[edit] History/Notability

I was under the impression that The Man and the Journey was a concept that never fully materialized, but was performed live for an entire tour. Kind of like a live compilation concept album. The notability of the Amsterdam show is only that it is the Man/Journey performance that is most commonly bootlegged (by far). This could and should be a much more informative article than it presently is. Some help from an expert would be great. --Alcuin 13:23, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

It was definitely a fully materialized concept, it was just one they never bothered to record. There isn't much information about it - most notably, about what the band thought about the project - but it clearly, at some point, just became the source material for much of Ummagumma (including "Biding My Time", recorded but not put onto the album) and More. Part of it may have been that concepts such as building a table onstage during "Work" which they then took tea at wouldn't translate well to a studio album; it might have been they didn't think anyone would have been interested in a long concept piece, so channeled the material into other projects. Unfortunately, I can't find much source material for improvement; even Schaffner, who of course mentions it, just says that most of the material made it into the studio in different forms. The article could definitely be improved upon, but there's not a whole lot of source material from which to improve it. I'll try to put some work into it in the next little while, now that the rush on Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett in the wake of his death have calmed down. - dharmabum 03:46, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Is this the right track listing? ive found other sources which suggest it was different to this.

Sort of. There were many different track lists. This is the correct track list from the Amsterdam show. Other shows have other track lists, as noted in the article. --Helioshockwave 23:39, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Waters -- Teatime

I remember seeing a Roger Waters live DVD several years ago (late 90s?) where he and the band members were served tea on stage. Does anyone have access to this DVD and know what connection that section of the show might have to "The Man and the Journey"? It seems like too much a coincidence to not have some relationship.
