suppose anyone could get a decent MP3 of this up somewhere? Pleeeeaaaaase?

in loving respect to Syd Barrett

"A Saucerful of Secrets is the second album by rock band Pink Floyd, and arguably one of the first progressive rock albums. It was recorded at EMI's Abbey Road Studios, at various dates from August, 1967 to April, 1968. Due to Syd Barrett's declining mental state, this was to be the last Pink Floyd album that he would work on.

Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" (another Waters composition) is a space rock number which was first performed with Barrett in 1967. Arguably Waters's first great composition while in the band, the success of the track was such that it remained in their live set-list until 1973 where it appeared in a greatly extended form. Waters later performed the track during solo concerts from 1984 - present. Waters borrowed the lyrics from a book of Chinese Poetry from the Tang Dynasty, like Barrett had used in "Chapter 24".

There is an MP3 courtesy of Arthur on SP freaks in one of the threads.

Ah, thanks for the info
