[edit] Nick's Missing drum stick

"During this song's performance, Mason loses a drumstick and keeps playing with one hand whilst retrieving another, without missing a beat."

I don't really see the point of this sentence. All drummers lose sticks, that's why they always have a pot of them nearby. -- Unsigned statement made by 82.70.200.181, 17:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

> He does miss a beat too. About three of them. -- Unsigned statement made by Paradoxtwin, 00:41, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why "pretend"?

Quote: "... or pretended to record their album ..."

1. Pretend? This isn't verifiable, is it?

2. The film doesn't show the recording of the whole album, but the recording of some tracks only. So the above quote ("record their album") concludes from a wrong premise.

3. It's not unusual in the production process that tracks are being re-recorded during the works on the final mix-down. The fact that they were mixing at the time doesn't exclude that they were re-recording some guitar licks.

4. Gilmour is obviously nervous while he's recording that solo guitar bits. He's even wiping off the sweat from his hand on his trousers. He had to be a good actor in order to show this stressed feeling so authentically.

-- I'm new to Wikipedia, I don't want to edit right now, but I would replace those sentences by these ones:

"These sessions were filmed in January of 1973, the band had already started mixing the album at the time."

"A second version had additional footage of the band as they recorded some tracks for their album ..."
